On the second night, the Mystic Moon capital's lamps would be bustling with noise and excitement. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, dazzling to the point that one couldn't see the end of them.
Su Xiruo and Rong Yu travelled through the crowd, passing by each other. Even until the wee hours of the morning, the entire capital was still brightly lit and bustling with activity. When the two arrived at the riverbank, many people had their water lamps lit up.
"Xiruo, let's go put one on too." Rong Yu was still in high spirits as he pulled Xi Ruo's small hand.
In the next second, as if she had been electrocuted, Xi Ruo released his hand, and a mocking and disdainful voice rang out in her ears.
"The Poison Sovereign is truly enjoying itself. It took me so long to get a new partner."
Su Xiruo raised his head and looked over, to see that Xuan Qing was standing not far from her, with a face full of anger.
It was unknown whether this water flower girl had broken off completely with the guild leader, but she had gotten a new partner so quickly.
"Oi, don't spout nonsense. I forbid you from slandering Xiruo!" Rong Yu frowned and retorted coldly.
Xuan Qing glanced at Rong Yu, and snorted coldly: "Heh, I think it's better for you to stay far away from this kind of woman with water attribute."
"Shut up!" Rong Yu interrupted him and said, "I just like Xiruo, no matter what she is like, I like her the same. Can you control it?"
"You …"
At this time, Su Xiruo did not get angry, but laughed, and said leisurely: "Chief Protector, you are being really lenient, the things that I have on my hands have not been resolved, right? How do you have the time to teach me a lesson? "
She could probably guess, that Xuan Qing had probably come for the Mercenary Guild, and also, that it was Yun Qian who had possibly sent him.
"What does it have to do with you?" Xuan Qing scoffed.
"I just wanted to remind you that Mo Yu is not in Mercenary Guild, so you shouldn't spend so much effort to run over to the Mercenary Guild to find someone." Su Xiruo's tone was cold and aloof, but he was also reminding her with good intentions, "It might be better to look for another place, for example, the Imperial Palace!"
Although this woman was a little infuriating, Xuan Qing did not miss her words.
But on the surface, Xuan Qing still maintained a look of indifference: "Why are you telling me this?"
Indeed, before he came to the Profound Yin Empire, the President had told him not to alert the enemy, and that it would be best if he could catch Mo Yu off guard, and that Mo Yu might not even be in the Mercenary Guild!
"I was just casually saying that. What I should do is still up to you. Don't believe me, a woman who broke the bridge after crossing it." Su Xiruo smiled, then threw down his words. He opened his mouth and called Rong Yu, "Rong Yu, let's go to the water lamps."
"Alright." Rong Yu glared at Xuan Qing, and happily followed Su Xiruo and left.
Xuan Qing looked at Su Xiruo's back and felt that this woman was weird, he couldn't even tell if she was good or bad.
"Xiruo, that guy just now was truly depressing. His original good mood was completely ruined." As he walked to the side of the water, Rong Yu still did not forget what happened.
"Whatever, that great protector is also anxious to protect his master. I won't bother with him anymore." Su Xiruo seemed to not care at all. He lit the water lamp in his hand, placed it into the river and deliberately changed the topic. "Come, make a wish."
Rong Yu slightly nodded his head, closed his eyes, and silently expressed his wish in the bottom of his heart. Su Xiruo stared at the water lamp that had disappeared in the distance, lost in thought for a long time, and suddenly, his vision became a little blurry.
Suddenly, a movement came from the water, Su Xiruo frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
The shaking got stronger and stronger, and in the next second, a water monster suddenly came out from the river, with a Spiritual Strength of Yin and Evil, it spat out a flood and instantly drowned countless people on the shore.
Suddenly, screams of panic could be heard incessantly. The crowd that was passing by were fleeing in all directions. The originally warm lantern festival had turned bloody and cruel in an instant.
"There's actually a Vicious Beasts here." Su Xiruo's finger bones tightened into a ball as doubts arose in his heart.
"Mermaid race." Rong Yu muttered to himself, and immediately recognized that the Vicious Beasts should have come from the Mermaid s.
