Chapter 20
"Palace Master, there is definitely something wrong with you." Siyi said to Feng Jue, whose face suddenly darkened.
Don't be afraid to see a doctor when you are sick.
It’s better to visit the Inner Demon Room before going to the secret realm.
Feng Jue stood up, glanced at her indifferently, and disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye. Siyi picked up the freshly brewed tea and sipped it slowly as the storyteller on the stage continued. After a long moment, she sighed.
"When will the world's turmoil end..."
Lanyang City is backed by Lanyang Palace. It has experienced the rise and fall of Lanyang Palace for countless years. Now that Lanyang Palace is powerful and majestic, Lanyang City is naturally bustling with people and very lively.
Looking from the city, one can see towering mountains in the distance, shrouded in mist. Climbing up to the highest building and looking into the distance, one can glimpse a corner of the Lanyang Palace, which looks like a fairy palace in the clouds.
In Dongzhou, whether it is a casual cultivator or a mortal, everyone has an infinite yearning for Lanyang Palace.
Therefore, the business of Wangxiantai has always been good.
Wangxiantai is actually the tallest building in the city. It was built in imitation of the Lanyang Palace, so it is extremely magnificent. The tall building is located in the middle of the inner city and the outer city, like a gate, clearly separating the two cities.
The business in the inner and outer cities is different. The inner city entertains monks, while the outer city is where mortals live. However, the roads are walked on by people, and there is no rule that only monks or mortals are allowed to enter and exit the inner and outer cities. However, after entering the city, one must abide by the rules of the city, otherwise the disciples who patrol the Lanyang Palace every day will take action to teach the offenders what the rules are.
Monks were coming and going on the streets of the inner city, with different weapons hanging on their bodies. From time to time, disciples of the Lanyang Palace would patrol by, wearing red clothes embroidered with phoenix patterns, and they would not look away while walking.
Passersby, whether monks or mortals, simply cast their eyes on them openly or covertly.
The disciples of Baishui Sect looked at the backs of the Lanyang Palace disciples with envy. They had heard from their leader that the Lanyang Palace master was young, beautiful, and arrogant. The same was true of the disciples in this city. It seemed that anyone with any connection to the Lanyang Palace had a certain arrogance.
"If I had known earlier, I would have participated in the Lanyang Palace's spiritual root test. Maybe I would be a Lanyang Palace disciple now!" A disciple of the Baishui Sect said in a low voice, "It was my parents who thought the Baishui Sect was good. After I became a disciple, I realized that the Baishui Sect is only good in our town and is nothing in the eyes of other cultivators."
The disciples of Baishuimen felt sympathetic and sighed together, feeling that they had "gone astray".
"That's not true. At least our sect was prosperous before. You only know that Baishui Sect and Lianshan Sect have a feud, but you don't know why Baishui Sect became enemies with Lianshan Sect." Another disciple said, "Take Xue Bufan for example. He and the Palace Master of Lanyang Palace are
The engagement was made in her mother's womb. Back then, the Lianshan Sect was so glorious, even connected to the Lanyang Palace. But look at what the Lianshan Sect has become now?"
He was so destitute that he called off the marriage.
"We at Baishuimen are like this too."
The disciple who spoke first shook his head. "What kind of thing is this? When things are going well, we prosper together, and when things are going badly, we go badly together. When will our Baishui Sect crush the Lianshan Sect into the ground and make it impossible for them to get up? Come to think of it, why haven't I heard of Lanyang City ever going badly?"
The same disciple sneered, "How do you know that Lan Yang Palace has never fallen on hard times? Just from the word 'lan' in Lan Yang Palace, don't you hear something wrong?"
He didn't lower his voice, and the other tea guinea pigs around the table pricked up their ears.
The Baishui Sect disciple said, "Greedy, greedy, anyway... it just doesn't sound good. I also heard from Master that Lanyang Palace fell into silence for many years. Later, the grandmother of the old Palace Master, Feng Jue Palace Master, showed her talent and found a spiritual vein, which revived the glory of Lanyang Palace!"
03 Matchstick used a virtual brush to draw on the panel and wrote the words "hearsay" in the work log.
It hovered in the middle of the table, openly listening to gossip.
