Chapter 66: The Sunset Forest, the Sun and Moon Divine Pool!

  Lou Jun Yan's sideways lying posture, his strong arm passing through her slender waist, firmly imprisoning the woman in his arms, one hand slipping into her soft black hair, grasping the back of the woman's head, his cool lips pressed against her tender cherry lips, rolling and turning.

  Powerful and gentle, with a hint of intoxicating tenderness.

  Always following Ling Wushuang, Xiaojiu, who had just sneaked in through the window, saw this scene and quickly stretched out her soft little paws to cover her fluffy head. However, those two shiny black eyes stared unwaveringly at the entwined figures on the couch.

  "Uh——let it go——"

  Ling Wushuang's mind was in a daze, having been kissed to the point of intoxication. Her slender arms pushed against the man's broad chest, and with one sudden burst of strength, she finally managed to push Lou Junyan away.

  "Huff...huff...you you" Ling Wu Xiang panted heavily, his words somewhat stuttering.

  Lou Junyan's sudden attack made her calm mind short-circuit instantly, what kind of situation is this?

  Lou Junyan was pushed open, his arm bent and fell down on one side, half leaning against the big chair, his tongue tip lightly touched the vermilion lip corner, as if savoring something, then hoarsely said: "You didn't want to know, did you? This is the reason"

  The little guy's taste is more wonderful than he imagined.

  The hoarse voice spoke with a tone of reasonableness, and in the dark red eyes, there was a hint of cold smile.

  "Because you are my woman." Lou Jun Yan's tone was firm, his dark eyes locked onto Ling Wu Shuang's pale face which had a hint of red.

  "I, I? You——?" Ling Wu's eyes widened slightly as he pointed to himself and then to him, almost choking on a mouthful of blood from being blocked by Lou Junyan's words.

  This man! She? When did she become his... What happened when, how didn't she know!?

  Lou Junyan looked at her cold and stern face, but she had a dazed expression, her thin lips curled up slightly, her strong arms stretched out, and she leaned forward to pounce on her.

  Ling Wushuang, having been taken advantage of once before, naturally became more vigilant. With a slender arm supporting her body and her petite figure being extremely agile, she instantly dodged and jumped out!

  This man is still trying to bully her!

  Lou Junyan grasped at nothing with one hand, slightly raising an eyebrow in a subtle display of surprise. This little guy reacted pretty quickly and had decent spiritual awareness.

  "Lou Junyan lazily leaned against the black wooden chair of Qilin Yu, his slender hands stretched out towards Ling Wushuang, with distinct joints on his fingers, like cold jade carefully carved."

  Two faint words, spoken so naturally.

  Ling Wushuang stood a zhang away from him, hearing this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. Was she supposed to let him bully her? She wasn't an idiot!

  Glancing at the man who was stretching out his hand to her from a short distance away, Ling Wushuang gritted her teeth in secret. This situation was too strange, and she couldn't just go over there. If she did, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? But if she didn't go over, wouldn't that be deceiving him? This man seemed impervious to such tactics; in the face of absolute strength, everything else was empty.

  Ling Wushuang's mind was racing, and she covertly glanced at the half-open window beside her. She could vaguely see the dark sky with twinkling stars shining through it. Now there was only one way out - to make a run for it...

  "Want to leave? It seems it's too late." Just as Ling Wushuang hadn't had time to react, a low, gentle laugh sounded, and the man who was leaning against something one zhang away suddenly appeared by her side.

  The man stretched out his arm and casually scooped her into his embrace.

  "You..." Ling Wu Shuang felt a bit helpless, struggling to move, this man actually knew what she was thinking.

  "Didn't you want to know why I came here?" Ling Wu Shuang struggled in vain, hearing the man's words, and raised his eyes in surprise, meeting a pair of sharp and dark pupils.

  Does he mean to tell her?

  Lou Jun Yan let out a low laugh, his strong arm grasping the woman's slender and soft waist, the slightly raised corners of his lips indicating that he seemed to be in a good mood. His body swayed slightly, and in the dark room of the An Lou building, a black light flashed, and the two disappeared from their original location.

  In the dark sky to the east, a black horn flashed, like a meteor streaking across.

