2411 Meet

Miao Zhen said that he wanted to find me for some matter, and Shu Jing actually came as well. How is it so coincidental that everything happened at the same time? Then, who should I listen to first?

Shu Jing glanced at Miao Zhen and lightly said, “Second Deity, it’s about the medicinal mountain.”

Yu Qian’s heart skipped a beat.

Miao Zhen’s gaze shifted back and forth between the duo, and he laughed. “It seems like the Second Deity is very busy. Then, I’ll make it short. I want to make a trip to the Phoenix Mountain. Second Deity, I hope you’ll approve of it.”

Yu Qian’s expression turned cold slightly, and he chose to reject him without hesitation. “Clan Leader Miao Zhen, I’m afraid this isn’t very appropriate.”

“Oh?” Miao Zhen did not seem surprised by his answer, and his expression did not change. “Second Deity, you don’t have to think too much about it. I’m going over to pay my respects to my ancestors. I have no other intentions.”

Yu Qian’s eyes shrunk, and his gaze was as sharp and cold as a knife as he stared at Miao Zhen!

Miao Zhen smiled, but there was no smiling intent in his eyes.

“My ancestors have passed on for 10,000 years, but they can’t rest in peace. As their descendant, I feel extremely terrible. Even though it’s for Fantasy Divine Hall and the Divine Master, and it is only rightful… I still want to pay my respects to my ancestors. That isn’t too much, right?”

Even though he was smiling, his expression couldn’t be considered gentle, and it was even vaguely sharp.

Yu Qian stared at him for some time before he raised his hand and threw out a pendant. “Clan Leader Miao Zhen, I’ve been very courteous toward you because of Miao Yu. I hope you know what you should do and should not do.”

Miao Zhen held the jade pendant in his hand and scrutinized it. Then, he smiled and said, “Of course.”

Then, he slightly nodded toward Shu Jing. “I’ve said all that I wanted to say. I won’t disturb the deities further.”

Then, he left without hesitation, and his figure quickly disappeared before the duo.

Shu Jing knitted her brows. “Second Deity, Miao Zhen is the great phoenix dragon clan leader. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to let him go to Phoenix Mountain just like that, right? What if he—”

“He wouldn’t dare.” Yu Qian’s tone was certain.

He did not seem to want to dwell on this, so he directly changed the topic. “You mentioned the medicinal mountain just now. What exactly happened?”

Shu Jing took a deep breath in and briefly recounted whatever happened previously.

Seeing that Yu Qian’s expression became increasingly terrible, Shu Jing’s voice also became increasingly softer.

She was guilty, but she also knew that she had no solution now. If she relied on herself, she would never solve the medicinal mountain’s problem!

“I know that I’m useless and let down your instructions, but… The Heaven Gate is about to close, and there’s not much time left. I’m afraid that something will go wrong if this continues. Hence… I had to ask you for help.”

“I’m willing to bear any punishments. I just hope you and First Deity can reconsider and not wait until the situation becomes unsalvageable before you handle it. At that point, it would be chaos.”

Yu Qian was indeed furious at Shu Jing, but her words did make sense.

The matter was serious. They could be angry, but they could not sit aside and not care.

Yu Qian kept quiet for a long while before he coldly said, “You didn’t find the First Deity for this matter?”

Shu Jing looked hesitant. “I’ve already begged the First Deity many times, but he wasn’t even willing to see me, let alone talk about this.”

Helpless, she could only turn to Yu Qian for help.

Yu Qian suddenly laughed, and one couldn’t hear his emotions. “If you can’t solve it, you should leave it to the First Deity to handle it. I’m just the Second Deity. There are many matters that I can’t intervene in.”

Shu Jing was rather confused. During the years when the First Deity was in seclusion, wasn’t everything in Fantasy Divine Palace under the Second Deity’s control? Now, he has suddenly started to push the responsibility? What kind of situation is this?

It wasn’t Shu Jing’s first day of knowing Yu Qian. She knew very clearly that Yu Qian was happy to help solve such matters, but his current attitude…

Could it be because the First Deity previously punished him to kneel outside his door for three days?

She muttered, “But First Deity refuses to help. If even you… It’ll really be big trouble then. What should we do?”

The consequences were not something she could handle alone.

“Second Deity, why don’t… you personally ask First Deity for help?”

Only Yu Qian had the right to do so.

But upon hearing this, Yu Qian’s expression turned even more grave.

He did not want to be left out in the cold by First Deity! However, he had to solve the problem…

After much thinking, he finally said, “You will follow me there.”

…

The leaves piled up in the quiet yard.

A fit white figure suddenly flew over—it was Xue Xue.

It landed agilely and looked left and right before it let out a low roar at a certain area.

Roar!

No response.

Xue Xue was dazed as confusion flashed across its icy blue eyes.

Roar!

It called again, but nobody acknowledged it. What’s going on? When I came previously, Hong Yao would come out and play with me.

Xue Xue jumped down, arrived at the pile of leaves, and pulled them with its paw.

The leaves flew everywhere.

Hong Yao hid inside and looked depressed.

Xue Xue tilted its head and raised its paw to push it.

Hong Yao gave a ferocious gaze. Annoying! Don’t disturb me!

Xue Xue was chased away for some reason and was filled with confusion.

It instinctively looked inside the house. You’re angry with your master. Why did you throw your temper at me?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock!

“Hong Yao! I’m here to find you!” Tuan Zi’s soft and crisp voice sounded.

Hong Yao instantly rolled up and pushed Xue Xue’s forehead with its feathers.

Xue Xue couldn’t be bothered to hold things against it as it anxiously turned around and was panicking. Where! Where? I have to find a place to hide!
