Misunderstandings Were Themselves a Dangerous Signal

At Starfall Pavilion, after Phoenix pulled Xiao Yan into an independent space, everyone else busied themselves with the aftermath.

Xiao Yi Xian and the others appeared to be helping earnestly, but from how often they glanced toward where Xiao Yan had vanished, it was clear their hearts had been hanging in suspense. They still could not stop worrying about Xiao Yan's safety.

That was Phoenix—the Head of the Three Phoenixes of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, a Two-star Dou Sheng at the peak of the late stage. Now she was alone with Xiao Yan in the same space. Coupled with what had happened between Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er, it was hard not to feel deeply worried.

To put it bluntly, forget coming out unscathed—even if Xiao Yan were beaten half to death by Phoenix, it would not be surprising. In fact, if Phoenix truly only beat Xiao Yan half to death, then Xiao Yan could be considered incredibly lucky. At least he would still be alive.

And from another perspective, if Xiao Yan barely survived after being beaten half to death, it would prove that Phoenix's anger had subsided. After that, there would be no need to worry too much about Phoenix causing trouble for Xiao Yan again over this matter.

Compared to Xiao Yi Xian, Xun'er, and the others, Yao Chen remained focused on treating the injured, showing not the slightest concern.
