There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

No wonder the aura emanating from the other party was so vast and extraordinary.

Moreover, it is extremely similar to the divine bird, the Azure Phoenix, from earlier...

While Li Kai and Huo Yugong, the guards, were still paying attention to the aura emanating from Jiang Mo and were secretly alarmed, Huo Yugong and Hu Yuer, as family members, were focused on their loved ones from beginning to end.

"Mei'er, how did you end up like this?"

The overly avant-garde style of clothing, in Hu Yu'er's eyes, could only be described as barely covering the body. Seeing her younger sister appear before everyone like this shocked and angered her even more, and she quickly pulled her into her arms to shield her from the view of others.

Chunlan, who was standing nearby, quickly took off her outer clothes and draped them over Hu Meier to cover the large expanse of her exposed skin.

"Okay, okay, it's good that he's back, it's good that he's back..."

With a smile on his face, Huo Yu Gong acted as a peacemaker. He also felt that Hu Meier had gone too far this time and that she would have to be disciplined properly when she returned.

But when she saw how disheveled and pitiful the other person looked, she immediately softened.

Let them be a little willful, at least they're still alive.

"Oh, right, the birthday gift for Father! Mo... cough, Jiang Mo, hurry up and bring out the birthday gift we prepared."

Upon hearing Huo Yugong's voice, Hu Meier immediately remembered her original purpose.

Jiang Mo casually placed the miscellaneous items in his arms on the ground and then took out the Azure Phoenix Feather that he had carefully kept.

The dazzling, dreamlike blue feathers made everyone hold their breath.

If it were before, they might not have been quite sure what it was, but the Azure Phoenix had just left in front of everyone. If they still couldn't recognize it, then it wasn't just that they were ignorant, but that they were simply blind.

"This...how can this be allowed..."

Huo Yu Gong had seen all sorts of rare treasures, but looking at the feathers that seemed to have just been plucked from the Azure Phoenix, he couldn't help but feel a little terrified.

Even when Hu Meier directly shoved it into his hand, he was still a little hesitant to accept it.

It felt like holding a hot potato.

"This is also a sign of the Second Miss's filial piety, Lord Huoyu, please do not let her down. Please rest assured, this matter has also been approved by the Azure Phoenix God."

Seeing that Huo Yugong seemed to be making excuses, Jiang Mo couldn't help but speak up for him.

If Lord Huoyu doesn't accept this birthday gift, which he went through so much trouble to finally receive, wouldn't all his suffering have been for nothing?

Jiang Mo never expected that he was just casually mentioning Qingluan's name.

But everyone who heard this couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Looking at Jiang Mo again, although his clothes were tattered, his temperament was extraordinary, especially his elegant and otherworldly demeanor, which was just like Qingluan from before.

Then, considering that the two of them had just arrived riding on a blue phoenix.

This inevitably leads people to make connections.

"Since the divine messenger has said so, then I will not refuse any longer. I will prepare a grand ceremony in the future to thank the Azure Phoenix God."

Huo Yu Gong bowed deeply to Jiang Mo, his tone extremely respectful and appreciative.

Chapter 94 Transformed into a Distinguished Guest

"So good!"

Upon hearing Huo Yugong say that he would hold a sacrificial ceremony for Qingluan, Jiang Mo subconsciously nodded in agreement, inwardly approving of it.

As the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated.

Even though he had worked hard to obtain the Azure Phoenix feathers and, strictly speaking, did not owe the Azure Phoenix any favors, it was not a bad thing to have Lord Huoyu hold a sacrificial ceremony as a return gift and contribute some faith power to the other party.

Perhaps, it might even gain the attention and protection of the Azure Phoenix.

Most importantly, Jiang Mo didn't have to spend any money or effort, so he naturally agreed without any need to object.

After responding, Jiang Mo felt that something seemed a little off.

Why? When Lord Huoyu spoke to him just now, his tone was so respectful and attentive. Is there some mistake?

Am I not a servant of Fire Rain Manor now?

Moreover, he was a servant who had been missing for a long time with Hu Meier, keeping it a secret from everyone in the manor. Shouldn't he be very unpopular?

After all, it was a lone man and woman in the middle of nowhere...

In a situation where such beasts frequently appear, to say that nothing happened would truly make one less than a beast.

Jiang Mo had been pondering how to deal with the punishment.

He was even mentally prepared to take the blame for instigating Hu Meier to run away from home.

He only hoped that by working together with Hu Meier from the inside, they wouldn't be kicked out of the manor.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yu Gong not only showed no sign of blaming him, but was also quite cautious, as if he had angered him.

Could this attitude be...?

