Chapter 69: Leaving the Sacred Mountain
To resolve the conflict between them, he must understand the conflict between them.
If he directly stood by Jade Peony’s side, he would lose the opportunity to get in touch with Gu Hanshuang. So, it was very necessary to keep this relationship a secret.
Hmm, this was a completely new attempt. If he could complete it, it would be quite a sense of accomplishment.
“This is the first time I’ve personally seen Brother Ming’s master. She is truly magnificent. Even without seeing her face clearly, she made me, a woman, feel a little intoxicated,” Jade Peony sighed softly. “I’ve heard my master talk about some of the past events of the Moon Shadow Holy Master. If she weren’t in this era, she might have had the ability to touch or even step into that realm.”
For other cultivators, having a Great Emperor in power was a blessing, because with a Great Emperor in the world, there would be much less filth and bloodshed. But for top-tier geniuses like them, a Great Emperor in power meant that even if their talent was outstanding, they would have no chance to attain the Dao and become an Emperor.
Intoxicated… Hearing this, Mingyan couldn’t help but smile. His master wouldn’t reveal her true face to outsiders. He still remembered the first time he saw his master’s face, he was directly stunned, mesmerized.
He had never been so flustered before. He was someone who knew how to appreciate beauty, not face-blind. But when he saw the faces of Feiyan, Ning Feixuan, and his senior sister, he hadn’t been so flustered.
And, it wasn’t just her face. Her temperament, that cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside personality also made him feel a strange fondness.
His master had said that it was only because he was a Human King Physique that she had poured so many resources into him.
Although he was a little hurt, he didn’t completely believe it. His talent was naturally one of the reasons, he didn’t deny that. But his master had no feelings for him at all? He didn’t believe it. He still remembered his master’s slightly subtle expression when he gave her the Tranquil Half Moon.
She hadn’t stopped him from learning about her past, which meant it was impossible for her to be as she said, that she was only cultivating him because she felt he could be used.
Thirty percent true, seventy percent false. It’s probably like that.
Was it really that difficult for his master’s beauty to outshine all others? For example, Feiyan’s mother, Huang Junru. In terms of beauty, she was completely on par with his master. And his sister, Wang Qingchu, was even slightly better. But his master was special to him. Perhaps it was because she had appeared too early, leaving an indelible impression on him too early. Or perhaps, he was just simply too fond of his master.
“We are in this era. Do you think it’s a good thing?” Jade Peony asked softly.
“A good thing? Not really. After all, the Dark Era is coming,” he said, coming back to his senses and shaking his head. “But we are in this era, so we have our mission.”
“Do you think it’s your responsibility to fight against the Dark Era?” Hearing this, she looked at him.
“If I can protect the people around me and still have strength left, I certainly won’t sit by and do nothing,” he nodded. “I will strive for progress with all my might to ensure I can protect the people around me from harm.”
This way of putting it was very subtle… It sounded much more pleasant than what he had said before. She smiled lightly. Although the content hadn’t changed, hearing it in this tone was much better than the previous statement that seemed to have no ambition at all.
Protecting the people around him with all his might… If his master’s speculation was true, that Moon Shadow Holy Master might have even reached the Saint realm.
The people around him must also include this Moon Shadow Holy Master. So, to protect her, he naturally had to surpass her.
Surpassing a Saint, that would be a Great Saint, or even a Human King.
Hehe, with a Great Emperor in power, the suppression of the Great Dao was extremely severe. How difficult was it to become a Great Saint, or even a Human King?
Even her master, Bai Ze, with her heavenly talent, was only a Saint…
It seemed she had misunderstood him before…
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly. “That won’t be easy.”
He nodded. “I’m prepared.”
After returning to his room, Mingyan wanted to know his master’s whereabouts. He couldn’t help but think of the concentric pendant. His master hadn’t taken it back. Perhaps he could use it to see if she had really gone back?
He tried to use the pendant to observe Yue Wu Xia, but soon found that he couldn’t see any image. He was a little surprised. It wasn’t like this before. What had happened?
He thought for a moment. Could it be that his master had used some method to block his sight, so that he couldn’t observe her through the pendant?
Hmm… it wasn’t too surprising. After all, his master definitely knew more about the Yin-Yang Concentric Pendant than he did. She also knew very well that he could see her image through it, so it was normal for her to use some method to prevent him from seeing her.
How can I make her calm down? If I get a lot of opportunities this time, she should calm down a bit, right?
Speaking of which, his master probably often used the pendant to see what he was doing, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have contacted him at that time.
My master really cares about me. Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.
Then this time, I must not let her down again. Maybe she will be watching all the time.
Three days later, Mingyan’s group, led by Jade Peony, left the sacred mountain. After seeing them off, she went back. And Mingyan’s group began to head towards the edge of the Southern Continent.
Feng Shiyi had suddenly fallen into a deep sleep for the past few days and had not woken up. She didn’t even know that he had been injured, but he still brought her along.
He couldn’t travel with Jade Peony. Even entering and leaving the foot of the sacred mountain was done very secretly. These things could not be known by Gu Hanshuang.
On the way, he told Huang Junyi about the Emperor Feather.
Hearing that Bai Ze might not know why the Emperor Feather was there, she frowned. Then this matter was a bit strange…
The Huang Family’s Emperor Feather, lost in the Forbidden Zone, had inexplicably appeared on the summit of the sacred mountain. And the Demon King Bai Ze, who guarded the sacred mountain, was sure that besides her, no one had been up the mountain recently. She herself also seemed to be unaware of this.
Could the Emperor Feather have grown legs and run out on its own? Even if it did, shouldn’t it have run back to the Huang Family in the Eastern Continent?
Strange.
But no matter what, it was a blessing that the Emperor Feather had returned to their hands.
The Emperor Feather was of utmost importance to the Huang Family. Besides its own abilities, according to some internal records of the Huang Family, it might have some other uses. These things needed to be investigated after returning to the Huang Family.
