Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 129 Using the Heavenly Eye to Investigate the Mother

"Shouldn't you go back and tell your aunt?" Qi Shiyun reminded her, "Although you can come and go freely in and out of Kuangshan this time, there is still some danger."

Lian Shanxin's mind suddenly clicked: "Shiyun, you really reminded me."

He had always wanted to use a "secret investigation" on his parents to see if he could uncover any secrets that would be detrimental to his entire family.

If we can't see our parents' secrets, things will get really interesting.

However, Xia Xunyang has already arrived in Jiangzhou, and he is also a small dragon.

Lian Shanxin originally intended to use Tianyancha on Xia Xunyang.

"What did you call her?"

Zhuo Biyu's focus was on how Lian Shanxin addressed Qi Shiyun.

Lian Shanxin and Zhuo Biyu exchanged a glance. Seeing the wariness in Zhuo Biyu's eyes, he immediately laughed: "Biyu, is that the point?"

“Of course, Ah Xin, you can call me Biyu, but you can’t call her Shiyun,” Zhuo Biyu solemnly reminded her.

Lian Shanxin was amused by Zhuo Biyu again.

"Shiyun, you have committed many evils."

Qi Shiyun has the ability to cheat with her mind-reading ability, making her even more skilled at flirting than with her own destiny-reading ability.

Lian Shanxin felt a pang of envy at that moment.

However, thinking about the conditions for improving his mental abilities, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Qi Shiyun wants to improve his telepathy by flirting with girls; if she had telepathy, she would have to be surrounded by a bunch of burly men.
That ability to predict one's destiny is quite good.

"Pay attention to the important points," Qi Shiyun reminded her again. "If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty has started to pay attention to your parents, so you should also pay attention to them."

Lian Shanxin nodded slightly: "But what about Xia Xunyang..."

"Isn't there still me?" Qi Shiyun smiled slightly, full of confidence.

So Lian Shanxin no longer hesitated: "Then I'll go home for a bit, and we'll meet at the foot of Kuangshan in half an hour."

"it is good."

Lian Shanxin was confident in Qi Shiyun's telepathic abilities. He was not yet certain whether he possessed the ability to read minds, but Qi Shiyun was certain that he did.

One-sixth of Maitreya's power is enough to deal with Xia Xunyang.

Compared to Xia Xunyang, Lian Shanxin was indeed more curious about his mother.

Especially after getting to know her kind aunt.

Lian Shanxin increasingly suspected that his mother had done something serious behind his back that could implicate nine generations of her family.

After finalizing his plan with Qi Shiyun, he quickly left Bailudong Academy and headed to Huichuntang.

As Lian Shanxin left the room, he vaguely heard Zhuo Biyu questioning Qi Shiyun: "Shiyun, you two aren't having an affair, are you?"

"of course not."

"Why do I have a feeling that Ashin is pursuing you?"

"Put away your doubts. Do I have any friends who aren't pursuing me?"

"Tian Ji".

"..."

Qi Shiyun was speechless.

He had to try to save face: "A fool isn't a person."

"You didn't agree to Ashin's request, did you?"

"Don't make your sister Qi laugh. With Ashin's level of skill, he's not even worthy of carrying my shoes."

Lian Shanxin fell to the ground with a thud, just as he was about to take flight.

"Ah-Xin, what's wrong?"

As soon as Tian Ji arrived, he saw Lian Shan Xin lying on the ground.

Lian Shanxin's face flushed red: "It's nothing."

Damn it, I was actually looked down upon.

But they have the ability to read minds.

He, an innocent 18-year-old boy, was indeed no match for the third-ranked scholar who possessed telepathic abilities.

This is not a fault of war.

Lian Shanxin felt ashamed to face anyone and could only leave in a hurry.

Tian Ji scratched his head: "Why does Ah Xin look so disheveled from behind?"

Zhuo Biyu laughed out loud: "Axin tried to seduce Qi Fengzi, but Qi Fengzi killed him instead."

"Is he really that desperate?"

Tian Ji laughed upon hearing this: "If Qi the Madman can even seduce women, how could a virgin like Ah Xin possibly win her over? Ah Xin is too innocent!"

Lian Shanxin had not gone far at this time.

I almost fell from mid-air again.

grass.

It was bad enough that he was looked down upon by Qi Shiyun, but he was even looked down upon by Tian Ji.

He couldn't bear it.

But Tian Ji was single-mindedly focused on climbing the ranks.

