Chapter 257 was first published by Wen Yujun.
Wen Yu's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Chen Zhizhi to not respond but ask this question instead.
"Central Continent, Gouwu Mountain."
Although he didn't understand why Zhizhi asked this, Wenyu answered truthfully without hiding anything.
The relationship between her and Zhizhi should naturally be as frank as that between her and Zhibai.
"When do we need to arrive?" Chen Zhizhi asked immediately.
Wen Yu frowned, pondering carefully, and then stated his latest expectation: "Before the New Year."
This is also the deadline assigned by Emperor Huang.
I originally thought that Chen Zhizhi was asking this for some other purpose, but I didn't expect that as soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, Chen Zhizhi put his arm around Wen Yu's waist without hesitation.
"It's still early in the new year! Auntie, we haven't seen each other for a hundred years. Please, auntie."
Chen Zhizhi gritted his teeth, threw away all his dignity and reserve, and began to beg in tears in front of everyone.
She had traveled all over the world for many years and had always been paying attention to news about her aunt. Now that she had the good fortune to meet her aunt, she naturally could not miss it.
What's more, she had made a promise in front of Jiang Yang's juniors early on that she would find her aunt within their lifetime.
"Auntie—" Chen Zhizhi cried out, her voice full of emotion and tears streaming down her face.
Wen Yu had thought of many response plans, but the only thing he didn't expect was the current situation.
Chen Zhizhi cried and made a fuss, with tears in her eyes, she hugged Wen Yu's waist with both hands to prevent her from moving, and cried to Wen Yu with her face up.
Wen Yu, who had never seen such a scene before, stood there stiffly for a moment.
In the past, in the Spring Temple, it was only her, her master, and Chi Huang who acted unreasonably. Later, in Jiangyang Mansion, Song Linsheng and everyone else indulged her temper. Later, when they arrived at the Rebirth Inn, Yu Chang tidied up everything around them so that no one would bother her.
Wen Yu's eyelashes trembled and she was uneasy. She looked at Chen Zhizhi in front of her as if she was looking at her former self.
How could she say no?
After a long silence, Wen Yu raised her sleeve and brushed across Chen Zhizhi's fluffy hair, chewing on those three words over and over in her heart.
Jiangyang Mansion, a place she had never returned to in the past three hundred years.
At that time, Song Linsheng died. In order to ask for his reincarnation, she went straight to the Netherworld to ask Xie Bian for help, and then became Meng Po in the Reincarnation Department.
After that, he stayed by the Naihe Bridge for three hundred years, never leaving the Rebirth Inn, let alone returning to the human world and visiting Jiangyang again.
At that time, those things and those people must have already withered away like leaves in the wind.
After some thought, Wen Yu spoke with difficulty, but agreed without hesitation.
"I'll go back to Jiangyang Mansion with you."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhizhi's wailing stopped abruptly, as if everything that had just happened had never happened. She immediately stood up and took Wen Yu's hand, repeatedly confirming, "Auntie, are you serious?"
If she really meant it, wouldn't she be halfway to success?
Wen Yu moved the corners of her lips, and seeing her lively appearance, she couldn't help but force a smile.
Perhaps she was tricked by the little girl Zhizhi.
But since she had already agreed, she would not go back on her word. Wen Yu nodded and answered affirmatively:
"Yeah, seriously."
After saying this, Wen Yu seemed to think of something and asked curiously, "But this Jiangyang Mansion you mentioned..."
"Same as before!" Chen Zhizhi said excitedly, but then felt that he hadn't explained it in detail enough, so he quickly added, "I mean, same as when my aunt was there."
Time passed, dynasties changed, and hundreds of years later, Jiangyang Prefecture still retained its original name. Wen Yu was a little surprised.
But there are so many things going on right now that I don’t have time to pursue this matter, Wen Yu thought to himself.
"Then..." Chen Zhizhi glanced at Yu Chang with a slightly timid look and asked weakly, "Master Yu Chang, do you want to go with your aunt?"
When asked suddenly, Yu Chang suppressed his expression and replied to Chen Zhizhi, "Of course."
"Then..." Chen Zhizhi pointed at Su Jianbai on the side and continued to test him, "Could you please untie this fellow Su Jianbai first?"
Yu Chang's eyebrows twitched, and his gaze turned to Su Jianbai, whose tail was still nailed, and then looked at Wen Yu beside him, as if asking for his opinion.
Wen Yu naturally had nothing to say. She simply raised her hand to signal Yu Chang to do as she was told. She only wanted to clarify one point with Zhi Zhi: "Is he traveling with us too?"
