36
Hearing this, the two Phoenix brothers understood what was going on. Feng Yi, in particular, felt guilty and annoyed. "Sorry, I forgot the fire in Qiwu City was special. How did you withstand it those days?"
Lu Qun chuckled, revealing a row of white teeth: "When I feel uncomfortable, I eat candied haws. However, I didn't bring much with me, so I ate all the leftovers. That's why I went to steal."
He bought two piles of candied haws in the North City and wanted to give one to Fu Chen, but Fu Chen thought it was sour and refused to take it. He smiled and took back the large pile of candied haws that he had given him tentatively.
These few words made Feng Yi feel guilty, and even Fu An, who was holding Lu Qun, felt uneasy.
After all, it was he who stole Lu Qun's things and mocked him.
Su Miao nodded, mercilessly: "So if you can't bear it, why do you want to return it to me?"
She was genuinely baffled. It was clearly beneficial to her, and she didn't find it troublesome. A single spell wouldn't require much effort.
Lu Qun looked up, his eyes gleaming. He scratched his head and said, "Master said I was ignorant and shouldn't have come to Qiwu City. But she prepared defensive magical instruments for me, so there's no need to trouble the Immortal Venerable."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, the three of them all thought, "So you know." Even though Su Miao had heard the jokes he made before, it was still not as shocking as seeing it in person.
But she rarely showed any expression, which made the two people beside her, who were already feeling extremely guilty, feel even more guilty, especially Fu An.
The Phoenix Clan's rules prohibit bullying the weak, but any incident that happened in the past few days is enough to make him go to the Discipline Hall.
Fu Chen should be waking up soon. Su Miao had no intention of continuing to argue with them about these useless topics. "Just keep it. This is how I brought you here." He then looked at the two brothers of the Phoenix Clan and asked, "After the coming-of-age ceremony, do you want to go see her?"
Fu An was very excited and was about to nod when Feng Yi stopped him: "Will it have any impact?"
Su Miao looked at the little white phoenix that had already stood up and was about to fly towards her, but it crashed into the barrier with a bang. Her already round eyes widened in disbelief, and she chuckled softly.
The coldness on her body dissipated, and she smiled like a flower: "It won't have any impact, you can go back."
After getting a positive answer, the two brothers came back to their senses. They didn't dare to look at Su Miao. They half lowered their heads and pulled Lu Qun, who was standing there in a daze and at a loss, towards the door.
Halfway through the journey, Lu Qun realized, "I want to return it to the Immortal Venerable."
Feng Yi said first: "You should accept it, otherwise with your small body, if something happens to you, it will be too late to save you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qun retracted his hand and placed the talisman paper safely in his arms. Fu An snorted disdainfully and said nothing else.
Looking at the barrier in front of him, with the familiar spiritual power flowing on it, Fu Chen was stunned for a moment, tilting his head, in a daze.
He reacted quickly, flew up and kept hitting the barrier, even using his original form to hit it hard, not feeling the pain.
Non-stop, his round eyes were filled with sadness and anger.
Master, you actually locked him up!
It's just a coming-of-age ceremony, so what if he ruined it?!
Fu Chen angrily turned into a human form and wanted to continue to crash, but unexpectedly the barrier was removed and he fell down from the top of the tree.
A gentle spiritual power caught him and carried him to Su Miao.
He was still angry: "Why set up the barrier? I'm hurt!!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, his palm was crimson, and part of his forearm was also a little red.
Spiritual power caressed the wound, and it healed in an instant. Su Miao raised her eyes and said, "When did you become so delicate? You didn't even cry out in pain when you went out with them a few days ago."
Even though he knew he was a phoenix, Fu Chen rarely used his original form. Therefore, when he hit the barrier, he subconsciously used his hands, that is, his wings, to hit it.
The injury wasn't serious, just a little red. These past few days, he'd been running around Qiwu City with Lu Qun and the other two, so venturing into the volcano was no big deal.
He made himself so embarrassed that no matter how tired he was, he would still make a fuss in the yard at night.
Fu Chen casually said, "Then didn't the master set up a barrier to protect his disciples? It's just a coming-of-age ceremony, what's the big deal!"
After saying this, he leaned forward and poured a cup of tea. The tea had a clear aroma, with the delicate fragrance of snow lotus and the sweet aroma of bamboo rice. Silently sipping, Fu Chen's annoyance was finally suppressed. "Master, when are we going to suppress the criminals?"
Su Miao told him the purpose of coming to Qiwu City early on.
Su Miao: "No rush, let's go after the coming-of-age ceremony is over."
She observed Fu Chen. If nothing unexpected happened, the young man in front of her was the phoenix egg she took away that year. He had grown up so much.
Suddenly, many emotions arose in Su Miao's mind, but he did not show it on his face, and his expression remained stern.
Fu Chen said impatiently: "Disciple will not go! I will go to Qiwudi alone to get the phoenix eggshell."
He wanted to see who the hell it was! These past few days, he hadn't been fooling around with Lu Qun and the others, but was mainly trying to find out how many people there were in the Phoenix Clan and who might be the one to seduce his master!
"No, you have to go." Su Miao glanced at him calmly and said, "After the coming-of-age ceremony is over, we'll go to Qiwudi."
On the mountain is Qiwu City, and at the foot of the mountain is Qiwu Land, the underground of Qiwu Mountain.
No matter how reluctant Fu Chen was, he was still taken by Su Miao to the ancestral hall for his coming-of-age ceremony.
Perhaps because of the presence of a special person this time, there weren't many people in the ancestral hall. Those who attended were all registered Fire Phoenixes. The Fire Phoenix lineage was gradually declining, and only a few core members remained.
