Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

236- Phoenix's Severe Oath

Ch236 - Phoenix's Severe Oath
Feng Jingyu had been a king for a long time, so he was very good at seeing through people's true natures. However, he found that he couldn't understand what Lin Xuanzhi was thinking about at all.

Moreover...Lin Xuanzhi seemed to know too much.

Feng Jingyu stared directly at Lin Xuanzhi, his gaze straight as an arrow, trying to glean Lin Xuanzhi's thoughts from his expression.

Yan Tianhen hesitated a little.

He wasn't afraid of bringing himself trouble, but he was worried about bringing Lin Xuanzhi trouble.

When Feng Jingyu saw that he wouldn't be able to stay no matter how soft or silly he pretended to be, he could only change tactics and shook his head as he spoke half-truths mixed with half-lies, "I was poisoned by vile people and escaped to here. When I first came here, my mind was muddled and unclear; I thought that I was simply a mortal bird and even swallowed an earth-level medicinal pill. In the past months, although I looked like I was in deep slumber, in fact, I'm aware of everything that happened outside. Even though my identity is troublesome, I still understand right from wrong - I won't ever bite the hand that feeds me. Besides, you guys have already taken in a big trouble, so what's one more?"

Yan Tianhen listened to the little phoenix use his childish voice to speak in such a mature manner and couldn't stop himself from stretching out a finger to scratch his head, asking in puzzlement, "Since when did I take in a big trouble?"

Feng Jingyu nodded towards Ling Chigu, who was standing silently and expressionlessly beside a stone, almost appearing nonexistent.

Yan Tianhen was shocked. "You're talking about Ah Gu?"

Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Who is Ling Chigu?"

Feng Jingyu was astonished. "You actually know he's called Ling Chigu, but you don't know who he is?"

Lin Xuanzhi responded, "A coincidence."

Feng Jingyu looked pensive as he jumped onto Ling Chigu's shoulder.

Ling Chigu wanted to reach out a hand and swat him, but Feng Jingyu jumped back onto Yan Tianhen's palm in advance.

"Who would've thought that the Ling family's young general, the Crimson Tassel Snow-Robed Youth, who swept away a thousand-man army by himself throughout the Northern Lands' vast battlefields of both wilderness and boundless seas back then, would be reduced to merely someone's corpse puppet today."

Feng Jingyu sighed.

Yan Tianhen's heart moved. He looked at Ling Chigu, who was completely unresponsive, and asked, "He was actually a general before?"

"The Five Continents' mainlands are too sealed off, so you guys don't know very much about the events outside." Feng Jingyu first ridiculed the Five Continents for being such an isolated and desolate place, then continued to explain, "The Crimson Tassel Snow-Robed Youth is the most powerful and gifted warrior in the current generation of the Chigu Ling family. He uses a spear with a crimson tassel to fight and built up outstanding deeds on the battlefield time and time again, defending the Northern Lands from the devil kingdoms' invasion. However, in the heirship fight for the throne, the prince whom the Ling family supported was defeated by the current East Palace's ruler, and the Ling family protected their master the whole way as he fled, which resulted in the East Palace annihilating the entire Ling family. This Ling Chigu," Feng Jingyu hesitated, "before I came to the Five Continents, I received intelligence that Ling Chigu was being hunted down by the East Palace's elite Crow Guards and disappeared into thin air; he couldn't be found anywhere. Who would have thought that he was already dead, and had died in such a tiny place like the Five Continents to boot."