The disciple who spoke first said speechlessly, "After all this talk, I still haven't explained exactly how Lanyang Palace fell into such a state. I do know that our sect and Lianshan Sect experienced similar circumstances. Both sects died of disciples and gradually fell into silence without successors."
Therefore, after Xue Bufan of Lianshan Sect was found to have a top-grade spiritual root, the sect leader was frightened for a long time. After Xue Bufan's spiritual root was destroyed, no one was more excited than the sect leader.
Several disciples were chatting when Bai Fenghui's direct disciple came over. Hearing what they were talking about, he put his hand on one of their shoulders and said encouragingly, "That's true, but times are different now. Baishuimen has us!"
He lowered his head, using a knowing look to draw everyone closer, and smiled smugly, "When Master... comes out, we'll be rich!"
All the disciples smiled happily and agreed.
03Put down the small panel, and a small circle will appear under the eyes and slowly expand.
These people are just short of having the words "We have a secret" taped to their foreheads.
Ling Tong was speechless.
Seeing them start laughing and chatting about other things, the silver-white Tong slowly floated to the compartment on the second floor.
This store does business with monks. The guest rooms are equipped with spirit gathering arrays for the monks to practice. The partitions also have a spirit gathering effect, but the effect is not as good as the guest rooms. The cost of these two is not low.
In order to compensate Lanyang Palace, Baishuimen paid a large amount of spiritual stones and was short of money. Except for Bai Fenghui, all the other disciples were in Pu
I rested in the common room, and when I had nothing to do, I went to the hall to drink and chat, taking advantage of the lack of spiritual energy in the room.
03Find Xue Mengtao in the compartment near the railing.
She changed out of her Lanyang Palace clothes and donned a simple blue shirt, meditating silently. A faint spiritual energy drifted around her. She drew it into her body while listening to the laughter from downstairs. The worry between her brows added a touch of fragility to her.
03Open the work log and write: Xue Mengtao is doing the task.
It has not forgotten that keeping an eye on Xue Mengtao is also one of its tasks.
Just as 03 was about to find a middle position to monitor together, a low male voice flashed by outside the compartment and was drowned out by the waiter's enthusiastic call to greet the customers. Xue Mengtao, who was sitting cross-legged, was startled, stood up suddenly and rushed out.
"Young Master?" She looked at the crowd coming and going, her eyes filled with shock.
Xue Bufan is here too?
03 floated out and activated the scanning function on the crowd. Among the people walking around, there was no body type that matched Xue Bufan's record. Perhaps Xue Mengtao had misheard, or perhaps Xue Bufan was deliberately disguising himself. 03 thought it was the latter.
It would be unreasonable for the protagonist not to participate in the reopening of the secret realm that destroyed him.
I just don’t know what Xue Bufan is doing in Lanyang City.
03, not giving up, scanned the crowd again. Although the host had no side quests to earn points to purchase cheat codes, fortunately, it was an excellent! Upgraded to a high level! System! It could use its basic functions to assist the host.
But——I really miss all the props in the mall.
The lonely Tong opened the mall and stared at the host points balance which was 0, hoping to get it to 1.
Xue Mengtao also refused to give up. She walked up the crowd in a daze. When she reached the corner, suddenly an arm grabbed her and pulled her into the corner.
03 His eyes lit up and he rushed over.
[Warning, about to exceed the host's range of 100 meters! ]
【warn! 】
03:……
Silver Tongzi's dark circles fell, and he stepped back and looked at the wall.
Warning, the system is monitoring you.
It stared for a long time until Xue Mengtao came out from the corner with tears in her eyes, followed by a man in a cloak. The man had a hunched posture, an extremely old and ugly face, and black scars on his face, which made Tong not want to look directly at him.
Xue Mengtao actually looked at such a face with affection. No wonder the main system said that humans have unlimited potential.
Xue Mengtao said to the disguised Xue Bufan, "Master Xue, you must take good care of yourself no matter what."
"You too." Xue Bufan did not change his tone.
He whispered, "The Lanyang Palace is not as free as the Lianshan Sect. The rules are strict. You must be careful in your actions."
