Chapter 358: Conspiracy(1/2)
Shi Wu, who returned to Yiyue Peak, took out the sound transmission jade pendant she carried with him. The sound transmission jade pendant of Lin Qing and Zhao Xin was always lit, but Xu Lu's piece never moved.
Shi Wu was a little disappointed and picked up Lin Qing's voice-transmitting jade pendant. Lin Qing's concern inside made Shi Wu feel a little ashamed. He held the voice-transmitting jade pendant and said, "Don't worry, I just need to adjust my breath well and it's okay. But you, I still have time to ask you how you have practiced."
Lin Qing, who was in his house, immediately replied as soon as he received a message from Shi Wu: "I have been promoted to the late stage of foundation building. The power of body and flesh has reached the middle stage of the Golden Dew and Jade Spiritual Flesh with the help of your golden dew and jade spirit."
After hearing this, Shi Wu said happily: "That's great! By the way, I can now make the golden dew and jade spirit flesh with water attributes in the late stage of foundation building. I will help you deliver it."
Lin Qing knew that Shi Wu was injured and hurriedly said, "No need, you can recover well. Master told me that as long as you verify your own cultivation, you can go to the Moon Peak to get the corresponding golden dew and jade spirit flesh. I will go over and get it by myself."
Shi Wu thought that this would be fine, so he said, "Then wait and go and get it. After taking it, absorb it well and prepare for the sect competition on the second day of the second month."
"Okay..." Lin Qing obviously had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.
Seeing that Lin Qing did not send any more messages, Shi Wu hung her voice-transmitting jade pendant on the branches of the fire pattern. He picked up Zhao Xin's piece again: "Awesome, Brother Xiaowu, you really opened your eyes today. How could you be so powerful!"
Listening to Zhao Xin's series of praise, Shi Wu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, why am I so awesome? My left arm is still hurting now."
Zhao Yin quickly sent a message and replied, "It's already very good. Your opponent is Mu Fei from the late stage of the Nascent Soul! By the way, I'm on my uncle's side now. He asked me to tell you to be very careful of Yue Lingfei. My uncle's registered master mentioned that this young palace master is a person below one person and above ten thousand people in the upper sect, and he acts very self-centeredly. He will definitely be preparing for what will happen next if he doesn't make an attack this time!"
A warm feeling surged in Shi Wu's heart and said, "I understand Brother Zhao, thank you for your reminder."
A laughter came from Zhao Xin and said, "What else do we have to thank for? Please meditate and adjust your breathing, and then you can get the first time you will get back to the sect."
"Yes." Shi Wu replied and ended his voice transmission with Zhao Xin.
Shi Wu looked at Xu Lu's voice transmission jade pendant still without light, and he sighed and hung it together. Shi Wu did not practice, nor did he meditate and regulate his breathing, but lay on the human-shaped cushion that the fire-patterned flower weaved with roots for him quietly looking at the voice transmission jade pendant belonging to Xu Lu. Although his left arm had recovered, it still hurt a little. But he cared more about why Xu Lu had not heard from him. He felt that they had become a little unfamiliar after she came out of seclusion this time. Shi Wu wondered if it was because he had been separated for too long, or that the message he had left for Xu Lu before made her too stressed. He rubbed his painful left arm and didn't know what to do for a while.
On the Moon Peak, Liu Han, who sent Gongsun Ye back to the palace master's hall, came to the house of the outer disciples. When the outer disciples saw their master coming, they came out of the cave one after another under the leadership of their senior sister Cao Yingqiu.
Liu Han first asked Cao Yingqiu about his recent cultivation status. After asking Wan Jin, she asked them to go back to practice, leaving behind Xu Lu who had no inquiry.
Liu Han looked at her disciple. Because she was going to be in seclusion and promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, she didn't care too much about these outer disciples. I think they and herself were not as kind as Nian Rong. Liu Han said, "Lu'er, you have been here on my Moon Peak for some time."
Xu Lu replied: "It's been almost twenty years."
Liu Han said: "Time flies so fast. Speaking of which, after I picked you up the mountain, I didn't ask about your cultivation. Do you think your teacher has treated you with nothing?"
"How dare you, my disciple!" Xu Lu hurriedly said, "The teacher's kindness is like a mountain, and Xu Lu will never forget it until his death."
