The old man avoided Yingya's questioning and pointed at him aggrievedly: "My dear Yaya, it's no use for you to be mean to Master. This is the life path he set for himself. If we interfere, it would be against his wishes at the time."

Ying Ya was stunned: "You mean, the Emperor of Fengdu set this life course for himself back then?"

The old man nodded to indicate that it was indeed the case.

Ying Ya frowned: "What about Miao Nannan's life? Where is it? After her soul is scattered, doesn't it mean that she can never appear in this world again?"

This is what makes Ying Ya most angry.

She could go through the tribulation, but why did she have to arrange the fate of an innocent mortal? Or even let her die directly?

When the old man heard this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Miao Nannan is not dead. How could Master let her die, someone who is related to you? Doesn't this make you sad?"

"Then why didn't I calculate where she was?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course it's because she is now in a place you can't predict. For example, in the magic weapon of the King of Fengdu."

"She...became the Great Emperor Seal?" Ying Ya opened her eyes wide, "If her soul is still there, she can be resurrected."

Ying Ya likes Miao Nannan's personality very much.

She is motivated and positive, and will take the initiative to help those in need, but she will not let this kindness overly affect her own life.

"Yes, I can." The old man nodded, "But my disciple, don't tell Zhan Beichen yet. Let him pass this test first. The purpose of going through the tribulation is to temper your character. If you know the truth in advance, how can you train yourself?"

"Is the nigger also a part of him?" Ying Ya asked again.

The old man nodded again, indicating that it was indeed the case.

"Then...if I'm not here, when will the souls of Zhan Beichen and the black ghost meet?"

The old man saw that his young disciple was a little angry, and answered honestly: "After fighting with the ghost who stole the Great Emperor's Seal and losing his beloved woman, his soul was also beaten to death, and then he went to the underworld, met the black ghost, and the two merged. If the fusion went smoothly and he gained some of his original abilities, he could take back the Great Emperor's Seal and return to the underworld."

Knowing that these plots were written by Fengdu Emperor himself, Ying Ya muttered, "What an old-fashioned and lousy plot."

Then she replied to her master seriously: "Okay, I won't tell Zhan Beichen, and I won't do anything."

The old man was satisfied and said goodbye to his apprentice with a smile.

When his consciousness returned to his body, Ying Ya felt mixed emotions when facing Zhan Beichen in front of him.

The journey of overcoming the tribulation was arranged by Emperor Fengdu himself, but now Zhan Beichen has begun to question it all.

Who should he blame? It should be his own fault in his previous life!

"Are you the little disciple now, or the King of Fengdu?" Ying Ya asked directly.

Zhan Beichen fell silent after being asked.

He came to ask Ying Ya for help in solving his doubts. He did know some of his memories from his past life and knew that he was the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu who had survived the tribulation.

But he doesn't think of himself as the King of Fengdu.

He should be Zhan Beichen, the Taoist priest of Sanqing Temple who was lucky enough to meet Ying Ya in this world, become her apprentice, learn Taoist skills, and save lives for many years. Zhan Beichen.

"I am your apprentice." Zhan Beichen's eyes were firm. He lowered his head and restrained the momentum he had just used to question Ying Ya.

Once a teacher, always a father... No, always a mother... Uh...

What difference did it make whether he was Zhan Beichen or the Emperor of Fengdu? His beloved woman still died in front of him to save him.

He still didn't survive this disaster.

Seeing the little disciple silent, Ying Ya patted the little disciple on the shoulder and said, "You should know that I, the master, also faced a choice in the past. Should I be the ya Ya of Sanqing Temple or the ya Ya of the Lu family?"

"Now that you have made your choice, you must be firm in your heart. Anything extra will only help you move forward."

These words are indeed very motivating.

But when Zhan Beichen thought of Miao Nannan's death, his eyes were filled with endless bitterness: "Master, what's the point of choosing now? Nannan's... soul disappeared in front of me."

This is the question that Yingya is waiting for.

She sat cross-legged on the futon in Sanqing Temple and asked Zhan Beichen to sit down as well. Then, she said, "My little disciple, let me tell you a story."

"In a hypothetical world, there is a deity called the Stupid Emperor, who possesses a magic weapon called the Great Emperor's Seal."

As soon as Ying Ya started, the master's voice came into his mind: [Ya Ya, you promised me not to tell him.] Ying Ya: [I didn't tell him. I was just telling him a story about the Stupid Emperor. I didn't tell him anything. It's not illegal for a master to tell a story to his apprentice, right?] There was no more voice in his mind, but thunder suddenly sounded outside the Sanqing Temple.

The thunder startled the old turtle and the little dragon living in the small ocean opposite the Sanqing Temple. They popped their heads out of the water and wondered: What's going on? Didn't the young temple master ascend once? Why did the thunder tribulation come later?

Amidst the thunder, thick lightning bolts stopped above the houses of Sanqing Temple many times.

But in the end, when it is about to touch the tiles, it will be quietly retracted.

So amidst these repeated voices, Ying Ya continued to narrate: "This magic weapon called the Great Emperor Seal has a special feature. Although it kills people, it will gather the souls of those people inside, and only release them when the time is right."

Zhan Beichen, who had a dead look on his face, suddenly lit up his eyes when he heard these words.

His master never lied. Even when he was telling a story, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Under the current circumstances, the soul sealed in the Great Emperor Seal that Master mentioned must be Miao Nannan’s soul!

His Nan Nan is not dead!

"Xiao Chen, be firm in your choice. Just be brave and do what you want to do." Ying Ya winked playfully, "Master promised not to attack, but Master... can still kick."

When Ying Ya said this, the thunder and lightning in the sky suddenly disappeared and turned into a light rain that appeared and disappeared suddenly.

It sounded like someone was choked and coughed.

Ying Ya continued, "Besides, in the future, we can still work hard to pluck out all the beards of a certain being. Who let him bear the title of master but not do good things?"

The flash rain appeared again.

Then, the sky completely returned to normal.

It was just that the clouds in the sky were shaking for an inexplicable long time.

After Ying Ya comforted Zhan Beichen, he took Zhan Beichen directly to the palace of Fengdu Emperor in the underworld. Although it was a reincarnation, Zhan Beichen now had some of Fengdu Emperor's memories, and in the palace, more memories poured in.

Soon, he mastered the laws of the underworld.

And these laws will be fully released the moment you obtain the Great Emperor's Seal.
