2276 That Year
After a short silence, she said, “Of course.”
There was no ordinary contract between her and Tuan Zi to begin with. Now that she said that she would cancel it, it was just to save face.
Can Yu Qian really discern something?
“Then, what’s with the aura in her body?” Yu Qian’s gaze was filled with scrutiny as he stared intently at Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue’s glabella moved slightly.
!!Just as she was about to ask, Tuan Zi asked in a crisp voice, “Hey, is that what you’re talking about?”
Yu Qian turned around and saw Tuan Zi pointing at the fading totem on her glabella.
“That’s right,” Yu Qian replied affirmatively, his eyes still filled with suspicion. “If the contract between the two of you has really been broken, why is there still this aura? This is clearly a special power that the red-gold heavenly phoenix will only have after contracting with the human race!”
Although ordinary red-gold heavenly phoenix clansmen had inherited a certain amount of bloodline power, they wouldn’t have such an aura. However, Tuan Zi had it now!
Hearing this answer, Chu Liuyue and Tuan Zi quickly looked at each other and exchanged glances. What he said is very interesting. Since it’s a contract between the red-gold heavenly phoenix and the human race that produces this aura, how does he know? Seeing how confident he is, he must’ve seen it before. Then, there is only one explanation: The ancestor of the red-gold heavenly phoenix, Yi Ling, had a contract with Fantasy Divine Hall’s Divine Master! Hence, he has started to suspect Tuan Zi now.
After understanding this, Chu Liuyue looked at Tuan Zi and blinked.
Tuan Zi’s heart lit up, and she immediately took out a reddish-gold feather. “I think it should be because of the Ancestral Golden Feather, right?”
Seeing Tuan Zi take out the Ancestral Golden Feather, shock quickly flashed across Yu Qian’s face. “How did you get this?”
“Of course, it’s because I’m the young mistress!” Tuan Zi rolled her eyes and carefully put away the Ancestral Golden Feather. “If it’s not with me, can it be with you?”
She hated Yu Qian to the core, so she was very rude. However, Yu Qian didn’t have time to care about this.
He frowned skeptically and looked at Tuan Zi. The aura I felt just now is indeed the same as the aura on the Ancestral Golden Feather. Could it be… that I was really wrong?
After all, Tuan Zi has the purest bloodline, so it’s reasonable for her to get this Ancestral Golden Feather. Back then, I had asked Yi Zhao for it, but I hadn’t been able to get it. So it was with Tuan Zi.
Tuan Zi’s big eyes and nose were still red. She sniffled and continued accusing him. “You’ve already separated me from A’Yue. What other contract can I have?!”
Her words were still filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Yu Qian gradually dispelled the doubts in his heart, and his expression softened. “It’s best if you don’t have it. You have a pure bloodline, and that contract will only prevent you from breaking through.”
Then, he raised his chin. “Let’s go back to Phoenix Mountain. After that, you’ll spend most of your time here.”
Tuan Zi looked at Chu Liuyue. “I want A’Yue to go with me!”
With that, he tapped his toes and led the way toward Phoenix Mountain.
Tuan Zi turned around and ran over with her smooth little feet, hugging Chu Liuyue’s leg. “A’Yue, accompany me!”
“Okay.” Chu Liuyue bent over and picked her up. In any case, I will have to come many times in the future. I will first take a look at the situation on Phoenix Mountain and think of some ideas.
Tuan Zi hugged her and nestled in her arms with a reluctant expression.
Chu Liuyue patted her back and rushed toward Yu Qian.
Soon, Chu Liuyue understood why Yu Qian said that.
There was an extremely powerful pressure on Phoenix Mountain. She only got a little closer, but she felt as if something was pressing against her chest.
She felt stuffy and slowed down.
A transparent heat wave swept over from the mountain.
Beads of sweat quickly oozed out of Chu Liuyue’s forehead, and her back was quickly drenched in sweat before quickly evaporating.
Yu Qian turned around and sneered when he saw her reaction.
The fire on Phoenix Mountain back then directly burned the entire back mountain. Even after so many years, every inch of land and rock here still had traces of the past.
Back then, Yi Ling’s nine meridians had been fully opened, and he was peerlessly powerful. Even though he had died many years ago, his legacy of destruction was still there.
Even he didn’t come often, not to mention a legendary warrior like Chu Liuyue.
…
About 15 minutes later, Yu Qian arrived at the top of Phoenix Mountain. He stood with his hands behind his back and waited for another 15 minutes before Chu Liuyue and Tuan Zi finally arrived.
The moment her feet landed on the mountain, Chu Liuyue’s glabella twitched, and she almost immediately summoned her Holy Body!
A layer of beautiful soft armor quickly covered her entire body. With the obstruction of the Holy Body, the burning pain was finally reduced greatly.
“A’Yue, are you alright?” Tuan Zi asked worriedly.
Chu Liuyue shook her head. “It’s fine.”
As she was worried that she would reveal something in front of Yu Qian, she no longer borrowed any of Tuan Zi’s strength. That was why it was especially difficult for her to come here.
But as long as she could hide it from Yu Qian, it was worth it.
Tuan Zi jumped down from her arms.
She was barefooted, and her white feet stepped on the charred and hot mountain rock. Not only did she not look in pain, but she even widened her eyes slightly and tugged at the corner of Chu Liuyue’s clothes as she muttered, “A’Yue, this place is so comfortable!”
Chu Liuyue felt relieved. As long as Tuan Zi is fine.
Yu Qian laughed.
“Back then, the Divine Master specially found the stones on this back mountain for Yi Ling. Not only can it nourish its body, but it can also increase its cultivation speed. Naturally, it’s not something others can compare to. If it were an ordinary red-gold heavenly phoenix, it would actually not be able to withstand it when it comes here. However, Tuan Zi has a pure bloodline, so there’s no problem.”
This was why he had to choose this place to meet Chu Liuyue. Phoenix Mountain… was originally prepared for Tuan Zi.
Hearing his words, Tuan Zi pouted. “No matter how good a place is, it’s already burned down. What’s there to care about?”
She still liked to be with A’Yue.
Yi Zhao knew that she was extremely dependent on Chu Liuyue and wouldn’t be able to change for a while, so he didn’t pay much attention to her.
Anyway, Chu Liuyue couldn’t come often in the future. As time passed, the relationship between her and Tuan Zi would naturally fade.
“Tuan Zi, just cultivate here in the future.” Yu Qian’s lips curled up. “With your talent, it won’t be long before you can open the seventh meridian. In the future, opening the ninth meridian won’t be a problem.”
