Lu Yunzhu gave an ambiguous cold snort, not bothering to speak more.

Zhu Nanzhi leaned close to Mu Qingyue with great curiosity: "What does that mean?"

Mu Qingyue explained a little, and then Zhu Nanzhi looked at Lu Yunzhu with an odd expression... This is too absurd, right?

Everyone's cultivating immortality, it's easy to see someone's bloodline at first glance, how can there be such an absurd thought?

"I wouldn't dare think like that," Mu Qingyue whispered.

"Normally, who would think like that?" Zhu Nanzhi glanced at Lu Yunzhu, but then had a thought; ten years ago, Lu Yunzhu dared to confront her husband... well, not a normal person.

But... what is the source of this suspicion?

Zhu Nanzhi's hidden yandere personality made her thoughts disperse; could Lu Yunzhu be a person who fabricates facts?

Considering this, Zhu Nanzhi pulled Mu Qingyue aside to whisper.

Lu Yunzhu glanced at Zhu Nanzhi a few times, after all, there are similarities with her.

She chuckled softly, sipping tea without speaking further.

Pei Wanyu didn't think much, and turned to talk with Xiao Yinruo: "You know that recently Jin'an's external reputation isn't good, so Sect Master Zheng is preparing to step in and vouch."

"At that time, you should clarify a bit with your status as Qingmiao Palace Master, to prevent people from repeatedly coming to Wandao Sect trying to admonish."

Xiao Yinruo lightly nodded: "What is that child thinking after all?"

"He has it figured out in his heart." Pei Wanyu smiled slightly: "I know you all worry, but don't worry, he understands deep down that enjoyment can only take root and sprout on the foundation of peace."

"Alright, finally a genius emerges, you as a Master should keep an eye, don't let anything go wrong."

"I understand." Pei Wanyu's eyes flashed with a smile, suddenly leaning close to Xiao Yinruo's ear and whispered: "Lu Yunzhu has no idea about you and Jin'an's relationship, isn't that strange?"

As the words fell, she noticed Xiao Yinruo first showed not confusion, but a bright-eyed expression.

Indeed...

I guessed correctly!

This friend of mine is thinking of exciting things again!

Pei Wanyu looked at Xiao Yinruo with a smile that was not a smile, reacting, Xiao Yinruo rolled his eyes at her: "Nonsense!"

"What did I say?"

Xiao Yinruo couldn't be bothered with this friend who likes to watch the fun, but thought to himself, after the three of them traveled together, their relationship indeed became much closer.

Otherwise, I might still be secretly teased by Wanyu as being improper.

Pei Wanyu gave Lu Yunzhu a meaningful glance, thinking to herself although she secretly told Yinruo, with Lu Yunzhu's cultivation, she should sense something.

But Lu Yunzhu showed no difference... Why can't she see through Jin'an and Yinruo's relationship?

Interesting~

Lu Yunzhu rubbed the rim of the cup with her fingertips, frowning slightly: "What?"

"Nothing much."

"Heh..." Lu Yunzhu snorted once, then glanced at Mu Qingyue not far away, speaking lightly: "Mu Qingyue, how about a spar in Sword Dao?"

Since no one believes, then intensify their suspicion a bit, thus... naturally someone will chase after curiosity.

Mu Qingyue looked at Lu Yunzhu and nodded slightly.

Zhu Nanzhi was quite interested, while Pei Wanyu lost interest and left Fuyao Inn with Xiao Yinruo.

"Will the other Sect Leaders of the Five Sects and Seven Schools also cooperate with Sect Master Zheng to clarify?" Xiao Yinruo asked softly.

"Qi Huizu probably won't."

"Him..." Xiao Yinruo lightly furrowed his brows: "Before in the Eastern Dynasty, he always opposed Jin'an, could it be he was countered by his wife who was possessed by the Upper Realm?"

"He's merely atoning."

"Atoning?"

Xiao Yinruo's expression froze, then shook his head without saying more.

"Let's go, first go clarify."

······

Eastern Realm, Lin Yuan Domain, Lin Yuan Sword Sect.

Sect Master Qi Huizu stood in the Sword Dao Plaza, with his hands behind him watching the sect disciples practicing swordsmanship below, expressionless.

Elder Jian Qiong stood behind him, whispering, "Sect Master, Grand Sect Master Zheng and others vouched for Saint Lu not long ago, claiming he's not fallen from grace, and Grand Sect Master Zheng even offers his life as a guarantee. Are you perhaps..."

He cautiously looked at Qi Huizu, implying more than he said.

If the Sect Master does not intervene, the camaraderie of the Five Sects and Seven Schools will look like a joke, and now that Saint Lu's momentum is building, he'll soon become the Sect Master of Wandao Sect. Even if not cordial, relations shouldn't become strained.

