Yinshan Record

Chapter 642 A Dragon Spring on a Three-Inch Tongue (Part 2)
That old devil certainly knows how to be generous with other people's money.

Su Che wasn't stupid; he immediately understood who this female Taoist priest was.

The Way of the Plain Girl.

The only family that still remembers their own aliases, Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan, is this one.

Su Che had heard that the Su Nu Dao was quite powerful in the East Sea, but he did not expect that they had already arranged for people to wait for him here.

That's right.

The "pure maiden" in the Zhongshan Society insisted on finding someone with the destiny of the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon, and now she has delivered herself right to their doorstep.

Su Nu was also one of the top-ranked members of the Zhongshan Society. If Su Nu Dao was related to her, it was probably because Kong Kong'er leaked the news to Su Nu Dao, and Su Nu Dao had arranged for people to wait for her here in advance to arrange all the subsequent events.

However, Young Master Su did not yet know whether the Su Nu Dao was prepared to use either a literary or a martial approach.

If it were a martial artist, they could simply kidnap you and keep you as a pet or ruin you like a dreg of medicine; you would probably not escape their fate.

If it's a written response, then there's still a chance for things to turn around.

"I still don't know how to address you?"

“I am in charge of incense in the Lord’s palace. You may call me Si Xiang.”

The female Taoist priest smiled slightly, gently waving the whisk in her hand as she slowly walked ahead.

"I am humbled that your esteemed sect has gone to such lengths."

Su Che looked at the tall female Taoist priest in front of him. She had an otherworldly air about her and a compassionate look down on all living beings in her eyes. Half of her teachings were from the Xuanmen sect, while the other half had a touch of the divine path.

"Young master is fond of joking. It took our sect some effort to figure out that Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun are actually the same person."

Su Che wasn't annoyed that his background had been exposed.

Since Kongkong'er arranged for Su Nu Dao to wait for him here, it also shows that Su Nu Dao and Zhongshan Society must have a close connection.

"It's a bit of a coincidence that you want to borrow a star raft to travel to the Seventy-Two Kingdoms. There are only two star rafts that go to the Seventy-Two Kingdoms, and they both belong to the Qingxu Sect, a major sect in the Seventy-Two Kingdoms. Neither of these star rafts is currently in the East Sea. One is in the Southern Wilderness, and the other is still within the territory of the Seventy-Two Kingdoms."

Sixiang said slowly.

"Based on the voyage, the next ship will arrive in Tingchao City in a month and a half."

Su Che did not speak.

The point Sixiang made in bringing this up shouldn't be that Xingcha wasn't there, but rather that their Su Nu Dao sect also had a solution.

It seems that Su Nu Dao is preparing to engage in literary pursuits with me.

really.

"However, our sect happens to have a starship that is always at our disposal, so tomorrow we will have it come to Tingchao City to escort you directly to the seventy-two kingdoms."

Sixiang said, swinging the whisk in her hand forward.

"Master, please."

Su Che looked ahead and saw that Si Xiang had led him to a small path that wound its way up to the top of the mountain.

"Please rest in the elegant quarters prepared by our sect tonight. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"I am somewhat apprehensive."

Su Che looked at Si Xiang on the other side. This woman was tall and voluptuous, and her appearance was pleasing to the eye.

However, Su Che is still unsure what the Su Nu Dao is after.

"I am very grateful for the trouble your esteemed sect has gone to such lengths, but I am ashamed to say that I have not done anything to help your sect in any way..."

"The city lord's mansion is located at the top of Tingchao City. This city is personally ruled by the Qiantang Dragon King, so the city lord's mansion is empty."

Sixiang ignored Su Che's question and simply led him up the steps.

"Near the City Lord's Mansion are the villas of various sects and factions in Tingchao City. After all, this place is close to the Central Plains and is the most prosperous city in the Qiantang lineage. It is very important in terms of transportation. Our sect has also purchased a fine residence here."

"The Dao of the Plain Maiden is something I..."

“Those were all the Lord’s plans; Sixiang knew nothing about them.”

Si Xiang interrupted Su Che, reaching out to grab his wrist and leading the Third Young Master Su slowly upwards.

"The Lord instructed Sixiang to treat the young master well in Tingchao City, and Sixiang did so with utmost care. As for why she needed to treat him well, and what arrangements the Lord had made for the young master..."

The road was long, and Sixiang didn't say much, so Su Che remained silent as well.