With a slight twitch of his brows, Jiang Mo raised his eyes and scanned the area in front of him, taking in the expressions and reactions on everyone's faces.

Those who come here are no ordinary people.

But when they faced Jiang Mo's sweeping gaze, although they weren't exactly trembling with fear, they still felt as if they were welcoming an important guest.

This means they're treating him as an envoy of the Azure Phoenix God!

It was definitely a misunderstanding, but to say that everyone had collectively become delusional and over-interpreted Jiang Mo's situation wouldn't be entirely accurate.

Jiang Mo certainly possesses divine favor and blessings.

Not only him, but Hu Meier and Xiaobai also had it, which was part of the previous transaction with Qingluan.

Furthermore, the group returned riding on a blue phoenix.

That was the divine bird, the Azure Phoenix. In everyone's opinion, no one in the world could force it to become a mount. To be able to ride on its back was an honor and privilege reserved for those who were highly regarded by the Azure Phoenix.

Jiang Mo himself was actually quite flattered by this.

He originally just wanted Qingluan to point him in the right direction, and then take Hu Meier and Xiaobai to find a Baiyue village before returning to Huoyu Manor.

Unexpectedly, Qingluan invited the two of them to climb onto its back without saying a word.

Presumably, they were quite satisfied with Jiang Mo's performance in personally killing the Black Feather Phoenix and were willing to help them save some trouble.

For Yu Qingluan, this was probably just a small matter.

The short distance is nothing more than a light flap of wings, just like a rich second-generation kid giving a ride to someone who has done him a big favor.

It was just a casual thing.

But in the eyes of Huo Yugong and others, it was a completely different story. Under such circumstances, who would dare to treat Jiang Mo as an ordinary servant?

It's like seeing a ragged person get out of a Maybach.

They would most likely not think the other person was a beggar, but would subconsciously try to find reasons to explain this illogical scene.

Performance art, experiencing life, truth or dare...

It's not easy to convince others, but can't you convince yourself?

Jiang Mo, quick-witted, immediately realized this was a perfect opportunity for him to borrow the tiger's power, and promptly coughed lightly and said:

"The Azure Phoenix God also greatly admires the Second Miss of your manor."

"They specifically asked me to stay and guide them."

It turned out to be the case.

Although Jiang Mo's words were somewhat reserved and he didn't directly point it out, Li Kai and the others couldn't help but speculate and came to a conclusion:

The so-called servants were just a facade.

Jiang Mo was actually an envoy favored by the Azure Phoenix God. He had been secretly infiltrating the Fire Rain Manor for the past two years in order to get close to Hu Meier.

Observation tests her potential.

And at the appropriate time, he would guide her to receive divine grace. Now that his work was complete, Jiang Mo no longer needed to hide his identity from everyone.

That's not surprising at all!

Looking back on this, many questions about Jiang Mo's identity and abilities seem to be answered.

Although there are still some illogical points, it is not surprising.

After all, believers are bound to be a bit superstitious, and their thought processes are completely different from ordinary people.

Those hardships that ordinary people would avoid can be interpreted as tests for the Lord by fervent believers.

It's perfectly normal to have secrets.

Divine favor, messenger—Hu Meier hadn't considered these things at all, but after receiving a signal from Jiang Mo, she immediately understood:

This is a great opportunity to clear my name!

Once it is confirmed that Jiang Mo is the Azure Phoenix Divine Envoy, the disparity in their status will no longer be an insurmountable chasm for the two of them.

So, she immediately joined in, saying:

“Father, I encountered danger many times on this trip and almost met with misfortune. I was only able to rely on Brother Jiang to protect me.”

Grasping Huo Yugong's arm and shaking it slightly, Hu Meier deliberately feigned lingering fear, acting pitiful and coquettish as she said:

"If it weren't for the help of the Azure Phoenix God, Brother Jiang would probably be seriously injured and unable to recover..."

"Father, you can't mistreat him."

These words contained no lies, and were spoken with utmost sincerity, moving even Huo Yugong to tears.

Then look at Jiang Mo over there.

His clothes were tattered and barely hanging on his body like scraps of cloth, and his muscular physique revealed some uneven skin tones.

It is clearly new skin that has grown back after the injury healed.

This is not unusual, but if a person's entire body, almost half of which looks like it has pretty pink skin, that would be quite shocking.

Just imagining his body covered in wounds is enough to send chills down your spine.

Considering that this potentially fatal injury has not only fully healed, but also left no gruesome scars on his body, everyone couldn't help but marvel at it in secret:

It truly lives up to its name as the divine bird, the Azure Phoenix.

He truly deserves to be called a messenger blessed by the gods.
