297: Ice Bird SectIn the soul beast town outside the Sunset Forest.

Zhu Zhuqing has a temporary safe house here.

There was not much decoration in the cabin, only a mattress and a few kettles.

This hut was built by Zhu Zhuqing herself. She usually lives here and travels back and forth to the Sunset Forest.

Entering the room, Qi Tian sighed: "Do you regard this place as your home?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not answer.

Originally, she had always lived in the dormitory of the academy. After leaving Shrek Academy, she did not return to the Star Luo Empire and indeed had no place to live.

The cost of hotel accommodation in the city is not small. It's okay to stay for one or two nights, but if you want to stay like this for a long time, Zhu Zhuqing doesn't have that much money.

After simply packing up the things in the cabin, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "When are we going to set off for the Far North?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but say in Qi Tian's mind, "Do you really want to take her to the Far North? It's not safe there. With her Soul Sect strength, she can't even protect herself. If you take her along, she will just be a burden."

Of course Qi Tian took this into consideration.

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to gain experience, and the Far North was the best place for her. But if they went deep into the Far North, they definitely couldn't take her with them, and at most they could only let her gain experience on the periphery.

After all, he was the one who brought the person there, so he certainly couldn't abandon him halfway.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Tian decided to go to the Northern Province first to find his old senior schoolmate Huo Mu and leave Zhu Zhuqing next to him.

Although they had not been in contact for a long time, they had developed some friendship.

The north of the Northern Province is the Far North, so it is convenient to go and see Huo Mu.

After he expressed his idea, Zhu Zhuqing did not refuse.

Having a governor to look after her allows her to practice with fewer worries.

After renting a carriage in the town, the two set out on their journey to the Far North.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Zhuqing did not live in the carriage with Qi Tian. She took the initiative to take on the responsibility of driving the carriage.

…

At the Governor's Office of the Northern Province.

Huo Mu stood in front of the study, looking at everything in the city.

Since he inherited the position of Governor, there has been no peace in the Northern Province. First, he avenged his father, which caused a turmoil in the entire Northern Province. Almost all of the spies planted by the great nobles of Tiandou City in the Northern Province were killed by him.

Before the situation had calmed down for a few days, the Ice Bird Sect began to suppress the power of the Governor's Office.

Yesterday, a deacon from the Bingniao Sect who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth openly caused trouble in front of the Governor's Mansion and has now been detained in prison.

Early this morning, a strong man from the Ice Bird Sect came to visit him and strongly demanded that he release the person.

As the earl of the empire and the governor of the northern province, Huo Mu would not be afraid of the Ice Bird Sect. But the opponent's methods were extremely insidious, and they often stabbed them in the back.

In addition, in the Northern Province, the Spirit Hall is also ready to make a move. But after the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Ice Bird Sect and the Spirit Hall will not go to the point of colluding with each other. But the pressure from these two sides is real.

"Sir, there is a result." The old man in the linen robe came behind him and bowed.

"Mr. Huang, what did that idiot from the Ice Bird Sect say? Was it the Ice Bird Sect that instructed him to do this?" Huo Mu turned around and asked.

This Mr. Huang was the old man who had returned to Tiandou Royal Academy with Huo Mu to handle the graduation procedures.

Huang Lao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, you must be mentally prepared for what I am going to say next."

Huo Mu couldn't think of anything that was worth preparing for, so he urged, "Mr. Huang, it's not your nature to be so hesitant. What's the matter?"

"It's related to the old earl. I used some tricks to force that idiot to confess many things. Among them, the death of the old earl may be related to the Ice Bird Sect."

When Huo Mu heard about his father, his face became extremely ugly.

At first, he thought his father was framed and killed by some nobles of the empire. Unexpectedly, the Ice Bird Sect was involved.

"Mr. Huang, explain the situation clearly. What did the Ice Bird Sect do?" Huo Mu asked in a deep voice. The veins on his forehead bulged instantly. The anger in his heart also reached its peak at this moment.

Huang Lao sighed, "Sir, please calm down. That guy is just a deacon, and he knows a lot. According to him, the leader of the Ice Bird Sect has always been in contact with the nobles of Tiandou City. On the day when the old earl was leaving, the Ice Bird Sect sent an elder to lead ten deacons to attack the old earl's convoy."

"The Ice Bird Sect was not the main force in the attack, so even within the Ice Bird Sect, only a very few people knew about this. Aside from the deacon we captured yesterday, all the other deacons who participated in the attack died during the expedition to the Far North."

Huo Mu was not a rookie after all, so he quickly calmed down and said, "So, he came here on purpose to seek asylum?"

Mr. Huang shook his head. "I tricked him out of this matter. He may not have realized that he would be silenced."

"Who is that elder?"

"Anhua!"

Hearing this name, Huo Mu sneered and waved his hand, "Kill the deacon and send his head to Anhua."

Huang Lao did not respond in a hurry. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sir, I think I should remind you. The Ice Bird Sect has Title Douluo masters, and Lao Chen and I are only Soul Douluo. We have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation."

"Mr. Huang, do as I say. The Bingniao Sect won't refuse to go with us just because of the life of a deacon."

"Yes, sir."

…

After more than a month's drive, Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing are about to enter the Ice and Snow City in the Northern Province.

This city is only a day's drive from the Frozen Forest, and the Governor's Office of the Northern Province is also located in this city.

The further north you go, the lower the temperature.

Qi Tian's body contains both ice and fire, so he is not very sensitive to temperature changes. But Zhu Zhuqing is not like that. At this moment, she has changed into a thick cotton-padded jacket to barely resist the cold here.

In fact, letting soul power possess the body can also resist the influence of the environment. For high-level soul masters, the soul power consumed by this method can be ignored. But for Zhu Zhuqing, a soul master, the consumption of soul power is very large. When not in combat, she must conserve soul power as much as possible.

"Can't stand the cold?" Qi Tian lifted the curtain of the car and saw Zhu Zhuqing shivering. He couldn't help but joked.

Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and said with a firm look, "I'm fine. We'll reach Ice and Snow City in another stick of incense."

Qi Tian sat beside her and took the reins. "You are not an ice attribute spirit master. Come into the carriage and warm up. I will take care of the rest of the way."

Zhu Zhuqing did not refuse.

She had been driving the car all the way, while Qi Tian lay comfortably in the car. Now, it was time for her to rest for a while. (End of this chapter)
