"Who are you calling a little guy? My name is Little Phoenix, I'm not some little guy!" Little Phoenix said, baring her teeth.

Xiao Yichen laughed again: "Little Phoenix? What a nice name."

"Of course," Little Phoenix said proudly.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't bother you any longer, girl."

After saying this, Xiao Yichen got up and left. When he walked out of Xianlin Peak, the smile on his face disappeared and his eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that the person knows this little girl, so he has nothing to worry about. However, he is very curious about who that person is, as he was able to enter Blue Star and leave without a sound.

After watching Xiao Yichen leave, Xiao Huang'er instantly transformed into human form.

"Mother, he shouldn't have any suspicions, right?" Little Phoenix asked.

Ji Jiuying put down her chopsticks and bowl: "Whether he has doubts or not is not important. He came here just to test us. Now he has the answer he wanted. Even if he knows, he won't expose this."

As he spoke, he released Hei Xiangling, Dongfang Yao, Xuanwu, and Lingxiao from the space.

"I was suffocating! I'm finally out!" Hei Xiangling took a deep breath.

Dongfang Yao glanced at her and said, "The spiritual energy outside is murky, what's so good about it?"

"What do you know, you old dragon?"

Hei Xiangling said bluntly, to which Dongfang Yao shrugged, unconvinced.

"I wish Xiaobai were here. I'm starting to miss her."

"I'm going to focus all my time and energy on cultivation during this period. If you're really bored, you can go find Xiaobai."

Ji Jiuying took out the bead and examined it carefully. With Hei Xiangling's strength, she wasn't afraid of being bullied.

"Really? I can really go find Xiaobai?" Hei Xiangling jumped up, then became dejected again, thinking of something: "No, no, if I leave, who will protect you?"

“And they’re here too!” Ji Jiuying pointed to Xiao Huang’er, Dongfang Yao, and the others.

"Okay, okay!"

"Remember, you must not kill indiscriminately," Ji Jiuying reminded him.

"Understood." After saying that, he transformed into a black streak of light and disappeared into Immortal Forest Peak.

Ji Jiuying returned to her room and gathered spiritual energy in her hand, focusing it on the bead.

A barrier made of spiritual energy appeared in front of her, and a dark-skinned man appeared within the barrier.

"Qing Chen".

The man inside the barrier paused for a moment, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes upon hearing the familiar voice. From an angle unseen by Ji Jiuying, it revealed an unspoken tenderness and love: "Xiao Jiu, are you inside Blue Star?"

Ye Qingchen learned of her location through the teleportation bead. If he had left a few days later, he might have run into her.

Ji Jiuying nodded: "By the way, Qingchen, how did you end up in the Heavenly Domain?"

A glint flashed in Ye Qingchen's eyes as he smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Not long after you left, I unexpectedly obtained a divine inheritance, and after absorbing it, I ascended directly."

Ji Jiuying nodded as if she understood, but her divine sense was examining the Heavenly Punishment Manual. Indeed, the divine race's inheritance did not require ascension through the spiritual altar, and her concerns were dispelled.

"By the way, Qingchen, are you in Sifang City now?"

"After arriving in the Heavenly Realm, I couldn't find any news about you. Since your uncle is from the Feng family, I stayed in Sifang City."

Ji Jiuying looked at Ye Qingchen, sighed softly, and was about to say something when he interrupted her: "Little Jiu, did you also go to the Dragon Clan's secret realm a while ago?"

"I'm going." Ji Jiuying nodded. Ye Qingchen's lips curled into a slight smile; he knew it...

"Does Xiao Jiu know about the Azure Dragon Manual?"

"I vaguely know something. What's wrong?" Ji Jiuying recalled that she had heard her second uncle mention this before. It seemed that Feng Yu and Jiang Ling had obtained it, but it was snatched away by Tu Ba of Hell Gate.

"During this period, various forces have been vying for the Azure Dragon Manual. The Heavenly Domain may seem calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents. Little Jiu, you must not step into this murky water."

Ji Jiuying nodded, a hint of doubt creeping into her mind. Qing Chen had only recently ascended, yet he knew quite a lot. Moreover, he had managed to create influence in multiple locations within the Heavenly Domain in such a short time; he was truly extraordinary.

Moreover, from the first moment she saw him, she noticed that he had lost some of his gentleness and gained an air of unfathomable mystery and oppression, an aura she had only ever felt from A Yue.

"I understand. I will also go to Sifang City after the academy's ladder competition ends."

"Alright, then I'll wait for you in the City of Four Directions..."

After the spiritual energy barrier was closed, a middle-aged man appeared behind Ye Qingchen. The man was shrouded in a mysterious aura, an aura that ordinary mortals could not possess.

"My Lord, why don't you go directly to her?"

The man asked respectfully.

Ye Qingchen shook her head. "A Si, you don't understand her."

The middle-aged man named A Si sighed softly, his eyes filled with heartache as he looked at Ye Qingchen.

"My Lord, it seems the Feng family has been focusing all their energy on a man from Kamakura lately. Do you think we should investigate?"

Ah Si asked.

Ye Qingchen nodded: "Pay close attention to the Feng family's movements, especially those concerning Xiao Jiu and Feng Lan."

"yes······"

A-Si looked at Ye Qingchen, hesitating to speak. Ye Qingchen sensed something and asked calmly, "A-Si, is there anything else?"

"My Lord, regarding the restoration of your divine power..."
