2228 Replacement
Mu Yafeng was furious!
She had been in Fantasy Divine Palace for many years and had always been an existence that everyone envied and admired. When had anyone ever said that her talent was low?!
However, it was Chu Liuyue who said it. No matter how much she didn’t want to admit it, she knew that she was slightly inferior to the other party. Therefore, even though she was filled with anger and unwillingness when she heard this, she was in no position to refute.
Mu Yafeng laughed in anger. “Yes. Compared to Miss Shangguan, my little talent is indeed not worth mentioning. But so what? Without a bloodline totem, it’s impossible for you to stay in Fantasy Divine Palace! That is even more unattainable!”
“You don’t have to worry about that, Miss Mu.” Chu Liuyue’s red lips curled up, and she gave a gentle and sincere smile.”At the very least, during this period of time, I’ll still help Zhen Bao Pavilion replicate the Xuan formations well. As for the rest, I’ll just walk day by day. Some things can’t be forced, so why make things difficult for yourself? It’s better to accept it.”
Mu Yafeng choked.
“On the other hand, Miss Mu, if you have the time and energy to take advantage of the situation, why don’t you go back and study more Xuan formations? It might be more useful. Of course, if you really can’t understand it, it can only prove that the Fantasy Divine Hall is also out of reach for you.”
Chu Liuyue stood up and sent the guest off. “Miss Mu, please…”
Mu Yafeng stood up with a whoosh, her eyes burning. “Shangguan Yue, you’ll regret your choice today!”
Chu Liuyue didn’t seem to hear her threat and warning. She smiled faintly and said, “I just walked around the lightning pool. I’m a little tired, so I won’t send you off.”
Mu Yafeng was speechless. She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.
Si Jing was standing in the courtyard. When he saw Mu Yafeng leave with a livid expression, he was a little confused. What is wrong with Miss Mu? Wasn’t she very polite when she came just now? Why did her expression change in the blink of an eye?
Chu Liuyue said, “If she comes in the future, you don’t have to open the door.”
Si Jing hurriedly replied, “Yes!”
Chu Liuyue raised her brows. However, it is very likely that she won’t come again.
She looked around. “Where’s Little Zhou?”
I don’t seem to have seen him since I returned. According to his personality, he doesn’t seem to go out casually.
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared outside the door—it was Qiang Wanzhou.
He lowered his head slightly, as if in a daze.
“Little Zhou?” Chu Liuyue raised her voice.
Qiang Wanzhou came back to his senses and looked up.
Chu Liuyue saw that he was adrift and felt a little strange. “Where did you go?”
Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment and agreed. Ever since they arrived, the few of them had indeed not gone out much.
“You always said you had a headache before. Are you feeling better now?”
Qiang Wanzhou nodded. “Much better.”
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up. “That’s good. We don’t know how long we’ll be staying here. You don’t have to think too much; just do your own thing.”
Qiang Wanzhou nodded and entered the house again. He then took a piece of cloth and started to tidy up.
Chu Liuyue wanted to say that this place was quite clean and didn’t need to be cleaned. However, her intuition told her that Qiang Wanzhou seemed to be a little uneasy, so she didn’t speak.
He had his own way of dealing with it.
Chu Liuyue thought for a while and shouted to the other room, “Cen Yi, come here.”
Cen Yi came over very quickly. “Master, why did you call me here?”
Chu Liuyue raised her hand and set up a barrier to block the sound and ensure that no one outside could hear their conversation. Then, she came to Cen Yi and directly said, “Cen Yi, I want to enter the lightning pool and save someone.”
Cen Yi’s narrow and indifferent eyes narrowed slightly. A moment later, he asked, “Master went over there previously because of this?”
Chu Liuyue wasn’t surprised that he had guessed it. She nodded slightly. “Senior Yi Zhao is trapped in the depths of the lightning pool and is strictly guarded by the Fourth Deity. I’m afraid it’s extremely difficult to save him. I wonder if you have any ideas?”
Cen Yi was silent for a while. “With the strength of Clan Leader Yi Zhao, the person who can bring him here and lock him up mustn’t be underestimated. Furthermore, the relevant defenses must be extremely complicated. It is indeed not easy to save him silently and without attracting anyone’s attention.”
Chu Liuyue sighed. “I know. It’s just—”
However, it was indeed impossible for her to watch helplessly.
Yi Zhao was cold and arrogant. Back then, he had even threatened her to terminate the contract with Tuan Zi. But in all fairness, he was indeed very good to Tuan Zi.
In the end, he even started to love her. On account of Tuan Zi, he had helped her a lot.
She would always remember this kindness.
Now that the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan was in trouble, Yi Zhao must’ve paid a huge price to protect many clansmen at Godly Phoenix Mountain.
And he himself had fallen to such a state.
No matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
“In that case, you have no solution?”
Cen Yi shook his head. “I do have a method, but it’s a little troublesome.”
Chu Liuyue’s eyes lit up. “What method? Tell me about it first.”
As long as there is a method, I have to try first to know if it is okay.
Cen Yi’s glabella moved slightly, and he said, “Any mechanism has a way to be broken; it’s just that the difficulty is different. The key to this matter is that once Clan Leader Yi Zhao escapes, he will definitely be discovered.”
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. This was what gave her the greatest headache.
“That’s right. Previously, I only went closer and took a look at Senior Yi Zhao before attracting the Fourth Deity.”
Cen Yi said, “Actually, it’s not difficult to solve this problem: As long as we find a substitute, we can change the situation in the chaos.”
A white light suddenly flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind. “You mean…”
“As long as it’s fake enough, this plan will work.”
Chu Liuyue instantly understood what Cen Yi meant.
First, she would muddy the waters, then take advantage of the chaos to save him and replace him with a fake. As long as she could fool those people, nothing would be discovered.
This was indeed a solution, but it was extremely difficult to implement.
“Where can we find a substitute for Senior Yi Zhao? He’s the clan leader of the red-gold heavenly phoenixes.” Chu Liuyue fell into deep thought and frowned.
The aura of every member of the red-gold heavenly phoenix race was unique and irreplaceable, not to mention Yi Zhao, the clan leader. How could anyone in this world pretend to be him?
“Actually, the problem of appearance is very easy to resolve. The key is aura.” Cen Yi said, “The main reason why Clan Leader Yi Zhao is special is that he’s the only person in the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan who has opened the seventh meridian. If a portion of his blood and qi can be separated from his body, it can be faked.”
Chu Liuyue rubbed her temples and sighed. “I’m afraid not. He’s locked up there, and I can’t get close at all, let alone anything else.”
Cen Yi looked at her quietly. “There’s a second way: Find another red-gold heavenly phoenix that has opened its seventh meridian.”
