After hearing Mr. Liu's words, Huang Huo fell silent. She clearly understood the meaning behind the words "those people."
"If it weren't for the Starfall incident, we would have gone to Lubic. I can only say that it's fate. They were lucky enough to win the bet."
Mr. Liu rode on his horse and held his sword behind his back. He cupped his hands toward the carriage and said, "But don't worry, Second Miss. Since the Phoenix King has entrusted your safety to me, I will definitely protect you."
"I believe in Mr. Liu."
Huang Huo nodded slightly.
Mr. Liu then bid farewell and left. However, after leaving the carriage, he did not go far. Instead, he rode his horse and chased after Brando, who was not far ahead.
"Mr. Liu, please wait."
Hearing this voice from behind, Brando was not surprised. He tightened the reins in his hands and slowed down the pace of his horse.
He smiled slightly and replied without turning his head, "What can I do for you, Mr. Liu?"
Mr. Liu was slightly stunned. He was shocked by Brando's pure Nine Phoenix language.
He did not know that Brando had the ability to listen and learn at the same time. Moreover, this language was somewhat similar to the Chinese of the future. Brando was also very familiar with the grammar and the way of writing. At this moment, although he had just invested some skill points into this language, he was already very familiar with it.
"Mr. Brando, have you lived in the Nine Phoenix before?"
"Oh, no. But I have a Nine Phoenix friend in Erouine. Coincidentally, I learned the Nine Phoenix language from her," Brando replied.
He was not lying. In his previous life, the only way for players in Erouine to learn the Nine Phoenix language was through the Phoenix language. Naturally, he was no exception. However, in this life, he had actually only interacted with Aike's blind fiancée a few times.
"I see." Mr. Liu was enlightened.
"Mr. Liu, are you here because of what happened just now?" Brando asked in return.
Mr. Liu nodded with a serious expression.
"That guy seems to know you. What's going on? Do you have old grudges with the Lord of Rosaleen?"
"That's not true."
"Then I think there must be something on you that he covets. However, this old man is a little unwise. If it were me, I probably wouldn't make an enemy out of Nine Phoenix because of greed," Brando replied.
Mister Liu smiled bitterly. "Not really. To be honest, this matter may have something to do with my and the second lady's identities. It may be a little troublesome. There may be enemies in Rosaleen who have already targeted us."
"Enemy?" Brando was slightly surprised. He knew very little about the Nine Phoenixes, so he didn't know that the Jade Phoenix lineage of the Nine Phoenixes had enemies.
Mister Liu nodded and told him without hesitation, "Mister, you may not know this, but the phoenix has nine surnames, including our Liu family. The Nine Phoenix branch was actually established by nine hidden sects, representing the nine sword sects passed down from the ancient times of the Nine Phoenix."
"These nine sects are the Desert Wind Sect represented by the Jade Phoenix lineage, the Steel Soul Sect passed down by our Liu family, followed by the Rock Dragon, Tiger Claw, Iron Heart, Pious Heart, White Raven, Shadow Hand, and the Sunset Seven Sects, known as the Nine Swords of Dugu. Among these nine swords, the Desert Wind, Iron Heart, and White Raven are the most respected. They are known as the three supreme swords. After the battle of Broken Jade, the remaining five swords in the world all supported the Jade Phoenix lineage as the most respected. Therefore, the Jade Phoenix lineage is also known as the Nine Phoenix Royal Family. "
"The Jade Phoenix said that all males have the surname Feng, while females have the surname Huang. There is a monarch above and a group of officials below. After the monarch, the eldest son will be the heir apparent. Among the females, one can inherit the soul of the Jade Phoenix and inherit the supreme inheritance of the Jade Phoenix lineage. She will become the guardian of the Jade Phoenix lineage, Mage Jade Phoenix."
Brando didn't know much about the Nine Phoenixes, so when he heard these things that might be common knowledge to the Nine Phoenixes, he couldn't help but listen with great interest. However, when he heard this, he still reacted.
"So, Miss Huang Huo …?"
Speaking of this, Mr. Liu nodded, "Second Miss is the most talented descendant of this generation of the Jade Phoenix lineage."
Brando thought of another thing and couldn't help but ask, "I heard that she has an elder sister?"
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Brando. He didn't expect Brando to really know Huang Yu. He only thought that he had mentioned this when he had a long talk with Second Miss by the bonfire last night.
At the mention of that amazing name, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Indeed, Second Miss is right. She does have an elder sister called Huang Yu. Miss Huang Yu may be the most outstanding descendant in the history of the Jade Phoenix lineage and has the highest compatibility with the soul of the Jade Phoenix. Unfortunately, she went missing during the training seven years ago. Since then, there has been no news of her. "
"It is precisely because of this reason that Second Miss has to embark on this path. Compared with her other sisters, she can be said to be the best choice left in the Jade Phoenix lineage. Therefore, she can't afford to lose."
"Can't afford to lose?"
