But by that time, these people had already become corpses.
She frowned in thought, and Pei Wanyu spoke again: "There’s some truth in that, but if that’s the only reason, there are many flaws, aren’t there?"
"I don’t know." Dongfang Xinglan shook her head and hesitated before asking, "Can I go down and take a look?"
"No." Pei Wanyu said indifferently, "Your identity is special, don’t cause trouble for me. Jin’an will take care of everything that needs to be done. When he returns and tells you about it, whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Dongfang Xinglan turned around and glanced down. As the Emperor continued to ascend the mountain, the people they encountered seemed to have higher and higher status. Although the Emperor and the other two Emperors still exchanged pleasantries with them, she could see the humility in their words and actions.
She had never seen her father .
Dongfang Xinglan shifted her gaze, searching for Lu Jin’an’s figure, and she quickly found him.
She looked at Lu Jin’an, her eyes momentarily dazed.
At this moment, Lu Jin’an was like the Emperor in the Eastern Dynasty, surrounded by admiration.
Even people who were very far away would rush over to greet Lu Jin’an at the first opportunity.
She saw those who exchanged pleasantries with her father actively approaching Lu Jin’an to express their greetings, even those high-status figures outside the border that her father had to humble himself before would lower their pretenses to converse with him.
Even Bao Yue Buddha, who had knelt all night, would smile and exchange pleasantries when he couldn’t avoid Lu Jin’an.
Among these people, there were those who had an ordinary relationship with Lu Jin’an and those who had a poor one, but on the surface, they all showed deference to him.
Dongfang Xinglan’s hands clenched slightly. It wasn’t that Lu Jin’an was like the Emperor in the Eastern Dynasty but that only in the Eastern Dynasty did the Emperor become like Lu Jin’an.
Once her father left the Eastern Dynasty, nothing was left, but if Lu Jin’an openly entered the Eastern Dynasty, even sitting on the court’s Dragon Chair, no one in the court would dare express dissatisfaction.
’Father’s attitude... seems to say a lot.’
Dongfang Xinglan took a few steps back, no longer watching the scene below. The recent investigations made her suddenly feel a sense of déjà vu when she saw her father.
What was this feeling?
Whether it’s the Eastern Dynasty, the Jiuli Dynasty, or the Shenmiao Dynasty, it’s like these factions outside the border drawing a boundary and enclosing a big jar, with the Three Great Dynasties being the crickets inside the jar, used for amusement.
Why doesn’t Lu Jin’an understand the Eastern Dynasty?
Because he’s standing too high up, and from such a height, how could he possibly see the ants below?
Dongfang Xinglan looked down at her hands, her fingers trembling slightly, but not out of fear or unease.
’Since the Saint Heir wants to play in the Eastern Dynasty, he indeed needs to be well entertained...’
Leverage to break the impasse!
It’s the only way forward.
Maybe Lu Jin’an will eventually lose interest in the "novel" Eastern Dynasty, but given that he’s already in the Eastern Dynasty, he has to help even if he doesn’t want to.
The only fortunate thing now is that the Saint Heir’s current strength is limited; this is the opportunity.
Dongfang Xinglan took a deep breath, trying not to show too much emotion, and turned to Pei Wanyu, speaking softly: "Master Pei, you mentioned earlier that my dynasty’s Martial God will examine the memories of everyone returning inside the border, right?"
Pei Wanyu smiled slightly: "Have you thought it through?"
Dongfang Xinglan took a deep breath: "Yes, I’ve thought it through."
"Come." Pei Wanyu gestured for her to come over: "I still say, it’s just to give you a chance to see more scenery."
Dongfang Xinglan gave a self-mocking smile: "I’ve already seen it."
Feeling the spiritual power of Master Pei touching her forehead, Dongfang Xinglan, slightly nervous in her heart, continued to ask: "How should I contact you then, Senior?"
As she asked, she deliberately thought about using Lu Jin’an while observing Pei Wanyu’s expression.
"Jin’an will come to you when the time comes." Pei Wanyu withdrew her right hand.
Dongfang Xinglan nodded, but she wasn’t completely reassured by Pei Wanyu’s spell.
After all, the great beauty in front of her was someone stronger than a Martial God, even if she sensed something, she wouldn’t reveal it in the slightest.
Or rather, she might not even care about the "cricket’s" little thoughts.
But even so, she still had to plan well just in case.
"Thank you." Dongfang Xinglan made a formal bow.
Dongfang Xinglan walked over to Ru Yi and Little Xi, feeling for the first time a sense of exhaustion.
Xiao Yinruo glanced at Pei Wanyu and, having learned about the Three Great Dynasties while bathing, sent a mental message: "Are you really letting Lu Jin’an go to such a dangerous place?
If he goes there and is discovered, he might very well become a ’mistaken kill’ under some people’s ’misjudgment’."
Pei Wanyu smiled slightly: "In his current condition, isn’t he in such a predicament anywhere except inside the Taichu Hall?
What needs to be avoided cannot be avoided, what needs to be faced must be faced, and I’m not the type to ’clip his wings’..."
"Of course, I’ll also step in when necessary." Pei Wanyu looked at the chessboard: "Speaking of which, now he can say ’my master is the Deputy Sect Master of Wandao Sect’ but in the future, I’d also like to say ’my husband is Lu Jin’an’, doesn’t that give a sense of security?"
Xiao Yinruo smiled, lowered her head to look at the chessboard, acknowledged her defeat, got up, and walked to the railing, looking down at Jiuhua Mountain.
She suddenly sent a mental message: "Mu Qingyue wants to treat him like a dog... is it also out of some strange sense of accomplishment?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIＦire.net
