Chapter 446: Chapter 220: Palace Master Xiao Arrives_2
"Hmm?" Lu Jin’an paused for a moment, then saw his Master raise her right hand and place it on his chest: "Master also thinks you’re hiding something here..."
She looked at Lu Jin’an with a smile, but her tone shifted: "I saw it the first time we met."
Lu Jin’an smiled and didn’t continue the topic: "Can I go out now, Master?"
"Did you come in?" Pei Wanyu looked at Lu Jin’an with a playful smile.
"..."
Lu Jin’an was speechless for a moment, then heard his Master continue: "Did I say something wrong? You entered..."
Lu Jin’an immediately knew what kind of outrageous words his Master was about to say, so he hurriedly interrupted her: "It’s only a matter of time."
Pei Wanyu smiled and didn’t continue teasing him, instead, she said: "This girl Dongfang Xinglan looks quite spirited, not at all weaker than that girl Nanzhi here."
As she spoke, Pei Wanyu withdrew her hand and weighed it: "And her legs are long too, quite similar to Qingyue’s, but more robust, you can tell she has strength."
"..." Lu Jin’an looked at his Master helplessly: "Did you peek at her bathing?"
"Master was just curious about how she hides it." Pei Wanyu said while weighing again: "Although she’s not as good as Qingyue, much less me, the weight of her chest isn’t something that can be hidden just by a chest wrap... Aren’t you curious?"
"I haven’t even figured out how Senior Sister hides it, and you want me to guess others?"
Lu Jin’an looked at his Master: "At most she used some kind of eye-blocking technique."
After all, he could detect a certain energy fluctuation on Dongfang Xinglan, unlike his Senior Sister, from whom nothing could be detected.
"Aren’t you curious?"
"Not at all." Lu Jin’an shook his head: "Just a relationship of mutual use, and besides that, her strength is formidable."
Lu Jin’an spread his hands: "There aren’t many women who can stir this disciple’s heart.
Also, Master, why do you keep talking about her? You’re not usually so petty, are you?"
"Master is just thinking about you." Pei Wanyu’s smile slightly faded: "After seeing so many sides of Dongfang Xinglan, what choice will she make, isn’t it obvious?"
"I know, Master." Lu Jin’an smiled: "Showing her so much is just to make her focus her attention on me, I have my limits."
"Do you?" Pei Wanyu rolled her eyes at him: "Previously at the back mountain, if Master hadn’t helped you, could you have subdued Qingyue?"
"You, Master, are one of my limits, after all."
"True." Pei Wanyu nodded, her good disciple indeed cannot perceive Qingyue’s true nature yet...
’What should I do, I really want to use this to tease him, it would be quite amusing~’
Feeling his Master’s breath quicken slightly, Lu Jin’an’s expression changed a bit, so he quickly said: "I’ll go keep an eye on things now..."
With that, he quickly opened the door and went out.
"Master won’t eat you..."
Pei Wanyu shook her head, her eyes flashed briefly, then she dressed neatly and went to the deck.
Outside Hanshan Temple, a number of Bodhisattvas were binding two monks as they gradually approached.
No need to guess, it was the Abbot and the Prior of Yinma Temple.
"Such speed." Pei Wanyu chuckled lightly.
Beside her, Dongfang Xinglan, whose figure was hidden by a cloak, looked at this beautiful woman, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "May I ask what you mean by that?"
Pei Wanyu said indifferently: "This place is quite far from Yinma Temple, only the Great Buddhas among the top ranks of the Buddhist Sect could have brought them over in one night."
Dongfang Xinglan lowered her eyes to the content of the book in her hands, just as one of the Bodhisattvas below spoke: "Saint Lu, we’ve already interrogated them, they did not..."
Before the voice below could finish, Dongfang Xinglan, standing by the Flying Boat’s railing, seemed to see a flash of darkness before her, and as she looked up, Lu Jin’an silently drew the ’National Guardian Sword’, with blood spattering.
"That’s enough." Lu Jin’an sheathed the sword, expressionless.
Pei Wanyu’s leisurely voice followed: "Rise."
Bao Yue Buddha, who had knelt all night, got up without a word, understanding that this was the tactic of Sumeru Mountain’s Buddha: to immediately capture the Abbot and the Prior of Yinma Temple to resolve the matter.
With a sullen face, Bao Yue Buddha disappeared on the spot without a word.
On the city tower of Jiuhua City, Emperor Jia Ning of the Eastern Dynasty entered through the side gate in a low profile, escorted by a group of Bodhisattvas.
Dongfang Xinglan silently watched her father, who traveled without his imperial carriage, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, and asked: "If the Abbot and the Prior of Yinma Temple truly have no connection to the assassination, isn’t it inappropriate to kill them directly without interrogation?"
Pei Wanyu looked at the girl, chuckled lightly: "Tianshui Buddha has already taken his own life, that’s enough."
Dongfang Xinglan said no more, silently stepping back a few steps to lean against the wall, continuing to peruse the book in her hand.
As if remembering something, Pei Wanyu asked: "What do you think of the Spiritual Energy contained within this world?"
Dongfang Xinglan politely stood up and replied: "I practice body cultivation."
"Can’t absorb it at all?"
"No."
Pei Wanyu nodded, her eyes full of thought.
Dongfang Xinglan probably can’t absorb Spiritual Energy for her own use, but perhaps some restriction prevents people of the Eastern Dynasty from practicing Spiritual Power.
"There’s no Spiritual Energy in the Eastern Dynasty?"
"There is." Dongfang Xinglan said: "But it is not compatible with my people in the court."
"Go ahead with your reading."
Pei Wanyu asked no more, merely frowning slightly, pondering how the Eastern Dynasty became purely a body cultivation dynasty.
To have Spiritual Energy but be unable to use it, the Eastern Dynasty is much like living in the age when the Human Clan just began the path of cultivation, knowing only body refinement without understanding the use of Spiritual Energy.
Pei Wanyu glanced back at Dongfang Xinglan, who was absorbed in her reading, this girl... and even the Eastern Dynasty she belonged to, are quite pitiable.
