Return of the Phoenix Lady

Upon hearing this, Long Xuri widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Han Xing.

Although this young man seemed to give him a sense of déjà vu, he had indeed never seen such a... uh... handsome young man.

Seeing that Long Xuri still looked as if he didn't recognize him, Han Xing deliberately said unhappily: "Ah... It's a waste that I have been thinking about you all these years, and you actually..."

Upon hearing this, the big man and the man in green robe widened their eyes in surprise, looking at Long Xuri and then at Han Xing in surprise, as if they had figured out something fishy.

Long Xuri felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, so he glared at her and said sternly, "What are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll be rude to you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Hanyun had no choice but to move closer to Long Xuri and whisper in his ear: "Master, actually... he is not dead!"

"What? Who are you talking about?" Long Xuri's mind was a little slow to react and he said in a daze.

"It's my brother." Liu Hanyun pointed out again.

"Oh, your brother...what? What did you say? Your brother? He's not dead? Say it again! Say it again! He's really not dead?" Long Xuri suddenly became agitated and asked while grabbing Liu Hanyun desperately.

Liu Hanyun looked helplessly at Long Xuri, who usually wouldn't panic even if the sky fell, but was now shaking him so excitedly. He glanced at Han Xing, who was beside him, looking angry and amused, and said again with difficulty: "Yes... yes... he's not dead... he's really not dead!... Master... stop shaking! Your disciple won't be able to bear it if you keep shaking him!"

Hearing Liu Hanyun's confirmation, Long Xuri finally stopped his disguised violence against Liu Hanyun. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes sparkling as he said, "I knew it! How could such a smart child just disappear like this? Haha! That's great! That's great! Haha... By the way, Yun'er, where is he now? I'm going to find him!"

Liu Hanyun sighed inwardly. Where had his usually astute master disappeared? How could he not even figure out such a question? "So far away, yet so close before our eyes."

"What? You mean..." Long Xuri didn't finish his words, but his eyes drifted to Han Xing. Obviously, he finally remembered Han Xing who had been left aside for a long time.

"Brother, you really make me sad!" Han Xing sighed sadly.

"You...you...Xingdi? Is it really you? Xingdi?" Long Xuri said in surprise. No wonder this young man gave him a familiar feeling. So that's it!

"Then how can I prove it so that Big Brother will believe it?"

Long Xuri just looked at Han Xing, the smile on his face growing bigger and bigger. Finally, he couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged Han Xing in his arms before everyone could react.

"Haha! I knew it! You won't die so easily! Haha!" Long Xuri hugged Han Xing happily, and forgot to control his strength in his excitement.

Han Xing said with difficulty, between his bronze chest and iron arms, "Big... Big Brother, if you don't let go... you'll send me straight to hell!"

Long Xuri immediately let go of Han Xing. Seeing Han Xing's face flushed with laughter, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Xingdi, I'm so sorry. I'm so happy. Are you okay? But, Xingdi, your body is too weak. You need to strengthen it! As a man who stands tall and proud, a body like this will make people laugh!"

Han Xing just smiled and said nothing, and had no intention of making the fact that she was disguised as a man public.

Long Xuri still looked excited and said, "Brother Xing, why are you here? And how did you escape death? You must tell your big brother!" Then he looked at Liu Hanyun with displeasure and said, "Yun'er, why didn't you tell the master earlier that brother Xing was not dead?" The speed at which his expression changed was astonishing.

"Master, I just found out about this. Isn't it too late to tell you?" Liu Hanyun said with a look of "grievance".

"Brother, don't blame Brother Yun. He really just found out. How about this! You come with me to the Mu Palace to have some fun, and I can tell you in detail about my experiences over the years." Han Xing winked at Mu Juetian, and waited for his agreement before inviting him.

Seeing this, the green-robed man said excitedly, "Brother, I've never been to the palace before! Hurry up and agree! This is a great opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xuri pondered for a moment and said, "Third Brother, you acted rashly and even participated in a rebellion before, so you can't go. Second Brother, to make amends, you stay and watch over Third Brother. Don't let him do anything foolish again! Yun'er and I will go to the palace."

"Brother, why..." The man in green robe wanted to say something else, but was glared at by Long Xuri, and was suddenly speechless, with deep resentment in his eyes.

"Yes, big brother, I understand." The big man lowered his head and said obediently.

"Well, okay, Xingdi, let's go!"

"Okay." Han Xing responded, and suddenly turned around and said, "Mei Ye, come too!" Mei Ye nodded.

After saying that, the five of them left Mei Ye Tower.

Leaving behind him were a man in green robe with an unwilling look on his face and a big man with a helpless look on his face.

When Han Xing and his group arrived at the Wooden Palace, the main group had not returned yet.

So, the four of them followed Mu Juetian all the way into the magnificent and elegant Mu Kingdom Palace without any obstruction.

Not long after entering the palace, a team of well-trained guards came out to greet him. They knelt before Mu Juetian, and the head guard said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please return to the palace!"

"Please stand up. These are all my friends. Please serve them well." Mu Juetian said.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Well, let's go down."

"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!" Then the head guard led the guards away.

"It's getting late today, let's all go and have our meal first! After the meal, go and have a rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. How about that?" Mu Juetian suggested.

"Yeah." Han Xing nodded, and naturally the others had no objections.

At night, after enjoying the royal delicacies, Han Xing returned to the residence given to her by Mu Juetian with satisfaction.

However, this was originally supposed to be where the emperor's concubines lived, but Mu Juetian had not yet appointed any concubines, so these residences had been idle. Today they were put to use.

Not long after, Han Xing's sensitive hearing caught two very subtle footsteps.

Sure enough, the door was soon pushed open, and the people who came in were Long Xuri with an impatient look on his face and Liu Hanyun with a wry smile on his face.

Han Xing held the teapot in his hand and poured three cups of tea. He took one of the cups, took a sip, and said casually, "Sit down and have some tea."

"Xingdi Xingdi! Tell me something..." Before Long Xuri could finish his words, the door was opened again.

It was Liu Hanyang and Jin Yifeng, who were both covered in dust.

Liu Hanyang glanced at Long Xuri and Liu Hanyun in surprise, then looked at Han Xing with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

He frowned slightly and said to Long Xuri, "Captain Long, Xing'er has had a lot of things happen today. Let him rest for a while now. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else."

"This..." Long Xuri then noticed that Han Xing seemed to be really tired, and said apologetically: "Brother Xing, I'm sorry! I didn't notice that you were tired. I will come to see you tomorrow, so you should have a good rest!" After that, he pulled Liu Hanyun away.

Jin Yifeng glanced at Liu Hanyang and said goodbye to Han Xing, "Have a good rest, I'm leaving." Han Xing nodded.

"Brother Yang, you..." Before Han Xing could finish her words, Liu Hanyang quickly said, "Xing'er, take a rest! We can talk about it tomorrow!" After that, he left in a hurry.

Han Xing stared blankly at Liu Hanyang's fleeing figure, puzzled...
