Chapter 1148: Acknowledged Her As His Master？
Seeing that Feng Tianlan was very vigilant, Ji You spoke frankly, “The Ice Soul Sword is Lady Phoenix’s Divine Sword. It only recognizes the Lady Phoenix as its master. As the prime minister, naturally I want to guard the Divine Sword’s master.”
This was the reason why, when he first saw the Ice Soul Sword, he made no move to attack her. Reality proved that she could use the Divine Sword freely without experiencing any heaviness at all.
Feng Tianlan lowered her eyes and glanced at the Ice Soul Sword, then raised her eyes to look at Ji You. He was still impartial and his tone of voice was matter-of-fact. From his words, he seemed to be suspecting her identity?
“Only its master can use the Ice Soul Sword, so don’t worry. I won’t try to take the Divine Sword from you, and I won’t do anything to harm you.” On the contrary, he will protect her for the sake of the Divine Sword.
Feng Tianlan put the Ice Soul Sword back into the Pill Scroll Realm indifferently and looked up at the Martial Training Square before them that seemed endless. “My name is Shen Lan. Where is this?”
Listening to her words, Ji You breathed out a sigh of relief and then said, “This should be the second floor of the Earth Soul Pagoda—or higher. This Martial Training Square seems to have no end. You can’t walk out of it no matter how far you go.”
Shen Lan?
Ji You frowned his bold eyebrows and raised his head to look at Feng Tianlan. He had overheard His Majesty saying that he had sent people to the Shang Institution to bring Lady Phoenix back home, and he had heard the name Shen Lan at that time.
Why didn’t His Majesty tell him that he sent someone to pick up Lady Phoenix, instead, doing so in such a private and quiet manner without telling anyone?
The more Ji You thought about it, the more he felt that His Majesty’s actions were strange, so he had left Tianfeng Nation and entered the Earth Soul Pagoda without permission. He planned to reach the Shang Institution and find Lady Phoenix before His Majesty could.
According to His Majesty’s words, it seemed that the Shen Lan in front of him was the Lady Phoenix he was looking for. Thinking this way, Ji You became even more respectful towards Feng Tianlan. He took a step back to show his deference towards his master.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and saw Ji You stepping back. His previously straight back was slightly bent at this time. His attitude seemed to be that of a subordinate towards his master, this made her raise her brows slightly. Was it that he acknowledged her as his master because of the Ice Soul Sword?
“Aren’t you going to bandage the wound?” Feng Tianlan looked at his bleeding shoulder. He was afraid that he might lose her, so he had neglected his wound the entire way?
“Yes.” Ji You responded respectfully and treated it as if she was ordering him to bandage the wound. He took out styptic powder from his Storage Ring and applied the medicine.
Feng Tianlan looked at Ji You’s angular face. He looked very serious and impartial. When he answered her, he looked a bit funny, so she couldn’t help but chuckle.
Hearing her laughter, Ji You looked up and saw that she was smiling dazzlingly. At that moment, it seemed as if even the sun was overshadowed by her smile.
Feeling his gaze on her, Feng Tianlan put away her smile and looked at him coldly.
Her cold eyes made Ji You feel as if he was being stabbed by ice picks, so he hurriedly retracted his gaze and continued to apply the medicine. “Sorry.”
He was clearly just a handsome young man, but he felt that he had met an extraordinary beauty. This beauty had nothing to do with the appearance, but the smile and the temperament that she exuded instead.
Feng Tianlan didn’t speak, but with a cold expression on her face, she spread Nature Spiritual Force throughout the entire Martial Training Square to detect any abnormalities.
Ji You raised his head and glanced at Feng Tianlan once more before applying the medicine but he couldn’t reach his back, so he couldn’t help but frown.