"This is what I want to talk to you about, Mr. Brando. In fact, the Jade Phoenix lineage in the Nine Phoenix lineage is not smooth sailing. In ancient times, the Nine Phoenix lineage got its name from the ancient black bird Ghost Chariot. When our country was just established, the people who led the other eight major sword sects were actually the Ghost Chariot Clan, whose totem was the ancient mythical beast called Suanni. "
"At that time, the Iron Heart Sword Stream led by Ghost Chariot was the first sword of the Nine Phoenix lineage, followed by the Jade Phoenix lineage's Desert Wind Swordsmanship and the Green Phoenix lineage's White Raven Swordsmanship. At that time, the Nine Phoenix Kingdom had nine swords and could be said to be the most powerful empire in the Nine Phoenix area. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long … "
"Mr. Brando, in the general trend of the Nine Phoenix, those who are righteous get more support while those who are unrighteous get little support. Since the Ghost Chariot lineage became more and more stubborn, cruel and muddle-headed, they were eventually overthrown by the other eight sects. From that moment on, the Jade Phoenix lineage was jointly supported by the remaining families and ascended to the throne."
Brando did not expect the Nine Phoenix to have such a history. However, human history was mostly divided and could not escape the law of history. Therefore, he did not appear too surprised.
However, he could hear the subtext in Mr. Liu's story. The losers would obviously not give up so easily. If the descendants of the Ghost Chariot lineage were still alive, then they were indeed the mortal enemies of the Jade Phoenix lineage.
Sure enough, according to Mr. Liu's description, after the Ghost Chariot Clan lost their orthodox lineage, they went from being in the light to being in the dark. These people called themselves the Night Owls. Although they could not establish themselves in the Nine Phoenix area, they went to places like the Swift Plains and established a huge underground force.
In the past thousand years, the grudge between them and the Jade Phoenix royal family had been accumulating. In fact, there had been hundreds of battles in the open and in the dark.
As early as a few decades ago, the Jade Phoenix royal family joined forces with the Liu family to kill the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of the Ghost Chariot Clan. In less than half a century, the Ghost Chariot Clan returned the favor. It was widely rumored among the people of the Nine Phoenix that Huang Yu's disappearance was due to the Ghost Chariot Clan.
Therefore, today, Huang Huo's training trip had become so important. After the Jade Phoenix clan lost Huang Yu, a once-in-a-thousand-years genius, they could no longer tolerate such a thing happening again. Therefore, according to Mr. Liu, Huang Huo's training trip should have been made an exception and entrusted to him, the most outstanding disciple of the Yunsheng Sect of this generation, to be her bodyguard.
However, among the descendants of the Ghost Chariot, there was a genius who was on par with Huang Yu. Although Mr. Liu had not seen this person, according to the rumors around the Swift Plains and Taigu Strait, this person was comparable to the first generation of the Ghost Chariot Clan, the founder of the Iron Heart Sword Sect.
When Brando heard this, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. He thought to himself, Another genius. Huang Yu was the Chosen One, and her sister seemed to be on par with her. This so-called descendant of the Ghost Chariot seemed to be a genius on par with the former.
This era was indeed an eventful one.
"So, Mr. Liu suspects that the Ghost Chariot is already in front of you and that Rosaleen has his eyes on you?" Brando asked, "But it's a little strange. You just set off from Tormulo. Even if someone leaked the news, they would not be ahead of you. How did the people of the Ghost Chariot know your whereabouts?"
Mr. Liu shook his head. Clearly, he did not understand this point.
He only answered, "Mr. Brando, the Ghost Chariot lineage has been operating in the Swift Plains for many years and is very powerful. This is also the reason why the second lady and I are unwilling to go back to Nine Phoenix through the Swift Plains. Now that they have arrived at Rosaleen, it is impossible for us to avoid them. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my promise and let Mr. Brando travel with us. "
"Why?" Brando asked.
"The grudge between the Ghost Chariot and the Jade Phoenix clan is an internal matter of Nine Phoenix. I am really embarrassed to let you get involved. Besides, although Mr. Brando is not afraid of these clowns, it is always troublesome to be targeted by the Ghost Chariot. The Jade Phoenix clan and I have no reason to let our guests get into trouble because of our family matters. "
Mr. Liu answered in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. This answer made Brando look at him in a new light, so much so that his impression of Nine Phoenix became much better. No matter what, this calm integrity was much higher than the Wohnde nobles that he had seen before.
However, he did not comment on this. Although he wanted to help, he did not need to make a solemn vow. However, the chaotic situation in the Swift Plains and Nine Phoenix that Mr. Liu mentioned made him a little worried.
After all, the Nine Phoenix Kingdom was not stable. In Mr. Liu's words, it was actually because of the competition for the throne that caused the outer regions of Nine Phoenix to be so turbulent. Thinking of the bloody competition for the throne in his memory, Brando had to reconsider his plan to go from Nine Phoenix to Erouine.
After all, Erouine was facing the invasion of Madara and the arrival of the Twilight Will. He did not want to be involved in these disputes. In fact, he did not have much time to waste.
He thought for a moment before asking, "Mr. Liu, do you want to go to Nine Phoenix?
Then, he asked, "Mr. Liu, if I want to go from Rosaleen to Nine Phoenix and then return to Wohnde, which route is the most convenient?"
Going through Madara might be an option, but it was always a last resort. Unlike what people imagined, crossing the Sea of the Dead Moon was definitely a huge project. The territory of Black Rose in Bramanto stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and there were exits in all directions. After the War Slate descended and reestablished the order in Wohnde, relying on the method of determining direction in the past was likely to be troublesome. If one did not prepare in advance, no one knew where they would end up.
Not to mention the other troubles that one would encounter during the trip.
