“Say something!” Patriarch Huyan glared at the king. The king said, “What? Right! Jun Linyuan… looks like a nice guy to me…” Before he could finish, the old man rolled his eyes at him.
“Well… he’s not that great. I think he’s just alright… Maybe there’s someone better…”
Before he could finish, the old master glared at him again.
The old man was so fierce that he looked like he was going to eat the king alive. The problem was that he really was capable of doing that. One slap from him, and the entire Northern Yan would collapse.
“Forget it. You won’t understand.” Patriarch Huyan pursed his lips in distaste.
He rose to his feet, put his hands behind his back, and was ready to leave.
However, he stopped after a few steps and glanced at the king.
The king immediately followed him and smiled obsequiously.
Patriarch Huyan snorted. “You won’t find anyone as good-looking or talented as that brat in the previous or next century!”
The king said, “Yes, of course…”
Patriarch Huyan said, “Don’t be jealous. Your daughter isn’t good enough. Don’t even think about it.”
Judging by his tone, he was pleased.
The king felt he had been hit on the most painful spot.
He was sure that the old master must have heard the conversation between him and Raoxi. Raoxi was doomed.
As expected, Patriarch Huyan smirked. “Assassinate my girl? How bold.”
The king didn’t dare to say a word.
Patriarch Huyan said, “No one will touch that kid!”
What a threat…
Both Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan were ready to go back to the Junwu Empire.
When Feng Wu told Patriarch Huyan, the old man was displeased.
Feng Wu tugged at Patriarch Huyan’s sleeve and tried to talk him out of it, but the old man still looked displeased.
Feng WII said. “With your cultivation level if von miss me. von can go to the
Junwu Empire at any moment. It’s as far away as your backyard.”
Patriarch Huyan realized that was indeed the case.
“If that brat picks on you again, just send me a letter.” Patriarch Huyan said to Feng Wu as he cast a stern look at the person who had taken his junior sister.
Feng Wu said, “Yes, of course. No one would dare to pick on me. As for Jun Linyuan… Oh my, Sixth Senior Brother, you make it sound like he’s mine…”
Patriarch Huyan said, “I wish he wasn’t!”
Feng Wu cleared her throat uneasily.
“Fine, fine. Now, off you go. You’re the only one that worries me.” The old man waved at Feng Wu and was about to go back into the house.
“Sixth Senior Brother.” Feng Wu ran up to him and whispered something in his ear.
Patriarch Huyan’s eyes lit up. “Really?!”
Feng Wu said, “Yes. I was going to write you a copy, but I thought you would like Master’s original copy better, so I put it there for you.”
Patriarch Huyan quickly went back to his room, forgetting all about his junior sister.
Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan got into the carriage.
Xuan Yi had transported this carriage all the way here, and it was the one Feng Wu and the others had set out in. It wasn’t as bumpy as other carriages.
Jun Linyuan had yet to recover from his internal injury and needed to recuperate. Hence, this shock-absorbing luxurious carriage was what he needed the most.
Feng Wu had planned to ride a horse and leave Jun Linyuan alone in the carriage.
But Jun Linyuan always had a way to make Feng Wu go into the carriage willingly.
Feng Wu walked in to find Jun Linyuan staring at her curiously. She asked,
“Why are you so curious?”
The crown prince looked down at his book and said proudly, “I’m not.” Feng Wu chuckled.
Jun Linyuan had begun to show curiosity. He looked more and more like a human being than a god.
Leaning against the wall of the carriage, Feng Wu put a cushion behind her back and found the most comfortable position. She then said, “Didn’t I repair the sword for you earlier? That’s why I took my Sixth Senior Brother’s divine iron. But I couldn’t take it for free. I need to give him something in return.
“I remembered a piece of Master’s manual, so I gave it to my Sixth Senior Brother. He missed Master so much that he was almost in tears. This manual was written by Master himself and used to enlighten me. I thought I could give it to my Sixth Senior Brother.”
Jun Linyuan nodded and said proudly, “You don’t have to explain.”
Feng Wu clicked her tongue inwardly.
“Don’t you have to explain? Won’t you keep throwing tantrums?” Feng Wu had found out how petty Jun Linyuan was. He would give her attitude if he didn’t get what he wanted, but he would pretend that he didn’t want to hear it when he was pleased. He was so arrogant! Feng Wu nodded. “I won’t explain to you in the future, then.”
