Chapter 459: Chapter 225 "What are you, an old virgin practicing the Forget Love Path, in such a hurry for?"_2
"Go to the Wandao Sect." Xiao Yinruo said expressionlessly.
Pei Wanyu and Lu Jin’an spoke in unison: "No way."
Lu Jin’an continued to patiently explain, "Master and I came to Jiuhua City with a mission..."
He glanced at Pei Wanyu, then transmitted a message to Xiao Yinruo, "Aunt Ruo, aren’t you reassured in Jiuhua City?"
’This statement is actually in my favor.’
Xiao Yinruo looked at Lu Jin’an, after all in Jiuhua City, it’s indeed a place where advances can be made, and retreats can be defended.
"Fine." She turned around and took Lu Jin’an back towards Jiuhua City, and Lu Jin’an tightened his outer garment, letting out a sigh of relief deep inside.
What a fuss!
But...The Immortal’s speed is really fast. At this distance, it would take him half a day to arrive, but with Xiao Yinruo, they returned in less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.
However, the flying process was uncomfortable, the Vigorous Force in the Dao Palace kept surging to protect the physical body from harm.
But luckily, they finally returned to the Fire Phoenix Boat.
They entered through the Barrier and landed on the deck. As soon as Master landed, the Barrier closed again, and Lu Jin’an pointed immediately to the two Dog Demons not far away: "Palace Master Xiao, these are the ones Master and I mentioned earlier."
At the cabin door, Ru Yi was holding Little Xi, and the two Dog Demons stood there a bit frightened, clearly startled by the earlier commotion.
Unfortunately, the main cabin had Pei Wanyu’s Barrier, so they couldn’t go in to check on Dongfang Xinglan’s condition.
Seeing Master Pei and Saint Lu return, they finally felt somewhat reassured.
"Master and I intend to take them back to Taichu Hall." Lu Jin’an explained, "You should believe me now, right?"
Xiao Yinruo remained silent and walked towards the main cabin.
Lu Jin’an lagged a few steps behind, following Master, and whispered, "She still doesn’t believe us."
Pei Wanyu tucked hair behind her ear and said casually, "It’s normal; if I were the Master, I wouldn’t believe it either.
’The rumor that a Master treats you like a dog’ seems absurd, but sometimes the more absurd it is, the more it seems real. If it were any other rumor, that old maid would certainly sneer, right?"
Lu Jin’an agreed with a "Hmm," and said, "But how do we make her believe?"
"Leave it to Master." Pei Wanyu walked into the cabin with a calm expression, and Lu Jin’an followed closely behind.
Passing by Dongfang Xinglan’s room, Lu Jin’an opened the door to take a look and chuckled helplessly when he saw Dongfang Xinglan lying on the floor.
So, he was knocked out by Palace Master Xiao already.
Lu Jin’an, still wearing Xiao Yinruo’s outer garment, first returned to his room to change clothes before coming to the Master’s bedroom door, which was already ruined.
The traces of the mess on the floor were still there, and the pleasing fragrance lingered.
But it wasn’t the time to reminisce about the past; he stepped into the bedroom.
Inside, Master sat carelessly on the damp, soft bed, arms crossed, her left leg gently swaying over her right.
And Palace Master Xiao sat upright on a chair by the table, facing Pei Wanyu unwaveringly.
"Sit by me." Xiao Yinruo said softly to Lu Jin’an as he walked in.
Pei Wanyu snorted, "Is he your apprentice?"
"My son-in-law!"
"My man."
Xiao Yinruo chuckled softly, "I’m of higher seniority."
"What, do you still want him to call you ’mom’?" Pei Wanyu put down her left leg, "So shameless?"
"Words are futile." Xiao Yinruo remained unmoved, "To prove innocence, he must sit beside me!"
Pei Wanyu stood up, pulled Lu Jin’an to the table, pressed him into the chair in the middle, and then sat opposite Xiao Yinruo.
Xiao Yinruo snorted lightly, said no more, and was about to speak when Lu Jin’an coughed lightly, "Palace Master Xiao, let’s start from the beginning and assess, okay?"
"Alright, but before that, let me ask a question." Xiao Yinruo looked at Pei Wanyu, "What’s the ’Dragon and Phoenix Attraction Technique’?"
"It’s a Dual Cultivation method." Lu Jin’an explained, "But to say it, I am extracting a bit more from Master."
After speaking, before Xiao Yinruo could speak again, he quickly asked, "Why do you think I’ve become Master’s dog?"
Xiao Yinruo exhaled lightly, "Nanzhi received a letter saying so, and I believed it."
"Why did you believe it?" Lu Jin’an asked curiously.
Xiao Yinruo didn’t speak; could she say in front of Jin’an about her ’Empathy’ with Qingyue?
Evidently, she couldn’t.
After all, that would mean this kid...
But she indeed confirmed it through ’Empathy’ with Qingyue, as Jin’an’s actions towards Qingyue were too brutal.
Could that be called an affair?
That was coercion!
And why coerce?
Evidently, it was revenge!
And why revenge?
Because Mu Qingyue did something unpleasant to him.
Even if Jin’an hadn’t become anyone’s dog, the danger to this ’mother-daughter’ pair wasn’t eliminated.
"That’s not important." Xiao Yinruo said calmly, "In short, I believe it."
Pei Wanyu chuckled, having figured out many of the details.
Xiao Yinruo ignored her laughter because in matters concerning Lu Jin’an’s safety, she, as an Immortal, wouldn’t be easily swayed by Pei Wanyu again.
"You don’t dare to vow that Mu Qingyue wants to make you her dog, do you?"
Hearing this, Lu Jin’an poured tea while directly changing the subject, "Who delivered that letter?"
Pei Wanyu sipped her tea, but Xiao Yinruo didn’t move, "I don’t know, but it was sent from the Wandao Sect."
Lu Jin’an exchanged glances with Pei Wanyu, thinking that such private matters being known must have leaked from Taichu Hall.
But that day, Master wasn’t there, Chunyu and the others weren’t there, so...
Lu Jin’an squinted his eyes, only Qiu Qingtang was left.
