"You can talk?" Mingfu was immediately taken aback.
The Fiery Phoenix replied in a very unfriendly manner, "I am a phoenix, what's so strange about me being able to speak?"
“But you never spoke to me before.” Mingfu had taken care of Chiyi Yanfeng for so long, and she knew that Chiyi Yanfeng didn’t think much of her.
But people always have some fantasies: a powerful spirit beast like the Blazing Phoenix can not only breathe fire, but also be reborn from the flames.
Who wouldn't want that?
She's already three hundred years old, and she hasn't formed a contract with any other spirit beasts yet, all because she wants to reserve her position for the Fiery Phoenix.
"You foolish mortals, what is there for me to say to you! Get out of my way, or I'll burn you all to death."
The Blazing Phoenix was like a grumpy little dog.
Fang Ruotang was also surprised. She pinched the mouth of the Blazing Phoenix and said in an annoyed tone, "Who told you to talk like that? It's rude."
While they were talking, she had already quickly watched the life of the Blazing Phoenix after it hatched through the Retrospective Mirror.
Although the entire Beast Taming Sect treats the Blazing Phoenix well in order to form a pact with it, their kindness is genuine.
Those disciples who tried to use underhanded methods to force the Blazing Phoenix to submit were all severely punished. In short, the Blazing Phoenix lived quite comfortably in the Beast Taming Sect, just like a grandpa.
[Master, they are all bad people. They all want to form a pact with me so I can protect them from calamities. I won't fall for it.]
【You want to form a pact with me? Aren't you afraid I'll make you block my way?】
[Fine, I'll stop you then. You have a scent I like, and I trust my instincts; I want to stay with you.]
Fang Ruotang remained silent. She had long accepted that the little mirror was someone of great importance, but the little mirror refused to reveal its true identity.
Each time, I would stammer and tell her I'd talk about it later.
[Tsk, this flat-feathered one has good taste.] Little Mirror said with a mixture of dissatisfaction and jealousy.
Even when scolded for being flat-feathered, the Fiery Phoenix didn't retaliate. It quietly and obediently nestled in Fang Ruotang's arms, showing no sign that the irritable older brother from before had instantly transformed into a well-behaved little sister.
“This… The Blazing Flame Phoenix has already formed a pact with me. If I leave it here now, it definitely won’t agree. How about you come with me to the Heavenly One Sect? You can continue to take care of the Blazing Flame Phoenix in the future, as my way of repaying you on behalf of the Blazing Flame Phoenix?”
Fang Ruotang hesitated for a moment. Although the Blazing Flame Phoenix was not her spirit beast before, it had really eaten too many good things from the Beast Taming Sect.
She just took the Blazing Phoenix away like that; the Beast Taming Sect definitely won't agree to that.
"Sect Master Fang, are you joking? You took our Blazing Phoenix for nothing, and now you want my daughter to be your maid?"
As soon as Sect Master Ming finished speaking, Qi Yu's voice rang in his mind.
"Stop being foolish. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance. A divine beast that always acts all high and mighty is suddenly acting like a lackey, begging for a contract and even signing a master-servant contract, just to cling to the other party. You should realize that she has an extraordinary background. Don't ruin your daughter's good opportunity."
Qi Yu meant well.
That's the main point; otherwise, this matter would be difficult to resolve.
However, he had not expected that the Blazing Phoenix would have such a personality, nor had he expected that the sect leader would have such great charm.
He was too embarrassed to say that he didn't actually think Fang Ruotang was just there for fun to win the favor of the Blazing Phoenix.
Master Ming paused, his face turning bright red.
He's not stupid.
Naturally, it was clear that the Blazing Phoenix was begging to be taken away.
It was so arrogant in the sect that even when it wanted to eat, people had to beg it repeatedly before it would lower its noble head.
It's nothing like it is now; it's worse than those mindless watchdogs in mortal cities.
So even though he couldn't see Fang Ruotang's strengths, he felt that she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Sect Master, you mustn't!" an elder stepped forward to stop him.
Fang Ruotang looked at him, secretly flipped through the Time Reversal Mirror, and pouted, saying, "It's no use for you to keep the Blazing Phoenix; it doesn't even look at you."
"And you're utterly shameless! You coveted the Blazing Phoenix, so you encouraged your disciple to steal it for you. Now your disciple is locked up in the Beast Cave, taking the punishment for you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
The Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts sounds like a bad place.
While that's a bit of an exaggeration—it's impossible for there to be 10,000 kinds of beasts—they are all untamed beasts that eat people.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The elder of the Beast Taming Sect frowned, but his face showed no sign of guilt whatsoever.
"Tsk!"
Fang Ruotang didn't say a word.
She took out the recording stone and thought it was really useful.
No amount of talk can compare to providing evidence.
The photo stone plays in the air.
The records detail how the elders manipulated their disciples to arouse greed, how they followed them, and how they planned to ambush them from behind.
Unfortunately, the Blazing Phoenix has a fiery temper.
All plans fell through. His disciple was caught red-handed, and the elders feared he might reveal something that would make others suspect he was the mastermind.
He acted swiftly and ruthlessly, throwing the man directly into the Beast Cave as a warning to others.
It had some effect, but he himself did not give up.
However, not only was the Blazing Phoenix hot-tempered, but it was also highly vigilant, and over the years it had managed to prevent this elder from succeeding.
"Junior brother, you..."
The sect leader looked at the elder with a mixture of anger and rage.
At this point, the elder disregarded all pretense of propriety and simply laid it all out: "That's right. Ask anyone in the sect who doesn't want to form a pact with the Blazing Phoenix. Is it only because your daughter is noble that she can get close to the Blazing Phoenix? But over the years, we haven't seen her manage to subdue the Blazing Phoenix. Instead, others have taken the credit."
Master Ming had some selfish motives, but he wasn't particularly domineering.
“Every year when choosing a spirit beast, all disciples have a chance. I haven’t cut off anyone else’s path. Besides, someone has to deliver spirit food and fruits to the Blazing Flame Phoenix. If it’s not my daughter, it would be someone else. Since someone is destined to get close to the Blazing Flame Phoenix, why can’t it be my daughter?”
As the sect leader, is it not even allowed for him to seek this small benefit for his daughter?
It's not like he forbids anyone else from getting close to the Blazing Phoenix just because his daughter didn't win her favor. Everyone has a chance, it's just that his daughter has a slightly better chance.
Seeing that their own disciples were arguing, Fang Ruotang carried the Blazing Phoenix to Mingfu and said, "Come with me to Tianyi Sect! This Blazing Phoenix has already formed a contract with me, so I can't give it up. When the opportunity comes in the future, I'll catch you a spirit beast that you like, how about that?"
“Master, why are you being so polite with her? They begged to take me in, not the other way around.”
"Shut up!"
Fang Ruotang tapped the Fiery Phoenix on the head.
Seeing it flaunt so many good things every day, she felt sorry for the Beast Taming Sect. The resources to raise one Blazing Phoenix were enough to raise thousands of ordinary spirit beasts.
If the other party had ulterior motives and treated the Blazing Flame Phoenix badly, she could simply take it. But in reality, the Beast Taming Sect treated the Blazing Flame Phoenix extremely well, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her an ancestor. Under these circumstances, she felt somewhat embarrassed to ask for something for nothing.