This female Taoist priest must have held a very high position in the Su Nu Dao (a Taoist sect), otherwise she wouldn't have been assigned to handle matters related to the Zhongshan Society.

Since she was keeping such a tight-lipped statement, Su Che could only wait and see.

They arranged for a starship to be transferred directly, and also arranged for high-ranking members of the sect to take care of her daily needs. Su Nu Dao appeared to be very sincere, even to the point of needing something from them.

But what do they want from me?

Before long, they reached a secluded spot halfway up the mountain. A charming little building stood quietly among the pines and cypresses. Two women, their faces veiled and dressed in plain Taoist robes, were already waiting at the door, bowing gracefully to Su Che and Si Xiang.

"Greetings, Holy Envoy of Incense."

"A holy envoy?" Su Che glanced at the female Taoist priest beside him, whose cultivation level was impossible to discern.

Her status within the Su Nu Dao was indeed quite high.

"Young Master Zuo, please."

Sixiang led Su Che forward slowly, and the two walked directly into the small building.

On the other side, the two Great Demon Kings under the command of the Sixty-Fourth Prince Yun Yun rode the wind without stopping and arrived at Tingchao City.

The fourteenth prince, Chi Ying, is currently in Tingchao City.

The two powerful demons descended from the clouds and wandered around the market town of Tingchao City before finally arriving at the gates of a large mansion.

Outside the mansion, a group of fierce-looking monsters, each wielding a weapon, blocked their path.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on the Dragon Prince's residence?"

The two demons exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward to bow.

“Xuan He and Jin Lian, servants of Crown Prince Yunyun, request an audience with Crown Prince Chiying. Please announce their arrival.”

The leading demon looked at the two cultivators who had reached the Rejuvenation Realm and smiled contemptuously.

Although he failed to achieve the elixir of immortality, he showed no respect whatsoever to these two.

"Gentlemen, my Crown Prince is currently recuperating in Tingchao City and has no time to attend to you. Please leave."

Xuan He glanced at the golden carp on the other side and said.

"This concerns a magical artifact of the void. My Prince Yunyun knows that his blessings are meager and he cannot bear to receive it. Therefore, he specially sent Woden to deliver the message. I humbly request that Prince Chiying spare some time to meet with him."

The little demon guarding the gate rolled his eyes and then ordered the demons around him to make way for the two of them.

"My crown prince has a bad temper, so you'd better watch your words. If you say anything he doesn't like to hear, you'll lose your lives."

Xuanhe was sent by Yunyun to deliver a message because he was eloquent and resourceful.

He sneered inwardly, but still thanked the little demon guarding the gate profusely.

The two powerful demons who had attained the Golden Core stage entered the mansion one after the other. After passing through several floors, they entered the flower hall.

A boy dressed in red embroidered clothes was dozing on a chair, one hand supporting his chin and the other hand holding a yellow silk scroll.

His face was flushed and looked extremely unnatural.

Upon seeing this person, Xuan He immediately bowed down.

“Yun Yun’s subordinate demon Xuan He pays respects to Crown Prince Chi Ying.”

Information about the fourteenth prince flashed through his mind.

This person was not from the Qiantang lineage, but rather a dragon-like creature born in the depths of the East Sea. The Qiantang Dragon King took a liking to his talent and adopted him as his son. Because his true form was a red dragon, he took "red" as his surname, unlike the Qiantang lineage which was surnamed "cloud."

It is precisely because of this that this brave and diligent individual has surpassed others and gained considerable prestige within the Qiantang lineage.

“Yun Yun has always been arrogant and haughty, why would he think of asking you to come and greet him?”

Xuan He dared not delay and quickly recounted the whole story of what Yun Yun had instructed him to do.

"My Crown Prince believes that even if this man surnamed Zuo isn't involved with the Void Artifact, he must have some other secrets behind him. Therefore, he ordered me to inform His Highness. My Highness believes in the principle of keeping the good stuff within the family..."

"Zuo Lengchan, is that right?"

The boy in red raised his head and smiled slightly.

"My sixty-fourth brother is sure to give me some tough challenges."

"What the Crown Prince means is..."

"Fortunately, I was one step ahead, and that's how I escaped his scheme."

The boy in red, Chi Ying, looked at Xuan He and said, word by word.

"Zuo Lengchan is a member of the Su Nu Dao. The Su Nu Dao's Incense Master is currently having a secret meeting with him in the mountains. Does my good brother think I'm not miserable enough? Does he want me to go and recruit the Su Nu Dao as well?"
