Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 91: Shao Si Requests Permission, City God Betrays!

"Divination Master! What do you know about Chen Chang'an?!" After Yama finished speaking, there was no reaction from the people below, but Mao Ruxue, sitting on the Ksitigarbha seat, exclaimed in an instant.

In her urgency, she almost blurted out the words "Senior Brother."

"Hmm? Ksitigarbha, what's the matter?" Yama asked, puzzled, upon seeing Mao Ruxue's exclamation.

Seeing Mao Ruxue's surprise, Yama was momentarily stunned. Then he asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Yama Wang?"

"It's nothing, Your Excellency Yama. I'm just a little surprised," Mao Ruxue replied, shaking her head.

Mao Ruxue referring to herself as "in this humble one" when addressing Yama was not unusual. In the Hall of Rebirth, this form of address was only used when subordinates referred to the leader of their respective halls. As for the masters of the other halls, they were always addressed as "in this humble one." For example, the Heavenly Demon female "Shao Si Ming" of the Meng Po lineage and others would only refer to Chen Chang'an as "in this humble one," not as a subordinate. Of course, this special form of address only existed among those above the "Great Yinsi." For others, no matter which hall master they encountered, they would always address themselves as "subordinate" to adhere to proper etiquette. They dared not do otherwise.

After Mao Ruxue finished speaking, her expression instantly changed back. In the blink of an eye, the surprise on her face disappeared, replaced by a calm demeanor. All her actions changed in an instant, leaving people feeling a little strange, but not thinking too much about it.

"Oh? Surprised?" Yama was puzzled, clearly not understanding the meaning behind Mao Ruxue's words.

Then, Mao Ruxue changed her tone and calmly said, "I'm surprised that the erudite scholar Chen Chang'an from Tianshui is the person I am responsible for in my area."

"I see," Yama nodded in understanding.

"Alright, please sit down," Yama said.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Mao Ruxue nodded in response.

She then sat back in her seat, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

Seeing Mao Ruxue sit down, Yama reiterated the previous topic, saying, "Well, let's proceed with the previous agenda."

"Tianshui's Chen Chang'an," Yama began his long-winded opening speech.

It seemed that leaders in every world had a common problem - they liked to ramble on during meetings and not get to the point. Yama was no exception.

As a result, while he was enjoying himself, the people below were all looking drowsy.

There was nothing else to it; it was just too boring.

And precisely because it was boring, Mao Ruxue leaned against White Impermanence and quietly asked, "Sister Bai, I'm a bit confused. Why do we need to investigate this Chen Chang'an from Tianshui?"

White Impermanence was a little surprised to hear Mao Ruxue ask a question here, but she patiently replied, "Sister Ksitigarbha, you have just been promoted to our level, so there may be many things you don't know."

"You don't know that Chen Chang'an from the Heavenly Water Sect," White Impermanence continued, "used to be an unknown figure."

"But suddenly, he made a name for himself," she said.

"In an instant, he went from one realm to another, becoming a great scholar. Not only does he possess the position of a Confucian scholar, but he can also rally the gods of the Formless World to fight for him."

"It's terrifying!"

"Although it is rumored that his lifespan is not long," she said, "we cannot take it lightly."

"Although our Hall of Rebirth is said to be above the other ten halls," she said, "we still have to maintain good relations with some beings in the Formless World."

"Chen Chang'an is too young," she said.

"A genius like him, throughout the endless ages of the Formless World, has never been seen before."

"Such a talented person, no one can be sure if he will break through again."

"If he does break through, it could be to a terrifying extent."

"Therefore, although he is just a great scholar," she said, "his attitude is equally important to our Hall of Rebirth."

"After all, the Great Era is coming soon."

"The Great Era?" Mao Ruxue was puzzled when she heard this.

But this time, White Impermanence did not explain further.

Mao Ruxue didn't ask any more questions after seeing this.