Xue Mengtao nodded with emotion and said, "If I could find a way to help you restore your spiritual roots..." She paused, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and murmured, "I wish I could take your place. Why is it that you, not me, have lost your spiritual roots?"
Xue Bufan was moved, and a look of emotion appeared on his wrinkled face.
03 A pair of eye circles, one facing upwards and the other facing downwards, try not to look directly at it, and finally open the portrait of Feng Jue to look at it.
alright.
It works again.
The current on the surface of the system was withdrawn.
Xue Mengtao reluctantly parted with Xue Bufan.
Xue Bufan whispered, "If Feng Jue asks you to do something difficult, you must tell me."
"No, the Palace Master treats me very well." Xue Mengtao shook her head, not revealing what Feng Jue had instructed her to do. The fate of the previous palace servant who had leaked information about Lanyang Palace was still fresh in her mind. She still wanted to stay in Lanyang Palace to find a way to save Xue Bufan, so she couldn't risk her life.
Xue Bufan sighed and said goodbye to Xue Mengtao.
Xue Mengtao walked away, looking back every few steps.
03 didn’t leave.
It stopped outside the cordon and stared at Xue Bufan motionlessly.
There was no one around, Xue Bufan frowned, as if he was talking to someone.
"I'm sure Feng Jue knows about the secret realm. Things outside Lanyang City have been quite uneasy lately, otherwise... well, let's do our own thing first."
He put on his hood and went upstairs with a hunched back.
What are you going to do?
You are talking to yourself, why don’t you speak clearly?
Humans are truly baffling.
03 drew a huge question mark on the panel, and the light of the ball flickered as it floated downstairs.
The disciples of Baishui Sect were arguing about which fairy in the world of cultivation was more beautiful. The debate went on and on, and the guests nearby couldn't help but join in.
The entire hall began to argue about who was the most beautiful woman in the world of cultivation.
03 It went out, record it quickly.
Got big news!
Today is truly a fruitful day.
"So, this is the big news you mentioned?" Feng Jue's eyelids twitched as he looked at the string of names on the panel and the elegant poems behind them.
Among them was her, with the words “the most beautiful girl in Dongzhou, worthy of first place”, but could only be admired from afar and not touched.
A ball of fire appeared in Feng Jue's palm, and his face was frosty, as if he was going to burn all the people who said these words in the next second.
"It's very important." 03 said, "I think the names here will appear around the protagonist in the future. The host can take the initiative."
Take them all, follow the protagonist's path, and leave the protagonist with no way to go.
Phoenix Technique: "..."
"Xue Bufan is in Lanyang City?" She changed the subject.
This is the second big news.
03Open the work log (host task version), the scene is online, and the performance is live.
Feng Jue picked up the teacup.
After a few minutes, 03 stopped and said, "Due to the distance, that's all I heard."
"The ghost is still there." Feng Jue muttered, "I wonder if Xue Bufan told Xue Mengtao about the spiritual roots."
She curled the corners of her mouth.
"Xue Mengtao is now a member of Lanyang Palace. Considering that she kept her mouth shut and did her job honestly, I will spare her life."
Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, and the host has been reminded of the protagonist's situation, then what's next?
03 raised the panel with names written on it again and waved it in front of Feng Jue.
Feng Jue felt a headache and rubbed his temples with two fingers together. The newly applied nail polish was bright red, with golden feathers on it, and his skin was as delicate as snow against the backdrop of Baiyu.
Why did things develop to this point? Feng Jue felt a strong sense of absurdity in her heart. She just broke off the engagement with Xue Bufan, so why did she have to choose a Taoist partner from a group of women?
Just explain it clearly to this little thing.
Feng Jue decided to cut the Gordian knot, but when she raised her head and met 03's big round eyes, she was suddenly speechless.
Being stared at by such a pair of strange and bizarre eyes, Feng Jue couldn't even utter what he wanted to say.
"Forget it, what do you know? Just deal with it for now. At least you have something to do." Feng Jue said in an inaudible voice. She didn't want to see 03 hanging on the wall as a candlestick anymore. After all, she was the only one who could see it, and her eyes were the only ones who suffered.
"Come here." Feng Jue waved.
03 was in high spirits and opened the panel to make it easier for Feng Jue to choose.
