Chapter 393 Your Master is Dying

The emperor said calmly, "Minister Yu."

Yu Zhiyi nodded slightly: "What is the matter that Your Majesty summoned me for?"

Before the emperor could speak, the empress dowager scoffed, "What reason does the emperor need to summon a minister?"

Yu Zhiyi remained silent, and the emperor smiled: "I have just established a National Preceptor's Office. From this day forward, Master Qingfeng will serve as the National Preceptor of my Great Sheng Empire."

Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.

The business she didn't take over back then has now been taken over by someone else?

She slowly looked at Qingfeng Zhenren, staring directly into his eyes.

Master Qingfeng sat upright, his expression aloof and cold, and did not look at Yu Zhiyi again.

"May I ask, Master Qingfeng, who your master is?"

Master Qingfeng was indifferent.

A woman's voice rang out: "Lord Yu is extremely rude. You always introduce yourself. Who interrogates someone about their teacher?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yu Zhiyi's brow twitched.

You Bingyue.

A woman with a dignified and flamboyant appearance stood beside Master Qingfeng, smiling as she looked at Yu Zhiyi.

Yu Zhiyi's pretty face darkened slightly.

It turns out that You Bingyue's backer is Master Qingfeng.

This Qingfeng Zhenren's strength is unfathomable; no wonder You Bingyue was able to obtain the teleportation talisman.

No wonder she dared to jump around on Mingshan Mountain.

This new backer is much more powerful than Ouyang Shuo.

Seeing that Yu Zhiyi hesitated and did not speak, You Bingyue assumed that she was afraid, and felt a sense of satisfaction.

For the past six months, whenever she encountered Yu Zhiyi, she would inexplicably lose.

They lost badly.

Accustomed to her pride, she couldn't accept it.

However, Yu Zhiyi is a master of metaphysics, and although You Bingyue is proficient in killing techniques, the prerequisite is that she can get close to the other party or touch the other party's body.

Especially diet.

Unfortunately, she couldn't meet either of those conditions.

Yu Zhiyi is always surrounded by a defensive shield, so any attack she launches will be reflected back.

In the end, she will turn her anger on herself.

Poisoning is out of the question, since Yu Zhiyi hardly eats when she's outside.

You Bingyue even suspected that this woman never ate or drank.

Yu Bingyue felt utterly defeated when her most prized skills seemed as insignificant as ants in front of her opponent.

Now, she can finally hold her head high.

Although it wasn't her who caused Yu Zhiyi to suffer a setback, the other party was her friend.

This feeling of borrowing someone else's power is quite nice.

Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "Miss You is right. How can you force someone to introduce themselves before they have even introduced themselves? I was being impolite."

She looked at Master Qingfeng and bowed with the gesture of a esoteric master: "I am Yu Zhiyi, the 128th generation lay disciple of the Tianji Sect."

Master Qingfeng's expression finally shifted: "You're actually from the Heavenly Mystery Sect?"

Yu Zhiyi felt a little uneasy when she mentioned the Heavenly Mystery Sect.

It wasn't that he was worried his sect was too weak for the other party to have heard of, but rather that he was worried that his status as a lay disciple was untenable.

After all, apart from the tokens left by his senior brothers, the master didn't leave behind any other significant symbols.

I didn't expect the other party to actually believe it?

That's quite unusual.

Yu Zhiyi was unaware that the Heavenly Mystery Sect was exhibiting a two-tiered state within the Hidden Realm.

I've never heard of someone with such low cultivation level or from such a bad sect.

Only the most powerful forces know this.

Therefore, if Yu Zhiyi were to use the names of some minor sects to exaggerate her abilities, Master Qingfeng might become suspicious.

But she used the Tianji Sect, a sect that only the very top group of people had ever heard of. In addition, he had heard You Bingyue say that Yu Zhiyi was good at reading fortunes.

That's why he didn't suspect anything.

However, not having doubts is one thing.

He doesn't respect it.

You Bingyue, however, did not feel well.

She had just thought that Yu Zhiyi couldn't cause any trouble, but she didn't expect that Master Qingfeng would change his attitude after Yu Zhiyi revealed her family background.

Could it be that the Tianji Sect is some kind of powerful sect?

She couldn't help but clench her fists.

This is the flaw that led her to travel through time halfway through her journey.

While others can start working hard from the womb, she can only take over the first ten years or so of someone else's miserable life.

He lacked connections, physical strength, and ability.

She has to do everything herself.

Yu Bingyue was completely unaware that her mindset had become slightly distorted and she had fallen into a strange logic.

She felt that God had been unfair to her, but she never expected that she had already died in the modern world and was now essentially living a second life.

This is a gift from heaven, a blessing and opportunity that others can only dream of.

As for the bad identity I had when I transmigrated.

Her background wasn't good, and Yu Zhiyi wasn't exactly doing any better.

The daughter of the Second Master of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the adopted daughter of the former Minister of Revenue—that's a pretty impressive identity.

However, she was taken away from her parents by villains when she was young, and was ignored, suppressed by the real daughter, and bullied by the servants when she was in the Minister's mansion.

At that time, she was just a ten-year-old girl.

This situation is far worse than when You Bingyue transmigrated.

God is fair.

They disregard everyone fairly, coldly watching the people struggle in despair.

Whether you can climb out of the quagmire depends entirely on yourself.

Whether or not it blossoms depends on itself.

“That’s right, my master is Master Zichan.”

Thank goodness, although her master left nothing behind when he passed away, he did tell Yu Zhiyi her title.

The Empress Dowager clenched her pampered hands.

Real person.

Although the imperial court and Longhu Mountain did not have close ties, they still knew some things.

For example, those who are called "real people" are all powerful beings capable of flying on swords.

Rather than calling him a "real person," he is more like a golden immortal.

Yu Zhiyi's master was actually a Golden Immortal?

That would be troublesome.

Just then, he heard Qingfeng Zhenren sneer: "Zichan Zhenren? That Zichan Zhenren who is nearing the end of his lifespan?"

Yu Zhiyi felt as if something had clenched her heart tightly.

End of life?

Is this why the master left in such a hurry?

She was unhappy, but others were happy.

You Bingyue almost burst out laughing, thinking that the other party could invite a great figure.

I never expected him to be an old man who was about to die.

However, a regretful expression appeared on his face: "Is Lord Yu's master's lifespan coming to an end?"

The Empress Dowager's tense emotions also relaxed.

The emperor asked curiously, "How did Master Qingfeng know this?"

Good question.

Yu Zhiyi also wanted to ask.

She had no idea that her master was about to die.

But this suddenly appearing Qingfeng Zhenren knew?

Master Qingfeng glanced at Yu Zhiyi with disdain, seemingly offering her a helpful explanation, but in reality, he was explaining things to the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

"The fact that Master Zichan's lifespan is coming to an end is not a secret among those in the Hidden Realm. A master in the Golden Core Realm has a lifespan of five hundred years. If he cannot break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of five hundred, he will perish in that year."

“Master Zichan is already 478 years old, and only has more than 20 years left to live.”

"She left the Tianji Sect more than ten years ago, reportedly to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough."

"Now, more than a decade has passed, and she still hasn't gone back. She probably understands that there's no hope of breaking through and wants to find a mountain to sit and die."

Yu Zhiyi tightened her grip.

This was a secret she was unaware of.
