Chapter 435: Chapter 216: Qingmiao Palace Master and Disciple Receiving a Letter and ’Tengshe as the Tomb God’ in the Eastern Dynasty_2
However, no matter what, a trip to the Wandao Sect is necessary.
What right does Mu Qingyue have to turn her husband into an obedient puppy through dual cultivation?
Wouldn’t that mean in the future, he would have to look at her face to decide?
’Back then, she didn’t confess her feelings to her husband. If she had refined him into a sword spirit earlier...’
Zhu Nanzhi took a deep breath: "Does Sect Master Zheng know about this?"
"Then just let him know." Xiao Yinruo handed the letter back to Zhu Nanzhi: "Given how much Sect Master Zheng values Jin’an, he definitely won’t allow such a thing."
At this moment, a hawk let out a sharp cry and swooped down from the sky. Xiao Yinruo raised her forearm to catch it steadily and took the letter tied to its leg.
"Wanyu and Jin’an are currently in the Radiant Domain." Xiao Yinruo turned to Zhu Nanzhi: "Do you want to go?"
"Master, you should go." Zhu Nanzhi thought for a moment and said: "I should still go to the Wandao Sect... Husband definitely wouldn’t want me to see him being bullied right now."
Xiao Yinruo looked at Nanzhi with a hint of surprise, thinking this didn’t quite match Nanzhi’s character... Shouldn’t she first get Jin’an out of there?
Why is she considering Jin’an’s dignity first?
Zhu Nanzhi looked at her master and sincerely said: "Husband is now the Saint Heir of the Wandao Sect."
Xiao Yinruo noticed that Nanzhi had indeed changed, but couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly had changed.
"Then you should go to the Wandao Sect." Xiao Yinruo said while setting a protective prohibition for Nanzhi: "If you’re not at ease, you can visit Zeng Suqin first when you get there, and if anything unexpected happens, have her find Sect Master Zheng."
"I understand." Zhu Nanzhi went back to her room, changed into a ru skirt, and promptly left Qingmiao Palace without delaying.
Xiao Yinruo looked at the letter sent back by Yi Beiyao in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed.
Would Wanyu really allow Qingyue to do such a thing?
And that day during the ’empathy’ with Qingyue, it seemed like it was actually Qingyue who was feeling uncomfortable.
’Forget it, I’ll know the truth when I meet Wanyu.’
Xiao Yinruo stepped out, and suddenly a doubt crossed her mind.
Who sent that letter to Nanzhi?
With this thought, Xiao Yinruo summoned another Vice Palace Master, Gu Chenxi: "You secretly follow Nanzhi, only act when necessary."
Gu Chenxi took the order and withdrew.
Xiao Yinruo recalled the handwriting on the letter just now, her eyes slightly narrowing. On Taichu Peak, besides those involved, who else knew such a secret matter?
······
In the Radiant Domain, within Hanshan Temple in Jiuhua City.
Due to the prior arrangements of Uncle Xu Shu, most of the monks in the temple had left, making the vast Hanshan Temple seem like it was just the two of Taichu Hall’s master and disciple.
Pei Wanyu, strolling along the path in the temple, put away her Communication Compass and said to Lu Jin’an beside her: "Qingmiao Palace sent Yi Beiyao to observe the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition."
Lu Jin’an nodded: "It’s fine, afterward when the Ten Domains competition is over, we can conveniently visit Qingmiao Palace too."
Pei Wanyu narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and jested: "In a serene and sacred place like Qingmiao Palace, would you dare do such things?"
Lu Jin’an pondered for a few seconds: "Doesn’t it feel more thrilling if it’s done secretly?"
Pei Wanyu smiled with a mischievous intent: "What if Yinruo sees it again..."
Lu Jin’an immediately interrupted his master: "If Master is with me..."
"I am not inclined towards Qingyue’s hobbies." Pei Wanyu glared at him: "Want me to guard the door for you? Keep dreaming!"
"Palace Master Xiao wouldn’t peek either." Lu Jin’an shook his head, dropped the topic, and walked into the Library Pavilion.
In sight, Dongfang Xinglan was still reading, but who knows which book it was.
Standing at the entrance, Pei Wanyu glanced over. Her authoritative gaze made Dongfang Xinglan instinctively turn his head.
Though it was brief, Dongfang Xinglan felt a more imposing presence than even the Divine Temple’s Emperor Tedi... Certainly stronger than Emperor Tedi!
"This is my master." Lu Jin’an introduced with a smile: "Deputy Sect Master of Wandao Sect, Pei Wanyu."
Dongfang Xinglan closed the book and put it back on the shelf, then turned to bow: "Junior greets Master Pei."
In her eyes flashed a hint of surprise, not expecting Lu Jin’an’s master to be such a beauty.
Especially with her strength... Why does it feel tiring?
