Luo Liya and Wukong stared at the Fire Phoenix in front of them in a daze. Their faces were filled with suspicion.

"Elder sister, what is this thing?"

"I don't know either …" It seemed like … Is it a mount? " Luo Liya guessed softly. Her brows wrinkled as she carefully sized up the pet in front of her with a curious expression on her face.

"Mount? Whose mount? "

"I don't know, but it must be some expert. I hope that expert can quickly appear." Loria looked around cautiously, but nothing happened for a long time.

"Senior, teacher, master …" Lolya called out in turn, but there was still silence.

At the same time, the fiery red "thing" suddenly moved, but it was not attacking Luo Liya or Wukong. Instead, it was approaching them. Its docile and obedient appearance gave Luo Liya the illusion that he was a Taotie.

He approached the two of them, then crouched down again, revealing his flat back. Even Wukong, who was always slow to react, seemed to understand what he was trying to do.

"Elder sister, he wants us to ride him."

Luo Liya also nodded, "Since we're here, then it's better to take care of it. Let's go up and give it a try."

"Alright elder sister, sit in front. I'll hug you from the back so that you won't fall down so easily."

Wu Kong's seemingly careless words made Luo Liya's heart warm. As soon as she sat down on the mount, a warm breath came from her back.

Luo Liya felt as if her entire body was tightly wrapped up, as if someone was seriously protecting her as if she was a fragile piece of glass. She immediately felt that Wu Kong was making a big fuss out of nothing. But the next moment, the horse started to move. The strong sense of bumpiness made Luo Liya have no time to think about the intimate contact between her and Wu Kong.

They traveled over mountains, lay down on water, and sometimes flew. This reminded Luo Liya of the time when she rode on the Scarlet Tailed Phoenix. It was the same feeling she had now.

"Elder sister. Sit on this... So much fun! " Wu Kong finally voiced out his thoughts. Even though he had grown a lot recently, he still had not reached the stage where he could understand much. Seeing the smoky scene in front of him, he was beyond excited.

Even Luo Liya's mood became a bit happier. She didn't know when she would be able to have a mount of her own. She also didn't know if the Taotie would be able to carry them on a cloud and travel between the mountains.

They arrived at their destination soon after they got excited on their mounts. After passing through layer after layer of mist, Luo Liya was finally able to clearly see the scene in front of her.

Their mounts gradually slowed down before finally landing on the ground. Luo Liya and Wu Kong's originally bumpy bodies also stabilized.

The two of them looked around curiously, and then they saw two figures with the demeanor of immortals.

Fang He was still the same as before, carefree and magnanimous with layers of heroic air carved between his eyebrows. The person next to him was much older than him. Although he looked healthy and energetic, the moment he opened his mouth, his true age was revealed.

Lolya smiled at the two and bowed to them.

"Teacher Fang He, Teacher Xu Shang, how have you been?"

Her voice was emotionless and even cold, but it was very formal and solemn. Wu Kong imitated them and greeted them.

"Seems like he hasn't forgotten who we are." Fang He said to Xu Shang with a smile, but Xu Shang did not answer. He only looked at the two of them with interest, and only sighed after a long while.

"If I wasn't seriously injured, I would have long taken action to see if your skills had improved!" Xu Shang's tone was full of melancholy, but Luo Liya and Wu Kong were surprised.

"Teacher is injured?" The two of them asked at the same time.

Hearing this, the smile on Xu Shang's face deepened, he turned to look at Fang He, "Look, if I don't tell them, they won't be able to tell, which means my injury is almost healed." It's time for you to leave as well. "

"The general is really joking, if the body of a soldier cannot be very clean, how would Fang He dare to leave?"

Fang He asked with a calm expression. What Yu Loulan and Wu Kong had said was like throwing a grenade at the center of a calm lake.

"Tooth River Teacher... "What did you call Teacher Xu Shang just now for?" Luo Liya was afraid that she had misheard. He hurriedly asked with a trembling voice.

Fang He didn't say anything, only staring at Xu Shang with a smile. Xu Shang stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at Fang He, his face full of helplessness. He sighed. "You, you did it on purpose."

"If you do not reveal your identity. You must use the children as an excuse for me to send them back. Am I really going to be so quiet? Senior General, since my master has sent me here to take good care of you, I will definitely not leave so easily. You should understand this very well. "

Although his words were somewhat flattering, his tone did not lack a lack of concern. Luo Liya and Wu Kong were stunned.

The "grown-up" at the mouth of the Tooth River must have been the current military officer of the Blue Water Nation. The fact that Tooth River had called Xu Shang a military officer was just a habit that had been formed a long time ago. Xu Shang was a former military officer of the Blue Water Nation, but why was he injured? Luo Liya thought of the war between the Blue Water Nation and the Fire Nation.

