After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 789 The Eve of the Competition
Lin Zhao coughed repeatedly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but ask with a wry smile, "What little boyfriend? Senior, please don't talk nonsense. I didn't care before, but now I'm a married woman."

Although Su Bai had clearly stated his attitude towards Qu Shu, Lin Zhao felt that Su Bai's statement was completely incoherent.

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry?" Zuo Yuan shrugged. "Your Majesty's Dao Companion should be arriving soon, and then Your Majesty's Dao Companion will naturally give Your Majesty a better explanation."

Lin Zhao: "?" What better explanation could Su Bai give him?

After expressing that he could no longer understand what Senior Zuo Yuan was saying, Lin Zhao took over the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror, and then left the Blue Duck Secret Realm with them.

When Lin Zhao handed the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror to Qu Shu and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief, Qu Shu was alright, after all, he had also participated in the research and development of this thing. However, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief was very unsettled. She walked around the furnace and said, "Is this the thing that can convert back the origin and power that the evil thoughts from the other world have taken away? This thing can restore our lost origin?"

Lin Zhao nodded; "However, having a strong physique and a proper mental state are still necessary. So, if you want to benefit from this furnace, you have to abide by the rules. As for the rules..."

Lin Zhao looked at Qu Shu: "Qu Shu, you make the decision."

These things were completely outside her area of ​​expertise, but according to Lin Yi, who had been helping her manage the affairs of the Dragon Phoenix Empire these past few days, Qu Shu was quite adept at this.

At the same time, Lin Yi also expressed that it was very unreasonable for him, who was titled the Carefree King of the Carefree Land, to become the regent of the entire Dragon Phoenix Empire.

If Ning Wengui hadn't suddenly arrived with Lin Zhao's daughter, Lin Mu would have successfully diverted the attention of the two elders of the Lin family, relieving his pressure to get married. Ning Wengui, as the emperor's consort, had also taken over some affairs, and Lin Yi felt he would have been too busy to handle anything.

So while replying to Lin Zhao, he also asked, "When can we bring back my brother-in-law Qu Shu, who is skilled in politics? Then the Dragon Phoenix Empire will be completely at peace."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she thought of this.

Ning Wengui's situation was already an unexpected turn of events; hopefully, nothing else will happen at Qu Shu's place.

Qu Shu caught Lin Zhao's gaze and nodded; "The general rule is distribution according to work, and the qualification to cultivate near the furnace is obtained according to contribution points. Of course, the opening of the furnace is beneficial to the cultivation of all clansmen inside the entire Tianhuang Clan residence, and even..."

Without needing to say anything more, Lin Zhao understood immediately and said, "I will set up an array so that people around cannot feel the effect of the furnace, or seal the effect of the furnace near the Tianhuang Clan's residence."

The reason the furnace was separated in the lower realm was because it was the only means of countermeasure there. The situation in the upper realm was completely different. Handing it over or letting people know its purpose could be fatal.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and for the first time, he looked at Qu Shu with a gaze devoid of any disgust.

"These days, not these years, have been tough on you."

Qu Shu closed his eyes slightly and replied calmly, "This is what I should do. Clan leader, you flatter me."

His heart was churning with thoughts of his mother's past. How much did this clan chief actually know about her?

If the clan chief knew everything, that his father was merely a tool his mother used to defy the clan rules, yet still imprisoned his father for so many years, then his actions were somewhat motivated by venting his anger.

Having lived with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan for many years, he had come to know the clan leader to some extent; he was not the kind of person who wouldn't do such a thing.

Most of the time, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief is a very rational person. However, when it comes to matters concerning the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's foundation, she will set aside all prejudices and spare no effort to ensure the clan's development. This is why Qu Shu, despite guessing that the other party was venting her anger, remained calm. At least, such a clan chief is not a truly wicked person. She has dedicated her entire life to upholding the rules of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Even she herself only gave up the idea of ​​giving birth to a Heavenly Phoenix after giving birth to seven Heavenly Phoenixes.

When someone is strict with themselves, others will be more likely to be less prejudiced against them.

Qu Shu still found it somewhat amusing, as this clan leader had often felt that his birth was a failure on his mother's part.

Seeing that his words had not elicited much of a reaction from Qu Shu, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief moved his lips, then shook his head, not intending to explain his actions over the years.

She had a vague idea of ​​why Huang Zhao eloped with a celestial beast.

Huang Zhao was exceptionally talented from a young age and was highly regarded by the entire Tianhuang Clan. As a result, the Tianhuang Clan kept increasing the expectations placed on Huang Zhao, imposing their own expectations and the rules of the Tianhuang Clan.

This immense pressure led to Huang Zhao's rebellious nature.

She disdained to defy those minor rules and set her sights on the clan rule that the Heavenly Phoenix could only give birth to a pure-blooded Heavenly Phoenix with the Heavenly Phoenix.

Elopement, in search of celestial beasts
Feelings and such are just excuses; the ultimate goal is to show that even if he doesn't abide by the outdated rules of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, he can still lead the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to rise.

She had once reflected on whether she had done something wrong because of Huang Zhao's fierce resistance, but Huang Zhao's death later gave her a negative answer.

She brought back Huang Zhao's only child, a celestial phoenix.

Given that his biological father was merely a crane, the purity of this child's Tianfeng bloodline reached an alarming level.

This inevitably makes one wonder, if the one who married Huang Zhao was a Heavenly Phoenix, would the one born this time be an even stronger Heavenly Phoenix of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?

Caught between these complex thoughts and her disappointment in Huang Zhao, she ultimately made the decision to imprison the celestial beast.

This wasn't out of spite, but because Huang Zhao had many suitors, and after Huang Zhao's death, this celestial beast clearly lacked the ability to protect itself from those wounded enemies. So, she sent him to the small island of the ancient dragon clan, ostensibly to imprison him, but in reality to protect him.

Only the territory of the ancient dragon clan can instill fear in those with ulterior motives, preventing them from daring to invade.

But there's no need to mention any of these considerations to a junior who has been intentionally disliked and neglected by them for so many years.

The clan chief said, "Then you shall decide on the details, and we old folks will be responsible for implementing them."

Qu Shu nodded and asked Lin Zhao, "What are you planning to do?"

Lin Zhao said, "An ancient battlefield. I've heard that there are still several otherworldly evil thoughts at the Immortal King level in the Northern Region."

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, the clan leader's expression changed: "The combat power of otherworldly evil spirits is generally higher than that of cultivators of the same level. You have already killed one, which is enough. If you go again, I'm afraid you won't be able to return in time before the competition."

Lin Zhao chuckled: "The clan leader is overthinking it. I don't have the guts to go looking for them right now. It's just that I've signed a contract with the Red Brocade Rat, and I plan to try my luck in the area of ​​those otherworldly evil thoughts at the Immortal King level in the ancient battlefield. Who knows, I might find something and hunt down a few otherworldly evil thoughts along the way."
