Qiong Qi was brimming with joy when he met his true owner. It wagged its tail and ran into the hall excitedly.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Mingshi Yin was rather speechless when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do. When he finally arrived at the heart of the hall, he lifted his head and saw Qiong Qi behaving affectionately with an unfamiliar young man who was even more handsome than him! How could his heart endure this injustice?
Mingshi Yin walked over lazily and said,?“Seventh Junior Brother, who’s this person sitting in master’s position? Is he tired of living?”
Si Wuya felt speechless. What was it that everyone around him made such a low-level mistake? Moreover, could his Fourth Senior Brother not see how submissive Qiong Qi was to their master?
Mingshi Yin did not wait for Si Wuya’s response. Instead, he swaggered toward Qiong Qi and said sternly, “Hey, doggy, come here! Look at your useless appearance; aren’t you ashamed?”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Si Wuya sighed and finally said, “Fourth Senior Brother, you’re really bold. How can you act so atrociously in front of master?”
“Master? Where’s master?” Ming Shiyin looked to the left and the right before his gaze fell on the unfamiliar handsome young man. He was about to reprimand the young man when the young man’s profound gaze and calm expression stopped him. The young man’s aura was as deep as the sea and unfathomable. Since he could not sense the young man’s cultivation base, he knew very well what it meant.
This gaze, this aura, this mannerism. A strange thought appeared in Mingshi Yin’s mind. Was it possible?
Si Wuya caught all the expressions that flitted through Ming Shiyin’s face; first, there was anger, followed by amusement. Then, there was confusion and shock before it finally settled on nervousness.
Si Wuya decided to put Mingshi Yin out of his misery. He waved his hand at Mingshi Yin with an expression that seemed to say, “You’ve guessed correctly…”
Lu Zhou stared at Mingshi Yin so intently that Mingshi Yin felt goosebumps erupting on his skin. He fell to his knees immediately with a loud thud. Then, with a sorrowful expression on his face, he said, “I knew it was a bad omen when I dreamt of Old Eighth! Master, please spare my life!”
Lu Zhou was puzzled. “What does this have to do with Old Eighth?”
“No, it’s nothing. Forget about that. Master, you can’t punish me for something I have no knowledge of. No matter how observant I am, it’s really difficult to recognize you now that you’ve undergone such a huge change!”
“As your master, how can I not punish you for insubordination?” Lu Zhou asked with a straight face.
“Ah?”
Lu Zhou continued to say, “I’ve discussed this with Old Seventh, and I plan to send you to the purple lotus domain to retrieve the blue crystals.” Then, he brought out a blue crystal and placed it in front of Mingshi Yin.
“Purple lotus domain? Blue crystals?” Ming Shiyin was unable to process so much information. It was already difficult enough for him to process his master’s youthful appearance, and now, there was the sudden mention of the purple lotus domain and blue crystals.
Si Wuya explained, “We learned from the Black Emperor, Mu Ertie, that two of the blue crystals are in the purple lotus domain. In the Evil Sky Pavilion, only Fourth Senior Brother is the most suitable to carry out this mission.”
“The purple lotus domain… must be very strong, right? Why don’t I return to the golden lotus domain to search for the blue crystals?” Mingshi Yin asked.
“What do you think?” Lu Zhou asked.
Mingshi Yin seemed to lose all of his strength immediately. He thought to himself, ‘Can’t I even pretend to struggle a little?’
Si Wuya said, “Fourth senior brother, you don’t have to worry. Two days ago, I obtained some information about the purple lotus domain from the Lu clan. The cultivation of the people in the purple lotus domain is roughly similar to those in the red lotus domain. With your cultivation base, it shouldn’t be a problem…”
“But... But I only have ten leaves!”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
‘You ungrateful dog! I’ll f*cking stew you and eat you later!’
Lu Zhou looked at Ming Shiyin and said, “I’ve always felt at ease when you carry out missions. This matter can only be entrusted to you.”
Ming Shiyin could only prostrate himself and say, “Understood.”
