"Don't worry. I'll never betray Lady Mo. Not to mention anything else, it's probably only Lady Mo who can break the curse of this forbidden technique on me," Mu Feiyang said. After he had practiced the forbidden technique before, the time he remained conscious had been constantly shortening.
However, several hours had passed by now, and he hadn't automatically slipped into the state induced by the forbidden technique.
So, if there was really someone who could save him, he believed it must be Feng Yuqin.
"It's good that you have such awareness," Xiaoying said. "Although my mistress hasn't completely lifted the curse on you yet, it's not that she can't. It's just that the time isn't right yet."
"I understand," Mu Feiyang said as he watched Feng Yuqin setting up the formation.
He was even more shocked to see how quickly Feng Yuqin was setting up the formation.
"Is Lady Mo really that good at setting up formations?" Mu Feiyang asked Xiaoying beside him, his eyes wide open.
"Of course," Xiaoying replied proudly. "My mistress can learn anything much faster than others."
Although Xiaojin and Hun Bing couldn't come out, they shared the same thought as Xiaoying at this moment.
The area here was relatively large, so after Feng Yuqin set up one formation, she also set up the ones beside it.
At the same time, she asked Xiaojin to use his spatial domain to isolate the surrounding area from the outside world.
Since Xiaoying was the divine beast guarding the Phoenix Clan, she believed that as long as he revealed a bit of his aura, the people in the Golden Pagoda would surely notice.
Just as Feng Yuqin was setting up the fifth formation, she sent a mental message to Xiaoying, asking, "Do you feel like we're being watched?"
"Mistress, I was just about to tell you," Xiaoying replied. "It just happened a moment ago."
"People from the Golden Pagoda?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"Among those in the vicinity, the only ones with such capabilities are probably the people from the Golden Pagoda," Xiaoying said.
Mu Feiyang didn't know about their mental communication.
He was still in a state of shock. He was already amazed by Feng Yuqin's excellent medical skills, and now he was even more shocked by her proficiency in formations.
In the entire Phoenix Clan, he couldn't find anyone more skilled in formations than Feng Yuqin.
No wonder she could move freely within the Phoenix Clan.
Even though there were many formations in the Phoenix Clan, they didn't pose any obstacle to her.
At this moment, Mu Feiyang had a look of admiration for Feng Yuqin.
"They've discovered us, but they haven't attacked..." Feng Yuqin said as she accelerated the pace of setting up the formation.
The moment the last formation was completed, Feng Yuqin felt the feeling of being watched disappear.
"Xiaoying, it's your turn," Feng Yuqin said as she looked at Xiaoying.
Previously, Xiaoying had changed his appearance and aura for fear of revealing his presence.
Now that Xiaoying revealed his aura, both Feng Yuqin and Xiaoying immediately felt the feeling of being watched return.
Moreover, this time, there was an additional sense of danger.
Feng Yuqin and Xiaoying both looked towards the Golden Pagoda, and then they saw someone flying out of it.
The next moment, the person landed in front of them.
"Elder?" Mu Feiyang was so excited that he immediately knelt down.
Feng Yuqin and Xiaoying both sized up the person in front of them. It was really an old man.
His hair and beard were all white, and his blue robe was clean. One could immediately imagine that even though he was old, he was a refined old man.
The elder didn't pay any attention to Mu Feiyang. The moment he appeared, his eyes fell on Xiaoying, and then his sharp gaze landed on Feng Yuqin.
But the moment he saw Feng Yuqin, he was stunned.
"Miss Feng?" the elder asked, his voice tinged with a hint of doubt.
"Do you know me?" Feng Yuqin was equally puzzled when she saw the elder.
The elder waved his hand, and all the formations around the Golden Pagoda were activated.
"Come with me," the elder said as he turned around and walked towards the Golden Pagoda.
Feng Yuqin also wanted to know what was going on with this elder, so she followed him.
Xiaoying flapped his wings and tapped Mu Feiyang on the back of the head, saying, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow my mistress."
Feng Yuqin followed the elder into the first floor of the Golden Pagoda and found that there was also a formation inside.
The Golden Pagoda didn't look very big from the outside. At most, it was like a small two - bedroom building on wheels.
But after entering, they found that the area inside was probably equivalent to dozens of such small two - bedroom buildings.
"Drop a drop of your blood on this," the elder quickly took out a black stone from a box beside him.
"What is this?" Feng Yuqin asked curiously.
"The blood - testing stone of the Phoenix Clan," the elder replied.
Mu Feiyang beside them spoke up, "Isn't the blood - testing stone gray?"
He had been forced by Nan Mu to take a blood test back then, so he remembered that it wasn't black.
Hearing this, the elder gave Mu Feiyang a disdainful look and said, "That's the lowest - grade blood - testing stone."
Mu Feiyang: "..."
Feng Yuqin knew that the elder wanted to know if she was related to the Phoenix Clan.
So she didn't hesitate to cut her fingertip, and a drop of blood fell on the black stone.
Then the blood slowly spread, and the color of the black stone also gradually changed.
It changed from black at first to dark gray, then gray, and finally to transparent.
The next moment, the transparent stone changed again.
It didn't stop changing until the stone turned golden.
But the elder was holding the stone with trembling hands. "I've finally waited for this day. I've finally waited for this day before I close my eyes..."
Feng Yuqin: "..."
"What has he been waiting for?" Mu Feiyang whispered to Xiaoying beside him.
Xiaoying glanced at the almost crazy elder and replied, "It should be proof that my mistress is of the orthodox bloodline of the Phoenix Clan."
Actually, Xiaoying and Xiaojin were still a bit puzzled.
Logically speaking, the Phoenix Clan in the Wild Dragon Continent wasn't that powerful. It was still a bit inferior compared to the one in the Mysterious Feather Realm.
They were very clear that their mistress's bloodline should be more powerful.
They didn't know what other secrets were hidden in this.
But they believed that entering the Phoenix Clan was the first step for their mistress, and they were sure that they would gradually uncover all the unknown things in the future.
After the elder had laughed enough, he looked at Feng Yuqin and said, "From now on, you'll stay in the Phoenix Clan. The prosperity of the Phoenix Clan depends on you."
Feng Yuqin twitched the corner of her mouth hard. "Don't say that. I can't stay here."
Hearing this, the elder immediately became unhappy. "What do you mean? You're of the bloodline of our Phoenix Clan. If you don't stay here, where else do you want to go?"
"Of course, I'm going home," Feng Yuqin said. "My home is in the Wild City."
"The Wild City? Isn't it a desolate place where people who go there never return? How could your home be there?" the elder frowned and said. "Don't tell me you're deliberately making up an excuse to deceive me."
"What's in it for me if I deceive you?" Feng Yuqin retorted.
The elder thought it made sense.
However, after so many years, he had finally waited for someone with a more orthodox bloodline than Mu Wenbin. How could he let her go?
So he shamelessly said, "I don't care where your home is. From now on, the Phoenix Clan depends on you."
Feng Yuqin: "..." So was she being blackmailed?
She had only planned to oppose Mu Wenbin's family and find out about her own background. She had never planned to stay in the Phoenix Clan for a long time.
Moreover, there were so many people in the Phoenix Clan. She thought it shouldn't be a problem to find an heir, right?
