PNB Chapter 228: Master Ling, You and My Disciple Have Dual Cultivation
Chapter 228: Master Ling, You and My Disciple Have Dual Cultivation
Chapter 228: Master Fairy Ling, are you practicing dual cultivation with my disciple?
The cold and icy Junior Sister Ling can actually take care of others?
Liu Huiyang's eyes were full of suspicion, but he did not ask, but politely said: "No matter what, it is you and Junior Sister Ling who support each other, and our Yunshui Sect still has to thank you, but we are all friends in the future, so please feel free to ask if you have anything... Junior Sister Ling has not caused any trouble to Brother Lu in the past two months, right?"
As the eldest senior brother, Liu Huiyang is undoubtedly qualified.
He is elegant, gentle and attaches great importance to his reputation.
But he is also a normal person, he can also be sour.
For example, now, Liu Huiyang feels so sour in his heart.
Two months ago, when the Fairy Island was born, Liu Huiyang was in seclusion to break through to the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm, and missed the trip to the Fairy Island. As a result, he missed the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty, leaving Junior Sister Ling and Lu Zhan alone for so long.
Although he felt sad, Liu Huiyang was not worried. Junior Sister Ling had always been aloof and aloof. Even after being with Lu Zhan for such a long time, she would not do anything out of line. He had confidence in Junior Sister Ling.
Lu Zhan could tell that he was trying to trick him, so he acted like a playboy: "Alas... it is fate that I can support a fairy, but I don't know how deep this fate is."
"Some relationships are best ended at the right time." Liu Huiyang kept smiling and said meaningfully, "My sister is highly regarded. In the future, she will at least be an elder of Yunshui Sect. The elders and the headmaster are all devoted to Taoism and will not marry. Otherwise, perhaps we can really have a good relationship."
This is hinting to me that Yueyue will take control of the Yunshui Sect in the future and be a "Daoist Nun" of the Yunshui Sect for life, so that I will give up the idea of getting married... Lu Zhan became even more excited: "Miss Ling has a bright future, this is a good thing, as a friend I am happy for her. If that day really comes, I will definitely prepare a gift for her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhan saw that Liu Huiyang's expression changed.
In fact, Lu Zhan had heard of this senior brother of the Yunshui Sect.
It is rumored in martial arts world that Liu Huiyang of the Yunshui Sect is of pure and honest character, and has a cold and upright appearance.
His reputation is completely opposite to that of Mr. Lu, two extremes.
Lu Zhan had nothing against Liu Huiyang, but Liu Huiyang obviously admired Ling Jiaoyue. The relationship between him and Liu Huiyang was naturally delicate, and he could not help but be a little veiled in his words.
Liu Huiyang stared at Lu Zhan, as if he wanted to see some fluctuations on Lu Zhan's face, but after staring at him for a long time, Lu Zhan still had a look of "nothing to say", which made Liu Huiyang speechless.
Liu Huiyang felt that he was pretentious enough. For the sake of his reputation and the position of the eldest senior brother, he did a lot of things that were inconsistent with his heart.
But how come Lu Zhan is even better at pretending than him... He doesn't believe that Lu Zhan has no feelings for Ling Jiaoyue at all, but after hearing his hint, Lu Zhan actually behaves so frankly.
He even said he wanted to give Junior Sister Ling a generous gift...
This guy is indeed a strong opponent...Liu Huiyang is more certain of this conclusion.
After pondering for a while, Liu Huiyang laughed dryly and changed the subject: "Anyway, I'm glad you're all okay. When will Brother Lu return to the Demon Suppression Division? I'm sure your colleagues are also very worried."
"Of course I have to go back, but when I pass by Fairy Ling's sect, I have to come and visit. Otherwise, it would be too rude." Lu Zhan patted Liu Huiyang on the shoulder: "Brother Liu, Yunshui Sect is quite large. Is it okay for me to stay here for a few more days? Please arrange a room for me."