  The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

  The forest of sunset under the dark night, far away, it's a vast expanse of blackness, like a jet-black mushroom cloud, as if it might burst open at any moment, impossible to see through or penetrate, filled with an air of mystery and danger.

  The loud roars of the mysterious beasts, the strange and inexplicable cries, seemed to come from the distant horizon, under the dark ink sky, the twinkling stars, like a pair of eyes, gazing at this world, making people's hair stand on end.

  "Whoosh——"

  Ancient trees that stretch to the sky suddenly rise from the ground, their shadows swaying in the wind and making a rustling sound. In the high air, a black arrow flashes by at an incredible speed, so fast it seems like an illusion.

  "Huh?"

  Behind Lou Junyan, a pair of black wings with a span of several meters unfolded, the feathers were real, almost making people think that they would be soft to the touch. However, the outline of the wings was like a shadow, appearing and disappearing in the dark night.

  Ling Wushuang was enveloped in Lou Junyan's arms, her feet treading on air, her delicate body tightly pressed against his chest.

  "Ling Wu Shuang muttered to himself, his eyes involuntarily lifted, and what entered his sight was the elegant curve of his chin. Even in the midst of a sunset forest filled with various dangers, Ling Wu Shuang's heart couldn't help but surge with a sense of safety."

  However, Ling Wu Xiong's lips curled up slightly, thinking that it made sense - what kind of mysterious beast could be more terrifying than the killing god beside him?

  "What's on your mind, little one?" Just as he was lost in thought, a low, gentle laugh sounded beside his ear.

  "Nothing much." Ling Wu Xuan responded reflexively with a faint tone, and when he raised his eyes, he inadvertently fell into a pair of dark red eyes.

  That breathtaking color, that one-of-a-kind hue, seems to emerge from the endless darkness with a dark glow that's addicted to blood, making people infatuated, infatuated, until they are forever lost.

  Ling Wushuang's cherry lips pursed slightly, her eyes averted somewhat awkwardly. Yet the scene before her made her pupils constrict, and she couldn't help but think that such a place actually existed in the forest at sunset.

  With feet treading on emptiness, leaning forward and looking out, even in the darkness of night, the field of vision is still very broad.

  Surrounded by mountains, ancient trees with vines entwined, luxuriant and dense, like devout followers, thronging around the center, a lake hundreds of meters wide, with rounded edges, like a reclining sun, the sky is pitch black, the clear light of the moon shines down, a crescent moon hangs upside down on the lake surface, the gentle breeze blows by, ripples spread out, like fish scales shimmering.

  On the lake surface, some rocky things emerged, covered with various plants. Under the moonlight, a thin layer of fog enveloped them, but they could still be vaguely seen as a patch of greenery. At first glance, it seemed like small islands in the lake.

  High up in the air, the lake wind was strong and blowing fiercely, causing Ling's double strands of hair to become slightly disheveled. A dangerous and ancient mysterious aura came rushing forward to meet him head-on.

  "Sun and Moon Divine Spring!"

  This must be the very center of Luoshen Forest, Riyuetan!

  Unbeknownst to her, she had arrived at this place. Ling Wu Shuang looked around and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. In the heart of the Sunset Forest, it was said that even peak gods would not be able to escape unscathed if they were careless, and their corpses would be left behind.

  "That's right, this is the center of Luoshen Forest, Riyuetianquan." In the high sky, Lou Junyan's crimson hair danced wildly in the wind, exuding an aura of dominance and tyranny.

  The man's slightly cold voice somehow calmed Ling Wusuo down, and he casually asked, "Are you looking for something?"

  Although it was a questioning sentence, Ling Wu Xiang said it with great certainty. Moreover, what he was searching for must be in the Forest of Sunset; otherwise, she wouldn't have met him here twice.

  Lou Junyan lowered his eyebrows and glanced at her, chuckling softly. Behind him, a black feather flashed, and a huge pair of black wings appeared, disappearing into the wind in an instant. The next second, Ling Wushuang's feet landed on the green grass by the lake.

  The lake breeze is gentle, carrying the tender grass's fragrance, coming straight at you. The surroundings are quiet to the point of being eerie, as if even insects and birds are absent.

  "Perhaps it's not just me who is searching." Lou Junyan walked to the lake with his hands behind his back and said this.