"Oh, I understand now. Thank you, Sister White Impermanence."

She nodded at White Impermanence, seemingly understanding what White Impermanence had said.

In fact, what White Impermanence didn't know was that among the people in the Hall of Rebirth, the one who knew Chen Chang'an the best was the seemingly ignorant newcomer, Ksitigarbha.

However, in the next moment, Mao Ruxue asked, "Sister Impermanence, I have a question."

"If Chen Chang'an from Tian Shui poses such a great threat to us, why don't we take him out first?"

After asking the question, Mao Ruxue sat down, pretending to be calm, but her heart was already filled with anxiety.

She really didn't expect that on the first day of the general hall meeting, the topic of discussion would be their senior brother.

This was really unexpected.

She was completely unprepared.

"Sister Ksitigarbha, your proposal is good," Mao Ruxue said, but it's not feasible."

After Mao Ruxue spoke, White Impermanence shook her head and spoke.

"Chen Chang'an from Tian Shui is a highly respected scholar. He is not someone we can easily kill."

"There are too many karmic entanglements involved."

"Moreover, his combat power is not weak. His combat power is at least equivalent to a 'True King' in our realm. If we want to deal with him, we would need to send at least a 'Great Power' at the seventh realm."

"But that's not realistic."

"Every 'Great Power' in our demonic sect almost always has a corresponding opponent in the Daoist sect."

"We can't spare any extra combat power to confront Chen Chang'an."

"And even if someone does go, it's not certain that they can do anything to him."

"Therefore, it's better to try to win him over."

"If we can't win him over, then we should try to obtain the secrets in his hands as much as possible."

After speaking, White Impermanence smiled slightly, her smile gentle.

No one knew that the infamous White Impermanence, known for her cold-blooded killings, was actually a gentle and virtuous older sister in private.

"Oh, I see," White Impermanence didn't know that after hearing her words, Mao Ruxue let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, at this moment, Yama's speech on the main seat was coming to an end.

"Considering all the factors, it is necessary for us to explore the secrets of this Tian Shui scholar."

"So, everyone, who do you think is the best person to approach Chen Chang'an from Tian Shui?"

After speaking, Yama looked at the people in the hall.

For a moment, the hall fell into a brief silence, no one spoke, as if they were all thinking.

"How about letting 'Ksitigarbha' go?" After thinking for a while, a Yin Judge spoke, his words pointed directly at Mao Ruxue.

He was a Yin Judge dressed in a white Yin Judge robe, and on his hat, there was a large '巳' character.

'Snake', a direct subordinate of Yama Hall!

"Oh? What's the reason?" Yama looked at the man and asked.

'Snake' replied, "My lord, I believe that the Yin Judge 'Ksitigarbha' has just arrived."

"We don't know about her abilities."

"This investigation is a good opportunity for us to see her abilities."

"And the area that 'Ksitigarbha' is in charge of happens to be the vicinity of Tian Shui where Chen Chang'an is."

"I think it's most appropriate for 'Ksitigarbha' to go this time."

"So, I think it's best for 'Ksitigarbha' to go."

After 'Snake' finished speaking, he looked at Black and White Impermanence on the opposite side.

At this moment, both Black and White Impermanence's faces were not good.

Even their brows were slightly furrowed.

Anyone present could go on this mission, except for 'Ksitigarbha'.

The Hall of Rebirth always pays attention to avoiding suspicion.

As 'Snake' said, the area under 'Ksitigarbha's' jurisdiction includes all the regions of the Underworld Sea.

And Chen Chang'an from Tian Shui is in the Underworld Sea.

In this situation, 'Ksitigarbha', as the powerful Yin Judge in charge of the Hall of Rebirth, cannot easily go out and make contact with him.

Otherwise, there would be a great risk of exposing her identity!

As mentioned earlier, except for a few people like Black and White Impermanence and Yama who don't need to hide their identities, most people in the Hall of Rebirth have always kept their identities secret.