"How many people have left Wandao Sect?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"A lot." Elder Jian Qiong promptly replied, "But there are still those who doubt... After all, ever since Saint Lu returned from the Two Realms Pass, he's stayed in the midst of that rouge pile."

"I don't believe it either." Qi Huizu turned to look at Elder Jian Qiong, "After all, once he returned from the Two Realms Pass, he immediately embedded himself among those foxes. If he truly had his mind set, why would he allow himself to be so lost?"

Elder Jian Qiong's face changed slightly, "Sect Master, you still want to reprimand Saint Lu? I think that's not appropriate...

You are the world's First Sword Immortal. If your words are too harsh, wouldn't that backfire?"

"Humans, only they can choose to fall." Qi Huizu's eyes were indifferent, "He's now shouldering the future of the Human Clan, how can he fall so short?"

Elder Jian Qiong opened his mouth to speak, but Qi Huizu continued, "Even if Grand Sect Master Zheng guarantees with his life, he is of the past, and the future is in Lu Jin'an's hands. Once the elder passes, how Jin'an acts is up to him, is it not?"

"But..."

"Husband is right." Ji Shuang walked gracefully, gently wrapping her arm around Qi Huizu's, "If Saint Lu indulges in degradation because of husband's words, who could be blamed?"

Qi Huizu looked down at Ji Shuang, smiling slightly, "Indeed, if he can't even listen to well-intentioned advice that's hard to hear, even if he becomes an immortal, he won't ascend to Divine Concealment."

Ji Shuang nodded, "Back when he survived a sword from the Upper Realm Sword Immortal with his Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation, he began to act wantonly. The Three Dynasties' affairs were like this, and so is the current situation. If no one advises him, he will eventually destroy himself."

"Mm."

"In that case..." Ji Shuang slowly said, "Husband, write a letter to admonish him, and I will go out and make a trip. There must be others who don't want Saint Lu to fall from grace."

"Alright." Qi Huizu nodded, "Make sure to gather these people together, so they won't be oppressed by Wandao Sect...

Grand Sect Master Zheng, though admirable, is now old. Now that Lu Jin'an has emerged, we can't be too harsh; we must remind him more often."

"Hmm..." Ji Shuang lowered her gaze gently, "No time to delay, I will handle this now."

"Safe travels."

Watching Ji Shuang's departing figure, Qi Huizu remained silent for a long time before speaking, "Jian Qiong, go and call Wan Hui, Zhai Hang... bring them here."

At these words, Elder Jian Qiong's expression shifted, for the names from the Sect Master's mouth were all Divine Hidden Sword Immortals within the sect...

What is the Sect Master planning?

Elder Jian Qiong's expression varied, but he still hurried to bring them over.

"Sect Master brother, what's the matter?"

"Go to the Fox Clan." Qi Huizu said flatly, "The Fox Clan is in chaos now, with ill intentions sending fox spirits to seduce Saint Lu. We must demand an explanation."

Wan Hui raised his eyebrows, "Sect Master, though we've signed a hundred-year peace agreement with the Demon Clan, there shouldn't be much trouble visiting their clan openly, but is it appropriate to meddle openly in Fox Clan affairs?"

"The Demon Clan includes the Fox Clan, but do the Four Great Fox Clans exalt themselves as the Demon Clan?"

"That's true..."

"Let's go." Qi Huizu rose with sword control, "We must take some action to prevent the Wandao Sect from repeating the fall of the Immortal Dynasty."

Sword shadows soared into the sky, heading straight for the Western Realm.

Meanwhile, within the Jingfengyuan Cyan Dragon Palace.

Cang Qinglong Saint looked at Jun Bingquan, who was kneeling below, and said plainly, "You must bring Zhiyu back. If Wandao Sect won't release her, you'll die there. Understood?"

Jun Bingquan replied solemnly, "This little dragon will not fail the mission!"

As Jun Bingquan turned and left the Dragon Palace, his face was clouded with worry. How did Lu Jin'an end up like this?

Are the foxes of Qingqiu really that capable of charming hearts?

Jun Ling rushed over, "Are we really bringing Zhiyu back? Will the Demon Lord spare her once she's back?"

"That's the Clan Leader's order." Jun Bingquan took a deep breath, "And... there's no other way, isn't there?

You and I are ultimately of the Dragon Clan, while Lu Jin'an belongs to the Human Clan. They cannot coexist, and an outcome must be determined."

"Alright then..." Jun Ling nodded with regret, "Make sure she eats well in Wandao Sect, because once she's back, there won't be much to eat."

"Sure."