Seeing Xu Lu excitedly trying to kneel down and kowtow, Liu Han helped her up and said, "No need to be polite."
Seeing that Liu Han was a little polite to her, Xu Lu thought that she must have told her about Shi Wu.
I heard Liu Han say, "Lu'er, you are very blessed. Once you meet, you will meet someone who has you in your heart. To be honest, Master envies you very much."
Xu Lu didn't reply, just stood there and listened quietly.
Liu Han continued: "I came to you to tell you that Shi Wu is likely to win the first place in the sect competition this time, so you need to wait in the outer hidden world for fifty years. But don't worry, in addition to dealing with the matter of the Moon Worshiping Palace in these fifty years, the master will also focus on cultivating you and let you go to the inner hidden world together in the next sect competition. In this way, your fairy couples can also become a good story."
Xu Lu heard this and said excitedly: "Thank you, Master."
Liu Han nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and rest, and greet Shi Wu on my behalf."
"Yes." Xu Lu replied.
After seeing Liu Han off, Xu Lu came over to ask twice before going back to her cave. If her dispersed spirit heard Liu Han's words, she would definitely be ecstatic and shy to think that Shi Wu was really a fool, so impatient to tell others about their relationship. But for Xu Lu now, this matter was extremely troublesome. It would be a big deal to go to the Inner Realm Sect in fifty years. Now that she has left the seclusion, Shi Wu will definitely come to her. If she has not been in contact with Shi Wu, it will definitely arouse his suspicion. But once it comes into contact, it will be easier to reveal that the current deity does not have that dispersed feeling for him.
Xu Lu, who returned to the cave, thought about it and decided to send a message to me first: "Xiao Wu, Master just said something to me. How is your injury? Does it still hurt?"
Shi Wu on Yiyue Peak saw Xu Lu's voice-transmitting jade pendant lit up, and before the fire pattern flowers could reach the branches, he got up and took them. After hearing Xu Lu's words, he said in his heart: "So it's Liu Han who is looking for you. She must have asked you about your cultivation."
Xu Lu followed Shi Wu's words and replied: "Well. I just came out of seclusion and I was not very adaptable to some things. Master also brought the golden and jade spirit flesh from the late stage of foundation building and said that I would take it well. Then I'll look for you after taking it?"
"Okay." Shi Wu replied hurriedly.
After hearing Shi Wu's words, Xu Lu put the jade pendant aside with relief. She recalled Shi Wu's previous voice transmissions: "Sister Xu Lu, today is my thirteenth birthday, and I can rest well every day every year. I don't know why, but I miss you very much as I am free. I will say ok first, I miss you normally, but I don't think so much like today. I really want to eat Lingji steamed buns with you this morning and then go to the Moon Palace for a trip. At noon, we went to Guanyuefeng Uncle Yang and Uncle Ma to eat the hand-rolled noodles made by Uncle Ma himself, and with them
Let’s talk about the recent situation. At night, Uncle Yuan, the old immortal in your mouth, will help me bring a bowl of brown sugar water from the mortal world, half a roast chicken, and half a jar of Drunk Fairy Brew. This brown sugar water is made by Sister Liu Li, who I mentioned. Although I don’t know why Uncle Yuan brings it for me every year, I really want to eat it with you. My alcohol tolerance is still so poor, I get drunk as soon as I drink it. I woke up from the cold in the morning. Sister Xu Lu, Xiao Wu really misses you very much, but I know you are trying to go into seclusion. Xiao Wu’s birthday wish this year is to wish you a successful cultivation level and get out of seclusion as soon as possible.”
Shi Wu left a total of six messages to Xu Lu during the past seven years, which were sent to Xu Lu on the day of his thirteen to eighteenth birthday. In addition to his longing, Shi Wu also had some imagination about the future of the two. He wanted to take her back to Xuanjia Village, see where he grew up, and then introduce her to everyone he knew. After joining the mortal world, he wanted to take the betrothal gift to meet her parents and tell them that he would protect her for the death of his life, hoping that they could entrust Xu Lu to him. In his 18th birthday message, he specifically mentioned that if possible, the two of them would settle the marriage before he went to the Inner Realm, and he would ask Liu Han to come forward as a matchmaker.
