Su Yan Mo knew more than anyone that the reason Helian Jiao Er had received so much protection was because itâs rumored that she was the reincarnation of the phoenix.
Even though the imperial family was in power in Dragon War Empire, however, there were many, many affairs which, before they carry them out, they couldnât help but carefully consider the four great clansâ positions.
This is the situation thatâd been present ever since the founding of Dragon War Empire. No one could break it.
Yet after the godly monk divined that the phoenix would descend, a change occurred to the situation.
Those elders from the four great clans wanted to use the phoenix to rule the the government, so they had the godly monk extrapolate where the phoenix would emerge.
The godly monk refused. To divulge the will of heaven like this would usually bring about calamity.
No one wanted to die.
If the elders didnât use the lives of all of the monks in the temple as hostage, the godly monk simply wouldnât have agreed to continue.
In the end, after three days and three nights, that godly monk finally calculated the female phoenixâs birthplace, but it turned out that within that courtyard, there were two children.
The godly monk also couldnât be sure which of the children it was. Su Yan Mo then simply pushed her own daughter to the forefront and locked up that little vile spawn in the storehouse, not letting her out again.
For the sake of performing this divination, he was forced to age ten years and no longer wanted to mind worldly affairs.
However, Su Yan Mo still couldnât feel at ease. The only person who knew what really happened at the time was this godly monk. Only by eliminating him would her daughter become the worldâs only phoenix!
Consequently, she dispatched three waves of assassinations in succession, until that godly monk was finally forced to jump over a cliff.
Right now, that old monk shouldâve already turned into a pile of bones.
Certainly, now that these two children had become older and older, itâd soon be time to determine who really had the constitution of a phoenix.
Of course, Su Yan Mo felt that only her daughter could be the true reincarnation of the phoenix.
But she also couldnât prevent something else unforeseen from happening...
Due to this incident involving entrapping a person, Retired Emperorâs mood didnât appear very good at all, thatâs why even customs from previous years were cancelled.
Everybody returned to their room, and prepared to rest.
Of course, some people still hadnât forgotten to carry out their jobs.
At this moment, Head Abbot Fang Zhang was sitting in his room while rotating the Buddhist beads in his hands, the air pressure was a bit low. The novice monk standing outside didnât even dare to come in.
Before him sat Baili Jia Jue. Within his apathetic, demonically cold appearance, there was even a trace of an evil aura.
That kind of evil aura was impossible to suppress even though they were in a sacred temple. On the contrary, because of this kind of environment.
It made him appear even more pure and handsome, like an immortal devil.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang inclined his face as he gazed at the young manâs two eyes.
While Baili Jia Jue also slightly lifted raised his chin, making his own gaze emit a kind of graceful indifference.
âI know that everytime you come here, you wonât say anything, but...â Head Abbot Fang Zhangâs unadorned finger pointed outside the window. âSomeone is worried about you. Every year, the old person appears to come and pray for blessing on the surface, but in reality, what heâs most concerned about is still you.â
âWhat do you want me to say?â The unenthusiastic voice only echoed inside the room the two were in, imbued with a hint of coldness. Baili Jia Jueâs slender fingers tapped on the wood chairâs armrest, body leaning back, a long leg crossed over the other, looking straight at Head Abbot Fang Zhang. The curve at the corner of his mouth made a person think of a series of negative words, for example, haughty, cold and detached...
Head Abbot Fang Zhang closed his eyes and sighed, using his own fingers to massage his temples.
He dared to bet that all of todayâs cleansing to worship Buddha, as well as meditation and recitation of scripture had been wasted, because this person that he wanted to cure, completely didnât have any intention of listening to him talk.
For the past several years, Retired Emperor was like this every year, asking him to enlighten Third Prince.
However, Baili Jia Jue was a pool of stagnant water, a gorgeous deep pond of stagnant water.
When he smiled a smile that wasnât a smile, thatâs when he possessed the most potential for an attack.
When he looked up, it seemed as if heâs capable of instantaneously prying into a personâs inner thoughts. Conversing with this kind of person, was truly very tiring!
âFor example, how has your state of mind changed recently.â Head Abbot Fang Zhang was truly out of options. âYou understand very well that youâre like an armament that can explode at any time and kill people. You recently shouldâve recovered your martial qi, right? Donât tell me that thereâs nothing you want to do?â
Baili Jia Jue smiled a bit. That kind of smiling expression seemed like a red spider lily opening on the road to hell, like an unstoppable wildfire. âDoes killing people count?â
Head Abbot Fang Zhang almost spurt the tea he was drinking back out.
He must write this down!
Because this stinky fellow was very possibly telling the truth!
Beside his killing people, what Retired Emperor feared most was that heâd find no other joy in life.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, does this mean that his chances at deciding victory or defeat had increased!
Baili Jia Jue looked up behind him, his voice like cold, calm water. âYou seem to be very excited.â
âCough, besides killing people, do you have nothing else you want to do?â Head Abbot Fang Zhang called to mind the main question that he wanted to ask this time. âFor example, youâre no longer very young now, right? Havenât you thought of looking for a beautiful marriage? I heard your imperial grandfather say that you choose that oldest daughter from the Helian family, mm, today, she actually appears quick-witted and intelligent, however, havenât you always liked white and clean, easy to bully bunny rabbits, why has your taste changed?â
Actually, Head Abbot Fang Zhang especially wanted to ask this, are you thinking of using her.
Yet a curve slowly drew open on Baili Jia Jueâs mouth, Head Abbot Fang Zhangâs scalp was numbed by his grin.
He then spoke with a voice that didnât undulate one bit. âA good prey, howâs that related to how it looks?â
Prey?
A question mark covered Head Abbot Fang Zhangâs entire face, but this was a good response! It truly was was good response! When they sat together in the past, if he didnât shut his mouth, he was spouting poison! (hurling insults)
Answering his question so normally, like heâs doing today, was truly too rarely seen!
Head Abbot Fang Zhang wrote at a tremendous speed, almost moved to tears!
Being able to obtain the tiniest bit of information about what this stinky fellowâs thinking, was truly too, too not easy!
âToday, Iâm in a good mood, I can talk chat with you more.â Baili Jia Jueâs fingertips braced his chin, covered from head to toe with an air of arrogance and aloofness.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was startled and immediately looked up, a little bit not daring to believe what he himself had heard!
Wait a minute...these words coming from Third Prince should probably be interpreted as the opposite!
On the corners of Baili Jia Jueâs mouth hung a smiling expression, his tone was level, if he wanted, he could almost make the listener feel like theyâre bathing in a spring wind. âIf I told you that Iâve always wanted to obtain a person, yet until now, sheâs still out of reach, what kind of advice will Fang Zhang give me.â
âIn this world is there still someone you canât have?â
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was shocked, how strong must that person be and how much willpower must she have, to be able to refuse this face that could eat both females and males alive!
Baili Jia Jue appeared rather distressed, however the words he spoke didnât contain the slightest bit of emotion. âThatâs why Iâm thinking, how about I remove her claws and directly kidnap her.â
Head Abbot Fang Zhang: â...â
