I thought that Ye Pianpian would restrain herself after seeing Spiritual Master Guan, but to my surprise, she directly walked in front of Spiritual Master Guan and stiffly asked, "Where's Nangong?"
Although Spiritual Master Guan and Ye Pianpian were old acquaintances, she was startled by her attitude. She frowned and asked, "Why are you looking for Junior Brother Nangong?"
Ye Pianpian seemed to finally realize that she had lost her composure. After a moment of silence, she answered, "It's a private matter that I can't tell you in detail. I hope Martial Aunt Guan can help me."
It was obvious that Spiritual Master Guan and Ye Pianpian had a good relationship. She wasn't angry at this moment, and her expression became amiable. She pointed at the Wen King's Hall behind her and said, "Junior Brother Nangong is still in the hall. The innate divination ceremony hasn't ended yet, so he won't come out until three days later."
Ye Pianpian raised her head and looked at the Wen King's Hall with an eager expression. However, she was still calm and just nodded, saying that she would wait outside for Nangong to come out.
Spiritual Master Guan didn't seem to care and said with a smile, "It's fine as long as it doesn't affect Junior Brother Nangong's ceremony to obtain the magic tool."
Ye Pianpian nodded again and walked to the entrance of the hall. She crossed her arms and stood there, looking as if she was going to guard Nangong to the death.
Spiritual Master Guan smiled and didn't say anything else before leaving with the other Daoists.
Of course, the fatty didn't follow them. He quietly slipped out of the crowd and came to my side. With a puzzled expression, he asked me, "What's wrong with Ye Pianpian?"
I wasn't sure if Ye Pianpian's secret was Ye Pianpian's, so it wasn't appropriate for me to tell the fatty. I forced a smile and spread my hands, changing the topic. "Your master said that it'll take around three days. Let's go talk to her."
The fatty and I went to Ye Pianpian's side. Before we could talk to her, she said, "I'll stay here to watch over Nangong. You two search around the Yellow Crown Mountain and see if you can find her."
Not only did I fail to talk to her, but I also added a difficult task to do.
The fat man was hesitant. He wanted to ask something, but I hurried to pull him away. After we left King Wen's Hall, the fat man shook my hand off and asked me with a puzzled face, "You two are acting so mysteriously. What are you doing?"
I didn't want to talk about Ye Maoleng before, but since Ye Pianpian had mentioned her in front of the fatty, I didn't want to hide anything. I simply told him about Ye Maoleng.
After hearing this, the fatty's eyes widened in disbelief. He said doubtfully, "How is this possible?
I've known Ye Pianpian for six or seven years, but I've never heard of her having a twin sister. "
I shook my head with a bitter smile. "Don't ask me. I've only seen Ye Pianpian twice. I don't know what their relationship is … but this is obviously very important to Ye Pianpian. We should try our best to help her."
Then, the fat man took me to the Taiyi Temple. We didn't find anything, so we left the temple. We walked along Mount Huang Guanshan from east to west. We carefully looked around, but we still didn't find anything.
When we returned to King Wen's Hall, it was almost dawn. Ye Pianpian was still standing outside the hall with her arms crossed. Not only did she not leave, but she didn't even change her position.
The fat man tried to persuade her for a long time, but Ye Pianpian didn't budge. In the end, we had no choice but to stay here and wait with Ye Pianpian.
Since we had Taoist energy, not eating or sleeping for three days wouldn't affect us much. Three days passed quickly, but there was still no movement in King Wen's Hall.
Ye Pianpian's frown deepened. She didn't stand still outside the hall anymore. Instead, she paced around the hall's gate. Sometimes, she lifted her head to look at the gate as if she wanted to break in.
I felt something was wrong, so I whispered to the fat man, "Did your master lie to Ye Pianpian?"
The fat man felt a little guilty, but he still told me that Nangong was there when they left King Wen's Hall. He saw it with his own eyes, so he couldn't be wrong.
Another day passed amidst our suffering. On the morning of the fourth day, the continuous ringing of a bell finally came from Prince Wen's hall. The three of us were startled and turned to look at the hall's door, waiting in silence.
Around half an hour later, the ringing of the bell finally disappeared. Then, we heard a squeaking sound from the gate. King Wen's Hall, which had been closed for several days, finally opened.
A figure wearing a plain Daoist robe walked out. It was Nangong.
He was in good spirits with a strange smile on his face. He didn't look surprised when he saw the three of us waiting outside. He walked to the gate and looked at us with a smile.
Ye Pianpian was the most impatient. She walked to Nangong and asked him coldly, "Where's Ye Pianpian?"