  Ling Wushuang gazed at his slender back, her eyebrows slightly twitching as she stepped forward in a gentle pace, and naturally asked, "What is it that you're looking for?"

  In Ling Wusong's astonished gaze, Lou Junyan grasped her wrist. With a flick of the Qingyun ancient bangle, an ancient black cauldron suddenly appeared before their eyes. On its body, various mysterious and ancient patterns emerged.

  "Shennong Ding......" Ling Wusuo was somewhat perplexed, what did he summon this thing for.

  "This is one of them" Lou Junyan's voice was slightly low, facing the lake breeze, and after a long time, he began to say: "In the ancient Hongmeng, at the beginning of chaos, heaven and earth gave birth to seven great treasures, three great supreme treasures, four great Hongmeng spiritual treasures, collectively known as the Seven Treasures of Hongmeng"

  "Hongmeng Seven Treasures..." Ling Wusuo muttered to himself.

  "Yes, the ancient tree of life that has taken root in your body, with its thousand-mile-long vines, is one of the three supreme treasures. " Lou Junyan raised his hand and beckoned, drawing the dark, giant cauldron into Ling Wusuo's Qingyun Ancient Ring. He continued, "And this Cauldron of the Primordial Chaos, transformed from the primordial energy, is one of the four great spiritual treasures."

  Ling Wushuang listened to Lou Junyan's magnetic and enchanting voice, her eyebrows furrowed in deep thought, as if a grand and ancient painting was slowly unfolding in her mind.

  Lou Junyan stopped, Ling Wushuang couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are the other few things?"

  Lou Junyan looked at Ling Wushuang with a hint of indulgence in his eyes, "Hanyu Quan, Qianli Qitian, Suo Shentower, Shen Nongding, Jiaxuan Wall, Suihou Pearl, any one of these can cause a great sensation."

  Ling Wushuang furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, counted again, and then asked in confusion: "Isn't it seven pieces? There are only six here."

  Moreover, in the hands of this unknown young woman, there were actually two!

  No wonder she felt a connection between the Chi Li and the Thousand Mile Tongue, Ling Wu's eyes dimly glanced at the black-robed man beside her, her cherry-red lips moved slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "It's indeed seven pieces" Lou Junyan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing far away, and said in a low voice: "However, that one supreme treasure, no one has ever seen it, and rumor has it, it hides an earth-shocking secret."

  Ling Wu's mind immediately cleared up, "You're looking for it?"

  Looking at Lou Junyan's expression, this thing is very likely to be around Riyuetan.

  Lou Junyan chuckled softly and turned to gaze at the woman's delicate features, his tone slightly changing. "These are still far off for you; your current strength is simply too weak."

  Too weak. These two words slipped out of Lou Junyan's mouth, but Ling Wushuang couldn't get angry no matter what. She pouted slightly, with her strength, would she still let him bully her?

  Watching Ling Wusuo's subtle movements, amidst the coldness, there was a hint of playfulness, and Lou Junyan's mood suddenly improved, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Uninhibited laughter echoes in the darkness of night, lingering on and on.

  Although he didn't know what he was laughing at, Ling Wushuang still automatically ignored him and continued to ask: "What's the use of these treasures?"

  "Hongmeng's seven treasures, containing shocking secrets, and they are all rare and precious treasures. The power of a thousand li and a thousand tiao, you understand it best." Lou Junyan smiled slightly, gazing at the woman in front of him, explaining: "For example, the Lock God Tower, legend has it that inside is an endless space, capable of locking up countless gods, demons, and monsters. Now it's fallen into the boundless blood sea region."

  Ling Wushuang was shocked beyond measure. The power of the Hongmeng Treasure was indeed terrifying. The two things in her hand, she feared were only a glimpse of its power.

  However, her strength is still too weak, and the power she can exert is naturally limited.

  Ling Wushuang didn't think much about it and continued to ask: "Then have you found a specific location?"

  Judging from his expression, it seemed that the only supreme treasure was still unknown to him, but a few days ago when Jian Nu and Yun Chen returned, she happened to be present, and there seemed to be some clues.

  "No, but this Riyuetan is very suspicious"

  Lou Junyan's answer, however, made Ling Wusuo somewhat unexpected. After that, she nodded thoughtfully and left. She was lucky to have stumbled upon it; if not for Xiaojiu, she wouldn't have discovered Qianli Qianteng so easily.

