"No one knew I was a god at the time. Even Xia Xiao didn't know until later. But before that, I had Xia Xiao, a roommate who treated me like a sister, and a few good friends who were loyal to me."

"How did you do that?"

"You have to remember that when dealing with people, you just need to have a clear conscience, and nothing else needs to be forced!"

Ah Zhu did not say anything more, because at her age, even if she had the power of a god, she could only say this much, and saying more might mislead Wan Junru. Under Ah Zhu's control, the latter and Ru Dandan got rid of the wrapping of the starry sky and reappeared in front of Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu. And the next moment, when they just saw Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu, their figures seemed to fall in the starry sky and headed for the huge planet below.

In a blink of an eye, the two woke up, but when they looked again, they were just sitting at the table, and they seemed to have fallen asleep on the table before. Xia Xiao and Azhu sat opposite them and poured them a cup of tea.

Ah Zhu smiled, liking this feeling. She was afraid at first because she had no experience, but now she felt that giving others advice was not a bad thing. When Ah Zhu saw them practicing and becoming stronger according to her instructions, she would be even happier. Bringing the tea to the two, Ah Zhu asked with a smile:

"Was my advice helpful?"

The two girls nodded and saluted before sipping their tea absentmindedly, as they were still immersed in the previous conversation. They sat opposite Xia Xiao and Azhu, thinking back to the past, and always felt that Azhu was not as tall as they were now, but like a god, larger than the entire Xishu world.

It was an extremely sacred existence, so it didn’t matter to them even if they had waited for a long time, and they even felt extremely grateful in their hearts.

Now that the problem was solved, Wan Junru and Ru Dandan drank two more cups of tea and left. They were extremely nervous and excited when they came, and they were the same when they left, except that they no longer felt dizzy and drunk.

After leaving the house, Wan Junru immediately wanted to change, and when he said goodbye to Ru Dandan, he was very different from his usual cold attitude. It even made the latter feel strange. Wan Junru was so cold on weekdays, why did he take the initiative to say goodbye to her today?

Even though she felt strange, Ru Dandan was still very happy, because she had been undecided, and now she could not waste time and start practicing well. However, she thought too simply. As soon as she returned to Jinxingtang, everyone gathered around her. An hour after she left, everyone came here, but she didn't expect that she would come back after a while.

"What question did you ask Master Candle God?"

"What is Lord Candle God's attitude?"

"Where did you ask?"

…

Everyone usually has their own pride, but at this time they are all very curious, which makes Ru Dandan very helpless, but it also satisfies her vanity. It is not an easy thing to be the first to get the guidance of Lord Zhushen, but when she told everyone everything and told everyone the questions she asked, she was immediately booed and rolled her eyes by everyone.

"No way, that's all you asked? What a waste of opportunity!"

"That's right. Any question is better than this."

"But isn't it cool to answer questions in the starry sky?"

…

The audience was still shouting in anger, and Ru Dandan also raised her voice and shouted coldly:

"What are you arguing about? I can ask whatever I want to ask, what's it to you? If you have the ability, you can go find Lord Candle God yourself. Hmm, do you have the ability?"

Ru Dandan stared at them, and seeing her gaze, the disciples of Jinxing Hall all avoided her. In terms of strength, they were indeed not as good as Ru Dandan. She also knew this, so she said angrily:

"If you have the ability, why don't you go to see Lord Candle God? You are really meddling in other people's affairs. It's so annoying!"

Seeing that he was about to say more, Tianlong said quickly:

"Alright, go back and practice. Pay attention to improving your strength and your own pace. You will have to take on missions in a while. The more missions you take, the more spiritual medicines and holy fruits you will get. Perform well and strive to be on the second list of people to see Lord Zhushen. We, the disciples of Jinxingtang, will also be on it."

"yes--"

Everyone dispersed one by one, and Tianlong also went to deal with his own affairs. He never thought that he, who hated humans so much in the Great Wilderness World, would become a nanny for humans after coming to Xishu. I don't know if they will laugh at me if they know. When Tianlong saw these young people, he thought of his own race and felt a little uncomfortable.

Muxing Hall is far from Keyiyuan where Xia Xiao is, so Wan Junru returned to the hall later. Twenty-nine people plus Qing Xunzi were all there, seemingly waiting for her. But she was always cold and didn't know how to start the conversation, and so did everyone else. They had joined for nearly a month, but Wan Junru was the only one who really had no friends.

Fortunately, when everyone was embarrassed and didn't know how to start, Qing Xunzi asked:

"How is it? How did Lord Candle God give you instructions?"

"Lord Candle God brought us to the starry sky, saw right through us, and showed us the way out of the maze."

"Can that help?"

"I have benefited a lot, and I think the spiritual support brought by Lord Zhushen is the most important and useful."

Wan Junru seldom spoke on weekdays, and although his words were few and far between, they made many of the disciples of the Wood Hall curious and excited. To receive guidance from Master Zhushen was something they had always dreamed of. Even if they could just say a few words to him, it would be enough for them to brag about for several lifetimes.

