twenty four
"Fu Chen? What's wrong?" Lu Qun was indeed outgoing, but he was very thirsty, so he reached out to pour water into the cup he was carrying.
The moment the cold tea was poured out, Lu Qun quickly let go and even dropped the cup in his hand.
He patted his chest in fear and said, "This water is not right. Fortunately, I didn't drink it."
Fu Chen ignored him for once and pulled him outside.
Lu Qun also sensed something was wrong at this point: "Did you put the stuff in there?"
The blood of the Phoenix clan is the biggest nemesis of cultivators.
Even if Fu Chen is only a half-bloodline, he should not be underestimated.
From the moment Lu Qun poured the water, Fu Chen knew that he could not hide it from him. Dan Xiu's eyes and nose were very sensitive, and besides, he knew that he was a phoenix.
It's not surprising that he could guess it. As Fu Chen walked out of the room and was about to speak, he heard a voice from above, with a hint of confusion: "What did you put there?"
After the two landed, Fu Chen pulled the person back a step, somewhat reluctantly but still called out: "Uncle Chiyang."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qun beside him hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look up at all. He wished he could be buried in the ground, and his voice became even more different.
He pinched his throat, making it shrill, and kept hiding behind Fu Chen: "Junior greets the Immortal Red Sun."
Lin Yu waved his hand casually, glanced suspiciously, and still kept his eyes on Fu Chen: "Master Brother Fu Chen, what were you talking about just now?"
Su Rong behind her couldn't bear to turn his face away, but he held his forehead with his hand and had no way to stop her. He was a disciple, not a master.
Lu Qun was so frightened that he trembled and almost leaned against Fu Chen, but Fu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said with the same coldness as before: "Uncle Master, you heard wrongly. Let's leave first."
Without waiting for Lin Yu's response, he pulled Lu Qun out the door.
Su Rong finally spoke from behind: "Master, you know Brother Fu Chen's temperament..."
Lu Qun looked at Fu Chen with admiration: "Fu Chen, you didn't say you had such a high status in the Wuwang Sect. If it were me, I would have been beaten to death long ago!"
The admiration in his eyes could not be ignored, it was as if Fu Chen had done something great.
After a moment of silence, Fu Chen said dryly, "Our management of each peak is different from yours."
Lu Qun nodded in agreement. This was indeed the case with the Wuwang Sect. No one knew what had happened. They had been waiting for years for the Wuwang Sect to branch out, but it still hadn’t happened. It was such a pity!
Even if they left first, Lin Yu would still follow with her disciples. She didn't want to communicate with the younger generation, so Su Rong stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Fu Chen, please wait a moment."
Hearing the footsteps behind them, the two people who were about to leave suddenly stopped. It was not because they were obedient, but because of the spiritual pressure from the big boss in the Spirit Transformation Realm, they could not leave even if they wanted to.
After gritting her teeth, Fu Chen pulled Lu Qun forward under the pressure. Lin Yu had to reach out to remove the pressure, but before she could do so, a more domineering spiritual power descended, instantly dispersing her spiritual pressure.
Feeling the familiar spiritual power, Fu Chen finally stopped on his own initiative this time. Lu Qun leaned on him with a pale face.
He was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and he couldn't withstand the spiritual pressure from the two big guys.
Fu Chen had Su Miao's spiritual power in him, so he was not greatly affected.
The immortal in white slowly descended, his windless robe rising up by itself, revealing a stunning face that looked like a god.
"Has the matter of the monster been dealt with?" Su Miao looked at Lin Yu who was running towards him quickly, while Su Rong ran behind him.
He extended his hand to heal Lu Qun's wound, feeling a little embarrassed: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. My master was a little impatient."
After taking a look at the three of them, Su Miao stretched out his hand——
The surrounding scene changed, and it turned out to be her room, with a barrier covering the door.
Seeing the tea poured on the table, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she used her spiritual power to put the things into the storage bag. Then she looked at Lin Yu who was also transferred over.
The latter hunched his shoulders, kept glancing down, and looked guilty: "Senior Sister, you know that the North City incident involves many people. How can we investigate it clearly in such a short time..."
Su Miao was not surprised that nothing was found.
Otherwise, they would not have been asked to investigate. There had been a monster riot in North City, exactly ten years before the Wanshoufang was closed down.
Ten years was not a long time ago for them. The riot came silently and ended suddenly. No one knew what had happened.
They were not making guesses out of thin air. They had discovered some clues about the riot in the Wanshoufang incident, which connected the two things.
After the riot, many monsters became extinct, and even the spiritual energy of the world of immortal cultivation was affected. The most direct impact was that it was difficult for cultivators to advance to a higher level.
Although Su Miao came down the mountain for personal matters, she couldn't stand by and watch when it came to the spiritual world: "Chong Ting is here too. You and Luo Feng go find her together. What should she know?"
Lin Yu was stunned and asked blankly, "Chong, Chong Ting? Chong Ting from the Hehuan Sect?!"
She wasn't sure how many other people were pretending to be listening, but at least Su Miao was talking about her. Thinking of her previous concealment, her expression remained unchanged, as if she was talking about serious matters calmly: "I'll tell you about the pretending to be listening later. There's no need to avoid her on this matter."
Even though she was reluctant, she could only nod. Lin Yu then asked another concerned question: "Senior Sister, are you still going to Qiwu City?"
Qiwu City, where the Phoenix Clan resides, does not welcome outsiders. Furthermore, Qiwu City opens once every century, a period that will soon be approaching. Qiwu Land is the domain of the Fire Phoenix and the core area of Qiwu City.
Su Miao was going to go. She estimated the time: "Let's set off at night. If everything goes well, we can be back in half a month."
After all, it was someone else's territory, so she couldn't stay there for long.
