Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Fenghuang promptly interrupted them, not forgetting to remind Qilin:
"Stop arguing, although Penglai Immortal Island does not have such a rule. But Qilin, you should know that the last time the glow faded was before the fall of the gods."
But Qilin disagreed: "It's unfounded worries. In my opinion, this person is more suspicious."
As he spoke, the image in the mirror switched to the man in black robe that Tan Jiajia had bumped into before.
At this time, he was sneaking around the entrance of the bird tribe, not knowing what he was planning.
At this time, he seemed to be sensing something, or in other words, he was trying to confirm Qilin's thoughts.
The man raised his head and glanced toward the sky, his eyes bright, directly cutting off the mirror's monitoring of him.
"Look, I was right."
Seeing this, Qilin's tone was quite proud.
Qiu Gui, the oldest among the four spirits, who had been silent until now, spoke up. He did not agree with Qilin's statement:
"Those are the people of Zhan Ling. They have always been aloof. It is understandable that they don't like our surveillance in the dark. But the mortals brought by Huo Qilin are really weird. I just did a divination. I don't know why, but I can't Make a fortune for her."
Qiu Gui has always been a man of few words, but the weight of his words is the most important among the Four Spirits, not to mention that now he has revealed such a doubtful point.
Therefore, after hearing this, Qilin put away his fun and responded in a deep voice:
"Then let's wait until Huo Qilin comes over tomorrow, and then we can explore this person's true identity."
…………
"Ah Qiu..."
Tan Jiajia on the side sneezed loudly. She sniffed and whispered, "Do you have a cold?"
As early as before, Tan Jiajia and she had moved into the annex of Penglai Immortal Island, which was used to entertain the Beast Kingdom, along with the monsters of the beast tribe.
After wandering at sea for several days and nights, she finally felt grounded. Tan Jiajia, who was about to catch up on some sleep, unexpectedly heard Huo Qilin talking to the people under his command.
He planned to invite people from the other three tribes to discuss the upcoming Demon World Conference.
After hearing the news, Tan Jiajia immediately cheered up, abandoned her sleepiness, and followed Huo Qilin shamelessly.
This is not because she loves to join in the fun and is hot-headed, but after a minute of careful consideration.
After all, she has not forgotten her purpose of going to Penglai Immortal Island. Fire Qilin once said before that Phoenix, the leader of the bird tribe, has a way to bring back the dead.
Now he had to discuss important matters with the three tribes, and the leader of the bird tribe should also be here, so naturally she couldn't miss this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, when Tan Jiajia and Huo Qilin arrived at the location, the only people who came were a thirteen or fourteen-year-old cardamom girl and an old acquaintance, Gui Lao. Huo Qilin introduced that the girl was the dragon girl of the Scale tribe.
And the man who looks exactly like Gui Lao is the leader of the Jie tribe, King Gui.
The phoenix of the bird tribe was nowhere to be seen, and not even a hair floated here. I heard from the dragon girl that it was delayed by something and was still stranded outside the island.
Tan Jiajia was so shocked when she heard the news that she even forgot to beg for mercy when she was chased and beaten with a cane for mistakenly calling the King Turtle the Old Turtle.
Now Tan Jiajia was sitting by the window quite sadly, looking at the bustling scene outside the window.
Fire Qilin had already negotiated with Dragon Girl and Turtle King about the specific matters of the conference the day after tomorrow, and several people left one after another.
When Huo Qilin returned to his residence, he suddenly got excited and remembered that he should have brought someone there.
Originally, when he knew Tan Jiajia was coming, he refused.
After all, he knew what the other person was thinking, and he also knew that what he said before was laced with water, which let her know that something might happen.
However, as a benevolent spiritual beast, Fire Qilin has always been soft-hearted, so naturally it cannot withstand Tan Jiajia's behavior.
He had no choice but to respond with an uneasy heart, and then the fact that the Phoenix brothers and sisters did not attend the appointment made him feel relieved again.
Tan Jiajia didn't see the person she was supposed to see, so she quietly slipped to a corner and waited without disturbing the others. This made Huo Qilin feel a little better for her.
Unexpectedly, it was because she was so quiet that even he forgot that there was a fourth person inside.
Huo Qilin reprimanded himself slightly in his heart for leaving Tan Jiajia behind, and turned back to look for the person.
As soon as he returned to the previous private room, he found Tan Jiajia sitting alone by the window, holding her chin and looking outside.
The wind blowing in from the window picked up her long hair and robe, making her feel a bit desolate.
Huo Qilin couldn't help but feel guilty.
On the other side, Tan Jiajia didn't notice that anyone was missing from the house at all, because Huo Qilin and the others didn't open the door when they left, and simply disappeared out of thin air.
At this time, she secretly muttered in her heart: Why haven't we discussed it yet? It's freezing me to death.
Perhaps because there is no sun, the temperature on Penglai Island is extremely low, only about a few degrees.
Tan Jiajia was originally wearing a thin robe, which had very little protection against the cold.
She didn't feel it when she first entered the island, but now the longer she stays there, the more obvious the bone-chilling chill is.
In addition, she was sitting at the wind outlet, and the cold wind blew by, making her body shiver.
This scene fell into the eyes of Huo Qilin, who felt guilty, but it was a different scene.
Since he was born a demon and rarely comes into contact with mortals, he naturally has no sense of heat or cold.
When he saw the other person's shoulders shrugging, he didn't think about it in that direction. He just thought that she was sad because she thought of her current situation. He couldn't help but feel a little pity and drifted over.
Huo Qilin sat cross-legged on the table in front of Tan Jiajia and comforted:
"You don't have to be too sad. Phoenix and the others didn't come today because they had something to do. After the conference is over, I will take you to see them."
"Okay...ok."
Because of the cold, Tan Jiajia's speech was not very fluent, and she was still staring out the window with a dejected look on her face as she spoke.
This further confirmed Huo Qilin's inner speculation, and he added: "If it doesn't work, I will take you to see my teacher again and ask him to find a way."
"..." Tan Jiajia did not look back.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to help you resurrect your friend."
"..."
The neglected Huo Qilin thought of his previous behavior of abandoning her, and gritted his teeth and said: "I, Huo Qilin, swear here on my honor..."
After the Fire Qilin God finished chanting a long list of ancient mantras, and after searching all the shops outside the window, Tan Jiajia turned her head.
Her face was covered with sadness, and there was transparent liquid on her nose. Her tone was melancholy with a thick nasal sound and trembling:
"Huo Qilin, do you sell clothes and cold medicine here? I seem to... ah Qiu... have a cold..."