Everyone has heard of gods, and they are all stories and legends that are familiar to the world. But the only one who is truly recognized is Ah Zhu, who is still with them!

In an instant, everyone was motivated and quickly started practicing, including Wan Junru. Although Ah Zhu's words were not profound, they kept lingering in his mind, causing him to quit practicing. When he opened his eyes, Wan Junru found Qing Xunzi also standing in the courtyard, and he immediately stood up and saluted.

"Master."

Qingxunzi smiled, said hello, and then said:

"Let me guess, the answer given by Ah Zhu should be different from what you originally thought, right?"

Wan Junru nodded. She originally thought that the existence of the Candle God would tell her something extremely profound and difficult to understand. She also thought that the one she saw on weekdays was just an illusion. She didn't expect that when she got serious, she was a little different from the god in her mind. But she didn't say it, because she helped her, and she should be grateful, instead of blindly looking for her shortcomings.

But even if she didn't say it, Qing Xunzi could guess that this was not the purpose of his visit.

"Azhu is still just a child, but she can see through you and me with just one glance. If I'm not mistaken, she should have seen your thoughts briefly and told you her simple opinions."

Wan Junru nodded, causing Qingxunzi to smile faintly. As Xia Xiao's master, and as someone who usually interacts with Ah Zhu more, Qingxunzi still knows her very well, but Wan Junru was not in a hurry and said:

"Master, I know you want to tell me to listen to Master Candle God. I will do what she says seriously, please rest assured. Although I speak little and am shy to express myself, I am not paranoid, nor do I think I am more powerful than Master God. So I will change, as Master Candle God said, I will not let my own reasons affect my future."

"Okay, I believe you, but you should also think more about your future path."

After saying that, Qingxunzi did not leave immediately, but handed over a wooden box. This wooden box looked very familiar, which made Wan Junru a little confused. It was not time to distribute the elixir yet. But Qingxunzi looked around the courtyard and saw that no one was there, so he gave it to her and signaled her to put it away quickly.

"This is Lord Zhushen's intention. Take it and use it. No matter where you go in the future, don't forget the kindness of Huangdian."

Wan Junru was still not good at expressing herself. She said "thank you for your kindness" and that was all she had to say. However, as someone who came from a small place, she was more grateful than many people. Therefore, when she saw her holding the wooden box, Qing Xunzi was full of smiles when she left.

In the Muxing Hall, Wang Yuanke came and surprised Qingxunzi. He said:

"Why are you here instead of staying in your Fire Hall?"

"I heard that you gave your elixir to the disciples in the hall? How generous of you. Why do you feel that you are old and there is no point in practicing anymore?"

"You are wrong. I was about to break through the shackles of the Great Wilderness when I was in the Great Wilderness. Now my strength has improved. It's not that I have given up cultivation, but I don't need that spiritual medicine. I can still advance to the tenth level."

"Bullshit, I don't know how capable you are. You feel that your life is about to end, so you start to prepare for a rainy day and cultivate the pillars of the Desolate Palace, right?"

Wang Yuanke's words made Qing Xunzi's face change immediately. His face became frighteningly cold and he turned his head to see if there was anyone around.

"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll get me into trouble."

Wang Yuanke shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Why bother? The more you do this, the more ashamed these pillars will feel in the future. I don't agree with this approach. It's not like the Deserted Palace is short of those elixirs."

"You little brat, I told you not to talk nonsense! Besides, even if the Desolate Palace has a lot of inventory, it will be spent eventually."

Qing Xunzi's tone was a little heavier, causing Wang Yuanke to shake his head again and look at the floor for a long time. Then, he suddenly said:

"I have never regretted coming to Xishu, but the life here is very different from what I expected."

"Everyone is like this, but the contrast before and after sunset will always be smoothed out, like Liu Chengxue."

"But even in his heart, there are still many regrets. After getting drunk that day, he told Xia Xiao and Zhang Jinchui a lot of things that he regretted. After all, who would have thought that the world outside the sky is still so vulgar, no different from the world over there, and even more obsessed with fame and fortune. It is difficult to survive without shelter."

After a few self-deprecating remarks, Wang Yuanke clapped his hands on his thighs and stood up.

"In the final analysis, only when you are strong enough can you come and go freely. I don't wish you to become stronger, just don't regret it."

"How can I regret it?"

Qingxunzi sighed, turned his back to Wang Yuanke and left, returning to his own courtyard to start practicing. Even in an ordinary city, the source of energy is much richer than in the Great Wilderness World. It is the talent that cannot be made up by sweat. Wang Yuanke is only about 300 years old, how can he know the distress of Qingxunzi who is more than 30,000 years old? But if you want to change your fate, there is a way, it just depends on whether you have the courage and guts.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Qing Xunzi. As the Pope of the Zou Shou Church, he has been traveling for a long time. In the remaining decades, he has only one wish, which is to stay with the Human Emperor and watch the rise of the Desolate Palace...
