Shen Xiu seemed to have expected that they would not be able to investigate anything, and walked over slowly. When passing by Shen Zhifeng's side, he frowned and said with a dissatisfied face: "Zhifeng, why are you eating again?"

Shen Zhifeng didn't know how he saw it, so he could only hide it with an embarrassed laugh.

Shen Xiu's face was gloomy: "It's because you can't control your mouth that you can't cultivate the realm of Bigu for a long time!"

"Master, please forgive me, I was so hungry that I couldn't properly investigate, so I went to eat. Shen Zhifeng grinned, hoping to use this method to escape blame.

Second Senior Brother Shen Ling snorted coldly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, don't do it, make excuses for the first place." ”

She has always been at odds with the second senior brother, and she rolled her eyes unconvinced in the face of the ridicule at this time.

Shen Xiu wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly focused on Shen Zhifeng's palm. A red thing trembled slightly inside, and it also exuded a faint spiritual power. He suddenly grimaced and said, "What is it in your hand?"

All eyes were on him.

Shen Zhifeng had no choice but to hold the Vermilion Bird in front of Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu stared at Suzaku for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said, "What is this, where did you find it?"

"Back to Master's words, this is an accidental pick up when the apprentice got lost in the woods. Shen Zhifeng said truthfully, "I'm afraid that it was a spirit beast that failed to cross the catastrophe and fell in the woods when it was injured." ”

Shen Xiu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the Vermilion Bird.

Shen Youyan also hurriedly answered: "The apprentice saw that the junior sister said that this was a spirit beast, and she wanted to bring it back and raise it, so I felt that it was a little inappropriate. Therefore, I want the master to take a look, is this a spirit beast or a demon?"

Shen Xiu looked at Suzaku cautiously, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the strength of the Vermilion Bird almost dissipated, and he lay weakly in Shen Zhifeng's palm with his eyes closed. It senses a large number of realizations coming together and slowly opens its eyes. accidentally caught a glimpse of the Jade Xuan Emperor in the Taoist temple, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Shen Zhifeng didn't know the changes in the palm of his hand at all, he just held it nervously, and his hand trembled slightly.

Shen Xiu observed for a while, then stretched out his hand to probe Suzaku's body. The spiritual power trembled at the tips of his fingers, and he slowly withdrew his hand, with a gentle smile on his face: "This is not a spirit beast, but a little monster with a little cultivation." ”

"Little youkai?"

Shen Zhifeng couldn't believe that the Vermilion Bird that had just burst out with amazing power was not a spirit beast.

Shen Youyan immediately clenched his fists and said seriously: "Since it is not a spirit animal, then the junior sister cannot be raised in the Taoist temple." Wherever you find it, release it from there!"

Suzaku closed his eyes again, looking even tired.

Shen Zhifeng pursed his lips and thought for a while, then raised his head, bowed to Shen Xiu and said, "Master, the apprentice can't leave the injured Suzaku alone. Master also taught me to save the world. Therefore, before the Suzaku is healed, I also ask the master to complete the apprenticeship and raise it in the Taoist temple!"

"I'm against it!" Shen Lingli interrupted her on the spot, "Don't just keep some unknown things in the Taoist temple, it won't be good if you cause trouble!"

Shen Zhifeng's eyes burned and resisted: "Where can a little finch cause trouble, besides, I was rescued by it, and I must not watch it fend for itself in the woods while it is injured!"

The evil spirits in the woods covet the Suzaku and put the injured one in it, and it is a sheep into the mouth of the tiger.

Shen Youyan sighed softly and persuaded: "Knowing the wind, the little monster would have harmed the world. The Taoist temple is a sacred place, and it is really unreasonable to keep things that can harm people at any time from the outside. ”

"It's not something harmful!" Shen Zhifeng said and hugged Suzaku tightly, "I've already named it, it's called Xiaoyu!"

Shen Heyan's forehead twitched twice: "What is the name of a bird, Xiaoyu? No, don't just name wild animals!"

"It's my pet after the name, and I'm sure I'm going to keep it!" Shen Zhifeng did not show weakness.

Suzaku opened his eyes again, looking at Shen Zhifeng's struggle to support himself, and his heart was mixed.

Thinking that it is a dignified spirit animal, how can it be kept as a pet by mortals?

Others also disagree with this little monster to be raised in the Taoist temple, and you persuade Shen Zhifeng with a word. The reasons they gave were varied, from the Heavenly Court Immortal System to the mortal world, and it was said that raising a little demon was so heinous.

Shen Zhifeng couldn't talk about them alone, and his eyes were red and red.

After talking for a while, when they saw that she did not speak, they thought that she had given up her idea, so they stopped one by one and waited for her reply.

Shen Zhifeng's eyes rolled, he casually stuffed the Vermilion Bird into his arms, bowed deeply to everyone, and said, "I'm tired, go back and rest first." After saying that, he ran to the backyard like a desperate run.

Everyone was stunned in place, unable to react for a while.

Shen Youyan shouted at Shen Zhifeng's back several times, and when he saw that she didn't reply, he slammed the pillar beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "Is there really no one who can control the junior sister? Such a strange bird, even if it is not a demon, may do something harmful for the sake of cultivation!"

Shen Xiu shook his head, raised his eyelids to look at the statue of Emperor Yuxuan, and sighed deeply.

Shen Zhifeng ignored the call of the senior brother behind him, ran straight back to the room and closed the door heavily. She placed Suzaku on the table and let out a long sigh of relief. She was going to go into the house to wash up and rest, and she was so tired from a busy day that she might fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

She took off her outer garment, revealing her inner midcoat. At this time, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly pulled over her coat and put it on, looked at Suzaku vigilantly, and said, "Are you a male bird or a female bird?"

“......”

Suzaku rolled her eyes and didn't answer.

Shen Zhifeng was not at ease, so he covered a piece of clothing that he didn't wear, and completely covered its eyes before officially changing his clothes. By the time he finished washing and lifted his clothes again, Suzaku was already asleep in his clothes.

Its body is a little bigger, and the spiritual power on its body has recovered a little. Its eyes were closed, its belly rose and fell with its breathing, and its fiery red body glowed faintly in the moonlight.

Shen Zhifeng couldn't help but touch its body, the soft and glutinous feel was very good. She couldn't help but cover Suzaku's head with her hand, and then a strange force passed down her fingers. She was stunned for a moment, and a sharp pain in her chest suddenly came.

She crouched down and lifted her spiritual power to regulate her internal breath.

At that moment, a dark shadow flashed outside the window. Accompanied by a strong evil qi, the pain in Shen Zhifeng's chest became more obvious.

She didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stood up and closed the window. She didn't know why something had suddenly barged in, but she knew she couldn't handle it.

Suddenly, a biting cold wind came from her back.

Shen Zhifeng turned his head nervously, and saw a man in a black robe standing by the door of the room.

The man's face was as soft as a woman's, and the red lips on his pale face were particularly eye-catching. His hair was tied together by a red crown of hair, with a breathtaking feeling.

At that time, Shen Zhifeng didn't know that this was the beginning of everything.
