Chapter 1696: Face-slapping, Round 5 (6)

The horse nodded. “Yes, she’s very talented and very hardworking. She gained the sect master’s favor by working very studiously. All the senior and junior brothers of the sect like to be around her as well.”

Feng Wu tilted her head and gave it some thought.

She was at least one of the best cultivators among people of her age, if not the best.

“Are you sure she’s from the Junwu Empire?”

The horse was very certain. “Yes! I’ve never set foot outside the Junwu Empire!”

Feng Wu rubbed her chin. “That’s strange. She’s more amazing than me and belongs to a sect…”

“She doesn’t like red dresses like you do, all fancy and s.h.i.+ny. She’s unapproachable and graceful. She wears blue all the time, and she looks almost otherworldly.” The horse recalled its good old days.

A Spiritual Lord, a popular disciple in her sect, and she wore blue with an ethereal air to her… Feng Wu had a candidate for that.

But could it be such a coincidence?!

Feng Wu looked at the horse. “Don’t tell me she has True Phoenix Blood.”

The horse suddenly turned its head and stared at Feng Wu in astonishment. “How do you know that?!”

“How do I know?”

Feng Wu didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “How can I not know? She was the one who destroyed my True Phoenix Blood back then and rendered me useless. How can I not know?”

She just didn’t expect that it would be such a coincidence. This used to be her horse.

The horse stopped suddenly and looked back at Feng Wu. “Are… are you telling the truth?”

Feng Wu smiled wryly. “What do you think?”

The horse lowered its head. “So… I wasn’t the first one she betrayed.”

Feng Wu chuckled. “No, you weren’t the first, and you definitely won’t be the last.”

She wanted to ask what Zuo Qingluan had done to turn it into such a self-castigating creature.

But seeing the horse’s sad expression, Feng Wu knew that she had to let it think through things itself.

But how interesting… It had never occurred to Feng Wu that it would be Zuo Qingluan.

There was silence after that.

Even the air felt still.

Just then, Feng Wu felt something land on her shoulder. She laughed when she saw what it was.

Little Phoenix was back.

For as long as Feng Wu could remember, Little Phoenix had always been conscious of its appearance. According to the bird itself, it was a graceful, respectable, and n.o.ble bird. How could it be as filthy as the rest of the stupid birds?

Therefore, Little Phoenix had always kept itself well-groomed, and preened all the time.

But now…

Poor bird. It was covered in blood from all its wounds and its precious feathers were all dishevelled; it looked like it had been through a hurricane.

“Are you alright?” Feng Wu patted the bird.

Little Phoenix looked from Feng Wu to the horse and couldn’t believe its eyes. “What are you doing? Why aren’t you running? Are you waiting for that man and the Demon Chimpanzee to kill you?!”

Feng Wu chuckled. She didn’t give an answer and only pointed at the cliff.

Little Phoenix had a look and was surprised. It then stared at Feng Wu in disbelief. “Are they fighting?”

Feng Wu nodded.

Little Phoenix looked surprised. “The villains are fighting each other?”
