noon.

The small courtyard where the old master Zhuque lives.

Li Ziye came over on time to eat fish.

Eating fish is false, but gathering information is true.

The steamed big herring has a rich aroma. An old man and a young man are sitting at the table, grabbing the fish on the plate like a whirlwind.

"Chirp."

Beside, the little Zhu bird screamed anxiously. When Li Ziye saw this, while grabbing the fish meat, he cut off the tail of the whole fish and threw it to the little stupid bird.

Two against one.

The old master of Suzaku was completely defeated.

"tasty."

Ten breaths later, after finishing the herring, Li Ziye leaned back on the chair with a satisfied look on his face and said with his eyes closed.

"It's just too little."

Opposite me, Old Suzaku glanced at the fish bones on the plate and replied.

"Too much is too little."

Li Ziye savored the smell of fish and said, "This feeling is the best."

"You're quite contented, kid." Old Suzaku said with a hint of contentment.

"I've always been content."

Li Ziye opened his eyes and smiled, "I will always be happy with what I have."

"Young men should be greedy."

Old Zhuque said seriously, "Only in this way can we have the motivation to make progress."

"Satisfaction and progress are not in conflict."

Li Ziye stretched his body and said, "Old sect master, where is your saintess? Why haven't you seen her yet?"

"Retreating."

Old Suzaku replied, "In preparation for the decisive battle in more than ten days, Lin'er has been in seclusion for more than half a year."

"What state has it reached?"

Li Ziye asked with great concern.

"Middle of the fourth realm."

Old Suzaku responded with some uncertainty, "I just made a breakthrough a few days ago. I thought it would be no problem to hit you, so I didn't pay any more attention to it."

"That's what I said."

Li Ziye rolled his eyes and said, "As the saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated. You must have a humble mentality at all times, so that your opponents will not take advantage of you."

"It's not like I'm beating you."

Old Suzaku said angrily, "When you and I were fighting for fish, Lin'er was still practicing. Why are you not in a hurry?"

"What's the use of being anxious."

Li Ziye reached out and poked the little silly bird's beak and said, "I've done everything I should and shouldn't do. There are still more than ten days left, and I don't have time to do anything else."

"From the time when the eight meridians were blocked and unable to practice, it took less than three years to reach the fourth level in half a step, which is quite impressive."

Old Suzaku said with emotion, "It's good to be rich and powerful. To be honest, I was really worried that you would break into the fourth realm."

"Old guy, don't be complacent. There are still more than ten days left, so nothing may happen."

Li Ziye glanced at the old guy in front of him and said, "By the way, there is one thing I have never understood. What is the relationship between Zhu Zhu and Huo Lin'er?"

"Zhu Zhu is Huo Lin'er, but Huo Lin'er is not Zhu Zhu." Old Zhuque replied.

"Speaking in human language, I don't understand."

Li Ziye said angrily, "I'm just annoying you old guys. You always say half of what you say and hide half of what you say."

"This involves a secret of our Vermillion Bird Sect."

Old Zhuque hesitated for a moment and replied, "I can only tell you that in a sense, Zhu Zhu is Huo Lin'er, but the Zhu Zhu you know may never appear again."

Hearing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Old sect leader, was it your idea to let Zhu Zhu go to Li Garden?"

"no."

Old Zhuque shook his head and said, "It was Zhu Zhu's own idea, I just didn't stop it."

Li Ziye heard it and looked thoughtful.

There is no doubt that the Suzaku Saint he knows is Zhu Zhu, not Huo Lin'er. Before that, Zhu Zhu went to Li Garden for some purpose.

I can't figure it out.

Is it possible that Zhu Zhu and Huo Lin'er are schizophrenic?

Thinking of this, Li Ziye looked at the old man in front of him and asked, "Old sect master, when will Huo Lin'er be released from seclusion? I want to see her."

"It's hard to say."

Old Suzaku said uncertainly, "Maybe I can get out of seclusion today, maybe I have to wait until the day of your decisive battle."

"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. I don't understand after asking three questions. Go back to my second brother and teach me some Taoist secret techniques."

Li Ziye said something, stood up and left.

"Chirp."

On the table, the little Zhuniao saw this and immediately flapped its wings to follow.

"Retreat?"

Outside the courtyard, Li Ziye looked back at the courtyard behind him and said with disdain, "Shut up, uncle."

After saying that, Li Ziye left quickly.

While the people of the Suzaku Sect were still unprepared, he asked someone to inquire. He had to find a way to meet the Huo Lin'er. Only by knowing himself and the enemy could he be able to fight without danger.

If there is a chance, give her some medicine.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Brother, may I ask where the saintess of your sect is? What, I don't know? Aren't you a disciple of the Suzaku sect? Oh, I'm just a cook. Sorry, sorry, you all have the same clothes. I admit it."

"Sister, please tell me, what? You don't know? I haven't asked you a question yet, how do you know what I want to ask? The old sect master told me? His uncle."

"this……"

On the way, Li Ziye asked several people in succession, but no one was willing to tell him the whereabouts of Huo Lin'er.

Old Suzaku seemed to have expected that Li would play dirty tricks on that night, so he took the preemptive action and forbade all the disciples of the Suzaku Sect from revealing the whereabouts of the Suzaku Saint.

"Old guy!"

After Li Ziye asked several people, he gritted his teeth angrily.

How despicable.

"Lao Fu."

Another half an hour later, Li Ziye found the Suzaku Holy Son and asked, "Just tell me, we are so familiar with each other, you tell me secretly, the old man doesn't know."

"Can't say."

Fu Tianxi had a headache due to the fool in front of him, but his expression remained calm and he responded.

"In this case, if you tell me the whereabouts of Huo Lin'er, I will give you Fengqi Mu." Li Ziye gritted his teeth and said.

When Fu Tianxi heard this, he looked startled, but quickly recovered and said, "I don't believe you, please give me the things first."

"Lao Fu, your words hurt my heart so much."

Li Ziye looked distressed and said, "After all, we are friends who share the same hardships. Why don't you even have this little trust in me?"

"Phoenix Wood."

Fu Tianxi was unmoved, stretched out his hand and said calmly.

"Here you go, how big a deal it is."

Li Ziye took Feng Qimu out of his arms, put it into the former's hand, and said seriously, "Okay, let's talk."

Fu Tianxi was stunned when he saw the piece of wood in his hand that was smaller than a palm, and said, "Why is there only so little left?"

"That little silly bird ate them all."

Li Ziye grinned and urged, "Hurry up, I've given you everything. You have to keep your promises."

Fu Tianxi looked helpless, put away the Feng Qimu, which was no bigger than a palm, and said, "Suzaku statue."

"Idol?"
