Chapter 980: Flame City (2)

“Don’t worry. It’s very safe along the way. It must be because that damn eagle has too few feathers, so it flew a little slower.” The little peacock said with great certainty. Hehe! It was so happy to not be harassed by beasts along the way.

“Yes, wait a little longer! They should be here soon.” Leng Ruoxue chuckled.

“Beauty! Wait for me!”

As soon as Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, Black Egg’s voice came from afar.

Before long, the man and eagle finally arrived.

“Beauty! Did you miss me?” Black Egg quickly asked as soon as he landed in front of Leng Ruoxue and the others, as if he was afraid that the little peacock would forget him.

“You tell me!” Peacock shot back.

“You definitely did,” Black Egg said with certainty. The smug expression on his face was as annoying as it could get.

“Yes, I want to beat you up,” the little peacock said with a faint smile.

“Fighting is affection and scolding is love! Hehe! Beauty, come!” Black Egg said excitedly. After saying that, he ignored his master, who was still sitting on his back, and prepared to lie down and let the little peacock do whatever she wanted.

“You…” Yuan Hou, who had almost fallen, quickly climbed down from the black eagle’s back and pointed at the black egg. However, he was so angry that he could not say a complete sentence.

“Alright, stop fooling around. Let’s enter the city!” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly. Sigh! She was helpless against this black eagle. Moreover, she couldn’t understand why this black eagle looked like a little peacock.

“Yes.” Yuan Hou nodded obediently, then glared at the black egg.

“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue said and walked in front without looking back.

As soon as he returned to the territory of the First Alliance, the guards patrolling the city discovered traces of Yuan Hou and immediately reported it to the Alliance Leader.

A moment later.

Yuan Biao ran up to them while panting and scolded the ape. However, he was smiling when facing Leng Ruoxue and the others.

“Miss Ning, you’re finally back. I don’t know where you went either. I was so anxious,” Yuan Biao said in embarrassment. Actually, he was mainly worried about his son, but he had to show appropriate concern for Leng Ruoxue and the others.

“I’m sorry, Alliance Master Yuan. We went to Phoenix Cry Mountain. We didn’t have time to inform you because we left in a hurry,” Leng Ruoxue said apologetically.

“Hehe! I can understand that. But why did you go to Phoenix Cry Mountain? It’s a distance from here.” Yuan Biao asked in confusion.

“Young Master Yuan asked me out to shop, but there’s really nothing to shop on this street, so we went to Phoenix Cry Mountain,” Leng Ruoxue explained with a smile.

“Oh, I see!” Yuan Biao said knowingly. Then he glared at his son.

“Father, there are indeed many baddies in Phoenix Cry Mountain. Your son was robbed, and you almost lost your precious son forever. You have to avenge me!” Yuan Hou complained suddenly.

“What? Who robbed you? F*cking guts!” Yuan Biao was furious when he heard this. F*ck! How dare someone rob his precious son? Did he want to die?

“I don’t know them, but I’ve memorized their faces,” Yuan Hou said with absolute certainty.

“Oh! Then tell Father in detail later. Let’s return to the First Alliance now!” Yuan Biao thought for a moment and said.

“Yes, Miss Ning, let’s go!” Yuan Hou said fawningly.

“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue forced a smile and cooperated.

After arriving at the First Alliance, Leng Ruoxue and the others directly returned to the Falling Swallow Dwelling, while Yuan Hou continued to complain to Yuan Biao about how he had been robbed…

The next day.

Leng Ruoxue personally went to look for Yuan Biao and offered to see Leng Xiaoyu again. She promised that if Leng Xiaoyu still insisted on her conditions this time, she would give up.

After Yuan Biao heard this, he immediately agreed to Leng Ruoxue’s request without thinking and agreed to bring her to see Leng Xiaoyu in the afternoon.

At the agreed time, Yuan Biao personally came to the Falling Swallow Dwelling and brought Leng Ruoxue and the freak to the secret room.

The three of them entered together after opening the chamber door, but were surprised to find the inner chamber empty.

“Alliance Master Yuan, where’s Leng Xiaoyu?” Leng Ruoxue asked in surprise, her beautiful face full of question marks.

“He might have gone to relieve himself. Even though Leng Xiaoyu made a mistake, we can’t deprive her of her human rights, right?” Yuan Biao explained awkwardly.

“Miss Ning, please wait for a moment. I’ll go look for her,” Yuan Biao said again. Then, he went to the toilet to look for her.

After some time.

Yuan Biao returned to the inner room with a dark expression.

“Alliance Master Yuan, what’s wrong with you? Is Leng Xiaoyu angry with you again?” Leng Ruoxue secretly laughed in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be puzzled and ask with concern.

“Sigh! Leng Xiaoyu probably ran away.” Yuan Biao sighed heavily and said very angrily.

“Escape? How is that possible? The First Alliance is heavily guarded. No matter how capable Leng Xiaoyu is, she probably won’t be able to escape!” Leng Ruoxue said in disbelief.

“If I’m not wrong, he should have been saved by his master. Miss Ning, you might not know this, but blacksmiths usually have some unknown secret methods. Otherwise, their status wouldn’t be so high!” Yuan Biao explained with a vexed expression.

“Then what should we do now?” Leng Ruoxue seemed to have no idea, but she couldn’t help but feel anxious in her heart. It wasn’t that there weren’t blacksmiths and alchemists with high statuses, but there were very few of them. Other than the blacksmiths and alchemists who belonged to the two large guilds that were relatively freer, the alchemists and blacksmiths who belonged to the various large factions basically had to listen to the arrangements of the factions they belonged to. Otherwise, they wouldn’t provide you with materials.

“Miss Ning, I can’t help you with this matter. I’m sorry,” Yuan Biao said apologetically. Sigh! Since they had already offended the Artificer Association, they could not offend the Ning family again. Otherwise, their Ascender Alliance would be attacked on both sides.
