Chapter 255 Make a Plan
Lin Zhao leaned back in her chair and met Chi Ling's gaze. "You mentioned my luck because of Ji Wantang?"
Chi Ling nodded: "In this generation of the royal family, no one can shake Ji Wantang's position. Almost the entire Ancestral Phoenix Continent believes that she is the next Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. Before I met you, I thought so too."
Lin Zhao did not deny that she had designs on the position of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, "But I am only at the Heartbeat stage now. Ji Wantang is already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. What qualifications do I have to sway Ji Wantang?"
"Young friend, don't be in a hurry. Since you can sit still, you must know that I'm looking for you to cooperate."
Lin Zhao slowly frowned: "You have a good relationship with Prince Chiyuan, so why would you ask me to cooperate with you to deal with Ji Wantang?"
If someone were to say that she was in the early stages of a romantic relationship and then try to challenge Ji Wantang, who is now at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, two years later, it would be considered a joke by anyone.
In addition, she remembered that Chi Yuan and Ji Wantang should have a good relationship.
Chi Ling scoffed: "If the royal family had a good relationship with Ji Wantang, they wouldn't have thought of giving Ji Wantang the Empress's most beloved prince as a concubine to secure their family's status after leaving the royal family."
Lin Zhao understood, but she did not respond.
Chi Ling was a smart man, and immediately said, "Of course, if you are unwilling, I have no intention of forcing you."
Lin Zhao smiled and sighed, "I didn't mean to refuse the royal family. It's just that my strength is still too shallow, and I'm far from qualified to cooperate with the royal family. If Your Highness still has this idea two years from now, I will naturally come to you. What do you say?"
Chi Ling smiled slightly: "Of course, young friend is even more cautious than I thought. My daughter has probably been safe and sound thanks to your care during this time, hasn't she?"
Chi Ling knew his daughter all too well. Just the fact that the Phoenix Medicine Sect hadn't noticed anything amiss after his daughter discovered that pool showed that the girl in front of him had put in a lot of effort.
Lin Zhao said, "Your Highness flatters me. The princess has helped me a lot during this time. The princess is also very charming and lovely in her dealings with others."
Forget it, no matter how many headaches Yunfei has given me lately, at least she's brought me some help!
Lin Zhao said, "Let's get back to the matter Your Highness came here to resolve. How does Your Highness plan to deal with the lava blood pool of the Phoenix Medicine Sect and the mastermind behind it? And that evil thought from another world, which has also affected the little princess."
Chi Ling's previously calm expression darkened upon hearing that this matter involved his daughter: "How dare the Phoenix Medicine Sect harm my daughter?"
Even evil thoughts from another world are not something the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire has no experience in defeating, let alone a mere sect in the Northwest Continent.
However, he quickly organized his thoughts and stared intently at Lin Zhao: "What are your thoughts, young friend?"
Lin Zhao was surprised that the other party would entrust the decision-making power to her. The smile on her face froze for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If Your Highness trusts me, I am willing to show you what I have investigated during this period."
Chiling undoubtedly trusts Lin Zhao's talent, but judging from Lin Zhao's ability to handle affairs, given her recent success in protecting her daughter, Chiling has only half trust in Lin Zhao.
After all, this matter involves evil thoughts from another world and a top power on a continent. Entrusting all your trust to someone in the early stages of a relationship is an extremely risky thing.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's see what news you can bring to me."
Lin Zhao told Chi Ling everything she had found out during her time at the Phoenix Medicine Sect without reservation. Of course, she omitted the fact that she was entrusted by Elder Cheng and that she possessed the Phoenix Vein Technique.
Everything else was fine, but when Chi Ling heard about the Phoenix Medicine Sect Master beneath the lava blood pool, her expression turned serious.
“I remember that the sect leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect should be in the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. It is precisely because of his seclusion in recent years that the status of the Phoenix Medicine Sect has declined again and again.”
A Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator is enough to secure a sect's place among the top-tier forces on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent. The Ancestral Phoenix Continent is not lacking in True Immortals, but True Immortal level experts are bound by rules and cannot take action. The Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator represents the pinnacle of combat power on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.
"No matter how powerful that Second Elder is, he's only at the half-step Tribulation Transcending stage. How could he possibly imprison a Tribulation Transcending stage expert?"
Lin Zhao said, "Then you'll have to hold off the Second Elder while I go down and take a look."
Chi Ling pondered, clearly still uneasy. Then he pulled a transparent glass mirror from his sleeve. "The Empire has always refrained from interfering in the internal affairs of sects. The Phoenix Medicine Sect hasn't directly attacked my daughter either. I have no reason to directly attack the current leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. However, if you find evidence, record it with this glass mirror. The Empire's people are lying in ambush near the Phoenix Medicine Sect. Hand it over to them, and I will naturally take action. But I will only give you three days."
Lin Zhao took the glass mirror and examined it. It was a magical artifact used to record the scene in front of a cultivator, and it was generally used to record some evidence.
After understanding what the other party wanted him to do, Lin Zhao nodded and said, "If I record the evidence within three days, how do I contact them?"
“You and Feifei…” Chi Ling hesitated for a moment, then, remembering her daughter’s temper, she thought that Feifei would ruin things, and said, “Forget it, you and I will exchange Tian Tong numbers and contact me directly.”
After Lin Zhao and Chi Ling exchanged Tian Tong ships, Chi Ling had someone let Chi Yuan and Yun Fei in.
"What? You won't let me go back to the Phoenix Medicine Sect?!" Yun Fei's eyes widened. "I don't want to! I want to go back! Father, if you won't let me go back, I'll tell Mother."
Chi Ling rubbed his temples: "Even if you report this to the current Immortal Emperor, it won't do you any good. Just stay here and be quiet!"
Yunfei bit her lip, looked at Lin Zhao, and said unwillingly, "At worst, I'll just stay with Miss Ling'er. I won't do anything bad."
Although she was a bit spoiled, she understood right and wrong and knew that her existence might become a weapon for the other party. So she could only whisper to herself, "Dad, I promise I won't cause any trouble."
However, she had absolutely no credibility with Chi Ling: "No, you're just as impulsive as your mother. You have to stay here. But you've reminded me that if I don't let you go back, it might arouse suspicion from the Phoenix Medicine Sect."
Yunfei's eyes lit up: "Then can I go to the Phoenix Medicine Sect?"
"No, Xiao Yuan, you transform into Fei Fei and go back to the Phoenix Medicine Sect with Miss Ling'er."
Yunfei's identity is not just that of a true fairy daughter; her maternal grandfather is the Celestial Emperor of the Upper Realm. If Yunfei gets into trouble on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, they cannot bear the responsibility.
Chi Yuan was more reliable than her spoiled daughter, so Chi Ling entrusted the task to him.
