Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 398 Tushan Shiyu: Lecher! Who wants to see you without clothes?

The room was pitch black. The sound of wind and rain rolled in through the window lattices, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants.

The two men stood face to face, and Lu Zhan pretended to take off his breath-retaining robe, his hands moving very quickly without any hesitation.

"..."

Tushan Shiyu's eyelids jumped. Lu Zhan's posture seemed as if he couldn't wait to be seen naked by her. He was indeed a dissolute disciple and a second-generation rich man. No wonder he had such a miserable life and still didn't forget to go to the brothel to have fun.

She originally thought that Lu Zhan was lying, but seeing how happy Lu Zhan was, Tushan Shiyu was unsure and hurriedly held Lu Zhan's hand:

"Forget it, we know each other after all, I shouldn't do this, let's talk about it after we get out."

If it were any other man, Tushan Shiyu would have suspected that this was a fraud.

But if it was Lu Xiaofeng... based on the little she knew, this guy was really capable of doing such a lousy thing, and he might really not be wearing any clothes underneath.

Tushan Shiyu came to Wutong Academy for a serious matter, not to see naked men. She coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.

Lu Zhan said sympathetically: "It's okay, you can take the breath-retaining robe. I'm young and strong, so I won't catch a cold."

Although the two people used different methods of exploration, they ultimately reached the same conclusion.

Lu Zhan smiled slightly and followed closely.

There is a pavilion built on the top of Xifeng Mountain. The pavilion is built on the cliff, and there is a vigorous and ancient Podocarpus tree next to it. The environment here is quiet and quiet, and you can overlook the Wutong Academy located halfway up the mountain.

There were countless powerful demons in ancient times, and countless more died in the long river of time. The Mirage Demon was just one of them. Lu Zhan had not studied whether it could be resurrected, but it was indeed the best excuse.

There is a stone chessboard in the middle of the pavilion, a purple clay teapot is boiling tea next to it, and two figures are playing chess and chatting.

Tushan Shiyu frowned and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? We were wearing clothes at the time, so how could we have had skin contact?"

Thinking of this, Tushan Shiyu raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhan and said softly:

Tushan Shiyu was a little surprised: "You still want to obtain the power of the mirage?"

Lu Zhan then let go of Tushan Shiyu and asked softly, "Is this the fluctuation of true Qi that you just sensed?"

Who's afraid that you'll catch a cold?

Tushan Shiyu snorted coldly: "You'd better go to the brothel and play this kind of joke with the courtesan."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, with only the sound of wind and rain continuing.

Lu Zhan knew her good intentions, but since they were on different sides, it was not appropriate to have a heart-to-heart talk, so he smiled and said, "We are more than just casual acquaintances. Who can have physical contact with each other just by chance?"

Tushan Shiyu was about to say something else when there was a slight tremor in the distant sky and another wave of true Qi was heard, as if a powerful being was passing through the sky overhead.

It would be better to exchange information.

Lu Zhan nodded: "Only by obtaining the power of the mirage can I take back everything that belongs to me. I heard that Wutong Academy was not normal, so I came to investigate, but I ran into you..."

"..."

Lu Zhan quietly put away the scroll and said, "Are you planning to awaken the mirage?"

Although she could feel Lu Zhan's throbbing through their clothes, it was definitely not physical contact. The hateful lecher Guan would flirt with women.

Seeing that she was angry, Lu Zhan smiled and said, "It was just a joke. Don't be angry. I was wrong."

Lu Zhan kept smiling and suddenly moved closer to her. In the dim light, he could see her fair and beautiful face. He said, "I am excited to see you too. What's wrong with that? It would be bad if I saw a man getting excited."

Tushan Shiyu's face flushed slightly. She squatted under Lu Zhan's shoulder, almost leaning on his arms, smelling the fragrance of plants and trees on the man's body. Suddenly, her mind went blank. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but it was a feeling she had never experienced before.

Tushan Shiyu glared at him and said, "Don't give me that. Who wants to see you like that? What are you doing at Wutong Academy? Did you find anything?"

The dark clouds in the sky were gently shaking, and the true Qi wave quickly left, heading towards the highest peak of Wutong Academy, and soon disappeared into the back mountain.

