Chapter 1124: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

The most pressing matter right now was to first see what was up with the phoenix egg!

Behind Dou Heping, a young lady, with similar features to Dou Fengchi but slightly younger in age, couldn’t resist pursing her lips as she remarked with a smile, “So useless, to get transferred out forcibly not even halfway through this month-long practical training.”

“Dou Fengyao, shut up.” Dou Fengchi asserted with suppressed rage, “If you had gone, perhaps you would do worse than me!”

“Alright, alright.” Seeing that these sisters were starting a catfight again, Dou Heping could only separate them with a headache. “Stop bickering, you two. Right now, handling official business is more urgent.”

The group kept running as they talked. Eventually, however, more and more of the Dou Clan and Mu Clan’s disciples dropped out after expending their stamina.

Dou Heping and Mu Boming’s expressions were both a bit foul looking.

On the contrary, Qin Guilu looked quite easy-going as he turned to tell the other two with a smile, “Family Head Mu, Family Head Dou, it’s all fate. Let nature take its course.”

Phooey! Fate my *ss! Dou Heping and Mu Boming both secretly cursed Qin Guilu, that old fox.

“Do you see that red light?” Mu Zhilan suddenly pointed up ahead.

Turning their gazes, everyone saw that the red light ahead had restrained much of its radiance, dimming until it was practically indiscernible.

“Sh*t, it couldn’t be that someone picked up the phoenix egg, right?” A disciple from the Qin Estate had unknowingly caught onto the truth.

Even so, Yang Fengyan shouted indignantly immediately upon hearing this. “Impossible! It takes some time for a phoenix egg to recognize a master. Not even an hour has passed since the phoenix egg’s descent! Even forming a contract with the phoenix egg would not happen so quickly.”

Qin Guilu nodded in agreement, his gaze flashing as he looked beside him at Eldest Young Sir Qin.

Yey the latter merely pursed his lips at him disinterestedly. “Let’s go over to see.”

“That phoenix egg seemed to have stopped.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

That red light had dimmed a lot, but at least it didn’t keep neurotically moving about the forest like before.

Because they had a clear objective now, everyone advanced more quickly.

Soon, they found the source of the red light.

After pushing aside the dead trees that obstructed their way, everyone was involuntarily shocked upon witnessing the scene.

They saw that a large tract of forest before them had turned helter-skelter, leaving behind only bits of broken branches and trunks. A deep pit had been blasted out in the middle, while the surrounding foliage had been levelled to the ground.

When everyone associated this with the two huge quakes they heard earlier, they couldn’t help but be breathless with wonder.

After walking ahead for a bit, they could see a pale-colored slender figure sitting upright with their back to them.

From the back silhouette, it was a little lady?

Everyone hastened their footsteps to surround her, yet they also very carefully checked for traps beneath their feet.

“It’s you!!” When Dou Fengchi circled around to the front and saw the young lady’s face, she involuntarily cried out in resentment.

Qin Guilu was also taken aback, and he automatically cupped his hands toward that sitting figure. “Miss Qiao.”

At the moment, however, Miss Qiao’s body was radiating a faint, but very eye-catching, red light.

She just sat there before everyone without moving, and she didn’t even bat an eyelid when she heard footsteps crowding around her.

Dou Fengchi couldn’t help but flare up upon seeing this. She then rushed up, pointing her finger as she yelled furiously, “Good! After throwing all of us out from the secret realm! I reckoned that you would stay in there for some time! Yet who would have known that you would have come out too! Is it meaningful for you to make this kind of thankless effort?”

“Fengchi,” Second Young Sir Dou reprimanded with creased brows.