It didn't look very lively, and could even be described as deserted. But everyone present was smiling. When they saw Fu Chen follow in, they were stunned for a moment, and then smiled even more happily.
Taking all of this in, Fu Chen followed behind and sneered silently. No wonder he couldn't even defend a broken sword!
Fu Yi came forward with several elders and said, "Immortal Lord, according to the rules, we must kneel and worship our ancestors. Look at this..."
Fu Chen was still sulking, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.
This old guy asked the master to kneel down and worship their ancestors?
Why!
Before he could finish his words, Su Miao nodded and said, "Please, Chief, I want to talk to him." He turned and looked at Fu Chen, "Don't throw away the things I gave you."
She was obviously overthinking this. No matter what she gave him, Fu Chen would not throw it away casually.
A certain bird, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, wanted to refuse directly, but noticed that the people standing nearby were looking at them, so he said sullenly, "I know."
Then he took a step back. Fu Yi and several elders were confused and looked puzzled.
Fu Chen: "...Master, please go ahead. I will be waiting for you here. Don't worry about me. I can handle it on my own."
Fu Yi's face was awkward, and he whispered a few words to the elders behind him. The elders nodded slightly, though a little unhappy, but they didn't say much, and turned to walk away.
Su Miao: “…”
She wanted to kick the traitor out, but remembering that today was Fu Chen's good day, she held back.
She didn't know where she learned it from, but when she glanced at Lu Qun and the other two, she knew the answer.
The little phoenix had been well-behaved for a hundred years, but after just hanging out with these three people for two or three days, he actually learned all these.
Lu Qun was still waving, but Su Miao pretended not to notice. But Fu An had already run over, his eyes bright and full of youthful vigor: "Father, the Immortal Lord. It's almost time. I'll take him over right away."
Su Miao didn't want to let Fu Chen go, but he resisted the urge to do so.
With a push of his hand, Fu Chen staggered towards Fu An. Hearing the sound, Fu An turned back in horror and tried frantically to catch Fu Chen.
Just as he was about to catch Fu Chen, a burst of spiritual power steadied Fu Chen's figure. Fu An, still unperturbed by the situation, withdrew his hand, his expression nervous but also open: "A Man... Fu Chen, let's go."
Fu Chen: "What are you doing? Isn't today your coming-of-age ceremony? Do you still want to go out and play?"
There was a hint of condemnation in his eyes, and a touch of pride.
He is not like Fu An, who just plays all day long.
Fu An couldn't understand what was going on. He stepped forward and grabbed him, "Don't go out to play. The coming-of-age ceremony is a very important matter." With a hint of covering his mouth and making amends, he complained, "It was Lu Qun who insisted on going! It wasn't me. I prefer to practice."
Practice?
He had never seen Fu An talk about cultivation!
Fu Chen exclaimed, and seeing Fu An's evasive eyes, he didn't say much.
"Nonsense! It's obviously you!" Lu Qun roared.
Feng Yi walked in front and bowed to everyone before speaking: "Fu Chen, today is your and your brother's coming-of-age ceremony."
He had a smile on his face, and was gentle and polite. This was the young priest of the Phoenix Clan. Even though he was young, others did not dare to look down on him.
My coming-of-age ceremony? Fu Chen opened his mouth and turned to look at Su Miao beside him, but before he could say anything, he heard his master order Lu Qun and the other two: "Take him there."
Logically speaking, Lu Qun is not a member of the Feng tribe, so he cannot go with them.
But his master Chong Ting is Qing Feng, which is at least a second-tier phoenix.
In addition to Su Miao's request, Fu Yi and others could only turn a blind eye.
But they absolutely could not agree to let Su Miao go with them. The lessons of the past were still fresh in their minds, and they could not let such a big devil in!
Seeing Fu Chen glaring at him, Lu Qun touched his nose and smiled apologetically, "Brother Fu, I'm not hiding this from you on purpose...it's really...it's fate that can't be defied. Let me tell you, you're on the family tree, but there are only a few people on it! No, there are a few phoenixes!"
Fu Chen: "Shut up!" How could he not know Lu Qun's temper? This was clearly the order of his master.
But... Fu Chen looked at Su Miao quietly: "Is this what Master meant?"
He never cared about the identity of the Phoenix Clan.
After all, what people outside said was right. He had a strange temper and would sooner or later become a demon that brought disaster to the world.
They were not wrong, the Phoenix Fire would burn everything.
Fu Yi stroked his gray hair. Actually, he was not old. He was considered a young and middle-aged man in the Phoenix clan.
But his face looked haggard, as if he had experienced a lot of pain, leaving indelible marks on him.
He reminded Feng Yi with a serious face: "Don't let the news get out from the Great Elder!"
Feng Yi knew the seriousness of the matter. The Great Elder had been determined to kill Fu Chen. He nodded, his face solemn, "Don't worry, father. I will be extremely careful about what happens today."
Fu An followed up, "Don't worry, Dad. No matter who comes to today's coming-of-age ceremony, it won't work. After all, we have the Immortal Lord here!"
Fu Yi was so angry that his beard flew and his chest shook. He almost collapsed in a breath. "Go away! Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. I won't restrict you, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense either."
Unexpectedly, Fu An ran to Fu Chen and leaned against him affectionately: "Speaking of which, between you and me, is the older brother? I already have a younger brother, why don't you be the older brother?"
Fu Chen was still waiting for an answer. Hearing this, he responded casually, "Either is fine." Then he looked straight at Su Miao.
Su Miao: "Yes, the Phoenix Clan and the Wuwang Sect are forming an alliance, and you are the best choice."