Chen Zhizhi shook his head and couldn't help but turn around to glance at Su Jianbai, who was stroking his newly freed tail and Yu Chang, who had just retracted his magical powers. He then replied to Wen Yu, "It's up to him to continue traveling the mortal world or return to Yousu. It's none of my business."
"I will go back to Jiangyang only with my aunt and Lord Yu Chang." Chen Zhizhi continued to hold Wen Yu's arm, smiling sweetly and acting coquettishly.
But as soon as these words came out, Su Jianbai immediately threw away the tail he cherished like a treasure, and in the blink of an eye he came to Chen Zhizhi and hurriedly retorted: "Who said I want to go back to You Su?"
"I've only fulfilled my promise to you three times now." Su Jianbai was anxious, angry, and panicked. He almost grabbed Chen Zhizhi's sleeve. "I'm not a person who breaks my promise."
But Chen Zhizhi, whose mind and eyes were filled with only her aunt, was not interested in hearing Su Jianbai's words. She just listened to them briefly and replied casually, "So what do you think? Anyway, I don't have time to play with you right now."
She needs to accompany her aunt to visit Jiangyang again.
Chen Zhizhi smiled, and the more he looked at Wen Yu, the happier he became.
If my mother knew that my aunt had returned, she would probably be very happy, and she might even not care about her father's reincarnation.
She had previously agreed with the fox to catch him seven times, but now three times was almost enough. Did she really have to chase him forever?
The aunt she had been looking forward to day and night was right in front of her, and she no longer had the leisure time she had before!
Unlike Chen Zhizhi's free and easy attitude, Su Jianbai's lips moved for a long time, but he still couldn't utter any complete words.
Wen Yu pursed her lips and said nothing, her inquiring gaze sweeping back and forth between Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai, not intending to interfere in the affairs of the two little guys.
Su Jianbai lived up to his name, with a fair and charming face. But now his complexion was alternately green and red, which was quite interesting to watch.
"I, I..." Su Jianbai was anxious and annoyed, and he only regretted that he couldn't say it out loud.
But when he saw Chen Zhizhi, the little Taoist, who refused to even look at him and only stared at Wen Yu with shining eyes, Su Jianbai could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart.
He simply closed his eyes and concentrated, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "I want to go back to Jiangyang with you!"
Wen Yu and Yu Chang beside her looked at each other and saw a playful look in each other's eyes.
This Su Jianbai really...has no good intentions...
Su Jianbai mustered up the courage to shout, then closed his eyes tightly and dared not move. He was like a fully drawn bow, with everything from head to toe, even the fur on his tail, stretched stiffly.
Having not heard any response, he could not help but open his eyes slightly. When the dim light came on, he saw Chen Zhizhi turning around.
Zhizhi, not knowing what was going on, glanced at Su Jianbai in surprise. She had no idea what kind of madness he had committed, but she wasn't completely disgusted by it either. She casually agreed, "As you wish."
Jiangyang Mansion is not Chen Zhizhi's Jiangyang Mansion alone. Of course, anyone who wants to go can go. Why bother reporting to her?
Chen Zhizhi didn't think too much about it, and continued to turn his head to look at his aunt with stars in his eyes, "Aunt, why don't we go out and talk about it?"
This cave is crowded and damp, and it is not a good place to reminisce.
She was just trapped here and had no choice. Now that she has her aunt to protect her, she doesn't want to suffer here.
"Then it's a deal..." Su Jianbai hadn't finished speaking when he saw Chen Zhizhi talking to Wen Yu. He was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Aunt?" Chen Zhizhi pulled Wen Yu's sleeve and shook it, speaking again.
Yu Chang raised his sleeve to stop Chen Zhizhi's movements, and then used his magical power to tidy up the fox fur for Wen Yu, leaving Chen Zhizhi standing there in amazement with his hands empty and not knowing where to put them.
This underground cave is cold, damp, and windy, so Wen Yu must not catch a cold.
After doing all this, Yu Chang raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yu's face quietly.
Wen Yu exchanged glances with Yu Chang, then turned to look at Tai Hao and Dan Qing who were a few steps behind.
These two people were almost forgotten by her.
If we go by the seniority in the Eastern Heaven Court, Emperor Taihao is the main god of her master, Lord Jumang, so she is naturally a junior. She cannot leave without saying goodbye in front of Emperor Taihao, as that would be too rude.
But if she were to say what she wanted, Wen Yu's eyes flickered, and she really wanted to leave.
She couldn't bear to face a face that looked exactly like Song Linsheng all the time, not to mention that this person was the owner of the Immortal Tree that she had destroyed.