A wise man does not fall in love.

Lian Shanxin thought about it and realized that he really couldn't retort in this regard.

He could only silently remember this debt and wait to settle accounts with Tian Ji later.

"Crazy Qi, can you tone it down a bit?" After Tian Ji finished scorning Lian Shan Xin, he began to scold Qi Shi Yun: "There are only four of us in the Yi Xin Hui, and you've hooked up with two of them. Do you know that it's easy for infighting to break out?"

Qi Shiyun: "...How can you blame me? I didn't ask them to admire me."

"Zhuo Biyu, can't you be normal for once?" Tian Ji turned his attention to her: "It's one thing for Ah Xin to be blind and like Qi Fengzi, but why are you, a woman, getting involved? Can't you just let Ah Xin and Qi Fengzi be together?"

Zhuo Biyu's fists hardened: "Tian Ji, do you want to be beaten up?"

Tian Ji was in a frenzy: "Xiao Yu, you really don't care about the big picture at all. What you lose is love, but what you gain is the unity and stability of our Yixin Society."

"You really deserve a beating."

Zhuo Biyu slashed out with her sword.

But Tian Ji skillfully dodged it.

"Sigh, if it weren't for me, this family would fall apart sooner or later."

Tian Ji felt very tired.

"Crazy Qi, tell her to stop."

Qi Shiyun looked at Tian Ji strangely.

She discovered that Tian Ji practiced what he preached, and that he thought the same way.

With this mindset, he is destined for great things.

"Alright, Biyu, don't bother with him. Tian Ji, you know someone in the capital, right?"

"of course."

"Send a letter to someone you trust and ask them to look up information about the Princess of Jiujiang," Qi Shiyun instructed. "Although I know quite a few people, their husbands don't want me to contact them."

Tian Ji was speechless: "You want to get your hands on the Princess of Jiujiang? Are you already starting to make your move on married women?"

"I did this for Ah Xin, can't you think more clearly?" Qi Shiyun was furious.

Tian Ji was taken aback: "Ah Xin wants to seduce the Princess of Jiujiang? Doesn't he like you?"

Qi Shiyun also slashed out with her sword.

She realized that Tian Ji was a guy who deserved a beating.

five minutes later.

Tian Ji, who had been hit by a mixed doubles attack, got up from the ground and muttered, "You should have said it was to save a trick to deal with the King of Jiujiang. But Qi Fengzi, are you sure the King of Jiujiang has feelings for the Queen of Jiujiang?"

"I'm not sure yet. We'll see what happens. If we can get rid of the threat from the Prince of Jiujiang through Xia Xunyang, we won't need to bother with the Princess of Jiujiang."

Qi Shiyun simply played it safe out of habit.

She didn't think she would mess up when dealing with Xia Xunyang.

Tian Ji nodded: "I understand. The King of Jiujiang is going all out for Xia Xunyang. However, it's not appropriate for Zhuo Biyu and me to get involved in this. We're not part of your chosen lineage and can't get involved in the power struggles within the royal family..."

Before he could finish speaking, seeing Qi Shiyun raise her knife again, Tian Ji decisively changed his mind: "Although this is against the rules of the Nine Heavens, I will help you out since A Xin and I are both from the Yixin Society."

The bonds between the nine clans began to take effect once again.

The Nine Heavens are the Nine Heavens, and the Nine Clans are the Nine Clans.

They serve different purposes.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Lian Shanxin rushed back to Huichuntang.

I ran into an unexpected acquaintance at the door.

"Auntie? What brings you here?"

He Miaoyin didn't expect that she would meet Lian Shanxin before she even met her sister.

"What? Can't I come to Jiangzhou?" He Miaoyin asked deliberately.

"Of course, I'm just curious, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I came suddenly, and there are other matters to attend to. I am here on the orders of the Crown Prince and have a mission," He Miaoyin said.

Lianshan Xinxin said, "Give me a break."

Can the Crown Prince command you?

"Speaking of which, this matter is related to you."

"What does this have to do with me?" Lian Shanxin was taken aback. "What is it?"

"I've come all this way, won't you even let me in for a cup of tea?" He Miaoyin asked.

Lian Shanxin slapped his forehead and quickly stepped aside: "Auntie, please come in. Mother will be very happy to know you're here."

Lianshanxin is right.

He Miaojun was overjoyed to see He Miaoyin.

"Wonderful Sound?"

"Sister, it's me."

