Sensing that the Peacock King was a little afraid, Leng ruoxue stretched out her arm and pulled him to sit down beside her. She then gave him a consoling look. The moment the Peacock King saw this, he immediately felt at ease.
Oh! With master around, they would not let the Phoenix King blame them!
The interaction between the two of them was once again captured by the Phoenix King's eyes. It caused the anger that the Phoenix King had suppressed to rise again.
Actually, Leng ruoxue and the Peacock King's actions were extremely normal. However, in the eyes of the Phoenix King who was burning with jealousy, they were extremely unpleasing to the eye.
Right at this moment, the Phoenix King's trusted aide, the head butler, ran into the main hall with a flustered look on his face. With a long face, he cried out in tears,""King, it's not good! Our treasure room has been broken into. "
"What did you just say?" When the Phoenix King heard this, he stood up from his throne with a whoosh.
"Your Majesty, the treasure room has been broken into. The medicinal herbs and ores inside have all disappeared." The trusted Butler of the Phoenix King trembled as he reported. His pretty little face was as pale as snow, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"This is impossible!" The Phoenix King said angrily. Then, she teleported and disappeared.
As for Leng ruoxue, she remained calm and composed as she sat on the chair. On the other hand, Peacock King could not help but remind her,""Master, should we find an excuse to leave? otherwise, the Phoenix King will not let us off."
"Why won't you let us go? We're just sitting here, she can't possibly blame us for what she lost!" Leng ruoxue replied disapprovingly.
"Master, the Phoenix King loves to vent her anger. Even if she has no evidence to prove that we stole those things, she will still think that we are suspicious. In short, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." The Peacock King said worriedly.
"No, we can't leave now. We came here openly, so we have to leave openly. If we leave now, the Phoenix King will have a higher chance to pin the theft on us. At that time, she will fan the fire, and we may be hunted down by the four great king divine beast clans. What do you think?" Leng ruoxue advised the Peacock King with a heavy heart.
The Peacock King thought that it made sense. He no longer tried to persuade his master to leave. Instead, he sat on the chair with a calm heart.
Not long after, the space in front of them distorted, and the angry Phoenix King appeared with a face that was darker than the bottom of a pot. The next second, the Phoenix King roared,""Men!"
"Thump thump thump!" Many guards pushed the door open and entered under the lead of the head butler, Prince Feng's trusted aide.
"Lock these guys up!" The Phoenix King pointed at Leng ruoxue and the group of peacocks.
"What is the meaning of this, Phoenix Prince?" Hearing the Phoenix Prince's words, Leng ruoxue raised her brows and asked indifferently.
"Hmph! What did he mean? You're the biggest suspect in the theft of the Feng clan!" The Phoenix King roared, and his face darkened even more.
This time, she couldn't suppress her anger at all. The treasures of the Feng clan for hundreds of thousands of years had disappeared just like that. She didn't even know who did it. How could she not be angry? Therefore, Lord Lian Wu, who had come to trade with her, naturally became her punching bag.
At this moment, she couldn't care that this Lord lianwu was one of that B * tch, Wuyan's people, Hmph! The Feng clan had been robbed, and this woman had to be a suspect. Otherwise, who could she vent her anger on?
It had to be said that the Peacock King knew the Phoenix King quite well. Under the circumstances that he didn't know who the thief was, the Phoenix King could only force the matter on Lian Wu's head, treating them as suspects and venting his anger on them. Who asked the only outsider in the Phoenix territory to be this woman?
If the Feng clan lost something, who else could they look for other than her? This time, this hateful woman can forget about escaping! The Phoenix King thought to herself hatefully. She had already decided in her heart that she would definitely teach this woman a lesson. She wanted to let this ugly woman know the consequences of going against her.
In just a short moment, the Phoenix King had not only identified Leng ruoxue as the biggest suspect in the theft case, but had even thought of how to torture her. When she thought about how she would have the chance to torture this damned woman and the Peacock King, the anger she felt towards the theft miraculously dissipated.
"Phoenix King, do you have any evidence?" Leng ruoxue asked with a faint smile.
"Hmph! There's no need for evidence, you can't escape responsibility for this!" The Phoenix King pretended to be certain, but deep down, she was gritting her teeth in hatred. Leng ruoxue's calm and composed expression made it seem as if she was mocking her. She was an eyesore.
"Convicting someone without evidence? Was this a rule set by the Divine Master's estate? Moreover, according to your excuse, I just lost a piece of low-grade crystal in your Palace. You must have stolen it! You can't escape this, so I'm going to arrest you and interrogate you. What do you think?" Leng ruoxue said in an infuriating manner.
Upon hearing their Master's words, the peacocks around them all burst out in laughter. There were even some peacocks who were not afraid of death, and they started jeering,""Your Excellency, quickly capture this Phoenix King who may have stolen your low-grade crystal! We'll be in charge of interrogating him for you. "
The peacocks assumed a position that they would immediately capture people if their master gave the order. The first elder and the guards, who were the Phoenix King's trusted aide and wanted to capture Lord Lian Wu and the peacocks, were all dumbfounded and petrified.
The words of Leng ruoxue and a certain Peacock made the Phoenix King so angry that the blood in her body flowed backward. A sweet and fishy taste surged out of her throat. In an instant, her mouth was filled with the taste of blood. However, the Phoenix King endured it and swallowed the blood that she had almost spat out.
"Damn it, would I steal a low-grade crystal from you?" The Phoenix King's eyes were spitting fire as he roared.
"It's hard to say," Leng ruoxue was calm and composed.
"What evidence do you have?" The Phoenix King gritted his teeth and asked while suppressing his anger.
"There's no need for evidence. You're definitely involved in this. " Leng ruoxue returned his words.
"You, you ..." The Phoenix King pointed at Leng ruoxue with hatred. She was so angry that she could not even form a complete sentence.
However, Leng ruoxue did not seem to mind and continued to look at the Phoenix King calmly.
The Phoenix King was furious.
For a long time, the Phoenix King's face darkened and he was speechless. Seeing this, Leng ruoxue did not disturb the Phoenix King's thoughts. She just sat quietly on the chair and watched her.
Half a day passed by quickly.
In the end, the Phoenix King had no choice but to compromise,""Sir Lian Wu, the theft of our Phoenix Clan is a big matter, so please forgive me for not being calm just now. However, please understand and assist us in our investigation. Of course, we won't only investigate you. Anyone who has entered and left the Phoenix territory will become our investigation target."
The Phoenix King's words were reasonable. She apologized and asked for Leng ruoxue's understanding. Leng ruoxue was at a loss for words. Furthermore, she did not expect the Phoenix King to be so flexible! He was obviously furious, but after thinking for so long, he could still calm down. With such endurance, it was no wonder that the Phoenix King could successfully usurp the throne.
