More than a decade has passed, and she has practically raised Feng Luoyan as her younger brother.
Although the child said he didn't want to go back to the demon realm, she knew he still had expectations for his family.
When he was first sent to the Cangmiao Sect, he was too young to understand anything.
When he grew up, he learned that he was a phoenix, the son of the Demon King, and the Demon King's only heir.
Last time she asked him if he wanted to go back to the demon realm, he said no, and even looked disgusted and resistant.
But she knew very well that he was just being awkward.
Xiao Yan might be waiting for the Demon King to find him, or he might be feeling uneasy and not ready yet. In any case, he is not as heartless as Feng Lin!
Feng Lin's expression stiffened. He slowly walked down the steps and stood in front of Yu Yan.
“I believe His Holiness will treat him well.”
The man's gaze was so sincere that Yu Yan was unable to unleash her anger.
The woman suddenly stood up. "In that case, everything about Xiao Yan from now on has nothing to do with the Demon King!"
"Now that I have released Shui Muran, I am leaving."
Before leaving the main hall, Yu Yan stopped and said.
"Okay." Feng Lin nodded, watching her retreating figure.
——
"Master, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
A trace of guilt flashed across Shui Muran's face.
Yu Yan waved her hand, "Be careful when you're out and about."
It wasn't Shui Muran's fault to begin with. He wasn't familiar with the cultivation world, let alone the cruelty of the demon realm.
Yu Yan lowered her eyes slightly; the demon realm was the most brutal place where the strong preyed on the weak.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Yan suddenly asked.
"I sensed something here that could help me recover my cultivation, so I came here."
Shui Muran walked behind Yu Yan and answered honestly.
But before he could find the exact location, he was taken away by the golden-haired demon king.
Fortunately, he eventually got what he wanted.
Yu Yan hummed in agreement, without asking what the item was.
Seeing the joyful look on Shui Muran's face when she came out, one could tell that the operation had gone smoothly.
Even though Yu Yan didn't ask, Shui Muran still came over and explained.
"It's the Spirit Wutong Pool of the Phoenix Clan. The Demon King probably knew that this was what I was looking for, so he allowed me to soak in it for two hours."
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow. The Demon King was really kind-hearted.
"On the condition that I take better care of that bird."
Shui Mu Ran continued.
Yu Yan paused, a complex emotion flashing across her peach blossom eyes.
Zhongyu
The family competition was held in Tianxi City, in the center of the Central Region.
At this moment, Tianxi City is at its most bustling and chaotic time in a century.
They arrived relatively early, and the inn wasn't crowded, but the top-tier private rooms had already been reserved.
Mu Nanyu frowned slightly. He never liked staying in inns, let alone ordinary private rooms with people coming and going.
Su Ruoruo's brow twitched slightly as she glanced at Senior Brother Mu, whose face clearly showed his disdain.
"Senior brother, junior sister is a member of the Su family. Why don't you and junior brother go stay with her at the Su family's residence for the time being?"
The Su family is, after all, one of the top three cultivation families.
Even though the family competition is held only once every hundred years, the Su family still has a mansion in Tianxi City.
It's just a little less impressive than the main base in Suzhou.
Li Ze followed Feng Luoyan's "advice" the whole way. He tried his best to stay away from Junior Sister Su, so as not to be noticed by her, and also had to save Senior Brother Mu.
He was very tired.
Upon hearing that they were going to the Su family's house, he immediately perked up.
Li Ze laughed heartily.
"I can't accept this, senior brother. I think it's better not to trouble junior sister Su. The inn is fine, it's more convenient."
