The snowy white magical beasts were squirming on the ground.

“They’re not worms, are they?” Huo Shan noticed the strange appearance of the magical beasts.

Feng Wu didn’t know what they were, but Little Phoenix was already talking in her head.

“Gosh, aren’t these Spirit Stone Worms? They’re longer than the height of humans now. That was fast.” The bird sounded amazed.

Feng Wu asked curiously, “Do you know what they are?”

Little Phoenix said, “Of course I do! I supervised the construction of this Secret Essence Mine! I know better than anyone else!”

Feng Wu suddenly realized something. “Didn’t Lu Mingzong, the founder of Imperial College, build this mine?”

Little Phoenix said, “Yes, he is your senior…”

It stopped abruptly, realizing that it had revealed some confidential information.

Feng Wu was curious.

“What did you say? Who is Lu Mingzong to me? Senior what?”

Little Phoenix wouldn’t say anything.

“Birdie?” Feng Wu asked.

“Don’t call me that! It sounds awful!” Little Phoenix complained.

Feng Wu said, “If you don’t answer me, I’ll call you birdie from now on.”

“You’re so annoying!” Feng Wu was driving the bird crazy. It was supposed to be Boss Phoenix, not some “birdie.” What a horrible nickname!

“Fine! Fine! I’ll tell you!” Little Phoenix snapped. “Lu Mingzong is your senior brother.”

“What?! My senior brother? As in my master’s eldest disciple?!”

“Yes.” Little Phoenix nodded.

Feng Wu said, “Wasn’t Lu Mingzong supposed to be the most powerful cultivator of the Junwu Empire before Master Linghu came along?”

Little Phoenix didn’t answer.

Feng Wu asked, “Where is he now? Rumor is that he’s gone missing, but no one can say for sure that he’s dead. Where is he?”

Little Phoenix still didn’t answer.

Feng Wu asked, “Why won’t you answer me? Am I missing something?”

Little Phoenix said, “You can call me whatever you want. I’m not going to tell you!”

Feng Wu pleaded, “But I want to know…”

Little Phoenix said, “In that case, you better finish the last two missions. That way, your beautiful master will wake up. He’s always doted on you. I’m sure you can trick him into telling you…

“If I say the wrong thing, he’ll probably strangle me!”

The bird wouldn’t admit that it was jealous.

Feng Wu had no idea what the bird was thinking. Seeing that she wasn’t going to get an answer, she said grumpily, “Fine! I’m working on it, but the task is so tricky!”

She had been working hard to convince Zuo Qingluan that Jun Linyuan was in love with her, but Zuo Qingluan just wouldn’t buy it.

Feng Wu decided that she would put more effort into it.

“Feng Wu? Feng Wu?”
