This handsome middle-aged man with a mustache was the City Lord of Sun Never Sets, Lord Ro Li.
Ro Li spoke too quickly, and Mo Ling and the others didn't have time to stop him. By the time they regained their senses, Ro Li had already finished speaking.
The mercenaries who had just come to find fault with him immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. They felt as if their necks had been cut by a sharp blade, and they were swaying and could fall at any moment. It turned out that Su Jian was telling the truth when he said that he was the Empress 'nephew! Moreover, it was not just him. Even the Empress and a few members of the Imperial Family were here. This matter was serious!
Lou's face turned pale. Unable to take the blow, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Sir Ro Li, there's no need to be so polite. You've been guarding the Sun Never Sets Fortress for years, developing and strengthening this place. You've also been able to keep the ferocious waves of magical beasts at bay for many years.”Roth finally smiled and said. He casually lifted Ro Li up.
Ro Li let out a sigh of relief. A few princes were fine. If anything happened to anyone, he would be in deep trouble.
After calming himself down, he said to Roth with a solemn expression,"Sir Roth, I came to look for you this time because the royal court of the Kaya Empire has sent a secret handwritten order for me to personally hand it to the queen.”
"A secret decree?" Roth was stunned. He suddenly had a bad feeling. He nodded and pointed at the carriage."Empress Su Ya is in the carriage.”
Ro Li didn't stand on ceremony and walked towards the carriage. At this moment, Mo Ling's curious voice rang out.
"Hey, Brother Zhuiyun, why aren't you surprised by our identities at all?”
Ao Feng retracted his gaze and smiled faintly.""Things that have already been confirmed have lost the value of being surprised. Don't worry, I won't alienate you because of this.”
"What is it? Could it be…Could it be that you have guessed our identities?”Su Jian scratched his head and cried out.
Roth couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head."You guys have long been seen through by Zhuiyun, yet you're still trying to hide it smugly. Zhuiyun already knew who you were when he saw me. From Madam to you guys, he didn't miss a single one of you, but you guys still haven't realized it until now.”
They had been seen through by Ao Feng from the beginning? The four of them looked at Ao Feng's usual expression and were dumbstruck. They already didn't know what to say. The number of surprises they had experienced in their entire lives added up probably wasn't even more than today.
Yu Fan suddenly jumped up and shouted,"Then you said that thing about the aristocrats in the Hyde Chamber of Commerce on purpose?"”
Ao Feng stared at him shamelessly and said,""I know you really want to have a taste of exposing your identity. Isn't this fulfilling your wish?”
You're clearly teasing me! You even made me complacent for so long! Yu Fan's face turned red and he wanted to cry but no tears came out. However, this time, he was completely convinced by Ao Feng. Regardless of whether it was intelligence or skills, Ao Feng was above them, so he had no choice but to submit.
There was no longer any grudge between the five young people, and they were much more lively. They chatted and laughed happily, and even talked about inviting Ao Feng to the Imperial Palace to play in the future. As they were talking enthusiastically, the car door suddenly opened and Madam Su Ya, who was dressed in a long dress, got out of the car with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Sir Luo Si, Zhu 'er, Ling' er, we have to return to the Imperial City in advance. We have to leave now.”As Madam Su Ya spoke, she walked towards Ao Feng and gave her a gentle hug. She cast an apologetic look at him,"Child, I'm sorry. We have to go our separate ways.”
"What?" The few of them exclaimed. This was too sudden!
Mo Zhu's clear and bright eyes stared at Ao Feng, revealing a strong sense of attachment. She asked,"Mom, aren't we going to look for dragon fruits?”
Looking for the dragon fruit was only an excuse. What Mo Zhu really hoped to spend more time with Ao Feng. Even if they did not talk much, it seemed that as long as he saw her, he would feel inexplicably happy.
Madam Su Ya sighed and shook her head,"No, we have to leave immediately. We'll return to the city with Lord Ro Li.”
Nine-star magical beast griffins had always been the best among flying magical beasts. In order to cross the ravine of the Forest of the Unsetting Sun, the Kaya Empire had specially chosen a route with fewer magical beasts to build a griffin station. The Forest of the Unsetting Sun, which took several months to cross on foot, only took less than half a month by griffin. However, the number of griffins was very small, and a ride would cost a large number of Obis. Moreover, it was only used by nobles and powerhouses above the second rank.
It seemed that Madam Su Ya was extremely anxious. Ao Feng's heart moved, and he roughly understood that there might be some changes in the Kaya Empire's palace. This change was probably quite unfavorable to Madam Su Ya, or perhaps something had happened to the Emperor.
"You should hurry up and leave with Su Ya's mother. Don't ask anymore. I'll be going to the emperor in a few days.”Ao Feng saw the few of them looking at her with reluctance and shook her head lightly. However, even though her face was cold, the few of them who already knew her character could still hear the comfort in her words.
"Then…Zhuiyun, you said that you wouldn't alienate us. When the time comes, you must come and find us.”Mo Zhu bit her lip and ignored everyone's gazes. She mustered up her courage and took out a light blue jade pendant from her pocket and stuffed it into Ao Feng's hand."When you come to the palace, show this to the guards and they will know. I…I will wait for you!”
The suet fat and Tian Nuan Jade were warm to the touch. One touch and one could tell that it was not an ordinary item. There was even a small word "Bamboo" engraved on it. Ao Feng flipped it over and over and looked at it. She looked up in surprise. Mo Zhu's clear but firm gaze made it impossible for her to reject it.
Although the few of them felt that Mo Zhu's actions were a little inappropriate, they could not say anything after hearing his words.
Luo Si's eyes flashed, and he took out the thin cicada wings and handed them to Ao Feng.""Little guy, this is what I promised you. Take care of yourself. The next time we meet, I look forward to you becoming stronger.”
Ao Feng's black pupils were sparkling and translucent. He was very grateful for the help of the Sword Saint expert, Roth. He took the cicada wings and bowed slightly to him, casting him a respectful gaze.
Under Madam Su Ya's urging, the few young people returned to the carriage. Fang jumped out of the carriage and returned to Ao Feng's side. Everyone followed City Lord Luo Li's troops. The back door of the carriage was open, and they could still hear Mo Zhu and the others shouting from afar.
"Zhui Yun! I'll wait for you!"
"Brother Zhuiyun, I'll be waiting for you too.”
"Guild Leader, you will always be our Guild Leader. We will adventure together in the future!”
"You're the first person I admire, so don't break the promise!”
……
Friends, it was actually very simple. Even Yu Fan, who had been at odds with her at the beginning, could now be considered a friend.
In the deserted forest, Ao Feng looked at the warm jade pendant. His pitch-black eyes flickered with a bright light. He suddenly clenched it tightly. He didn't put it into his interspatial ring, but hung it around his neck.
After sending off Madam Su Ya and the rest, Ao Feng and Fang Ya rested under the tree for a night. The next day, they went into the forest again. When they came, Ao Feng had already asked Madam Su Ya about the approximate location where the dragon fruit grew. This thing was too attractive to her at this stage. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, she had to give it a try.
Only by becoming a spirit illusionist could one truly become a beast tamer who could use magical beasts to assist oneself. One could make magical beasts transform into armor, forming exquisite and practical magical beast armor to protect their bodies. Their attack power would also be greatly increased. There was a fundamental difference between them and great illusionists. Ao Feng wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.
Fang and Ao Feng's speed was extremely fast. After leaving Madam Su Ya's group, they increased their speed by quite a bit. Relying on their outstanding senses, they avoided a large group of magical beasts. One man and one wolf quickly approached the Soul Breaking Cliff where the dragon fruit matured.