They have their own identities outside of the Hall of Rebirth.

And 'Ksitigarbha', who always wears a mask when coming to the Hall of Rebirth, is obviously one of them.

If her identity in the outside world is exposed, it goes without saying what she will face.

Moreover, now 'Ksitigarbha' has just obtained the position of 'True King'.

It is the time for her to consolidate her cultivation in seclusion.

At this time, letting her interact with someone like Chen Chang'an from Tianshui would only bring her endless tribulations.

So, this 'Snake' clearly has ill intentions!

But this is not surprising.

Although the Hall of Rebirth is known as a force, the relationships between the major forces inside are not as good as they appear on the surface.

Just like the 'Snake'.

He has always been at odds with Emperor Song Hall, constantly opposing the Yin Judges of Emperor Song Hall!

If he didn't say this now, it would be abnormal!

However, regardless of normalcy, the words of the 'Snake' are undoubtedly trying to send 'Ksitigarbha', the newly appointed Yin Judge of Emperor Song Hall, to her death!

It is a provocation to Emperor Song Hall.

Immediately, Black and White Impermanence became angry and were about to retort and curse at the 'Snake'.

"I also think it is more appropriate for 'Ksitigarbha' to go." However, before Black and White Impermanence could speak, a voice immediately echoed in the hall.

This was not a big deal.

But when Black and White Impermanence saw who was speaking, their eyes instantly burst into flames.

Because this person was none other than their fellow [City God]!

"'City God', what do you mean?" White Impermanence and Black Impermanence looked at City God with cold eyes and asked.

At the same time, in addition to Black and White Impermanence, there were more than a dozen other major Yin Judges present.

They all looked at City God with incredulous eyes.

Not only these Yin Judges, even the first-ranked Yama was also surprised.

City God has always been dissatisfied with Emperor Song, which is something that everyone in the Hall of Rebirth agrees on.

But they never expected that he would erupt at this moment.

On the other hand, in the face of everyone's astonishment, City God acted as if he hadn't seen it.

Hearing White Impermanence's cold words, he calmly said:

"No meaning, just expressing my opinion normally."

"Could it be that Miss White and Mr. Black don't allow me to express my opinion here?"

"You!"

Seeing City God's arrogant tone, Black Impermanence didn't mind, but White Impermanence's eyes were about to burst into flames.

She pointed at City God and was about to curse at him.

"Sister, calm down a bit."

At this time, Black Impermanence, who was relatively calm, held White Impermanence back.

Then, Black Impermanence looked at City God and said:

"'City God', as one of the four major Yin Judges of our Hall of Rebirth, you naturally have the right to express your opinions here."

"But I want to tell you that there are some things that you can't just say."

"Sometimes, it's better to be a little more cautious."

Although there was no anger in Black Impermanence's words, perceptive people could sense the hidden sharpness within.

Within that sharpness was endless threat.

This undisguised threat immediately made City God's face look unsightly.

Because Black Impermanence's words indirectly involved someone he didn't dare to provoke.

Emperor Song!

Although City God is dissatisfied with Chen Chang'an, he would never dare to openly confront him!

Black Impermanence didn't care about City God's dissatisfaction.

After saying those words to City God, he stood up and looked at Yama, who was sitting in the main seat.

Then he slightly bowed and said:

"Sir, I think it is not appropriate to send 'Ksitigarbha' on this matter."

"'Ksitigarbha' has just obtained the position of 'True King' and her cultivation is not yet stable. She cannot afford to undertake such a demanding task."

"Moreover, Chen Chang'an's attitude towards our Hall of Rebirth is still unclear."

"If we let 'Ksitigarbha' go now, there might be unforeseen accidents."

"At that time, our Hall of Rebirth may lose a 'True King', which is not worth it."

"Therefore, I believe that it is not suitable to send 'Ksitigarbha' on this matter."

"Of course, the final decision still rests with you, sir."

