Chapter 779 Accident
He wasn't just being polite; although this place looked much more elegant and well-equipped than other courtyards, it still felt somewhat simple once you went inside.

Leaving aside the fact that You Shen was born into the ancient dragon clan and where he grew up, even when the Lin family was at its lowest point, Lin Zhao's courtyard was much larger than this.

However, since Lin Zhao began cultivating immortality, he has rarely had a long-term place to stay, and he often spends his time sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain, so this condition is not bad for Lin Zhao.

As for You Shen, his time in the Zu Long plane legion had honed his ability to remain calm in any environment, so the two of them didn't have the concerns that the man had.

Following the man's directions, the two sat down on the two bamboo chairs he had prepared.

"This is something I made up when I had nothing else to do. You two can try the bamboo leaf tea. It's not anything fancy, but it's something new."

Lin Zhao accepted the tea offered by the other party, took a small sip, and said thank you.

Seeing that the two showed no disgust, the man breathed a sigh of relief, sat down opposite Lin Zhao and the other person, and asked, "How is Xiao Shu now?"

He hadn't even seen the child since he was born before he was brought here.

Lin Zhao didn't know how to put it. Was it good? Qu Shu's experiment on him had rendered his cultivation power so weak that he couldn't even launch an attack. Wasn't that a good thing? Qu Shu had already reached a position that no previous Heavenly Phoenix had ever achieved. What was considered good, and what was considered bad?
"Do you two have a portrait of Xiao Shu? May I take a look?" the man asked somewhat nervously.

He knew his status was lowly, and even though his son was just an unimportant Heavenly Phoenix in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he was not someone he could casually claim kinship with.

He was blinded by love back then, risking being torn to pieces to elope with the goddess of his dreams, and ended up in this situation, which is his own fault. He only feels ashamed for letting down his only son.

But if he were given the chance again, Qingxu knew he would still choose to obey Huangzhao's outstretched hand, even if the result was utter ruin.

He wasn't thinking about climbing the social ladder; he simply liked Huang Zhao.

Even if Huang Zhao only saw him as an obedient tool to rebel against the clan.

Lin Zhao, unaware of his inner thoughts, said, "I don't have Qu Shu's portrait, but the Tian Tong Mirror should show what he looks like now, somewhat like my uncle."

Qingxu quickly replied, "I am not worthy of being called 'uncle' by you. If you don't mind, my name is Qingxu, and you two can just call me Qinghe."

You Shen frowned: "Qu Shu has a good relationship with us. Since you are his father, we will call you Uncle Qing."

Knowing that her son is still alive is one thing, but knowing that her son actually has a good relationship with a big shot in the ancient dragon clan is another.

With mixed feelings, Qingxu accepted the Tiantong Mirror handed to her by Lin Zhao, staring at the pictures on it for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"Is Qu Shu different from Qing Shu because he resembles Senior Huang Zhao?"

Qingxu shook her head: "Yes, it looks very similar."

In particular, his aloofness and innate cool elegance were qualities he could never learn.

"I won't hide it from you. Qu Shu asked me to take you back so that you could help him with his experiments. This could harm your health. If you don't agree, I won't hand you over to him."

Qingxu touched the boy's reflection in the mirror and shook his head: "If I can still be of use to Xiaoshu, I am naturally willing. I am extremely grateful that you can take me out."

Lin Zhao took a deep breath, strongly suspecting that Qu Shu had known all along that her biological father had this kind of temperament.

No, could such a celestial beast really catch the eye of the legendary, powerful Phoenix, and elope with her?
Some questions that had previously piqued Lin Zhao's curiosity were now answered, but she no longer felt the exhilaration of having a secret revealed.

“I can make the decision on this matter,” You Shen said. “Your entry was requested by the Tianhuang Clan. Now that the Tianhuang Clan has granted me permission to enter, I can open the door for Uncle Qing.”

After that, taking Qingxu back was much simpler. The matter was completed even faster than Lin Zhao had expected. When the father and son met, Qingxu almost shed tears, while Qu Shu stood not far away, sizing up his biological father whom he had never met before.

Qu Shu called to him, "Father, welcome home. Come with your son to pay respects to Mother." Qingxu burst into tears.

Lin Zhao stood not far away and said to You Shen, "I have a feeling that we shouldn't be here?"

Such a touching reunion between father and son deserves to be given space to have a proper conversation.

You Shen crossed his arms: "Didn't you say you were going to come and take a look?"

Lin Zhao: "..." Sometimes it's not good when the people around you are too honest.

“I was worried that Qu Shu would go astray and drag his own father into experiments whenever he saw him. But now it seems that he is not entirely without feelings for his father.”

At least he was willing to take his father to pay respects to his mother.

You Shen touched the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something, but he held back.

To avoid telling the truth, You Shen could only change the subject: "News came from the Heavenly Fox Clan that the Demon Ancestor is indeed there, and something happened a couple of days ago."

While Lin Zhao was still wondering if her misunderstanding of Qu Shu was too deep, she suddenly heard You Shen's words.

"Youli's soul appeared beside the Demon Ancestor's bedside."

Lin Zhao: "..."

It's a little hard to imagine that scene.

"what happened?"

"It seems that Youli attached a main soul to the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear through an array. When his main body and other divine souls suffer a devastating blow, most of his power and divine soul power will return to this main soul."

Lin Zhao: "..." So, the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear has always contained the main soul of that guy You Li?
Lin Zhao, who felt disgusted just thinking about it, said, "A devastating blow? Who in the True Spirit Realm would dare to lay a hand on him?"

Even if she wanted to kill Youli, she would have to use someone else's strength against them; she wouldn't dare to act directly.

You Shen: "The Palace Master of the Seven Star Palace".

Lin Zhao knew exactly what You Li was thinking. Even the Palace Master of the Seven Star Palace probably hadn't expected him to be so cunning, with multiple escape routes.

“Youli made a deal with the gods. How dare the Seven Star Palace Master risk ruining the gods’ plans by killing him? Aren’t you afraid of the gods’ wrath?”

Upon hearing this question, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Zhao, and he guessed who this Seven Star Palace Master, who was unafraid of the Heavenly God's schemes, was.

"They really can survive," Lin Zhao clicked her tongue in amazement.

However, in her deduction, the evil thoughts from the otherworld that the people of the Seven Star Palace had eradicated were still fed back to the gods. Wasn't the master of the Seven Star Palace, as the high priest, at odds with the gods?

Could it be that he himself couldn't fully master the Seven Star Palace?
That's right, it can't be completely controlled, otherwise I wouldn't have become the Lord of Tian Shu Star.

Once the connections in my mind were made, things that had seemed puzzling before suddenly became clear.

She also understood why the high priest was now taking action against Youli.

After understanding, Lin Zhao slapped his forehead: "A messy situation with rotten people, let's deal with it slowly."