Seeing the river of blood flowing, Rong Yu and Xiruo were just about to attack when a long sword suddenly cut through the air. The fierce Sword Qi imprisoned the Vicious Beasts and then, it pierced through their hearts and killed the Vicious Beasts.
"It's General Qingmo!"
"The imperial palace's army is coming …"
Although he did not understand who had acted, but hearing the intermittent discussions from the crowd, Su Xiruo vaguely knew that it was the people from the imperial government who had acted to suppress them.
He saw a black-clothed general with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes appear by the river bank. He put away the weapon that had just killed the Vicious Beasts, and the surrounding commoners all knelt down to kowtow and thank him. They were all probably frightened.
"Everyone, do not panic. This Vicious Beasts's appearance is truly strange. It's a good thing that this general is patrolling here today." "It's already settled. This general will bring the Vicious Beasts's corpse back to report to His Majesty!"
Finished speaking, Qingmo raised his hand and released the Spiritual Strength, collecting the Vicious Beasts's corpse into his own Storage Ring and disappearing from everyone's line of sight.
Instantly, the crowd started cheering and cheering. They were probably rejoicing that General Qing Mo made his move, otherwise, blood would probably flow like a river tonight.
Su Xiruo scoffed, but it seemed like he could see through the little trick they had just played. "Heh, this self-directed play by the imperial government is really exciting!"
"Xiruo, are you saying … Was this designed by the imperial government? " Rong Yu did not quite understand what she meant.
"That's right."
Su Xiruo did not explain much, but he was confident that all of this was planned by the emperor himself.
That Mermaid just now was just a Six Rank Spiritual Beast. The emperor had intentionally made the Profound Yin Empire appear as well, pretending that he was also a victim so that the other three empires would no longer be suspicious.
Furthermore, the imperial government had personally taken action to suppress the Vicious Beasts. This had stabilized the hearts of the people.
But regarding this matter, Su Xiruo did not have the time to worry about it. Turning his head, he said to Rong Yu: "The two agreed days are already over, should you obediently let me send you back to the Phoenix Clan?"
Rong Yu curled his lips. It was obvious that he was unwilling, as he looked at Su Xiruo pitifully. "Xiruo, I haven't had enough fun in the capital yet.
"Rong Yu, if you don't keep your promise, next time, I won't bring you out." Su Xiruo pretended to threaten him, probably thinking, Phoenix Clan Clan Master, he must be anxious and anxious!
"No, no, no!" Rong Yu immediately shook his head.
"Then keep your promise and go back to the Phoenix Clan. I'll bring you out again after a few days." The corner of Su Xiruo's mouth raised slightly, and once again, changed the topic.
Rong Yu lowered his head and reluctantly agreed. "Alright then."
Then, he grabbed Su Xiruo's arm. "Then, come with me.
"Alright, then I'll pay a visit to the Phoenix Clan Clan Patriarch as well." Su Xiruo readily agreed.
Phoenix Clan realm.
Rong Mo was pacing inside the great hall, and his anxious mood seemed as if he was about to collapse.
A disciple came in, and Rong Mo asked coldly: "Is there still no trace of the Youngest Prince?"
"Reporting to clan leader, no!"
Rong Mo curled his fingers tightly: "Go look again! What a group of trash, we can't even find a single Little Phoenix! "
"Yes sir!" Realizing that the Patriarch was truly angry, that disciple did not dare to breathe loudly and hurriedly turned around to leave.
Just then, another disciple came in, but before he could speak, Rong Mo had already lost his patience: "This sovereign asked you to find His Highness, if you failed to find him, stop bothering this sovereign!"
"Patriarch." The disciple trembled as he said, "Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has come to pay you a visit, you … Do you want to see it? "
"What?" That little clan leader … have you personally come to visit the Phoenix Clan? " Rong Mo regained his senses, as though he did not know what to do, "Hurry and invite them!"
He had originally planned to bring Rong Yu to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and pay a visit to the little patriarch. It was because Rong Yu had gone missing for two or three days before he was able to delay the matter.
He did not expect that the little Patriarch would personally pay a visit to his Phoenix Clan. It could be said that he was very sincere, and since Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had taken the initiative to visit, he definitely could not treat Yun Che unfairly.
