Mo Yunlan looked helpless: "Well, there's no record of this in the history of the Six Realms. It only says that the Jianmu tree fell, dividing the Six Realms. The Wutong clan went to the Realm of Longevity, and the Phoenix clan went to the Immortal Realm, and from then on they lived at opposite ends."
Although the two clans have separated, their younger generations still seek out each other's clans for contracts when they reach adulthood; however… they are no longer as powerful as before.
Mo Jinyan opened his mouth, for the Phoenix Clan did have records of this matter.
But before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
"The Third Prince's transformation just now made quite a commotion, so it's normal that it attracted the attention of the Changsheng Clan." Yuebai stood warily at the door. "Should we open the door?"
Feng Qiwu was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Why not open the door? It's just a transformation, it didn't do anything bad."
Mo Yunlan held a longbow in her hand and casually coaxed the child, "They'll be angry because we broke the roof."
As he spoke, he gave Ruoruo a wink.
Ruoruo nodded, supported herself against the water, and stood at the very back, holding a handful of talismans in her hand.
Feng Qiwu didn't realize that Mo Yunlan was trying to fool him, and said angrily, "You are my benefactors and guests of our clan. Father and the others won't be unhappy just because you transformed and damaged the roof."
“Brother Qiwu, actually, from the moment you brought us back, they never trusted us. They kept us under house arrest here to investigate our background and identity,” Ruoruo explained softly.
"We also concealed our identities, saying that Third Brother was a Vermilion Bird, but just now the Vermilion Bird's identity has been exposed as a Phoenix..."
This further exacerbated the already strained trust that had yet to be established.
Mo Jinyan was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know that my transformation would cause such a big commotion. My original body just flew out uncontrollably."
In the records of his clansmen's transformations, there has never been such a commotion.
“Your true form, the Phoenix Spirit, has been suppressed for over three hundred years, and it’s finally complete. It’s normal that you can’t control it.” Mo Yunlan’s hand was already on the bowstring. “Yuebai, open the door when someone knocks.”
Yuebai nodded slightly.
Seeing that Mo Yunlan and Ruoruo were both holding weapons, Feng Qiwu became anxious: "Are you going to fight my people?"
"Brother Qiwu, don't worry. If your people don't make a move, we won't either. We're just doing this as a precaution," Ruoruo comforted her. "If the people who come have ill intentions, we have to withstand the first attack before we can have any negotiations."
Since Mo Jinyan's identity has already been exposed, at worst they can all simply reveal their identities, then stall in the Immortal Realm for a few days to investigate the whereabouts of the divine artifact. Their lives shouldn't be in danger.
However, she might be caught and taken back by her father and the others soon... Ruoruo sighed, feeling that she really had a hard time.
She was clearly trying to save her father, but she could only do it secretly, like a thief.
Soon, the knocking sounded again, followed by a gentle female voice: "Your Highnesses, please do not be nervous. We, the Divine-grade Wutong Wood Clan, have come to establish good relations with the Phoenix Clan. The young prince of the Phoenix Clan has taken human form in our clan's territory, so we naturally have to come and show our concern."
"Mother!" Feng Qiwu jumped up happily, "It's my mother who's here, not a bad person. You can put your weapons away now, I'll go open the door."
Ruoruo looked at Mo Yunlan, whose lips curled slightly. Mo Yunlan nodded gently to Ruoruo and was the first to put away the longbow in his hand.
However, when he put the bow away, he seemed to have unintentionally plucked the bowstring slightly.
Mo Yunlan's greatest skill is illusion.
Feng Qiwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had put away their weapons.
On one side are his benefactors and friends, and on the other side are his family. He really doesn't want a conflict to break out between the two sides.
Feng Qiwu opened the door and rushed into her mother's arms, proudly saying, "Mother, I was the one who helped that phoenix transform just now."
Lady Feng, with gentle eyes, lowered her head and smiled as she gently patted Feng Qiwu's head.
"Wow, Qi Wu's mother is so gentle, why did Qi Wu argue with her and run away from home before?" Ruo Ruo whispered.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the gentle and graceful Lady Feng pinched Feng Qiwu's ear precisely: "Little sapling, you've grown quite the character, daring to keep such a big thing from your parents."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Feng Qiwu covered her ears and begged for mercy, "It hurts, Mom, please be gentle. My friend just said that he wouldn't twist my ears in public."
"I'll deal with you when we get back!" Lady Feng snorted and pushed Feng Qiwu away.
She entered the room with a smile and gentle demeanor, bowing slightly to Ruoruo and the others: "Greetings, Your Highnesses. I was unaware of your identities before, please forgive my rudeness."
Seeing that her mother's expression changed even faster than her own mother's, Ruoruo couldn't help but secretly grab Mo Jinyan's clothes and hide behind him.
For some reason, even though Lady Feng was so gentle, she always felt a little scared.
A golden light flashed in Mo Yunlan's eyes, and the longbow on his back appeared. His illusion had been broken.
This Lady Feng is probably even more powerful than Elder Fengming, Feng Qiwu's father, and has likely already reached the realm of a High God.
Mo Yunlan casually put away his longbow: "Elder, you are too polite. We came to the Changsheng Realm to travel incognito, causing you a lot of trouble."
The opponent was so strong, yet they didn't forcefully expose their weaknesses. If he were to resort to any more petty tricks, it would seem disrespectful.
Ruoruo blushed and shyly put away all the talismans.
Feng Ming followed Feng Niangzi in and bowed to Ruoruo and the others: "Your Highnesses have come to the Realm of Immortality. How can you settle in the small territory of my Wutong Clan? I have already reported this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty has prepared a banquet in the palace to entertain you. Please attend the banquet tonight."
