The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Several people struggled for a long time at the foot of Danxue Mountain.

Inside the Demon Refining Tower, the nine-tailed fox gave up the Phoenix Pill.

She looked at Jiang Yingxue, her eyes flickering: "Little girl, I did everything you asked me to do, even gave you the Phoenix Pill, how do you plan to repay me?"

"Repay you?" Jiang Yingxue blinked, looking puzzled. "Did you get something wrong? This Phoenix Pill was never yours. I'm just returning it to its rightful owner. And you released the monster and slaughtered so many palace servants of Canglan Country. How could I possibly let you go?"

The nine-tailed fox was stunned. She had thought that the little girl was still young and could be coaxed into submission with a few words.

"I was just following what Lord Luo Wei said. It's not my fault. If I don't obey him, I will die."

"I understand." Jiang Yingxue nodded: "Then I will give you a big gift."

"what?"

"I'll kill Luo Wei for you."

When Jiang Yingxue came out of the Demon Refining Tower, the two goalkeepers had already begun to get impatient.

One of them said to the other, "I'm really ridiculous. I actually believed what a few humans said. Lord Qiu Yi has almost never left Danxue Mountain, so how can he have a bloodline? What a waste of our time!"

The other man also had complaints, but his temperament was calmer. Seeing Jiang Yingxue coming out, he quickly spread out his hands and asked, "Where's the evidence?"

"Here's the proof."

As she spoke, Jiang Yingxue slowly raised her hand, and an orange-red bead rose into the air. A faint glow of fire shimmered on the bead's surface, gleaming in the sunlight, as if a flame were dancing within.

The two goalkeepers' attention was instantly drawn to the scene. One of them widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Feng Dan!"

"Hurry! Hurry!" another goalkeeper urged excitedly, "It's indeed Feng Dan. Quickly notify Master Qiu Yi!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand and summoned a group of silver-armored gods out of thin air to surround Jiang Yingxue and her group.

Seeing this, Wan Jinan frowned and immediately said unhappily, "No, we helped you, why are you arresting people? What's the meaning?"

The goalkeeper sneered, his gaze sweeping across the crowd like a knife. "The Phoenix Pill is within the Phoenix's body. Extracting it requires suffering like hell. Your possession of the Phoenix Pill means that a Phoenix has been abused. We cannot treat you kindly until we understand your intentions."

He looked at the people behind him and said, "Take him away and go see Lord Qiu Yi."

The divine generals immediately stepped forward and escorted Jiang Yingxue and her group onto a Pegasus prison carriage.

Wan Jinan looked dissatisfied, muttering, "Good intentions are really not rewarded. I should have stayed out of this matter earlier."

Jiang Yingxue said, "I think it's okay. Although it's embarrassing to get on the prison van, it saves us the hardship of going up the mountain."

Yan Chuan added slowly, "And taking us directly to the Phoenix saves us the time of finding the way."

"Oh, you two are so in sync with each other, you seem to have a good understanding." Wan Jinan smiled and said, "It seems your personalities are really a good match. I never thought that one day the apprentice I raised would have a woman he likes."

"That's right. We almost thought he was going to become a homosexual." Chu Ying teased from the side.

Wan Jinan looked up at the sky. "Actually, I used to think Duan Ningning from the Fifth Peak was pretty good. She's beautiful, has a good family background, and is talented. At least before Yingxue came in, I thought she was the best woman on our peak. I think she's interested in Yan Chuan, and I was thinking of bringing them together, but Yan Chuan just ignored her. In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed. Time flies."

Wan Jinan looked at Yan Chuan and smiled like an old father: "It's great that the child has grown up."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Yan Chuan immediately lowered his head and replied.

Wan Jinan sighed and turned to look at Chu Ying: "Come to think of it, if they are successful, are you two successful too?"

Cen Yizhi's ears flushed when he heard this. But this time he spoke before Chu Ying: "We are engaged."

"Ah?" Wan Jinan was very surprised. How could this progress be faster than Yan Chuan's? "When did this happen?"

"It's been a while."

"Ah...so that's it..." Wan Jinan nodded.

He felt that he should not have missed any important activities of theirs. Several people were playing around right under his nose. When did it progress so fast?

While he was thinking, the prison van slowly drove to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there is a vast and boundless plain, as if a pure land has been opened up out of thin air between heaven and earth.

The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and occasionally the clear cry of a phoenix could be heard, stirring the heart and soul. In the center of this plain, a magnificent palace stood tall and majestic, as if born from the heavens and the earth.

The palace was built entirely of white jade, and the walls were carved with intricate phoenix patterns. Every pattern was lifelike, as if the phoenix would flap its wings and fly out from the wall at the next moment.

The prison car stopped steadily in front of the palace gate. As soon as they got off the car, they were shocked by the scene before them.

"Wow, what an angry pie."

"So white, so big, so spectacular." Chu Ying thought she was short of words, and these were the only few words she could think of at this moment.

The general coughed lightly, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Ordinarily, you should be thrown into the Heavenly Prison, awaiting Lord Qiu Yi's judgment, but you are lucky now. Lord Qiu Yi wants to see you right now. It's best if you haven't committed any crime, otherwise you will suffer."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jinan couldn't help but sigh and muttered in a low voice: "Divine beasts are so arrogant. They treat guests like this."

As soon as they stepped into the palace, they felt a strong spiritual energy coming towards them, as if they were in the spiritual vein of heaven and earth.

The interior of the palace was even more magnificent, with countless luminous pearls inlaid on the walls, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day. The floor was paved with mirror-smooth jade, and every step you took echoed with a clear sound.

Chu Ying, her hands tied behind her back, quickened her pace and approached Jiang Yingxue and said, "Yingxue, do you think I'd become rich if I took home a night-shining pearl?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded seriously: "Yes, but my life may be in danger."

Chu Ying shuddered. "That's right. We're being treated like criminals even though we didn't do anything. If we really confiscated his Night Pearl, who knows how he'd be punished."

The god led everyone through the main hall and came to a side hall.

Although it was a side hall, it was also extremely exquisite. Scrolls hung on the walls, and in the center of the room stood a carved jade table, upon which sat a bronze incense burner, burning with a faint, refreshing fragrance of sandalwood.

The few people did not expect that the ancient phoenix would actually take them to the side hall. After all, generally speaking, only private matters would be discussed in such a place.