  "Wait a minute..." Ling Wusuo suddenly raised his hand, and his eyes condensed for an instant. "I think I..."

  As they spoke, the thousand-mile-long vines rooted in Ling Wusuo's body rapidly circulated, and his heart, entwined by jade-green vines like spider silk, seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, moving suddenly.

  Ling Wusuo muttered to himself: "I seem to have... sensed something"

  This feeling is just like the thousand-mile fragrance of Tiantai Peak and the aura of Shennong Ding connecting together!

  Lou Junyan's thin lips were pursed into a elegant arc, his slender figure standing by the lake, lightly clasping his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at Ling Wushuang's slightly furrowed brow.

  "Lost." Ling Wu Xuan slightly regretfully tilted his head to the side, and took a few more steps towards the lake. The breath he had just sensed suddenly disappeared without a trace.

  Damn it, she seems not strong enough!

  Lou Junyan smiled slightly, seemingly not too disappointed, "It's okay"

  He didn't come down here just for this thing, and it may not even be in this place.

  Two figures stood quietly by the lake, one tall and large, the other delicate and small, one in pure white, the other in jet black.

  Ling Wushuang's lips moved slightly as she thought for a long time before finally asking, "Shennong Ding... what did you do to me?"

  Considering this situation, these things are not only precious for Lou Junyan, but also for their mysterious region. He actually gave them to her so casually.

  "Do I need to say it again?" Lou Junyan turned around, lowered his eyes, and locked onto Ling Wusuo's gaze with a hint of a smile, saying: "Or perhaps..."

  Ling Wushuang suddenly remembered the man's sudden attack, and her mouth twitched slightly as she involuntarily took a step back. However, this only earned her a soft laugh from Lou Junyan, who in the next instant pulled her into his arms without any surprise.

  His arm stretched across her waist, the man's refreshing breath instantly filled Ling Wu Shuang's entire chest cavity.

  Ling Wushuang couldn't help but admit that despite his overbearing and tyrannical ways, except for the initial hint of wariness, she didn't dislike this man's touch.

  In her past life, from childhood to adulthood, she only had endless tasks. In this life, she has cherished family relationships and rare friendships, and the feeling in front of her now... seems like love, and it feels pretty good.

  At this thought, Ling Wushuang suddenly raised her eyes, "Are you telling the truth?"

  It seemed that he hadn't expected her to suddenly say something like this, and his eyes met the clear and transparent gaze of the woman in his arms, Lou Junyan's handsome eyes slightly raised, could this be fake?

  "That's good" Ling Wu Xiang smiled slyly, suddenly raised her hand, and with a slender arm, hooked Lou Jun Yan's neck and pulled him in. Her soft lips covered his slightly cool thin lips, biting down hard before separating.

  She was forced by him once, she must force back!

  This feeling... is not bad.

  At the moment when their lips parted, Lou Junyan was taken aback, looking at the woman in front of him with a sly and cunning gaze, he slightly hesitated.

  He... was kissed by this little guy?

  "Little guy, big guts"

  Lou Junyan was taken aback by the girl's sparkling eyes, her unyielding spirit, and the way she raised an eyebrow at him in provocation, evoking a surge of unprecedented emotions within him. Suddenly, Lou Junyan threw back his head and laughed loudly.

  That's right! That's exactly how it feels!

  In the sky above the forest of sunset, in a fleeting glance, four words flashed through his mind for no reason, it was her.

  "Huh......" Ling Wu Shuang stared at the man in front of him, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across the lake surface, and after a slight pause, he quickly scanned back, suddenly opening his eyes wide, and his tongue was almost tied up, "This is..."

  She didn't see it wrong?

  Ling Wushuang even exaggeratedly rubbed her eyes, what did she see? She actually saw on the rocky reef in the lake, densely packed, blooming with dozens of double-headed lotus flowers!

  A stem of lotus, divided into two branches, blue lotus flowers blooming, twin-born and intertwined. She didn't mistake it, not ordinary spirit flower blue lotus, one by one, cluster by cluster, all are twin-born and intertwined lotus!

  The moonlight pours down, and the reefs several feet away from the lake seem to be only the size of a bed, blue and shiny, releasing intoxicating fragrance. The green grass is lush on the side, and many have withered completely.

