Chapter 1140 - 1140 The Missing Man surnamed Ji

1140 The Missing Man surnamed Ji

“Sigh.” Prime Master Chengwen sighed and said, “Yu Huang, you’re right. Our Patriarch does have ulterior motives for wanting to see you.”

As expected.

Yu Huang’s expression became cold as she said, “No matter what his intentions are, I won’t give in.” Why should she obediently do whatever they wanted?

What did they take her for?

Even if she just wanted to take a taxi, didn’t she have to make an appointment in advance?

Sheng Xiao and the others saw that Prime Master Chengwen was talking to Yu Huang, so they walked towards the stage quickly.

Sheng Xiao stood under the high platform as he looked up at Prime Master Chengwen. Sheng Xiao was clearly standing below, but he gave off a sense of oppression as he asked, “Prime Master Chengwen, may I ask what it is that you can’t say in public and only want to tell me lover in private?”

Prime Master Chengwen was stunned by Sheng Xiao’s words.

Lover…

They were married?

Without waiting for Prime Master Chengwen to explain, Yu Huang told Sheng Xiao, “Prime Master Chengwen wants to bring me to see their Patriarch. He said that he has something to talk about.” She continued, “But Prime Master Chengwen refused to say what exactly it is.”

Sheng Xiao’s gaze turned cold as he asked Prime Master Chengwen, “Sir, my lover is weak, pet.i.te, and timid, so she’s very afraid of meeting unfamiliar men. I’ve been married to her for many years, so I’m the person who knows her the best in the world. If you need to ask my lover anything, you can ask me directly.”

He stared straight at Prime Master Chengwen as he emphasized, “I will definitely tell you everything I know!”

Prime Master Chengwen glanced at Yu Huang. He couldn’t tell that she was ‘weak, pet.i.te, and timid’.

This was the first time he had seen a ‘weak woman’ who could break two Beast Testing Stones in a row.

Sheng Xiao suddenly reached out his right hand to Yu Huang. “Let’s go.”

Yu Huang extended her hand.

Seeing that Yu Huang was really planning to follow Sheng Xiao, Prime Master Chengwen shouted anxiously, “Yu Huang, please wait!”

Yu Huang didn’t stop.

Prime Master Chengwen hurriedly caught up with Yu Huang’s figure. As he chased, he said, “Among the descendants of the Vermillion Bird Clan, a very small number of them still have the bloodline of the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan in their bodies. If a child in the clan can awaken the Divine Feather Phoenix Beast Form, then the Vermillion Bird Clan has a chance of rising up again and becoming the strongest clan in the Central Continent!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Huang still didn’t stop in her tracks.

Prime Master Chengwen continued, “We waited for more than ten thousand years and finally awaited a clansman who had successfully awakened the Divine Feather Phoenix a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, that child was plotted against by other factions and his whereabouts are still unknown.”

Yu Huang suddenly stopped in her tracks.

A person who awakened the Divine Feather Phoenix beast form had been plotted against and was missing…

Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao, who was also looking at her.

Clearly, both of them thought of the same person.

Could there really be such a coincidence?

When Prime Master Chengwen saw that Yu Huang was finally willing to stop, he was overjoyed.

Prime Master Chengwen grabbed Yu Huang’s arm and said anxiously, “I heard that the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan can sense each other’s existence through the power of their bloodline. Just now, we found out that your beast form is actually the extinct Divine Feather Phoenix, so our Patriarch wants to borrow a drop of blood from you to see if that child is still alive.”

“If he’s alive, we have to find him no matter what! If… if he’s dead, we have to let that child return to his hometown and be buried in peace!”

Yu Huang suddenly turned around and asked Prime Master Chengwen a question, “May I know your surname?”

Prime Master Chengwen was stunned.

Although he didn’t understand Yu Huang’s intention for asking this question, Prime Master Chengwen still replied honestly, “My surname is Ji. My name is Ji Chengwen.”

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao exchanged looks when they heard the surname ‘Ji’.

This time, Sheng Xiao turned around before Yu Huang could speak.

He removed Prime Master Chengwen’s hand from Yu Huang’s hand first, then said to Prime Master Chengwen in a low voice, “Since it concerns the life and death of the Vermillion Bird Clan, we naturally won’t refuse if we can help. However, I don’t agree with you bringing my lover to see Prime Emperor Linfeng alone.”

Seeing Sheng Xiao’s domineering att.i.tude, Prime Master Chengwen realized that there was no room for compromise, so he could only take the initiative to give in. He said, “You guys can all follow me to see the Patriarch.”

“No.” Sheng Xiao shook his head. “We’re not going to see Prime Emperor Linfeng. You have to let Prime Emperor Linfeng come to the hotel to see us.” Sheng Xiao didn’t know what the other party was up to, so he wouldn’t believe in Prime Master Chengwen’s words. If he went to an unfamiliar place without knowing the truth, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den and walking into a trap.

“Uh….” Prime Master Chengwen hesitated.

He felt that Sheng Xiao’s att.i.tude was too unyielding.

Their Patriarch was a respected Prime Emperor powerhouse, so Sheng Xiao and the others should take the initiative to go with him to see Prime Emperor Linfeng. If Yu Huang could really help the Vermillion Bird Clan find the missing clansman, the Vermillion Bird Clan would owe Yu Huang a huge favor.

If the Vermillion Bird Clan owed Yu Huang a favor, it would be of great help to her.

But Sheng Xiao and the others were unappreciative and even asked Prime Emperor Linfeng to come see them…

Prime Master Chengwen admired Sheng Xiao’s arrogance, but being too arrogant wasn’t a good thing.

At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded in Prime Master Chengwen’s ears—

“Okay.”

Prime Master Chengwen looked at the void in the distance in reverence. Then, he nodded at Sheng Xiao. “Prime Emperor Linfeng can see you at the hotel.”

“Then come see us at around one in the afternoon.” After all, the test results would be out at two o’clock.

Then, Sheng Xiao turned around and looked at the void that Prime Master Chengwen had been staring at. He seemed to be talking to Prime Master Chengwen, but also to the person hiding in the void. “Coming alone will be the greatest show of sincerity.”

In the void, a pair of dark eyes stared at Sheng Xiao silently.

A mere Grand Master dared to negotiate with a Prime Emperor. He was quite bold.

As expected of someone who dared to slash down the Divine Tiger Mountain as soon as he arrived.

Then, without waiting for Prime Master Chengwen’s reply, Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand and flew out of the desert with Yin Rong and the others. They headed towards Ice Blazing City.

The Icy Blazing City was built around the snake bone. The middle part of the snake body was the tourist attraction area, so most of the hotels were there. The hotels prepared for them by the organizer were three 30-story buildings.

Four people stayed in each suite. Yu Huang and the others were a.s.signed two rooms.

Sheng Xiao and the other three men stayed in one room while Yu Huang and the other two women stayed in another. It was daytime now, so when they returned to the hotel, the seven of them gathered in the boys’ room.