It was said to be half a month, but in fact Su Miao planned to go there and come back on the same day, but Qiwu City would open once every hundred years and would open again after half a month.
Even if she wanted to come back earlier, she couldn't.
Lin Yu also knew this and nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, just leave this matter to me and Senior Brother."
She was worried about leaving the matter to them. These two people had never been at peace for a single day. Fortunately, there was still someone who was relatively reliable.
The water mirror floated in the air, the frame was covered with ice and had delicate patterns on it, while the back was covered in fog.
It originally had two sides, but Su Miao had always used it to convey messages, and this time was no exception.
Seeing the two people in the mirror, Su Miao mainly looked at the woman in front of him: "Bian Ci, please pay attention to the matter in Beicheng."
Ever since she was kicked out of the sect a hundred years ago, only Su Miao treated her the same and always made it easy for her to do things as she pleased.
With a low laugh, Bian Ci pulled the disheveled Shen Luofeng beside him and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will keep an eye on them!"
As she spoke, she turned around and said, "Second Junior Brother, if you lose, you lose."
Lin Yu silently took a step back, feeling lucky that his cultivation was not high. His second senior sister was a fighting maniac. In the vast Wuwang, apart from his senior sister and master, only Chen Luofeng could fight with her.
Su Miao didn't want to lead the group, after all, his master was still there and it was not like he couldn't come back.
But Lu Qun begged to go, perhaps because he knew Su Miao wouldn't do anything to him. He stood beside Fu Chen, making an affirmative gesture, and became very demanding: "Immortal Venerable, I heard from Fu Chen that you are going to Qiwudi. I have never been there before. Can you take me with you?"
It was as if he hadn't said anything. Su Miao was stunned. She hadn't expected him to be so bold.
She looked at Lin Yu, who quickly reacted, "It's best for this young friend to stay here with us. Senior Sister will only be gone for half a month and will be back soon. Besides, Junior-Junior Fu Chen has gone with her. The terrain in Qiwu is complicated, so it's not easy for Senior Sister to bring too many outsiders with her."
She said this perfectly. Su Rong, who was standing beside her, looked up in surprise and met Lin Yu's eyes full of pride. She turned her head away timidly, half of her face flushed.
As for Fu Chen, who was being talked about by everyone, he was held tightly by Lu Qun. Looking at the embarrassed expressions of this group of people, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him and let Lu Qun pull him.
He knew that no one could change the Master's decision, and in the end, she was the only one who had the final say.
So he was neither panicked nor anxious.
Lu Qun was very anxious. Even if he heard that the Immortal Venerable was acquainted with his own master, the people of Wuwang Sect might not tolerate him as a rival.
After all, on ordinary days, when two sects meet, they tend to not disturb each other.
He had walked himself into a trap and had to find a good place for himself. Pulling Fu Chen's sleeve, he winked and said, "What the Immortal Red Sun said is absolutely right. It's just that Brother Fu and I met too late. I really can't bear to leave him!"
As soon as these cheesy words came out, Fu Chen was the first to react. He immediately turned into a small white bird, flapping his wings and flying towards Su Miao. Even after landing on Su Miao's shoulder, he continued to chirp: "Coo! Coo! (Shut up! How can we say we met too late!)"
The revolutionary friendship that had been built with great difficulty collapsed in an instant. Even if he was reported for drugging someone, Fu Chen could not bear this ordeal.
Su Miao changed her mind: "Chiyang, tell Chongting that I have taken her disciple away."
Lin Yu was still in shock. He uttered an "ah" and suddenly looked up. "Ah? Okay. But, with one more person suddenly here, what will Qi Wudi say?"
Before the sect competition, Qiwudi sent people to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss the agreed matters. As the agreed date approached, Qiwudi had to hurry.
Su Miao had no intention of fooling them. The two parties discussed until midnight and decided to choose a day nearby.
This is why Su Miao agreed to come to Beicheng. Fu Chen always kept it in mind, but he didn't know that everything was part of their plan.
The matter of the North City Beast House was brought up by Qiwudi.
Su Miao brushed off the white mass on his shoulder. Lu Qun took Fu Chen with great tact and pulled his good brother aside. "Immortal Venerable, let's go get ready first and we'll be back soon."
Fu Chen was not very willing, but he did not reject Lu Qun's kindness, and followed him away reluctantly.
Looking at the two people leaving, perhaps it is not impossible, Su Miao thought expressionlessly.
She didn't say anything, but Lin Yu understood what she meant. After all, Qiwudi was in the wrong, so what if there were more people?
Lin Yu: "Senior Sister, since everything is fine, let's go to Bailuo Mountain first."
Thinking of the mess at the Beast House, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Su Rong saluted and ran to chase Lin Yu.
The entrance to Qiwudi is near the north city. As the departure time approaches, Fu Chen becomes more and more lazy.
Lu Qunben was buying various gadgets on the side. Even though he was already a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, when he left the mansion, the things he bought the most were various snacks.
Those that need to be kept for a long time can be thrown into the storage bag at will. They must be placed carefully because he also has other magical instruments to store them.
He had just bought a bunch of candied haws and was about to talk to Fu Chen after paying when he saw Fu Chen looking at him gloomily. His hand trembled as he handed the candied haws, which had just been removed from the wrapper, to Fu Chen: "Fu, Brother Fu, do you want some?"
Fu Chen shook his head, still staring at him: "No."
It was getting dark, and there were not many people on the street. Suddenly, a man in red stared at him intently. Even though he was someone he knew, Lu Qun still felt a chill.
After struggling for a long time, he grabbed Fu Chen and brought him to a remote alley. There were a lot of things piled up in the innermost part, and a faint foul smell was coming from it.
Fu Chen's face became even more sour, but he didn't leave: "What?"
