Chapter 789 The Eve of the Competition
Chapter 789 The Eve of the Competition
Lin Zhao coughed when she heard this and couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "What little boyfriend? Senior, please don't talk nonsense. I was fine before, but now I have a family."
Although Su Bai had clearly stated his attitude towards Qu Shu, in Lin Zhao's opinion, Su Bai's words were really incoherent.
"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious?" Zuo Yuan shrugged. "Your Majesty's Taoist companion will probably be here soon. When the time comes, your Taoist companion will naturally give you a better explanation."
Lin Zhao: “?” What better explanation does Su Bai need to give herself?
After expressing that he was increasingly unable to understand what Senior Zuo Yuan was saying, Lin Zhao took over the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror, and left the Blue Fuzzy Secret Realm with them.
When Lin Zhao handed the furnace and Qiankun Mirror to Qu Shu and Tianhuang clan leader, Qu Shu was fine, after all, he also participated in the development of this thing, but Tianhuang clan leader was very upset. She walked around the furnace and said, "Is this the thing that can transform back the origin and power taken away by the evil thoughts from the other world? This thing can restore our lost origin for us?"
Lin Zhao nodded. "But it is still necessary to have a strong physical fitness and a proper state of mind. So if you want to benefit from this furnace, you have to abide by the rules. As for the rules..."
Lin Zhao looked at Qu Shu and said, "Qu Shu, let us make the decision."
These things were totally beyond her expertise, but according to Lin Yi, who was helping her with Dragon Phoenix Empire affairs these days, Qu Shu was an expert in this area.
At the same time, Lin Yi also expressed that it was very unreasonable that he, who was given the title of King Xiaoyao of Xiaoyao Land, had now become the regent of the entire Dragon Phoenix Empire.
If Ning Wengui had not suddenly arrived with Lin Zhao's daughter, Lin Mu would have successfully diverted the attention of the two elders of the Lin family, relieving his pressure to get married. Ning Wengui also took over some things as the emperor's husband, and Lin Yi felt that he could be busy to death.
So while he was replying to Lin Zhao, he also asked, "When can we bring back our brother-in-law Qu Shu who is good at government affairs? Then the Dragon Phoenix Empire will be completely stable."
When Lin Zhao thought of this, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
What happened with Ning Wengui was already an accident, I hope there won’t be any more accidents with Qu Shu.
Qu Shu took Lin Zhao's gaze and nodded. "The general rule is to distribute according to work, and to obtain the qualification to practice near the furnace according to contribution points. Of course, the opening of the furnace is beneficial to the cultivation of the entire Tianhuang clan mansion, and even..."
Even without Qu Shu saying the rest, Lin Zhao could understand and said immediately: "I will set up a formation so that people around cannot feel the effect of the furnace, or seal the effect of the furnace near the Tianhuang clan's residence."
The reason why the furnace was distributed in the lower world was because it was the only countermeasure in the lower world. The situation in the upper world was completely different. If this thing was handed over or people noticed its effect, it would be fatal.
The frown on the Tianhuang clan leader's face slowly relaxed, and for the first time he looked at Qu Shu without any disgust.
"Thank you for your hard work these days, not these years."
Qu Shu closed his eyes slightly, and replied calmly: "These are what I should do. The clan leader's words are too serious."
However, his mind was churning with thoughts about his mother's past. How much did this clan leader know?
If he knew everything and was aware that his father was just a tool used by his mother to fight against the clan's rules, and yet he still imprisoned his father for so many years, then the clan leader's behavior was more or less intended to vent his anger.
After living in the Tianhuang clan for these years, he has gotten to know the clan leader to some extent. He is not someone who is incapable of doing such a thing.
Most of the time, the Tianhuang clan leader is a very rational person, but when it comes to matters concerning the Tianhuang clan's background, he will put aside all his prejudices and want the Tianhuang clan to develop at all costs.
This is why Qu Shu guessed that the other party was venting his anger but still had a calm expression. At least such a clan leader was not a treacherous and evil person. She had followed the rules of the Tianhuang clan all her life. Even she herself gave birth to seven Tianfengs before giving up the idea of giving birth to a Tianhuang herself.
If a person can be strict with herself, others will more or less let go of their prejudices towards her.
But Qu Shu still found it a little funny. At the beginning, the clan leader...he often felt that his birth was a failure of his mother.
When the Tianhuang clan leader saw that his words did not cause much emotional fluctuation in Qu Shu, he moved his lips and finally shook his head. He did not intend to explain his actions over the years.
At the beginning, she actually vaguely guessed why Huang Zhao eloped with a fairy beast.
Huang Zhao has been gifted since childhood and has been placed with high hopes by the entire Tianhuang clan. As a result, the Tianhuang clan kept adding more expectations to Huang Zhao, imposing their own expectations and the rules of the Tianhuang clan.
Under such heavy pressure, Huang Zhao himself rebelled.
She disdained to resist those small rules and focused on the clan rule that a Tianhuang could only give birth to a pure-blooded Tianhuang with a Tianfeng.
Elope, find fairy beast
Feelings and the like are just excuses. The ultimate goal is to show that even if he does not abide by the old rules of the Tianhuang clan, he can still lead the Tianhuang clan to rise.
She once reflected on whether she had done something wrong because of Huang Zhao's fierce resistance, but later Huang Zhao's death gave her a negative answer.
She took back Huang Zhao's only child, a Phoenix.
Even though his biological father was just a crane, the purity of this child Tianfeng's bloodline reached a terrifying level.
This inevitably makes people wonder, if the one who married Huang Zhao was a Celestial Phoenix, would the one born this time be a stronger Celestial Phoenix from the Celestial Phoenix clan?
With these complicated thoughts and her disappointment in Huang Zhao, she finally decided to imprison the fairy beast.
This was not to vent her anger, but because Huang Zhao had many suitors. After Huang Zhao's death, this fairy beast obviously did not have the ability to protect itself from being injured by its enemies. So she sent him to the island of the ancient dragon clan in the name of imprisonment but actually to protect him.
Only the territory of the Ancient Dragon Clan can make those with ulterior motives fearful and dare not invade.
However, there was no need to mention these considerations to a younger generation who had been deliberately despised and ignored by them for so many years.
The clan leader said, "Then you will decide the details, and we old guys will be responsible for the execution."
Qu Shu nodded and asked Lin Zhao, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Zhao said: "Ancient battlefield. I heard that there are several evil thoughts from other worlds at the level of Immortal King in the Northern Territory."
Hearing Lin Zhao's words, the clan leader's face changed: "The combat power of the evil thoughts from other worlds is generally higher than that of cultivators of the same level. You have killed one before, which is enough. If you go again, I am afraid you will not be able to return in time before the big competition."
Lin Zhao chuckled, "Patriarch, you're overthinking. I don't have the guts to look for them right now, but I've signed a contract with the Red Rat. I plan to try my luck in the ancient battlefield where there are Immortal King-level evil thoughts from other worlds. Who knows, maybe I can pick up something and hunt down a few evil thoughts from other worlds."
