"Yan'er, you've really gotten yourself into a big mess this time."
Zhao Shuning looked back.
She stared at her nominal grandfather.
This old man who looked rather young. She seemed to have provoked Gu Hanxun just to save him. Even if she took a step back, she was his own granddaughter after all. But now, he seemed to be watching a show.
It was as if all these things had nothing to do with him.
"Ningning, I know you're angry with me. Come back. In the future, I'll make it up to you slowly. How about that?"
Zhao Shuning was furious.
How about that? What's so good about it!
"Gu Hanxun, I've said before that I have someone I like, and it's not you."
The smile on Gu Hanxun's face was rather forced.
"No matter who it is, I'll surely treat you better than him."
Zhao Shuning was speechless.
She looked at Gu Hanxun.
"I won't argue with you about this. You're a very dangerous person. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. If you don't let us go, then I'll have to fight you. It just so happens that in the months we've known each other, I've never seen your real strength."
As Zhao Shuning said this,
She made a gesture as if she was about to fight.
Ye Feng shook his head.
His granddaughter had inherited his temper to the core.
When he was young, he also used to fight at the slightest provocation.
"Yan'er, let's go."
Countless black lines appeared on Zhao Shuning's forehead.
"Grandpa, can we really leave?"
"Sure we can. Above the water gate, it's my territory. A mere iron chain can't stop me."
Zhao Shuning was speechless.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" It had wasted so much of her time, and she'd even had a verbal argument with Gu Hanxun.
Zhao Shuning had thought that they had to fight hard to break free.
"You didn't ask either."
Zhao Shuning almost lost control.
With the way he had reacted earlier and said that he only had about three - levels of his cultivation base left, any ordinary person would have thought they couldn't escape!
"Don't mutter against me. I'm at least a ninth - rank alchemist. I can see through what you're thinking at a glance."
Zhao Shuning rolled her eyes.
"Then why don't we leave?"
"I left some time for you two young lovers to say goodbye."
"Grandpa! Who's a young lover with him? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The man is interested, but the woman is not."
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
Although Ye Feng was joking with Zhao Shuning, his hands didn't stop. He secretly started to form seals.
At this moment,
Gu Hanxun dismounted from his horse.
"Master."
Ye Feng naturally ignored Gu Hanxun.
But Gu Hanxun suddenly knelt on the deck.
This kneel startled all the iron cavalry behind him. Even Zhao Shuning and Ye Feng looked utterly shocked.
Ye Feng said in a low voice, "What is this rebellious disciple kneeling to us for!"
Gu Hanxun said, "Master, please give Ningning back to me. How about it? Just consider this as the last request from your student."
"Give back?"
Ye Feng sneered.
"Gu Hanxun, only things that belong to you can use the word 'give back'."
"Yan'er, would you like to stay?"
"No, no. Hurry up and leave. I never want to come to Cangwu Country again."
Zhao Shuning mumbled.
Then she urged Ye Feng to leave quickly.
Ye Feng didn't hesitate and immediately started to form seals.
Gu Hanxun stood up. His hands began to condense spiritual power. In the next moment, a lion made of spiritual power appeared in front of everyone.
"Grandpa, are you done?"
"Just a moment more. You hold them off first."
In the end, they still had to fight.
Zhao Shuning clasped her hands together, formed a spell seal in her hands, and combined it with her spiritual power. She roared, "Come out!"
At this moment,
A spectacular scene began to appear behind Zhao Shuning.
It was an extremely gorgeous and beautiful giant bird.
A huge figure emerged behind her. A fiery - red bird soared behind Zhao Shuning.
A huge flame shot up into the sky, and a resounding phoenix cry erupted. The gorgeous fiery - red tail feathers dragged on the ground for a long time. Its almost perfect figure demonstrated the majesty of the king of birds.
Once the phoenix appeared,
All birds bowed to the phoenix.
The cry of the phoenix resounded across the entire sea.
The whole place fell silent.
Not a sound could be heard.
Even Ye Feng, who was used to big scenes,
At this moment, he was half - raising his head, looking at the scene in the sky in disbelief.
Powerful spiritual power was nothing strange, but this contracted divine beast that had appeared. Could it be the divine phoenix that was said to be extinct in the legend?
Gu Hanxun's lion seemed much weaker in front of Zhao Shuning's phoenix soul.
However, this was still the boundary of Cangwu Country. Zhao Shuning had been injured before, so she couldn't fully exert her spiritual power now.
"Phoenix."
"It's actually a phoenix?"
"This is not a guhuoniao, nor a zhongmingniao. This is a phoenix!"
Everyone was greatly shocked.
Gu Hanxun stared at Zhao Shuning intently.
"Do we really have to come to this?"
Zhao Shuning said, "Gu Hanxun, be a decent person. When you say this, it sounds like I'm forcing you to fight against me. You can just let us go. I've already said that we have nothing to do with each other. If I want to leave, you can't stop me."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
What? She had even summoned her phoenix soul!
Why did Gu Hanxun still look so fearless?
"Gu Hanxun, think it through. If you try to keep me today and we end up both getting badly hurt, then the remaining forces of the Qin family will surely take the opportunity to rise up and cause chaos. By then, all your hard - work and planning over the years will be in vain."
A look of hesitation flashed across Gu Hanxun's face.
The territory of Cangwu Country.
The people of Cangwu Country.
These powers he had obtained were the result of his long - term planning. He definitely couldn't just ignore them because of this.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers behind him who had fought with him.
"Grandpa, are you done?"
"Yes."
After forming the last seal,
Just as Gu Hanxun was in a daze, a thick fog suddenly rose on the sea.
Then, when Gu Hanxun rushed over, through the fog, the figure of the small boat had already disappeared.
Zhao Shuning let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, they had almost been in big trouble.
"Yan'er, your contracted divine beast is a phoenix? Then what were you afraid of just now?"
Afraid? Of course she was afraid.
When she had sensed the phoenix just now,
She had found that the current physical form of the phoenix was just a chick. Such a divine beast would surely be extraordinary when it grew up, but it was so small. How much power could she borrow from it?
"What? Were all those just an act?"
"Grandpa, you're so old. Why are you so disrespectful and keep stabbing your own family with your words?"
Ye Feng burst into laughter.
His granddaughter was a bit furious when her secret was exposed.
