A laugh suddenly echoed from the edge of the field.
Soren Phoenix leaned against a tree, twirling a blade of foxtail grass between his fingers. "The little leopard is quite clever."
He turned his phoenix-like eyes to the distance.
Caelan Phoenix and Lian Phoenix, those two old fellows, pretended to be engrossed in digging a canal, but their ears were perked high.
Soren noticed their expressions and let out a small chuckle, deliberately raising his voice: "If you two want to return to The Phoenix Clan, the clan leader can send you off."
Just as he finished speaking.
Caelan and Lian swiftly raised their heads, shouting in unison: "We're not going back."
What a joke, they had struggled hard to find favor, going back would mean all their efforts were in vain.
Soren's smile deepened, "Since neither of you are going back, then work hard and stop thinking about slacking off all the time."
"Yes, clan leader."
They responded in unison, enthusiastically continuing to work.