"A stunning beauty, aloof from the world, the Red Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden." Feng Jue recited lazily, sneering, "The Red Lotus Sect has always been aloof from worldly affairs, cultivating in seclusion. The Red Lotus Sect's rules prohibit Holy Maidens from marrying, and Holy Sons from marrying. This is absolutely impossible."
Oh, singleness.
But nothing is impossible for the protagonist. Even though we are supporting roles, we must also consider carefully and create possibilities.
03 Another way, "If she doesn't marry you, will you marry her?"
As soon as the words fell, a golden red fire whip came over, passed through 03's body and fell to the ground.
Black cracks split the floor, and flames were still emitting on both sides of the whip marks.
03The frosty voice was calm, "Next."
Feng Jue raised his hand, snorted coldly, retracted his life-saving magic weapon into his sea of consciousness, and continued to read.
"Qianxiu Valley's Yu Xuefei is a medical practitioner. She has wood spiritual roots, which are incompatible with my attributes, so I will not consider her."
"Meng Xiangfei of Xuanyin Mountain. Xuanyin Mountain is also known as the Little Demon Sect, and Meng Xiangfei has the reputation of being a witch. How could I, the Palace Master of Lanyang Palace, be involved with a witch? Impossible."
"Tai Yan Sect wishes for rain, she practices the Way of Mercilessness."
"Qiu Jingyue from the Shifang Sect, although she is at the Jindan stage, she is two hundred years older than me, so it's not suitable."
"Qiu Shuangshuang from Qiushui Pavilion came of age last year, but she's still a young girl. She's too young to be suitable."
…
Feng Jue picked out the flaws one by one on the list. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw 03's dark circles drifting to the top of his head. She slowly closed her lips and frowned, "What are you looking at? Is there something on the beam?"
03 nodded.
some.
flag.
But the person who retrieved the flag was most likely not the host. When she was counting down how to be inappropriate with these people who might get entangled with the protagonist, 03 seemed to see countless plots flash by.
"The host doesn't like Xue Mengtao, but still takes her into Lanyang Palace." 03 suggests, supports, and encourages the host to continue doing so.
Don't be defeated by the difficulties in front of you. Human beings, please learn to overcome them.
Feng Jue gasped, wanting to whip 03 again. She said, "You think too highly of me."
Putting aside whether it could be done, even if it was, it would be like the Lanyang Palace Master being a playboy and lustful person, making enemies with the world for the sake of beauty! She also didn't want the Lanyang Palace to become the second Jiutian Sect.
03 said calmly: "One by one."
“…”
Feng Jue was speechless, feeling that she couldn't let 03 go like this. She narrowed her eyes, and her long eyelashes drooped, blocking the scenery in front of her eyes.
"03, you simply want me to get married as soon as possible and sever my ties with Xue Bufan. I understand your intentions, but I have absolutely no interest in starting a harem." Feng Jue said, "I have a task for you. There are countless cultivators in this world. Choose from them and find me a Taoist companion who suits my heart best. How do you do that?"
03My heart, which had just felt disappointed, suddenly became refreshed.
New mission?
This is the third task assigned to it by the host.
“Is it a deal?” 03 asked.
Feng Jue smiled faintly, raised his finger, and high-fived the matchstick held up by 03.
"It's a deal."
She smiled brightly and confidently. She thought to herself, "No matter what gods, ghosts, monsters or demons you bring, I won't respond. Go ahead and do whatever you want!"
Whether it's a Taoist partner or falling in love and getting married, she doesn't need it at all!
03Also great ambitions are rewarded.
It is the Golden Finger System 03, the best employee of the Book Department, the only advanced system under the main system, and has never failed a mission in its life.
No matter what the cost, it will definitely find the host's Taoist partner!
The author has something to say
03: No work log today, but there is an important announcement. Tomorrow I will earn funds to continue the mission, please continue to visit me and the host! Everyone bows.gif
Feng Jue lay lazily and made a heart shape with his hands to you.
Pre-collected ancient works "Master is Beautiful" and "The Harem is a Shura Field", and modern works "Slow Love with My Dramatist Girlfriend" (will be published soon). Please take a look, thank you~