  Ling Wu was instantly attracted by the twin lotus flowers not far away, and exclaimed: "In the heart of the Forest of Sunset, spiritual treasures indeed gather."

  No wonder some people are desperate to get in, in the central region, a double-blooming lotus flower can provoke two sacred beasts from the holy domain to fight each other, and on the surface of the Sun Moon Divine Pool, it's as if they're wildflowers, blooming everywhere!

  Looking at Ling Wu Shuang's eyes, Lou Jun Yan couldn't help but laugh, "If you want these things, I can give you a piece, it's much better than those wild flowers, how many do you want?"

  Ling Wushuang's mouth twitched slightly as he listened, no wonder that day he said 'just for this one flower', such a large patch of spiritual grass was invisible to him, where did this nouveau riche come from.

  Now, the ubiquitous spiritual grass, Ling Wu Shuang didn't care about that much anymore. He gave him a faint glance, his slender legs made a light kick, and with several agile flips in the air, he landed on a rocky outcropping in the lake, staring at the sparkling blue expanse before him, his eyes shining brightly.

  Alright, in his eyes, this is nothing, but for her, these are all precious treasures!

  "How hateful, at least half of them have withered away" Looking at the withered ones beside me, my heart is bleeding, blooming here without anyone noticing, I don't know how much has been wasted, it's really a waste of heaven's gift.

  On the rocky reef, withered and blooming, cycling back and forth, the freshest twin lotus flowers, only a dozen or so, seem to have just bloomed, most are still buds, half open.

  "Blazing Blossom..." Ling Wu Xiong was just about to pick some when his attention was drawn away by several scarlet ones beside it.

  Flowers resembling a rooster's crest, extremely delicate and beautiful, all are good things. The things on this reef, even the most ordinary grass, are all highly medicinal spiritual herbs.

  Ling Wushuang chuckled mischievously, constantly jumping and weaving between the rocks in the lake. Wherever her hands swept, not a single blade of grass grew... With a flick of her wrist, she stored it away in her ancient jade bangle.

  Lou Junyan smiled lightly, his slender figure standing on the shore with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling gently on the small figure in the distance. The Shen Nong Ding could only be effective in this little guy's hands.

  Suddenly, Ling Wu Xiang's back chilled and she keenly sensed a very dangerous aura rapidly approaching her. She had collected various heavenly treasures and was now far away from the lake shore, almost at the center of the lake!

  "Boom——"

  Between lightning and flint, beside the reef in the water, like boiling water, a huge wave suddenly surged up and rushed into the sky!

  "Boom!"

  A gigantic skull emerged from the water surface, with a pair of jet-black antlers like those of a domesticated reindeer, and a body like a snake's, several times thicker than that of a giant python, its entire body covered in colorful scales.

  A sturdy body, constantly lifting out of the water's surface, seemingly endless, dragon head deer antlers, between the nose, also growing two roots of dragon whisker-like things, huge purple eyes like a lantern, with a fierce glint, human!

  The skull lifted out of the water, almost without any pause, and the sharp horns, like two giant swords, charged towards Ling Wusuo!

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

  Again two loud sounds, the water boiled, beside, another two huge heads lifted out of the water surface, exactly the same, snake body dragon head, three deer horns.

  Divine Dark Beast, Three-Headed Jiaolong!

  "Ahh——"

  Ling Wu's eyes widened in shock, her heart racing with fear. However, her reaction was also extremely quick, and the flames on her back reflexively flared up, allowing her to retreat instantly and avoid its first attack.

  "Damn beast!" A cold and stern voice suddenly came with the night wind.

  A sharp black blade hacked at the massive body of the three-headed python, almost cutting off its head, purple-black blood splashing instantly, dyeing a patch of water red.

  Then, Ling Wushuang's waist tightened, and in the next instant, she fell into Lou Junyan's arms. Even through the delicate black robe, she could vaguely feel his irregularly beating fiery heat.

  "Abomination!" Lou Junyan's eyes turned icy cold as he held Ling Wusuo, his entire being exuding an aura like a thousand years of frozen ice.

  Musashi almost got hurt by him!