Jun Linyuan didn’t say anything.
Angry, he looked down at his book.
Seeing the frown on his face, Feng Wu couldn’t help but laugh. “Jun Linyuan, are you a little child?”
Jun Linyuan only glared at Feng Wu without saying a word.
Feng Wu laughed even louder. “Jun Linyuan, have I ever told you that you’re adorable?”
Adorable? The crown prince, who had always wanted to be a father figure, glanced at Feng Wu, and his earlobes turned pink.
However, he made some mental notes. First of all, Mu Jiuzhou wasn’t dead. Secondly, Mu Jiuzhou was still active ten years ago. Thirdly, Mu Jiuzhou was very important to Feng Wu.
At the thought of the third point, he looked a little displeased again.
The carriage moved faster than they had expected. It took them half a month to reach the border of the Junwu Empire.
Northern Border City.
Northern Border City was in the north-northwest of the Junwu Empire. From there, the Dongsang Kingdom was 400km away.
Feng Xun’s teasing voice rang out as soon as they set foot in Northern Border City. “Little Feng Wu, how about we take a trip to the Dark Forest?” Dark Forest contained a lot of their memories.
Back then, Feng Wu had tricked Feng Xun and Jun Linyuan and stolen the Immortal Spiritual Fruit by playing the ugly girl in the Dark Forest… Feng Xun still couldn’t get over it.
That was the first time Feng Wu had met them, and it was quite an impression.
Feng Wu chuckled. “A single eagle was enough to give us a hard time. Jun
Linyuan even had a duel with it. By the way, what level was that eagle?”
Feng Xun said, ‘A Spiritual Overlord?”
Feng Wu was surprised. “Jun Linyuan was a Spiritual Overlord two years ago, and he’s a peak Spiritual Saint now? That’s incredible!”
Feng Xun glanced at Feng Wu. “Why are you surprised? You were only a junior Spiritual Overlord when we set out from the imperial capital, but you’re already a peak Spiritual Overlord now. Aren’t you incredible?”
Xuan Yi held his sword between his crossed arms and sighed inwardly.
He had been cultivating in seclusion recently and had made some amazing progress. He had thought… Comparing himself with these people was so cruel.
“Shall we stay here tonight?” Feng Xun suggested. “We’ve been traveling for three days in a row. If I don’t sleep in a solid bed now, I won’t be able to hold on much longer.”
It had been over a year since Feng Wu left Northern Border City, and she was ready to walk around. Her eyes lit up when she heard that suggestion. However, Jun Linyuan was the one calling the shots here, and he had the final say.
Feng Wu turned to look at Jun Linyuan, but he was reclining on a soft chair and seemed to be absorbed in his book.
“Jun Linyuan?” Feng Wu looked eagerly at him.
Jun Linyuan didn’t even look at her.
“Brother Jun?” Feng Wu gave him a pleading look.
“Ahem!”
Feng Xun almost burst into laughter when he heard the conversation from outside. Little Feng Wu was behaving like a kitten that had its paws tucked away.
Feng Wu wanted to smack Feng Xun for ruining the mood.
Jun Linyuan darted a haughty look at Feng Wu. “Do you really want to stay the night?”
Feng Wu said, “Yes!”
Feng Wu had thought that Jun Linyuan would say yes, but he only glanced at her and shook his head.
Shaking his head? That wouldn’t do!
Pursing her lips, Feng Wu looked as pitiful as a puppy and wouldn’t look at anyone.
All of a sudden, a hand tugged at her braid.
“Ssss—” Feng Wu winced at the pain and looked up. However, Jun Linyuan spoke first.
“Off the carriage.” That was all he said. The girl’s eyes lit up. “You said so yourself!” As a matter of fact, Feng Wu knew that Jun Linyuan had been giving the order to hurry back to the Junwu Empire. He had to have a reason.
Seeing Jun Linyuan nod in resignation, Feng Wu rushed out and shouted, “Feng
Xun, go to my old manor and stay there tonight!”
Uncle Lan was the only one guarding the old manor of the Feng clan in Northern Border City. The others had all gone back to the imperial capital with Feng Wu.
Uncle Lan was so surprised to see Feng Wu.
