Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sincerity

Feng Nie was already in a bad mood, but now that she was disturbed by Yao Zhi like this, she felt even more upset, and she just wanted to get out quickly, so she said: "Give me the silver snake skirt of the rocking step, I will help you fix it, and you don't bother me about other things." As a demon, you scratch your head all day long, what kind of body do you have when you are demonic? Even if it's a demon person, I know that honesty and shame are self-respecting, so I advise you to check some better. With that, he turned around and walked into the Golden Phoenix Palace and walked away.

Na Yaozhi thought that he could coerce her by grabbing her handle, so he was very proud of his superiority, but he was reprimanded by her, and he was immediately angry, and stomped his feet angrily: "Feng Ni, one day, I will let you know who is the mistress of the Netherworld Valley!" ā€

~~~~~~~~~~~

Luoyin Zhuyu, return to the palace.

Xi Mutong stood alone at the door of the hall, silently reciting the "Return Words" of the ethereal monk on the shadow wall, as quiet as a statue, motionless for a long time. Taketsuki walked over, and she didn't notice either.

"Auntie," Zhuyue called softly.

"Coming?" She moved her shoulders, but she didn't turn around, her eyes still on the poem.

"Yes."

"Ling'er entered the Xuanbing Cave, has it been a day?" She asked.

Zhuyue's face changed slightly, and she replied, "Yes, it's been a day." ā€

Only then did Xi Mutong turn to look at him, "He should have seen the Ethereal Monk already." ā€

Zhuyue nodded and said, "I hope we are not mistaken, he really has this creation." ā€

Xi Mutong deflected the topic and asked, "A few days later, it will be the Immortal Demon Banquet in Jiangnan Mansion, do you plan to take Ling'er with you?" ā€

Zhuyue was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Auntie, the fairy and demon banquet is like a sea of fire and a mountain of swords, full of dangers, Ling'er is so young, I'm afraid it's not suitable!" ā€

Xi Mutong paused for a moment and said: "In general, the divine skills pay attention to the internal strength and mental method, and the practice is the breath and body, which is the case with the five mountains, four seas and four islands. Compared with other cultivation skills, the more profound thing is that it opens the mind. The wider the mind of a meditator, the higher the realm that can be attained by heavenly meditation. ā€

When Zhuyue heard this, she was very ashamed, and arched her hand and said: "What my aunt said is very true, referring to the fact that there are seven layers of Tianzen, and the disciples are stupid, and they have only reached the fifth layer so far. ā€

Xi Mutong said: "According to what the ethereal monk said back then, the highest realm reached by his best disciples is only the fourth layer, and those with ordinary qualifications can only practice the second or third layer. If you can reach the fifth layer, it is already a very high level of cultivation. ā€

Zhu Yue lifted her front placket, nodded her knees to the ground, and said: "Aunt should know the disciple's wish for many years, the disciple has always hoped that he can practice to the seventh level of Zhitian Zen and connect with his aunt, so that he can share his aunt's worries to his heart's content, but unfortunately the disciple does not have such a high talent, and there is not much time left...... Therefore, the disciple can only hope that after a hundred years of me, Ling'er will help me realize this lifelong wish and stay by my aunt's side instead of me. ā€

Xi Mutong's shoulders trembled suddenly, and he forced himself to calm down: "Zhuyue, get up, don't be so pessimistic, you know that I am walking the Spiral Star Array to change your life." ā€

Zhuyue's eyes were gloomy, she stood up, avoided topics related to herself, and said, "Aunt Xie, it's just this immortal and demon banquet......"

Xi Mutong said: "The heart realm refers to the comprehension and penetration ability of the surrounding world, so I will build yƬ, the fairy and demon banquet you will bring Ling'er." According to his understanding, there must be something to see. ā€

Zhuyue nodded in agreement, "What my aunt said is very true, I think I'm too worried about his safety." ā€

Xi Mutong groaned, and Zhu Yue saw that she had something on her mind, and asked, "Auntie, what is there to hide?" ā€

She took out the note from her sleeve and handed it to Taketsuki.

Zhu Yue's face changed dramatically after seeing it, and she exclaimed: "So, another demon baby boy also appeared?" ā€

Xi Mutong said: "Fire bell, carry another bell made of spirit beads, carve a fire dragon on it, spit out a ball of pure heavenly fire, according to the news revealed on this note, now the eastern capital Luoyang." ā€

Zhu Yue's tone was hurried, and she said, "I'll rush to Luoyang to find its whereabouts!" ā€

Xi Mutong raised his hand to stop, "No." Huo Ling'er is a descendant of Ji Xuanyuan's deification, and his life and temperament are very different from Shui Ling'er. If I'm right, he's hiding in the royal family, and you won't be able to find him except for the help of one person!" ā€

Zhuyue was stunned, "The person my aunt mentioned, is it, Yu Wenhua?" ā€

"It's him. Yu Wenhua is the number one traitor in the current human world, hijacking Emperor Yong to play with the court, and harming countless innocent people. And there are many evil spirits and aliens in his snares, even if it is our immortal clan, it will be difficult to get close to him for a while, so I won't let you take this risk! Xi Mutong stopped him, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

Zhuyue hurriedly said: "But, are we just putting the fire bell aside?" ā€

Xi Mutong said: "Don't worry, after the Immortal Demon Banquet, I will go to the Eastern Capital and deal with this matter personally." ā€

"No way!" Zhuyue replied categorically, "I don't want my aunt to go into danger alone, so I'll go!" ā€

Xi Mutong suddenly raised his head, his watery face revealed sadness, and said in his heart: "Zhuyue, you don't want to lose Ling'er, the apprentice, am I willing to lose you?" ā€

The voice in her heart Zhu Yue couldn't be heard, but her expression had already leaked her thoughts.

So he stopped talking and began to think about himself in silence.
