Chapter 2896 Qing ’Er’s Dilemma (3)
Even though she had gone through a lot of trouble to get to Demon City, she was not sure if Leng ruoxue would be willing to help her. After all, she and Leng ruoxue did not have a good relationship, and it was the same for the Phoenix Clan. Hence, she could not think of a reason why Leng ruoxue would help her.
But even so, she felt that she could not lower her voice and beg Leng ruoxue, who had caused her clansmen to be unable to return home. She had to bring out the pride of the Phoenix Clan!
With this thought in mind, the little Phoenix Qing 'er, who had always been well-protected, began to act tsundere.
"Alright! I'm Leng ruoxue's man, so even if I took out an expensive healing pill to save you, you're still not willing to be grateful. Then may I ask this Little Phoenix, why are you still here to seek help? Asking your enemy to help you? Do you think that's possible?" Mu li asked after a long time.
"It's ... It's old Grand Madame who asked me to come. He said that if Leng ruoxue knew, she would definitely show up." Qing 'er was so depressed that she could only bring up her ancestor. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to face her tangled heart.
"Are you sure?" Mu li sensed something different in her words. Could it be that the old ancestor that the little Phoenix was talking about had some kind of unspeakable relationship with Leng ruoxue?
Mu li guessed to himself. From time to time, he turned to look at Ming GE and the others. Seeing that they also had a thoughtful expression, he knew that these guys had the same thoughts as him.
"Of course! Could the words of the old ancestor be false? What about Leng ruoxue? I want to see her!" Qing 'er nodded with certainty.
"She's not here. " Mu li said honestly.
"Not here? How could he not be here? You're not lying to me, right? The Phoenix's life is in danger, don't joke around!" The moment she heard that Leng ruoxue wasn't around, Qing 'er's intuition told her that the man in front of her wanted to take revenge and lied to her. In her desperation, she was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
"She's really not here. She left Demon City a long time ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask your family! Aren't they at the foot of the mountain?" Mu li said unhappily when he saw that he was being doubted. Although he was from the nine nether nether nether prison, he had never lied, let alone being doubted by a little girl. This made him quite angry, so his tone was not very friendly.
But when Qing 'er heard this, she really turned around to confirm it. However, as it was Qing 'er's first time in the newly built Demon City, she was lost in the forest before she could even leave the mountain.
Through the light screen, mu li saw that the little Phoenix had lost its way, but he did not sympathize with it at all. It was Ming GE who couldn't stand it anymore and sent a message to the great elder of White Tiger, asking him to take Qing 'er out safely. Otherwise, the little Phoenix would probably still be running around in the forest like a headless fly!
Once they were out of the forest, Qing 'er didn't waste a single moment as she pulled on a Phoenix and asked,""Is Leng ruoxue really not in Demon City?"
"He's not here. " Phoenix, who was held back by Qing 'er, replied honestly.
"Then what are you guys doing here?" Qing 'er asked.
"I'm looking after miss Leng's house!" The Phoenix said matter-of-factly. The three clans had long reached an agreement to stay here until miss Leng returned. They would perform well and strive to leave a good impression on miss Leng so that they could hug her thigh.
"Guard the house? You're noble phoenixes, but you're actually looking after a human's home? Where is your dignity? Where was his pride? Did you feed them all to the dogs?" Upon hearing the Phoenix's reply, Qing 'er was instantly enraged.
Even though she had come to seek help from Leng ruoxue under the orders of her Grand Madame, she had never thought that she was inferior to her. However, the performance of her clansmen had completely disappointed her!
The Phoenix Clan had always been proud! But now, the Phoenix Clan was Leng ruoxue's watchdog! How could she accept this?
At that time, she had fainted after saying a few words to her clansmen. Hence, she did not realize that her clansmen had already set up camp at the foot of Leng ruoxue's Demon City mountain. Now that she knew about it, one could imagine the impact it had on her.
However, the Phoenix Clansman was obviously not happy to hear Qing 'er's words, and retorted,""Miss Qing 'er, how can you say that? Do you think that the current Phoenix Clan is still the noble, beautiful, and superior Phoenix Clan of the past? Since the elders all left home that year, the reputation of the Phoenix Clan has been greatly reduced. Last time, many of the Phoenix clan's clansmen were captured by that witch, mist ripple. If it wasn't for miss Leng who saved us, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see us now. Miss Leng is our benefactor, so as a Phoenix who will repay kindness, I will never allow you to slander us like this. What's wrong with guarding the door for humans? We're repaying a favor!"
This Phoenix spoke with such confidence that the other phoenixes also chided Qing 'er,""Miss Qing 'er, we're not like you, who has a noble status and a direct ancestor like the sixth elder to support you. We're just ordinary members of the Phoenix Clan, and we don't have any backing. We're also weak. Back then, when you ran away from home, did you consider the situation of ordinary phoenixes like us? What right do you have to blame us now? What's wrong with us guarding miss Leng's door? Miss Leng saved us. Without her, we would have died long ago! Where was miss Qing 'er at that time?"
