"Fan Boyu has arrived, and he brought a Saintess from the Primordial Saint Sect. What does this an?"
"It should be that the Saintess of the Primordial Saint Sect’s Original Sect learned about Yueyao from Fan Boyu," Shen Ying said. "The fact that they could hold back for a year before coming is already comndable."
Lu Zheng nodded.
During last year’s New Year, Fan Boyu followed Du Yueyao to Yizhou and then returned to the Southern Border on his own.
Lu Zheng thought he would return soon to continue protecting Du Yueyao, but unexpectedly, he stayed away for a year and even brought a Saintess back.
"Let’s go, let’s head back and take a look," Lu Zheng said.
Shen Ying nodded and then rose into the air with Lu Zheng, heading towards Tonglin County.
In no ti, the two returned to the Lu Residence and saw Liu Qingyan sitting in the main seat of the hall. Du Yueyao and Yue Honghai sat on the left, while Fan Boyu and another woman in white sat on two chairs on the right.
The woman had gentle features, appearing in her thirties, with an elegant deanor and a graceful and poised quality.
Seeing Lu Zheng and Shen Ying arrive hand in hand, the five people present stood up together.
"Lu Lang!"
"Brother Lu!"
"Young Master!"
Fan Boyu cupped his hands, "Greetings, Young Master Lu!"
The woman in white slightly bowed, "Zhilan of the Primordial Saint Sect, ets Young Master Lu!"
Lu Zheng’s eyes shone like stars as he returned the gesture, "Lu Zheng of the White Cloud Temple, ets Daoist Friend Zhilan."
Even though he couldn’t discern Zhilan’s cultivation level, as soone who had once defeated a Saintess of the Primordial Saint Sect, Lu Zheng wasn’t going to be lacking in deanor, considering it an interaction between equals.
"Shen Ying ets the Saintess," Shen Ying said, following Lu Zheng’s example and saluting.
Liu Qingyan yielded the main seat to Lu Zheng and then sat at the left with Shen Ying accompanying him.
The Saintess Zhilan glanced at Lu Zheng, and her eyes swept sequentially over Shen Ying, Liu Qingyan, and Yue Honghai, nodding silently.
In such a small Tonglin County, there were actually four great experts hidden. No wonder Fan Boyu felt at ease returning, without any worry at all.
Little did they realize that Fan Boyu was also surprised, knowing that when he left, Yue Honghai wasn’t around, and neither Shen Ying nor Liu Qingyan had broken through yet.
Unexpectedly, after a year, under Lu Zheng’s command, not only was there a Great Demon added, but the two confidants also made rapid progress.
Now Tonglin County could be said to be a dragon’s lair and tiger’s den. Even if Saintess Xueyi ca personally, she probably couldn’t take Du Yueyao away.
Once everyone was seated, the more Saintess Zhilan looked at Du Yueyao, the more she was satisfied, saying warmly, "Thank you all for watching over and guiding Miss Du. Her foundation is now deep and solid, beyond my expectations."
Lu Zheng waved it off, saying, "Yueyao is like a sister to ; there’s no need for the Saintess to thank us. I wonder if Saintess Zhilan has an important matter for coming in person?"
Lu Zheng glanced at Fan Boyu.
He had previously agreed with Fan Boyu that this matter should be kept confidential. As a sacrificial priest, Fan Boyu coming to the Central Plains would not attract attention, but the presence of a Saintess was of a different nature and could easily be discovered by the New Sect.
Once Du Yueyao’s cultivation had progressed, she would not be regarded as a reincarnated furnace by the New Sect and would have the strength to protect herself, then revealing this wouldn’t be too late.
Fan Boyu felt slightly embarrassed, cupping his hands, "Over the past year, I have gathered many cultivation herbs in the Southern Border, hoping to help Yueyao..."
The group understood, but Lu Zheng’s eyes narrowed:
Seeing Lu Zheng’s expression, Saintess Zhilan frowned and said to Lu Zheng, "Young Master Lu, please be at ease. Priest Fan happened to find herbs that I had an eye on."
"I hope it is so," Lu Zheng nodded, although he still wasn’t completely at ease.
After all, within the Primordial Saint Sect, the Reincarnation New Sect was stronger than the rit Original Sect. Who knew if they had any other ans?
