Chapter 449: Chapter 221 ’Nanzhi, Master will definitely help you bring Jin’an back...’_2
In charge of things yourself, shouldn’t you also consider the feelings of others?
’But, could this become one of the methods to use against Lu Yunzhu in the future?’
Pei Wanyu tilted her head and glanced at Lu Jin’an: "You can also contact Qingyue now and ask how it was done."
"If you find out..." Lu Jin’an touched the back of his master’s hand: "Just like dual cultivation with Senior Sister, how about it?
That way, our ranks would be similar..."
"You want so much to be a rebellious disciple?" Pei Wanyu raised an eyebrow: "What if I don’t agree?"
"Then I might adopt Senior Sister’s disguise method." Lu Jin’an smiled: "More like a rebellious disciple, right?"
"That might be the case..." Pei Wanyu nodded: "But you saying it outright, now I’ve lost the anticipation."
"I was just speaking casually." Lu Jin’an joked: "Did you really have this thought?"
Pei Wanyu crossed her right leg over her left, her toes lightly swinging as she said, "Even without cultivating this Soul Technique, wouldn’t I indulge you, Master?
Besides, this is mainly to enhance Divine Soul Power."
"So..." Pei Wanyu suddenly stood up and looked at him: "Keep tonight free, Master has use for it."
After a brief thought, Lu Jin’an nodded: "Alright."
Pei Wanyu smiled and turned to walk out of the Cultivation Room: "It’s settled then, Master has prepared a surprise for you～
You keep watching, no need to see me off."
Seeing off his master, Lu Jin’an rested for a while. He then stretched, swallowed an elixir for Soul Nourishing, and continued perusing the memories of Tianshui Buddha.
It wasn’t until 7:45 PM that he finished reviewing the information related to the Buddhist Sect of Tianshui Buddha by noontime.
As for the Buddhist techniques cultivated by Tianshui Buddha, he temporarily didn’t need or find it necessary to review them.
After closing his eyes for a while to nourish his soul, Lu Jin’an exited the Cultivation Room. Walking straight out of the cabin, he saw Dongfang Xinglan seated against the wall, holding a peach in one hand and a book in the other, reading as she ate.
"It’s getting dark, go inside to read." Lu Jin’an lazily said in the wind: "The third room on the left is prepared for you."
"Thank you." Dongfang Xinglan bit into the peach, closed the book, put it on the pile beside her, and holding a stack, walked into the cabin.
Lu Jin’an glanced at her: "I’ll bring dinner to your room later."
"Hmm..." As if realizing her mouth was full with a peach, Dongfang Xinglan quickly held the book with one hand and the peach with the other: "No need."
Lu Jin’an amusingly looked at the somewhat dazed girl.
"No problem." Lu Jin’an waved his hand: "I need to prepare dinner anyway, and you’re a Body Cultivator, skipping meals will leave you hungry."
Dongfang Xinglan looked at the peach in her hand, calmly saying: "Body Refining can also involve fasting, besides... it’s a waste of time."
"Understood." Lu Jin’an gazed at the evening glow in the sky: "You are a guest, follow the host’s arrangements."
Dongfang Xinglan opened her mouth, hesitated, and said: "And those two Dog Demons..."
She wasn’t sure if the saint heir of a sect, Lu Jin’an, cared about the fate of two Dog Demons.
"Understood." Leaning on the railing, Lu Jin’an yawned: "I will do it."
"Thank you."
"You’re welcome." Lu Jin’an lazily said: "If someone starves to death here at this saint heir’s place, it would be quite laughable if word got out."
After speaking, he felt his pant leg being tugged. Looking down, he saw a Little Dog Demon looking up at him: "Thank you."
Lu Jin’an patted her head: "Come with me to the Wandao Sect in the future."
Little Xi turned to glance at her older sister, then looked at Dongfang Xinglan. Dongfang Xinglan squinted slightly at Lu Jin’an, contemplating if he wanted to make the two Dog Demons ’hostages’?
However, this worked too.
"Go ahead." Dongfang Xinglan smiled slightly: "It’s much safer there."
"Your sister will also be brought there." Lu Jin’an said: "In our Taichu Hall, there are also four demon beasts..."
Four?
A glint of amusement flashed in Lu Jin’an’s eyes. Who would have thought that besides himself and his senior sister, everyone at the Taichu Peak of the Human Clan’s number one Immortal Sect was a demon?
’Hmm? Although Senior Sister isn’t the master’s daughter, their relationship is deep; could she also be a demon?’
Lu Jin’an chuckled, feeling he was overthinking.
The master is powerful enough to hide demon energy, but where would Senior Sister get the strength to do so?