Liu Huiyang: “…”
Why are you planning to stay here?!
……
Even though Liu Huiyang was extremely reluctant for Lu Zhan to stay, she still showed Lu Zhan the Yunshui Sect's hospitality style.
Senior Brother Liu enthusiastically arranged a room for Lu Zhan.
The room faces the sea of clouds and is backed by a bamboo forest. It is quite elegant and quiet.
If there is one drawback to the room, it is that it is very far away from Ling Jiaoyue's solitary peak, or it can be said that this is the guest room in the entire Yunshui Sect that is farthest from the solitary peak.
Lu Zhan saw through Liu Huiyang's thoughts and clearly wanted to keep him away from Ling Jiaoyue, but he didn't know that this place was secluded and perfect for a private meeting.
"Brother Lu, please stay here. If you need anything, just let me know." Liu Huiyang remained enthusiastic, showing his magnanimity as the eldest senior brother of the Yunshui Sect.
Lu Zhan bowed his hands, very elegant and easy-going: "Thank you very much, Brother Liu."
Liu Huiyang exchanged a few more pleasantries and left after making all the arrangements, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart.
As the eldest senior brother of the Yunshui Sect, Liu Huiyang is always very confident. His reputation is unique in the Great Zhou. Anyone who hears his name will give him a thumbs up and praise his noble character.
So much so that when he first heard of Lu Zhan's name, Liu Huiyang was somewhat disdainful.
He just didn't believe that a mere demon-suppressing master could be so handsome. How could a man who cultivates immortality be ugly? As the realm is improved, everyone's temperament improves, their skin becomes fairer, and they become handsome and elegant.
What's more, rumors in the world cannot be trusted.
Even Liu Huiyang was said to be handsome and elegant, which shows that rumors should not be trusted.
But it was not until he met Lu Zhan that Liu Huiyang realized that sometimes, rumors were worth believing... Lu Zhan was indeed extremely handsome.
Moreover, Lu Zhan is even more handsome than the rumors say, but not as bad as the rumors say.
Rumor has it that Lu Zhan is a cruel, greedy, and lustful person, and is a real bad person.
But through the contact just now, Liu Huiyang felt that something was wrong. Wasn't Lu Zhan quite elegant and easy-going? He looked very well-mannered, how could he be as unbearable as the rumors said?
In this case, wouldn't it be even more difficult for me to win Junior Sister Ling's heart?
The more Liu Huiyang thought about it, the sadder he felt. He decided to stay in seclusion for a few more days and practice well. Although love is important, how can he pursue love without strength? Only the strong have the opportunity to compete for the fairy.
Not long after Liu Huiyang left, someone brought Lu Zhan some specialties from the Yunshui Sect.
Various kinds of berries, tea and pastries, these things are not ordinary, each of them contains abundant spiritual energy.
Lu Zhan ate some, then crossed his legs and began to meditate. He did not leave now simply because he wanted to hear Ling Jiaoyue's opinion. After all, the Yunshui Sect had not yet reached a conclusion regarding Shui Chen and the senior sister.
He can leave with peace of mind only after this matter has been concluded.
……
The Yunshui Sect has rich spiritual energy. The land where this kind of immortal sect is located has unique formations to gather spiritual energy, which is a unique place for cultivation for practitioners.
When Lu Zhan came back to his senses from his training, it was already late at night outside. The clouds that were misty during the day became a little thicker at night. However, the Yunshui Sect was built on a high mountain, and it seemed that he could see the brilliant starry sky when he looked up.
"Whoosh-"
A spiritual aura fell outside the window. Lu Zhan looked over and saw the little Pegasus peeking out of the window, her master standing solemnly.
"Coming?"
Lu Zhan smiled at the cold fairy.
Ling Jiaoyue stood on the top of the mountain in a white dress, her soft sash fluttering in the wind, her long black hair tied up in a bun, the bright moonlight shining on her body, making her seem somewhat lonely. She turned her head, and her beautiful face was as pretty as a fairy.