"You haven't changed much compared to twenty years ago, you're just more mature and beautiful."

"Sister, you too. It seems what you said in your letter is true. Your complexion has really become rosy. Brother-in-law truly deserves to be called a miracle doctor."

Lian Shanxin silently learned from the two sisters' mutual flattery.

Next time, we'll use it on Qi Shiyun.

But Qi Shiyun is on a winning streak.

They've probably become immune to it by now.

hateful.

Mr. Xin hates cheating more than anything in his life.

The two sisters, having been separated for so long, had so much to say to each other that they momentarily neglected Lian Shanxin.

Lian Shanxin didn't interrupt; he just stared quietly at his mother, hoping to passively trigger his talent.

It's not easy to accumulate information on Tianyancha, so I'd rather not use Lianshanxin if I can avoid it.

Unfortunately, a quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no sign that Lian Shanxin's talent had been triggered.

Lian Shanxin could only sigh helplessly to himself.

At this moment, He Miaoyin finally began to pay attention to Lian Shanxin.

"Xiao Xin, the Crown Prince sent me here to help you."

"Help me? Help me with what?"

"I'll help you with the Kuangshan matter. The Crown Prince asked me to tell you that His Majesty also summoned Xia Xunyang, the son of the Prince of Jiujiang, in the capital and entrusted him with an important task. You are only the person in charge appointed by His Majesty on the surface. In reality, His Majesty truly places high hopes on this member of the imperial family."

Lian Shanxin raised an eyebrow.

He already knew about this.

However, Lian Shanxin was still somewhat surprised that the Crown Prince could also perceive it.

It seems the Crown Prince does have some talent, just not much.

"Is the Crown Prince sending you, Aunt, to help me?" Lian Shanxin asked.

He Miaoyin instantly disliked what she was hearing: "You look down on me?"

Lian Shanxin explained, "Auntie, it's such a waste to use your abilities for fighting."

“That’s more like it.” He Miaoyin explained, “The Crown Prince also knows that I am no match for Xia Xunyang if I am at the Grandmaster level, so he specially invited a strong ally for you.”

"Strong reinforcements? How strong are they?"

“Definitely stronger than Xia Xunyang,” He Miaoyin said confidently.

"There's someone stronger than Xia Xunyang at the Grandmaster level?"

"Is Lin Ruoshui not as strong as Xia Xunyang?"

"Lin Ruoshui? The Crown Prince invited Lin Ruoshui?"

Lian Shanxin was genuinely surprised this time: "They still have a relationship?"

"There is a bit of that. The Crown Prince and Qi Shiyun have a grudge. Lin Ruoshui defeated Qi Shiyun, so the Crown Prince has a very good impression of Lin Ruoshui."

Lianshanxin: "..."

Qi Tanhua was truly a man of many evil deeds yet also of immeasurable merit.

"This time, the Crown Prince specially asked Lin Ruoshui to protect your safety. Xiao Xin, the Crown Prince is truly good to you."

At this point, He Miaoyin's gaze became somewhat strange.

“Xiao Xin, we’re family. Let’s talk behind closed doors. Don’t think your aunt is being nosy. Since ancient times, the royal family has always been the most extravagant in private. His Highness the Crown Prince has a decent reputation in the capital, but there’s a rumor that his health is poor.”

He Miaojun suddenly coughed lightly.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just choked on my water."

She knew that what He Miaoyin said was not a rumor.

This can also be confirmed by Ren Yamashige.

He Miaoyin continued, "As far as I know, the Crown Prince is indeed not lustful and has never had any problems with women. Xiao Xin, you are a man too. Tell me, is there any man who isn't lustful?"

Lian Shanxin also coughed lightly: "Auntie, you may be underestimating the Crown Prince."

Although the crown prince was not good at it, he was not without lust.

"If you don't believe me, go ask the unseeingly dead Blood Guanyin." He Miaoyin shook her head and said, "I know the Crown Prince better than you do. For someone of the Crown Prince's status to be so chaste shows that his health is indeed poor. But the Crown Prince is not interested in women, yet he treats you, Xiao Xin, with such special regard. Xiao Xin, I'm very worried about you."

Upon hearing He Miaoyin's words, He Miaojun's heart also tightened: "Xiaoxin, I'm warning you, you are absolutely not allowed to lose your principles for wealth and glory and to flatter the Crown Prince, otherwise I will sever my relationship with you."

Lian Shanxin's face darkened: "Mother, am I that kind of person?"

