Phoenix Destiny

Chapter 338: Finally

Seeing him, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and stood up fast. “Brother Qin.” She bowed and greeted Qin Jun, his younger brother, and his and servant.

Qin Jun look at her and smiled thinly. “We can cut the courtesy, right?”

Jiang Yuan immediately understood the hidden meaning and nodded. “Of course.”

Qin Jun smiled widely and nodded. “After this round, it will be a dangerous journey. Why not we move onwards together?”

Of course, Jiang Yuan wouldn’t decline. “Younger brother has this thought too.”

With just a few words, a temporary alliance was formed.

Qin Jun then turned to Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui and reached out his hand. “I have not met either of you before, I wonder...”

Jiang Yuan had already guessed that one of the factors that caused Qin Jun to join hands with her was due to Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui. Because of the duo, she became stronger.

Firstly Jiang Yuan didn’t pay much attention to them. She only thought that they were quite good, so it would be beneficial to keep them by her side. It was not hard to kill Lu Mingshu or Yan Wugui if they were useless or caused her trouble. She could easily find people to do so.

However, she had changed her mind now. After the battle, she realized that Lu Mingshu’s unique skills were very beneficial to her, and Yan Wugui was stronger than her. No matter what instructions Lu Mingshu gave them, Yan Wugui was able to coordinate.

This somehow saddened Jiang Yuan. She put in so much time and hard work only to realize that she was weaker than two disciples from an isolated place, one in terms of skills and one in ability. However, Prince Jiang still lived by her nickname. She recovered from her sense of failure fast and looked at the situation optimistically.

I can’t let anyone else get these two!

“My good friends.” Jiang Yuan changed her answer and introduced them formally. “This is the gentleman Ji, Ji Xulin, and this is his younger sister, Miss Ji Zhenzhen.”

“So it’s gentleman Ji and Miss Ji. Nice to meet you.” He bowed.

“Pleasure to meet Prince Qin.” Yan Wugui bowed. ~Luckily, he knows when to joke and when to not~ Jiang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

” May I know where you two are from? Qin Jun is too ignorant to not know such outstanding cultivators.” Qin Jun was very enthusiastic about it.

“We come from the bell’s forest.” Yan Wugui said and waved his hand. “It’s a small place. Normal for Prince Qin to have never heard of it.”

Yan Wugui was handsome. Adding on his outgoing character and attractive smile, he is one of those that will make strangers like him easily. Not a few minutes later and Prince Qin already wants to treat him to a meal to have a hearty chat with, and if possible, get him on his side.

Shortly, Prince Chu and his team arrived. Jiang Yuan waved to him. “Brother Chu!”

Qin Jun turned back and smiled. “Brother Chu, Brother Yun.” he bowed.

Chu Zhengyan smiled sweetly and greeted Qin Jun. He then turned to Jiang Yuan and patted her shoulder. “I was so scared for you, brother Jiang! It was nerve-wracking to watch!”

“Ah, it’s not my effort this time around.” Jiang Yuan smiled thinly. “I’m thankful for my good friends who helped me out. I’m glad we are all okay.”

“I know, right. The battle just now was so interesting that I could talk about it for days....”

As they were chatting, a ray of light shot up from the center of the island and landed right in front of them.

Seeing the person who’s now in front of them, they immediately stood straight and bowed. “Senior.”

The freezing spirit phrase’s elder who’s guarding the lake’s heart island had finally arrived.

He was a middle-aged man, and he looked bored. After the princes greeted him, he coughed and raised his voice. “What happened earlier?’

Jiang Yuan stepped up and bowed. “Senior, I’m not sure why but the king of beast suddenly broke out of the formation’s control and chased us juniors around.”

“Uh?”

In fact, Jiang Yuan did not even need to repeat. He was guarding the place; why would he not know? Jiang Yuan had already suspected that it was planned for the king of beasts to go crazy. Moreover, the freezing spirit elder guarding the place did not arrive in time; it further confirmed her guess.

But she was prince Jiang, so she continued to smile and continued politely. “Senior, please have a look. My alliance accompanied me, and they are all my eyewitnesses.”

The freezing spirit phrase elder took a glance at everyone present and nodded. “I’m aware of the incident.”

“So what does senior plan to do about this?”

As soon as she asked this question, the senior stared at her, seeming angry.

However, Jiang Yuan ignored his stare and continued. “The king of beasts should not go crazy anytime, anywhere they want. Am I right? It’s the sea of cloud’s debate; if this happened, it might kill a lot of us!”

The other party sneered and shot her a death glare. “Gentleman Jiang, are you trying to challenge me?”

“Junior dares not.” Jiang Yuan replied calmly. “It’s just that senior is guarding this place, and senior would have to answer for this.”

Before the other party could reply, Qin Jun stepped up and smiled. “Prince Jiang’s words indeed makes sense. The incident has already occurred, and we need an explanation. It’s fair, isn’t it?”

The Jiang’s may not be powerful enough, but adding but the Qins....

The freezing spirit phrase elder coughed dryly and smiled thinly. “I’ll investigate further into this and report it to the emperor. But it will take some time, so focus on the debate first. All the best.” He sounded more caring now as if his anger completely vanished.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan didn’t push it further and smiled. “I’m just afraid that senior may forget. But since senior already has it in mind, then I shall not talk too much.”

“Okay.” The cultivator seemed friendlier now compared to the last time. “Do not let this affect you. The third round is about to start, so get ready soon.” He smiled at them as if he was worried about them.

“Noted.” The princes nodded, and a ray of light reappeared, sending the elder off.

Not after long, a group of purity phase cultivators came out of the island and cleaned the dead king of beast’s body away.

Qin Jun look over to Jiang Yuan. “Brother Jiang, let’s go to the sea of clouds now?”

“Sure. Brother Qin, please.”

They went over to Chu Zhengyan and floating cloud gentleman and bowed. “We’ll get going first.”

With that, the different groups went separate ways.

Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui were the last. Yan Wugui grabbed her over and whispered. “Oh my god, such an actress. She must be dying to kill him, yet she was still acting so nicely. Yuck.”

“Or what?” Lu Mingshu laughed. “Call him out like a madwoman? That’s not nice, and it wouldn’t have worked as well.” Lu Mingshu looked around, then continued. “Who do you think is the culprit?”

“Who knows?” Yan Wugui shrugged.

Lu Mingshu sighed upon seeing his reaction. “The difference....”

If it were Xie Lianzhen, the dramatic guy would already have come up with tons of scenarios. But Yan Wugui does not even want to use his brain! He’s not stupid, just that the way he handles things is different from Xie Lianzhen. ~well, if they were the same, what is there to split?~
