Chapter 521 The Ancestral Phoenix is ​​in Trouble
After settling You Shen in, Lin Zhao responded to the pistil that had suddenly contacted her on the Tian Tong Mirror, and then bid farewell to You Shen that evening.

You Shen was naturally unhappy with Lin Zhao's farewell: "You just left me here and ran off?"

Lin Zhao said with a serious face: "How can you say that? Many people want to join this legion but can't find a way. You should practice your clone's physical body here. This legion is quite interesting."

She's used to being alone. What's this about having a young master of an ancient dragon clan by her side?
Besides, this person is different from Jin Ya. She can confidently order Jin Ya to do work for her without having to explain to Jin Ya.

But You Shen...

Forgive Lin Zhao for being overly suspicious, but she doesn't have that level of trust in You Shen yet.

Although You Shen was skeptical of Lin Zhao's words, he didn't say much: "When will you be back?"

Sensing a strange undertone in those words, You Shen unconsciously furrowed his brow, but his face remained impassive.

Lin Zhao, feeling guilty, didn't notice You Shen's change. She calculated for a while and said, "I'll probably be back in about two months. We'll work together again then. Trust me, you'll have a very happy and fulfilling two months here."

Hearing Lin Zhao say this, You Shen looked at her for a while and then simply stopped giving her face: "I'm not stupid because I'm too lazy to think about it. You just don't plan to take me with you to do what you want to do."

Lin Zhao: "...You and Youli have such completely different personalities, huh?"

Having grown accustomed to speaking to ancient dragons like Youli, who spoke in roundabout ways, and to exchanging meaningful remarks with ancient dragons like Youchen, Lin Zhao found it difficult to adapt to someone like Youshen, who always got straight to the point.

You Shen said, "He and I can only be considered cousins, and our two families have never lived together. How could I possibly resemble You Li?"

Lin Zhao understood why the young master was so straightforward: "Don't your parents have any other children?"

You Shen said, "After my mother gave birth to me, she thought that my poor health was due to my father, so she kicked my father out and became a Daoist couple with my junior brother. Later, my father fell in love with a girl from the White Tiger Clan, but was chased away by her tigress husband and could not survive in the Upper Realm. He went down to the Lower Realm, but I don't know where he is now."

Lin Zhao: "...You don't have to be so direct." Sometimes, a little bit of indirect communication is quite nice.

And is the ancient dragon clan really that fierce?! The young master's parents separated so easily, without any power struggles or political maneuvering involved?!

Seemingly sensing Lin Zhao's thoughts, You Shen said, "The true direct descendants of the Ancient Dragon Clan don't care about those trivial matters. As long as you are strong, you have absolute autonomy in the Ancient Dragon Clan. If you cannot be autonomous, it means you are not strong enough. We are different from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and other races that require intra-clan intermarriage to produce Heavenly Phoenixes."

As he said this, he didn't forget to take a jab at the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Then you're really amazing."

You Shen said, "A forced smile, that's called hypocrisy."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Fortunately, I left you here alone. Young master, you'd better get a good taste of the harsh realities of society!
After explaining the situation to You Shen, Lin Zhao left him some pills to nourish his soul and body before departing.

You Shen looked at the pill in his hand. After Lin Zhao left, he opened the Heavenly Mirror and looked at You Chen, whose face was a little pale, and asked, "How much of your strength do you have left?"

Youchen forced a smile: "The destruction of that clone didn't really hit me that hard, it just takes some time to recover. Luckily, Second Brother is alright, I'm relieved to see he's okay." Youshen lowered his eyes and briefly explained his situation in the Ancestral Dragon Plane after being rescued by Lin Zhao. Upon hearing this, Youchen said, "So, Second Brother, you joined the army? I've been active in the Ancestral Dragon Plane before. The Qin Dynasty's army... is quite strict. I hope you can hold on, Second Brother."

How could I possibly not be able to meet the requirements for lower-level cultivators?
You Shen thought You Chen was overthinking things.

However, after talking with Youchen for so long, Youchen still didn't express any doubt about Lin Zhao bringing him to the Ancestral Dragon Plane, which puzzled Youshen greatly. "Aren't you going to ask me what Lin Zhao's intentions were in putting me here, and where she went herself?"

Youchen asked curiously, "She must have her own things to do. I'm not close to her, why should I ask her?"

You Shen laughed angrily: "You're too trusting that she wouldn't do anything to me, aren't you?"

Youchen coughed and deliberately misinterpreted his meaning: "Second brother, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that compared to Qu Shu, your looks are nothing. In terms of strength and talent, Lin Zhao herself is no less than you. She is not a wicked person. What could someone like her do to you?"

Although he knew that Youchen was deliberately misinterpreting his meaning, Youshen was still indignant: "You're going to talk about your second brother like that?"

While he may not be as good-looking as the leader of the Heavenly Phoenix, he shouldn't be as unpresentable as Youchen described.

Youchen thought for a while: "Lin Zhao won't hurt you. I've met her. She's too responsible and too attached to so-called gratitude, so she'll most likely take care of you because she has the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear. Also, if there really is something between you two, believe me, Second Brother, the clan will pack you up and send you to her."

Youshen: "..."

He clearly overestimated his cousin's concern for him and underestimated the importance the clan placed on Lin Zhao.

……

When Lin Zhao found Ci Rui by following the information on the Tian Tong Mirror, it was already the seventh day after leaving the Western District Legion. He had taken several teleportation arrays and spirit boats along the way before finally arriving at the small imperial mountain range where Ci Rui and Xuan Cang were located.

"What happened?" Seeing Xuan Cang on the verge of death, Lin Zhao used his divine soul to check the other's injuries, injected spiritual energy to temporarily stabilize Xuan Cang's condition, and asked Ci Rui what had happened.

The pistil looked grim: "Something has happened in the Ancestral Phoenix Imperial City, Your Majesty."

Now that Lin Zhao is the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, and she is a being from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, it is perfectly acceptable for her to address Lin Zhao as Your Majesty.

Her words successfully changed Lin Zhao's expression: "What did you say?!"

Something happened in the Ancestral Phoenix Imperial City, and the Lin family is right there in the Imperial City!

Lin Zhao clenched his fists, instinctively wanting to go back.

"Your Majesty should not return now. Although the Ancestral Phoenix is ​​in turmoil, the royal family is still in good condition under the protection of the Lingtian Pavilion, the royal family's experts, and the Chi family. Moreover, with your current strength, returning will not help."

Hearing that the Lin family was alright, Lin Zhao finally calmed down and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"A spy has appeared inside the Ancestral Phoenix Imperial City. This spy is a person from another world with evil intentions."