"Squat down." Lu Zhan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He put his arm around Tushan Shiyu's neck and pulled her down to squat.

Tushan Shiyu looked strange: "You seem very excited when you mention women?"

Tushan Shiyu didn't want to share her news with others, but things always turned out to be beyond her expectations. Although she didn't want to admit it, Lu Zhan was obviously involved. Even if she didn't say anything, the other party would investigate it himself.

……

Tushan Shiyu walked up to Lu Zhan and advised:

"We just met by chance, and I shouldn't have told you what to do, but instead of pinning your hopes on something so illusory, you should think of other ways to break the impasse."

Lu Zhan looked ahead. Outside the window, the night was dark and the distant forest seemed to hide countless secrets. He raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly smiled:

"Now that we are here, there is no reason to return empty-handed. Let's go and take a look."

Lu Zhan knew that Tushan Shiyu was looking for the magic stone, so he used the mirage demon as a cover.

Lu Zhan was forced to pull up his breath-retaining robe and asked instead of answering, "Why are you here?"

It was late at night and the two were very close to each other. In the silent room, only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats could be heard.

"..."

Tushan Shiyu's thoughts gradually came back to her mind. She stood up and took two quick steps before she said, "No, the true Qi I just sensed was very feminine, like a woman's."

It was impossible to communicate normally with Lu Xiaofeng, a scoundrel. She snorted lightly, and her figure disappeared into the night, heading towards the highest peak of Xifeng Mountain.

Tushan Shiyu's breathing stagnated and he hurriedly took two steps back. His eyes were cold and filled with a hint of anger as if he was offended.

"..."

Lu Zhan's eyes drooped. He went to the brothel for business, definitely not to visit prostitutes, but there was no need to explain such things to Tushan Shiyu, so he kept silent.

"..."

"I heard that there was something wrong with Wutong Academy and it seemed like they were planning something, so I came here to take a look. I just came to the back mountain and suddenly felt a fluctuation of true energy, so I entered this room to hide. I didn't expect to run into you."

Lu Zhan and Tushan Shiyu came to the mountain wall behind the cliff. There was a thousand-foot cliff on their side and a wild tree next to them. There was not much space, so the two had to squeeze together.

Lu Zhan put his arms around Tushan Shiyu's shoulders, supported himself on the mountain wall with both hands, and listened attentively.

"..."

Tushan Shiyu straightened his back and tried to stay as far away from Lu Zhan as possible, but he could still feel the warmth coming from Lu Zhan.

She was distracted for a moment, then concentrated her attention on the pavilion diagonally opposite.

Having led troops in battles for many years, Tushan Shiyu certainly has the thoughts of a daughter, but she is much calmer than ordinary women.

She is a fox who doesn't mind small matters.

It was dark, and the two did not dare to use their spiritual sense, and could not see the faces of the people playing chess in the pavilion. However, based on the conversation, they were able to determine that the old man in the white robe was the dean of Wutong Academy, Zhang Ran, also known as Zhang Daru.

Zhang Ran has a profound realm and deep attainments in Confucianism, and is highly respected in southern Xinjiang.

Of course, it’s only in southern Xinjiang.

If he were in the Great Zhou, he would at most be considered a provincial champion, far behind Lu Zhan's nephew, the dean of Lu Yun Academy. Even if rounded off, he would not be as good as Lu Zhan.

Sitting opposite Zhang Ran was a woman who was wearing black traditional southern Xinjiang clothing and a veil on her head. Her features could not be seen, but she had a mature demeanor and a voluptuous and graceful figure.

The pavilion was built on the top of the mountain and was within the sphere of influence of Wutong Academy. There was no one around to disturb them. The two of them were playing chess and chatting. They seemed casual, but in fact, they were both on guard.

Fortunately, Lu Zhan and Tushan Shiyu were no ordinary people. Not only did they wear breath-concealing robes, they also took elixirs. Now they were deliberately hiding their auras and were not discovered by the other party.

Lu Zhan's ears twitched slightly, taking in all the conversation in the pavilion.

In the pavilion.