“Uncle Lan, don’t you recognize me?” Feng Wu jumped out of the carriage with a smile and nodded at Uncle Lan.
“Miss Wu! Miss Wu is back!” Uncle Lan’s voice trembled with excitement. “I recognize you! It’s Miss Wu!”
Feng Wu was about to run back to her old house when she heard someone coughing in the carriage.
Gosh! She had almost forgotten about Jun Linyuan…
Feng Wu ran back in a hurry, pressed the button, and a clean pedal extended out of the carriage.
Uncle Lan then saw Miss Wu get into the carriage. Soon, she led a man out.
She carefully helped a teenager out of the carriage and quietly led him into the courtyard.
Wasn’t it improper for men and women to touch each other?
Moreover, why did Miss Wu look like a maid? Uncle Lan was perplexed.
“Wait, isn’t it…’
Uncle Lan cried out in surprise.
That was right. His Royal Highness and Young Lord Feng visited the Feng manor over a year ago, and Uncle Lan was the one guarding the door. That was why he remembered it clearly.
Uncle Lan was a little confused. He remembered that Miss Wu didn’t know the crown prince well back then, but now, she seemed to be very close to him.
Was the Feng clan getting lucky? Uncle Lan was thrilled!
Feng Wu helped Jun Linyuan to his feet and asked, “Are you going to be alright?
Will it affect your injury? Do you need Feng Xun to carry you?” Feng Wu was genuinely worried, for Jun Linyuan’s internal injury was too severe. Anyone else would have been dead by now.
“That’s right, Boss Jun. How about I carry you on my back?” Feng Xun said hastily.
However, Boss Jun only gave him a stern look. His handsome face darkened, and his eyes glinted.
Feng Xun cringed… What did he do? He was only concerned about Boss Jun.
Xuan Yi rolled his eyes at him.
Even Xuan Yi was like that…
Just then, they heard a voice.
“Hey!
“How dare a mere Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle show up in front of me? Get down!”
Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle? What a familiar name!
Feng Wu and the others looked up to find a giant eagle soaring in the sky.
Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle spread out its wings, casting a shadow over the ground.
The person chasing the eagle turned out to be a familiar face as well.
“Yu Mingye? It’s him?” Feng Xun was amazed. “What a coincidence!”
Feng Wu watched in amazement as Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle flew across the sky with Yu Mingye hot on its heels.
Feng Xun reminded her.
“Xiao Wu, that eagle! That Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle! Don’t you remember? It flew up with you in its beak!” Feng Xun tugged at Feng Wu in excitement.
Feng Wu’s face darkened. Why did he bring up such an embarrassing thing?
Feng Xun didn’t know how to read faces. Seeing that Feng Wu wouldn’t talk to him, he raised a hand in Yu Mingye’s direction. “Hey, Yu Mingye, can you do it? You can’t even take down a lousy eagle?”
Yu Mingye and Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle were flying around in the sky above Northern Border City, making everyone tremble in fear.
Many people heard what Feng Xun said.
So did Yu Mingye and Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle.
They both looked in Feng Xun’s direction.
No one knew what Yu Mingye saw, but Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle spotted Feng Wu right away!
Oh god! It was her!
Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle recalled what happened over a year ago when it held the girl in its beak, but the girl got away!
Later, it hid in a corner and realized that the girl was very familiar with the teenager chasing after it. Moreover, the teenager was fawning on the girl!
Hostage!
The eagle had to take Feng Wu hostage!
Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle grinned in satisfaction. The next second, it was already charging at Feng Wu.
wait!
Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle saw a person standing next to Feng Wu. It was… Holy crap. It was none other than the powerful teenager with the black sword!
The eagle was so frightened that it almost turned around and ran, but it soon realized that the teenager with the black sword wasn’t on the same team as the unlucky girl. Back then, when it had threatened the unlucky girl, he didn’t care at all and had even told it to kill her.
So, he wouldn’t do anything about it, would he?
Seeing that the eagle was about to reach Feng Wu, Yu Mingye shouted anxiously, “Xiao Wu, dodge!”
However, to Yu Mingye’s surprise, Feng Wu’s eyes twinkled as she stared at the eagle!
It was never too late to take revenge!
Out of everyone, the eagle just had to pick her.
“Giant Flaming Cloud Eagle, what am I supposed to do to you?”