“I think you are,” He Miaojun said earnestly.

Lianshanxin: "..."

He was very tired.

I feel like my mother doesn't understand me at all.

"In short, stay away from the Crown Prince. I think Qi Shiyun is quite good, and Zhuo Biyu is also fine." He Miaojun pointed out the direction to Lian Shanxin.

Lian Shanxin was amused: "Mother, what are you doing putting in this much food? Even if I like someone, they have to like me too."

"Show me your shamelessness, no problem. You're better than your dad in this regard. He's not as shameless as you, yet he still managed to win me over. You're several times more shameless than him, so chasing after anyone won't be a problem."

He Miaojun had inexplicable confidence in Lianshanxin in this regard.

Lian Shanxin felt that these words did not sound like a compliment.

He didn't want to talk to his mother anymore.

Then he turned to He Miaoyin and asked, "Auntie, where is Lin Ruoshui? Didn't she come with you?"

"She's here, but she should be outside Jiangzhou City right now, doing something else."

"What is it? Wasn't she the one the Crown Prince invited to protect me?"

"Her job is to protect you. When we came from Shenjing City, we happened to run into Xia Xunyang. Xia Xunyang knows Lin Ruoshui, so he took the initiative to invite Lin Ruoshui to come with me. By the way, Xia Xunyang came on the 'Azure Dragon' personally built by Mo Hou."

Lian Shan's faith was shaken.

The top donor was really good to Xia Xunyang, even granting him a special permit to fly a mechanical bird.

Before the mechanical bird was mass-produced, every single one was a treasure.

It is generally only used for major events and important figures.

Even Lian Shanxin himself didn't receive this kind of treatment.

He was a little jealous of Xia Xunyang.

"After arriving in Jiangzhou City, I came down first. She was still with Xia Xunyang."

"What are you doing with Xia Xunyang?"

"Beat him up."

"what?"

……

"what?"

Like Lian Shanxin, Xia Xunyang was also full of question marks.

The difference is that he also had bumps all over his head.

"Lin Ruoshui, have you gone mad?"

Xia Xunyang was both shocked and furious.

"I kindly invited you to ride the 'Azure Dragon' to Jiangzhou City, why did you suddenly turn on me and ambush me?"

Lin Ruoshui explained earnestly, "It wasn't a sudden turn of events, nor did I launch a sneak attack. I specifically reminded you beforehand so you could be prepared."

Xia Xunyang grew increasingly furious: "Is this your excuse for repaying kindness with enmity? What have I done to offend you?"

"No, Ruoshui was just doing what someone asked her to do."

After Lin Ruoshui finished speaking, she placed her sword across Xia Xunyang's shoulder.

Xia Xunyang broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't be impulsive."

"Don't worry, I won't act impulsively. No one asked me to kill you," Lin Ruoshui said.

"What exactly happened? Who sent you?"

Lin Ruoshui did not hide anything: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince? That's not surprising."

Xia Xunyang quickly calmed down.

He put himself in his shoes; if he were the crown prince, he would also have to deal with him.

Why did you agree to the Crown Prince's request?

"The Crown Prince promised me that he would provide manpower and funding to build orphanages throughout the country."

Hearing Lin Ruoshui say this, Xia Xunyang became angry again: "You attacked me for no reason just because you wanted to do a good deed? Is this the way of a gentleman?"

"I don't want to be a gentleman," Lin Ruoshui replied matter-of-factly.

Xia Xunyang: "..."

They were harmed by Lin Ruoshui's reputation in the martial arts world.

“Lin Ruoshui, I can also negotiate. I can also provide manpower and funds to build orphanages throughout the country.”

Xia Xunyang tried his best to control his anger, forced himself to calm down, and attempted to negotiate with Lin Ruoshui.

However, Lin Ruoshui refused without hesitation: "I have already made an agreement with the Crown Prince. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

Xia Xunyang broke down again: "Didn't you say you didn't want to be a gentleman?"

“The Crown Prince’s status and character are trustworthy, and you are not qualified to talk to me now.” Lin Ruoshui patiently explained again: “Once you become the Crown Prince, then I will consider discussing this kind of cooperation with you.”

Xia Xunyang hardened his fist.

But he couldn't beat Lin Ruoshui.

In a fit of anger, he could only lash out.

"The Crown Prince ordered you to attack me?"

"No, the Crown Prince sent me to protect Lian Shanxin and told you not to hurt him."

Xia Xunyang: "? Then why did you attack me?"

