He talked for two hours and still hadn't finished. My butt was so sore I couldn't take it anymore, so I just asked him if anyone from the Immortal Clan had recently ascended to immortality.
He shook his head upon hearing this, saying that according to Immortal Lord Jianjia, the Immortal Clan had not ascended to Immortal Lord status for over three hundred years. True Man Baigu was worried about this matter and was preparing to personally select talents from various clans. The list would be released in a few days.
Seeing that he was deliberately avoiding mentioning Ji Ruchen, I brought it up directly with him.
He said that Ji Ruchen's matter was over, the Immortal Clan was very satisfied with my performance, and told me to forget about him.
At this point, the father fell silent.
After a long pause, he tidied my messy hair that was flying in the wind and said, "I'm sorry."
But it terrified me; this sudden sadness was really not appropriate for him.
It's much more pleasant to be with that carefree father. That kind of father is too oppressive and makes people feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, I quickly asked him about some other happy things, and he seemed to come back to life, returning to his carefree self.
However, no further questions were asked about Ji Ruchen.
According to what he said, the immortals probably didn't want me and Ji Ruchen to get too involved. For some reason, I suddenly felt depressed, and my buttocks were really sore, so I had Lu Wei help me back to Feiyu Pavilion.
Yinzheng Huazheng seemed to have known all along that I would be severely beaten today, as she had prepared everything: medicine, hot water, bandages, scissors, and even a bed.
It's hateful that I still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking I could escape this calamity. It seems that this trip to the mortal realm has worn down my will and made me much more foolish.
That's not good. It seems I need to find some more storybooks to read and brush up on my brain, otherwise I'll be laughed at to death by these people.
Lu Wei
Without further ado, I obediently lay on the couch while Yin Zheng and Hua Zheng applied medicine and massaged me, and at the same time, I summoned Lu Wei.
"What is it, Your Highness?"
He answered in a lukewarm voice, with a hint of detachment.
I know her temperament, so I don't blame her for being disrespectful.
Ask her:
"Do you know if there are any new good storybooks that have come out recently? I'd like to buy a few to satisfy my craving. I haven't read them in a long time, and I miss them terribly."
Before Lu Wei could speak, Hua Zheng, who was pressing on my back, paused and interjected:
"Just now, His Highness the Young Lord sent someone to deliver 3,816 books on the Great Dao of Cultivation, which were placed in the Spirit Book Pavilion. He said that he asked a friend to obtain them from the Realm of Immortal Treasures and asked His Highness to memorize them all within three months. He would personally test His Highness at that time."
Furthermore, His Highness has repeatedly instructed us to advise Your Highness to refrain from reading miscellaneous books. In the coming days, Your Highness should avoid angering His Highness and instead focus on your cultivation.”
I gave Lu Wei a questioning look, and she nodded, indicating that she agreed with Hua Zheng.
To cut off my desire to read storybooks, I cast a projection spell, moving all the books my older brother had sent up right in front of me.
The mountain-sized book on spiritual practice was waving around in front of me, making my eyes water. I almost wished I could just sit there and die.
My brother is really too cruel this time. I've already taken the beating, can't you just let me live? Do you have to torture me to death before you're satisfied?
Even if these were just storybooks, I might not be able to finish reading them in three months with my ability to read ten lines at a glance. Let alone these obscure and difficult Taoist books, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to recognize all the characters.
This is definitely a tactic to cause trouble.
But what can I do? I'm desperate too.
