Zhao Yue stopped in front of Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi's courtyard and said seriously, "Father, uncles! Young Master Luo and Young Master Wu are not from our Wusha Kingdom. I know you very much hope that they can join our Zhao family, and even hope that they can become our son-in-law. But Young Master Luo is not someone we can offend, and they will leave in a few days. They are my daughter's guests, so please don't make things difficult for them."
Zhao Yue's father angrily flung his robe and said, "Ridiculous! How could I, Zhao Tian, embarrass a junior?"
Zhao Yue gritted her teeth, still refusing to move aside. "Mr. Luo and Mr. Wu injured Qiu Shuifu and his guards today to help me. I am willing to take responsibility for this matter. Let the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion come and seek revenge on me!"
Zhao Tian's face was filled with anger. "Did you know that the ancestor of the Prime Minister's Mansion broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage a few years ago? Why do you think your grandfather went into seclusion? It's because the royal family has a Nascent Soul Stage elder, the Prime Minister's Mansion has a Nascent Soul Stage master, and now the Imperial Master's Mansion is in danger. That fellow Daoist Luo must be from a prominent family, perhaps an inner disciple of the Imperial Dao Sect. As long as we have a connection with the Imperial Dao Sect, what need do we have in the Imperial Master's Mansion to fear the royal family and the Prime Minister's Mansion? You should think about your family!"
Zhao Yue hesitated for a long time. Just when Zhao Tian was about to break through her and step into the courtyard, she stood in front of him and pleaded bitterly, "Father, Master Luo and Master Wu have helped me a lot along the way. They are just visiting Wusha Country. Why are you bothering them? The affairs of our State Master's Mansion have nothing to do with Master Luo and Master Wu. You are trying to drag them into the quagmire of Wusha Country. You are making your daughter ashamed of her life."
Zhao Tian didn't care about his daughter anymore. He waved his arm, pushed Zhao Yue aside, and walked into the yard.
However...bang!
An invisible barrier appeared outside the yard, blocking Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian had already reached the early stages of the Golden Core stage, yet he still couldn't break through this small barrier. He hesitated for a long time, then finally spoke loudly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Wu, I am Zhao Tian, the head of the Imperial Master's House. I admire your swordsmanship and have come to learn a few moves. Our Imperial Master's House is willing to hire you as guest officials, allowing you to enjoy the training resources of a direct disciple!"
Zhao Tian’s answer was silence.
Zhao Tian shouted outside the yard for a long time, but still got no response.
Zhao Tian waited for a while longer. Seeing that there was still no echo in the courtyard, he laughed heartily and said, "If that's the case, then our meeting is fate. Here are some small gifts. Please accept them, fellow Taoists."
After saying this, Zhao Tian turned and left, leaving only a storage ring at the gate. Before leaving, he glared at his eldest daughter and said coldly, "If you can't serve the family, why are you staying here? You're just a useless person who only knows how to betray your family."
Zhao Yue wanted to speak, but the words were choked in her throat.
The vast procession quickly left Luo Jianqing's courtyard. Zhao Yue stood outside for a moment, then began to laugh. This smile seemed to age him ten years. Zhao Yue bowed toward the courtyard and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed the two young masters' rest today. Although my father is a bit overbearing, he wouldn't force you in public. However, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are not so easy to deal with. I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion has recently become very close to the Imperial Dao Sect. If the two young masters are truly disciples of the Imperial Dao Sect, please make peace with the Prime Minister's Mansion. If not, then please leave the Imperial Dao Sect's territory as soon as possible. Here are some farewell gifts. I will not escort the two young masters out of the city to avoid being discovered."
After saying that, Zhao Yue also left a storage ring on the ground, then turned and left.
Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi heard everything from the initial bustle outside the courtyard to the current desertedness. When Zhao Tian was making a fuss, the two sat opposite each other and sipped tea; when Zhao Yue left, they still lowered their heads and drank.
When it was all over, Luo Jianqing raised his fingers, and two storage rings appeared in his hands. He carefully played with them for a while, then said with a smile, "Master, Madam Lin gave us a very generous farewell gift, even more generous than Zhao Tian's."
Xuan Lingzi held the tea lid in one hand, gently scratching the lingering tea fragrance, and said, "Zhao Tian wants to bribe you and me."
Luo Jianqing nodded in understanding, "He thinks we might be disciples of a large sect, for example... the Yu Dao Sect." After a pause, Luo Jianqing asked, "Master, have you heard of the Yu Dao Sect?"
Xuan Lingzi hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard that among the more than one hundred small sects affiliated with the Feihua Sect, there is one called the Yudao... Sect? I can't remember exactly."
Luo Jianqing didn't think too much about it. After laughing, he said, "Then let's leave tomorrow."
A crescent moon slowly climbed up the night sky, spreading its cool, water-like light to the earth.
The next day, as daylight gradually brightened, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi packed their belongings and prepared to leave the Imperial Master's Mansion and Wusha State. Before leaving, Luo Jianqing insisted on visiting the little girl Rongrong and leaving her some gifts. Xuan Lingzi followed him and walked with him to the courtyard of Madam Lin and her daughter.
At the same time, in the distant Demon Realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of violent spiritual energy storms swept across the entire Demon Realm, centered around the Demon Dao Palace and spreading rapidly like ripples. From the center of the ripples, the insane pressure gradually weakened. But even with this weakening trend, this terrifying force still swept across the entire Demon Realm, even affecting Yunzhou, Cenzhou, and the Thirteen Seas!
Cenzhou, Guiyuanzong.
The Buddhist disciple was reciting Buddhist scriptures with great concentration. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned to look at his master.
