A life of clearness

Chapter 358 Apology
"I advise His Highness the Fourteenth Prince not to inquire about Senior Brother Zhizheng in the Qinghang Realm." Fenghuang said softly: "Some secrets may be very tempting before they are revealed, but it is hard to see what benefits can be gained after they are revealed."

The secret that all the Taoist masters pay attention to may not be an opportunity at all, but a huge danger.

"Phoenix, you are too suspicious." Wenren Fourteen smiled and shook his head: "I am just curious. If you are worried, Seventeen and I promise not to explore the secrets of your Senior Brother Zhizheng. Seventeen?"

"Yes." Wenren Shiqi lowered his head.

Seeing this, Fenghuang nodded. She didn't want to dwell on this matter, but since Wenren Shisi gave her a way out, she just stepped down.

"But apart from that, I didn't expect that Xiao Shiqi went out to relax and brought back a competition." Wenren Shisi smiled helplessly.

"The martial arts are prevalent in Qinghang Realm. Although Junior Sister Yu Rong is new to Qinghang Realm, since she has become a disciple of Elder Xuan Yi, it is not surprising that she would do this."

"Is there any explanation for this?"

"Elder Xuan Yi is the most protective of his shortcomings, and he will not accept any disciples unless they share the same temperament with him. Therefore, his disciples are very united. Although Senior Brother Zhizheng did not punish His Highness the Seventeenth, it is impossible for his junior brothers and sisters not to express their opinions at all." Fenghuang arranged the black pieces on the chessboard and closed the lid of the chess box: "Junior Brother Xizi is not a life-and-death cultivator, and is not good at fighting. Junior Sister Yurong is just the opposite, so it is most appropriate for her to propose the competition."

"Seventeen, did you hear that?" Wenren Fourteen warned, "Don't be careless."

"Yes." Wenren Shiqi responded immediately. She was convinced by this brother and did not have any rebellious feelings.

Wenren Shisi looked at Fenghuang with a smile in his eyes: "I didn't want to leave so early, but I had to go because of the mission of the elders in the clan. I hope Fenghuang will not blame me for disturbing you during this period of time."

"...Yes." Fenghuang stood up, and both of them bowed to say goodbye.

"I'll wait for your news." This was Fenghuang's answer. To her, this sentence seemed a bit weak, but Wenren Shisi was indeed the best candidate that the master hoped to break the deadlock.

She knew what Wenren Shisi was planning. Fenghuang was also looking for a partner. However, due to her background, she was naturally inferior to Wenren Shisi in terms of the huge range of choices.

"This is an apology to the disciples of Elder Xuan Yi." He took out a storage bag from his sleeve, "Please ask Phoenix to pass it on. It can be used to erase some of Xiao Shiqi's previous abrupt behavior."

When the Wen family members are out in the world, they always maintain the family's reputation. Wenren Seventeen's arrogance is her way of maintaining the family's reputation, and Wenren Fourteen's apology afterwards is his way.

As for the account with Lao Tao Pavilion, since there is also Lao Tao Pavilion in the Small Creation World, there is no need to go to Juntian Tower to settle it.

Phoenix was silent and took the storage bag.

"Please stop. You don't have to see me off."

The slender fingers lifted the veil, revealing Wenren Shisi's extremely handsome face.

The pursuit of bloodline by the aristocratic families makes their members almost flawless in appearance.

Xi Zhen finally met this outstanding face and smiling eyes. Even though she knew that only the Phoenix Taoist could match her, she still couldn't help but feel her heart beating irregularly and her face flushed.

She quickly lowered her head, and when she raised it again, the extremely outstanding brother and sister had flown high into the sky and disappeared.

The monks who were left in Phoenix City and saw this scene all exclaimed. These monks were all speculating about the origins of these two people. After all, in Phoenix City, even the elders of Juntian Sect could not fly directly over the city. Xi Zhen reluctantly withdrew her gaze, but in the blink of an eye, she saw that the Phoenix Taoist had already walked to her side. She suddenly felt guilty, even though the other party didn't say anything.

"Sister Fenghuang, can His Highness the Fourteenth Prince really become my brother-in-law?" Xi Zhen asked hurriedly, "He has only been here for three days. I heard that..."

Phoenix interrupted her: "Whether what you heard is true or not, his presence here has already made his attitude clear."

Phoenix retracted his gaze and looked at Xi Zhen: "In the past three days, I have told him all the conditions that Phoenix City can agree to. If he has a better choice, then let him choose someone else."

Upon hearing this, Xi Zhen said anxiously: "Then Sister Fenghuang will become..." the abandoned person?
Even though he hadn't finished speaking, Fenghuang knew what Xi really wanted to say.

She walked back to the corridor and knelt down beside the chessboard again. Even though the black and white chess pieces had been put back into the chess box, she still remembered the previous game clearly.

"When two major forces are getting married, the intentions of the parties involved are the least important." Phoenix said softly: "It's okay if he doesn't choose me in the end. After all, there is still some time before the Sequence War. When I stand out in the Sequence War, I will have more and better choices."

Hearing this, Xi Zhen was a little puzzled, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart: "I thought Sister Fenghuang liked His Highness the Fourteenth..."

"I like him, I do. But..." Phoenix's soft voice sounded very ruthless: "If it's someone as good as him or better than him, I can also like someone else."

"By the same token, if there is another prince who is more beautiful and powerful than the Fourteenth Prince, Xi Zhen, can you guarantee that you won't be attracted to that prince?"

Xi Zhen's face turned pale. Even though Fenghuang didn't say it explicitly, she knew that Fenghuang had guessed her thoughts.

She bit her lip and changed the subject very stiffly: "Are we really going to give the storage bag to Xizi and the others?"

The Wenren family's apology must be something good. Did they really just give it to them?
"His Highness the Fourteenth Prince has already shown his attitude by letting me deliver it instead of delivering it in person. Why should we do this in vain?"

Compared with the huge benefits of a successful marriage, this small apology means nothing.

Therefore, Fenghuang did not interpret other meanings from this storage bag as Xizhen did.

……

Outside the boundary membrane of Qinghang Realm, the Wenren brother and sister did not land on one of the floating islands, but summoned a huge flying boat from a distance.

"Brother Fourteen, why do we have to apologize to them?" Now that they were alone, Wenren Seventeen couldn't help but ask, "I didn't lie in the image-keeping talisman. Yu Rong is really provoking our Wenren clan!"

She was generous enough to not make a fuss and use the trial field to solve the problem. Why did Fourteenth Brother have to apologize to them? This was not like Fourteenth Brother's usual style.

“That female cultivator named Yu Rong…” Wenren Shisi said solemnly, “Maybe her origins are not what you think. She is just a cultivator from the Mother Realm.”

Wenren Shiqi's beautiful eyes could not hide the surprise.
