Feng Changge felt extremely guilty, thinking that he had been busy with Lin Yu and the others about the Water Drop people and had neglected Feng Nianzhi.
What angered him even more was that now that things had finally come to a close with the Water Droplets and he had had enough time, the Phoenix Lord still suffered harm.
Feng Changge couldn't understand. Several members of their ancient Phoenix clan had been guarding the Phoenix Lord's residence closely the entire time; how had the attacker managed to evade their notice?
After all, in order to ensure the safety of Lord Phoenix, they had always stationed enough people around her every day.
Moreover, these people are all experts from the ancient Phoenix Clan!
"Even so, Lord Phoenix still suffered such a serious injury!" Feng Changge thought to himself.
"It's too late to say anything now that things have come to this. Don't blame yourself too much. The most important thing right now is to save Feng Nianzhi," Lin Yu said, seeing Feng Changge's overwhelming self-blame.
In reality, Lin Yu's heart was also filled with complex emotions. Faced with such a situation, he, as the main force in treating Feng Nianzhi, had not yet cried, but Feng Changge looked like he was about to cry.
At that time, He Buxian also arrived at Feng Nianzhi's residence.
Hearing that Feng Nianzhi was in trouble, He Buxian naturally couldn't stand idly by.
While Feng Changge was in a state of utter panic, He Buxian had already grasped the situation quite well. He saw that Lin Yu was also overwhelmed with worry about the matter, but Feng Changge was deeply mired in self-blame and unable to offer any help.
Seeing this, He Buxian felt angry.
"Stop making a scene, stop making a scene, all you do all day is cause trouble. What kind of man acts like this?"
"Look at you! Did you cry? If crying worked, your Phoenix Lord would have broken the seal long ago. Why would she still be wasting her time here with Daoist Shouyang!"
He Buxian spoke up, saying that he didn't have much of a connection with the ancient Phoenix Clan; he was only worried because he saw Lin Yu was concerned about Feng Nianzhi.
Even now, in He Buxian's mind, Feng Nianzhi is just a very capable woman. He Buxian doesn't feel much when he sees her being harmed.
Ultimately, He Buxian and Feng Nianzhi didn't really have any connection.
However, He Buxian's feelings towards Fengchang Pavilion were quite different.
He Buxian knew better than anyone how bad this kid's temper was. These past few days, he'd been arguing with him ten or more times a day.
This same brat was now completely disoriented and crying because of Feng Nianzhi's injury, which annoyed He Buxian.
"You're supposed to be a skilled fighter among the ancient Phoenix clan. If you lose your composure at a time like this, what are the others supposed to do?!"
He Buxian looked sternly at Feng Changge, his expression conveying a sense of pity for his lack of ambition and anger at his misfortune.
The Fallen Black Phoenix silently followed, saying nothing at this moment.
Given the relationship between the Fallen Black Phoenix and the Ancient Phoenix Clan, they should have been irreconcilable enemies. However, due to the major event of the Heaven-Mending Fragment blocking their path and Lin Yu's mediation, the Ancient Phoenix Clan did not take action against him.
At this moment, Feng Nianzhi was injured, and the members of the ancient phoenix clan were even more furious when they saw the fallen black phoenix.
What are you doing here?
"You were the one who murdered the Phoenix Lord yesterday?!"
They assumed the Phoenix Clan members weren't curiously watching the Fallen Black Phoenix, but as soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately focused on the Fallen Black Phoenix.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Fallen Black Phoenix is a sensitive figure in the eyes of the ancient Phoenix clan, so it's understandable that they might be suspicious of him.
However, upon hearing this, the Fallen Black Phoenix merely sneered and offered no further explanation.
Looking at his arrogant smile, it was as if he practically had "I did it" written all over his face.
"Hey, you guys don't actually think this guy did it, do you?!"
Seeing that the Phoenix Clan members were rubbing their hands together, seemingly about to make a move, He Buxian hurriedly jumped out to stop both sides.
"Putting everything else aside, the Palace Master mentioned before that someone silently attacked your Phoenix Lord at night. Although I don't think much of this guy either, I know his character fairly well; at least he's upright and honorable."
"It's common knowledge that the Fallen Black Phoenix has a grudge against your ancient phoenix clan, but that's precisely why he chooses to act openly and honestly, rather than resorting to despicable means."
"In that case, the Fallen Black Phoenix stayed with me all night and absolutely had no chance to attack your Phoenix Lord!"
He Buxian explained with a serious expression that he was worried that these Phoenix Clan members might act rashly and fight the Fallen Black Phoenix.
Perhaps those Phoenix Clan members knew in their hearts that it was definitely not the Fallen Black Phoenix who was behind it, but everyone was feeling depressed and needed an outlet for their emotions.
He Buxian was worried that if he hadn't said those words, given the Fallen Black Phoenix's personality, it would have directly started a fight with the members of the Ancient Phoenix Clan.
"Tsk." Sure enough, seeing that the ancient phoenix clan was about to back down, the fallen black phoenix standing behind He Buxian clicked its tongue in amazement, looking very regretful.
In fact, given the relationship between the Fallen Black Phoenix and the ancient Phoenix clan, it's already quite polite of the Fallen Black Phoenix not to burst into laughter upon seeing them in their current state.
"So, you should all think about what kind of person can appear and disappear without a trace in front of you!" He Buxian concluded.
"I can do it."
Before the Fallen Black Phoenix could even utter those words, He Buxian grabbed him and dragged him back.
"You idiot, really! Isn't the situation chaotic enough already? Do you have to go and add fuel to the fire to feel better?!" He Buxian glared at the Fallen Black Phoenix.
The fallen black phoenix shrugged indifferently.
"He Buxian is right. Don't let your guard down just because there are many of you here," Lin Yu said as he stepped forward.
"Don't let our efforts to understand the Water Droplets' intelligence fool you. There are many mysteries hidden within this Netherworld Wonderland."
"This bitter fruit is a direct result of your carelessness."
After Lin Yu spoke, all the members of the ancient Phoenix Clan stopped saying anything, although some were still unconvinced, but ultimately did not voice their opinions.
Ultimately, they were still waiting for Lin Yu to save Feng Nianzhi.
