Chapter 224: So It Was You

Hearing Zhao Zhengping say that Xiaobai was a great hero this time, Chen Mu's eyes turned red.

However, before he could speak, the disciples spoke one after another.

"What happened to Chen Qingyu?"

"That's right, didn't Chen Qingyu go with Xiaobai before? Why did you come back separately?"

"Something happened on the road?"

The disciples then reacted. Chen Mu also went to the Blacksmith Valley together.

But why was he so miserable?

Listening to the discussion of the disciples, Chen Mu gripped the long sword in his hand tightly and glared.

"Stop talking nonsense. You beast, do you dare to come out and fight me? If I don't kill you, I won't be called Chen Mu."

"Junior Brother, calm down, let's make things clear."

"What else is there to say? Today, either it exists or I exist."

"But Xiaobai is Junior Brother Ye Changqing's mount."

"I..."

Finally, under Zhao Zhengping's persuasion, Chen Mu finally told the story slowly.

Nothing happened when they went, but on the way back, when they reached Yanmu Mountain, for some reason, a Heaven Demon Realm great demon suddenly rioted.

Chen Mu's first reaction was to run away. Although he was the number one inner disciple of Divine Jianfeng, his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Realm perfection, so he was naturally no match for the Heaven Demon Realm great demon.

Speaking of this, Chen Mu looked at Xiaobai with red eyes and gritted his teeth.

"But who knew this beast actually used me as bait to exchange for its own escape. Fortunately, I met Junior Brother Wang, and the two of us joined forces, and only then did we luckily escape back."

The Junior Brother Wang in Chen Mu's mouth was the person who came with him, and he was also an inner disciple of Divine Jianfeng, but he had gone out for life-and-death training before and was not in the sect.

This time, he also met Chen Mu and heard that Divine Jianfeng had already entered the Near-Sea Camp, so he came together.

Seeing Chen Mu look at him gratefully, Junior Brother Wang smiled unnaturally.

However, Chen Mu, who was in a fit of anger, didn't notice this and kept glaring at Xiaobai angrily.

Knowing the course of events, the disciples fell into silence.

Don't look at Divine Jianfeng as being unscrupulous on weekdays, but abandoning fellow disciples is absolutely a taboo, especially when facing foreign enemies.

For a time, the disciples' eyes looking at Xiaobai also became unkind, and even Ye Changqing looked reproachful.

When they are together, they can fight and play, but when facing foreign enemies, how can they abandon their companions and steal their own lives?

Facing everyone's gaze, Xiaobai kept calling anxiously and flapping its wings, as if it was explaining something.

It's just that this guy can't speak human language yet, so everyone doesn't know what it's saying.

"Xiaobai, this time you..."

Stepping forward, looking at Xiaobai with a stern gaze, and intending to say something, suddenly a fluctuation came from outside the array.

"Someone is attacking the array."

Such a sudden change instantly attracted the attention of the disciples, especially since this direction was not the East Sea, but from the Eastern Continent.

Who is attacking the array? Could it be those demon beasts from Huling again?

Not daring to be slow, the disciples soon rushed to the entrance of the array, and saw two large green birds attacking the array frantically.

"Chen Qingyu Phoenix?"

Zhao Zhengping recognized these two demon beasts at a glance. They are collectively called Chen Qingyu Phoenix, but the male is called Chen Qingyu Feng, and the female is called Chen Qingyu Huang, and they possess a trace of phoenix bloodline.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Qingyu Phoenixes are one male and one female, and it is rare for them to appear alone.

But why are these Chen Qingyu Phoenixes attacking the grand array?

Looking at the Chen Qingyu Phoenixes attacking the array frantically outside the array, everyone was somewhat confused.

"It's it, it's this great demon that chased me and Junior Brother Wang all the way."

At this time, Chen Mu shouted loudly, recognizing the Chen Qingyu Feng at a glance.