Si Wuya asked curiously, “Fourth senior brother, didn’t you enjoy going out in the past? Isn’t this mission suitable for you?”
Ming Shiyin said with a forced smile on his face,?“No, no, I still like going out now.”
In truth, Mingshi Yin had been abnormally tired recently. All he wanted to do was sleep.
“That’s good. Rest for a few days before you leave for the mission. Someone will lead to the runic passage in Great Yuan’s royal court,” Lu Zhou said.
“Yes.” Mingshi Yin rose to his feet. Then, he glanced at Qiong Qi who was lying near Lu Zhou’s feet and called out, “Doggy…”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Qiong Qi was clearly unwilling to leave.
“...”
Lu Zhou glanced at Qiongqi. It had grown very strong under Mingshi Yin’s care. He waved his sleeve and said, “Go…”
Qiong Qi barked twice before it followed Mingshi Yin out of the Preservation Hall.
Before Mingshi Yin left, he said, “I promise to complete the mission successfully.”
After Mingshi Yin left, Si Wuya turned around and brought out a hand-drawn map. “Master, this is the latest change on the ancient goatskin map.”
Since the ancient goatskin map was too big, Si Wuya drew it on a smaller scale for convenience’s sake.
Lu Zhou looked at the map.
Si Wuya explained, “According to Tower Master Lan, there are the Four Great Uncharted Lands. One of them should be the Great Void, the most dangerous place of all. The other three places should be on the opposite side of the Great Void. If I’m not mistaken, there are only three ways to go to these places: the Black Water Mystic Cave that’s incredibly dangerous, the Endless Ocean that’s not only dangerous but it’s also the longest way, and the Unknown Land that’s deadly.
Lu Zhou asked, “Are you sure the map you drew is accurate?”
“I’m not 100% sure. This is just my speculation,” Si Wuya replied, “I have been researching the ancient books along with those from the Sky Research Court. However, there’s not much information in the red lotus domain’s ancient books. I’m planning to ask the Lu clan to help me collect ancient books on this subject.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “You should be on the right track. Perhaps, this is why the heaven and earth shackles exist.”
Si Wuya was slightly startled and said, “I didn’t think of that.”
“Continue to investigate. Don’t let your cultivation fall behind,” Lu Zhou said.
“Understood.”
Si Wuya said again, “Master, the Evil Sky Pavilion members all know about the change in your appearance by now. However, I’ve told them to keep this to themselves to avoid misunderstandings like the one in the Lu clan.”
“You made a good call,” Lu Zhou nodded and said, “The ancestor of the Lu clan was born 30,000 years ago. Since he was a famous figure, many people must have known him, and he must have many enemies…”
Si Wuya’s decision could spare Lu Zhou a lot of trouble. He felt helpless; it was rather troublesome as well to be so handsome and young…
…
In the verdant Ivy Palace.
Qin Mo Shang’s eyelids twitched violently as though heralding bad news.
At this moment, a man dressed in elegant robes walked in and said, “Young Master Qin, it’s been confirmed; the ghost servant is dead.”
Qin Mo Shang’s eyes that were brimming with hatred widened. “Even the ghost servant isn’t a match for him?”
“Young Master Qin, let’s forget about this matter. If the Clan Leader finds out, we’ll be in big trouble.”
Qin Moshang felt suffocated.
The man continued to say, “As the saying goes, ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’. There’s no need for us to rush since the opponent is stronger now. Why don’t we blame the death of the ghost servant and your loss of a Birth Chart on the fierce beasts? With this excuse, you’ll be able to openly look for Daoist Master Qin to repair your Birth Chart…”
Qin Moshang clenched his hands into fists tightly.
The man lowered his voice and said word by word, “Bear with it and let go for now. Young Master Qin, you have a high innate talent and aptitude for cultivation. When the time comes, won’t it be more satisfying for you to personally capture those people compares to sending the ghost servants to kill them?”
Qin Moshang nodded and said through gritted teeth, “Alright. I’ll bear with it for now!”
