Shi Yiqing was also curious about Tianfeng Nation and the Lady Phoenix, both of which he had never heard of. Furthermore, as the elder cousin, he had already failed to protect one of them. At the moment, Chen Xinyi was the only cousin he had left, so naturally, he wanted to protect her.
“If my cousin goes, I will go too,” Shi Yiqing said firmly. He also did not believe that Shen Lan was Feng Tianlan and wanted to see what would happen afterward.
Feng Tianlan frowned, looking at them coldly, and spoke without warmth, “You really won’t be my guests when you go to Tianfeng Nation. They just want to use you to threaten me, but to me, you are of no importance. Even if you die, I won’t be moved or threatened.”
“No, since you are persuading me now, it must be because there is a space for me in your heart. I believe in you.” Chen Xinyi raised her eyes and looked at Feng Tianlan with tears. Master Shen was such an affectionate and righteous man; he was definitely not a woman!
Although Shi Yiqing did not say a word, he obviously intended to go to Tianfeng Nation as well.
Upon seeing the two offering themselves up willingly, General Zuo laughed. “Tianfeng Nation will certainly welcome you two.”
What a pair of idiots. But since they wanted to offer up their lives, it would be a waste not to take them. Since Lady Phoenix tried to stop them, they must mean something to her and thus could be used to threaten her.
Feng Tianlan glanced at them lightly. “I have already said these ugly things ahead of time. Whatever happens to you two in Tianfeng Nation, I, Feng Tianlan, will not interfere.”
General Zuo bent his body halfway and made a gesture of invitation. “Lady Phoenix, please.”
At his words, the twenty or thirty guards separated in an orderly manner, and immediately a luxurious carriage driven by Qing Luan slowly came over.
Upon seeing Qing Luan, both Shi Yiqing and Chen Xinyi’s eyes widened. Qing Luan was a celestial bird. How could she become a driver now?
Deng Hu and Weng Yue were also in disbelief. They looked at Feng Tianlan and began to guess her identity.
Qing Luan stuck out her head and rubbed Feng Tianlan’s like a baby. She groaned softly as if complaining. Finally, she was reunited with her master.
Upon seeing Qing Luan’s reaction, General Zuo narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed like this was the real Lady Phoenix, after all—the one his master was looking for. If not, Qing Luan would not behave so intimately toward her.
When Feng Tianlan saw Qing Luan like this, she thought of Xiao Qing and stretched out her hand to stroke her. Amidst Qing Luan’s cheerful chirps, she boarded the soft sedan. The body of the sedan was engraved with a phoenix pattern, and the curtain fabric was embroidered with peony flowers. Yunyi, who existed in a previous lifetime, had loved peony flowers.
All these seemed to suggest that everything was happening because of Yunyi.
Ji You and General Zuo stood guard on one side of the sedan.
Gu Yang looked at Feng Tianlan and watched as the soft sedan disappeared into the distance. The people who surrounded the Earth Soul Pagoda also followed behind. The army troop, which came to escort her, left just like this. Although he had acknowledged his granddaughter early, he had yet to hear her call him her grandfather.
“Leader, is she really Feng Tianlan?” Deng Hu watched in disbelief as the group left in a grand manner.
“Yes.” She was also his granddaughter.
Deng Hu glanced at his broken finger and acknowledged softly. If she were indeed the Lady Phoenix, then it was not so bad to be her follower.
Weng Yue, who was standing by, stared at the team that was leaving. His shady eyes flashed, and he seemed to be formulating some ideas. Lady Phoenix?
This identity seemed very noble. What if…
Weng Yue lowered his eyes and hid all his ambitions in his heart.
After traveling for an hour, Feng Tianlan frowned when she saw another pagoda towering in the clouds.