Lin Ruoshui patiently explained, "I'm not good at protecting people, and I don't want to waste so much time. You are much stronger than Lian Shanxin now. The Crown Prince is worried about Lian Shanxin's safety, and even more worried that the immortal destiny of Kuangshan will fall into your hands. In that case, why don't I just cripple you? Cripple you instead of protecting you, and the dilemma will be resolved."

Xia Xunyang's eyes widened in fury: "You really are incredibly clever."

"Right? I think so too." A smile appeared on Lin Ruoshui's face.

Xia Xunyang felt that he had really been blind in the past, why did he think Lin Ruoshui was a saint?

This is clearly a witch.

"By the way, Xia Xunyang, you should thank me," Lin Ruoshui suddenly said.

Xia Xunyang looked at Lin Ruoshui in shock: "I should thank you?"

“I could have killed you, but I only decided to cripple your Grandmaster cultivation. Shouldn’t you thank me?” Lin Ruoshui frowned and said, “If it were anyone else, you would be dead by now.”

Xia Xunyang laughed angrily, "Thank you."

Lin Ruoshui frowned slightly: "This gratitude is not sincere. Never mind, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. I will spare your life today, which is also a good deed."

Xia Xunyang broke down again: "Lin Ruoshui, if you still have any backbone, then go to Kuangshan and suppress your cultivation at the Grandmaster level to fight me. What kind of skill is it to bully the weak while only being at the Domain level?"

Although he can break through to the Domain Realm at any time, advancing to the Domain Realm also takes time.

At this moment, attempting to advance in battle in front of Lin Ruoshui, who was a whole realm higher than him, would be suicidal.

Therefore, he was completely crushed by Lin Ruoshui without any suspense.

Xia Xunyang was unconvinced.

He is confident that he can defeat anyone at the same level.

But Lin Ruoshui asked curiously, "Why should I fight you to the death? I'm female and you're male, isn't that obvious?"

Xia Xunyang: "..."

"I was afraid I wouldn't be able to beat you once we entered Kuangshan, so I used my cultivation level to suppress you. It's your fault for always suppressing your cultivation and not breaking through." Lin Ruoshui shook her head: "It's not like I forced you to hide your strength. You insist on staying at the Grandmaster level and then blame me?"

Xia Xunyang looked up at the sky and roared, filled with grief and indignation.

If he is less skilled than others, he is willing to accept defeat.

Now that he has been defeated by Lin Ruoshui and died before achieving his goal, Xia Xunyang cannot accept it.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better.

"Release the Second Young Master."

The Ghost Steps stealthily appeared behind Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui's expression changed slightly: "'Ghost Step' Suo Yuanchu? Ruoshui has no intention of making an enemy of Jiutian."

At this time, Lin Ruoshui was unaware that Suo Yuanchu had already been expelled from the Nine Heavens.

If she kills Suo Yuanchu, she can still get the reward money from Jiutian.

As a nominally independent martial artist, she would not oppose the government unless absolutely necessary.

However, Suo Yuanchu's moves were all deadly.

Lin Ruoshui defended and countered for three moves before dodging away, allowing Suo Yuanchu to snatch Xia Xunyang away.

Lin Ruoshui did not compete with Suo Yuanchu for the man; she merely frowned slightly and then drifted away.

Before leaving, she left Xia Xunyang with a message: "Ruoshui has no intention of getting involved in the royal struggles; she is only doing this on someone else's behalf. If you, young master, do not become enemies with Lianshan Xin, Ruoshui will not cause you any more trouble."

Xia Xunyang was so angry that he laughed again.

This woman actually wanted to reconcile with him.

Should we just let him shut up?
Xia Xunyang roared, "Lin Ruoshui, you have to keep your word!"

"Of course, a gentleman's word is as good as gold."

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you."

This woman's strength was unfathomable; she was one of the few in his realm who could pose a significant threat to him. Although Xia Xunyang was confident, he prioritized the greater good and decided to endure the humiliation. He couldn't afford to create such a formidable enemy before achieving his grand ambitions.

At that moment, Xia Xunyang felt that he had grown up.

"Second Young Master, His Highness sent me to fetch you."

"Is Lord Suo one of Father's men?"

"Always."

"sorry."

Xia Xunyang not only held Suo Yuanchu in high esteem, but also his adoptive father.

It seems that although the adoptive father was no match for the biological father, he had still managed to build up his own power over the years.

