Chapter 436 There is Another One
"Although I have my doubts, the other party is from the Ancient Temple and is well-known. Moreover, what he said is indeed no small matter for Caesar."
He looked up into the distance, a trace of pain and confusion flashing in his eyes. "At that moment, I didn't know that it would be my last chance to see Luo Qi and Wan Qing."
The picture seemed to be still at this moment, with only Changsun Xiao's eyes filled with endless regret and sorrow remaining.
Luo Li paused, "Are you sure it's someone from the Ancient Temple?"
Her words made the air seem to freeze for a moment, and her gaze was as sharp as a knife, piercing Changsun Xiao's heart.
Chang Sun Xiao took a deep breath, as if to absorb the memories of the past deeply into his lungs. He closed his eyes and recalled the face of that person.
"Yes, although his attire wasn't the iconic golden robe of the Ancient Temple, the jade pendant engraved with the totem of the Ancient Temple proved his identity."
Chang Sun Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a strange light flickering in them. "I once suspected his identity, but after repeated investigations, I found nothing suspicious about his identity. The only suspicious thing is that after Luo Qi left, that person has not appeared on the mainland again."
His thoughts drifted through the air like dust swirled by the wind. He stood before the quaint window, gazing at the falling maple leaves, a sense of inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart.
Changsun Xiao's hands tightly grasped the window frame, and his fingers turned slightly white due to the force.
His heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. The identity and purpose of that person were like a huge mystery that he could not let go. He knew that he had to find the answer, for Luo Qi and for himself.
A trace of thought flashed across Luo Li's eyes. She had asked Du Xuan when she was in the Ancient Temple, but after Ah Ming came to the Ancient Temple, he drove out all the fanatical believers of the gods.
Therefore, people like Du Xuan were not actually highly regarded by the previous palace master back then, so they did not know much about what happened back then.
However, the mysterious man in blue...
She coughed lightly, "I will also investigate this matter, but this is not the reason I'm here, King Caesar."
Chang Sun Xiao's thoughts were pulled away from his memories. He looked at Luo Li with a hint of an elder's smile in his eyes. "Your request is indeed a bit difficult to fulfill."
Luo Li paused and thought, forget it, let’s deal with Qingluan’s problem first, and then talk about Mo Di’s problem.
She smiled and said, "The Blue Luan egg was given to me by a friend. Besides, even though the Blue Luan hasn't hatched yet, it already has intelligence and will choose the master it likes."
Chang Sun Xiao sighed, "Okay, what should I do?"
Only then did Changsun Qingchen dare to interrupt, swallowing the cake in his mouth and asking, "Yes, how do we do it?"
Luo Li walked to Qingluan and touched the eggshell. "Just put your hand on it."
Her hand gently touched the blue phoenix egg, and the eggshell seemed to feel the warmth of her fingertips and trembled slightly.
The surrounding atmosphere became unusually quiet, as if time had frozen at this moment. Changsun Xiao and Changsun Qingchen watched this scene nervously, afraid to miss the sudden hatching of the Blue Luan.
Changsun Xiao walked to Luo Li's side, and at Luo Li's eye signal, he put his hand on her.
He couldn't help but breathe lighter, his eyes fixed on the Blue Luan Egg, not missing a single change.
After a moment, the Blue Luan Egg emitted a faint blue light and gradually became brighter.
Changsun Qingchen, standing by, held his breath involuntarily and whispered, "Does this mean he recognizes his master?"
The light grew brighter and brighter. Changsun Qingchen was stunned and said inexplicably, "Whose good egg only shines halfway?"
That’s right, half of this blue phoenix egg was incredibly bright, while the other half was like a pool of stagnant water, not bright at all.
Changsun Xiao was also stunned. After all, he was an emperor who had sat on the throne for a hundred years, but he had never seen such a scene before.
Even Luo Li felt a little strange...
Suddenly, under the gaze of everyone, the eggshell began to slowly crack, a tiny crack gradually widened, and finally, a small and exquisite blue phoenix poked its head out of the eggshell.
It looked around curiously, and finally fixed its gaze on Changsun Xiao, as if recognizing its future master.
As everyone watched with bated breath, the little blue phoenix that had just hatched from its shell had its feathers gleaming with a faint blue light, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Its eyes were clear and bright, as if it could see into people's hearts. It gently flapped its wings, and with a hint of childishness and curiosity, it flew towards Changsun Xiao.
Changsun Xiao was captivated by the blue phoenix's gaze, as if he saw a reflection of his own childhood, that innocence and fearlessness. He reached out and carefully caught the flying blue phoenix.
The blue phoenix's feathers were soft and warm, gently touching his palm, bringing an indescribable sense of intimacy.
Just as Luo Li and Changsun Xiao were watching this heartwarming scene, another sound came from the eggshell.
Luo Li's eyebrows twitched. Could it be the situation she was thinking?
An inexplicable tension surged in her heart. She stared at the slightly shaking eggshell, as if she could hear the rhythm of life beating inside.
The eggshell trembled slightly again, and tiny cracks gradually spread out, like an exquisite piece of ice crackle porcelain slowly waking up.
Suddenly, the eggshell cracked open, and a beam of green light shot out from the cracks, causing Luo Li and Chang Sun Xiao to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they saw another blue phoenix peeking out from the eggshell, its eyes wide open, curiously observing everything around it.
The blue phoenix's feathers were as smooth as silk, shimmering with a green light, looking both beautiful and eye-catching. Its appearance made the entire space seem to be illuminated, full of vitality and vigor.
But the three people in the box suddenly paused. Changsun Qingchen broke into a voice and said, "There's... there's another one?! It's fake, right?!"
Whose egg is so good? There are two blue phoenixes in one egg!
As the second blue phoenix hatched, the atmosphere in the entire box suddenly became tense.
The little blue phoenix seemed to feel the gazes of the outside world and shrank its head shyly. Then it mustered up its courage and slowly walked out of the eggshell.
It took its first steps, each one cautious yet full of curiosity about the unknown world. Its feathers shone with a charming luster under the light, as if each feather contained the endless power of the wind.
Changsun Qingchen's eyes widened, almost unable to believe what he saw. His fingers tapped uncontrollably on the table, making a rapid rhythm, revealing his inner panic and disbelief.
The two people next to him were also shocked, as if they had seen some incredible miracle.
Little Qingluan thought of something halfway through her walk, and returned the same way, holding the eggshell and starting to eat it with a crunching sound.
