Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 65: Emperor Song? Is it possible that he just wants to retire?

"Stop talking, someone is coming."

Just as everyone was immersed in envy, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Immediately, everyone saw the people in front of them suddenly step aside and clear a spacious passage on the street.

Seeing this scene, everyone did not dare to be negligent. They quickly followed suit and divided into two sides, leaving the road clear.

Then, they nervously watched the road ahead, holding their breath.

Chen Chang'an and the others also followed the crowd's actions and stood on one side of the road, looking towards the front.

Soon, a group of people slowly walked from one side of the street.

Leading them were two individuals dressed in black and white robes.

The two of them walked with solemn and steady expressions, looking straight ahead.

Their cold aura made it clear that they were not to be approached, and people dared not meet their gaze.

Undoubtedly, these two individuals were the strongest subordinates of Emperor Song, known as 'Black-faced Yama' and 'White-faced Garuda'.

Behind them was a magnificent procession.

First, there were four tall demons with masks, green faces, and fangs, exuding a strong evil aura.

Then, there were nearly a hundred Yin soldiers and generals from the Hall of Rebirth, all dressed in black robes and wearing headgear.

Each of these Yin soldiers and generals had a huge Law Manifestation looming behind them, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Law Manifestation, a position that only the powerful individuals of the Four Realms could possess!

At this moment, everyone once again witnessed the true depth of the Great Teaching.

Magnificent, chilling, and not to be underestimated!

These Yin soldiers held a red gift in their hands, following behind Black-faced Yama and White-faced Garuda.

Their expressions were stern and their defenses were strict, suppressing everything to the extreme.

As the procession passed by the crowd, everyone felt a terrifying suffocating sensation that almost made it difficult to breathe.

It was oppressive, too oppressive, and terrifying!

In the end, they could only look at the Hall of Rebirth procession with awe as they departed.

"Phew!"

"That was close, it's finally over."

"That was really terrifying, I thought I was done for just now."

It wasn't until Black-faced Yama and the others had walked far away and disappeared around the corner that things began to change.

Beside them, Xuanqingzi muttered thoughtfully, "Truly worthy of being the leader of the 'Ten Venerables'. Just based on their aura alone, we cannot compare."

Li Ziwan and the others nodded in agreement.

Undoubtedly, the scene they had just witnessed had left a deep impact on them.

However, while everyone was still in shock, they did not notice that Mao Ruxue, who was standing nearby, had a look of astonishment on her face.

On the contrary, a faint smile appeared on her lips, making her look a bit foolish.

"Junior sister, did you eat something sweet? You're smiling so happily," Chen Chang'an patted the little girl's head and asked.

"No, no."

"Senior brother, I was just thinking, it would be great if I were 'Ksitigarbha'," Mao Ruxue shook her head and then expressed her longing.

"Ksitigarbha?" Chen Chang'an shook his head, "That's probably not possible."

Then, Chen Chang'an patted the little girl's forehead and said, "Look, I've given you so many good things, but you still haven't reached the Third Realm in cultivation."

"With your talent, it's not just becoming a remarkable woman like 'Ksitigarbha', even surviving in a place like the Hall of Rebirth where people kill without blinking is probably unlikely."

"I was hoping that a hundred years later, you would be the one to collect my corpse. Don't make it so that I have to go and collect your corpse instead. It's like the pot calling the kettle black."

"Hmph! Senior brother, who told you that you need strength to survive in a place like the Hall of Rebirth?"

"Sometimes, intelligence and effort are also a form of strength!"

"And, silly senior brother, who told you that I haven't reached the Third Realm yet?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue immediately pouted and retorted, but she didn't say the last sentence.

After speaking, Mao Ruxue secretly looked at her senior brother.

My silly senior brother, even though you have become a great scholar, I'm still ahead in this aspect.

Is it really because of my lack of talent that I haven't broken through to the Third Realm?

No!

To be honest, her progress in the cultivation of the Ziyang Heart Sutra and the Bodhi Rebirth Sutra is indeed very small.

However, she won't tell Chen Chang'an that she actually cultivates more than just these two techniques.

Practicing these two is just a facade, in reality, she spends all her free time practicing two other techniques.

The Sutra of Suffering and Joy! The Yin-Yang Secret Manual!

And she is also a fellow practitioner!

She had already mastered these two techniques a month ago.

Now, she is truly a high-level cultivator who practices both the Three Realms Path and the Buddha's Path.

It's just that she has hidden it with her methods and hasn't revealed it.

As for becoming Ksitigarbha?

Hmph!

My naive senior brother,

It's a pity that I can't reveal it, otherwise if I tell you my true identity, I'm afraid you'll be scared to death.

Mao Ruxue smiled and remained silent.

"Yes, yes, our junior sister is the smartest."

"She can even blend in at the Hall of Rebirth."

"But let's hurry up and go, the auction is about to start."

However, Chen Chang'an waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to say anything more.

He pointed ahead and said, "Oh, oh." Mao Ruxue nodded and followed.

"Wait, something's not right, senior brother. How did you know that Ksitigarbha is a girl?"

"I guessed."

The Tianxing Auction House was easy to find.

So, shortly after they came out, the group arrived outside the auction house.

After Chen Chang'an handed over the invitation, a servant immediately led them into a private room.

The private room was exquisite, with various facilities.

On the table, there were some spiritual fruits.

These fruits were not considered high-level, but they were not too low-level either.

To what extent?

Those at a higher level would look down on them, but those with lower cultivation might never have the chance to eat them in their lifetime.

The auction had not yet started. Chen Chang'an sat in his seat and looked at Xuanqingzi across from him, curiously asking, "Senior Brother Xuanqing, I saw that you seemed to be in a dilemma when we passed by the Black and White Impermanence at the Hall of Rebirth earlier. Did something happen?"

"Junior brother, sigh, you witnessed my embarrassment."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Xuanqingzi sighed deeply.

Then he continued, "The reason I was like that is because yesterday, before we set off, the sect master entrusted me with something."

Then, Xuanqingzi slowly explained the worries Li Daoran had talked to him about before their departure, as well as the matter of giving him ten thousand source stones.

"Sigh, junior brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill this task."

After speaking, Xuanqingzi shook his head bitterly.

Beings like the Black and White Impermanence were simply beyond his influence.

"Senior Brother Xuan, I don't think there's anything to worry about in this matter."

Chen Chang'an smiled after hearing Xuanqingzi's words.

"Not worried? Why?" Xuanqingzi was puzzled.

Chen Chang'an laughed and said, "Senior brother, is it possible that he never had any intention of meddling in the world?"

"Or perhaps, his initial idea was just to earn a living and make it easier to retire in the future."

Retire?

"Let's hope so."

After hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Xuanqingzi smiled bitterly again.

With Emperor Song's temperament, it's hard to imagine him having a reason to rule over a territory.

As for retirement?

That person has only been in the world for a mere ten years.

Ten years is too short for mortals.

For someone as powerful as him, it's possible that even a moment is not enough.

Ten years? He hasn't even reached the peak of this lifetime, so retirement? Is that possible?

After a bitter smile, Xuanqingzi changed the topic and talked about something else, because he knew that this topic was destined to have no conclusion.

And Chen Chang'an, seeing Xuanqingzi's expression, could easily guess what he was thinking, so he smiled and didn't say much.