After speaking, Black Impermanence bowed to Yama again and then sat back in his seat.

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable."

Upon hearing Black Impermanence's words, Yama pondered and nodded.

There is no other reason, Yama also agrees more with Black Impermanence's point of view.

Although Ksitigarbha is a member of Emperor Song Hall, she is also one of the few 'True Kings' in the Hall of Rebirth.

If a 'True King' were to be lost before she has fully grown, it would be a huge blow to the Hall of Rebirth.

They cannot afford such a loss!

"Then, shall I go?"

At this moment, a senior Yinsi who had been sitting in the corner spoke up.

It was none other than the Heavenly Witch of Meng Po Temple, "Shao Siming"!

I saw a woman dressed in a white robe standing there.

She had a tall and graceful figure.

Although her face was not visible, judging from her flawless figure and her clear and ethereal voice, it was not difficult to guess that she was an unparalleled beauty!

"Hmm, that works too."

Upon seeing Shao Siming from Meng Po Temple stepping forward, Yama nodded.

Compared to the newly arrived Ksitigarbha, Shao Siming was a long-established "True King".

With her strength, she could easily deal with Tian Shui Chen Chang'an.

Even if she was exposed, there would be no problem.

"Sir, I also request to go."

At this moment, the City God on the side also spoke up.

"Alright, it will be the two of you then." Yama nodded.

Then, he turned to the City God and said,

"City God, you have been on the path for a long time, and you are considered a senior to Shao Siming and the others, so this time, you will take the lead."

"Alright, I will not disappoint you and the Emperor, and will give the Emperor a satisfactory answer."

Upon hearing this, the City God quickly nodded and agreed.

"So, Shao Siming, do you have any objections?"

After speaking, Yama looked at everyone, especially focusing on Shao Siming.

"Sir, I have no objections." Shao Siming bowed and replied.

"Good, then it's settled. Let's adjourn."

Seeing that everything was settled, Yama did not delay any further and disbanded the meeting.

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing Yama's words, the Yinsi also bowed and then went their separate ways.

However, this time, the City God did not leave with White Impermanence and the other two.

"Sister Bai, what about the City God?"

Walking on the road, Mao Ruxue asked White Impermanence in confusion.

Honestly, Mao Ruxue was still confused until now.

She didn't understand why the City God suddenly had a disagreement with Emperor Song at this time.

White Impermanence nodded and then continued,

"Sister Ksitigarbha, you are new here, so you may not know."

"The City God is not angry with us."

"But with the Lord."

"Angry with the Lord?"

Mao Ruxue was puzzled when she heard this, not understanding what this so-called anger was all about.

White Impermanence nodded, and then she continued,

"Ah, sister, you don't know."

"He is different from the three of us who were raised by the Lord since childhood."

"The City God is someone who joined halfway."

"Joined halfway?"

Mao Ruxue was puzzled again, never expecting to hear the term "joined halfway" here.

"Yes, joined halfway."

White Impermanence nodded, and then she seemed to be lost in memories as she continued,

"This City God comes from a hidden Great Demon sect."

"He has always been cruel and bloodthirsty, very murderous!"

A few years ago, when the Lord was still Ksitigarbha, this old demon forcefully settled in the Hall of Rebirth."

"And competed with the Lord for the position of Emperor Song."

"But he lost in the competition."

According to the agreement with the Lord, he was forced to stay in the Emperor Song Hall and serve as the City God."

"In these years, as the Lord's cultivation and realm improved, the City God became more and more afraid of the Lord, and his dissatisfaction with the Lord grew."

"Because in his eyes, the reason why the Lord was able to improve so quickly was entirely because he stole his opportunities."

"I just didn't expect him to erupt at this time."

"Sister Ksitigarbha, you've been worried."

White Impermanence said, comforting Mao Ruxue with lingering fear.

Then, she smiled gently at Mao Ruxue.