"Second Young Master, His Highness has some things to tell you. Please come with me."

"it is good."

After Suo Yuan Chu and Xia Xun Yang left, Lin Ruo Shui returned and looked at their disappearing figures, lost in thought: "The King of Jiujiang has extended his reach into the heavens? It's one thing for the Demonic Sect to be so complicated internally, but how come the factions in the imperial court are also so complex?"

……

Lian Shanxin was both surprised and delighted to hear from his kind aunt that Lin Ruoshui planned to cripple Xia Xunyang before he entered Kuangshan.

"Your Highness did well. The Water God lives up to his name, decisive and ruthless."

Lian Shanxin was unaware that he had praised Lin Ruoshui prematurely.

Villains often die from talking too much, but unfortunately, many people can't shake this habit.

"In that case, Xia Xunyang is no longer a threat. If we control Xia Xunyang, Father will be safe."

He Miaoyin had already learned about Lian Shan Jingcheng's situation and comforted him, saying, "Brother-in-law's safety was not going to be a problem anyway. What we need to be wary of now is if His Majesty finds out about this and it becomes detrimental to brother-in-law, and then he might frame the Prince of Jiujiang."

"His Majesty won't find out so quickly. I will get my father home as soon as possible."

Lian Shanxin informed He Miaojun that he was going to Kuangshan.

“Mother, I won’t lie to you, there are dangers, but I’ve made ample preparations. As Auntie just said, our biggest competitor, Xia Xunyang, is already out of the game. With Lin Ruoshui and Qi Shiyun helping me, I have an absolute advantage.”

He Miaojun nodded.

Although she was a woman confined to the inner quarters, she had heard of the three renowned names: Lin Ruoshui, Xia Xunyang, and Qi Shiyun.

For the past few years, these three names have dominated the top three spots on the Hidden Dragons list.

"Xiao Xin, be careful. Immortal destiny is elusive; staying alive is the most important thing."

“I know that if things are beyond our control, I won’t force it. Mother, please go and find Father’s amulet for me. I’ll take one to put my mind at ease.”

"it is good."

He Miaojun stood up.

At that moment, Lian Shanxin launched Tianyancha (a business information platform).

At this moment, Lian Shanxin was unusually excited.

He was afraid that Tianyancha would fail, yet he also somewhat hoped that it would fail. Even he himself wasn't sure whether he wanted to see his mother's secret.

The final result brought Lian Shanxin a sense of relief, but also a touch of disappointment.

Tianyan Check – Launch successful.

Above He Miaojun's head, Lian Shanxin saw images of his mother.

And it wasn't just the mother, but also the father.

Previously, Lian Shan Jingcheng had also passively triggered his talent once, which made Lian Shanxin realize that he had been rejected by Chairman Qu. That was Lian Shanxin's first pot of gold.

Looking back now, all my assumptions about my parents were just illusions.

His parents were just ordinary people in Jiangzhou City.

All of them were within the scope of his innate ability to detect.

Realizing this, Lian Shanxin inwardly mocked himself, but still carefully watched his mother's past.

In the picture, the mother is wearing her undergarments and reading in her room at night.

Lian Shan Jingcheng pushed open the door and saw He Miaojun still reading. He frowned and said, "Madam, it's so late. Why are you still reading? Aren't you afraid of ruining your eyes?"

He Miaojun looked up and smiled slightly at Lian Shan Jingcheng: "I don't have much to do either, you can't take away my love of reading, can you?"

“Reading books is fine, but you should read less Buddhist scriptures, Madam,” Lian Shan Jingcheng said. “Many passages in Buddhist scriptures are too pessimistic and escapist, and are not suitable for us mortals to read.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'm reading a Taoist book now."

"Taoist texts?" Lian Shan Jingcheng was slightly taken aback. "Madam, you're not lying to me, are you? You've abandoned Buddhism and embraced Taoism?"

"It's not that I abandoned Buddhism and Taoism. Just like you said, listening to both sides leads to enlightenment. Many ideas in Taoist books have benefited me a lot, such as this one."

"what did you say?"

"No misfortune is greater than dissatisfaction, no fault is greater than greed. Going with the flow is the only way to prosper. Going against the will of Heaven will eventually backfire."

Lian Shan Jingcheng nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

"Xiao Xin is too hasty in his actions. You are his father, so give him a heads-up at breakfast tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Lian Shanxin felt a chill run down his spine.

He then realized that the time in the picture was the night before last—the night the Celestial Master died!