  "Waaaah——"

  Three identical gigantic skulls completely lifted out of the water, a fierce bellow like that of a savage ox, spread throughout the forest at sunset, and the various mysterious beasts all trembled with fear.

  "Waaaah——"

  Three-headed python has reached the level of divine beast, although it cannot speak human language, its intelligence is in no way inferior to that of humans. It can be said that it dominates the forest at sunset without exaggeration. However, upon seeing the man in front of him, feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from his body, the purple-black giant pupils suddenly revealed a look of shock.

  It's impossible! In this world, it's actually impossible for such an existence to be possible!

  "You beast, are you looking for death!" Lou Junyan stretched out his hand, a cold shout, his wrist flipped over, and he casually threw out an attack.

  A huge ball of light exploded on the lake surface, splashing up dozens of meters high waves.

  "Woof"

  Three huge skulls simultaneously let out a dull bellow, but upon closer listening, there was a hint of desolation.

  Ling Wushuang thought that the enraged San Shou Jiao would attack them, but unexpectedly, after a heaven-shaking roar, the three heads suddenly and swiftly plunged into the lake, their speed was even faster than a loach!

  "This..." Ling Wu Shuang was left speechless, once again feeling the gap in strength between her and Lou Jun Yan.

  "Boom! Boom boom!"

  In the midst of Riyuetan, the three Jiaos were extremely familiar with this region and their speed in escaping was breathtaking.

  After a loud rumble, the lake surface returned to calmness, but it was no longer as clear as before. This area of water had turned dark red, like bright red ink, and in the air, there was also a bloody aura that lingered.

  Lou Junyan faintly withdrew his hand, and his sharp eyes scanned the lake surface as if he could see through it. After a moment, his slender eyebrows moved slightly, and he actually let it go.

  Ling Wushuang gazed at the blood-stained lake surface, muttering: "The Forest of Sunset, there really is a divine beast"

  The danger of the Forest of Sunset was not exaggerated, if she didn't have this great Buddha by her side, entering alone would only lead to being chased and fleeing for her life. One careless move, and she might even be eaten to the bone.

  But what shocked her even more was not this.

  If compared, Lou Jun's strength is equivalent to that of a top-tier divine beast in the Xuanwu realm, yet even the three-headed Jiaolong, who ruled over the Luori Forest, a divine beast of this level, feared him.

  There can only be one explanation, his strength is absolutely not just that of a peak god!

  "Hiss——Whoosh——"

  Ling Wushuang was lost in thought when a fiery glow suddenly appeared in the distance, like a phoenix rising into the sky, leaving behind a trail of smoke and flames that seemed to be a special signal.

  Lou Jingyan's eyes slightly dimmed as he wrapped his arms around Ling Wusuo's waist, and with a flash of movement, they vanished into the sky above Riyue Shentan.

  "Your Highness!" The merchants of the world, in the dark building, saw Lord Lou return, and Jian Nu and Yun Chen quickly went to greet him.

  Yun Chen quickly stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, our people in Xilang State have found the qin (zither) of Tianyin Valley and the traces of several Taishang elders."

  The white-haired Guqin player from Tianyin Valley has also arrived, could it be that she is searching for the Emperor's whereabouts? The Emperor is severely injured and cannot afford to linger, it seems returning to Zhuri Peak is urgent.

  The grand hall of the Ling family was brightly lit, but only two people sat there, Ling Qingtian and Ling Moqiu, one above and one below, facing each other in silence, their expressions seemingly filled with worry.

  Ling Wushuang returned at this time and saw this scene.

  "Grandpa, Fourth Uncle?"

  At the sound of Ling Wu's low call, Ling Qingtian quickly came back to his senses and hastily looked over in response.

  "Are you alright, Wú Shuāng?" Ling Mò Qiū was even more anxious, and in a few steps, he rushed to the front of Ling Wú Shuāng, looking her up and down, and only when he saw that she was not seriously injured did he let out a sigh of relief.

  Ling Wushuang also looked himself up and down a few times, feeling somewhat inexplicable. "I'm fine."

  Ling Tianyun stood up from his seat, his tense face finally showing some improvement. However, the slightly graying eyebrows were still furrowed into a川character, and his tone was filled with worry as he asked, "Wu Shuang, did you meet someone from the Holy Temple at the Heavenly Merchants' Guild today?"