The woman in black was calm and composed, her white fingers placed the black chess piece on the ground, her voice was soft and indifferent:

"You are too careless, Shanzhang. Your plan has been known to the outside world. If I hadn't kept it a secret for you, I'm afraid it would have reached the king. How are you going to end it when everyone knows about it?"

The woman's expression could not be seen clearly through the veil, but her voice sounded vaguely dissatisfied. It was Ji Mengli.

After Ji Mengli parted with Qingruo, she came to Wutong Academy.

Qingruo was right. Ji Mengli knew about Wutong Academy's murder of cultivators and attempt to revive the mirage demon.

However, unlike the rumors outside, Wutong Academy does not want to revive the mirage demon, but simply wants to obtain the mirage demon's power.

This matter should have been carried out in secret, but now even the people of the Hehuan Sect know about it, which shows that it was done very dirty. If someone deliberately investigates, this matter will be exposed sooner or later.

Wutong Academy killed thousands of cultivators, which is a serious crime.

Ji Mengli originally wanted to use Wutong Academy, but now she saw that the other party was so careless, she was furious. But now she was using the identity of "Saint of Southern Border", so she had to suppress her anger and talk to Zhang Ran in a coy manner, even deliberately lowering her voice, which was very irritable.

Zhang Ran, who was sitting opposite, had no change in expression. He played with the white chess pieces in his hand and said softly:

"Your Excellency, you are overly concerned. I have been operating in Southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years before Wutong Academy has achieved its current status. Even if my subordinates make some mistakes, they will not cause any trouble."

Ji Mengli knew that Zhang Ran was conceited, so she sneered and said:

"Of course I trust the headmaster's ability, but if this matter is exposed, the entire Wutong Academy will suffer a devastating disaster. Although I want to help cover it up, I am afraid that I will be powerless by then."

Zhang Ran put down the chess piece, raised his eyes and said, "No regrets after making this move. Since I have decided to do this, I will not regret it even if I fail. I know Your Excellency is anxious to open the Demon Sealing Secret Realm, but the time is not right now."

"..."

Ji Mengli looked at Zhang Ran opposite her, still smiling, but feeling a little impatient in her heart.

The Demon Sealed Secret Realm was formed when the Mirage Demon fell. It is said that it contains the remaining power of the Mirage Demon. Both she and Zhang Ran want this power.

However, the method to open the secret realm of demons is very sinister.

First, we must use the flesh and blood of humans to cultivate the "Ghost-Eating Gu". The Ghost-Eating Gu is the most evil of all Gu. It is said that when it is cultivated to the extreme, it can devour everything. And only the Ghost-Eating Gu can swallow the demonic barriers outside the Demon-Sealed Secret Realm and forcibly open the secret realm.

The growth period of the Ghost-Eating Gu is quite long.

In order to allow the Ghost-Eating Gu to grow as quickly as possible, Zhang Ran planned for hundreds of years, using the Sleeping Valley of the Demon Sealing Ruins as a cover to hunt down many cultivators and use the cultivators' bodies to nourish the Ghost-Eating Gu.

Ji Mengli accidentally learned about this matter when she was the elder of Black Water. She kept silent in order to use Zhang Ran at the critical moment.

Later, the Black Water Sect was destroyed, and Ji Mengli killed the saint and took her place in order to threaten Zhang Ran.

Although the laws in Southern Xinjiang are not as strict as those in the Central Plains, they will never allow such incidents to happen.

Zhang Ran knew the seriousness of the matter and respected Ji Mengli very much, but after all, it involved the power of the mirage demon, so Zhang Ran didn't want to share it with anyone.

Seeing the Ghost-Devouring Gu gradually growing and the Demon-Sealed Secret Realm about to be opened, Zhang Ran was still hesitant to take any action.

Ji Mengli saw the old fox's thoughts and said slowly:

"Zhang Ran, my patience is limited. I will give you one month to open the Demon Sealed Secret Realm. If you can't do it..."

Ji Mengli's beautiful eyes turned and looked towards Wutong Academy halfway up the mountain. She said leisurely, "Then you will be buried with Wutong Academy."

"..."

Zhang Ran's hand holding the chess piece paused slightly. He had long known that the Saint was decisive in killing, and now it seemed to be true.
