Seeing Feng Mazi's expression, Ye Fei was also a little confused.

Could it be that Feng Mazi saw something about me?

Is that why he is so nice to me?

Isn't it because I am my senior sister's junior brother that he takes such good care of me?

That's right, how could these old foxes in the cultivation world be so nice to others for no reason...

Just as Ye Fei was thinking about this, Master Feng Mazi suddenly said, "Why is it you?"

Hearing his question like this, Feng Mazi was confused again: "Ah? Master, do you recognize him?"

"I don't recognize him!" Master Feng Mazi shook his head, but his eyes could not move away from Ye Fei's face. He looked at Ye Fei carefully, as if he wanted to verify whether he had recognized the wrong person.

"Then why do you ask this?" Feng Mazi looked at his master in confusion.

But the old man slowly shook his head and said, "I saw his portrait at the palace girl's place many years ago!"

"Girl Gong?" Feng Mazi exclaimed.

"Dragon Duck Head?" Ye Fei was also stunned: "Why is he called Drake Head and not Duck Head? Who gave him such an ugly nickname? It's even worse than me!"

Feng Mazi and his disciple both looked at Ye Fei with disgust.

However, neither of them said anything, and instead began to communicate through soul transmission.

"Master, are you sure you have seen the portrait of this boy with her?" Feng Mazi asked his master excitedly through soul transmission.

"Sure!" the old man nodded.

"How strange! Why is this boy's portrait in her hands?" Feng Mazi looked at his master suspiciously. "According to what you said before, isn't she a famously ruthless saint in the Heavenly Palace Temple and even in the entire fairy world? How could she have a portrait of a man in her hands? Is she trying to harm this boy?"

"Don't worry! It's a great honor for Gong Yatou to have his portrait in her hands." Master Feng Mazi suddenly said comfortingly:

"You should have heard me mention the relationship between me and Gong Yatou's master. Before her master ascended to the divine realm, she specifically asked me to help look after her. Therefore, I know a little about the portrait in her hand.

According to her, this portrait was left to her by her master before he ascended to heaven. Before leaving, her master told her that her fate and future were in the hands of this boy. As long as he could find her, this person would be able to help him ascend to godhood and successfully enter the realm of gods.

On the contrary, without this boy's help, with Gong Yatou's talent and luck, she would never be able to set foot in the divine realm in this lifetime."

"Ah?" Feng Mazi exclaimed in his heart and quickly turned his head to take another look at Ye Fei.

At this time, Ye Fei saw that the two old men ignored him. He knew that they must be communicating privately, so he closed his eyes and meditated again.

Faced with such a scene, even Feng Mazi, who found it somewhat unbelievable, couldn't help but believe a little bit what his master had just said.

After all, no young man could sit and meditate so calmly after being thrown into the dungeon of the Heavenly Palace.

Brat, no wonder he was in the mood to meditate and practice before, it seems that he is fearless and has already found a way to escape.

Just as Feng Mazi was thinking about this, his master slowly added, "Before I came here, Gong girl had already led people to the Celestial Palace to cause trouble. I wanted to rush over to stop her, but because I was worried about your safety, I rushed to the Celestial Palace to rescue you first."

"Then why were you thrown into this underwater dungeon?" Feng Mazi asked.

"I never thought that the Immortal Court had already issued an order that anyone who wanted to come to the dungeon to rescue someone would be considered guilty and thrown into the dungeon together, with no hope of rebirth. So, I came down here!"

"what?"

"Ah..." The old man sighed softly and turned his head to look at Ye Fei: "I didn't figure it out at first, but when I saw this kid, I think I can probably guess what's going on."

The old man said this and suddenly changed the subject: "It turns out that the Immortal Court is not targeting us, the master and the disciple. They really want to deal with the Heavenly Palace Temple, the girl Gong and this boy! We are just innocent bystanders!"

"That's impossible?" Feng Mazi exclaimed. "From what I know, this guy is just a mortal who just crossed over from the mortal world. What merits and abilities does he have to make the Immortal Court target him like this?"

