Before he could finish, one of the two youngsters cried out: “Ah, it’s that Zhou Ying! Why is he relying on help from the demon race?”

“Who knows?” That person shrugged, “He must’ve relied on the demons, why else would he steal the Jade Cloud Pearl when he was fine where he was with the Soaring Cloud Sect? Nobody knew he was relying on the demon race before, but Elder Qiu went missing recently and it was discovered that he was the one that killed him. Elder Qiu left a letter right before his death, it said that he had already found out Zhou Ying was relying on help from the demon race, if he died, it must be by Zhou Ying’s hand. Elder Qiu’s corpse was found a few days ago by Elder Lou, and he decided to tidy up the sect.”

When Bai Yang, who was standing behind them, heard that, his chest tightened. Sure enough, Lou Jianfeng had made a move, and that move was to frame the male lead so he could harm him without hiding it.

The other youngster seemed a bit calmer, “I remember Zhou Ying once saved Phoenix City’s Lord’s daughter, and was very chivalrous. We shouldn’t be rash and say that he seeked help from the demon race without concrete evidence.”

“What do you mean by no evidence? Is Elder Qiu’s letter not evidence?” The other youngster rebutted, “Even Master Lou from the Soaring Cloud Sect said he was a traitor, isn’t set in stone now? I thought it was strange that over two hundred people died the day of the Hidden Flower Mirage and that he was the only survivor. On top of that, he obtained the Dragon Blade, what kind of good luck is that? I say that he was already in cahoots with the demon race then, how else would an irrelevant beginner like him survive? Wasn’t he supposed to be hacked into pieces after the Hidden Flower Mirage? But then the demon race suddenly came and captured him, isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”

Hearing that, the others nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, that’s right, it all makes sense.”

Their discussion caught the attention of the others in the line, the line was too long and everyone was bored out of their minds, so they came over to discuss as well, “I heard Zhou Ying is the Son of Destiny, that’s why his luck is so good!”

“Nonsense!” The others laughed, “Our Phoenix City’s young master Feng Xiang is the Son of Destiny, how could Zhou Ying compare?”

“That’s right, that’s right……”

The few youngsters from the beginning continued to ask: “Alright, Zhou Ying relied on help from the demon race, what does that have to do with why we’re all lined up here?”

“Didn’t you know that some of the demon race has entered Phoenix City? The City Lord and Master Lou are currently after the demon race and Zhou Ying.” Another person said, “They’ve declared martial law and are strictly questioning everyone that’s coming and going, in case Zhou Ying or the demon race tries to escape.”

Bai Yang quietly listened to their discussions from behind, piecing together the full story.

Zhou Ying has been exposed and is on the run, and is in a very unfavourable and dangerous situation.

“Wow!” A noise of surprise suddenly sounded, attracting Bai Yang’s attention.

Everyone in line began to stir, raising their heads towards the sky of Phoenix City. They only saw a clear enchantment over the huge city, like a dome of glass.

Bai Yang remembered this part in Phoenix City, the male lead was framed by Lou Jianfeng to be with the demon race and got surrounded by many people, narrowly escaping death.

To stop his escape, the Phoenix City’s Lord released the enchanted barrier made to protect the city in times of danger. Once it’s up, nobody can leave.

The enchantment would last for three days. In these three days, the male lead would be hidden in the City Lord’s residence by Feng Ming.

If you wanted to find the male lead, you would have to go to the Lord’s residence.

With a plan in mind, Bai Yang quietly stood in line.

As expected, news was passed down from the front, Phoenix City has already put up its enchanted barrier, only allowing people to enter but not leave, asking everyone to carefully consider this before entering. As everyone heard this, they began to talk amongst themselves again, many leaving the once long line.

Some left because they didn’t have the time, and some left because they didn’t want to become cannon fodder with the city on the verge of war. The line shrunk significantly with their departure.

Bai Yang didn’t dare to act rashly, so he stood quietly in the line, entering the city after about 2 hours.

Even though Bai Yang’s powers had been suppressed quite a bit after entering the human realm, it was still a wild existence. After entering the city, he concealed the air of it and rushed towards the Lord’s residence.

The whole of Phoenix City was heavily guarded, not only were its own sect members on patrol, cultivators from other sects were searching around as well. Bai Yang felt the extremely strong air as he entered the city.

The Dragon Blade on the male lead’s body was a treasure that everyone wanted, no wonder these people rushed over so quickly.

The City Lord also had the Dragon Blade in mind, but he probably never would have thought that the person he was searching for was right under his nose, in his daughter’s chambers.

With his knowledge of the original novel, the male lead would be in Feng Ming’s room. Without wasting time, he concealed his air and turned into a shadow to float into the rear court.

The Lord’s residence wasn’t a place for anyone to come and go as they pleased. Many types of spells were set up inside, if one touched them by accident, everyone would be alerted. But Bai Yang had many ways to deal with them, entering the residence with ease.

He avoided the cultivators and went into the inner courtyard.

There were a lot less cultivators in the inner courtyard, seeing as the women’s bedrooms were located there.

Bai Yang wasn’t someone that thought men and women shouldn’t even touch hands. Turning into a shadow again, he floated towards Feng Ming’s house as the maids weren’t looking. There wasn’t an enchanted barrier over Feng Ming’s room, only a thin wall. As an almighty figure in the demon realm, a wall like that was like nothing to Bai Yang. Using teleportation, he entered the room.

