The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 858: Ji Yuan Told Bai Xifeng About Taotie
They also showed what they had taken away from these people. Well, not everything, though, but it was enough to convince Jin Huan.
Jin Huan gathered his team to go and catch these people. When they arrived at the place, most of those people were still lying on the ground. They had been beaten so badly. Those people recognised Jin Huan and his subordinates. They did not expect that those brats would contact Jin Huan to catch him and his group.
The leader of the group told Jin Huan about the things that Xie Family members had taken from them. However, Jin Huan brushed it off by saying it was their reward for helping him catch the group. The leader of the group ended up fainting because of this.
"That’s great. How much money that you rob, I mean, take from them?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Hmm... Probably 12 million taels in total. We divide and share everything." Xie Lanying said.
After that, Bai Xifeng excused herself. She had to go to the Inscriber Division. It was about time for her class. After leaving the restaurant, Tao-chan got out of the contracted beast space and stayed on Bai Xifeng’s shoulder.
"Why are you coming out?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"I am bored," Tao-chan said.
"Oh..." Bai Xifeng just replied that. She did not force Tao-chan to go into the contracted beast space.
Bai Xifeng arrived at the Inscriber Division. She placed her badge and entered the division. She walked to the building. She saw Ji Yuan and was about to greet him, but Ji Yuan suddenly looked at her.
"You..." Ji Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"Teacher?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head.
"Why is that with you?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Huh? What?" Bai Xifeng did not understand. Then, she remembered Tao-chan, who was on her shoulder. "Oh... It is Tao-chan."
"Huh?" Ji Yuan was dumbfounded. "What?"
"It is my contracted beast, Tao-chan." Bai Xifeng explained.
Ji Yuan became more speechless. This girl made one of the Four Perils beasts her contracted beast. How could that be? How did she meet him? Taotie should be sealed right now. But the small beast on the girl’s shoulder was unmistakably Taotie.
"How do you find him?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Oh... I found him when I was doing the entrance exam in the cave that was full of arrays." Bai Xifeng stated.
"Then, how do you perform the contract ritual with him?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Well, I don’t do it. He formed the contract with me himself." Bai Xifeng stated.
"What?" Ji Yuan was flabbergasted. "Why did he do it?"
"Because she can cook delicious food for me," Tao-chan answered.
Ji Yuan turned to Tao-chan. Tao-chan jumped to the ground.
"Do you have problems with me?" Tao-chan asked.
Ji Yuan did not know what to say to Tao-chan. Then, he sighed. Maybe it was a fate.
"I just have one thing to say to you. Don’t cause trouble for your master." Ji Yuan said.
"I am not stupid. I know that. If she is in trouble, she might not be able to cook for me." Tao-chan said.
"Tao-chan, you really see me as your personal chef." Bai Xifeng said.
"Do you just realise that?" Tao-chan smirked.
"Then, you should not reveal yourself so casually." Ji Yuan said.
"Why is that, Teacher Ji?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"You really don’t know about that?" Ji Yuan asked back.
Bai Xifeng shook her head. Ji Yuan sighed. This girl is really ignorant.
Ji Yuan began his lecture about the origin of Taotie. Bai Xifeng listened with great interest. It was her chance to know more about Taotie. Ji Yuan stated the Taotie had been sealed for 1,000 years. The one who sealed him was the founder of the Tianlong School. He had been sealed because of his power to devour everything.
The cultivators were almost extinct because of Taotie. He ate everyone in his way. That was the reason for being sealed.
"I suggest you don’t let other teachers see him. Otherwise, you will be in danger." Ji Yuan stated.
"You mean..." Bai Xifeng frowned.
"You might be sealed with him this time." Ji Yuan stated.
"I will fight with them," Tao-chan stated.
"Do you want to endanger her?" Ji Yuan asked.
Tao-chan did not answer that.
"Will the teachers recognise Tao-chan when he is in this form?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Even though he changes his form, he could not hide his Qi. Some people will recognise him instantly." Ji Yuan stated.
Bai Xifeng thought for a moment. "So, he just needs to mask his Qi?"
"What are you planning?" Ji Yuan asked, frowning.
Bai Xifeng just smiled.
’Tao-chan, you should stay in my Mirror World first. They will not be able to sense your Qi.’ Bai Xifeng said.
’You mean the place where those snakes stay?’ Tao-chan asked.
’Yes. Don’t worry if I cook something, I will bring it to you.’ Bai Xifeng stated.
’Fine. If you forget about it, I will fight with those snakes.’ Tao-chan gave a warning.
’Okay.’ Bai Xifeng nodded.
With that, Tao-chan disappeared from their sight. Ji Yuan noticed that. He did not sense Taotie’s Qi at all. It seemed this girl had a way to mask Taotie’s Qi, as she stated earlier.
"Teacher Ji, why are you not reporting this matter to the school?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Do you want to use Taotie for something evil?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Why should I?" Bai Xifeng replied to the question with another question.
"That is my answer." Ji Yuan answered.
