Chapter 1558 Lie Peiqi
Xiao Tiandi accepted Wang Wei's invitation, so he teleported to his room. "Lin Fan, this is Xiao Tiandi. Xiao Tiandi, this is Lin Fan," Wang Wei introduced them.
"We know each other," Lin Fan said as he saluted Xiao Tiandi, who returned the favor.
"You do?"
"Our masters know each other and are considered friends, so we've t and can be considered acquaintances," Xiao Tiandi replied, but he was slightly distracted. He observed how comfortable Wang Wei's lounging chair was and
condensed one for himself.
"I forgot about that," Wang Wei nodded. He rembered Kong used to buy information from Xun Junyao, just like he did. Since he invited everyone, Wang Wei poured the wine.
The Pure Art Blue Mansion had its own unique brew called the Lustful Immortal Dream, which can be considered top class among all the wines in the world.
"You still haven't told why you're here?"
"The Butterfly Princess invited my master," Xiao Tiandi replied as he enjoyed his win.
"A eting between the current and forr most beautiful woman?" Lin Fan comnted. His nose almost bled thinking of such a sight, and he wasn't the only one.
"Pervert," Wang Wei mocked.
"Don't tell you weren't picturing it too," Lin Fan sneered.
"I'll have you know I also imagined my wife being present.
Can you say the sa?"
Lin Fan was imdiately tongue-tied. "Alright, we know we can't argue with your golden tongue."
"Speak for yourself," Xiao Tiandi rebutted before looking at Wang Wei smugly. "I don't need to picture other people."
"So, you admit you have impure thoughts about your master?"
Xao Tiandi almost spilled his cup. "Bastard, can't you show a little bit of respect?"
Wang Wei ignored him. Bullying these two was too easy.
Their wives might put up a better fight. "Why does the Butterfly Princess want to see your master?"
"She claid it was to help with new work. As you know, my master enjoys great art." Indeed, Xun Junyao was renowned for her passion for art. That's why her birthday required a performance by all the participants.
"As soon as you said these words, I slled conspiracy. I'm surprise you didn't," Wang Wei comnted.
"Conspiracy? Why would there be a conspiracy?... Do you suspect the Butterfly Prince is scheming for my master's perfection?"
"If you look at the princess's life closely, you will find many anomalies. She has never left the Qin Dynasty. She has rejected every marriage proposal she received, which wouldn't be an issue if not for the fact that no one from Qin has ever proposed to her.
"Well, that's not entirely true. The one prince who died was soon exiled and never returned to the capital. The odd thing is that even the Human Emperor himself was never tempted by her beauty. You could argue he's a disciplined man, so he controlled himself.
"But you an to tell such an ambitious man would not be tempted by her talent to help people break through?
Based on the Human Emperor's personality, he should have already acquired or destroyed her — not just imprisoned her in this city."
"It's also odd that a courtesan has the word princess in her title," Lin Fan added. "Unless the Human Emperor accepted that title, many people would have impeached her, and even destroyed the mansion out of fury or as an excuse to eliminate her." An idea suddenly flashed in his mind. "Do you think she's a secret Qin Princess?"
"The na is indeed a great indicator," Wang Wei nodded. He felt like he was catching on to sothing.
"Forget about her na. What conspiracy could she have against my master?"
"How should I know? I just think the invite is suspicious,"
Wang Wei shrugged.
Xiao Tiandi stared at him. "Forget it, I'll think about it myself.
Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy…The master said an artist of the princess's level no longer has anything to prove, so her new work must be sothing crucial — sothing personal that surpasses her previous work.
"Her new work? Does the Butterfly Princess wish to use the master's physique to perfect her new work? No, maybe she wants to create the perfect work of art." Xiao Tiandi stood up and imdiately teleported away.
"Love — isn't it a beautiful thing?" Wang Wei sighed deeply.
However, Lin Fan did not answer him. Instead, the latter had a deep frown plastered on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"I have a sudden bad feeling about this."
