"Master Pei, it’s getting late. I’ll take my leave now."
After finally finishing the matters entrusted by the Palace Master, Yi Beiyao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not being very familiar with Master Pei, I had to initiate the conversation without revealing any flaws... The sudden task from the Palace Master had a probing nature towards friendly sects, making it quite a challenging task.
But at last, it’s over.
Pei Wanyu politely said, "It’s almost noon, why not have a meal before you leave?"
"No need, no need," Yi Beiyao quickly replied, "I’ve primarily come to pay a visit. Please also convey the longing of our Holy Daughter to the Saint Heir."
"I understand." Pei Wanyu nodded with a smile, "I’ll see you off."
With that, she stood up and escorted Yi Beiyao to the door.
Yi Beiyao made a bow, "Master Pei, no need to accompany me further, I’ll take my leave now."
Pei Wanyu watched Yi Beiyao depart with a smile, a hint of playfulness glinting in her eyes.
She caught a faint scent of Xiao Yinruo from Yi Beiyao.
Though subtle, as one of the top Great Demons in the Demon Clan, this scent couldn’t be hidden from her.
Yet Pei Wanyu didn’t understand the reason for Yinruo’s sudden visit to Jiuhua City.
’It’s only three days from Qingmiao Palace to Jiuhua City, Yinruo only arrived today... Was there something urgent?’ Pei Wanyu wondered.
Logically, after empathizing with Qingyue, Yinruo would be embarrassed to see her so soon, yet here he was, secretly and hastily slipping in... a curious matter.
’Is it for official business or personal reasons?’
Turning back into the boat cabin, Pei Wanyu thought for a long time and felt she might be overthinking.
After all, observing Yinruo’s actions towards her would clarify his intentions in visiting Jiuhua City.
If he didn’t come secretly, it was official business; if he came secretly, it was personal.
’Tonight, I must entice the good disciple a bit; if he doesn’t bite, then I will.’ Pei Wanyu chuckled lightly and stepped into the cultivation room of the flying boat.
Dongfang Xinglan, after reading book after book, recalled the woman in the simple, pure white dress earlier, doubt flickering in her eyes.
There are indeed many masters outside the border, but why not attack inside the border?
She looked down at the content on the book page, which depicted a map with annotations beside it.
The Eastern Great Realm, east of the Eastern Dynasty, Jiuli Dynasty, and Shenmiao Dynasty, centered around the Qingyuan Domain and Longxi Domain, radiates over thirty-four medium and small domains, collectively known as the Three Great Dynasties.
The Dynasties are steeped in faith, stagnant, though not inactive, they are arrogant and ignorant, pitiable and lamentable.
Dongfang Xinglan’s fingertips brushed over records of the Three Great Dynasties from outside the border, frowning slightly.
According to views from outside the border, great domains are rare cultivation treasures, long coveted, yet why hasn’t action been taken?
Is it merely because of the Lin Yuan Sword Sect and East Slope Confucian Academy?
Yet why would these powerful sects from the Five Sects and Seven Schools protect the great domains?
Moreover... records about the Three Great Dynasties from outside the border are too few, frighteningly so compared to those about other great domains.
Is something unknown hidden among them?
’Does Father know about these matters?’ Newest update provided by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Dongfang Xinglan sighed softly, flipped to the next page, and continued reading.
Inside the cultivation room of the boat cabin.
Pei Wanyu regarded Lu Jin’an, pale and drained of much Soul Power, speaking with concern, "There’s no hurry; rest a while."
"The sooner I finish, the sooner I can rest."
Lu Jin’an opened his eyes and looked at his Master, "It’s not particularly difficult, but this old bald monk’s five-thousand-year memory is a bit much; to increase efficiency, I have to exhaust Soul Power.
I’ll just take some elixirs to replenish the soul afterward."
"Would you like to practice the ’Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill’ with me?" Pei Wanyu asked with a playful smile, "Of course, I won’t do what Qingyue did."
Lu Jin’an was taken aback for a moment, then his gaze involuntarily shifted to his Master’s chest concealed beneath her robes, which wasn’t so prominent.
The words from his Senior Sister on the Taichu Peak’s back mountain surfaced in his mind.
If, when flirting with Master, the traction rope of the Collar were buried amid that fair expanse...
Lu Jin’an quickly shook off the thought, reminding himself that the person in front of him was his Master, even such flirtation would be excessive.
Lu Jin’an coughed lightly, "That Dual Cultivation Soul Method requires establishing a master-servant position, let’s forget it... unless you have a way to eliminate that trait, Master."
"I’m not skilled at creating techniques," Pei Wanyu teased with a smile, "You’re my disciple, so it’s okay for you to be passive."
Lu Jin’an looked at his Master’s radiant face and candidly admitted, "Unless I learn the countering method my Senior Sister uses."
He thought, when his Senior Sister beat him, bit him, it would cause him to lose control of his body, so if he learned this countering method, wouldn’t it be easier to become a ’rebellious disciple’?
After all, a single blow or bite to his Master would render her incapable of controlling herself...
With these thoughts, Lu Jin’an fell into contemplation, considering that from this perspective, the ’master-servant position’ of the ’Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill’ could be balanced to some extent.
Pei Wanyu, having witnessed the day’s training and being trained, naturally understood the good disciple’s meaning. After a brief thought, she found it quite interesting.
It seemed possible to mutually control each other’s desires...
Pei Wanyu felt a desire to try, yet hesitated.
If she did so, would it be detrimental to managing the Lu Family in the future?
