'Beautiful, junior sister is the most beautiful.'
In just nine words, Shushu felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. The smile on her lips grew wider and wider, and anyone with eyes could see her joy.
This sight caused some unease among the elders of the Shu family.
Especially Shuli, who suddenly felt like her own cabbage was about to be eaten by a pig, oh no, it should be said that it was about to be eaten by a phoenix, and couldn't help but say sourly, "You're so happy about that?"
Shushu didn't think much of it. Hearing his father's voice, he casually replied, "Yeah."
Those two simple words almost broke down Shuli's defenses. She couldn't hold back the bitterness in her heart, so she turned around and hugged Shumai next to her, and started to wail without caring about her image.
"Wow~ My newly reunited baby!"
Shushu looked completely bewildered, not understanding what was wrong with her father, but as a good girl, she instinctively went over to comfort him, "Dad, I'm here."
Hearing the carefree tone, Shuli felt that his little one didn't understand his father's heartache at all, which made him even more upset, and he cried even louder.
It was fortunate that Liu Yu had already activated the courtyard's restrictions; otherwise, his loud voice might have startled the people and beasts around him.
Even so, everyone and all the beasts present were speechless. In the end, it was only after Shu Ye Ling Kong gave it a flick on the forehead that it finally quieted down.
Then, having calmed down, it pulled the yam next to the millet and wheat, to sit in its own spot, while it sat down in the spot the yam had been in, next to Lu Li.
After sitting down, it glared at Lu Li angrily, which made Shu Ye's forehead throb. She rolled her eyes at it before finally settling down completely.
Then came the introductions. Since Liu Yu and Lu Ligu Borong had spent some time with the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan, the introductions mainly focused on the other people.
Apart from Uncle Shu being a little awkward, feeling that Lu Li would take his baby away, the atmosphere among the others was quite good.
The Treasure-Hunting Rat Clan was very grateful to the Flowing Moon Sect for their protection and care for Shushu, and the beasts of the Flowing Moon Sect were also happy that Shushu had found a family.
With everyone wanting to be on good terms, the trip was quite pleasant.
Especially Liuying and Shumai, one being Shumai's teacher's wife and the other Shumai's mother, got along so well that they soon became best friends.
The group of treasure-hunting rats waited in the courtyard of the Flowing Moon Sect until sunset before quietly slipping away from the crowd and returning to the courtyard next door.
Of course, Shushu did not go back, but stayed with Liuyue Sect and told everyone about his experience. He also took the opportunity to find out the specific situation of Liuyue Sect in Daxu Boundary.
Almost everyone from the Rainy Continent had arrived, and Shushu couldn't wait to fly back to the Flowing Moon Sect to see everyone.
Their conversation led them to the point that two days before the centennial celebration, they received information from the Feather Clan who were lurking around Lu Zhao, saying that Lu Zhao was preparing to take action against the Grand Elder's lineage.
Without any hesitation, Lu Li told the Grand Elder and the Head of the Family about it, and at the same time changed the plan, took action ahead of schedule, and prepared to cooperate with the Grand Elder and the others to take down Lu Zhao.
Yes, Elder Lu Xian's lineage did not actually betray them at all.
Lu Li confirmed this the moment he returned to the Upper Realm, and at the same time, he contacted the other party.
It wasn't until they met that Lu Li learned that Lu Xian had developed a mental demon because he had misjudged people and harmed the direct descendant, and had been unable to make any progress for many years.
Lu Li sighed, but without thinking too much, he offered some words of advice and gave her a number of rare and precious herbs that were appropriate for her condition.
Perhaps it was seeing Lu Li safe and sound, or perhaps the rare and precious herbs had taken effect, but Lu Xian eventually broke through her inner demons and naturally achieved a breakthrough.
She only secretly returned to the Phoenix Clan after successfully overcoming her tribulation, and then joined forces with Lu Li from within.
It is said that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Lu Xian's branch has been the clan's elder since Lu Li's grandfather's generation, and is specifically responsible for assisting the direct line in handling affairs.
Over the years, Lu Xian had to suppress her inner demons in seclusion, and the phoenixes of her lineage also fell into silence.
Although it seems that Lu Zhao has handed over power to Phoenix, whom he trusts, in reality, many key things and information are still in their hands. This is one of the reasons why Lu Zhao has not had real power for many years.
Furthermore, apart from his own lineage of phoenixes, Lu Zhao did not win the hearts of the other phoenixes. Seven or eight out of ten phoenixes in his clan disliked him.
He was able to rise to power because of the poison provided by the person behind him. He poisoned most of the phoenixes and other winged clan leaders who did not obey him.
In addition, he also kidnapped all the phoenixes and winged creatures, using them to blackmail many phoenixes and winged creatures into working for him.
This kind of submission is forced upon us, so naturally no one will put in their best effort.
If it weren't for his own life and his descendants, Lu Zhao might have been killed by everyone together long ago.
Now that Lu Li has returned, and with the assistance of the Grand Elder, they quickly uncovered everything behind the scenes.
Knowing why everyone was trapped, they immediately devised a solution: first, to develop an antidote; and second, to find the whereabouts of the children.
These two issues might not be resolved quickly if the Feathered Clan were to handle them alone, but Liu Yu is there to help.
As a high-level alchemist, and because of his connection to the Rainy Continent, Liu Yu was well aware of Huai Yu's methods. With the information and materials sent by Lu Yan, he quickly developed the antidote.