"You should."
"What do you an?"
"Now that your master is the destiny chosen, he and the people related to him will find themselves helplessly drawn to nurous events," Wang Wei shuckled. "I could probably guess what happened. Xu Shi went to improve her skill, probably learning from a top courtesan. In the process, the Butterfly Princess caught her attention for one reason or another and invited her to participate in her new
masterpiece." He wasn't able to sense Xu Shi, Xun Junyao, and the Butterfly Princess, which explained a lot.
Lin Fan's face turned ugly, so he imdiately teleported away, leaving the laughing Wang Wei. "It feels so good not to be the one having to worry every day."
The two returned a few minutes later.
"Well?"
"They have already isolated themselves for the finishing touch," Xiao Tiandi said with gritted teeth.
Wang Wei clicked his tongue. "Imagine how much security you would feel about now if you had a powerful faction behind you."
"Do you think this is the ti for this?" Xiao Tiandi said with a slightly raised voice.
"I'm just saying," Wang Wei shrugged.
"I'm leaving," Lin Fan said. He wanted to inform his teacher about this situation.
"Good, and have fun being destiny's bitch," Wang Wei chuckled.
Lin Fanb gave him a hard stare before disappearing. Xiao Tiandi snorted coldly before returning to his private room.
"The party is already over? What a sha," Wang Wei laughed. He relaxed his body on the chair. "It's good to allow myself to get tipsy once in a while."
Wang Wei enjoyed himself in the next few days. The performance was indeed outstanding. If not for his peak cultivation, a few of them might have allowed him to beco enlightened. Three days later, the Origin Seal Continent arrived.
Wu Hong's arrival, as expected, was extraordinary. She stood on a flying river with the twins behind her. However, it was not a common river. No, it was an artificially created Grand Dao Source with intense and pure Dao Rhys from all 3800 primary Daos. The Origin Seal Continent left a trail of people being suddenly enlightened from a quick observation of that river.
"That woman can make an entrance, can't she?" Wang Wei smiled. He had to wait two more days before Wu Hong joined him, and he waited with bated breath. And as soon as she appeared, he rushed into her embrace.
"A little excited, aren't we?"
"I miss your angelic face," Wang Wei smiled.
"I'm sure you did," Wu Hong gave him a quick kiss.
"That's it?"
"I'm not going to be overly affectionate after you spend days lusting after other won."
"I did no such thing. I was appreciating their art."
"I'm sure you were," Wu Hong nodded as she lay in his chair.
"Where are my recordings?"
"Here you are, my queen," Wang Wei said as he handed a few talismans to her. He poured wine for her before sitting in another chair opposite hers. "Was it a good idea to bring the twins and leave the puppet as guardian?"
"His na is Lie Peiqi, and he's not just a puppet. He has a soul, consciousness, and his own will. I'm tired of the rest of the world treating him as an object."
"Whoa, I'm sorry. I didn't know he ant that much to you."
Wu Hong sighed. She took a deep gulp of her wine. "No, I'm the one who should apologize." She didn't really talk about Lie Peiqi, so it's understandable that he didn't understand.
"Did sothing happen?" Wang Wei asked.
"Most people don't know this, but Lie Peiqi can be considered my master."
"Oh?
"He's the one who taught and aided to beco a Primal.
Although our relationship started as strictly business, with promising to fix him after I beca a Primal, we grew close, and I do consider him my master — even if he refuses to accept the status."
Wang Wei listened quietly without interrupting her.
"I just finished helping heal the damages from the Ultimate Taboo and wanted to introduce him to you, even asking that he officiate our wedding. However, he told that now that the continent didn't need him, he was going to leave."
Wu Hong reached to refill her cup, but instead took the pot and drank the entire thing.
"I always knew this day would co. When we first t, all he talked about was returning ho. You know, I wouldn't be so upset if he told where his ho was, or allowed to help. No, that stubborn idiot — he has to do everything himself."
