Chapter 869 -873: Perilous Situations

Beneath the moonlight, there was a scarcely noticeable thread, referred to by the folk diviners as the Thread of the matchmaking god. Zhu Minglang, known as the “hidden star god” beside the Moon, had his starlight entwined with this thread, and it seemed that among the divine blessings of fortune and success, the prosperity of human paths was also a gift of virtue bestowed upon Zhu Minglang…

Old Heavenly Father, just like Zhu Heavenly Officer, wished Zhu Minglang to flourish and propagate.

And indeed, things developed in that way.

There was no stopping it.

The most infuriating part was that after the young master committed such outrageous acts, one still had to help him cover up his crimes—this was simply outrageous…

Li Xinghua was indeed angry, or she wouldn’t have spoken to Zhu Minglang like that just now.

But she had no other choice and could only hope that Zhu Minglang’s sophistry would be more sophisticated, at least not like this.

Having straightened his clothes, Zhu Minglang now appeared neat and splendid, his handsome and clean attire indeed good at concealing a person’s true nature.

“Stop.”

As Li Xinghua walked slowly with Zhu Minglang, they suddenly stopped under a towering silver maple.

Zhu Minglang also halted his steps.

At that moment, through the gaps between the leaves, a group of Demi-gods dressed in the apparel of the God Forbidden Army flew past on a Yellow Dragon. They looked downwards, while Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua were conveniently hidden by the silver maple.

After a moment, Li Xinghua walked forward again. She casually picked an extremely fragrant Eulalia flower and smeared its petal juice on a stone statue before heading towards another secluded courtyard path.

Almost as Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua disappeared at the end of the path, a figure wearing a mask and tiger-skin clothes, with wings on his back, landed bizarrely at the spot of the stone statue. He sniffed at the spot, and discovering it was just an Eulalia flower casually placed on the sculpture, he wriggled his head—its intense fragrance confusing his sense of smell, uncertain where to search next.

Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua had already reached the Temple of All Living Beings, where many devotees from different parts of God Country were attending. These visitors, variously dressed, were mostly believers from birth, devout in worship, and about five thousand such chosen believers were permitted daily to visit the temple…

Although these people were now remaining inside the Temple of All Beings, they continued to worship under the guidance of God’s people and God’s Descendants; divine matters would not spread to these common folks.

Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua walked among these crowds when Zhu Minglang suddenly felt a gaze, as if staring from afar…

Zhu Minglang became alert.

He realized he was being targeted by someone with a potent Divine Sense!

It was similar to when Knowledge Saint Honor had spied on him before.

Zhu Minglang could now counterattack with a sword, but acting now would completely expose himself.

“Act naturally, make yourself look just like these people,” Li Xinghua said.

Zhu Minglang nodded and, emulating the devout believers, walked and worshipped slowly.

The prying gaze persisted, feeling like someone high up was viewing the entire area, but with him in the crowd, they were unable to lock onto him.

If he were in some open or less crowded place, that gaze would have spotted him immediately…

The stay at the Temple of All Beings wasn’t long, right after they stepped out, the entire temple was suddenly surrounded by a dense formation of the God Forbidden Army, trapping all the devotees inside without a chance to leave.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

So precise!

His movements were being closely monitored by the other party.

Xuan Ge had not been this precise in locating him when at Mist Spring Mountain.

That meant, the search party this time wasn’t just Xuan Ge; there were others with similar capabilities, clearly seeing his hiding place.

Grasping Li Xinghua’s hand, Zhu Minglang was deeply moved.

Without Xinghua, he would have been caught hundreds of times!

The pursuers were just that little bit slow, almost immediately after Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua stepped away, the area was sealed, or some powerful mystic figures appeared!

“Can I explain… make my case now?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“First, let’s get you out of here,” Li Xinghua said.

Xinghua, truly the most caring, Zhu Minglang was increasingly moved, also feeling a rising sense of guilt and wrongdoings internally.

Wait, that’s not right, this isn’t his responsibility, it’s Xuan Ge’s fault—why should he feel guilty!

…

Eventually, they reached Behind the Temple Hill, where the Xuan Ge Temple housed various rare and exotic beasts.

“If someone comes to inquire, just say you’ve been here taming dragons since the duel, and someone will vouch for you,” Li Xinghua had arranged things perfectly. Her tone, however, was so similar to Li Yunzi’s, Zhu Minglang even started to confuse the two.

Apparently, an angry Li Xinghua was much like the typically cold demeanor of Li Yunzi.

“Oh, oh, then I’ll explain further when I get back, Xinghua. You trust me the most, right?” Zhu Minglang said to Li Xinghua.

“Now you have a whole afternoon to think over your excuses.”

“…” Zhu Minglang gave a bitter smile.

Even Xinghua didn’t believe him.

It seemed she was truly upset.

Li Yunzi had just competed with Linghu Ling this morning.

It occurred to her that Linghu Ling had acted only after seeing the Sword Spirit Dragon, and naturally, Li Yunzi understood that Zhu Minglang’s phrase “simply accompanying” was somewhat misleading.