"The matter has been settled."
Ling Jiaoyue stared at the young man behind the window. Her calm eyes could not hide the spring in her heart.
Lu Zhan opened the door and let her in. After she came in, he said, "Tell me in detail."
Ling Jiaoyue looked around and made sure that no one was watching before she stepped into Lu Zhan's room.
After closing the door, Ling Jiaoyue felt a little worried, so she took out another magic weapon and cast a barrier around her.
It’s not that she was afraid that Shui Chen’s affairs would be heard by others. What she was really afraid of was that... Lu Zhan was not honest and was doing whatever he wanted to her. It would be bad if someone heard anything.
"Why are you so cautious? I won't do anything to you." Lu Zhan asked with a frown as he watched her actions.
Ling Jiaoyue snorted and did not answer his question. Instead, she talked about Shui Chen: "According to the interrogation, Uncle Shui Chen has been colluding with the Marquis' Mansion for many years. She claims that she wants to take the position of the head sect leader. The reason she targeted me is purely because I am too outstanding in Yunshui Sect."
At this point, Ling Jiaoyue picked up the teacup and took a sip. "At present, her soul is imprisoned in the forbidden area in the back mountain. Only the headmaster, me and my master know about it. Everyone else thinks that my uncle is in seclusion."
Lu Zhan understood what she meant: "Does Yunshui Sect want to use Shui Chen's identity to continue to contact the Marquis' Mansion?"
"We have to see what the Marquis' Mansion is planning. Although the five major sects are on good terms with the imperial court, they never get involved in the imperial court's fights. The imperial court's hand can't reach that far. We all think that Uncle Shuichen's theory is untenable." Ling Jiaoyue rubbed his head: "Senior Sister was also bewitched by her...Anyway, the sect's affairs are currently resolved. The head uncle abolished most of Uncle's cultivation and gave me an explanation."
According to Ling Jiaoyue's identity, she was not qualified to know this news, but who made her the person involved?
Whether it was Uncle Shuichen's secret meeting with the young marquis or the affairs of the fairy island, she knew about it.
But even if she knew, Ling Jiaoyue didn't want to care about it anymore. Although Uncle Shui Chen's soul still existed, most of his cultivation had been destroyed. This was a way for her to vent her anger. The head uncle had done this to give her instructions. As for how this matter would be handled in the future, it had nothing to do with her.
Lu Zhan held her in his arms and comforted her: "At that time, I said not to take her back to Yunshui Sect and interrogate her privately, but you insisted on considering the sect's rules... Now that things have come to this, since her cultivation has been abolished and you have accepted this "explanation", don't get involved in the future. Anything that gets involved with the court is complicated."
"I know." Ling Jiaoyue did not resist. She felt a little warm in her heart when she heard Lu Zhan's words. But when she noticed the movement of his hands, shame and anger suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She pushed him away fiercely: "What are you doing? This is Yunshui Sect!"
“I’m sorry. I can’t help myself when I’m close to you. My hands seem to have thoughts of their own.” Lu Zhan apologized with a smile. He looked very gentle and elegant, not at all as excessive as others said.
Fairy Ling didn't believe it at all. This guy was obviously used to it. He climbed mountains and waded through water with ease every time, but he looked so serious on the surface that people who didn't know him would think he was a modest gentleman.
But this kind of thing... it seems like you get used to it as time goes by. Even Ling Jiaoyue didn't expect that the relationship between them would develop to this point.
Ling Jiaoyue's face was cold, she turned away and said, "Stop making trouble, my master wants to see you."
"Mr. Yunshan wants to see me?" Lu Zhan was a little surprised. He had heard of the name of Mr. Yunshan, also known as Taoist Yunshan. He was one of the elders of the Yunshui Sect and an authentic sword cultivator. He was very famous in the world of immortal cultivators.
"I don't know why Master wants to see you."
