Chapter 456: Chapter 224 "Aunt Ruo, You Misunderstood..."_2
"Come, swear another oath for me to see."
"..."
Lu Jin’an really didn’t dare to make that oath, because Senior Sister truly had the idea of treating him like a little puppy. If he took this oath, he might really get struck by lightning.
Seeing Lu Jin’an’s silence, Xiao Yinruo didn’t blame him; instead, her voice became a few shades softer: "Jin’an, I don’t know what worries you have, but at a time like this, you can’t..."
"Aunt Ruo, it’s really not what you think." Lu Jin’an interrupted her once again, "Even if you take me back to the Wandao Sect, it would just be a misunderstanding.
Besides, why would you think that?"
"It’s naturally because..."
"Old maid, where are you trying to take my man!?"
Before Xiao Yinruo could finish her sentence, a commanding voice pierced through the clouds from the night sky filled with black fog, reaching directly into Xiao Yinruo’s sea of consciousness.
Xiao Yinruo’s face changed, quickly looking up. Had the demoness discovered her whereabouts so quickly?
How could the barrier created by her spell be discovered so quickly?
Surely, this demoness must have planted some sort of prohibition on or in Jin’an’s sea of consciousness, right!
Xiao Yinruo gritted her teeth; now she truly didn’t have much confidence in escaping from Pei Wanyu’s grasp.
She was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and Pei Wanyu excelled at the Time Path...
No, no matter the cost, she had to protect this child, Jin’an!
Xiao Yinruo formed a hand seal, while Lu Jin’an, unable to look at her, also raised his head at that moment.
Through the dark clouds, they saw black wings faintly appearing as if they were condensed from the endless night, shimmering with a dim light.
Along the edges of the wings, a faint dark purple glow seemed to flow, like mysterious runes pulsating.
With a flap of the wings, a fierce wind arose, sweeping the surrounding area with a powerful airflow.
The night sky churned, and a pair of eyes darker than the night yet brighter than daylight appeared, seemingly proclaiming the majesty and honor of the Phoenix Clan.
In the flash of lightning and thunder, the massive silhouette hidden within the clouds was illuminated.
The stance of the Black Phoenix was proud and aloof, like the king of the night, overlooking the mortal world.
Lu Jin’an widened his eyes at the scene, no wonder Master’s adeptness with the Time Skill, it turned out to be from the Black Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan.
Lu Jin’an was engrossed, but suddenly felt a thrusting sensation from behind. In the next moment, he was whisked away by Xiao Yinruo at high speed, unable to see anything clearly.
Indeed, such speed belonged to an immortal... with a thought and Qi, riding the wind for thousands of miles.
Even if he was skilled in Space Rules, he couldn’t catch up to this speed.
"Still want to run?"
Above the Sky Dome, the Black Phoenix flapped its wings, and everything in the world seemed to speed up. Xiao Yinruo’s expression turned grave as Daoist skills flowed around her, pushing out a palm; the ’prison’ made of time seemed to crack.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, everything seemed to return to normal, but Xiao Yinruo suddenly stopped in her tracks at that moment.
Due to inertia, Lu Jin’an bumped directly into Xiao Yinruo’s back, thinking if he hadn’t established five Dao Palaces, just from Aunt Ruo’s flying speed just now, he might have fallen apart like others would.
Even so, he still felt discomfort in his internal organs.
Between the Unity Realm Stage and Divine Presence Realm, although separated by only one Tribulation Crossing Realm, the gap was like the distance between heaven and earth, visible yet not easily touched.
He calmed his boiling Qi and blood, and at the same time, saw Master already blocking the way in front of them.
Master, dressed in purple, appeared dignified and elegant, with a sternness between her brows that he had never seen before.
Just a glance was as if imbued with Heavenly Might.
"Master!" Lu Jin’an, enduring his internal discomfort, felt Xiao Yinruo still clutching tightly onto his shoulder, so he quickly said, "Palace Master Xiao thinks you and Senior Sister are treating me like a dog... I’ve explained it, but she still doesn’t believe it."
Pei Wanyu narrowed her phoenix eyes, about to speak when Xiao Yinruo sneered first, "Jin’an doesn’t dare to make a Heavenly Dao Oath, demoness, what do you have to say?"
"Just Senior Sister!" Lu Jin’an quickly spoke, "I’ve sworn the Heavenly Dao Oath about Master, and also..."
"You don’t speak!" Xiao Yinruo glared at him, raising her voice several notches, "Why dare not to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath about Mu Qingyue, don’t you have a clue? Why are you explaining here?"
After saying that, she turned to Pei Wanyu again, "You dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath about this demoness because she didn’t do anything to you, but what about Mu Qingyue?
She is ostensibly Pei Wanyu’s daughter. With this kind of significant relationship, do you think you are not this demoness’s dog?"
Lu Jin’an shrugged at Pei Wanyu, then rolled his eyes, clearly speechless.
Then he couldn’t help but double-take at Xiao Yinruo, thinking though Palace Master Xiao usually seemed unattainably aloof, she was actually quite easy to talk to. But why was she so stubborn now?
Indeed, as the Master who raised Nanzhi... the two of them had quite the resemblance in some aspects.
But he also knew the cause of this scene—it was because he didn’t dare to take a Heavenly Dao Oath regarding Senior Sister.
Yet, paradoxically, he truly didn’t dare to make this oath lightly.
And listening to the voice, Pei Wanyu had already understood the gist—Yinruo had some sort of misunderstanding, consequently trying to rescue Jin’an from her, a demoness.
That is to say, Yinruo knew that Qingyue ’wanted’ to train Jin’an into a little puppy.
How did she know?
Did she deduce it through empathy and meticulously piecing things together?
Hmm... definitely not like that.
With Yinruo’s pure ’posture’ like a blank sheet of paper, how could she possibly think of such an indecent play?
