Chapter 720 - SuppressionChapter 720: Suppression
What else could he have said though? Everyone saw what happened, so he couldn’t denigrate Chu Liuyue even if he wanted to. Besides, there was nothing he could do since the red-tailed phoenix had already contracted with her.
Chu Liuyue looked at him in concern. “What’s wrong, Elder Qiuxi? Is everything alright?”
A green shadow flew over just then.
Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. She was just about to walk over to it, but she suddenly stopped and cast a helpless look at Mu Qinghe instead. “Lieutenant Mu…”
Mu Qinghe was feeling a minor headache as well. While he could put up with Hong Yao’s little tantrums, he was helpless when it came to times like this. “Come back, Hong Yao.”

Hong Yao didn’t want to move, but it obediently flew back to its master while sobbing because there were many people watching them at the moment.
Mu Qinghe frowned slightly. “Why are you crying when you’re not injured?”
Mu Qinghe—who got despised for no rhyme or reason—was rendered speechless.
“You are… Ms. Chu Liuyue, right?” The man standing beside Chu Liuyue finally spoke. From his calm expression and the hint of a smile on his face, it appeared that he wasn’t shocked by the turn of events.
Chu Liuyue’s eyes lingered on him for a moment before nodding. “May I know who—”
“Qin Yi.” With slightly squinted eyes, the man swept his gaze over Chu Liuyue and the red-tailed phoenix on her shoulder and smiled. “You’re really lucky, Ms. Chu. We’ve been guarding this red-tailed phoenix for a long time, but we didn’t expect it to choose you in the end.”
“S-sorry about that…” Chu Liuyue let out an awkward cough.
“It’s fine. Fate is predestined by heaven, so the fact that it chose you out of the many people here shows that some things are fated to be,” replied Qin Yi. The way he spoke was slow and calm, just like a spring breeze.
A hint of gratitude showed on Chu Liuyue’s face. “Thank you for your kind understanding, Brother Qin, Brother Lei. I appreciate it a lot.”
The corners of Lei Laosi’s eyes twitched hard, and he almost went down on his knees due to his legs going soft. He quickly glanced at Qin Yi, only to realize that he was looking as calm and composed as before.
“You’re too kind, Ms. Chu.”
Chu Liuyue said sincerely, “Since I owe both of you a favor regarding this matter, I’ll do my best to make it up to you in the future. Is that okay?”
“No need, no need! It’s yo—cough! We can’t do anything about it since the red-tailed phoenix chose you on its own accord! Even if you weren’t here, there’s no telling if it’d just leave without contracting with a human!” Lei Laosi blurted out.

“By the way, where’s the Third Princess?” She looked around, her gaze eventually landing on the spot where Shangguan Wan had vanished.
The hole had been filled with the tree’s roots and soil at some point.
Chu Liuyue looked behind, her eyes on Jiang Yucheng. “Eldest Young Master Jiang, the Third Princess has gone missing for a long time. Aren’t you worried about her?”
Jiang Yucheng was just about to speak, but the ground started shaking at that moment. Red mist spread from all directions, and the surrounding trees started withering quickly.
The roots of the huge rolling leaf fir in the middle suddenly surfaced as well.
With a darkened expression, Qin Yi said, “Someone has touched the seal of this tree!”
“This tree was sealed?” asked Chu Liuyue in surprise.
Qin Yi stared at the rolling leaf fir that looked like it was going berserk. “Retreat!”
Just as he said that, countless howls could be heard coming from the forest. It sounded as if thousands of people were crying out in pain.
