All people present were clear about what the holy bird of the Qin Continent, the colorful phenix stood for.

The one who got the colorful phenix could control the world.

The Mo Country got the colorful phenix, if nothing else, all people on the Qin Continent might think that the emperor of the Mo Country would replace the declining Holy Monarch Zhou and rule the continent.

He was much more justifiable than the King of the Liang Country who threatened the Holy Monarch and gave orders.

Since Mo Xiangbin dared to show the colorful phenix, he was ready to cope with the other countries’ coveting eyes.

So he answered unhurriedly, “The holy bird of colorful phenix naturally belongs to all people on the Qin Continent, but it is tender and valuable. We can’t take it out and show it to all people, right?”

He was reasonable.

Yelü Anchen was unable to speak a word.

Then Mo Xiangbin added slowly, “What’s more, the colorful phenix is tired and scared after a long journey and needs to have a rest. In a few days, after it has enough rest, all of you can see it.

“What do you think, everybody?”

Zhao Haoran was merely passionate about martial arts. Although he visited the Mo Country on behalf of the Zhao Country, he had no interest in the so-called holy bird. He would rather compete with Shi Qingxue.

“We are guests and should listen to the host. We will do whatever you like, Your Majesty.”

Wei Shuye immediately expressed gently, “We came to the Mo Country to celebrate your birthday, Your Majesty. Even if we don’t have the opportunity to see the colorful phenix now, I think you won’t disappoint us at the birthday party. So why would we be anxious?”

Yelü Anchen had nobody to support him, so he couldn’t make things difficult for them. He stated unhappily, “Since you said that, just wait till the birthday party. I hope that you won’t break your words then, Your Majesty.”

Mo Xiangbin was speechless. When did he say that he would let them see the colorful phenix at the birthday party?

In this case, even if Mo Xiangbin wanted to keep the colorful phenix in secret, he had to let them see it at least once.

The colorful phenix’s residence was decided. Before anybody saw its beauty, it was sent to the East Palace.

No matter what others would think, Mo Junyu was satisfied with the result.

Especially when he met Mo Junyang, he couldn’t help but ask complacently, “Junyang, did I do a good job this time?”

Mo Junyang showed a poker face, responding impassively, “What? Do you think you can take the throne as long as you control the colorful phenix?”

Mo Junyu looked embarrassed and argued in a low voice, “Even if I won’t necessarily take the throne after owning the colorful phenix, at least, with it, Father won’t act rashly no matter how much he values the other princes.”

Mo Junyang didn’t express his opinion but glanced at the big black box casually. “Just raise your colorful phenix carefully. Don’t let others steal it.”

Seeing that Mo Junyang was about to leave, Mo Junyu hurriedly stopped him. “Everybody hopes to see the holy bird. Now the colorful phenix is kept in the East Palace. Aren’t you going to see it before leaving?”

“It’s just a wild bird. Is it worth seeing?” Mo Junyang didn’t look excited, as if the holy bird was inferior to a chicken in his eyes.

Mo Junyu was dumbfounded, thinking that Mo Junyang was arrogant and didn’t even take the holy bird seriously.

However, if Mo Junyu knew that in the previous life, Mo Junyang defeated the other three countries and destroyed the power symbol of the Qin Continent for thousands of years, the Holy Monarch and there was only one ruler, Emperor Ruishang left on the continent, he might not be so surprised.

Mo Junyang didn’t plan to explain to Mo Junyu but left the East Palace directly.

When he passed a row of bo-trees after walking out of the gates of the East Palace, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said casually, “Get out!”

He waited for a while and there was no sound. It was so quiet around that there was only his breath.

“Qingxue.”

He called the name indifferently but accurately.

This time, Shi Qingxue couldn’t take chances anymore and walked out from behind a tree.

“How did you know that I am here?” Shi Qingxue asked awkwardly. She hadn’t expected that she would be found immediately after she hid herself so well. It was really a blunder.

Mo Junyang asked in reply, “What did you hear just now?”

Shi Qingxue looked more embarrassed and rolled her eyes, with no courage to look at Mo Junyang. She stuttered for quite a while but didn’t give an answer.

“Hmm?” Mo Junyang waited patiently.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it from him, Shi Qingxue had to respond frankly, “I have heard everything, but I didn’t mean it.”

Speaking of which, she was resentful.

She came to the East Palace secretly just to see the colorful phenix’s majesty, and she didn’t want to eavesdrop on their secret conversation.

But Mo Junyu must be on cloud nine as he “got” the colorful phenix. As soon as he entered the gates of the East Palace, he was anxious to show off in front of Mo Junyang.

His voice was very loud, so Shi Qingxue heard that, but she didn’t listen in.

Mo Junyang bit his lower lip and seemed at a loss for words. He stared at Qingxue with his deep eyes for a long time and then expressed hesitantly, “You…”

“I didn’t want to see you!” Shi Qingxue denied firmly and didn’t care if she would expose herself unwittingly while trying to cover up as she said in such a hurry.