"After all, since you kidnapped someone's apprentice, it's normal for you to want to give me a beating."
"Kidnapping?" Ling Jiaoyue raised her eyebrows: "Master, you don't know that you are so shameless! What's more, what is kidnapping? I'm not Jiang Ningshuang. Everything I did was to refine the holy object."
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Lu Zhan comforted her, then packed up and headed to Lone Peak together.
For cultivators, there is no difference between day and night. As long as they don't want to rest, they can stay awake all the time. It is normal to entertain guests at night.
Lu Zhan judged that Mr. Yunshan might have guessed something but didn't want to make it public, so he met him at night.
……
Compared with the luxury of other mountains, Lone Peak is relatively lonely and quiet.
The spacious and magnificent palace was as bright as day. Taoist Yunshan, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, sat at the top. His jet-black hair was neatly tied up and crowned with a jade crown. His beautiful face, caressed by the years, was solemn and elegant.
Lu Zhan bowed and said, "Junior greets Senior Yunshan."
Taoist Yunshan slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Lu Zhan, filled with a faint sense of oppression.
Lu Zhan smiled without saying anything, then raised his head and looked at him.
"Jiaoyue, you go and practice first." Taoist Yunshan looked at Lu Zhan, but spoke to Ling Jiaoyue.
Ling Jiaoyue was a little stunned. She didn't expect that her master would ask her to go out. Was there anything she couldn't hear?
"The disciple will withdraw first."
With many questions in mind, Ling Jiaoyue left reluctantly.
After Ling Jiaoyue left, Taoist Yunshan smiled faintly and said, "You are Lu Zhan. As the rumors say, you are a handsome boy."
child--
These two words made Lu Zhan's eyelids jump, but Taoist Yunshan was not wrong. In front of Taoist Yunshan, he was indeed a child.
“Thank you for your compliment, senior.” Lu Zhan nodded slightly but did not relax. He found that although Taoist Yunshan was not as cold as Ling Jiaoyue, and was even inexplicably gentle and kind, he gave people a feeling of being “unfathomable”.
This is a woman with deep scheming.
"Have you been practicing dual cultivation with Jiaoyue?" Taoist Yunshan did not continue with the pleasantries, but suddenly got straight to the point.
As she spoke, she slowly stood up and looked at Lu Zhan quietly, her eyes were as gentle as water waves, but they were filled with surging oppression, and she locked her eyes on Lu Zhan tightly.
The pressure from the Creation Realm cannot be underestimated. If it were an ordinary person at the peak of the Mysterious Realm, he would probably be prostrated in an instant.
Lu Zhan, however, remained calm and showed no discomfort at all.
However, Lu Zhan was a little caught off guard by Taoist Yunshan's words. He didn't expect that Taoist Yunshan, who was just greeting him, would suddenly be so direct. He also didn't expect that Taoist Yunshan would know about his dual cultivation with Ling Jiaoyue.
Ling Jiaoyue would definitely not take the initiative to tell her master about this, but she had already seen through it and was so straightforward. This made Lu Zhan confused about her thoughts, so he simply said frankly: "Yes, Miss Ling and I each got the opportunity that day, but the opportunity requires the fusion of water and fire, so we had no choice but to do it."
There was no point in lying at this time, so Lu Zhan chose to tell the truth.
Taoist Yunshan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You had to do it? If you really had to do it, why did you escort her back?"
If she really had to do this, why did Ling Jiaoyue have a strange smell on her body?
Taoist Yunshan has had an extremely sensitive nose since she was young. After practicing Taoism, her sense of smell has reached a terrifying level, so much so that when she first saw Ling Jiaoyue, she smelled the faint fishy smell on her disciple.
She concluded on the spot that her apprentice was filled with something and it was overflowing.
If they really had to do it, they should have parted ways after the job was done. Why would they have stayed close to each other before coming to the Immortal Gate? To the extent that the things they left behind have not been separated until now?