Pei Wanyu raised her hand: "No need for formalities."
She stepped into the Library Pavilion and came to Dongfang Xinglan’s side: "What book are you reading?"
Dongfang Xinglan slightly moved aside, the fragrance wafting into her nose sparkled a doubt in her eyes.
Why does Master Pei have the same... milky scent as Lu Jin’an?
She didn’t dwell on it, slightly nervous as she replied: "Books introducing the Five Sects and Seven Schools."
"What are your thoughts?"
Dongfang Xinglan fell silent for a moment before saying: "I don’t know."
She glanced at the dignified and elegant Pei Wanyu. If what’s recorded in the book is true... She now isn’t sure, she knows why she’s not sure.
Because it concerns her lifelong worldview and beliefs.
Pei Wanyu gave Dongfang Xinglan a look, and said indifferently: "I didn’t come to make you believe in anything; I came to give you a chance to see more with your own eyes."
Dongfang Xinglan was startled: "You mean...?"
Pei Wanyu raised her hand, the spiritual power in her palm as dark as the night sky: "This is not your first time leaving the Eastern Dynasty. When you return, the first thing you will do is pay homage to Emperor Tedi, right?"
Dongfang Xinglan’s expression slightly changed: "You mean Emperor Tedi is inspecting?"
"That’s for your own judgment." Pei Wanyu said calmly: "You are Jin’an’s friend, so I’m willing to help you.
But whether you need it is for you to decide, I won’t force you."
Dongfang Xinglan looked at Pei Wanyu, her expression complex. After hesitating for a while, she bowed: "Please allow me to consider it."
Pei Wanyu clenched her palm and smiled slightly: "There’s no need to be anxious, come find me when you’ve made your decision."
With that, she turned to leave, Lu Jin’an following her outside, transmitting: "Master, you’ve already set up insurance, right?"
"Smart." Pei Wanyu pinched Lu Jin’an’s face: "Can’t I handle a body cultivator?
But I haven’t done anything extra, just preventing her belief in that female serpent from interfering with her memory."
Pei Wanyu looked ahead, voice calm: "If I’m right, the entire Eastern Dynasty operates on the basis of ’Tengshe as the tomb god.’
She tilted her head at Lu Jin’an: "Tengshe as the tomb god, entering into the void."
Lu Jin’an blinked: "You know divination?"
"I am your master!" Pei Wanyu lifted her chin proudly: "I know more than you think."
Then she beckoned Lu Jin’an, as if saying "quickly bow to your master."
Lu Jin’an teased with a smile: "Master, have you divined the fact that you’re very weak?"
Pei Wanyu immediately glared at him, pinching his ear: "Are you disdaining your master?"
"How could I, disciple?"
"Hehe..." Pei Wanyu gave him a sideways look: "Watch how I sort you out tonight."
Lu Jin’an smiled, keeping his thoughts to himself.
In affairs of the bedroom, Master really can’t maintain any dignity.
Pei Wanyu kicked at his leg, now let this ’rebellious disciple’ be smug for a while, let’s see how long he can stay smug...
Suppressing her thoughts, Pei Wanyu changed the topic: "Speaking of the Six Ren Technique, getting past the Eastern Dynasty won’t be easy."
Lu Jin’an looked at his master in surprise: "You really understand it?"
"Honestly, hardly an entry-level understanding." Pei Wanyu crossed her arms: "But for cultivators, where is anything easy, right?"
"That’s true."
"So..." Pei Wanyu looked at Lu Jin’an: "If you really plan to go to the Eastern Dynasty, you must prepare well."
"Disciple understands."
Pei Wanyu started walking: "Let’s go, see a sign with your master."
Lu Jin’an followed her steps: "Weren’t we going to look when we get to the Lingyin Domain?"
"Hanshan Temple is one of the few spiritual temples in the Radiant Domain." Pei Wanyu said softly: "This is where Emperor Shitian attained Buddhahood back then."
Lu Jin’an understood, since this time they came to investigate the life and death of the Second Buddha Emperor Shitian at Sumeru Mountain’s Buddhist Sect.
"Haven’t you investigated these past few days?"
"I have, but not beginning with Hanshan Temple." Pei Wanyu smiled slightly: "After all, I wanted to see about your marriage."
"You can easily make up other reasons."
Pei Wanyu shook her head: "Divination is based on what the heart seeks, wanting to ask implies a desire to know the answer."
Lu Jin’an nodded: "Master, teach me some art of divination."
"Alright, but I only know the basics, don’t blame me if I teach it wrong~"
She paused and added: "And don’t think about making me undress to apologize!"
???
Lu Jin’an looked blankly at Pei Wanyu, no, have you learned from that fox spirit Qiu Qingtang too?
Seeing the watery eyes of his master, Lu Jin’an suddenly understood.
Oh~ Master has taught him another way to be a rebellious disciple.
