Luo Hanyi immediately recognized the person as Qing Yanjing, Zhou Xingdou's battle slave, and then understood Zhou Xingdou's meaning:
"You're asking Aunt Jing to protect us?"
Zhou Xingdou nodded, then explained to Ning Yue:
“Aunt Jing is the mother of an old friend of mine. She is a grandmaster of formations and can be absolutely trusted. Moreover, her strength has reached the mid-stage of the Supreme Realm. With her help, Aunt Ning, I can feel more at ease.”
In these extraordinary times, Ning Yue did not rigidly adhere to the rules, nor did she show any resistance. Instead, she bowed to Qing Yanjing and said:
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jing."
Qing Yanjing also returned the greeting with a cupped hand:
"You're too kind, fellow Daoist."
Luo Hanyi was extremely happy about this. She knew that Zhou Xingdou was surrounded by powerful figures, so losing Qing Yanjing would not make a difference. She quickly pulled Qing Yanjing to her side.
The main reason is that she knows Zhou Xingdou too well and is really afraid that he might cheat on her. By leaving Qing Yanjing to live with her and Ning Yueze, she has eliminated any suspicion of Zhou Xingdou cheating.
If Zhou Xingdou knew Luo Hanyi's thoughts, he would probably laugh out loud. Haven't you heard that a cunning rabbit has three burrows? Zhou Xingdou has more than three burrows.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Xingdou gave Qing Yanjing a few more instructions before stepping out of the Nine Profound Palace.
With Qing Yanjing protecting him, he didn't need to worry about Luo Hanyi's safety, because Qing Yanjing's strength was beyond measure by realm.
Her system is slightly different from that of the Primordial Era. Although her cultivation level has changed to the mid-stage of the Supreme Realm, her array formation skills have not been restricted too much.
As the number one master of formations in the world, and with the formations of the Nine Profound Peaks at his disposal, Luo Hanyi and Ning Yue can remain unharmed as long as they do not leave the Nine Profound Peaks, or even the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
But this did not put Zhou Xingdou at ease. He was worried not only about Luo Hanyi, but also about his master, Tian Jiu'er.
Even though everyone firmly believed in her strength, Zhou Xingdou still couldn't put his mind at ease. So, before leaving the Nine Profound Palace, Zhou Xingdou asked Ning Yue Zetian where Jiu'er had gone beyond the realm.
Now, stepping out of the Nine Profound Palace, Zhou Xingdou's previously calm expression turned serious, and he asked those behind him:
"You, do you know about the Chaos Domain, the Mi Luo Heaven?"
Zhou Xingdou knew very little about the outer realms, or even nothing at all, but You, a powerful figure who had returned from the outer realms, must know.
The Star Ghost Commander's half-illusory, half-real body appeared behind Zhou Xingdou, and his deep, hoarse voice rang out:
"I know that Miro Heaven is Fifth Master's territory."
Stephen Chow raised an eyebrow:
"Fifth Uncle?"
The only person who could be referred to as Fifth Master by Commander Xingyou is Zhou Wuji's fifth son, Zhou Xingdou's fifth uncle, Zhou Yongye.
This made things much easier for Zhou Xingdou, who immediately spoke in a deep voice to Commander Xingyou:
"You, go to the outer realms for me."
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou took out a black token from his pocket, which was Tian Jiu'er's Nine Profound Token. However, with Aunt Ning Yueze, who was always meddling in other people's business, Zhou Xingdou rarely used the token and kept it without any use.
Zhou Xingdou tossed the order to Commander Xingyou and continued:
"This token contains the original mark of my master. You can use it to find his whereabouts."
When Zhou Xingdou spoke of this week, he paused, a rare look of hesitation appearing on his face, but ultimately seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:
"While you're at it, go find my fifth uncle and tell him... I beg him not to let anything happen to Tian Jiu'er!"
Commander Xingyou accepted the Nine Profound Token, knelt on one knee, and solemnly said:
"You! I will obey the Star Lord's orders and will not fail the Star Lord's trust. I will ensure that nothing happens to my Star Lord master!"
Zhou Xingdou did not delay and immediately ordered Commander Xingyou to leave, since even at Commander Xingyou's speed, it would take some time to reach Mi Luo Tian.
Commander Xingyou didn't waste any more words. He had already understood the importance of Tian Jiu'er from Zhou Xingdou's words. Otherwise, Zhou Xingdou would not have asked him to deliver such pleading words to Zhou Yongye, the fifth master of the Zhou family.
He barely dared to delay for a moment, and in an instant he left the range of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's grand formation, opening the void and disappearing into the world.
Zhou Xingdou did not linger on the mountaintop, but instead transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed towards You Ji's residence.
It wasn't that Zhou Xing was overcome by human desires, but rather that as he stepped out of the giant carriage, You Ji kept giving him hints, as if she had something urgent to tell him.
But with so many people around, Zhou Xingdou could only ignore it. Now, he should ask You Ji what was so urgent about her.
For Zhou Xingdou now, the distance from the mountaintop to the elders' residence is almost instantaneous with his speed.
Unlike Ning Yueze's Yueze Residence, which was quite special, You Ji's residence was very normal. It was a beautiful and exquisite little building, but its dark purple paint made the surrounding light appear somewhat dim.
Since You Ji was his maid, Zhou Xingdou naturally didn't need to pay attention to any etiquette. He didn't even knock on the door and just pushed it open and entered.
The moment he stepped into the building, Youji's alluring figure pounced on him.
Zhou Xingdou didn't stand on ceremony and directly grasped your thin, boneless body. His heavy brows were instantly dissolved by a strange fragrance.
You Ji was dressed in a purple gauze dress, the hem of which was almost transparent. Her eyes were filled with fervor as she looked at Zhou Xingdou, as if she had been looking forward to his arrival for a long time.
The subtle influence of the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal, coupled with the month Zhou Xingdou was away, caused Youji to almost forget her previous fear of Zhou Xingdou, and instead gave rise to endless longing and love.
This made her gaze intently at Zhou Xingdou's face, and she whispered sweetly in his ear:
"Master, I miss you so much."
Zhou Xingdou's expression remained unchanged. He could still distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. You Ji's eyes at that time were not filled with the urgency of longing and desire, but rather with important business to attend to.
What was the matter that you were in such a hurry just now?
Zhou Xingdou's voice was somewhat indifferent. He didn't actually have much love for You Ji and other women; it was just a simple possessiveness and human desire that made it difficult for him to be gentle.
The indifferent voice made You Ji, who was striking a pose, pause, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. She quickly composed herself, but was reluctant to leave Zhou Xingdou's embrace, and whispered:
"There is indeed something concerning the Palace of Punishment Thunder."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou frowned, released You Ji, and sat down at a tea table nearby, but he was not in a hurry.
"What happened at the Punishment Thunder Palace?"
Stephen Chow wasn't in a hurry because he knew that nothing serious had happened yet.
His system did not alert him that Princess Iron Fan was in trouble. As long as Princess Iron Fan was unharmed, the others in the Punishment Thunder Palace would be safe.
Moreover, if the situation were truly urgent enough, Youji wouldn't dare to have the leisure to seduce him, which means it's probably not a big deal yet, or perhaps it hasn't happened yet.
You Ji obediently knelt before Zhou Xingdou, her jade-like hands resting on his legs as she respectfully said:
"A letter was received in the Heavenly Palace of Punishment and Thunder. It is unknown who sent it. It contains only four words: The Heavenly Palace is in danger."
