Facing the tearful Xiaodouding, Zhang Chen hurriedly embraced Xiaodouding in his arms: "Don’t cry! Don’t cry! Even if it’s just a re ntal illness, even if you turn into a fool, I won’t despise you."
"Really?" Xiaodouding looked at Zhang Chen through tear-filled eyes.
"Of course it’s true," Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiaodouding dove into Zhang Chen’s arms, sobbing and saying, "Zhang Chen, you’re so good, I will be the best with you in the world from now on."
Xiaodouding was truly terrified.
Zhang Chen, just like coaxing a daughter, stroked Xiaodouding’s head. He felt as if he had gained another daughter!
At this mont, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the Law Enforcent Elder returned, gazing at Zhang Chen and Xiaodouding who were embracing each other, he spoke with earnestness: "You two are lucky, you’ve caught the attention of the young lady, you must go and serve her well. If you can get her favor, you could directly rise to great heights."
"Who is this person?" Zhang Chen looked at the Law Enforcent Elder, probing with a question.
Honestly, although he had interacted with the person for a considerable ti, he really didn’t know the person’s identity and background, because such matters were not ones he could inquire about given his status.
"The daughter of Xie Xuan, the chief of the Inspection and Supervision Departnt in the Northern Land---Xie Lingyun! If you can grasp this opportunity, your future will be beyond limits." The Law Enforcent Elder spoke with solemnity, patting the two on the shoulders: "Kids, seize the opportunity! In a lifeti, opportunities to change one’s destiny are few, sotis just once. If you can seize it, seize it; if not, you will forever be stuck in the dust."
The Law Enforcent Elder said to the two: "Co with to freshen up, and then go serve the young lady."
Upon hearing the Law Enforcent Elder’s words, Zhang Chen’s pupils shrank, his heart greatly shaken: Xie Xuan’s daughter, Xie Lingyun?
He was an old acquaintance of Xie Xuan!
Based on seniority, he and Xie Xuan should be in the sa generation, so Xie Lingyun should at least call him uncle, right?
But now he understood why Huangli Temple attaches such importance to Xie Lingyun, after all, she is the daughter of the chief of the Inspection and Supervision Departnt, even more noble than a Commandery Princess.
"So it’s her!" Zhang Chen murmured in his heart, the conspiracy theories blossod again: "Could it be that old Xie Xuan marked , so he sent Xie Lingyun here to find a solution?"
"Can I still hide now?" Zhang Chen felt a bit agitated, the guessing ga was not a pleasant feeling.
"I must quickly think of a way to obtain the higher-level techniques of Qi Cultivation in Yellow Heaven Dao, then leave here as soon as possible, always feeling surrounded by old conspirators, with no sense of security." Zhang Chen internally noted.
Faced with Xie Lingyun’s personal assignnt, Zhang Chen and Xiaodouding had no choice but to follow the Law Enforcent Elder with heavy heart, eyes filled with innocence, exchanging glances then both frowned, neither wanting to serve others. Given their temperants and personalities, even if it promised imnse wealth and glory, they absolutely didn’t want to serve others.
The two washed up a bit and arrived at the southwest corner of the Daoist Temple, where the entire corner was blocked off by guards clad in iron armor. Although the sun was blazing in the sky, the guards in their armor seed unaware of the heat, and layers of frost seed to congeal on the armor.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen’s eyes showed disbelief, frost on armor in hot weather? What a joke?
"This armor is not made of ordinary steel, but from a strange iron ore found in a tomb thirty years ago by the Inspection and Supervision Departnt, containing Ice Power and imbued with incredible strength." The Law Enforcent Elder explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen suddenly understood, indeed in this mysterious world, anything is possible.
Zhang Chen and Xiaodouding looked at each other, remaining silent, following behind the Law Enforcent Elder, arriving in front of a three-story bamboo house.
"The young lady is resting inside, you two go in. Rember, do not anger the young lady, or even the Celestial King cannot save you." The Law Enforcent Elder said this, his eyes turning to Xiaodouding: "Especially you, do not cause trouble."
After speaking, the Law Enforcent Elder took his leave, then Zhang Chen and Chengyu glanced at each other and walked towards the small building.
"You two co up." As soon as they reached the downstairs, the window on the third floor opened, and Xie Lingyun dressed in red beckoned to them from the window.
Xie Lingyun appeared physically weak at this mont, losing so of her previous heroism and nobility, gaining so femininity and vulnerability, full of femininity.
They ascended to the third floor, bowing respectfully to Xie Lingyun:
"Greetings, venerable one."
Xie Lingyun’s gaze swept over the two, then fixed on Zhang Chen, countless words and questions welled in her heart, but at this mont facing Zhang Chen directly, she swallowed all of them back, feeling no matter how she spoke, it would be inappropriate.
"No need to stand on ceremony, co and have so food." Xie Lingyun pointed to several plates of fruits and pastries on the table, the grapes large and round, still dewy as if freshly picked.
Seeing the treats on the table, Xiaodouding swallowed hard and then looked up, her eyes sparkling with water spirit at Zhang Chen.