  Why would people from the temple come to Donglin for no reason, and there's more than one of them.

  Ling Wushuang suddenly came to a realization, pursed his lips and nodded in response: "That's right, the Poison Saint Bai Zhutian of the Holy Temple, as well as the Holy Maiden Shuixian'er, should both be in Donglin by now."

  "Is he really a Saint Hall person?" Ling Moqiu took in a breath of cold air, his expression seemingly dazed, and then muttered to himself, "I don't know which great expert came to the rescue."

  A few hours ago, the young master of the Ji family sent someone to confirm whether Wú Suì had returned to the Líng family, and that was when they found out about this matter.

  Unexpectedly, the Holy Hall made a move so quickly. If it weren't for that mysterious figure secretly protecting him today, Wu Shuang would have been in danger. Now that he's back safely, he can finally put his mind at ease.

  However, Musashi had never met such a superior person before, and it is said that his abilities surpassed those of Ten'nyo no Kumo.

  "Peerless...!" Old Man Ling seemed to have thought of this too, stroking his beard with one hand, and leaning in front of Little Sun, asking with a smile: "I wonder who it was that lent you a helping hand?"

  The person sent by the young master of the Ji family said that it seemed like a young man's voice, that peerless one...

  "Hmm..." Ling Wu Xiang gazed at the old man's somewhat suspicious smile, his face slightly darkening. After a long while, he looked as if he had suddenly realized something and slowly nodded his head, "He is... my... Master."

  "Cough—" In the dark room of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, a certain black-robed man let out a low cough, his eyebrows slightly furrowed in discomfort.

  "Your Majesty, has your injury relapsed?" In front of him, several elderly figures' silhouettes simultaneously revealed worried emotions.

  Lou Junyan waved his hand and said coldly, "Never mind, continue reporting."

  Ling Moqiu looked at Ling Wushuang with a puzzled expression, "Your master?"

  The legendary teacher isn't Tianye Yun, is he? When did another such formidable master appear, and how could he know nothing about it?

  Mr. Ling stroked his beard thoughtfully and murmured cautiously, "So that's how it is."

  No wonder the change was so great in this period of time, originally a useless body, suddenly able to cultivate Xuanli, and showing such terrifying talent, it turned out that there were high-ranking people guiding secretly.

  That makes sense then.

  "Dad, are you saying......?" Ling Moqiu and Old Master exchanged a glance, and suddenly understood.

  Ling Wushuang lowered her head, somewhat embarrassedly rubbing the tip of Congbai's nose, Lou Junyan's identity was too special, and now she really didn't know how to explain it, so she could only muddle through.

  Ling Wushuang didn't expect that her accidental mistake would make the two old men deeply believe in it, thinking that during this period of time, she suddenly changed her personality greatly, and there must be a high-ranking person secretly guiding her.

  Ling Er Tian nodded slowly, his expression becoming much more cautious in an instant. "I don't know which great master your teacher is."

  If so, he should personally thank Ling's family for their great kindness.

  Ling Wusuo coughed softly, seeing the old man seemed to have a tendency to dig deeper, and since he had already spoken, he could only continue with a stiff upper lip: "Shifu has always been low-key and his name is not known to the world, nor does he like to be disturbed, so..."

  "It turned out to be a recluse who was hiding his identity, so it's not convenient to disturb him." Ling Moqiu nodded, and an image of a long-bearded old man with an otherworldly aura appeared in his mind.

  This world is vast, and there are many reclusive hermits who keep a low profile. It's truly a blessing from heaven that Wudang can have such an opportunity.

  "Good, good!" Old Man Ling slapped his thigh with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, throwing back his head to laugh heartily. With such a formidable master like him, even people from the Holy Temple would have to think twice before trying to bully Wudang!

  Wu Shuang smiled and naturally changed the subject, "By the way, Grandpa, this is for you"

  Ling Wusuo raised his hand and took out two small flowers, holding them in his hands and presenting them to the two people before him.

  Palm-sized flowers, blue and shiny, with stems carved like jade, very beautiful under the dim light.

  "Blue lotus? This is a good thing......" Ling Moqiu stared at the thing in Ling Wushuang's hand, nodded and smiled, but then his mouth stiffened, "No...that's not right..."