Even if the master helped her hide it, there would be flaws during breakthroughs, and besides, Senior Sister indeed cultivates in the Human Clan’s cultivation system.
How could she be a demon?
Lu Jin’an patted Little Xi’s head: "It’s settled then, but once at Taichu Hall, there will be work to do."
"Uh-huh!" Little Xi nodded and then ran towards Dongfang Xinglan: "Will you come to see me often?"
"Uh-huh."
"Hehe～"
Little Xi followed Dongfang Xinglan into the cabin, chattering away. Lu Jin’an slowly went to prepare dinner, with a usually silent girl following him to the kitchen.
Lu Jin’an asked: "Oh, what’s your name?"
The girl quickly replied, using what she’d learned over the past two days: "In response to the Saint Heir, this servant is now called Ru Yi."
Lu Jin’an understood in his heart; after all, the girl had ’reincarnated’ several times.
He didn’t ask more and led Ru Yi into the kitchen.
······
Under the night sky, Xiao Yinruo absentmindedly observed the stars above, her hair fluttering gently in the autumn breeze beneath the moonlight, making her white long dress appear even more ethereal and detached from the world.
"What hour is it?"
Yi Beiyao quickly responded: "Half past the hour of Xu."
Xiao Yinruo pressed her lips together, stepped forward, and disappeared from her original spot.
Yi Beiyao looked up at the stars, filled with curiosity. What’s wrong with the Palace Master today?
Just like when she suddenly disappeared during the meeting before, what happened?
"How strange."
Yi Beiyao murmured, while Xiao Yinruo had already quietly arrived on the deck of the Fire Phoenix Boat. She didn’t cast any spells because they could be sensed, so she simply suppressed her spiritual power to the minimum.
She first looked into a window and, seeing that all windows were shut tight, then stepped into the cabin’s passageway.
As soon as she entered, she saw the door to the third room on the left being opened, revealing a handsome figure. Oh~ that’s the young lady who dresses as a man according to Yi Beiyao, Dongfang Xinglan.
Xiao Yinruo wasn’t in the mood to delve deeper into why this girl was traveling with Pei Wanyu. In a flash, within the girl’s suddenly wide-open eyes, she knocked Dongfang Xinglan unconscious with a hand chop.
After carelessly placing her on the floor inside the door, Xiao Yinruo nervously glanced towards the room at the end of the passageway. The half-opened door let out faint light, and sounds of Wanyu being amused could be heard.
’Not discovered...’
Xiao Yinruo let out a sigh of relief and then quietly approached the bedroom. She didn’t want to look inside immediately, preferring to first judge the situation by the voices.
She did not notice a feather tip peeking through the crack of the wall at the doorway.
"Little Jin’an, raising dogs is no easy task～"
Listening to the voice from within, Xiao Yinruo furrowed her eyebrows. So it was exactly as stated in the letter... Otherwise, why would Wanyu mention raising dogs?
This ’dog’ refers to Jin’an, right?
What will Jin’an say in response?
"With your prowess at raising Spiritual Pets, how hard could a dog be? Besides, this dog isn’t a stranger, right?"
Listening to Lu Jin’an’s voice from within, Xiao Yinruo’s heart sank to the deepest abyss.
Another dog? This dog isn’t new... Jin’an was talking about himself in that way!!!
He’s already been trained to the point of calling himself a pup by Wanyu!?
No, he surely hasn’t fallen; he’s just compromising because he can’t fight Wanyu...
Xiao Yinruo bit her lip lightly; she absolutely must rescue Jin’an from that demoness Pei Wanyu.
Not only for Nanzhi but also... for the Wandao Sect!
"Indeed." Came Lu Jin’an’s voice from inside: "Especially given your identity, you’re apt at this sort of thing."
Xiao Yinruo pursed her lips; was Jin’an being sarcastic?
It must be... because all he can do now is this inward form of resistance.
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Xiao Yinruo thought that if Wanyu asked Jin’an to serve her later, that would be the perfect moment to act.
Having experienced the Empathy Technique herself, she well knew how disoriented one was in such moments, presenting the ideal chance!
"Heh～" Pei Wanyu chuckled lightly: "Want to know what surprise Master has prepared for you tonight?"
"Hmm?"
"You like Master’s feet, don’t you? So, you know～"
As expected!
All hope vanishing, Xiao Yinruo realized she needed to act urgently. Previously, Wanyu would never have let Jin’an do such things, but now she intended for Jin’an to directly serve her...
She was indeed ’raising a dog’!
’That demoness!’
Xiao Yinruo wanted so much to rush in immediately, but held back, realizing it wasn’t the time.
Wait until Wanyu is completely absorbed, eyes rolling back, and unaware of everything else — that’s when to strike!
’Nanzhi, Master will definitely bring Jin’an back for you...’