Unfortunately, Feng Ming was inside the room.

Bai Yang immediately flipped up onto the roof beam, becoming a gentleman on the roof beam.

As the male lead’s second concubine, Miss Feng Ming was very pretty, with fair skin, a big chest, and a thin waist. Zhao Qing’er was charming, cute and quirky, while Feng Ming was gentle, dignified, generous, and pretty.

Amongst stallion novels, “Wild Wind” wasn’t very vulgar. The male lead always had a reason as to why he fell in love with another woman, not just because of her looks.

The reason he fell in love with Feng Ming was because he had been expelled from the Soaring Cloud Sect. In the original novel, Lou Jianfeng tried to harm him many times as the antagonist. Zhou Ying was envied by many, and in the end was expelled from the Soaring Cloud Sect. Of course, now, there was another reason——stealing the Jade Cloud Pearl.

Looks like the male lead Zhou Ying took the matter of stealing the Jade Cloud Pearl into his own hands.

He left the Soaring Cloud Sect, and as the daughter of the Head of the Sect, Zhao Qing’er was unable to leave. The two were forced apart.

At his lowest point, Zhao Qing’er wasn’t by his side, and so he met the kind and generous Miss Feng Ming.

At that point, the male lead decided to completely give up on Zhao Qing’er, because he felt that he wasn’t good enough, and he didn’t want to be a burden. At first, he also rejected Feng Ming, but with all that they go through later, they end up liking each other.

Of course, the novel also talked about how although Zhou Ying was happy with Feng Ming, he often missed Zhao Qing’er. Zhao Qing’er was the mark on his heart that couldn’t be erased, someone on his mind but not by his side. Miss Feng Ming knew he loved someone else, yet she fell in love with him regardless.

Miss Feng of Phoenix City didn’t hesitate to go against her father and save the male lead. This greatly touched Zhou Ying, and he fell in love with her.

“Zhou Ying, you have to stay strong.”

The room was decorated very elegantly. Zhou Ying laid quietly on the bed, seemingly unconscious and in a bad condition, his skin pale like paper.

Feng Ming sat beside the bed, crying to herself, “Please wake up! Only three more days, in three days the barrier will be taken down and I’ll take you to find a doctor, you have to hold on.”

“Miss!” A maid’s voice sounded from outside the room.

Feng Ming hurriedly wiped away her tears, raising her voice: “What is it?”

The maid said respectfully: “The Lord is asking you to go to Liuhuang Palace.”

Feng Ming hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up: “I’ll be right there.”

She took another look at the male lead who was still unconscious, grit her teeth, and turned to leave.

The door creaked as it opened then closed, leaving the room in silence.

Bai Yang quietly jumped off the roof beam, walking over to look at Zhou Ying.

His face was pale white, the space between his eyebrows slightly blue. But his lips were very bright, perhaps from lack of air and his disorderly spirituality.

Bai Yang reached out to lay a hand on his forehead, using his own magic power to check. As expected, over half of his meridian vessels had broken, his spirituality in extreme disorder. The fact that he was even able to survive until now is a miracle.

Of course, to survive an attack from the martial arts experts was a miracle in itself.

Bai Yang didn’t dare waste anymore time, taking off his shoes and climbing onto the bed to help heal the male lead.

As he healed the male lead, he still paid attention to the situation outside the room in case someone barged in. An hour passed by just like that.

Concentrating on healing the male lead, he didn’t notice the Mermaid’s Pearl on his neck faintly glowing.

After the hour, Bai Yang helped Zhou Ying unblock his eight extraordinary meridians. His Seven Star Body Constitution activated, and strong waves of spirituality spread out from his Dantian to the rest of his body, nourishing it.

The might of the male lead’s Seven Star Body Constitution lay in two areas: One, allowing him to cultivate and level up extremely quickly; two, allowing his body to heal quickly after injuries. If it wasn’t for his Seven Star Body Constitution, he’d long be dead. There’d be no way he would last long enough to wait for Bai Yang’s help.

Seeing his condition improving, Bai Yang prepared to leave. Right at that moment, Zhou Ying suddenly opened his eyes and yelled out: “Don’t go!”

Bai Yang didn’t think that he would actually wake up, his words startling him. He didn’t want to expose his identity and hurriedly stepped back, turning away to conceal his face. He removed his illusionary spell when he entered the residence. He was currently using his real face.

“Don’t go……” Zhou Ying’s weak voice sounded, then everything went silent.

Bai Yang secretly turned back and saw Zhou Ying had his eyes closed again, probably asleep.

Maybe he wasn’t fully conscious just now.

Bai Yang prayed for nothing to happen as he got off the bed, using teleportation to leave the room.

In three days, Zhou Ying would be safe after waking up and leaving Phoenix City, and he could rush back to Anning Village as soon as possible, the Demon King wouldn’t notice anything.

With that thought, it seemed like everything went smoothly. But Bai Yang didn’t know why his heart was pounding, like something was about to happen.

After he left, the person that was originally unconscious on the bed opened his eyes again. Shock, along with disbelief and thankfulness flashed across his face.
