Chapter 885: Chapter 886:
But the next second, Wen Qingmuâs words brought a glimmer of hope to Li Tingyan, "However, if Nianyang was taken by Phoenix, maybe she wouldnât take Nianyang to the base immediately."
"What do you mean?" Li Tingyanâs nerves tightened along with the tension.
"You know, Phoenix likes me, she pursued me passionately back in the day, but I only liked Lan. She was very hostile to Lan, and the potion that harmed Lan back then was made by Phoenix herself."
This matter weighed heavily on Wen Qingmuâs mind, becoming his inner demon. He always believed that it was because of him that Chu Lan died so cruelly in the end.
So bringing it up again, his heart was torn with a ripping pain.
He slowly digested this pain, saying word by word, "Phoenix hates Lan, and Nianyang looks just like Lan, so seeing Nianyang, Phoenix would definitely transfer her hatred for Lan onto Nianyang."
Li Tingyan, with a flash of insight, instinctively tightened his grip on his phone, "So, Elder Wen, you mean that Phoenix might first take Nini to another place for revenge?"
Wen Qingmu nodded, "With Phoenixâs jealous nature, itâs very likely, so I suspect she wonât hand Nianyang over to her boss immediately. Instead, sheâll take her to her own territory, to exact revenge on Nianyang."
Li Tingyan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but quickly tensed up again because these were just speculations, and even if Nini wasnât taken to the main base.
But with Phoenixâs devious and vicious methods, Nini wouldnât have a good ending in her hands.
"Phoenix has always wanted the secret formula for eternal youth that I have," Wen Qingmu continued to analyze, "She would definitely guess I gave the formula to Nianyang and would surely force Nianyang to hand over the formula.
Nianyang wouldnât give it to her, and to get the formula, Phoenix wouldnât kill Nianyang, at most she would just torture her, so Nianyang isnât in immediate danger."
Li Tingyanâs breathing grew slightly hurried, "Elder Wen, you know Phoenix, you should be quite familiar with her, so do you know where she might be?"
Wen Qingmu thought about it carefully, taking about half an hour, "Possibly in Jiangcheng Anshan. I remember Phoenix telling me that itâs her favorite place, maybe she has a private residence there."

The sound of water splashing.
Cold water poured down.
Nianyang, curled up in a damp, dark corner, slowly opened her eyes. Her body alternated between hot and cold, accompanied by severe pain, and her mind was muddled.
She weakly opened her eyes, feeling her breathing becoming increasingly heavy, with the burning sensation on her body growing hotter. She really was about to die.
"Yo, the tough nut has woken up." Phoenix approached Nianyang from across the room, looking down as if overlooking an ant, uttering a soft sneer, "After all this torment, you must be feeling pretty bad now, right?
Want a quick relief? Itâs actually very easy, just hand over the formula, and I wonât torture you anymore!"
Nianyangâs whole body hurt, especially her head, which felt ready to explode. She closed her eyes and croaked out, "I told you I donât have the formula, I canât give you anything!"
Slap!
Phoenix slapped the ground forcefully, her face stirring up a terrifying whirlwind, "Refusing the toast only to drink the forfeit, someone come, continue beating her until she gives in!"...