The jealousy had not subsided when Li Xinghua awoke, and she probably still harbored those emotions. Consequently, this news arrived immediately afterward.

The Xuange God…

Linghu Ling in the morning, Xuange God in the afternoon.

This streak of encounters is just too much!

One could spend the entire day dealing with these women associated with the young master in ways too complicated to explain clearly!

How could Li Xinghua not be angry?

…

After Li Xinghua had left, Zhu Minglang wandered around the woods behind the hill all by himself, utterly bored.

Soon, Zhu Minglang sensed his pact, like an invisible thread leading him in a certain direction.

It wasn’t long before Zhu Minglang saw a Little Gold Dragon, its mouth full of colorful phoenix feathers and its body clad in various rare beast furs, flapping towards him before crashing into his arms.

Shortly thereafter, the Nuwa Dragon and the Peach Demon Deer Dragon arrived. Upon seeing Zhu Minglang, they visibly relaxed. It felt as if a mother and sister, tormented by the family’s Little Divine Beast, were finally seeing the father who could calm down their mischievous little demon.

“My colorful phoenix, my colorful phoenix… What kind of creature are you to let your dragon chew on my colorful phoenix? You’ve been obsessing over it all day!” a young man came running up furiously, pointing at Zhu Minglang’s nose and scolding him.

Zhu Minglang had not yet had the chance to speak when footsteps approached from behind.

Zhu Minglang turned around and saw Xuange herself, Knowledge Saint Honor, and a mysterious man in tiger-skin clothing.

They were clearly coming for him.

“Sister, sister, you must stand up for me! This guy is outrageously bold, using Divine Beasts cherished by our temple to train dragons. My colorful phoenix has turned into a bald chicken, all because of this Little Gold Dragon!” The young man saw Xuange and burst into tears, running to her and pleading his case.

Xuange’s gaze was cold as she watched Zhu Minglang.

From the general outline, Zhu Minglang fit the description.

But she could not confirm it directly.

Knowledge Saint Honor also looked at Zhu Minglang, his eyes showing a trace of disappointment.

If Master Zhu was indeed within this temple’s precincts, then it would be hard for him to clear his name.

“Master Zhu, could you tell us where you were an hour ago?” Knowledge Saint Honor still followed procedure and asked sternly.

“Has something happened?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

“Please just tell us,” Knowledge Saint Honor said.

Mi Rong had just asked Knowledge Saint Honor about the Mysterious Ancient Weapon, and Knowledge Saint Honor had told him. However, he did not expect Mi Rong would actually bring Zhu Minglang into the Divine Palace…

Therefore, Knowledge Saint Honor understood it as Mi Rong being outrageously bold, taking Zhu Minglang to the Divine Palace to inspect the Mysterious Ancient Weapon, and Zhu Minglang being audacious enough to take another opportunity to peep at Xuange’s body!

“After the competition, I was here training dragons in the hills behind the temple the whole time,” Zhu Minglang explained.

“The whole time?” Knowledge Saint Honor emphasized the word.

“Yes, here the entire time. I have a Little Gold Dragon that was just born not long ago. Recently, with many matters to attend to and unable to leave the capital, I could only train the Young Dragons here behind the temple,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Song Xi, is what he is saying true? Have you seen him here?” Xuange God coldly questioned her brother Song Xi.

Upon hearing this, Song Xi immediately nodded frantically, “That’s him, his Golden Dragon, from this morning until now, has been terrorizing our Little Divine Beasts. It has injured a hundred, if not eighty of them since morning, tormenting them until now. Sister, you must punish him severely, he should not be let off lightly!”

Xuange God’s brows furrowed as she stared at her brother.

Knowledge Saint Honor also scrutinized Song Xi.

A Mechanist, a Prophet.

Both could confirm that Song Xi was not lying.

It seemed then, that Zhu Minglang had indeed been training dragons here since early morning.

Song Xi also proved to be a loyal brother, wanting to ensure Zhu Minglang faced a harsher punishment. He had specially brought over the injured Little Divine Beasts to show the wounds to Xuange God and Knowledge Saint Honor.

From the condition of the wounds, the time could roughly be estimated.

Though Zhu Minglang had not been at the scene of the crime, his presence in a place that wasn’t in compliance with the rules wasn’t necessarily unexplainable, as he was coordinating with Li Yunzi to handle the matters concerning Ming Meng God, and waiting here for Li Yunzi was somewhat reasonable.

“Master Zhu, this place behind the temple hill is a treasure land, not your hunting ground, and these Divine Beasts are my favorite pets…” Xuange was somewhat disappointed yet slightly relieved, merely chiding Zhu Minglang without expression.

“It was careless of me, I apologize,” Zhu Minglang earnestly admitted his mistake.

“Sister, you must punish him severely, this big villain and his naughty little dragon!” Song Xi, seeing that his sister was not taking his side, was on the verge of tears.

“Enough, go and take care of the injured precious beasts,” Xuange said coldly. Normally, she might have consoled him, but now she was too upset and distracted to cater to her brother’s feelings.