It was extremely ironic to say it. Faced with Shi Wu's affectionate confession, after Xu Lu lost that strand of distraction, she did not feel any sweetness but felt a disgusting feeling. Her mind was very confused now. She tried to use the divine technique to separate another divine mind to solve the trouble in front of her, but she found that her divine technique had failed. Then there was only one explanation. The divine consciousness she divided in front did not dissipate, but was still in the mirror of confusion. Xu Lu sat in the cave with restlessness, constantly thinking about a solution. What she had even more unexpected was still behind.
That night, Yue Lingfei, who came back from Guanyuefeng Canteen, had an idea. He wanted to play a game, a game where he was the winner and everyone lost chips.
Yue Lingfei asked Mu Fei: "Do you know the specific origin of Shi Wu?"
Mu Fei replied: "I heard that Tang Yizhuo brought it back to drink the Caiyu Soup instead of Tang Yun."
Yue Lingfei paused when she heard Tang Yun’s name, and said back to Shi Wu and said, “Who knows the most clearly?”
Mu Fei thought for a while and said, "Zhao Xin, the eldest disciple of Luoyue Peak's outer sect! His uncle is Zhao Yin, the head of Luoyue Peak, and is the registered disciple of Elder Zhang Peizhang of the Shangzong."
"Oh?" Yue Lingfei nodded, "Then let's go find Zhao Yin tomorrow."
The next morning, Yue Lingfei brought Mu Fei to the outside of the palace master's hall at the hour of Mao.
Elder Liu, who was guarding outside, knew what happened in the square yesterday, immediately notified Liu Han with a jade pendant. After receiving the command, Liu Han teleported to him.
However, compared to Liu Han's nervousness, Yue Lingfei said calmly: "The leader of Liu Han is here just right. I have something to ask the Lord Gongsun Palace. Come in together."
Liu Han didn't know what tricks the young palace lord was going to play today, so she entered the palace lord's palace with him.
At this time, Gongsun Ye was taking a nap. Seeing Yue Lingfei's voice coming from outside, he was also wondering what the other party wanted.
Yue Lingfei entered the palace and said bluntly: "Master Gongsun Palace, this sect competition has more than ten days left. I think you will send someone to count the cultivation and spiritual root attributes of the disciples of the Moon Worshiping Palace before this, and then I will arrange the order of their battles with you?"
Gongsun Ye didn't expect that the other party came here for the sect competition. He said: "In the past, they were asked to draw lots by themselves. If the young palace master personally arranged it would be too troublesome."
Yue Lingfei smiled and said, "This is my messenger's duty. Although Shi Wu performed outstandingly yesterday, I hope to see more powerful disciples appear in the Moon Palace."
Seeing that Yue Lingfei seemed to really care about the disciples of the Moon Palace, Gongsun Ye didn't want to refuse and said, "Okay, I'll ask Junior Brother Zhao Yin from Luoyuefeng to go and count first."
When Yue Lingfei heard Zhao Yin's name, he followed the trend and said, "Then Mu Fei and I went directly to Luoyue Peak."
Gongsun Ye said: "Okay."
Yue Lingfei respectfully bowed to Gongsun Ye, and then teleported away from Mu Fei.
Liu Han couldn't figure it out and said, "Senior Brother, do you want me to come and have a look?"
"No need, their purpose is not visible in the end. Let's just wait and see what changes." Gongsun Ye said.
Liu Han also agreed, "Yes, this young palace master is acting too strange. I hope he doesn't make things too difficult for him because Junior Brother Zhao is a registered disciple of the elder of Shangzong."
Gongsun Ye just looked at the direction of Luo Yuefeng and did not reply.
On Luoyue Peak, Zhao Yin did not seem panic when facing Yue Lingfei and Mu Fei who suddenly arrived. Because Yue Lingfei said at the beginning, "Zhang Pei asked me to come to you if you have something to do."
When Zhao Yin heard the name of his registered master, he respectfully invited them into the mansion.
Seeing the decoration of the mansion that was like a wealthy family inside, Yue Lingfei teased and said, "Elder Zhang has always been elegant, but he didn't expect that the disciples he accepted in this hidden world were quite down-to-earth."
Zhao Yin had no choice but to cater to him: "This place was built according to the small home, which made the young palace master laugh."
