Meanwhile, Zu'an ran to the Biluo Palace villa. Because of Pei Mianman's previous disappearance, Master Huoling had become even more ruthless, almost inseparable from her, and scrutinizing everyone who approached her as if they were criminals.

Zuan didn't have a chance to speak privately with Pei Mianman. After handing over the Lifeline Talisman, he left.

After he left, Master Huoling looked at her disciple scrutinizingly: "Manman, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with him?"

The previous instances where Zuan helped could be explained, but this time, his strong support for Pei Mianman to become number one, along with the delivery of such a precious talisman, cannot be explained simply by being infatuated with Manman's beauty.

Helpless, Pei Mianman had no choice but to subtly mention her relationship with Zu An, because it would be unbearable to think about if her master kept the two of them apart in the future.

“No man is any good,” Fire Spirit Master was shocked upon learning of the two's private relationship, feeling as if her carefully cultivated cabbage had been eaten by a pig. However, remembering Zu An's help over the past few days, she added, “This…”

The kid's not bad, a bit better than that bastard Wan Tongtian back in the day."

He then frowned and said, "But he's a bit too much of a womanizer. I heard rumors that he has an ambiguous relationship with that Chu guy from Bai Yujing."

Pei Mianman explained cautiously, "They used to be husband and wife..."

Before she could finish speaking, Abbess Huoling exclaimed, "No, no, you're going to become a concubine! Someone like you deserves a man who is devoted to you."

"They've already divorced..."

"That won't do either. Why would you want something that other women don't want?"

"That's not how it works..."

...

The next morning, all the sects of Taoism gathered on the Golden Summit. The elders of the Zhengyang Sect came out and opened the secret realm. Zu An was surprised to find that the so-called Taoist secret realm was actually hidden in the wordless heavenly book.

The wordless celestial book opened, and after a series of manipulations by the Taoist priests, streaks of blue-black light emanated from the book, projecting a portal resembling a wormhole nearby.

After bidding farewell to their respective sects, the contestants from each faction stepped into the spatial gate one by one. Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman also quietly said goodbye to Zu An. Zu An originally wanted to suggest that they join forces inside, but he was worried that his suggestion might have the opposite effect.

The two women are good friends after all, and they should know what to do if something really happens.

After everyone entered the secret realm, the gate of light disappeared, and the wordless book returned to its calm state.

The gate to this space will reopen in half a month. As for what those people will obtain in the secret realm, that will depend on their own fortune.

Because the Book of No Words is currently in the hands of the Azure Palace, it is guarded jointly by Wan Tongtian and Master Huoling to prevent...

What happened to the Heavenly Book that caused the disciples inside to be in danger?

Other factions were also not at ease, and similarly sent their experts to guard the vicinity.

Seeing this, Zu An felt a little relieved. After leaving the Golden Summit, he originally wanted to talk to Yan Xuehen, but she had already disappeared. He guessed that she might be hiding from him, so Zu An had no choice but to go back to his room.

Upon entering the room, he found Xie Daoyun still asleep in bed. He was puzzled and suddenly frowned as he looked into the inner room.

At this moment, a woman with long, flowing hair slowly walked out: "Tsk tsk, our Lord Zu is really blessed with good fortune. He can keep beauties wherever he goes."

“Sister Yun,” Zu An exclaimed with delight, then saw the beautiful woman behind her. “Hong Lei, you’ve arrived.”

Qiu Honglei smiled and said, "What, do you feel that our return has disturbed your good time?"

Zu An laughed and said, "What are you saying? You all know why Miss Xie came here. I was just worried that you would be discovered by those people from the Taoist sect."

Yun Jianyue snorted: "Those people from the Daoist sect are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in my eyes."

Zuan couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you worried about what will happen to Red Tears?"

Yun Jianyue rolled her eyes: "Don't we still have you? If we join forces, I don't believe anyone can touch her."

Qiu Honglei: "..."

Master, it seems that you didn't say that when you stopped me from recognizing my great-grandmother.

Zu An laughed and said, "That's true."

"It's infuriating to even think about it. Hong Lei originally had a chance to go to the Daoist secret realm to see what was going on, and then loot all the Daoist treasures. Just thinking about it is exciting." Yun Jianyue was somewhat annoyed, especially since it was those same people who went into the secret realm today.

Those days.

Zuan asked curiously, "How exactly did those people from Kongming Island escape? Have you found out the reason?"

"I haven't had time to investigate yet. There's something more important to do right now," Yun Jianyue said, coughing.

Qiu Honglei, who was standing to the side, seemed to wake up from a dream: "Aunt, actually we came to find you this time specifically because we need your help. We need you to save someone."
