On the surface, the black-robed high priest seemed to have made up his mind, but in reality, he was still very uneasy.
Lin Yu's meaning was clear: he wanted to use the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece in his hand to sense the sealing power within Feng Nianzhi's body.
The black-robed high priest hesitated because he was worried that the seal within Feng Nianzhi's body would react.
After all, that seal could resist even external spiritual energy, let alone the sensation of another fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
On the surface, the black-robed high priest had already agreed to Lin Yu's request, but he still wanted to ask one last question: just how confident was the other party in protecting the Phoenix Lord's safety?
"I'm not entirely confident, but don't worry, if any problems arise, I'll immediately stop and do everything in my power to protect Feng Nianzhi's safety," Lin Yu said.
Regarding the seal, since it has existed in Feng Nianzhi's body for hundreds of years, there shouldn't be any problems for the time being.
The most crucial issue, in fact, is protecting Feng Nianzhi's safety.
"The seal may not be completely broken, but I will do my best in that direction," Lin Yu said.
After listening to what Lin Yu said, the high priest in black robes looked at him seriously, his eyes filled with inquiry.
"You're an outsider, with no connection whatsoever with the Phoenix Lord, or even with my entire ancient Phoenix clan. Why are you so interested in the Phoenix Lord's affairs now?"
"And your interest in the seal within the Phoenix Lord's body... could it be that you have something to hide?"
Lin Yu: "..."
After all that, the black-robed high priest still didn't fully trust him.
However, upon closer reflection, given that the matter concerns the life and death of the ancient Phoenix clan, it's no wonder that the black-robed high priest is so cautious.
"You may not have known during the cataclysmic event, but I made a promise the day I obtained a drop of phoenix blood."
"I promise your Lord Phoenix, I will do one thing: anything within my power, I will do without hesitation."
"Now, I think this promise is most suitable for Feng Nianzhi."
Feng Nianzhi has a seal on her body and has been tormented by it for many years. If Lin Yu can break this seal, it would be a way of fulfilling his promise to her.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed high priest fell silent once again, but the way he looked at Lin Yu changed slightly.
From initially being skeptical and dismissive of Lin Yu, the Black-Robed High Priest now trusts Lin Yu more and more.
Especially after experiencing the cataclysmic disaster, the black-robed high priest felt Lin Yu's unfathomable depth.
With such power, even if someone really wanted to do something to their ancient phoenix clan, they probably wouldn't have any intention of resisting now.
On that day, the black-robed high priest merely thought Lin Yu was an unreasonable bandit.
However, after experiencing so much, he realized that Lin Yu possessed an extremely "chivalrous" spirit, which the black-robed high priest greatly admired.
" Lin Yu, I believe you. I won't say anything more about this."
"However, this matter is of great importance, and ultimately, it will require the Phoenix Lord's personal decision."
The high priest in black robes spoke solemnly.
The Phoenix Lord is indeed the Phoenix Lord; her strength is extraordinary. Even though Feng Nianzhi is still a child, I cannot make decisions for her without her knowledge.
The high priest in black robes can only offer advice; the one who actually draws the conclusion is Feng Nianzhi.
Moreover, that's Feng Nianzhi's body. No matter how well the black-robed high priest and Lin Yu negotiate, if Feng Nianzhi doesn't agree, the two of them are still helpless.
"Of course, I came here just to let you know beforehand." Lin Yu smiled.
In fact, he was absolutely confident about Feng Nianzhi's situation.
It wasn't because Feng Nianzhi had special trust in him, but rather because Lin Yu had already seen through Feng Nianzhi's inner arrogance over the past few days.
Someone like her would never willingly be bound by a seal.
If there is a way to break the seal, even if there is only a one percent chance of success, Feng Nianzhi will definitely choose to try!
Moreover, Feng Nianzhi is no ordinary demon beast; she is a phoenix. Even if something really happens, she can choose to be reborn from the ashes.
It's just that only the body is reborn, not the soul.
The black-robed high priest and Lin Yu headed towards where Feng Nianzhi was.
As if she already knew the two were coming, Feng Nianzhi showed no surprise at seeing the black-robed high priest and Lin Yu, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor completely different from that of a child.
"You've arrived," Feng Nianzhi said calmly, as if she had been waiting for Lin Yu all along.
"Hmm." Lin Yu smiled and nodded, briefly explaining his plan to Feng Nianzhi.
"This matter is of great importance, and we urge Your Majesty to make the decision personally." After Lin Yu finished explaining the situation, the black-robed high priest took a step back and respectfully bowed to Feng Nianzhi.
The meaning was very clear: he would absolutely not stop Feng Nianzhi from making her decision.
Seeing the black-robed high priest's appearance, Feng Nianzhi smiled, a rare occurrence for her.
She currently appears as a child, which should be the most carefree period of her life, but her mental strength is exceptionally outstanding, which causes Feng Nianzhi to rarely smile.
That smile was so captivating that it seemed to eclipse the world, and even Lin Yu couldn't help but be slightly moved.
Feng Nianzhi is just a little girl now; who knows what she'll become when she grows up.
"Of course I won't object, Brother Lin Yu, please come along," Feng Nianzhi said with a smile.
This matter was clearly of great importance, but Feng Nianzhi spoke of it so casually, as if her own life, or even the life and death of the entire ancient phoenix clan, was not so important.
At this moment, Feng Nianzhi displayed the pride of the ancient phoenix clan to the fullest extent.
She wasn't confident in Lin Yu, but in herself!
She believed that she, Feng Nianzhi, would definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties.
"Then let's start now, since there's no time like the present," Lin Yu said. He could wait, but the seal on Feng Nianzhi's body couldn't.
Waiting even one more day would be dangerous for Feng Nianzhi, so Lin Yu couldn't afford to be careless.
Feng Nianzhi nodded nonchalantly. "Perfect."
Just when everything was ready, a clear voice rang out at the door.
"Wait, I absolutely cannot agree to this now!"
Lin Yu turned around and saw the handsome young man.
