Chapter 207: Successfully Escaping (2/2)

“A bunch of useless fools.” The Phoenix King Valley Elder knew that the outer valley disciples had also been knocked out by someone. He had no choice but to run out naked and strip off one of the disciples’ clothes before putting it on himself. Once he was clothed, he shot towards the location of the spirit ring.

The elder wasn’t wearing any underwear and he stood in the middle of the woods with a spirit ring in hand. He stared blankly into space and as a gentle breeze blew past him, the elder felt that his legs were a little cold. The only thing colder was his heart.

This was the first time he had brought a group of disciples out of the valley. He didn’t know what kind of bad luck he met with. First, it was the Green Flame Eagle’s information leaked by the disciples leading to the fight in the Falling Cloud Mountain Range. Next, he tried to recruit an outstanding disciple but Feng Wan’er’s shortcomings were exposed. Finally, he offended the merchant’s son during the disciple exhibition and wasn’t even able to obtain the white-robed man as a disciple. He originally wanted to return without any more losses but never in his wildest imagination did he expect that his spirit ring would be stolen. It was fine if his treasures were stolen. However, how was he going to explain to the Valley Master that the egg was missing?

“If I ever find out who did this, I’ll make his life a living hell. I will let him know the consequences of offending the Phoenix King Valley!” The elder roared at the top of his lungs and he smashed his fist into the tree beside him. The tree snapped in the middle as birds and beasts ran away as fast as they could.

On the other side, Bai Luochu was already back at the secluded courtyard in the general's residence. She was panting loudly.

Ying Lan might also be exhausted but his strength was superior to Bai Luochu. His reaction wasn’t as exaggerated as Bai Luochu’s. Under the moonlight, Bai Luochu’s complexion was ghastly white and Ying Lan felt that it was rather strange. If they were merely escaping, why would his mistress be so pale? Could it be that his mistress was injured?

“Mistress, are you injured? Why is your complexion so bad?” Ying Lan asked with concern.

Bai Luochu felt rather guilty as she had hidden something from Ying Lan. She immediately shifted her eyes and explained to Ying Lan, “Nothing is wrong. It is rather taxing to break the restriction on the spirit ring. After all, there is a large gap in strength between me and the Elder. Furthermore, I was forcefully breaking the restriction. It is natural for me to be exhausted.”

Ying Lan could see that Bai Luochu was hiding something from him. He knew that his mistress had done something risky because of her promise to the Green Flame Eagle. Since it was already over, he shouldn’t stress her out even more.

Ying Lan thought about it and quickly switched the topic. “Mistress, why did you ask me to throw his clothes away?”

“He is someone who cares a lot about his reputation. After throwing all his clothes away, he will definitely look for some clothes before coming over to chase us. Throwing his clothes away gives us more time to get away. Who cares about his clothes? Do you think that my taste is strong enough for an old man like the Phoenix King Valley Elder?” When Bai Luochu explained herself, she didn’t forget to make fun of Ying Lan.