Nangong's smile didn't change. He answered casually, "She should still be on Mount Huang Guan. Why are you looking for her?"
Before Ye Pianpian could answer, the fat man and I said in unison, "That's impossible. We've searched Mount Huang Guan several times in the past few days, but we didn't find any trace of Ye Pianpian."
Nangong curled his lips. "You two are much weaker than Ye Pianpian. Isn't it normal that you can't find her?"
The fat man and I didn't know what to say. Ye Pianpian didn't mind. Her eyes didn't leave Nangong as she said, "Take me to see her."
Nangong nodded straightforwardly and led the way out of the monastery.
Ye Pianpian followed him without hesitation. The fat man and I exchanged glances and hurried to catch up with him.
On the way out of the hall, I kept my eyes on Nangong.
He had stayed in King Wen's Hall for four days to retrieve the inherited instrument of the divination sect. However, I didn't find any trace of the instrument after staring at him for a long time. I didn't know if he had succeeded or not.
After exiting the back gate of Extreme Celestial Monastery, we continued forward. It did not take long before we arrived outside the Heavenly Astral Pavilion, where I had met Nangong the other day. Nangong stopped and pointed forward. "There, Ye Maurolan is there."
I looked up and widened my eyes. Ye Pianpian was sitting on a stone bench in the Heavenly Pavilion, dressed in white. She was sitting in the same position as when I had seen her that night. She hadn't changed at all. It was as if she had been sitting there since that day.
When enemies came face to face, their eyes turned especially red. It was still uncertain whether Ye Pianpian and Ye Maolan were enemies, but there was no doubt that their eyes were red. The moment Ye Pianpian saw Ye Maolan, she walked straight into the pavilion.
The fat man and I were about to follow her, but Nangong stopped us and said with a smile, "This is between the two of them. Let's not go over there."
As soon as he said that, Ye Pianpian stopped and turned around to say, "Don't follow me." Then, she hurried into the pavilion and sat down on the stone bench opposite Ye Pianpian.
Due to the distance between us and the fact that the two of them were much stronger than me and the fat man, we couldn't hear their conversation.
The fat man was quick-witted and took advantage of this opportunity to ask Nangong with a smile, "Martial Uncle Nangong, who is this Ye Pianpian?"
Nangong chuckled and completely ignored him. He pulled me to the side and asked me, "Have you thought about it for the past few days?
I forgot to tell you that after you absorb the energy into the vein of the heavens, you only need to have Zhenren Guan set up a Spirit Locking Formation for you and place it on your jade bracelet. That way, the aura of the true dragon vein won't leak.
Moreover, I've already told Zhenren Guan about this. After he's done with it, he'll have Lin Hu send it over to you. You don't have to worry about this. "
I didn't have any secrets when facing Nangong, so I didn't find it strange at all. However, his enthusiasm made me even more vigilant.
It's said that those who are unaccountably solicitous are hiding evil intentions. He was helping me with all his might for no reason. What was he planning?
After hesitating for a while, I shook my head. "I'm timid and don't dare to take such a big risk. Wait until I have the ability to deal with the Celestial Master's pursuit before I consider raising this energy to the Glorious Knowledge realm."
This matter seemed to be his weakness. After hearing my words, the smile on his face faded. He said with slight anxiety, "You have to think this through. If you reach the Celestial Master realm with both types of energy, the Lu family definitely won't be your match!
However, if you only rely on Dao Qi to reach the Celestial Master realm, let alone Lu Ziyang, even if you want to kill Lu Zining who killed your parents, you'll have to spend at least a dozen years. Can you wait that long? "
I have to say, Nangong found a very good reason. The Lu family's vengeance was my weakness. For the sake of revenge, I didn't want to wait a second longer, let alone a dozen years.
Seeing that I was somewhat moved, Nangong struck while the iron was hot and continued, "I was at the scene on the day your parents were murdered. Lu Zining's cultivation was at most at the early stages of the Celestial Master realm. If you follow what I said and cultivate both types of energy, when you become a Celestial Master, you can easily kill him!
Even if you face Lu Ziyang, you'll have the power to fight! "
His words stunned me. It wasn't because I was shocked at the power of cultivating both types of energy, nor was it because I was curious about the Celestial Master realm. It was because Nangong said that he was at the scene on the day my parents were murdered!
Although I was used to him knowing all of my secrets, this matter was completely different. My mind went blank. I extended my hand and grabbed Nangong's collar. I shouted at him, "Since you were at the scene, why didn't you help me?
Why didn't you save my parents? "