Oh my, the City God is dissatisfied with the Lord?

Upon hearing White Impermanence's words, Mao Ruxue was shocked.

She never expected that the seemingly unremarkable City God would have such a big issue in his heart.

And, dare to be dissatisfied with Emperor Song, who is so powerful?

How bold he must be!

Immediately, she asked curiously,

"Sister Bai, the City God actually dares to be dissatisfied with the Lord?"

"Does the Lord know about this?"

"Know or not know," White Impermanence nodded, then shook her head.

These actions that don't make sense, Mao Ruxue suddenly couldn't understand them again.

So, does he know or not?

"If you ask if the adult knows or not, then it's definitely that he knows."

"There is nothing that the adult doesn't know about what happens in this one acre and three fen of land."

"The same goes for the matter of [City God]."

"But because [City God] is very good at being a person, he has never openly expressed this dissatisfaction in front of the adult."

"So the adult doesn't bother with this matter."

"So I said, the adult knows, and also doesn't know."

"In this way, Sister Ksitigarbha, do you understand?"

"Oh, thank you, Sister Bai, I roughly understand."

Upon hearing White Impermanence's words, Mao Ruxue nodded.

She probably understood what was going on.

The general meaning is that Emperor Song knows that there is such an unreliable factor as [City God].

But because this person is usually not so detached, he doesn't bother with it.

Mao Ruxue didn't find anything strange about this.

After all, for someone like Emperor Song, who is an extraordinary existence.

The existence of [City God] is really not worth his attention.

Then, the three of them walked a distance.

At this time, the three of them had already arrived at the gate of Emperor Song's palace.

After arriving here, the three of them bid farewell and separated.

Originally, Black and White Impermanence wanted to keep Mao Ruxue in Emperor Song's palace for a while.

After all, they had some free time recently and could conveniently teach Mao Ruxue how to handle some affairs.

But Mao Ruxue politely declined their invitation and said goodbye, saying that she wanted to go back.

Her reason was that she had just made a breakthrough and needed some time to settle and cultivate.

And there were also matters to handle in the Nether Sea, so she had to go back as soon as possible.

Black and White Impermanence didn't find anything wrong with Mao Ruxue's reasons. After a little thought, they both expressed their support.

And they personally accompanied Mao Ruxue to the teleportation array leading to the Nether Sea.

After instructing her to come back and cultivate well, and that they would send someone to help if there was anything, they left.

However, what the two of them didn't know was that after Mao Ruxue arrived in the Nether Sea, she didn't go to the place of cultivation.

Instead, she hurriedly found the teleportation array that led to the Heavenly Water Domain and slipped in.

Then, in less than a few tens of minutes, she came from the distant headquarters of the Nether Sea to Heavenly River City below the Heavenly Water Sect.

Afterwards, she swiftly moved again.

Directly arriving halfway up Hidden Dao Mountain.

After arriving here, she looked around.

Until she found that nothing unusual had happened, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she converted her spiritual power and took off her black robe.

After putting on her usual clothes, she walked towards the mountaintop.

Along the way, the mountain was still the same as when she left a few days ago, with no changes at all.

She still didn't see her senior brother's figure in the main hall of the front mountain.

After arriving at the Sutra Pavilion in the back mountain, she unexpectedly saw her senior brother lying half reclined in a lounge chair in the courtyard, just like a salted fish.

Facing the setting sun, he held a book in his hand and read it carefully.

Seeing this scene, Mao Ruxue couldn't help but smile.

It's great, senior brother is still there.

This kind of life is what she wants.

"You girl, since you're back, why don't you come in instead of standing outside the door and smiling foolishly?"

Just then, Chen Chang'an's voice came from the courtyard.

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's voice, Mao Ruxue quickly said:

"Senior brother, you misunderstood."

"I didn't deliberately linger outside the door and not come in."

"It's just that when I saw how handsome you were, I was momentarily fascinated, that's all."

