CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 245: IN FRONT OF THE MASTER, AUNT RUO SNEAKS AROUND_4

"Candle Dragon..." Xiao Yinruo looked at Pei Wanyu: "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons, does Yuan Li have the ancestral bloodline of the Candle Dragon?"

Pei Wanyu shook her head: "If Yuan Li truly had the ancestral bloodline, how could the Dragon Clan bear to place her on the Dragon Clan Altar?"

"Then how is it connected to the Candle Dragon?" Xiao Yinruo looked out at the drizzling rain: "Do you really know nothing?"

Pei Wanyu rolled her eyes at her and was just about to speak when Xiao Yinruo smiled slightly: "That’s right, you’re not in Divine Concealment now."

"Haha." Pei Wanyu sneered: "Do you think you’re my match just because you’ve entered Divine Concealment?"

Xiao Yinruo said meaningfully: "To some extent, yes."

"Want to try?"

"I will try."

Lu Jin’an listened to the confrontation between the two elders, thought for a moment, and said: "I’m going to check on Fang Xiuqi. Master, Aunt Ruo, you should return to the Flying Boat first."

With that, Lu Jin’an quickly left the hall, fearing that Aunt Ruo would provoke her Master on the way back later.

Pei Wanyu watched Lu Jin’an’s departing back, silently paused, and asked: "You’re going to Wandao Sect to remove the empathy cast on Qingyue, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Yinruo said plainly: "Now that I’ve broken through to Divine Concealment, there’s no need for empathy anymore."

She’s already agreed with Jin’an, besides, why should Qingyue suffer because of empathy?

She truly dislikes that kind of pain, and there probably aren’t many women in the world who do.

"When are you leaving?"

Xiao Yinruo continued to ask, clearly having agreed with Jin’an to be with her after coming out, but in the past two days Jin’an has been either cultivating or cultivating, and she herself couldn’t bear to disturb them, so it was delayed until now.

Pei Wanyu frowned slightly: "In such a hurry?"

"Or wait for Jin’an to suffer when he returns to Qingyue?" Xiao Yinruo walked out: "Besides, you were the one who wanted me to empathize to breakthrough, now that I have entered Divine Concealment, you should be relieved."

"Of course I’m anxious." Pei Wanyu said expressionlessly: "But I’m curious, was your entry into Divine Concealment in the Qinglian Secret Realm really just a simple epiphany?"

Jin’an told you a lot of things that I bet you’ve heard before, so why did you only listen to him?"

Xiao Yinruo turned to look at Pei Wanyu, sighed lightly in her heart, Wanyu was still not giving up on this matter.

What a strange thing... Wanyu is quite generous to Nanzhi and Qingyue, yet so wary when it comes to her?

Is it because both she and Wanyu are Jin’an’s elders?

Or is it because they both have more charm than Nanzhi and Qingyue, so she’s afraid she might take away part of Jin’an’s affection?

At this thought, Xiao Yinruo chuckled lightly: "I once said, only fools fall in love. Do I look like a fool?"

Pei Wanyu looked at the ethereal and cool Xiao Yinruo, thought for a moment, then asked back: "Don’t you?"

"Haha." Xiao Yinruo stepped out of the hall: "I won’t displease you."

Pei Wanyu’s eyelids drooped slightly, should Qingyue leave the Taichu Hall early?

······

Lu Jin’an made his way to the East Slope Confucian Academy’s quarters. On this trip to the Secret Realm, the East Slope Confucian Academy suffered heavy casualties, even the chief Fang Xiuqi had his entire cultivation crippled by Fan Zhouxing. Now the Dean Zi Moju has personally come, but who knows if there will be any solution.

Walking into the courtyard, Lu Jin’an looked at the other peers from the East Slope Confucian Academy: "Where is your chief?"

"Saint Lu, the chief senior brother is in the back courtyard, we are just afraid he might despair and jump off a mountain..."

"Exaggerated, I’ll go have a look."

Lu Jin’an went to the backyard, stood beside Fang Xiuqi who was by the lake: "What did Dean Zi say?"

Fang Xiuqi smiled: "My Vast Righteous Seal was borrowed by Fan Zhouxing. He called it borrowing, but unfortunately that old dog Emperor Shitian refuses to return it."

"Didn’t you find it in the Qinglian Secret Realm?"

"Probably used it against Kong Wu." Fang Xiuqi shook his head: "But to think even with my Harmonization late stage Vast Righteous Seal I could kill a Late Divine Presence Buddha, I must say I’m quite amazing."

Lu Jin’an nodded: "Indeed."

Fang Xiuqi chuckled, and then Lu Jin’an said: "How about switching to Body Refinement cultivation?"

Fang Xiuqi was taken aback, then stroked his chin: "Seems doable... But even if I do, I might not complete the Nine Star Dao Palace."

"Forget it, I’ll live as long as I can, maybe someday there’ll be a way."

Lu Jin’an smiled: "Indeed."

Fang Xiuqi looked at the lake surface where raindrops created ripples: "The Dean plans to enter the Lingyin Domain, I guess that’s somewhat avenging me."

Lu Jin’an didn’t speak, he just looked in the direction of the Eastern Dynasty. East Slope Confucian Academy entering the Lingyin Domain, is it really just to suppress the Buddhist Sect?

Or is it to fill the vacuum after the Buddhist Sect’s decline?

If so, who proposed it?

Lu Jin’an subtly asked: "Both Lingyin and Radiant Domains are Great Domains, what is Dean Zi planning to do next?"

"I don’t know yet." Fang Xiuqi shook his head: "Even if East Slope Confucian Academy enters, it’s impossible to take such a big territory, it would upset other sects..."

"As for what the results might be, I won’t be able to partake anymore."

"Though they are still willing to call me their chief senior brother, I can’t shamelessly hold onto the position, otherwise, even if they respect me now, they might look down on me later."

After speaking, Fang Xiuqi shook his head with a wry smile: "I must have amused Saint Lu."

"Are you planning to leave East Slope Confucian Academy?"

"Yes, I plan to go for a walk." Fang Xiuqi nodded: "I can’t say my heart is entirely unaffected."