She didn’t look at Mo Junyang and rubbed her hands, saying, “It appears that I won’t see the colorful phenix today. I am going home now.”

Afterward, she turned to leave.

Mo Junyang grabbed her arm before she left and furrowed his brows, asking with displeasure, “Why do you want to run away?”

Shi Qingxue was more flustered while hearing his voice and argued in an instant, “I said I wouldn’t see you, so I won’t see you on purpose. Don’t worry that I will…” pester you.

Before she finished her words, Mo Junyang interrupted her coldly, “I didn’t agree.”

“Ah?”

Shi Qingxue was stunned and didn’t understand what Mo Junyang meant.

Mo Junyang grabbed her harder. He wouldn’t hurt her, nor would he let her run away. “I said, it’s a one-side agreement that you won’t see me before you regain your memory. I have never agreed.”

“But…” Shi Qingxue was hesitant. After a minute, she asked softly, “Don’t you dislike who I am now?”

Her voice was low and depressed. Even though she tried to control herself, grievance couldn’t be concealed in her tone.

No matter how indifferent she pretended, when she knew that Mo Junyang kept a distance from her because she lost her memory of one period, she felt heartbroken.

If she was still the spoiled and arrogant lady from the Shi family, she wouldn’t care when others didn’t like her.

But in her heart, Mo Junyang was not one of the others.

She couldn’t ignore Mo Junyang’s attitude toward her. And because she felt guilty in front of him for some reason that she couldn’t explain, she thought she was inferior to him.

She couldn’t lose temper but had to swallow her grievance. She was so depressed.

But Mo Junyang was different in her eyes. The man was nice to her, cared about her and looked after her. She kept everything in mind. She couldn’t give up on him, so she would rather make herself suffer.

She considered for Mo Junyang and stayed away from him. She didn’t want to annoy him, but he got mad at her. Was it fair?

Shi Qingxue couldn’t help glaring at Mo Junyang in secret, but he met her eyes.

Mo Junyang gazed at her and stated straightforwardly, “I didn’t say that I don’t like you. Don’t you know who I love?”

Shi Qingxue opened her eyes wide, and her face started to burn automatically.

She had been bold with sufficient reasons, but now she became shy under Mo Junyang’s gaze.

Who did Mo Junyang love?

Perhaps all people in the capital knew the answer to this question.

“I…I…” Shi Qingxue began to stutter again.

She gritted her teeth and her words were squeezed out of between them. “I don’t care who you love!”

Afterward, Qingxue goggled at Mo Junyang fiercely once more with anger in her eyes and shouted, “I won’t talk to you!”

After declaring, she ran away in a rush.

Mo Junyang didn’t chase her but stared deeply at the direction where Shi Qingxue left. After a long time, he sighed slightly.

The news that a colorful phenix was captured in the east and sent to the capital soon spread all over the Mo Country.

It was said that the colorful phenix showed up to shock the world as God blessed the Mo Country and Holy Monarch Zhou was declining… The people in the Mo Country talked about it and it became more mysterious. There were all rumors that the emperor of the Mo Country would replace Holy Monarch Zhou.

Now Holy Monarch Zhou was weak. Even if there was a rumor in the Mo Country that Holy Monarch Zhou was dead, nobody would do anything as long as it was not put into practice.

Mo Xiangbin wouldn’t care about such “rumors” but hoped that the rumors would spread farther away.

“Father, tomorrow is your birthday. Shall we confirm the colorful phenix’s condition in advance, in case that it can’t be shown at your birthday party? Then it would probably embarrass you,” Mo Junjiu suddenly suggested when all people enjoyed the scene and chatted in the imperial garden.

Mo Junyu knew that Mo Junjiu would find fault with him, so he answered in haste, “This morning, the person who fed the colorful phenix reported to me that it was fine. It won’t disappoint you tomorrow, Father.”

“You are right, but we must make sure that there is nothing wrong at Father’s birthday party. We should check it carefully, so then we can be relieved.”

Mo Junjiu spoke with righteousness and put Mo Xiangbin above everybody. If Mo Junyu refused, it would appear that he didn’t attach importance to his father’s birthday party.

Mo Junyu sneered in secret and thought, “Do you want to find fault with me when I look after the colorful phenix? Since you want to see it so badly, I will let you see it today.”

Then he responded with a faint smile, “Since Junjiu is so anxious to see the colorful phenix, of course I won’t say no. Father, Grandma, please come to the Qianzheng Palace.”

In order to offer the colorful phenix a more comfortable environment, Mo Junyu specially chose a quiet hall in the south of the East Palace as the residence of the phenix and the feeder. At the same time, he sent many soldiers and had it heavily guarded to ensure the phenix’s safety.

Mo Junyu was confident that outsiders would never act recklessly in his East Palace. Even if he guessed that Mo Junjiu might play some tricks, he wasn’t afraid.

He led all people to the residence of the phenix and told the feeder to open the room door, introducing with a smile, “See. The colorful phenix is sleeping in the cage.”

All people stared at the room and kept silent in astonishment.
