Yuebai obediently stepped aside.
The oppressive aura suddenly vanished, and the Grand Elder disciple, who had been secretly gathering his spiritual energy to resist, didn't react in time. He exerted too much force and fell headfirst to the ground.
A piece of floorboards inexplicably bulged out and hit him directly on the head, leaving a bloody hole.
"Senior brother! What's wrong?" The other disciples, who were not under the influence of Yue Bai's aura, had no idea what had happened and went to help the elder disciple in a daze.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I've just been busy lately and feel a bit dizzy." The eldest elder's disciple felt dizzy and lightheaded, clutching his bloodied head. He took a pill and felt uneasy. "You guys go inside and take a walk around. I'll wait for you at the courtyard gate."
He stumbled out, clutching his bleeding head, a hint of resentment rising in his heart towards the Grand Elder.
Honestly, Master insisted that he come to investigate. What's there to investigate in this courtyard? The person across the street is an immortal. If he wants to take action, does he need to hide it?
Ruoruo quietly stepped onto the raised floorboards, and Xiao Kunlun, keeping his mission accomplished, slipped away underneath.
Seeing that the person she disliked had left, Ruoruo didn't make things difficult for the remaining disciples and let them in directly.
The disciples were just doing a task; they casually looked around the room and left.
As she left, she waved and smiled, comforting Ruoruo: "Don't be afraid, little senior. The thunder has stopped now. Cover yourself with a blanket and get some sleep."
Ruoruo's eyes curved into a smile: "Yes, Ruoruo knows."
"So cute!" The disciples left the courtyard in a daze.
After dealing with those people, Ruoruo told Yuebai to go out and guard the door so that no one could get close.
She released the immortal girl who could transform into human form. The girl looked at them in a daze, and Ruoruo took the initiative to hold the girl's hand.
"Don't be afraid, we're here to rescue you. This room is also protected by a soundproof barrier. Tell me, what's your name? How did you end up here?"
She confirmed that the person who had just come to inquire had been sent away by Ruoruo, and that she had just received Ruoruo's pills.
The little girl had probably come to her senses; she suddenly knelt down, hugged Ruoruo's legs, and began to wail loudly.
"Waaaaah, my name is Qiwu, little sister, you are so amazing, thank you for saving me, waaaaah, I will never run away from home again, I miss my dad and mom so much."
Ruoruo had also been locked in a thatched hut and had her blood cut out for alchemy, so she could understand this young lady very well. She took the initiative to hug her and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady, it's okay. Bad guys won't be able to find this place."
"Sister? No, you should call me brother. I'm not a girl." The little girl wiped away her tears and took off her pants. "Look, I have little genitals. My mother said that someone like me is a boy."
Mo Jinyan was so frightened that he breathed fire between them, flew to Ruoruo, and spread his wings to block Ruoruo's eyes: "You little rascal, you better put your pants on, or I'll burn you with one breath and you'll only be the older sister."
"Waaah, I don't want to be a girl! I only became a boy when I transformed, which is why I argued with my parents. My family is full of older brothers. I don't want to be a girl. If I were a girl, no one would play with me!" Little Spirit Grass said righteously as she pulled up her pants.
"Huh?" Ruoruo looked at him in surprise, "To be a boy or a girl? Can you even choose for yourself?"
“The characteristic of the Immortal Clan is that they can choose their gender when transforming.” Mo Jinyan flew to Ruoruo’s head and landed, looking at the little boy with a wary expression. “You still haven’t told me how you were captured?”
The little boy remembered the grievances he had suffered, and said while wiping away his tears, "I ran away from home to go to my aunt's house, but I was kidnapped on the way, and then I don't remember anything. When I woke up again, I was already here."
The little boy sobbed, his speech was broken and disjointed, and his logic was completely incoherent.
While helping Ruoruo fix her hair, Mo Jinyan complained, "Forget it, he doesn't seem to know anything either. Let Yuebai do some research and ask the other members of the clan about the restrictions on the other immortal beings."
The little boy looked at Ruoruo with pleading eyes: "Pretty little sister, can you take me home? My dad and mom want a little sister anyway, so why don't you come home with me and be their little sister?"
Mo Jinyan instantly exploded: "How dare you try to steal my sister from me! I'll burn you alive!"
A burst of Phoenix True Fire swept out, startling Ruoruo.
"Third Brother! No!" Although Mo Jinyan's cultivation level was only at the Xuanxian realm, the Phoenix True Fire was said to be able to burn all things. If he used this fire, the little grass that had just been saved would probably be burned to ashes.
Mo Jinyan was only angry for a moment and did not want to kill him. He hurriedly tried to recall the Phoenix True Fire.
However, to Ruoruo and Mo Jinyan's surprise, the little boy giggled twice and said, "It tickles, stop it."
He wasn't afraid of the Phoenix True Fire at all!
Ruoruo couldn't help but bite her fingertip: "Could it be that he was also hiding his cultivation level?"
Only those with the cultivation level of an Immortal can be immune to the Phoenix True Fire of Mo Jinyan at his current cultivation level.
But if this little boy had been hiding his cultivation level, how could he have suffered such a terrible fate?
Mo Jinyan tilted his head and summoned back his Phoenix True Fire: "You just said your name is Qi Wu, is your surname Qi and your given name Wu?"
"No, my full name is Feng Qiwu, Feng as in phoenix, Qi as in resting, and Wu as in parasol tree." The little boy suddenly straightened his back proudly. "Don't even mention your little fire, even the real fire of the phoenix can't burn me."
Mo Jinyan chirped twice, looking utterly hopeless: "Did you just recently transform? I've never heard of you before?"
"I've been in human form for seven days! And I'm a divine-grade phoenix tree that can be a roosting place for phoenixes!" the little boy declared confidently. "Sooner or later, I'll grow into a towering tree like the Jianmu tree, becoming the most powerful tree in the world, giving all the phoenixes a home, and then no one will dare to bully me anymore. Pretty sister, come with me."
Ruoruo understood as well: Feng Qiwu was clearly a member of Mo Jinyan's clan!
Mo Jinyan's birth mother was a princess of the Phoenix Clan, and his birth father was an elder of the Immortal Realm whose prototype was a divine-grade phoenix tree.
Ruoruo secretly sent a voice transmission to Mo Jinyan: [Third Brother, why does this young man seem a bit silly? He's clearly a phoenix tree, yet he can't even recognize you as a phoenix.]
"It's better to be a little naive. You should agree to go back with him first. You can't enter the Realm of Immortality without a token. We might even need him to guide us to the Realm of Immortality to find the divine artifact."
After the brother and sister secretly discussed it, Ruoruo smiled brightly at Feng Qiwu: "Brother Qiwu, I still have things to do. You should return to your original form and cultivate first. After I finish my business, I will definitely send you back to the Realm of Immortality."