"What's the matter?"

"You little girl, are you saying that you didn't come in because you saw how handsome I am?" Chen Chang'an put down the book in his hand and said impatiently.

"In that case, can I come in now?"

"Senior brother, how was my trip down the mountain this time?"

After Mao Ruxue walked in, Chen Chang'an asked.

This time, Mao Ruxue's reason for going down the mountain was the same as the one Chen Chang'an made up before, to experience the mortal world.

Chen Chang'an didn't plan to expose it.

Instead, he went through the process and asked again.

"Senior brother, it went well. Look, I made a breakthrough in my cultivation."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue burst into laughter.

Then, she extended her hand, and a mysterious aura began to swirl around her.

After a moment, this aura condensed behind her into the form of a Law Manifestation.

The Law Manifestation was a woman.

A beautiful and talented woman!

Her aura was majestic, and her gaze was cold.

As if she came from ancient times.

A gaze that had witnessed a thousand years!

"Junior sister, you...you've broken through the fourth realm?!"

Chen Chang'an exclaimed in surprise, his words incoherent.

"Hehe, senior brother, how about that? Am I amazing?"

Seeing her senior brother's astonished expression, Mao Ruxue immediately had an infinite smile on her face, her crescent-shaped eyes turning into slits.

"Amazing!"

"Junior sister, you really are sent by heaven to save our Hidden Dao Mountain!"

"Our Hidden Dao Mountain is saved!"

The excitement and astonishment on Chen Chang'an's face remained unchanged.

Then, he took Mao Ruxue to the grave of Yang Han, the old mountain master, and they fervently prayed together, promising to take good care of her and never let her be burdened.

He said a lot of reassuring words, which helped ease the excitement.

And then, there was nothing more.

The next day, when Mao Ruxue woke up, she realized that her senior brother Chen Chang'an seemed to have forgotten what she said yesterday.

He still ordered her around as usual.

Boiling water, cooking rice, going down the mountain to buy groceries.

Ah, ah, ah~!

As a fourth realm cultivator, how could she only do menial tasks every day!

Mao Ruxue was truly at a loss for words.

In other families, a fourth realm cultivator would be treated like an ancestor.

But here, she was still doing the same things as before.

This life was truly unbearable.

No, she had to come up with a solution and have her senior brother recruit some disciples to come to the mountain.

Otherwise, life on this mountain would be impossible.

Mao Ruxue thought this way.

For a moment, a smile appeared on her face.

But then, she looked at the geese in the yard, honking loudly, and her face instantly turned bitter again.

Perhaps, she shouldn't have been curious and asked her senior brother to teach her the skill of roasting geese.

Buzz~!

At the same time, when Mao Ruxue returned to Hidden Dao Mountain and everything returned to normal, outside Heavenly River City, below the Heavenly Water Sect.

In a secluded small forest, there was a sudden spatial tremor.

Then, a teleportation gate, about one person tall, appeared in the same spot.

Afterwards, two voices came out from inside.

One was a gloomy middle-aged man.

The man was dressed in a Daoist robe, exuding a demonic aura, resembling a bloodthirsty Great Demon.

The other was a woman wearing a white silk dress.

On the front of the woman's chest, there was a small and delicate yellow flower.

By the banks of the River of Oblivion, the flower of the other shore!

After the two of them came out, they first glanced at the towering mountain in the distance, then turned their gaze to Heavenly River City, dozens of miles away.

"Shall we go to the city to gather information?" the woman said.

"Alright," the man with the appearance of a middle-aged man nodded, not refusing the woman's suggestion.

After determining the direction, the two of them turned into rays of light and headed towards Heavenly River City.

"Ice sugar-coated haws for sale!"

"Ice sugar-coated haws for sale!"

"Fresh buns!"

"Selling tofu, delicious tofu!"

"Please, sir, have mercy and give me something to eat!"

...

