Moreover, she still wanted...
Pei Wanyu placed a hand over her lower abdon, her already moist eyes becoming even more misty as she pondered sothing.
"Lu Yunzhu..."
A hint of playfulness flashed in Pei Wanyu’s eyes as she withdrew her thoughts and waved her hand, and two marriage fortune-telling sticks from Hanshan Temple with her good disciple appeared on the table.
She ford a spell with both hands, and the Ti Law swirled around, enveloping the two sticks.
She wasn’t trying to use the Ti Law to find out anything because she knew that Emperor Shitian’s disappearance must have been well managed by the perpetrator.
Otherwise, Tianyan Pavilion would have already known Emperor Shitian’s current situation.
Although Pei Wanyu excelled in the Ti Path, she was also aware of its many limitations. In the Art of Divination, she was certainly not as skilled as the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion Master, Shangguan Qizheng.
However, she could still use the Ti Law to ascertain one thing: that Emperor Shitian was not dead. Otherwise, the Incense Fire Will at Hanshan Temple would have long dispersed.
"With Emperor Shitian’s strength, it wouldn’t be easy for the Buddhist Sect to capture him, but there’s no intel of any major battle."
"Forget it, I won’t consider this for now."
Pei Wanyu gathered the Ti Law and moved to the bedside, sat down, removed her embroidered shoes, and lay down, thinking of Lu Yunzhu, who had already beco an Immortal.
Although she had only heard a few words from her good disciple, Pei Wanyu could feel Lu Yunzhu’s dominance from this person.
She didn’t understand why Lu Yunzhu had let her good disciple run away from ho back then, but it didn’t stop her from paying attention to Lu Yunzhu.
Pei Wanyu had a hunch that this woman was not easy to deal with.
However...
"I’m not easy to deal with either."
······
Dawn broke.
After morning exercise and a bath, Lu Jin’an glanced thoughtfully at the Flying Boat at the city gate, then walked back into Hanshan Temple.
Inside the Library Pavilion, Dongfang Xinglan was still reading voraciously, seemingly having not slept all night.
In the corner of the Library Pavilion, two Dog Demons were sleeping soundly. Lu Jin’an’s footsteps made the girl open her eyes, but upon seeing it was Lu Jin’an, she relaxed again.
Lu Jin’an walked to Dongfang Xinglan’s side: "Didn’t sleep?"
"Mm." Dongfang Xinglan closed the book, wrapped the cloak around herself: "I should train."
"Let’s head back to the Flying Boat." Lu Jin’an said, asking, "Do you often not sleep?"
"It’s a waste of ti." Dongfang Xinglan said flatly: "Sleeping doesn’t make one stronger."
Lu Jin’an glanced at her: "Body Refinent is exhausting enough. Aren’t you tired?"
As they walked, Dongfang Xinglan replied, "I am, but when I’m tired, I’ll take a look at the fields or the clinic, plenty of people are more exhausted than I am."
Looking at Dongfang Xinglan’s profile, Lu Jin’an said with so disbelief: "You must have a loose screw... well, you really are quite silly."
Dongfang Xinglan furrowed her brow: "You..."
Lu Jin’an interrupted her: "When you’re tired, just rest. There’s no need to compare with others on who’s more tired...
Forget it, it’s a waste of breath to talk to you."
Dongfang Xinglan was about to retort, but the sight after stepping out of Hanshan Temple made her swallow her words.
Her gaze fell on two Buddhas kneeling on the ground, which widened her eyes involuntarily.
"Bao Yue Buddha..."
She knew this Buddha, as she had witnessed him entering and exiting her father’s palace several tis.
Though her father never lost composure in front of Bao Yue Buddha, Bao Yue has never knelt before him either.
Additionally, every ti Bao Yue Buddha led her father to the Buddhist Sect for observation, his attitude was always condescending.
But now, this Buddha was kneeling towards the Wandao Sect’s Flying Boat?
"No need to look, they’ve been kneeling all night." Lu Jin’an said flatly, "If Master doesn’t let him rise, no one else dares to."
Dongfang Xinglan couldn’t help but ask: "Even Lingshan’s True Buddha can’t?"
"No."
"..."
Dongfang Xinglan fell silent, and for the first ti, she had a direct understanding of the dominance of the first Immortal Sect in the world.
"Let’s go." Lu Jin’an said lazily, "By the ti you’re done with morning exercises, perhaps Emperor Jia Ning will have entered the city."
Stirred, Dongfang Xinglan quickly leaped onto the Flying Boat’s deck, looking out, and sure enough, a magnificent Flying Boat was parked outside the city.
She certainly recognized this Flying Boat, as the Buddhist Sect always used it to bring her father for visits.
"Why is it parked outside?" Dongfang Xinglan asked.
Lu Jin’an casually made sothing up: "Probably because the curfew hasn’t lifted."
Dongfang Xinglan’s hands clenched slightly, looking again at the two kneeling Buddhas below.
Lu Jin’an spoke leisurely: "Not doing morning exercises?"
He paused and continued: "After your exercises, there’s a bath at the end of the cabin where you can wash up."
Finishing his words, he returned to the Flying Boat to see his Master.
"Saint Lu." Dongfang Xinglan turned and said, "You previously said you would work under , is that true?"
"Yes."
"I understand." Dongfang Xinglan slightly lowered her eyelids, realizing she might have found a solution that benefits both sides.
Lu Jin’an grinned as he walked into the cabin, while Dongfang Xinglan pursed her lips, looking up at the still slightly dim sky.
She still couldn’t distinguish what was true or false, but it didn’t hinder her resolution.
Wandao Sect could serve as a foundation, but if Wandao Sect also harbored its own agenda, what then?
With Lu Jin’an, the Wandao Sect Saint, a foundation could be maintained.
Because his status was a rare talisman of protection.
Turning back to the resplendent Flying Boat outside the city, Dongfang Xinglan could faintly see the imperial dragon flags flying above it.
She clenched her hands, fully aware that she was treading on risky ground, if discovered the entire Eastern Dynasty would definitely cease to exist.
Yet... her actions were also for the sake of the Eastern Dynasty.
’Sorry...’