And hearing this, Ye Changqing frowned slightly, looked at Xiaobai who was still cackling beside him and trying hard to explain, and seemed to know something.

"Chen Qingyu Mu, did you say there was only one great demon chasing you back then?"

"Correct."

"But as everyone knows, Chen Qingyu Phoenixes are in pairs. Since the Chen Qingyu Feng chased you, what about the Chen Qingyu Huang? There's no reason for it not to appear."

"This..."

Chen Mu also felt strange. Seeing this, Ye Changqing turned to look at Xiaobai again.

"So, was the Chen Qingyu Huang lured away by you?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, with an expression of "you finally know, it wasn't me."

The truth came to light. Xiaobai didn't abandon Chen Mu and escape alone, but went to lure away the Chen Qingyu Huang.

Feeling ashamed in his heart, Chen Mu looked at Xiaobai embarrassedly and apologized.

"Xiaobai, I..."

Now it was Xiaobai's turn to be unhappy. It turned its head directly, didn't look at Chen Mu, and made two dissatisfied cackling sounds.

Regarding this, Chen Mu naturally had no temper. Who told him to misunderstand Xiaobai?

Just at this moment, the Chen Qingyu Feng outside the array spoke angrily.

"Despicable humans, you stole my treasury. If you have the ability, don't come out for the rest of your life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples were stunned, and then all were confused.

"Treasury? What treasury?"

"I don't know, it seems someone stole their treasury, so they chased them all the way here."

"These two stupid birds, this thing is lost, why would they chase to the Near-Sea Camp? Don't they know that our Divine Jianfeng has been stationed at the Near-Sea Camp and hasn't left recently?"

"That's right, and they don't use their brains."

This treasury was stolen, how could it find their Near-Sea Camp?

Everyone discussed, only Junior Brother Wang had a strange expression, and Chen Mu seemed to realize something at this time, turned to look at Junior Brother Wang, and showed a "gentle" smile on his face.

"Junior Brother Wang, the person the beast is talking about wouldn't be you, right?"

Hearing this, Junior Brother Wang smiled sheepishly and said without any confidence.

"How... how could it be, Senior Brother."

"Oh, it's really not? Junior Brother, think clearly before speaking. Senior Brother is very angry right now."

I don't know when, but a long sword had already been placed on his neck. The sword edge was cold, and coupled with Chen Mu's "gentle" smile, Junior Brother Wang swallowed his saliva and said stutteringly.

"That... that... I didn't mean to. At that time, seeing Senior Brother's anger soaring to the sky, I didn't dare to say it."

Listening to Junior Brother Wang's explanation, Chen Mu's smile became more "gentle."

He just said, why did that Chen Qingyu Feng suddenly get furious for no reason, and attacked him and Xiaobai without saying a word, completely without any reason.

It turns out it was all the trouble you kid caused.

Later, when they met, this kid didn't say anything, making Chen Mu feel full of gratitude, thinking that Junior Brother Wang saved him. If it weren't for him, if the two joined forces, they might not have been able to run away.

It turns out it was all because of you kid behind the scenes.

The sword edge approached again and had already stuck to Junior Brother Wang's neck. The cold touch made Junior Brother Wang shiver instantly, and he quickly said.

"Senior Brother, calm down. Junior Brother truly didn't mean to hide it. It was really your state at that time, and I didn't dare to say it."

"Then does that mean it's still my fault?"

"No, no, no, my fault, my fault."

"Junior Brother, tell me, I went to the Blacksmith Valley alone to forge a precious knife, was it hard?"

"Hard, hard."

"It was hard enough, and on the way back, I was chased and killed by a Heaven Demon Realm great demon for no reason. Was I wronged?"

"Wronged, wronged."

"Fleeing all the way, the culprit was by my side, and I was always grateful to him. Do you think you deserve to die?"

"Deserve to die, deserve... no, no, no, Senior Brother, I truly didn't mean it."