As soon as the two entered the city, they were immediately surrounded by the cries of vendors.

Endlessly.

After spending some time, the two finally passed through the bustling market area.

Then, they arrived at a less crowded roadside.

Finally, led by the woman, they entered a snack shop that was extremely popular.

"Yu Qingting, why did you bring me here?"

"Remember, we're here to investigate that Heavenly Water Chen Chang'an."

"Not to drink tea."

Upon seeing the woman leading them into a shop, the middle-aged man immediately asked in confusion.

These two people are none other than the [City God] and the Meng Po Temple [Lesser Yama] who are on this mission.

And the old man who just spoke is none other than the [City God].

However, at this moment, both of them are using disguised appearances and names.

The Lesser Yama goes by the name Yu Qingtong, while the [City God] uses his original name.

To cross the tribulation!

Also known as the Old Man Who Crosses Tribulations!

"Could it be that you're afraid of that Chen Chang'an?" said the [City God].

The Lesser Yama nodded without hesitation:

"Afraid, why wouldn't I be afraid?"

"Tianyuan Sword Immortal is such a powerful figure, in his hands, I can't even defeat a virtual god he casually summons."

"For such a strong opponent, why wouldn't I be afraid?"

"So, what are you planning now?" Upon hearing the words of the Lesser Yama, the Old Man Who Crosses Tribulations sneered disdainfully and asked.

Since they came out, the series of actions taken by the Lesser Yama has puzzled him.

"It's nothing, I'm just hungry, so I sat down to have a meal." The Lesser Yama smiled slightly.

"The 'Emperor Song Chronicles' once said, 'Man is made of iron, rice is made of steel, one cannot go hungry without eating a meal.'"

"I feel like that's right."

"So, when you're hungry, you should eat something first. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"By the way, the food in this place is good. It's called Scallion Oil Noodles and Flattened Meat. You can't find it anywhere else. It's quite delicious. Do you want some?"

Saying that, the Lesser Yama kindly asked the [City God].

"No, thank you." The Old Man Who Crosses Tribulations vigorously shook his head.

The various commoners wearing coarse linen clothes in this shop made him feel nauseous.

Immediately, he stood up and said unceremoniously to the Lesser Yama:

"The task entrusted by the Emperor and Lord Yama is to investigate Chen Chang'an, not to come here to eat and drink."

"So, what do you mean?" The Lesser Yama looked at the [City God] with interest and asked.

The [City God] smiled slightly:

"Naturally, we will go our separate ways."

"Go our separate ways?"

The Lesser Yama was momentarily stunned, then understood the meaning of the [City God].

In the next moment, she smiled even more:

"That's great, I agree."

"If you agree, that's good." The [City God] said:

"However, Lesser Yama, let me make it clear first. Since we are going our separate ways, if I achieve any results before you do."

"You can't compete with me for those achievements!"

Upon hearing this, the Lesser Yama's smile became even more intense. She smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

"If you can complete this matter, then I won't have to go, why not?"

Saying that, the Lesser Yama suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Just don't let yourself get caught and make me come to rescue you."

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about that, Lesser Yama!"

Upon hearing this, the [City God] coldly snorted and then left.

Hehe.

Seeing the [City God] leaving, the smile on the Lesser Yama's face disappeared.

She looked at the [City God] with a cold smile in her eyes.

Old man, oh old man.

If that Chen Chang'an is really so easy to provoke, guess why [Yama] sent both of us instead of just one.

Immediately after seeing the [City God] disappear around the corner, the Lesser Yama no longer paid attention.

Instead, she turned and shouted towards the direction of the stove:

"Boss, hello."

"Give me a serving of noodles and a serving of flattened meat, please."

"Add more cilantro, no scallions,"

"Thank you."

"Alright, miss, please wait a moment."

"The noodles and flattened meat will be ready soon."

After the voice of the Lesser Yama was heard, there was immediately a shout coming from the stove.

Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on the Lesser Yama's face.

She accidentally ate at this shop once when she passed by.

Then she discovered that it was especially delicious.

Over the years, every time she passed by, she would come and eat.

As for causing trouble for Chen Chang'an in Tianshui?

Is eating noodles more important?

Hehe,

Let work and such become clouds and fly away!

Flowers bloom on both ends, each expressing a different branch.

While Yu Qingtong, the Young Lord of the Shao Si Court, was happily eating noodles at the foot of the mountain, the sky above Hidden Dao Mountain gradually darkened.

In the main hall of the mountain gate, Mao Ruxue, who had been practicing all day, dragged her tired body to her bedroom to prepare for sleep.

Huh?!

This aura?!

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue, who was about to sleep, felt a faint demonic aura coming from the foot of the mountain.

Originally, this was a normal occurrence.

After all, in the Formless World, there were various forbidden areas and danger zones everywhere.

Occasionally, some demonic aura would be released, which was normal.

However, this trace of demonic aura that appeared this time was completely abnormal!

Because Mao Ruxue could clearly sense it.

This demonic aura clearly belonged to the [City God], one of the Halls of Rebirth's unique auras!

Oh my, the [City God] is here?!

Just thinking about this, Mao Ruxue's heart suddenly felt like thunder, and she instantly became flustered.

What should I do, what should I do?

At this moment, Mao Ruxue has two worries.

One is worried about being discovered by the [City God] duo's true identity.

The other worry is that these two people will target Senior Brother Chen Chang'an!

This is not a good thing at all!

But she has no solution to this matter at all.

If they really start fighting, she will definitely help Senior Brother beat them up.

Two against two, she won't back down!

But if they don't fight, then she should worry about her own identity being exposed.

Identity exposure is also a big deal!

What should I do, what should I do?

In an instant, Mao Ruxue became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Oh right, I should find Senior Brother!"

In an instant, she thought of Chen Chang'an.

The next moment, she arrived outside the Sutra Pavilion.

However, what made Mao Ruxue collapse was that when she arrived here, she found that Senior Brother was already asleep.

This...?

Senior Brother's heart is really big!

Forget it, I'll just stay here and guard Senior Brother.

Thinking of this, Mao Ruxue gently opened the door of the Sutra Pavilion, came to the courtyard, and used a concealment technique to carefully hide herself.

Here, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to move, she will definitely not be discovered.

If the [City God] duo and Senior Brother Chen Chang'an start fighting, she can support them immediately!

Kill two birds with one stone!

Next, Mao Ruxue fell into an anxious wait.

At the same time, at the foot of Hidden Dao Mountain.

An middle-aged man arrived here, it was the [City God].

"Hmph! Chen Chang'an of Tianshui?"

"Today, this old man is in a bad mood, so I'll let you perish in my hands."

At this moment, the City God held a magic bottle in his hand.

Inside the bottle, there was half a black liquid, and within the liquid, strands of demonic aura crisscrossed.

This was the Corpse Puppet God Water!

As long as it was sprinkled on a person who was sound asleep, it could completely control that person!

That's right, what the City God wanted to do was not to spy on Chen Chang'an.

Instead, he wanted to directly control Chen Chang'an!

Spying on friendship?

Hehe!

Wouldn't it be better to just turn him into a dead man?

After a cold laugh, the [City God] held the magic bottle in his hand.

Then he looked at the mountain peak that reached into the clouds in the distance.

Confidently, he took a step forward.

However, just as the journey was beginning, for some reason, as he looked at the mountain peak, the [City God] felt a wave of terror pass through his heart.

He had a strong feeling that if he really climbed this mountain, there was a great possibility of encountering great terror!

Scaring himself.

Isn't it just a mere scholar? Could there be an ancient giant lying dead on the mountain?

Thinking of this, the [City God] suddenly felt a sense of determination and continued walking up the mountain with even more confidence.
