She didn't know if it was her illusion, but almost the moment she finished saying this, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at her.
Obviously, they didn't expect her to say such words. After a moment of confusion, smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously, and it was the kind that they couldn't stop.
Some of them were more lively and couldn't help but wink at Phoenix.
It was as if they were saying: Look, our leader dotes on us, so what if it’s a phoenix? We don’t care about it!
Phoenix naturally took in the situation here, and their faces turned pale.
"Chief, they don't want us to join them, so let's go back and not stay here anymore."
Feng Qingqing looked at her beast mother nervously. Although she felt that the other party did not take them seriously, their goal was to transform the female and the cubs into beasts.
If I just go back like this, it would be a waste of my trip.
However, what shocked them was that the clan leader was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into laughter and said, "Arrogant! This clan leader Chu is truly arrogant!"
"Leave? Why leave? With such a powerful leader, we must join the Xihe tribe."
Feng Qingqing never knew that her beast mother's train of thought was so strange. She opened her mouth and said with some worry, "But we seem to have angered the public. Chief Chu may not be willing to let us join."
"If she says she doesn't want to, then she doesn't want to. We just want to join!"
Feng Qingqing: ...
So domineering, I wonder if Chief Chu will like it.
"Is this okay?"
The Phoenix Clan leader rolled his eyes at her and said, "What's good or bad about it? Wasn't it you who asked us to come here? Are you thinking of going back on your word now?"
Feng Qingqing immediately shook her head. After a moment, fearing she might misunderstand, she explained, "I don't regret it. I'm naturally happy that the Beast Mother is willing to join."
"That's fine, let's set up camp."
The Phoenix tribe leader waved his hand, and the Phoenix tribe members dispersed and reluctantly went to look for materials to build houses.
Since they are willing to stay, their base can only be built in the places where the remaining candidates are selected.
Most of the Phoenix Clan members were unwilling, but they had no choice but to obey what their clan leader decided.
The patriarch has great power in the tribe, which is why so many people are dissatisfied with the decision of the patriarch Feng, but have to accept it.
However, since she, a female, can become the clan leader, she must have some skills.
The news of what happened here soon reached Chu Liangyu. At that time, Chu Liangyu was discussing some things with Xiong Jiaojiao.
After Xiong Jiaojiao was surprised, she asked Chu Liangyu curiously, "What do you think, Sister Liangyu? Are you going to chase them away?"
Chu Liangyu looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
"Oh! I see, Sister Liangyu, you didn't say those words on purpose, did you?"
"No, I really thought so, but I didn't expect that Chief Feng would react like this." Chu Liangyu shook his head and said helplessly.
Xiong Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose, as if she had some idea of what was going on. "Why don't I think it's so strange now, Sister Liangyu? Think about your beastly husband, Feng Qiwu. Sometimes his style of doing things is a bit similar to this."
Chu Liangyu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh at her complaints. He nodded and agreed, "Indeed."
In summary, Chu Liangyu's action was unintentional, but it turned out to be a trivial matter.
But this was just an episode, and the two talked about it briefly before putting it out of their minds.
"By the way, what were you going to tell me about Cheng Zheng?"
Xiong Jiaojiao patted her forehead and suddenly remembered that she had something important to say.
"It's like this, isn't Cheng Zheng the younger brother of Cheng Miao from our tribe? The two of them are at odds because of jealousy."
"We are the same age and have similar strength, but Cheng Zheng didn't become the Elf King because the Holy Tree didn't recognize him."
It was the first time that Chu Liangyu heard that a person's advancement in strength depended on the opinions of others, even though this person was not that person.
"The Holy Tree doesn't approve?"
Xiong Jiaojiao nodded and explained, "That's right. We were born from the Holy Tree. She is also our second mother. When we advance, we will more or less use the power of the Holy Tree."
"If the Holy Tree is unwilling at this time, then there is a 90% chance of failure."
After explaining for a long time, Xiong Jiaojiao still didn't get to the point, so Chu Liangyu couldn't help but say, "What I mean is, why doesn't the Holy Tree recognize him?"
"This is also the main point I want to talk about today." Xiong's face darkened. After a moment, she said, "I suspect his intentions may be tainted. The Holy Tree feels that he will be detrimental to the tribe when he grows up, so it is unwilling to help him advance."
Chu Liangyu quite agreed with this statement. After all, there was the example of poison ivy disguised as Guyuan grass that Cheng Zheng had studied.
They were just one step away from becoming someone else's puppets.
"But the news they sent back said that Cheng Zheng had actually advanced to the Elf King."
Xiong Jiaojiao didn't explain the reason, but asked Chu Liangyu, "Sister Liangyu, do you remember that time when the sacred tree withered, and the elders and I injected energy into it?"
She was using the crystal core to replenish the tree's energy at that time, so how could she not remember this?
However, seeing Xiong Jiaojiao's expression, Chu Liangyu pondered for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that he did something to the sacred tree and that's why he advanced?"
"That's right." Xiong Jiaojiao knew she was smart, and after a brief moment of surprise, she continued, "Recently, the five of us have all felt the aura of the sacred tree gradually weakening."
"Sister Liangyu, the Holy Tree is very important to us, so I think..."
Chu Liangyu knew what she meant, and before she finished speaking, he nodded and said, "You can save him, but you stay and let Cheng Miao go. I will give him the things to save the sacred tree."
In addition to the fact that Xiong Jiaojiao was responsible for physical training, Chu Liangyu was more worried that this was a trap deliberately set by Cheng Zheng.
Any member of the Wood Spirit Clan would notice the abnormality of the changes in the sacred tree, and there is no guarantee that they would not set up this plan.
Chu Liangyu also wanted to use this as a breakthrough point to start dealing with Jiang Li's forces.
Having promised Mr. Yu to speed up the process, naturally, dealing with Jiang Li's affairs had to be put on the agenda.
"I understand, Sister Liangyu. I will tell him later, but it's better to do this sooner rather than later."
Chu Liangyu put all the spirit stones that Lou Sang gave her into the storage bag and handed it to Xiong Jiaojiao: "These should be able to save the sacred tree. Just place them under the sacred tree and she will absorb them."
The storage bag still belonged to the old Beast God. Chu Liangyu couldn't let them carry so many spirit stones one by one in the bag, so he had to lend them the storage bag.
The crystal core can replenish the power of the sacred tree. I think these stones containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth should have the same effect.