She has important tasks to attend to and cannot be trapped by Emperor Taihao, so she should escape if possible.
"This is my personal matter. Emperor Taihao doesn't have to go with me, right?" Wen Yu frowned coldly and said without any warmth.
His white robe fluttered and his face was as handsome as jade.
Tai Hao, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly heard Wen Yu's question. A hint of movement appeared in his silent eyes. He opened his lips slightly and was about to say something.
"Of course." Yu Chang took over the conversation calmly, not giving Tai Hao a chance to speak. "Once we leave the East Heaven Court, Zhuoying Palace can no longer control the affairs of Chunshen Palace."
Tai Hao, who was interrupted, frowned and remained silent, his face expressionless, as if there was no major change in his emotions. He just looked at Wen Yu calmly and ignored Yu Chang.
But compared to Taihao's calmness, Danqing beside him is not as well-mannered.
The pair of green horns on Danqing's forehead shone with a cold light, containing an elusive dangerous color, but his green hair made him look furry and soft.
Amidst the two diametrically opposed temperaments, Dan Qing retorted indignantly, "Then what do you have to do with the Spring Temple?"
Looking at the man in front of him called Yu Chang, Dan Qing showed his dragon tail without showing any weakness.
He knew that Yu Chang was just a silver-white dragon and there was nothing to worry about.
If he wins, he has a chance of winning.
Dan Qing refused to give in. He had waited for hundreds of years for his master to return, and he would never allow this little demon with no background to bully his master.
The violent storm caused by his movements immediately swept through every corner of the cave, making the already limited space seem even more cramped.
The sharp sound of wind blew past his face. Yu Chang closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the dragon's tail with hard scales also revealed its true form with bursts of silver light.
He has nothing to do with the Temple of Spring, but the relationship between him and Wen Yu is difficult to explain in a few words.
Yu Chang frowned, a gloomy mood filled his eyes, and he didn't want to say much to Qinglong.
Two figures, one in blue and one in white, were facing each other in the air. Although there were not many words, the meaning of the confrontation in the air was self-evident.
The situation is tense and ready to explode.
"Yu Chang." Wen Yu raised her sleeves to block Yu Chang's way, protecting him while turning back to call out to him, "Calm down."
The one facing him was not someone else, but Dan Qing, the mount of Emperor Taihao.
It is not an ordinary monster, and it cannot be provoked casually.
The cave was extremely narrow at the moment, and she was afraid that in a moment, Dan Qing would turn the place upside down.
Even if all this is put aside for now, the Spring Temple cannot be at odds with the Zhuoying Temple. Although she does not want to have too much interaction with Emperor Taihao, she still has to do some courtesy.
She didn't want to embarrass her master when she was out.
"Emperor—" Wen Yu called politely, looking at the man with burning eyes.
Seeing Wen Yu move, Tai Hao's calm eyes flickered slightly, as if his heart was also moving with Wen Yu's call, but he reacted very quickly and immediately regained his calm.
Tai Hao glanced at Yu Chang in silence, but he ignored him and seemed unwilling to say another word.
With just a glance, Taihao didn't need to say anything, Danqing immediately understood what his master meant.
Looking at the arrogant silver-white dragon in front of him, although reluctant, Dan Qing still restrained his edge and retreated obediently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Yu expressed his gratitude according to etiquette.
Tai Hao lowered his eyes, his mind unclear, and whispered, "Wen Yujun..."
Wen Yu originally thought that Tai Hao had something else to explain, but after listening carefully, there was no sound at all.
Just like that time at the edge of Duanyun, Emperor Taihao only called her name but said nothing else.
An inexplicable silence spread, like a dark cloud covering the city, leaving Wen Yu confused.
If he wanted to talk about the Immortal Tree, she might not be able to end it well.
After some hesitation, Wen Yu decided to hide as far away as possible. "If the Emperor has nothing else to tell you, I will take my leave."
After saying this, without waiting for his reaction, Wen Yu turned around, grabbed Yu Chang's hand and quickly turned around and left, her steps hurriedly and without hesitation.
Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai, who were unaware of the truth, looked around and saw the so-called Emperor Taihao and his mount Danqing standing silently, seemingly with no intention of chasing them.
So, the two of them said goodbye with a smile and flew away in the direction Wen Yu left.
For a moment, the originally crowded cave suddenly became empty, with only Taihao and Danqing left there.
Looking at the fleeting corner of the clothes, as resolute as when it was at the edge of the broken clouds, Tai Hao's brows moved, and the doubt in his heart was self-evident.
He wanted to say.
Take care on your journey.