  Ling Mo Qiu looked back and forth for half a day, his gaze falling on the root of the plant, almost jumping up in surprise, suddenly exclaiming: "It's a twin lotus, it's actually a twin lotus!"

  "Double lotus with connected stems?" Old Man Ling hastily moved forward, took a closer look, and only then discovered that one stem had two flowers, double birth with connected stems!

  The old man muttered incredulously, "It really exists"

  This is a treasure that rivals the sacred fruit, and this little girl has two of them. First, there's the sacred fruit, and then there are the twin lotus flowers. Where did she get so many treasures from?

  Ling Wushuang smiled and urged, "This is a good thing, it was just picked not long ago. Grandfather and Fourth Uncle can each have one, hurry up and try the effect."

  Twin lotus flowers, mild in effect, can be taken directly, last time I picked one and she swallowed more than half of it alone, her cultivation soared a lot, the rest was used to refine pills, this time I picked a dozen or so, which will come in handy.

  Good

  Ling Lao Ye Zi picked one, pinched it in his hand and measured it for a while, opened his mouth to hold it in, the blue petals were like thin ice, quickly opening up in his mouth, a refreshing feeling, like a sweet spring, slowly washing away the meridians of his whole body, Ling Tian's entire body felt comfortable and clear-minded, several times more than before!

  "The effect of this flower is so mysterious" Ling Moqiu sighed, while his mouth occasionally spat out mist-like things, and his entire skeleton seemed to be creaking, his whole body's aura was fluctuating between yellow and green.

  "Mo Qiu!?" The old man's eyes widened in surprise and delight at this turn of events.

  Ling Moqiu also felt the abnormality in his body, and he suddenly clenched his fists, staring at the dazed yellow-green mysterious energy, then suddenly swung his sleeves, without even saying a word, turned around and left with big strides, his footsteps urgent and his face radiant.

  Ling Wushuang was overjoyed in his heart, "Fourth Uncle is about to break through!"

  After this period of time, she used the purple bamboo divine needle to open up the meridians, and Fourth Uncle's dantian had basically recovered. Moreover, his decades of accumulated Xuanli had not relaxed in the slightest, and he had also taken Sacred Fruit and Sacred Product Dan medicine. Now that he had taken the paired lotus, he immediately had a breakthrough!

  Mr. Ling gazed at the distant back of Ling Moqiu, stroking his beard with a pleased smile, "Yes indeed"

  Mo Qiu will definitely break through to the Holy Rank this time after his closed-door training!

  "By the way, Wudang, in half a month it will be the Emperor's birthday, and today I have sent an invitation to the Ling family." Ling Qingtian looked somewhat embarrassed. He had to give the Emperor some face, but whether or not Wudang would go depended on her own wishes.

  "Nan Gong Qi's birthday?"

  "Hmm" Old Master Ling nodded, "Fifty years of age is a big milestone, the Imperial Family will probably make a big fuss about it. All four nations in the world will send people to congratulate him, and the Sacred Hall should also take this opportunity to make some moves."

  The royal family's attitude towards the Ling family was ambiguous, and now Nan Gong Yan's attitude towards Wu Shuang was even more puzzling to him...

  "It was the Seventh Prince himself who delivered it personally" Old Man Ling stroked his beard, wanting to speak but hesitating, "Wu Shuang... this Nan Gong Yan"

  Nan Gong Ye used to bully Wu Shuang so much, if not for Wu Shuang secretly protecting him, he would have probably lost his temper and killed Nan Gong Ye several times already. But now, he can see that Wu Shuang doesn't care about Nan Gong Ye at all.

  As for this marriage, as a grandfather, he would have to promote it no matter what, but in the imperial family, it might not be easy to handle...

  The Ling family was originally the largest Xuan Master household in the Eastern Continent, and now that the master has broken through to the Saint stage, the royal family is eager to curry favor with them. With Ling Wu's astonishing talent on display, this engagement will definitely not be easily dissolved.

  Ling Wushuang smiled lightly and said, "Grandfather, you don't have to think too much about this matter."

  Last time's bill, she hasn't settled with Nangong Yan yet. The royal family had best not harbor any ideas about the Ling family.

  She said that no one can outsmart her and still remain unscathed!

  Digression

  I'm going to die, today's classes are full, but I finally managed to finish writing it after struggling.
