2243 Swallow Your Grievances
Qiao Mu and Mo Lian picked some fresh oranges, pears, and other fruit before leaving Paradise Planet.
Qiao Mu smacked her head. “Wait for me.”
She then went back into Paradise Planet and handed the pair of Yuezhuo eggs to the water child. She patted its head and said, “Help me find a place with dense spiritual energy and take good care of them.”
“Okay.” The water child enveloped the two phoenix eggs with mist and bobbed its head.
!!
Qiao Mu ignored the three little doggies’ protesting barks and berated, “You cannot eat them!”
“Wu, wuwu!!” The three little doggies were actually… rolling around in a tantrum!
Their behavior was too human-like. Qiao Mu couldn’t help but look at them in both amusement and exasperation.
She flipped her hand and took out three bottles of medicinal solution from her inner world. She shook them in front of the three little doggies. “You’re not allowed to eat the sacred beast eggs. This you can eat.”
“Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!” The three puppies circled around her and hugged the medicinal solution with their paws before running away happily.
Qiao Mu shook her head speechlessly. She beckoned Qiuqiu over and left several instructions. It was mainly for Qiuqiu to keep watch over the little doggies and make sure they didn’t secretly eat the phoenix eggs.
When she went out again, she saw that Feng Chen, the Little Despot, and the others had already returned.
Dao Wuji waved his hand at Qiao Mu and said with a smile, “Little Sister-in-Law, the people in the official mansion have pretty much fled.”
Qiao Mu nodded. She had Qiuqiu knock out Guan Zhaotang and the three thousand Anyi Prefecture guards before throwing them out again.
“Hm?” The Little Despot furrowed his brows as he looked up at the sky. “There are two rather strong presences heading over here.”
Everybody put up their guard.
Two white-haired elders were swiftly moving under the cover of night.
The next moment, they arrived before Qiao Mu and company.
Qiuqiu waved its small branches and whipped Guan Zhaotang’s body with a chuckle.
Guan Zhaotang woke up with a start. When he looked up and saw Anyi Prefecture’s two pundits[1.an expert in a particular subject or field who is frequently called upon to give their opinions to the public.] arrive, he nearly cried tears of joy and called out for help, but at that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his brain.
When he looked up and saw the ebony talisman Qiao Mu was holding, Guan Zhaotang immediately turned clear-headed. He lunged at the two pundits feet and wept, “The two seniors have come just in time. These friends have already chased away the enemies. Will the two seniors please pursue in that direction!”
The two Anyi Prefecture pundits creased their brows and looked in the direction that Guan Zhaotang was pointing.
How come they didn’t sense anyone over there?
Their hearts jolted when they surveyed Qiao Mu and company.
There were several people in this group of young men and women whose cultivation they could not see through.
The two pundits nodded toward Guan Zhaotang and pursued in the direction he had pointed without a word.
Only after seeing them leave did Qiao Mu and company slowly put down their guard.
Qiao Mu looked at Guan Zhaotang coldly. “Do what I have told you.”
“Yes.” Guan Zhaotang hung his head.
From what this miss said, Shuntian Prefecture’s prefecture lord should also be… one of her people?
It was truly unexpected that the two strongest territories in the Six Prefectures were actually under the control of an obscure little lady.
What a powerful personage!
Guan Zhaotang took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
Now that things had gotten to this point, he could only take one step at a time.
