Yu Jia was puzzled and said, “The flowers are very fragrant. If we used them to make wine, they will taste very good.”
Feng Tianlan didn’t speak, but found a big tree and sat down with her back to it. She looked at this paradise-like scenery. It was very peaceful. Apart from the breeze, there was also the sound of water flowing not far away. Everything is pleasant to the ears and was very peaceful, so peaceful that it made people want to sleep for a long time.
Want to sleep? A long sleep?
Thinking of this, Feng Tianlan suddenly opened her eyes. They swept across their surroundings coldly. She became even warier of these flowers.
Some time passed and the morning sun was setting in the west. The sky had been orange for most of the day. It made this place look even more beautiful and the floral fragrances seemed to be even more intense.
“Cousin, how long are we going to walk for? Why haven’t we reached the end after walking for so long?” Chen Xinyi’s impatient voice sounded from Feng Tianlan’s left side.
Shi Yiqing was a little tired and said, “I don’t know. After walking around, the scenery seems different, but I don’t seem to see the end. Let’s keep going since we’re already here.”
“There is the sound of a stream, let’s spend the night here and leave tomorrow.”
“Why are you back here again? General, we have to find Shen Lan as soon as possible and get the Divine Sword back.”
Suddenly, there was the sound of a lot of footsteps and people’s voices. When she heard Chen Xinyi’s voice, Feng Tianlan suddenly felt a headache coming on.
“Zheng Ping.” When Yu Jia heard his voice, she raised her eyes and looked over, then waved at him excitedly. She ran forward and said, “Where have you been? We couldn’t find you.”
Seeing her, Zheng Ping was taken aback, then he turned his head and his gaze swept around. He saw Ji You and Feng Tianlan, then hurriedly said to the people beside him, “General, it’s him.”
General Zuo followed Zheng Ping’s gaze and looked at Feng Tianlan. When he saw his appearance, he squinted slightly and said, “Our hard work has finally paid off.”
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at him. He was a tall man wearing a general’s armor. He exuded a strong murderous aura and was a stereotypical general.
“Come here, take him down,” General Zuo sized her up and ordered his people immediately.
Ji You stood next to Feng Tianlan, raising his eyes and looking at General Zuo coldly. He said, “General Zuo, you entered the Earth Soul Pagoda and brought your men and horses with you?”
He thought that General Zuo and the others were just going to the Shang Institution for the capture, but unexpectedly, they had also entered the Earth Soul Pagoda. His Majesty’s intentions were really becoming more and more unfathomable.
“It turned out to be Prime Minister Ji.” General Zuo squinted at Ji You, then he raised his hand to show a decree as he said, “I was ordered by His Majesty to capture Shen Lan. Prime Minister Ji, you had better not prevent me from performing my official duties.”
Ji You glanced at the decree, but he didn’t take it seriously and said, “Master Shen is a friend whom I will protect. If His Majesty blames you, then I will bear the responsibility…”
“Ji You, you are too brazen!” General Zuo roared.
Their skirmish attracted the attention of Shi Yiqing and Chen Xinyi. The two looked over and saw Feng Tianlan’s figure among them. Chen Xinyi ran over and her eyes brightened. She looked at her brightly and said, “Master Shen, I finally found you! Do you know how much I’ve missed you?”
“Who are you?” Yu Jia took Feng Tianlan’s arm and looked at Chen Xinyi defensively.
“You…” When Chen Xinyi saw the two holding hands intimately, her face turned pale in an instant.