"It is! You're speaking as if we've done something wrong! If miss Qing 'er has so much dignity and ability, why would she still come and beg miss Leng?"
The phoenixes chimed in one after another, criticizing Qing 'er to the point where she had no place to hide. At this moment, The White Tiger first elder couldn't stand it anymore and walked over.""Don't talk about Qing 'er like that, she just doesn't know our current situation.ai! You can't blame her for this!"
"Great elder, although we can't blame her entirely, she doesn't have the right to come up and criticize us! "At least your White Tiger race still has some elders around, but look at our Phoenix race ..." As she spoke, the Phoenix choked up and couldn't continue.
With one Phoenix taking the lead, the other phoenixes also recalled the current tragic situation of their own kind. For a moment, all of them burst into tears.
As for Qing 'er, she had been too shocked today, and was completely stunned.
Seeing this, The White Tiger great elder could only pull Qing 'er over kindly and explain the current situation of the beast race in the divine realm to her.
As he spoke, The White Tiger great elder sighed, while Qing 'er remained silent. By the time The White Tiger great elder finished his long-winded speech, Qing' er's eyes had already turned red.
The White Tiger first elder could only sigh helplessly.
He could understand Qing 'er's feelings. Whoever found out about their clan's current state would not feel good in their hearts. In comparison, their White Tiger clan was still considered fine. At least they still had him, the great elder, around. As for the Phoenix Clan ... AI!
"I ... I didn't expect the Phoenix Clan to be like this." After a long time, Qing 'er sobbed. Although she knew that there were no elders in the Phoenix Clan, she thought that the Phoenix King should be there. Who knew that the Phoenix Clan was now without a leader?
"I didn't expect this either! It's all because of that bitch, Wu Yan. " The White Tiger first elder said hatefully.
"Why doesn't the Phoenix King Care about the Phoenix Clan?" Qing er couldn't help but ask.
"Don't mention it, it's a long story!" The great elder of The White Tiger clan obviously didn't want to talk about this matter, and he hadn't told Qing 'er about the Phoenix King's current whereabouts. It was better not to let this little girl know. Otherwise, it was really afraid of causing trouble.
"Has the Phoenix King fallen?" Seeing that the great elder of The White Tiger clan didn't mention it, Qing 'er could only guess.
"Your Phoenix King is not dead. She is our prisoner now!" Just as the great elder of White Tiger was hesitating on how to answer this question, mu Li's voice suddenly rang in their ears.
When he turned around and saw mu li and the others, The White Tiger great elder left tactfully.
"You captured the Phoenix King?" Qing 'er angrily questioned.
"It wasn't us. To be more precise, it was you who requested for Leng ruoxue to capture the Phoenix King. However, he brought this upon himself and can't blame anyone else!" Mu li explained with a smile.
"Why did you capture the Phoenix King?" Qing 'er asked again.
"What, Little Phoenix, you don't know at all? Go and ask your family! I don't have the time to answer your questions. " Mu li said calmly. After that, he led Ming GE and the others away quietly, just like they had come.
Qing 'er's anger rose when she saw that the other party had left just like that. However, she did not forget the reason why she had come here. She adjusted her emotions and admitted her mistake to the clan members. Then, she carefully asked them about the Phoenix King.
Facing Qing 'er, who was willing to change for the better, these ordinary phoenixes were still very forgiving. Knowing Qing' er's question, they patiently explained the unspeakable conflict between the Phoenix King and Leng ruoxue.
This time, Qing 'er finally understood the inside story. The hatred between the Phoenix Clan and Leng ruoxue was as deep as the sea!
But now, these ordinary clansmen were guarding Leng ruoxue's door, and the old Grand Madame had instructed her to seek help from Leng ruoxue. She even said that Leng ruoxue was the only one who could help them.
Such a fact caused the innocent and impulsive Qing 'er to be even more confused. What should she do?
It was obviously unrealistic to ask these ordinary clansmen to go with Leng ruoxue to save the people. However, Leng ruoxue was not around ...
Qing 'er was at a loss.
The great elder of White Tiger could see Qing 'er's dilemma, so he gave her an idea to ask the city Lord of muli city for help.
"Him? That pretty boy? Can he do it?" Qing 'er was rather suspicious of The White Tiger great elder's suggestion.
Hearing Qing 'er's words, The White Tiger great elder's forehead was immediately covered in cold sweat. He pulled Qing' er and said with a face full of fear,""Little girl, don't talk nonsense! Be careful of trouble from your mouth! Didn't your ancestors teach you that you can't judge a book by its cover? You can't judge a person just by their appearance. I can tell you this, the strength of the MU li City Master is definitely stronger than that of your old ancestor!"
"Really?" Qing 'er was still a little suspicious. She really couldn't tell that the pretty boy was so strong!
"Why Would I Lie to You? Now that miss Leng isn't here, the only people you can ask for help from are the few of them!" The White Tiger first elder said speechlessly. Only now did he realize that some insensible little girls were really not cute.
