The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 3569

Conlay nodded.

”Now, the imperial city is almost completely controlled by the people of the Great Preceptor. They hold no grudges against us, and we’ve even done them a small favor.”

Hearing that, Philip merely nodded. However, he did not believe that the fire phoenix general’s faction would let him and Conlay go.

Amid the cheering crowd, Philip heard them shouting, “Phoenix Tribulation, Phoenix Tribulation!”

A hint of reminiscence crossed Conlay’s eyes.

He said to Philip, “I forgot all about the Phoenix Tribulation…”

Seeing Philip’s bewilderment, Conlay explained to Philip what the Phoenix Tribulation meant.

It was a special rite circulated in the fire phoenix royal family a long time ago. Every member of the fire phoenix royal family, or rather, a young adult under the age of 20, must go through this stage before they could officially evolve into members of the fire phoenix royal family.

The phoenix totem would appear on their bodies only during this time.

“After the Phoenix Tribulation, there’ll be a grand gathering in the family, the Rebirth Ceremony. Back then, I was the most outstanding talent of the fire phoenix royal family and even won first place in the Rebirth Ceremony.”

As if remembering the glory before, a smile bloomed on Conlay’s face, but it quickly disappeared.

He recalled his past. After the Rebirth Ceremony, he, the ninth prince whom everyone thought of as a hero in the fire phoenix royal family was banished.

Philip patted him on the shoulder and said, “Is it true that only people from the fire phoenix royal family can participate in this Rebirth Ceremony?”

Hearing that, Conlay raised his eyebrow and asked, “Are you saying that we should attend the Rebirth Ceremony?”

Philip asked, “Can I participate in the Rebirth Ceremony just by going through that place once?”

If this was the only requirement, anyone could participate in the Rebirth Ceremony as long as they went through the Fiery Canyon. If a powerful mighty being simply needed to go through the Fiery Canyon and then attend the Rebirth Ceremony, this event was as good as naught.

Conlay said softly, “That’s not exactly the case because outsiders can’t participate in the battle of the royal family during the Rebirth Ceremony at all.”

Philip said, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s sign up now.”

Although Philip was not a member of the fire phoenix royal family, Conlay was indeed the ninth prince of the fire phoenix royal family
