Along the way, Jing Teng would come out and pester him whenever he had a spare moment. Zu An had been in a heavy mood lately and had no interest in romance, but he couldn't resist Jing Teng's persistent pursuit.
Bai Jingteng was one thing, but she was quite considerate and chatted with him from time to time along the way.
But after Hei Jingteng came out, he didn't have so many scruples. Every time, people would say that he was untrustworthy and didn't keep his word.
Zuan was worn down and, being in the wrong, had no choice but to give in and help her make up for the energy she had lost last time.
Later on, the white vine appeared less and less often, while the black vine appeared more and more often.
Zuan had some doubts about this, after all, Bai Jingteng and Hei Jingteng were evenly matched at the beginning.
The two of them spent roughly half the time together, and neither could gain the upper hand.
But why did it turn out to be one-sided in the end?
Is it because Bai Jingteng is too shy and doesn't receive constant replenishment like Hei Jingteng, leading to an imbalance in their strength?
But the two of them are clearly sharing the same body.
Several times, Zuan couldn't help but want to ask, but in the end, he gave up on this suicidal impulse.
Ah, it's good to be confused sometimes.
Happy times are always short-lived, and before we knew it, we had arrived at the gate of the White Jade Capital Sect.
Before Zu'an lay countless mountain peaks, each soaring straight into the sky like a pen, with clouds and mist swirling around its midsection, and pavilions and towers on its summits. From afar, they looked like palaces built in the clouds.
He also noticed that a large river flowed on the highest peak, almost encircling all the other peaks, and many cranes and other birds circled over the river.
The key point is that this great river is completely suspended in mid-air!
No one knows what methods Bai Yujing used to make a river flow in the sky.
A poem he had read before came to mind:
The Jade Palace in the heavens, with its twelve towers and five cities.
An immortal touched my head, and I was granted eternal life.
No wonder Bai Yujing was able to become a transcendent figure in the Daoist sect; seeing him now, he is indeed extraordinary.
When I first saw the Zhengyang Sect on Purple Mountain, they were also quite imposing, but their side gave off a more worldly and prosperous feeling, while this side had a transcendent and otherworldly feeling, like a fairyland.
No wonder they were able to cultivate figures like Yan Xuehen and Chu Chuyan.
Thinking of Chu Yan, Zu An's expression darkened, but then he looked at the distant mountain peaks with anticipation.
Perhaps the original Chu Yan in this world is alright, and the one who got into trouble is just Chu Yan from another timeline...
He fell silent upon thinking about this. Even if the other person was Chu Yan from another timeline, would he just not go and save her?
"This is a sacred place in Baiyujing; idlers are forbidden!" Soon, disciples came out to drive them away, noticing that Zu'an had been lingering here for a long time.
"Please inform Abbot Yan that I have something to discuss with you." Zu An's expression was calm, and he did not act arrogantly despite his high cultivation level.
"Over the years, countless people have tried to see our Abbot Yan, but Abbot Yan has already declared that he will not see anyone. You should leave now." The group exchanged glances, looking like yet another group of sycophants had arrived.
Originally, they wanted to drive Zuan away, since they couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from him.
However, seeing his extraordinary demeanor and the inexplicable air of authority between his brows, the disciples did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Seeing the crowd blocking his way, Zu An frowned but didn't bother arguing with them. Instead, he called out to the distant mountain peak, "Master Yan, an old friend has come to visit..."
His voice, though not loud, echoed among the many mountain peaks, and almost everyone could hear it clearly.
The disciples at the mountain gate were all shocked. How could this person's cultivation be so terrifying?
Luckily, I didn't offend him.
Just then, a transparent light shield suddenly rose between the various mountain peaks, with runes flashing on it. It turned out that Baiyujing's mountain-protecting formation had been automatically activated.
Countless rays of light rose from the mountains, and figures flying on swords flew towards the mountain gate.
They had just heard the other party's telepathic message and were equally shocked. Anyone capable of such a feat was undoubtedly a rare and formidable enemy.
As a result, almost all the powerful members of the sect mobilized, fearing that the enemy would take the opportunity to attack the mountain.
Just as everyone was forming ranks to prepare for battle, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that the Regent?"
During the battle at Zishan, some disciples from Baiyujing had met Zu'an.
Upon learning his identity, the experts from Baiyujing awkwardly abandoned their hostile intentions.
Many people know that the other party has done Bai Yujing a great favor.
However, Bai Yujing has never had much contact with the imperial court. If he were to be welcomed in a grand manner at this time, it would inevitably send some signals that could be misunderstood by the outside world.
Wait, doesn't he seem to be here to see Abbot Yan?
Yes, his wife happens to be a direct disciple of Abbot Yan...
Just as the group was caught in a dilemma, a graceful white figure drifted in from afar.
"Greetings, Abbot!" The disciples bowed in greeting.
Many people secretly marveled at how ethereal and otherworldly Master Yan was, and for some reason, she seemed even more beautiful than usual today.
Upon seeing that familiar figure, Yan Xuehen's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, but she quickly concealed it and resumed her usual cold voice: "What brings the Regent Prince from so far away?"
“I came here specifically to find you.” Zu An looked at her; her features were exquisite, her long hair flowed freely, and her white dress seemed to glow as she moved.
Upon hearing his words, Yan Xuehen's cheeks instantly turned red. How could this person say such a thing in front of so many people? Do I even want to live anymore?
However, she noticed that none of Bai Yujing's disciples looked unusual, and then she realized that in the eyes of the world, she was Zu'an's senior and her wife's master. They must have come to see her for her wife's sake, so they naturally wouldn't think much of it.
