The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Ye Jingzhan looked a little strange. "Missing? Are you sure this isn't a trick to fool children? If it were true, the mayors of the various branch cities would have reported it to the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms long ago."

Jiang Xu waved his hand. "Who knows? But I think this might really be a trick to fool children. After all, if someone really went missing, with the speed of news spreading nowadays, it would have caused a lot of uproar long ago. And from what I know, it seems that those girls who went missing before have returned later."

Ye Jingzhan pursed his lips slightly, "Then why are you telling us all this in such a mysterious way?"

Jiang Xu suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand. Even though the weather had already turned cold, he still fanned himself gently, "Hehe, just to scare you guys."

At this moment, an extremely joyful and excited voice was heard, "Ahhh! My idol! Long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Ning Jiahe ran towards Ye Wanqing with his arms open, intending to hug her tightly, but Jiang Xu blocked her way with a folding fan. Facing Ning Jiahe's displeased look, he just waved his hand.

"My master said, don't try this. My master doesn't like people to get close to him, so you should stay away from him."

"Tsk, I don't even want to bother with you." Ning Jiahe turned around, her eyes sparkling with stars. "Hehe, idol, tomorrow is my birthday. I specially came here to invite you to my birthday party. I hope you can come."

Ye Wanqing didn't have anything to do tomorrow, so she just nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly remembered what Jiang Xu had just said. An ambiguous look appeared in her eyes, and she spoke casually, "Jiang Xu said that girls have been disappearing in the Three Kingdoms recently. Has this happened in the Xinghui Kingdom's Imperial City? Have you heard about it?"

Ning Jiahe paused. "Missing? No, I haven't heard of it. Everyone has spiritual power to protect themselves. If someone really went missing, it would have spread a long time ago. Besides, a spiritual power battle would also attract other people's attention. Jiang Xu, where did you hear this news?"

Jiang Xu shrugged. "It's just some gossip I heard recently when I was training in the Spirit Beast Forest. It's probably just a rumor, Master. Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

Ye Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. "Nothing, I was just asking."

Seeing that Ning Jiahe seemed to be looking for something, Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows, "Hey, little girl, what are you looking for?"

Ning Jiahe ignored Jiang Xu and instead looked at Ye Wanqing shyly, her expression a bit embarrassed. "By the way, idol, I heard that Crown Prince Su is here too. Um, idol, could you please invite Crown Prince Su to attend my birthday party despite his busy schedule?"

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly, "Prince Su is right there, you can talk to him yourself."

Ning Jiahe was startled and turned around. Sure enough, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night. However, she saw that Su Shaohuai's eyes were only looking at Ye Wanqing beside her. A hint of gloom flashed across her face.

But Ning Jiahe still walked forward and breathed a sigh of relief, "Prince Su, tomorrow is my birthday. I hope you can also come to my humble home. Oh, by the way, everyone is here, including Sister Wan."

Without waiting for Su Shaohuai's response, he quickly turned around with a nervous look on his face, "My idol, everyone, it's settled then. See you tomorrow night. I look forward to seeing you all."

After Ning Jiahe left, Jiang Xu spoke quietly, looking at Su Shaohuai with a hint of sarcasm.

"Tsk tsk, a young girl's thoughts are truly hidden. Prince Su has so many female confidantes. I really admire him."

Facing Jiang Xu's sarcastic ridicule, Su Shaohuai's eyes were calm, "Young Master Jiang, why should you belittle yourself? Everyone in the entire Cangkong Continent knows that the Young Master of the Jiang family is cynical and has a pair of peach blossom eyes that have seen countless men and attracted many girls to fall in love with him."

Jiang Xu was startled and subconsciously glanced at Ye Wanqing beside him. Seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved. "Stop talking nonsense. I'm a clean and honest man. Stop accusing me of these things."

"Huh, each other."

This was the first time that Su Shaohuai did not maintain a gentle expression in front of the outside world.

Ye Wanqing, who was standing aside, obviously didn't know why they were so hostile, but she didn't care. The best way for men to resolve things was to have a fight, and then they would behave themselves.

After Ye Wanqing and Ye Jingzhan left, the strange atmosphere between the two became more intense.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know how you feel about Master. You'd better put an end to that inappropriate feeling of yours as soon as possible. Master won't be attracted to you."

The expression in Su Shaohuai's eyes did not change. Instead, when he heard Jiang Xu's words, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and his usual gentle appearance was no longer there.

"Thoughts I shouldn't have? Ha, no matter what, I'm the Phoenix Son of Heaven, and Wanwan is the Dragon Girl of Heaven. We've been childhood sweethearts and grew up together. And as Wanwan's apprentice, what kind of dirty thoughts do you harbor?"

Jiang Xu was startled and took a step back, muttering to himself, "No, no, I... didn't... I didn't."

Thinking of what might happen soon, Su Shaohuai's heart moved. Looking at Jiang Xu, whose expression was obviously a little broken, he sighed softly. He turned around and looked at the flying snow all over the sky, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face.

"Jiang Xu, you and I have never been enemies, and there's no need for you to be so hostile to me. You know full well that there's no difference between us. No matter which of us it is, Wanwan only considers us close friends, nothing more."

"Besides, no matter what, we all share a common goal, which is to protect her safely, right? You have to understand that Wanwan's future enemies will be far more than ordinary. It would be foolish for the two of us to fight among ourselves."

Jiang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. His expression suddenly became a little excited. "Do you know something already? Tell me quickly."

But Su Shaohuai shook his head and said nothing. He just patted Jiang Xu's shoulder gently as he approached him. "You have half the blood of the ancient mythical beast, the mermaid. Practice well. This will be our only way."
