Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Is that Qiuqiu?! (2)_1
"Hehe, sowing discord!" La Yun chuckled and added.
Little Baiqiu’s eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "That’s right, it’s called sowing discord! Humph, you’re a big bad person who sows discord! But I still love Keke the most! I just thought La Yun looked nice and wanted to look at him more, that’s all!"
Dugu Qianye was speechless. He waved his hand at them and turned to leave.
Watching Dugu Qianye’s retreating figure, Mang Qianjun asked, "Where are you going?"
"To see if my master has gotten better!"
While they were laughing over here, up in the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm, Zi Xiao’s face was ice-cold as he looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
"My lord, we didn’t expect that Mu Lin would snatch the mission!" A guard said, kneeling on the ground.
"Hmm?" Zi Xiao’s complexion grew even colder. Twirling the Purple Jade Bracelet in his hand, he said, "Are you implying that the fault lies not in your failure to gather accurate information, but with someone else?"
"The undersigned did not mean that!" The guard was terrified by Zi Xiao’s words and felt as if he had lost his soul as he spoke.
"My lord, the future lady is unharmed, isn’t she? Yan Yi and the others did explore thoroughly; it’s just that Mu Lin took on the mission at the last minute," Little Douzi spoke up, seeing Yan Yi’s condition.
"That doesn’t mean we can just let this go!" Lord Qie Yue and Hei Zi entered from outside and said, "It’s only because Mang Qianjun was there, coupled with the help of the Dragon Clan, that Qianye was able to escape unscathed. If they hadn’t been there, who would have borne the consequences of this incident? Decapitating all the heads of the Flame Army wouldn’t be enough! When did the Flame Army become so inept at gathering intelligence?"
Lord Qie Yue, too, had heard about Dugu Qianye being ambushed and was somewhat angry. Dugu Qianye was a friend he rarely approved of; if something had truly happened, it wouldn’t just be Zi Xiao losing his temper, he would be the first to erupt!
"The undersigned acknowledges the error!" Yan Yi knelt on the ground and said.
"Don’t think that I’m unaware of what you’re all thinking," Zi Xiao said, looking at Yan Yi, "Whether she’s qualified or not, she’s your future mistress. You have no right to question her legitimacy!"
Yan Yi, kneeling with his head bowed, shuddered upon hearing Zi Xiao’s words!
Indeed, they did have some reservations about Dugu Qianye. The inhabitants of the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm were generally powerful, cultivating not Spiritual Power like some other realms, but the Chaotic Power! This was the realm the Creator God had given to Zi Xiao, and it had suffered little damage during the ancient war, so they still cultivated the power of Chaos. Therefore, the people here naturally felt a sense of superiority, thinking themselves far above those from other realms.
Thus, when Zi Xiao declared the presence of a future mistress, some were already uncomfortable. Especially after Zi Xiao’s return, with his large-scale preparations and his covert struggle with Yong Xing, which took much toil and effort, these people looked down on Dugu Qianye even more. Hence, although the Flame Army had received word that Mu Lin had gone to the Phoenix Tree Forest, they had still relayed the initial information upwards.
"The undersigned understands," said Yan Yi, bowing deep.
"I don’t like subordinates who disobey orders. If the Flame Army no longer wishes to gather intelligence, then return," Zi Xiao said nonchalantly, startling everyone present.
Calling back the Flame Army meant revoking their duties and removing their guard ranks!
"My lord?!" Little Douzi wanted to say something but swallowed his words upon seeing Zi Xiao’s expression.
"The undersigned should not have concealed the truth; the undersigned acknowledges the mistake. Please grant the Flame Army another chance, my lord!" Only after hearing Zi Xiao’s words did Yan Yi realize how grievously wrong their actions had been!
Seeing Yan Yi’s pained expression, Lord Qie Yue went to sit by Zi Xiao’s side and said, "Let it go, just teach them a lesson."
Zi Xiao glanced at Lord Qie Yue and said, "Then all of the Flame Army will report to the Punishment Hall to accept their penalty. Leave the intelligence gathering to the Xiu Army for now."
"Thank you for your grace, my lord!" Flame bowed deeply and then retreated.
Little Douzi left with Flame, and soon came back, holding a piece of letter paper, saying, "My lord, this is a message that was just returned. It says that the future mistress intends to go to Lamari Flame Mountain."
"What is she going to Lamari for?" Qie Yue asked.
"She wants to obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl!" Little Douzi replied.
"What?!" Qie Yue sprang up from his chair, exclaiming, "Has she gone mad?!"
Zi Xiao’s eyes flickered, thinking about the Light Spiritual Bead she acquired in the City of Darkness and the Water Spiritual Pearl from the Blue Sea, realizing she must be aiming to gather the Five Elements Spirit Beads.
"Hey, you’re not going to just let her go, are you?" Seeing Zi Xiao showing no reaction, Qie Yue kicked his chaise longue, "Even we can’t handle the Fire Spirit Pearl, she’ll be turned to ashes going there!"
Zi Xiao continued twirling his Purple Jade Bracelet on his wrist and glanced at Qie Yue after his chaise longue was kicked, then stood up and walked outside.
"Hey, where are you going?" Qie Yue called out.
"I am going to find her!" Zi Xiao said without turning his head, "You and Hei Zi think of a way to block Yong Xing’s view and make sure he doesn’t notice me."
"Damn, action-oriented! Now we have to deal with all this in your absence," Qie Yue swore helplessly.
Little Douzi chuckled, "Lord Qie Yue, the capable should work more! The capable should work more!" and then he turned and ran out.
Qie Yue glared at Little Douzi as he left, hearing his shouts from outside, "My lord, take me with you, let me also experience the outside world!"
"Everyone’s leaving, so will I, let Hei Zi handle this! If he can’t even fool Yong Xing, then he deserves to be looked down on!" Qie Yue muttered to himself, then instructed the guard outside a few words to convey the situation to Hei Zi, before vanishing into thin air.
By the time Hei Zi received the news, he was the only butler left in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm, unable to leave as he must block Yong Xing’s view for them.
"You two wait for me!" Hei Zi roared towards the heavens, but Zi Xiao and Qie Yue could no longer hear him.
At this moment, Yong Xing’s face was also gloomy.
"All wiped out?" Yong Xing glared at the person reporting back to him with rage on his face.
"Yes, my lord, by the time we arrived, the Phoenix Tree Forest had already been burned to ash, leaving nothing behind," the kneeling person replied.
"Nothing left behind? Tens of thousands of guards, not one returned, and you tell me nothing is left behind? Were those people made of paper? To die at a single poke?" Furious, Yong Xing released a surge of spiritual power towards him, sending the person tumbling on the ground before getting back up to kneel again.
After venting his anger, Yong Xing was still furious, shouting, "So many of you and yet you couldn’t handle a single Vermilion Bird, what are you even for!"
"This subordinate is incompetent!" the person said, head bowed.
At this time, a fierce-looking person entered, and upon seeing him, Yong Xing asked, "Qiong Qi, how is it, did you find it?"
