Chapter 20: Bai Lian, You Will Never Have to Be Alone! (1)
“What happened, Lord Master?”
After the leader’s words were transmitted, four or five people suddenly rushed into the dimly lit room.
The leader furrowed his brows, then turned his head to take a look.
Oh.
There were the juniors who had followed him down from the Immortal World.
His heart dropped slightly at the mention of it.
But he had been careless!
He hadn’t confirmed whether Bai Lian was the Moral Heavenly Lord, and yet he had spoken about it openly.
Although these young ones were from the Path of Wanjie Dharma, just like him…
Since the Path Master of the Path of Wanjie Dharma disappeared, the faction had split into several branches.
Among them, some people secretly wished to prevent the Path Master’s return.
There was no other reason.
Even without the Path Master, the Path of Wanjie Dharma remained a first-rate power in the Immortal World, though it couldn’t challenge the sects created by the Heavenly Lords.
Once the Path Lord returned…
The Path Master might not punish them, after all, she had always been magnanimous.
But it was certain that when the authority of the Path of Wanjie Dharma returned to her hands, those people’s days of prosperity would come to an end.
Those already accustomed to wielding great power would certainly seek ways to prevent the Path Lord’s return.
“The journey ahead is long and arduous…”
The leader sighed silently in his heart.
Just like what he had received before leaving the Immortal World, from the dreamy mist.
He must pay a price to successfully pass through this “ordeal”.
“Before me is the Moral Heavenly Lord Bai Lian, and behind me are friends of unknown loyalty… can I not give up something for them?”
The leader smiled wryly.
He shook his head at the few people and said, “It’s nothing major, I was just wondering if the disappearance of the Path Lord had something to do with the Moral Heavenly Lord.”
He wasn’t sure if those present believed his words.
Anyway.
After a while, the people who had rushed in slowly withdrew.
The room returned to peace and quiet.
The fragrant light purple smoke wafted in the candlelight, carrying a spirit-lifting scent.
The leader released himself from this world temporarily by using his Immortal Spirit Qi so no one would know what he had been discussing with Lu Wantong.
He had to check carefully.
If Bai Lian was truly the reincarnation of the Moral Heavenly Lord…
That was a serious problem.
He had to suspect whether all this was secretly orchestrated by Bai Lian!
“White Emperor Bai Lian?”
Thinking of the title, the leader’s palms began to sweat.
Did he need to rush and bring Lu Wantong back?
He quickly dismissed the thought.
No.
Lu Wantong couldn’t leave.
Once she was recalled, Bai Lian would sense something was wrong, even if she hadn’t noticed the issue before.
Just bear it.
There was no turning back now!
[What else is worth noticing about Bai Lian?]
Lu Wantong: [Worth noting?]
[The difference between Bai Lian and other people.]
Lu Wantong: [I understand.]
Speaking of the difference between Bai Lian and other people…
When Lu Wantong thought of something, she first remembered Bai Lian always writing at her desk.
[Recently, Bai Lian always returns home at 11 pm. She doesn’t have any bad habits. She goes to bed at the exact time, and before sleeping, she always sits at her desk to write for half an hour, then takes a short break. Her life is so well-regulated that it doesn’t sound like someone who is cultivated.]
Indeed.
The leader nodded.
Can a cultivator who doesn’t stay up late even call himself a cultivator?
Those who can stay up until the early morning are Qi Refining Stage novices. Those who can stay up all night are Foundation Establishment Stage newbies. And those who can go without sleep are no longer ordinary people.
Bai Lian had a problem!
The leader made a note of it.
He reminded Lu Wantong to find a way to see what Bai Lian wrote.
Lu Wantong agreed.
Then she remembered something else.
[Bai Lian receives blessings from Heaven very frequently, almost once every day.]
The leader opened his mouth.
No wonder Bai Lian’s cultivation base grew so quickly! She was cheating!
Another note.
[I heard that…]
Lu Wantong relayed everything she had heard from Tong Yao about Bai Lian’s deeds.
This was definitely firsthand news.
After all…
It was all fabricated by Tong Yao to turn Lu Wantong into a brainless fan of Bai Lian!
[I also wondered if these things might be false, so I asked a few Duxian sect disciples I didn’t know to verify them.]
The leader: [Are they true?]
[Yes, they are.]
Lu Wantong recalled the reactions of those passers-by.
Their expressions changed as if it were carved from a mold.
First, they were shocked.
Then, they wore an awkward expression, like they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.
Finally, they slowly lowered their right hands and said solemnly, “No, surely no one has never heard of these things, right?”
Don’t mention how embarrassed Lu Wantong felt when they said that.
She stood in the wind, pitifully like a slime girl about to melt away.
“I… I just joined the Duxian sect a few days ago.”
She explained.
“I see!”
When she said that, those people finally stopped staring at her strangely.
[In two days, I went to ask again, and as expected, most of the people in the Duxian sect knew about these things.]
Subduing demons, building bridges, delivering messages…
Well.
This is the standard Red Dust Refinement Cultivation Method.
At that time, Bai Lian hadn’t yet awoken to the memories of her past life.
Could this be what is called triggering “muscle memory”?
The leader’s face suddenly became serious.
Record, record…
No way.
The leader threw the pen out of frustration. If he continued, his head would be full of thoughts about Bai Lian!
He was the Path Lord’s person! He would never betray the Path of Wanjie Dharma!
Bai Lian had better not even think of establishing a place in his mind!
“My will is like a rock. The rock doesn’t move, my will doesn’t change.”
The leader still couldn’t determine whether Bai Lian was the Moral Heavenly Lord. He decided to let Lu Wantong verify it again.
He immediately told her about some of the traits and characteristics of the Moral Heavenly Lord.
[See if she does these things normally.]
Lu Wantong made a note.
Do as you can.
If there are obstacles, don’t do it.
She didn’t want to break through the barricade forcefully and end up getting covered in blood.
The leader in the Sand Region, it was her responsibility to take charge if something went wrong.
How could she, a young girl, bear such a responsibility?
Before leaving the Guangtong Sect, Lu Wantong still remembered to ask about her father’s current situation.
After hearing that her father’s injuries were under control, she suddenly felt that all the efforts she had made so far weren’t in vain.
The girl walked out of the Public Communication Jade Slip Pavilion with excitement.
The sun was shining outside the pavilion.
She tilted her head back, covering her right hand with her forehead, and gazed off into the cotton candy-like clouds.
In the blink of an eye, summer was coming.
That was the season when life was burning.
“Keep going, Lu Wantong!”
Lu Wantong clenched her fist.
This punch was to be driven deep into the body of Bai Lian, to create a path all the way to heaven!
She seemed to see the future swaying before her eyes, like a mischievous elf she could capture with just a reach of her hand.
“When the time comes, I’ll take my father away from the Sand Region, far away, and find a place to settle down overseas.”
Lu Wantong murmured.
