Chapter 2684: Chapter 2685: So Many Saintesses

"If you shoot all the feathers off your wings, can you still fly?" Fo Lanying laughed heartily, "What do wings without feathers look like, like chicken wings?"

Lingyu’s face turned crimson with anger, abandoning any strategy, he fiercely lunged at Fo Lanying.

Fo Lanying slightly sidestepped with a look of disdain on her face, did he really think she’d be scared if he got close?

Her gaze was fixed on Lingyu, and before he could approach, he let out a miserable scream and fell from the sky, clutching his head and writhing on the ground.

Fo Lanying turned and made a "v" gesture towards Bai Ruozhu, it was something she had learned from her. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Gao Zhou and the Astrologer stifled their laughter, giving Fo Lanying a thumbs-up.

Lingyu on the ground writhed for a while and finally managed to recover a bit, struggling to get up, but his face was somewhat pale.

"What did you do to me?" Lingyu asked angrily.

Fo Lanying laughed and said, "It’s a Divine Sense attack, don’t you know the Jiuli Clan has this ability?"

"You’re despicable!" Lingyu said furiously.

"How is it despicable?" Bai Ruozhu asked displeased, "If she uses the Jiuli’s skills, it’s considered despicable, then aren’t you sneaking up using your feathers also despicable?"

Lingyu gritted his teeth, "I admit defeat, the Clan Leader is in his room, go find him yourself!"

Upon finishing, he flew off angrily.

Bai Ruozhu and Fo Lanying cheered, high-fived each other, and then burst out laughing, making quite a commotion. Not far off, Lingyu heard them and got so angry he felt a stabbing pain in his head and almost fell from the sky.

"Yo, what’s happening to him?" Fo Lanying asked knowingly.

Bai Ruozhu smirked mischievously, "Probably lost too many feathers, can’t fly steadily."

Fo Lanying laughed heartily, "Ruozhu, you’re so bad."

Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrows, "We each have our moments."

Everyone else laughed, except Luan Xin, whose eyes showed some disappointment.

Bai Ruozhu noticed this but didn’t say anything more. She understood that Luan Xin wasn’t upset because the clan members were embarrassed, but rather disappointed in the Golden Wings Clan’s arrogance.

The five of them then went to find Heluo, and Bai Ruozhu directly shared her findings with him.

Heluo widened his eyes in surprise, "Poisonous Insect? But how did it get in?"

"It was probably brought back by one of your clan members, maybe intentionally or maybe they were unknowingly exploited. Being exploited is okay, I’m more afraid there’s a spy hiding on the island." Bai Ruozhu said.

A cold voice from a woman came from behind, "What spy, I think you guys are the ones sneaking in trying to stir trouble among our clan members."

Bai Ruozhu turned around to see an unfamiliar woman who somewhat resembled the previous Saintess Tian Ning, slightly older, and with an even more arrogant demeanor.

"Why is the Saintess here?" Heluo asked.

Bai Ruozhu and Fo Lanying exchanged glances, wasn’t the previous Tian Ning a Saintess? How come there’s another one now?

"If I didn’t come, wouldn’t the Clan Leader be deceived by others?" The woman raised her chin and said very arrogantly.

Heluo’s expression was somewhat awkward, not arguing with her further, he turned to Bai Ruozhu and the others and said, "Forgot to introduce, this is Saintess Xuan You, all the eligible and unmarried women in the clan become Saintesses. Currently, there are only three Saintesses, and the other Saintess Yin Hen is still in seclusion."

Bai Ruozhu thought, all eligible unmarried women are Saintesses, how many Saintesses are there really? What’s so boastful about that?

After hearing there were only three, the females of the Golden Wings Clan were indeed quite few and far between.

Looking around twice, Heluo didn’t introduce a wife, perhaps he’s still single.

Poor Clan Leader still bachelor, not easy.

Then Heluo introduced the five of them once again, his tone was lighthearted, clearly wanting the atmosphere to be better.

"Hmph, outsiders should follow the rules, not only do you fight with our people when you come, but also stir up discord here." Xuan You said without giving face.

Bai Ruozhu wasn’t too pleased, was it their fault for fighting?

"Heluo Clan Leader, you asked me to check the Fertility Tree, results have been found, whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you. We’ll be leaving first then." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Madam Bai, don’t get upset, Xuan You is straightforward and didn’t realize there was a misunderstanding. What you said, I need to report it to a few elders and have a thorough discussion." Heluo said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "The Clan Leader is a reasonable person, if there’s anything unclear, we can talk again later."

After saying that, she still took her leave with the group, while Xuan You glared at her fiercely.

"Brother, why are you siding with outsiders?" Xuan You angrily stomped her feet.

Heluo shook his head, "This matter indeed was Wen Xuan and his group’s fault, don’t cause trouble anymore, otherwise don’t blame me for disregarding sibling ties."

Bai Ruozhu and her group hadn’t gone far and overheard the conversation between the two.

"No wonder Xuan You is so arrogant, turns out she’s the Clan Leader’s sister." Fo Lanying muttered, "Just like when I used to be the elder’s granddaughter, I thought I was pretty amazing."

Bai Ruozhu didn’t expect her to bring up this matter and couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re way more arrogant than her, at least she hasn’t taken a swing at us yet."

Fo Lanying scratched her head awkwardly, "The past is hard to look back on, it was all youthful and reckless."

The group didn’t hurry back, instead taking a stroll around the island, encountering some Golden Wings Clan people along the way, but they kept their distance, unsure whether it was due to their strength or because of some sort of repulsion.

Gao Zhou shook his head as he looked, "These Birdmen don’t interact with the outside world, always staying in their own little world, their mindset becomes more narrow over time."

"Yeah, each one having average strength but still unbearably arrogant." The Astrologer said.

"If they could hide their wings, travel around, and see the broader world, perhaps their mindset would change." Bai Ruozhu spoke while sneaking a glance at Luan Xin, she thought he might have a solution, at least before Master Pudeng achieved Nirvana, she couldn’t tell Master Pudeng had wings.

Luan Xin lowered his head, his gaze somewhat deep.

Soon it was the agreed time, and the group went to where the banquet was held.

The Golden Wings Clan holds nature in high regard, their banquets involve sitting on the ground, with rough cloth spread out in front with bowls and chopsticks on it.

Heluo arranged for them to sit, and it was the first time Bai Ruozhu saw several elders, all old men with white hair and beards, their wings smaller than the young people’s, probably from muscle atrophy?

Many Golden Wings Clan members attended, with some constantly displeased with them, but also some curious, constantly scrutinizing them.

Saintess Xuan You and Tian Ning also arrived, Tian Ning sat with gentle elegance, while Xuan You had a sullen face, but fortunately didn’t cause trouble.

"Master Gao, sit next to me, let me offer you a few cups later." Heluo said with a smile.

Gao Zhou had a good impression of Heluo, nodded, and sat over.