Yue Lingfei didn't continue talking about this with Zhao Yin. He said, "The first thing I came to find you is an open matter. You send someone to count the cultivation level and spiritual root attributes of the disciples in the Moon Worshiping Palace."
When Zhao Yin heard this, he hurriedly found Zhao Xin and told him to do the matter. When Yue Lingfei saw Zhao Xin, he looked a little strange, but he didn't say anything.
After Zhao Xin left, Yue Lingfei winked at Mu Fei. Mu Fei immediately covered the outside of Zhao Yin's house with his wooden spiritual power, isolating outsiders' spying.
Relaxed Yue Lingfei raised her foot on Zhao Yin's table and said, "I heard that your nephew is a close friend to Shi Wu?"
Zhao Yin didn't know what Yue Lingfei meant, but he knew that the young palace master would never let go of his grudges with Shi Wu yesterday. He hurriedly helped Zhao Xin to clear his relationship and said, "My nephew is just a little cooperation with Shi Wu, and he can't talk about making friends."
Yue Lingfei said coldly: "Zhang Pei didn't tell you what kind of personality I have?"
Zhao Yin was sweating in cold sweat, and his fat body suddenly lay on the ground and said, "Young Palace Master, my nephew has made a mismatched friend. If you have any instructions, just say it, don't take your anger on my nephew."
Yue Lingfei took back his raised feet, walked over and helped Zhao Yin up and said, "Didn't your Gongsun Palace Master say that, unless the teacher's kindness does not need to kneel down, so you just stand and talk to me."
Zhao Yin did not dare to stand up and said, "As soon as I saw the young palace master, I seemed to see my master, and it is appropriate to kneel down."
Yue Lingfei laughed and said, "If the people in the Moon Palace in the External Hidden Realm are as good as you, how could they be trapped in this Fengshan Formation?"
Zhao Yin said: "What the young palace master said is."
Yue Lingfei said seriously: "Okay, the flattery words end here. I will ask you and answer later. If there is a half false statement, I can still use Mu Fei to move."
Zhao Yin glanced at Mu Fei and kowtowed quickly and said, "Young Palace Master, it's okay to ask."
Yue Lingfei said: "Is there someone Shi Wu liked? Xu Lu?"
Zhao Yin nodded and said, "Yes. My nephew once said this. Shi Wu was very concerned about him and prepared the corresponding attributes of the golden dew and jade spirit flesh for her before going into seclusion. I think her current strength should be around the late stage of foundation building."
Yue Lingfei nodded and said, "No, let's talk to me about this Shiwu."
Zhao Yin did not dare to hide anything, and told Yue Lingfei everything about how Shi Wu came to the Moon Palace and then drank the Creation Soup without dying. Even the blood seven of Wuyougu made a big fuss in the small gathering to capture Shi Wu...
Yue Lingfei felt the greater the sense of crisis in his heart. He felt that this son could not be kept. Not only because Lao Yang and Lao Ma valued him very much, but also because he could not control such a person. If he took Shi Wu to worship the Moon Palace and the Shangzong, his position as the palace master would be in danger in the future.
Seeing that Yue Lingfei's expression changed, Zhao Yin told him the secret that Shi Wu was the fire-patterned spiritual master. By the way, Shi Wu specially asked the four peaks to ripen the spiritual plant for his confidant Lin Qing, and then asked Liu Han to refine the foundation-building pill to help Lin Qing break through the realm and become a foundation-building cultivator.
When Yue Lingfei heard this, he had a playful smile on his face. He said with satisfaction: "That's right, it's much more detailed than the information others gave me."
After hearing this, Zhao Yin wiped his cold sweat and said, "The young palace master asked, and the young man naturally knew everything."
Yue Lingfei suddenly asked, "Then which one do you think, Xu Lu or Lin Qing, is important to Shi Wu?"
Zhao Yin didn't understand why Yue Lingfei asked this question, so he said: "Young Palace Master, one of them is a love of love and the other is a confidant. It's hard to choose."
Yue Lingfei laughed: "It's right if it's not easy to choose, I want him to choose."
Zhao Yin was afraid that the young palace master would cause something, but others were so careless that it would be a blessing to be able to protect themselves.
To be continued...
