But even so, he felt that some things seemed fundamentally different from what he imagined.

Because of this, unless this matter is completely resolved, he will not bring ambitious people back to the Divine Land.

All thoughts seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and Chu Chengfeng spoke in a deep voice, "Things must have a beginning and an end, even if there are many trivial matters now, it doesn’t affect future plans."

Sima Xiaowen smiled. A hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes, she always felt that Chu Chengfeng was becoming more and more unpredictable.

It seemed like every time she saw him, there were some new changes.

And this feeling made her somewhat uncomfortable, Sima Xiaowen spoke casually, "Oh, then feel free, pretend I didn’t say anything... "

"Thank you for the reminder," Chu Chengfeng said seriously.

Sima Xiaowen curved her lips, turned around, and left without looking back.

Chu Chengfeng stood in front of the desk, staring blankly at the now empty doorway, slowly moving his gaze away.

Afterward, he turned around and unsurprisingly saw Sima Xiaowen driving away.

Just now, he really wanted to ask if Sima Xiaowen had plans to return to the Divine Land together.

But he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

Then he remembered Liu Ling said she went to handle some matters, and had been away from the Imperial Capital for three days already. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. As far as he knew, the biggest matter for Liu Ling was the Qi Family, but that was resolved, what else could she have?

Thinking for a moment, he picked up the mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Liu Ling.

He thought someone would answer the call, but the call didn’t go through.

What’s going on?

Chu Chengfeng frowned, thinking for a moment, the only explanation could be that Liu Ling is somewhere without mobile signal.

He put down the phone, rubbed his forehead, then dialed the Fourfold Courtyard.

The call was answered by Elder San Ye.

"Mo Li, is there something?"

Elder San Ye was evidently in a good mood, asking him warmly.

"I can’t reach Liu Ling right now. She visited you before she left. Did she say anything?"

Elder San Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not really, why, did you two have a fight?"

"No, I’m just asking. I tried calling her earlier, probably the place she is has no signal."

"Kid, you’re worried," Elder San Ye said teasingly.

Chu Chengfeng smiled noncommittally, changing the topic, "These days it will be hard on you a few, once the Phoenix Clan returns, things will be better."

"Certainly. When they come back, our two clans will merge, strengthening our power. By the way, Elder Sima has already brought back the Red Phoenix."

"The Red Phoenix was lost and regained, not easy, so it needs to be placed somewhere secure, thank you all for your hard work."

Elder San Ye shook his head, but spoke truthfully, "We few old fellows just placed it somewhere secret to guard, the true credit goes to Xiaowen, without her this divine artifact wouldn’t have been retrieved."

Chu Chengfeng softened his tone, "... After returning to the Divine Land, I’ll reward her."

"That’s the best, after all, you grew up together since you were young, after so many years through trials and hardships, don’t become enemies. Our clan members are increasingly fewer now, relying on you young people. If you keep being discordant, when we elders who can’t undergo Nirvana reach that day, we won’t be able to close our eyes."

Although they are from the Phoenix Clan, their Nirvana is limited in number.

Immortality is just a legend.

They merely live longer than others.

But there will eventually be a day of death.

Chu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, speaking solemnly, "Elder, I have remembered your words, alright, I have things to do, you can call me if there’s anything."

Elder San Ye on the other end nodded, Chu Chengfeng discussed some other issues, then put down the phone.

He couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly is Liu Ling doing?

At this time, Liu Ling was already sitting in a car heading to the Imperial Capital.

Recently she was increasingly restless, felt everything was off, whatever she did was unsatisfactory, and most importantly, Mo Li had really changed.

The aura around him had undergone significant transformation.

This made her feel occasionally strange, even with some reverence.

But Liu Ling didn’t like this feeling.

As for Mo Li’s treatment of others, it had nothing to do with her, Liu Ling, but in terms of herself, she shouldn’t feel this way.

Yet she did feel this way.

This was a very contradictory point.

So the only evidence is that Mo Li is slowly becoming distant with her at heart.

If it were her in the past, she might have done many things, but now, as long as she still lives and walks in this city, she has to first think whether her actions would be illegal, whether she would end up in jail, all these things need consideration.

Even if she’s part of the Mystic Sect, she’s not the top member. Regarding Gu Garden, she doesn’t even dare to have the thought of investigating, after all, there are two major figures stationed there.

And the Qin Family’s Courtyard is no different.

Liu Ling had once thought about using other family members of Gu Qiaoqiao to achieve her goals.

But doing so would take a long time, the result might not be satisfactory.

It might even backfire.

After all, her time in this circle was too short, and among Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize’s friends, many had complaints about her, like during the New Year’s Eve gathering when An Xiaotong and Du Tian didn’t attend. Though they had good excuses and reasons, the truth certainly wasn’t like that.

If at that time Chu Chengfeng was still with Sima Xiaowen, could Gu Qiaoqiao not attend?

She certainly would go!

Not only would she go, but she’d also have Qin Yize go along, they’d be as they were before, and if Gu Qiaoqiao went, An Xiaotong would definitely go too, even if they had to bring kids along.

They had done such things before.

But just because the person beside Chu Chengfeng changed to her, many things have changed.

There were a few girls extremely jealous of Gu Qiaoqiao and the others, showing immense goodwill to her, but so what, they had no capability, were ordinary, in terms of background and family, couldn’t compare with the Gu Family and Qin Family at all, what use was it to employ them?

So she didn’t bother to engage with them.

And what made Liu Ling resentful was a beef noodle shop, as because of this shop, Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen would often have some interactions, often together attending meetings, inspections, and even attending some related entrepreneurs’ gatherings.
