Since the little Phoenix was still unwilling to leave the Vermilion Bird, he could not return inside her. If the Vermilion Bird were to disappear, the little Phoenix would be completely dumbstruck. Furthermore, she was inexperienced with caring for a magical beast, and so she could only allow him to remain outside for that time being.
However, she could not bring the Vermilion Bird and the little Phoenix along with her back to the Saint Laurent Academy, right?
Ouyang Huanyu was the Saint Laurent Academy's dean, and he was a Great Archmagus. Even if he could not identify the Vermilion Bird's true identity, he would certainly know the little Phoenix's rank. She knew just how much trouble an eighth-ranked young magical beast would bring.
