After hearing Jiang Zhiling's description, which was exaggerated several times, Ran Hongyue nodded with great satisfaction, "Indeed, my teacher is indeed that strong. It seems that you did not lie to me. My teacher is indeed still alive."
Jiang Deng: “…”
No, could you two please stop saying these weird things in front of her? It sounds really embarrassing...
Fortunately, it was really easy to get things done under the banner of Venerable Jiang Deng. Ran Hongyue not only agreed to go with them to the Wilderness to fight against the extraterritorial demons, but also rescued Chi Lian and others from the cell overnight.
They noticed that the jailers who brought them out were very respectful to them. They probably didn't want to drag them out and behead them, but Jiang Deng's plan worked.
Chi Lian, Bai Sitang and others excitedly greeted Jiang Deng from a distance.
"Jiang Deng, it still has to be you!"
"Mother... Jiang Deng, you actually convinced that woman so quickly. You are worthy of being my son... You are truly amazing."
"Great! It seems that all the people who possess the artifacts have gathered together. Now we can finally go to the wasteland!"
…
"etc."
Listening to the discussion among the crowd, Ran Hongyue couldn't help but stare at Jiang Deng with suspicion, "Why are you also called Jiang Deng?"
Jiang Deng scratched his head and laughed dryly: "Hahaha, maybe this name has a better meaning, so my mother gave me this name."
Ran Hongyue sneered, "I don't know what the meaning of this name is."
"The moral is, naturally, to use yourself as a lamp, a support, and an island. It means that if you want to escape the sea of suffering and reach the other shore, you must first find yourself. You are the lamp that illuminates the way to the other shore. Before saving others, don't forget to save yourself first."
After saying this subconsciously, Jiang Deng was stunned.
The meaning of the name Jiang Deng was naturally told to her by her mother in her previous life. It seems that her mother understood her saintly character in her previous life very well, so she gave her this name, hoping that she could cherish herself first before cherishing others.
Unfortunately, she disappointed her mother and was badly betrayed by the seven disciples she picked up out of kindness. It wasn't until this life that she woke up and strictly abided by the principle of cherishing herself as the premise of her actions. Indeed, her life has been smooth sailing...
As for this life?
She didn't know why she was called this name. Maybe it was fate.
After Jiang Deng's explanation, Ran Hongyue's suspicion of Jiang Deng was not dispelled, but deepened.
These words were spoken with a profound understanding of the Dao, and did not sound like something a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm could say. Instead, they were more like words that could only be spoken by a person as clear and bright as an immortal like my master.
"Ahaha," seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Chi Lian quickly interrupted, "Since Lord Ran has agreed to cooperate with us, why don't we head to the Desolate Territory immediately? After all, the chaos in the Ten Territories can't be delayed any longer."
"No hurry." Ran Hongyue's eyes swept across Jiang Deng's face, and she said in a tone that brooked no refusal: "Since I need to be away for a while, I must naturally arrange everything in Hongyue Yinyu before I can set off."
The straightforward Nangong Xiangrui couldn't help but ask, "Ah? How long will that take?"
"Everyone, please rest in the palace for one night. We will set off tomorrow."
After saying that, Ran Hongyue turned away. The waiter who received the notice soon arranged for Jiang Deng and his group to live in the palace.
There are many rooms in the palace, enough for more than a dozen of them to live in. The environment and conditions are also good. Apart from the awkwardness of meeting Ran Hongyue's beauties, it is actually quite good.
When Jiang Deng was returning to the palace where he lived, he happened to meet a group of women who were summoned by Ran Hongyue and were heading to the palace where Ran Hongyue was. Among them were the two sisters Song Yayue and Song Yaxing, who were familiar to Jiang Deng.
It turns out that the Jinshi Auction House is actually Hongyue Yinyu’s external property!
Jiang Deng suddenly understood.
No wonder, although the Red Moon Yin Realm is closed to the outside world and no outsiders are allowed to enter, the Red Moon Yin Realm is quite knowledgeable about what is happening outside. It turns out that they have expanded their business to all ten regions.
Then why did Ran Hongyue summon the people from Jinshi Auction House?
Jiang Deng thought about it and suddenly understood.
It seems that based on her own words alone, Ran Hongyue still doesn't quite believe the news that Venerable Jiang Deng is still alive, and that Venerable Jian, Venerable Mo, Demon King and others are dead, so she summoned the people from the Jinshi Auction House who were most informed about the outside world to find out the situation.
Only when she is sure that what Jiang Deng says is true will she truly agree to go to the wilderness with them to fight against the extraterritorial demons.
Well... Ran Hongyue is worthy of being the lord of a domain.
After Jiang Deng finished expressing her feelings, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not tell a single lie. She just concealed the fact that she was Venerable Jiang Deng.
Since she didn't tell a lie, Jiang Deng didn't worry about being exposed at all, and she happily went back to her bedroom to sleep.
The next morning.
Jiang Deng and his group gathered in the courtyard and had breakfast together.
Although their cultivation levels were not low and they had already been practicing fasting and did not need to eat at all, the food here in the Red Moon Yin Realm was particularly different. It was a delicacy made from rare spiritual herbs and spiritual beasts. If they did not eat it, it would be a shame to the chef who had been busy before dawn.
Jiang Deng took the lead and cleaned up the delicious food on the table in a flash, just to replenish some spiritual power before the battle.
Looking at the beautiful waiters waiting on the side, Bai Sitang couldn't eat at all. He said angrily, "This is too much! How dare Ran Hongyue make us men dress like this weak!"
"Do you feel okay, Pei?"
Another man in the group, Pei Ranzhi, was puzzled. "Last night, a male concubine lived next to the palace where I stayed. I was a little skeptical about this at first, but he said that pursuing beauty and tenderness is their freedom, and that they like their current life of mediocrity and don't want to fight or kill."
"Pei thinks what they say makes sense. Not every man wants to become strong. Being able to stay by the side of the one you love is the happiest thing in the world."
As he spoke, Pei Ranzhi glanced at Nangong Xiangrui who was eating heartily next to him, and a blush appeared on his face.
Bai Sitang: “…”
This love-sick person is really embarrassing for men!
"In short, it's wrong for Ran Hongyue to treat us men like this! Women should stay in the deep palace and pursue beauty and love!" Bai Sitang protested, slamming the table.
"cough!"
Listening to Bai Sitang's increasingly outrageous words, Jiang Deng frowned slightly and couldn't help coughing, interrupting Bai Sitang's protest.
Does this silly kid even know they're on someone else's territory? Especially when they need something from the other person?
If you want to vent your dissatisfaction, you should at least return to your own territory. Besides, isn't it difficult to respect local customs and traditions? The local men are also happy with it, so why would you, an outsider, protest?
Sensing the disapproval in Jiang Deng's eyes, Bai Sitang bit his lip tightly and said with a hurt look on his face, "Could it be that even you don't understand me, Young Master?"