Saying this, Saintess Zhilan glanced at Lu Zheng and then at Du Yueyao, flipped her right hand gently, and six small porcelain bottles appeared on the table next to her. With a wave of her hand, the six bottles floated to the table beside Du Yueyao.
"Little Lingxi Pill, Five Immortals True Jade Pill, and Profound Plain Heart Brightening Pill, two bottles of each kind, can aid you in Refining Qi and Refining Spirit," Saintess Zhilan said.
Du Yueyao was stunned and couldn’t help but look at Lu Zheng.
Saintess Zhilan’s eyes narrowed, also turning to glance lightly at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng ignored Saintess Zhilan’s gaze, nodding to Du Yueyao, "This is Saintess Zhilan’s goodwill, just accept it."
"Thank you, Saintess!"
Du Yueyao then stood up, respectfully bowed, and then tucked the six bottles of elixirs into her bracelet.
Saintess Zhilan suppressed her dissatisfaction with Du Yueyao’s deference to Lu Zheng, but feeling better when she looked at the bracelet on Du Yueyao’s wrist.
After all, Lu Zheng treated Du Yueyao well and didn’t covet the resources of the Primordial Saint Sect.
"You’re welco; the faster you cultivate, the better it is for the Primordial Saint Sect," Saintess Zhilan replied.
Du Yueyao thought for a mont, then said, "Since the Saintess has traveled far, please stay at my place for a few days. I’ve had so difficulties understanding ’Su Nu’s Prayer thod’ during my recent cultivation, and I would be grateful for your guidance."
Saintess Zhilan nodded faintly, smiling, "That would be best, I had the sa idea."
"Hmm?"
Seeing Saintess Zhilan’s composed expression, Lu Zheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, looking at Fan Boyu.
He didn’t expect Fan Boyu hadn’t inford Saintess Zhilan that Du Yueyao had inherited Su Nu’s teachings and improved ’Su Nu’s Prayer thod.’
Fan Boyu shook his head, believing that not telling would make Saintess Zhilan appear sincere, and this favor should be offered by Du Yueyao herself.
Their exchanged glances didn’t escape Saintess Zhilan, who shifted her gaze to Fan Boyu with questioning eyes.
Fan Boyu didn’t reply, instead looking at Du Yueyao.
Du Yueyao blinked, finally understanding Fan Boyu’s intention, then couldn’t help but look at Lu Zheng.
Saintess Zhilan’s gaze followed.
Lu Zheng didn’t mind, realizing that since she was here, one could uncover the oddity with just a bit of guidance, so he nodded, "Go ahead and tell."
Saintess Zhilan then looked at Du Yueyao, unsure of what riddle they were playing.
Du Yueyao smiled awkwardly before saying to Saintess Zhilan, "I may not be talented, but in a dream, I received teachings from Ancestor Su Nu, further perfecting ’Su Nu’s Prayer thod.’"
"What!?"
Saintess Zhilan felt her mind go blank, taking a couple of breaths to react.
But once she grasped the situation, she was even more amazed. Her eyes widened, brows raised, unable to contain herself from standing up abruptly, unintentionally unleashing a breeze in the hall due to her uncontrolled Qi.
Lu Zheng waved his hand, a light white cloud enveloping the courtyard, dispersing the Qi unleashed by Saintess Zhilan.
The two had a minor contest.
Saintess Zhilan glanced at Lu Zheng and then earnestly said to Du Yueyao, "Please explain in detail, Miss Du."
Du Yueyao nodded and recounted her capture by Saintess Xueyi, how she was saved by Lu Zheng during an attempted spirit possession, and how she practiced the Divine Prayer Technique in a coma, finally having her Divine Soul connect with Su Nu and receive her gifts.
Beside them, Yue Honghai was hearing such a story for the first ti and couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Originally thinking that the two mistresses had extraordinary talent, he didn’t expect Du Yueyao, who remained understated, was soone bestowed with technique transmission from an Upper Realm Immortal.
If so, how much more formidable must their Young Master be?
Saintess Zhilan was even more shocked.
Since the death of the founding ancestor of the Primordial Saint Sect, no one within the sect had been able to communicate with Su Nu for thousands of years. Now, Du Yueyao could receive Su Nu’s teachings in a dream, perfecting the cultivation technique.
The Primordial Saint Sect was on the path to a revival!
Saintess Zhilan stood, offering a deep bow to Du Yueyao.
