Seeing this, Shu Jianyue said, "If you tell me the reason, I will consider persuading him not to tell."

She just wanted to know why she had run away from her master, judging from what Chong Jiu had said—and it had happened more than once or twice.

Bai Shai glanced back at her and shook his head, "No."

Why would she tell her secret to a complete stranger? She's not out of her mind.

As if she could read her mind, Shu Jianyue got up, walked to her side, set up a formation, and whispered, "Oh, it'll feel better to get some bitterness out."

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere where there's no one else around, and we'll talk quietly."

"If it's Sanskrit's fault, I'll help you hide your whereabouts."

Bai was almost persuaded by her. He stared at her intently for a while before asking, "Really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Shu Jianyue said, pulling Bai Shai away from the main hall.

Chong Jiu smiled and shook his head, then waved for them to disperse.

Wei Sheng Nan Lan stayed behind and recounted what had happened at the Spirit Beast Sect before taking his leave and departing from the Zhong family ancestral home.

He hadn't gone far when he saw Zhong Ranxin, the head of the Zhong family, waving at him from the tavern diagonally opposite.

Wei Sheng Nan Lan wasn't stupid; she naturally knew why he was looking for her. Considering that the Zhong family had already given up their ancestral home, she walked straight over.

From the slightly open window of the building diagonally opposite, Gong Chengying took in everything.

He has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the deity, but to no avail.

It is clear that Wei Sheng Nan Lan's departure from the Zhong family and her meeting with Zhong Ran Xin aroused his suspicion.

Since Wei Sheng Nan Lan is working for the God, why is she still so close to the Zhong family?

The Zhong family are loyal to God Venerable Jiuze. Although it is not common knowledge that God Venerable Jiuze and God Venerable Lanqiu are at odds, those who follow God Venerable Lanqiu know that he is playing the role of a fence-sitter.

Gong Chengying felt she had found something to hold against Wei Shengnanlan, and a ruthless look appeared on her face.

Wei Sheng Nan Lan had no idea that her unintentional moment of weakness almost exposed her heavy moxibustion technique.

Zhong Ranxin didn't have anything else to ask him; she just wanted to know if Chong Jiu and the others were comfortable living there, whether they needed someone to take care of them, and if there was anything that needed to be changed.

Wei Sheng Nan Lan looked at Zhong Ran Xin in front of her and asked, "Why don't you go and ask the God himself?"

Zhong Ran's expression darkened slightly. "Our Zhong family failed to protect the Jiuze Temple for the God, and we are ashamed to appear before the God."

Moreover, after Zhong Yuxi returned and told him some things, he was even more ashamed to face the God.

Wei Sheng Nanlan shook her head and said, "Since the God is willing to live in the Zhong family, it means he doesn't mind. Why do you have to do this?"

"The Divine Lord is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong; he understands the difficulties your Zhong family faces."

"So, if there's anything, you should go find the Divine Lord yourself. I shouldn't have too much contact with your Zhong family right now, so don't bother me again unless it's absolutely necessary."

After saying that, Wei Sheng Nan Lan got up and left. He had no idea that Gong Cheng Ying had already witnessed him meeting with Zhong Ran Xin.

Zhong Ran thought about it again and again, but still couldn't muster the courage to knock on her own door.

After listening to Bai Tan's explanation, Shu Jianyue felt a huge surge of excitement.

This is a big deal! Luckily, she noticed something was up, so she didn't miss it.

“This is Fan Yin’s fault. You don’t need to worry. I won’t let Chong Jiu tell Fan Yin that you’re here. Don’t worry.”

Bai looked at her with surprise, "Really?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?" She could do that, and it wasn't anything important. Would Chong Jiu not listen to her?

"Um, I still don't know your name. What's your relationship with the Jiuze Temple?" Bai Shai stared intently at her.

Shu Jianyue glanced at Bai Shai, who was clearly not young anymore but had the heart of a naive little white flower, and said, "Can't you even tell?"

“We’re husband and wife, otherwise why would he listen to me?”

Bai Shai tilted his head. "Just because we're husband and wife doesn't mean he has to listen to you."

"Of course, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to sleep in his room, he would have to sleep in the study." Shu Jianyue successfully led a naive young girl astray.

Bai Shai suddenly remembered her master's suggestion. Would he listen to her then?

As soon as the idea came to mind, I immediately shook my head and rejected it. With my abilities, I should just give up on it.

You should be grateful if you're not completely under someone's thumb; expecting him to listen to you is like dreaming.

Shu Jianyue had heard enough gossip and stood up, saying, "Alright, let's go out. I'll introduce you to the other people. You can stay here for the time being since you have nowhere else to go."

"By the way, do you know Kong Xuan? Why do you insist on seeing me?" At the time, Kong Xuan only said that someone was stopping him and insisted on seeing his master, but he didn't say why.

At the time, Shu Jianyue thought that someone wanted to form a contract with Kong Xuan, which was why she did this, but little did she know that the truth was completely different.

Bai Shai blinked, looked up at her, and asked seriously, "Who is Kong Xuan?"

Three black lines appeared on Shu Jianyue's forehead. "You came back with him, and you don't even know who he is?"

"Oh, you mean Tengshe? So his name is Kongxuan. Not a bad name." Bai Shai pursed his lips.

Her master seemed to have a plan, so she named her Xiaoshai, directly taking one character from Baishai.

"And you, are you called Bai Shai?" Shu Jianyue asked as she opened the door.

Bai Shai pouted even more, "Yeah, who told me to run into such a master?"

Shu Jianyue didn't know how to comfort her, so she smiled and said, "Maybe he thinks the name Bai Shai sounds nice."

"Maybe." What else could Bai Shai say? It wouldn't make a difference anyway.

The two left the room and strolled around the back garden. Seeing Yan Xi picking flowers, Shu Jianyue immediately pulled Bai Shai over.

Before long, the three of them were fighting each other, which made Chong Jiu extremely want to call Fan Yin down and take his men away.

However, Shu Jianyue had just sent him a telepathic message, telling him to keep it a secret and not to say anything. If he really called the person down, he would still have to sleep on the soft couch in the study for a month.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, they had been in China for two years.

Chong Jiu and Wei Sheng Nan Lan kept deceiving Gong Cheng Ying, which dispelled much of his doubts.

During this period, Chaotian and Tiankong broke through to the realm of immortals.

Those who cultivate immortality are true immortals, while they are merely those who have entered the realm of immortals. Although they may seem similar, they are actually worlds apart.

A cultivator's true immortal realm can only withstand a spirit beast's entry into immortality for a few moments, which is an advantage that spirit beasts find difficult to attain.

Shu Jianyue is also on the verge of a breakthrough, just one step away.

They were sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon, which they hadn't seen for a long time. The moon was only showing a small part of itself, but it bathed the entire earth in a white light, which was very beautiful.

Looking at the crescent moon, Shu Jianyue knew that they were not far from returning to their rightful place.
