49: Phoenix

Moreover, although the Qin Family's strength was formidable, and on the surface, no one was willing to oppose the Qin Family, in the shadows, there might be some Ancient Clans dissatisfied with the Qin Family.

After all, at the height the Qin Family stood, they had offended quite a few people.

These people dared not target the Qin Family openly, but for someone like Qin Lianer who snuck out of the Qin Family, they would certainly show no mercy.

However, this girl was not stupid.

She knew to bring guards when sneaking out, unlike some heroines with Luck who would constantly ditch their guards to go out and fool around, only to be saved by a Son of Destiny...

"Brother, are you angry?" Xiao Lianer asked in a low voice, seeming a bit lacking in confidence.

Qin Jiang shook his head. "Alright, in the future, if you want to go out, just tell me, and I will arrange guards for you."

"Really?" Xiao Lianer's big eyes brightened, and she hugged Qin Jiang's arm tightly. "In the future, when you go out, take me with you."

Looking at her expectant gaze, Qin Jiang pondered slightly. He actually had the idea of taking Xiao Lianer out for a spin, because he felt that Xiao Lianer seemed to be able to attract a Son of Destiny.

First it was Xiao Fan, and now it was Lin Chen.

Up until now, he had encountered a total of three Sons of Destiny, and among them, two were only able to get connected with Qin Jiang because of Xiao Lianer.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiang's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "Alright, next time I go out, I'll take you with me."

"Wow, love you, Brother!" Xiao Lianer was overjoyed, hugging Qin Jiang's arm and bouncing non-stop.

"Right, tell me, how did you meet Bai Susu?" Looking at the excited Xiao Lianer, Qin Jiang smiled and returned to the main topic.

Xiao Lianer recalled for a moment and then said, "A few days ago, I snuck out of the house and happened to arrive at Saint Sword City. Not long after, I ran into Sister-in-law SuSu. I saw that she was pretty, and I thought you would like her, Brother. So, I grabbed her and brought her back."

"It's that simple?" "Yeah." Xiao Lianer nodded.

Qin Jiang asked in surprise, "What about the process?" "Hmm?" Xiao Lianer's little face scrunched up. "There wasn't really a process. I just went up to strike up a conversation, saying I got lost from my family and was scared being alone, so I wanted her to accompany me home. Then she followed me, and when we reached a secluded place, I ordered people to capture her. Actually, Sister-in-law SuSu is still very kind."

Finally, Xiao Lianer even gave an evaluation. Hearing the evaluation, Qin Jiang almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Bai Susu was kind, but she had been scammed by you, a little villain.

However... "She didn't have any guards with her?" Qin Jiang asked in confusion.

Xiao Lianer shook her head. "No. It was just Sister-in-law SuSu alone. After I captured her, I realized that Sister-in-law SuSu was actually the daughter of the Saint Sword Sect Master. I was worried that the Saint Sword Sect would send people to snatch her back, so I rushed back immediately. Moreover, I ordered people to erase all traces. Hehe, I bet even now, the Saint Sword Sect doesn't know who took Sister-in-law SuSu away."

Hearing this, the corner of Qin Jiang's mouth twitched. You can't judge a book by its cover; Xiao Lianer was truly thorough in her actions.

As for Bai Susu, for her to go out without a single guard, tsk, she was bound to face this tribulation sooner or later. To be able to meet him during this tribulation, Bai Susu was truly lucky.

"Brother, am I amazing?" Xiao Lianer's little face was proud.

Qin Jiang raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead. "It's fortunate that Bai Susu didn't have guards with her. If a conflict had really broken out, but in the territory of the Saint Sword Sect, wouldn't you have suffered a great loss?"

Being reprimanded by Qin Jiang, Xiao Lianer pouted, but she didn't refute, just looked at him with a pitiful expression. Qin Jiang: "..."

What he couldn't stand the most was this expression from Xiao Lianer. He smiled helplessly. "Alright, you are the most amazing."

Qin Jiang praised her, and a smile immediately appeared on Xiao Lianer's face, not caring whether Qin Jiang was just brushing her off.

Looking at such an easy-to-coax younger sister, Qin Jiang dotingly rubbed her head, and suddenly remembered the Phoenix Egg he had just obtained. "Lianer, I have a gift for you." Qin Jiang said.

He took out the Phoenix Egg. Good heavens, it was half a person's size. Qin Jiang weighed it, and it was quite heavy.

Xiao Lianer's expression went blank; it was her first time seeing such a big egg, but soon, she became excited again. "Brother, are we going to boil it to eat?" Such a big egg must be delicious!

Qin Jiang's face darkened. "This is a Phoenix Egg. Inside is a little Phoenix, a true Divine Beast!"

Clang! At this moment, a ringing sound came from within Xiao Lianer, and the Phoenix Sword flew out, excitedly circling around the Phoenix Egg.

Looking at the Phoenix Sword, Qin Jiang nodded slightly. This Emperor Weapon possessed considerable combat power on its own, and now that it had recognized Xiao Lianer as its master, it counted as one of her personal bodyguards.

"A Phoenix Egg?" Xiao Lianer's little mouth opened slightly. She stretched out her small hand and stroked the Phoenix Egg, and to her surprise, she felt that the spiritual power within her body became much more active, and at the same time, the Phoenix Egg trembled slightly. It seemed like the little Phoenix inside was responding to Xiao Lianer.

A look of joy appeared on Xiao Lianer's pretty face. Her spiritual power moved, and she directly conjured flames, enveloping the entire Phoenix Egg.

"Damn!" Qin Jiang was startled. Was Xiao Lianer going to roast it directly?

"Brother, don't worry, the little Phoenix inside needs enough fire-attribute energy to successfully break out of its shell." Xiao Lianer didn't forget to explain.

Hearing this, Qin Jiang reacted. This was a Phoenix Egg, born close to flames, so it shouldn't be afraid of fire. "Lianer, how did you know that?" He was a bit curious.

Xiao Lianer controlled the flames with one hand and pointed at the Phoenix Egg with the other. "She told me."

Looking at the Phoenix Egg turning itself over in the flames, Qin Jiang grinned slightly. However, he was still very happy that the Phoenix Egg could acknowledge Xiao Lianer.

"Fire attribute..." Qin Jiang's heart stirred. The next moment, a bead appeared in his palm. The Fire Spirit Pearl. This was Xiao Fan's Opportunity, which had been intercepted by Qin Jiang.

"Eh?" As soon as he took out the Fire Spirit Pearl, Xiao Lianer looked over, her face full of surprise. "Brother, what is this? Such a rich fire-attribute aura."

"You like it? Here, it's for you." Qin Jiang smiled slightly and handed it directly to Xiao Lianer.

Her Nirvana Divine Body was also a fire-attribute divine body, so this Fire Spirit Pearl should be of no small use to her.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Lianer touched the Fire Spirit Pearl, the bead, which had been lifeless in Qin Jiang's hand, actually bloomed with a hazy light. Immediately, it turned into a streak of light and shot into the center of Xiao Lianer's forehead.

Seeing this scene, Qin Jiang was not worried. In the plot, Xiao Fan had the same encounter. This meant that the Fire Spirit Pearl had chosen Xiao Lianer. And as a Lifebound Treasure for a Son of Destiny, this Fire Spirit Pearl had huge room for development; it was probably even more precious than the Phoenix Egg.
