Of all the aristocratic families in Kyoto, only He Jingjing was chosen by Wu Xiuyun, which made the several families who knew of Wu Xiuyun's identity as a "fairy lady" jealous. For He Shumin, this was their family's "fairy fate," so why not brag about it? Moreover, since He Jingjing and Wu Xiuyun had established this little connection, He Shumin had also relied on Wu Xiuyun to solve a problem that had been bothering him.
Under He Shumin's deception, Wu Xiuyun intervened on his behalf, wiping out the thugs who had extorted the ownership of "Paradise on Earth." Their bodies were reduced to ash by the blazing flames unleashed by Wu Xiuyun. He Shumin watched helplessly as Wu Xiuyun displayed his might, yearning for the power of a cultivator. He was also incredibly proud that his granddaughter was able to follow Wu Xiuyun in his cultivation.
Xiaoyu reminded Zhou Yuanyuan of this past incident in the He family. Back then, Zhou Yuanyuan was still in Kyoto. After hearing that He Jingjing had followed Wu Xiuyun to cultivate immortality, she nearly wanted to buy a few firecrackers to set off. Just thinking about Kyoto without He Jingjing made Zhou Yuanyuan feel like the air was a lot fresher. Zhou Yuanyuan knew He Jingjing had always been in love with Wen Ziqing. Back when Wen Ziqing was still in Qingshan City, He Jingjing had even traveled from Kyoto to Qingshan City to curry favor with Wen Ziqing's grandmother, Feng Xueying, in order to see him.
For some reason, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't like He Jingjing at all. Perhaps it was because He Jingjing looked down on her? Or was it because He Jingjing kept pestering Wen Ziqing?
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't delve into the specific reasons. She only knew that she and He Jingjing didn't get along. She was too lazy to set foot anywhere He Jingjing was.
But He Jingjing is currently visiting Brother Ziqing? I wonder if they're having a good time chatting. One of life's four great joys is meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
Zhou Yuanyuan knew it was wrong to think this way about Wen Ziqing, but she couldn't help but feel the sourness in her stomach. The moment she remembered He Jingjing sitting across from Wen Ziqing, her initial joy at meeting him vanished without a trace. Zhou Yuanyuan felt a pang of discomfort, as if she had swallowed a fly, whenever she thought of He Jingjing's infatuated eyes, like an ant meeting honey, as she gazed at Wen Ziqing.
She was still worried about whether Brother Ziqing was in danger, but this heartless man was here happily chatting with other women? When Zhou Yuanyuan thought of this, she felt like tears were about to flow.
"Chaos Pearl, let's go somewhere else and see if Taoist Baopu has anything good. Take everything!" Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that she didn't even want to go into Wen Ziqing's place. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she knew this state of mind was wrong. Zhou Yuanyuan had to find something to do to distract herself. Since Wen Ziqing was not in danger for the time being, she decided to take Xiaoyu and the others to search for Taoist Baopu's treasure.
Humph! You captured my brother Ziqing, so I'll make you pay the price. Zhou Yuanyuan childishly transferred her anger to Taoist Baopu.
Xiaoyu wondered why her master's mood had suddenly changed so drastically. He'd been perfectly fine before reaching Jinping Peak, so how could he suddenly become so furious? However, Xiaoyu wisely kept silent. Chaos Pearl was a heartless creature. Upon hearing that its master had agreed to its "treasure-grabbing plan," Chaos Pearl practically jumped for joy and shouted, "Yes, Master!"
The Chaos Pearl was now willing to use its energy and quickly began to scan Jinping Peak.
"Master, there is a forbidden place in the back mountain. There should be good things there." Chaos Pearl exclaimed in surprise.
It's an unwritten rule in the world of cultivation that cultivators will place restrictions in the places they value most, so the owner of the restrictions will be aware of anyone who intrudes. These restrictions are set by the cultivator using his or her own spiritual power, so the Chaos Orb only needs to find the place where spiritual power fluctuates.
When the Chaos Pearl wasn't stingy with its energy, its scanning speed was incredibly fast. There was a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy in the back mountains, and the Chaos Pearl pinpointed it. This forbidden fluctuation of spiritual energy was similar to the one the Chaos Pearl had just sensed in Xiaoyao Peak's main hall. It was clearly the work of Taoist Baopu. It seemed this must be the place Taoist Baopu valued most.
Whenever Chaos Pearl thought about the pile of delicious magic weapons, spiritual stones and spiritual plants hidden by Taoist Baopu, he felt that his mouth was about to water.
"Let's go and grab the magic weapon." Zhou Yuanyuan waved her hand domineeringly, ready to be a queen.
As for Wen Ziqing, Zhou Yuanyuan felt bad just thinking about it and didn't want to see him for the time being.
In Courtyard No. 1, Wen Ziqing wore a cold, icy face, his heart brimming with anxiety. He was utterly annoyed with He Jingjing. He wondered how she'd heard about his presence and come rushing to Jinping Peak early this morning to look for him. Wen Zhu was a fool, actually bringing someone to his own compound. He Jingjing had been staying since around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, almost four hours, and still refused to leave.
The sun was almost setting, and he hadn't practiced all day yet! Without strength, how could he return to the secular world to find his little girl? Wen Ziqing stared at a magnolia tree in the yard, his mind wandering.
Ever since he began practicing, Wen Ziqing had become addicted to the feeling of cultivation. Every time he practiced, the spiritual energy swiftly flowed through his meridians, giving him a surge of hope. He hoped to break free from Taoist Baopu's control through his own strength and return home to Zhou Yuanyuan. Cultivation was Wen Ziqing's best way to increase his strength.
He Jingjing didn't notice Wen Ziqing's impatience at all. In her mind, Wen Ziqing always had a cold, icy face. Seeing this cold yet imposing Wen Ziqing, He Jingjing felt a surge of excitement.
"A thousand miles of love are connected by a thread"! He Jingjing didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now she understands. Even though she and Wen Ziqing have been separated for so long, as long as there is fate between them, they will be together again.
"Brother Ziqing, don't you think we are destined to be together? Even if we come to the place where the gods live, we can still be together." He Jingjing was really happy. Last night, she learned from Wu Xiuyun that Wen Ziqing had also entered the secret realm and became a direct disciple of Elder Baopu of Jinping Peak. The "love" in He Jingjing's heart for Wen Ziqing was rekindled.
Over a month ago, He Jingjing followed Wu Xiuyun to the Langyuan Secret Realm and found everything there fascinating. It was like a place where the gods lived! So many people didn't have the chance to enter, only she, He Jingjing, had this privilege!
