Chapter 1894: Chapter 1892:
Mrs. Leng smiled as she looked at the two intelligent Divine Beasts. Suddenly, her expression changed; she hurriedly squatted beside the White Wolf. On the wolf’s back, there was a small spot that seemed scorched. She frowned and sniffed carefully. This should be the Spiritual Fire of the Phoenix Clan.
But that can’t be right. How could the White Wolf’s fur be burned by the Phoenix Clan’s Spiritual Fire?
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao came over with the two children after washing up.
They all got up late today, and it was already past nine in the morning. If they didn’t have breakfast soon, it would be lunchtime.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit embarrassed. Seeing Mrs. Leng had already prepared breakfast in the kitchen, she was about to speak when Xiao Bai swiped at her foot and communicated through her consciousness, "Qiaoqiao, last night, outside Chu Chengfeng’s new house, there was a peculiar person emitting a green fire. She wanted to do something bad but was discovered by us. Then she ran away, and we couldn’t find her whereabouts."
"What exactly happened?" On a sunny day, upon hearing this news, Gu Qiaoqiao’s embarrassed expression disappeared instantly.
Xiao Bai recounted what had happened last night to Gu Qiaoqiao, but there wasn’t much useful information. It was only when it was lying with Xiao Bai in the courtyard that it sensed something amiss about the aura around Chu Chengfeng’s new house, prompting them to rush over and find a mysterious shadow releasing green fire to burn the barrier of the new house.
The Spiritual Fire was quite formidable, and it seemed ready to destroy the barrier when it sensed their presence. The mysterious shadow then fled, escaping too swiftly.
It had never seen anything disappearing as quickly as this, almost like a ghost.
Just then, Gu Qiaoqiao called from the kitchen, "Qiaoqiao, come quickly and take a look..."
What could it be now?
Gu Qiaoqiao hurried over, followed closely by Xiao Bai.
Once in the kitchen, Gu Qiaoqiao noticed Mrs. Leng’s serious and somber expression. She pointed to a spot on the White Wolf’s back, "This is burned by Phoenix Clan’s Spiritual Fire. It’s not severe, just a patch of fur tips, but this shouldn’t happen."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked down, and it was indeed scorched by the Phoenix Clan’s Spiritual Fire. Since the White Wolf was no longer the same as before, having reached the Phoenix Clan Divine Land and drawing from the abundant Spiritual Energy, it had become a Third Order Spirit Beast. Ordinary wildfires couldn’t harm it.
Fortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao already knew about this, so she explained the shadow found by Xiao Bai and White Wolf last night to Mrs. Leng.
"Green Spiritual Fire?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Leng’s face turned pale, as if she was frightened.
Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "Mrs. Leng, have you remembered something?"
"Qiaoqiao, come with me to see Elder Sima. The green Spiritual Fire in the Phoenix Clan was once only used by the former deceased Wife of the Old Clan Chief."
"Wife of the Old Clan Chief?"
Gu Qiaoqiao was shocked. Sima Xiaowen had once told her of the grievances between her and Chu Chengfeng, though not in detail, she knew the basics. She also knew that the Wife of the Old Chief was actually his stepmother but had been killed by Chu Chengfeng himself. As for the color of the Spiritual Fire, Sima Xiaowen never mentioned it, and she didn’t know.
Instinctively, Gu Qiaoqiao sensed danger, recalling the strange aura she detected last night in the mountains. She frowned slightly and whispered, "Don’t panic. The enemy is hidden while we are exposed; panicking won’t help."
Mrs. Leng’s expression gradually calmed down. She nodded and said, "Let’s eat first, then we will go find the elders to discuss."
At this moment, Qin Yize had already brought the two children to the dining room. After breakfast, Gu Qiaoqiao whispered to Qin Yize, "Ah Ze, it seems someone has infiltrated the Phoenix Clan, harboring malicious intent towards Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen."
Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and calmly said, "Qiaoqiao, if it involves the grievances of the Phoenix Clan, we should not interfere."
"I understand that." Gu Qiaoqiao assured quickly.
Since it was a personal grievance, Gu Qiaoqiao certainly had no reason to meddle in the internal affairs of the Phoenix Clan, just like the issue with Liu Ling before, which had to be handled back in the Divine Land.
She undoubtedly understood this.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Leng had already gone to find Elder Sima, and Qin Yize was playing with the two children in the courtyard.
Gu Qiaoqiao cast him a glance, "Ah Ze, do you know something?"
"Qiaoqiao, I have an instrument that can scan creatures within a hundred-mile radius, but the elders in the clan might not agree to use it."
"Maybe last night was just an accident." Gu Qiaoqiao still hoped for the best, considering Chu Chengfeng and Sister Xiao Wen’s recent joyful wedding.
"It might not be an accident. When I went jogging earlier, I found a particular place very strange. I can say it was like the world you mentioned where Sima Xiaowen and Chu Chengfeng once stayed."
"Where is it? Can you take me to see it?" Gu Qiaoqiao seemed anxious.
Qin Yize looked her over, "I’ve already checked it out with my instrument; there were no humans, just a pile of rocks. Still, the instrument indicated that humans once lived in the cave, but their gender and age are indeterminable."
Gu Qiaoqiao was genuinely curious this time. She examined Qin Yize, then reached out her hand, trying to grope his pocket.
Qin Yize helplessly caught her hand, chuckling, "The kids are here, no need to be so handsy."
Unexpectedly, Da Bao and Xiao Bei covered their eyes, and Xiao Bei said coquettishly, "Daddy, Mommy, we didn’t see anything."
These two little rascals.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt that overly smart kids were less endearing.
She glared at her little daughter, then reached out her hand to Qin Yize, saying, "Quickly, show me that instrument of yours."
Her curiosity was genuinely piqued.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and Gu Qiaoqiao’s clear and bright eyes seemed to reflect his image.
Beside her, there were two little ones, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, also raising their faces to look at him.
Qin Yize rubbed his forehead, feeling as if there were three children standing before him.
With affection, he pinched Gu Qiaoqiao’s nose, "I didn’t bring it with me; it’s in the room."
"Then go get it for me; I want to see it."
Gu Qiaoqiao stomped her feet in urgency.
She was indeed very curious about this item, which seemed more advanced than the techniques of the Mystic Sect and even surpassed her Divine Sense perception.
Qin Yize stopped teasing Gu Qiaoqiao and quickly went to the bedroom. When he came out, he was holding a black box roughly the size of Gu Qiaoqiao’s palm.