Although he did not manage to gain an advantage from Dong Li Zhen, he had made Dong Li Zhen fearful. It was likely that at that time, "Chang Wu You" was actually a disguise, why did they do that? Luo Liya didn't know, she could only guess at this point.

Seeing Luo Liya's pensive look, Xu Shang immediately knew that she had guessed more than half of it. With a sigh, he said to Fang He, "Take Wukong out for a stroll first. Whatever you want to do, I have something to talk about with Luo Liya."

This time, Fang He listened to Xu Shang, grabbed Wu Kong who was standing there dumbly, and lifted him up onto the back of the fiery red mount. He sat on it again, and before Wu Kong could even react, he was taken away by Fang He's slap on the rear end of the mount.

Luo Liya wanted to laugh out loud when she saw Wu Kong's confused look, but thinking that Xu Shang was still present, she suppressed her laughter and looked at him, "What does Teacher want to talk about with me?"

Xu Shang didn't say anything at first, just gazed at Luo Liya.

After staring at her for a long time, he finally opened his mouth, "Luo Liya, teacher has something to tell you."

"Is it about my teacher going to Hangzhou?" Xu Shang froze for a moment, a strange emotion rippling through his inky eyes.

"Looks like you're really smart. That's right, I'm the former prime minister of the Blue Water Nation. The older ones all know my identity, including your father. I lived in seclusion for over 10 years, but I didn't think that I would break my promise and come out." His face was maintained very well, not at all like an eighty-year-old person. But now, looking at it, those engraved wrinkles, those tired eyes, and the gray hair at his temples, all clearly indicated that he had passed too long, and could not live much longer.

He values you a lot and wants me to cultivate you. However, you and I both know in our hearts that you do not need my nurturing. You have your own cultivation method, and I can only give you some pointers.

Luo Liya remained silent, her eyes fixed on Xu Shang.

"Teacher, what is your purpose in saying these words?" "I don't mind telling you."

The corner of Xu Shang's mouth curved upwards, "I just wanted to ask you. Dong Ming is the only son of our Xu family, and he will bear the heavy responsibility of bringing glory to our family in the future. But if you are here …" "He will always be distracted. Can you please give him an end? In return, teacher will give you your teacher's most precious mental cultivation manual."

Luo Liya was completely stunned. So that was what she was aiming for after such a long time.

"Teacher, the matter between me and Fu Dongming is a matter between the two of us, and it is up to us to decide on what to do." Teacher, the matter between Fu Dongming and I is a matter between the two of us, and what to do is also a matter for us to decide on. Does Master think that I would be honored to have the former soldiers of the Clearwater Kingdom come to beg me for this matter? "

Luo Liya's tone was very cold. Her voice was like the frost in the winter. It made people's faces turn cold and their hearts turn cold.

Hearing her words, Xu Shang's face turned even more unsightly, "Luo Liya, I just don't want to directly say my goal for fear of hurting your heart, but you don't know what's good for you, and even ridiculed my teacher. Is that what you call respecting your teacher?" Is he considered to be a good student? " Xu Shang's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with a cold light.

"Since teacher said I was wrong, then I will be wrong. It's just that teacher's actions of not even telling Fu Dongming the truth and deciding his life, made Lori Ya feel that teacher was too despotic. I was originally here to visit Teacher Fang He and chat with him about old times, but who would have thought that because of Teacher Xu Shang, I didn't even have the mood to chat anymore. Teacher Luo Liya, I'll take my leave first. "

Just as Luo Liya was about to turn around and leave, Xu Shang pressed her shoulder down so that she couldn't move at all, only hearing Xu Shang speaking from behind her.

"Do you really think that I'm doing this only for my own family? The people of Fire Blaze Nation would not give up just like that. They will definitely come back. My Xu family is so loyal, don't tell me Fu Dongming's generation can only be an idiot? Luo Liya, can you think of the whole situation for the Blue Water Nation? "

Luo Liya was stunned for a moment, then stiffly said: "A girl's love is the same as being loyal to her country. There has never been a conflict between them, so I won't deliberately avoid Fu Dongming."

As Luo Liya finished speaking, she felt the hand holding her shoulder tighten. She could imagine Xu Shang's expression at this moment, but she couldn't bear to watch it.

"But I can guarantee to teacher that I will only have friendship with Dong Ming and no other feelings towards him. I will never have any relationship with him that should not have happened."

As soon as Luo Liya's voice fell, Xu Shang's hand was released, and a black shadow appeared in front of her. In the blink of an eye, Xu Shang had already changed forms and appeared in front of her.

"Being able to obtain such a promise from you is already enough. As for Dong Ming, I will naturally have a good talk with him."

"Then I'll be counting on teacher. I know that my teacher was forced into a corner by helplessness. My attitude towards my teacher wasn't good earlier on, so I apologize to you. Please forgive me, but … " "I know what Dong Ming thinks of me, but I don't want to have any response. I only have feelings for him between friends, and if teacher can make him give up, it would be a good thing for him."
