Chapter 343: Tool Man
The cultivator who had spoken earlier spoke again. He first made a sound of "tsk" before slowly saying, "This is Brother Yue's opportunity. Are you planning to snatch it away, Young Sect Master?"
Xu Qianjia's face darkened, and before he could say anything, Tao Zi said coldly, "Young Master Xu, if you want an opportunity, go and find it yourself. This Phoenix will not look down on those who are afraid of death."
A disciple of the Minglan Sect retorted, "Fellow Daoist Tao, you are wrong. Just now, the Young Sect Master was planning to go down to the abyss to save you."
"Ah, that was my misunderstanding." Tao Zi forced a smile on her face, which was unrecognizable. "Master Yue, take your opportunity and let's go."
"Master Yue, it's not that I covet it, but I'm afraid you alone can't raise this phoenix." Xu Qianjia smiled gently, "It's best to leave it to the three sects and four schools to raise it, so as to avoid any problems."
The elder of Minglan Sect also nodded in agreement and said, "The rebirth of the Phoenix is no small matter. It is best to let the three sects and four schools discuss it before making a decision."
Many people gathered around, and their eyes couldn't help but glance at the little fox in Yue Qingya's arms. A small number of people began to doubt Ming Lanzong's intentions based on previous events, but the vast majority of people still agreed with Ming Lanzong's approach.
Yue Qingya touched the little phoenix's head and asked gently, "Little Phoenix, are you willing to let someone else raise you?"
The little phoenix understood what was said and immediately became angry. It turned around and spit out fire at the monks, with disgust on its face.
Tao Zi smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it doesn't seem to like the Minglan Sect. Master Yue, why don't we go to the Tiandao Sect first? The little phoenix should like it."
It looked at Tao Zi resentfully, but didn't dare to spit fire.
Xu Qianjia's face looked unhappy. At this moment, a deep voice came over: "The Phoenix is reborn?"
Although the tone was doubtful, the volume was affirmative.
Everyone looked up, and even Xu Qianjia's expression changed. He said respectfully, "I didn't know the Sword Sect's leader was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
The Sword Sect leader stood in mid-air, responded simply, and waved his hand, and the little phoenix fell into his hand.
Tao Zi's eyes darkened and she looked at Yue Qingya.
The little phoenix sensed the power of the person who came, but the pride in its blood prevented it from bowing its head, and it actually breathed fire again.
The Sword Sect leader laughed heartily and said, "It is indeed a phoenix. Yes, God bless our continent!"
As soon as he let go, the little phoenix returned to Yue Qingya's arms.
Tao Zi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qianjia stepped forward and asked, "Master Wang, what do you mean?"
He looked down at him with an indifferent expression: "This is Yue Qingya's opportunity. The little phoenix chose him."
He disagreed and said under the vague pressure: "Master Wang, the phoenix is not an ordinary monster. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yue Qingya, a mere True Lord, to raise him."
Sect Master Wang remained silent, but an elder standing beside him said, "Young Sect Master Xu is overthinking. The little phoenix is naturally intelligent and knows exactly who to trust. Since it has chosen to stay with Master Yue, it's difficult for us to stop it."
The void shattered, and a cultivator stepped out. His gaze fell directly on the little phoenix, and he said with a smile, "I am the fifth elder of the Tiandao Sect. I have the Sect Master's wish to convey that the little phoenix be raised by Yue Zhenjun. Our sect leaders will visit from time to time."
Xu Qianjia looked unhappy, but he could no longer object.
Tao Zi silently turned her head and looked at Yue Qingya: When did your connections become so terrible?
He looked back at her blankly, obviously not knowing what was going on.
At this time, the Fifth Elder spoke again: "The Sect Master observed the stars at night and predicted the rebirth of the phoenix five days ago. According to the astrological signs, the phoenix's caretaker must be a True Lord. True Lord Yue, I hand the phoenix over to you. I hope you will nurture it wholeheartedly."
Yue Qingya said respectfully: "Qingya will definitely do his best."
Tao Zi looked at Yue Qingya silently. It seemed that she was just a tool.
After hearing these remarks, Xu Qianjia had nothing to say.
After the Fifth Elder and the Sword Sect Master left, Tao Zi sighed deeply and said to the puzzled gazes of others, "Let's go back to the sect to recuperate."
A laughing voice suddenly appeared beside her ear: "Fellow Daoist Tao, don't you want your reward?"
Tao Zi then remembered what happened before and looked towards Cun Xuyuan.
A phantom appeared in Cunxuyuan. Everyone could not see his face clearly, but could only hear his words: "Tao Zi of Yisanmen, fearless of life and death, killed the alien race to protect the Phoenix. Cunxuyuan has nothing else but two ancient books as a reward."
Two ancient books appeared at Tao Zi's hand. She reached out to take them, and finally felt a little comforted. The phantom disappeared.
Many people looked at it with envy, but no one went over to ask.
The group returned to the sect. During the trip, they didn't know how many guys they got rid of who were following them, but they couldn't get rid of the elder of Minglan Sect who was following them to protect them. Fortunately, Xu Qianjia didn't catch up, otherwise it would be really annoying.
With the help of the spirit ship, they returned to the vicinity of the sect within a day. When Han Yueshan saw them return, before she could even smile, she saw Tao Zi's miserable state and the appearance of the little fox. She was stunned and said, "Senior Sister, what happened to you? And where did you bring this ugly hairless fox?"
Tao Zi suppressed the furious little fox, and considering the elder beside her, she said, "We met by chance during training and formed a bond."
Only then did he react.
The elder looked at the handsome Yue Qingya and couldn't help but look at Tao Zi with sympathy.
Yue Qingya smiled and said, "Elder, just send her here. We still need to discuss other matters here."
This is a clear sign of driving people away.
The elder didn't care and said with a smile: "If Fenghuang needs anything, he can come to Minglan Sect at any time."
"Thank you, Elder."
As soon as he left, a group of people gathered around the little phoenix and screamed, "Is this a phoenix? Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
Tao Zi brought the exhausted little fox into the house, put it outside, and went into the inner room to clean it.
Fortunately, those people still remembered that there was a seriously injured senior sister, so they invited the Thousand Needle Doctor to come over.
The Thousand Needle Doctor glanced at the little fox and said, "Why do I feel that your demon pet is more seriously injured?"
The little fox said gloomily, "I've been devastated both physically and mentally."
Cousin Jiao'er, who had received the news, poked her head in and burst out laughing when she saw its appearance.
It immediately became angry: "Laugh, laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at? Go look at that little phoenix, it's much prettier than you, and it's still laughing!"
Jiao'er's laughter stopped immediately and she retorted, "That's just a fox cub. How can it be as pretty as a fox of my age? Don't talk nonsense if you have no taste."
The two started arguing again. Amidst the noise of their quarrel, the Thousand Needle Doctor examined the injuries, used a medicinal pill, and warned, "No more violence for a while."
Tao Zi nodded in agreement.
