The tall figure in the portrait has a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

"I want to go to Longhu Temple in the future."

“Our Longhu Temple is very shabby, there’s nothing nice about it, except for the peach blossoms.”

"I must go and see."

"You are welcome anytime."

As Qin Luo and the others chatted, they went upstairs to sit by the window, where Dou Dou brought them freshly brewed tea.

DouDou wrapped her head with a headscarf to prevent her rabbit ears from showing and scaring ordinary people. XiaoTao tied her hair into cat ears, which looked like a cat ear hairstyle, but actually she had real cat ears hidden inside.

"Thanks."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Dou Dou stared wide-eyed, unable to believe her ears. Because of her buck teeth, guests usually didn't like to see her, and she was disliked even when serving tea and water.

Chu Peiran picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said, "Not bad, not bad, the tea is very good."

This was the first time DouDou had been praised; she was usually scolded no matter what she did. She rubbed her eyes.

Qin Luo watched as the clouds outside the window slowly dissipated, revealing busy figures of people on the street. "Brother Chu, how much do you know about the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm?"

Chu Peiran put down his teacup. "The Azure Emperor's Secret Realm is located in the Green Mountains outside the city. It opens once every ten years. According to our estimation, it should open on the ninth day of the month, which is about three days away."

Qin Luo asked curiously, "Brother Chu, do you know the origin of the Azure Emperor?"

Chu Peiran shook his head, his brows furrowing slightly. "There are many legends about the Azure Emperor. Some say he was an ancient god, some say he was a demon, and some say he was a human. He was involved in many great battles, and he perished after killing the Demon Lord."

"Does he have a grudge against the Demon Lord?"

"Before the Mythical Era, the Demon Race was the most powerful race in the world. The Demon Race was brutal and bloodthirsty. Legend has it that the Demon Emperor waged war against the heavens. In the end, the Demon Emperor was suppressed under the eternal night of the Chaotic Demon Sea, and the Demon Race declined as a result. The Demon Lord was the strongest Demon Race after the Demon Emperor was suppressed. After the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, He wanted to release the sealed Demon Emperor. If the Demon Emperor were to be born, it would be a catastrophe for the Three Realms. Therefore, the Azure Emperor chose to exchange one for one with the powerful Demon Lord."

Qin Luo nodded, "Brother Chu is indeed a scholar; he knows a lot."

"You flatter me, fellow Daoist."

Chu Peiran continued drinking his tea.

"I admire Senior Qingdi for sacrificing himself for the Three Realms!" Qin Luo said with respect in his eyes.

Chu Peiran nodded, "Yes, that's why the Azure Emperor is respected by the world. There is an Azure Emperor Temple at the foot of the Green Mountain, and even the Emperor has gone to worship there."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo suggested with a smile, "Since we have nothing to do, why don't we go to the Qingdi Temple to offer our prayers?"

"OK!"

Chu Peiran looked at Guichen, "Master Guichen, are you going or not?"

Gui Chen smiled and nodded, "Go, such a senior deserves to pay homage."

Qin Luo came downstairs and saw the cat-eared girl engrossed in reading. He smiled and reminded her, "Xiao Tao, you're holding your book upside down."

"oh oh......"

Xiao Tao awkwardly turned the book back upside down.

Chu Peiran laughed heartily, "Xiao Tao, I'll teach you to read when I get back."

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Tao nodded emphatically.