"You bastard!" The old man glared at Feng Mazi with disdain. Even though Feng Mazi looked even older than his master, in the old man's eyes, Feng Mazi would always be the little brat he had been when he first became his apprentice. "When you look at anything, you must learn to see its essence."

"Essence?" Feng Mazi looked confused.

"The essence is..." The old man suddenly said seriously, "The Immortal Court has always regarded the Heavenly Palace Temple as a thorn in its side. Back then, the Qing Palace Patriarch always refused to obey the Immortal Court's constraints and always opposed it. Later, he ascended to heaven. When it was the turn of the Changgong Taoist to take over the Heavenly Palace Temple, he perfectly inherited his master's legacy and wishes and continued to oppose the Immortal Court.

Now, the Taoist Changgong has also ascended to the divine realm, and it is the turn of Gong Qingcheng, the girl, to take charge of the Heavenly Palace Temple. She still refuses to accept the Immortal Court's dispatch and still makes things difficult for the Immortal Court.

No matter what kind of decree the Immortal Court issues, the Heavenly Palace Temple will always be the one that takes the lead in disobeying.

One can imagine what the attitude of the Immortal Court is towards the Heavenly Palace Temple.

In the past, because the Qing Palace Patriarch was there, the Immortal Court did not dare to act rashly. Later, because the Chang Palace Taoist was there, the Immortal Court still had some reservations, but now..."

The old man said this and slowly shook his head. "In terms of Taoism, status in the immortal world, and influence in all aspects, how can this Gong girl be compared with her master and her master? The Immortal Court will certainly not take her seriously, and at the same time, they will naturally not miss such a good opportunity to destroy the Heavenly Palace Temple.

Of course, what they feared more was that if this boy really had some ability and helped Gong Yatou, allowing her to ascend to the divine realm as well, wouldn't the Immortal Court miss such a great opportunity? "

"Missed the opportunity?" Feng Mazi frowned. "Master, I don't quite understand this. If the Immortal Court really hates the Heavenly Palace Temple that much, shouldn't they wait until Gong Qingcheng truly ascends to heaven before attacking the Heavenly Palace Temple? Wouldn't that be easier?"

"What do you know!" Master Feng Mazi said coldly, "It is said that if three people from a clan ascend to the divine realm within a hundred years, this lineage will be granted a divine palace in the divine realm and thus dominate the area.

Think about it, among the various forces in the fairy world that once assisted the fairy court in suppressing the Heavenly Palace Temple, who would be willing to see such a thing happen?

"Once Gong Yatou ascends to the divine realm, she will have met the criteria for being granted a divine residence in the divine realm. If more people from the immortal realm ascend to the divine realm in the future, will they still have a good life in the divine realm?"

"Yes!" Feng Mazi slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.

However, at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he immediately asked again: "Hey, Master, that's not right! How could they know that Ye Fei could help Gong Qingcheng ascend to godhood?"

Hearing Feng Mazi's question, his master immediately glared at him fiercely, "Haven't I told you many times that the Heavenly Palace Temple has long been a thorn in the side of the Immortal Court? If you were the one in power in the Immortal Court, wouldn't you send some people to the Heavenly Palace Temple to act as spies? Do you think the Heavenly Palace Temple doesn't have enough spies?"

Even if there's no such thing as a spy, I heard that this girl violated the rules and sent people down to the lower realms ten years ago. They distributed over 100,000 portraits of this kid there, asking people to help find him. Do you think the Immortal Court doesn't know about this?"

"So that's it!" Feng Mazi finally understood what was going on.

"Ah..." At this moment, Master Feng Mazi suddenly sighed: "Originally, I thought there might be a chance for this matter to turn around, but after seeing this kid, I think there's probably no hope for this turnaround.

With Gong Yatou's current strength, it is still difficult for her to compete head-on with the Immortal Court. She has always been calm and composed, and extremely cunning, but for some reason she lost her composure this time and actually led people directly to the Immortal Court to argue with the Immortal Emperor.

In my opinion, the Immortal Emperor was probably worried about having no legitimate reason to do so, but now, with this girl making such a fuss, the Immortal Court has a legitimate reason to destroy the Heavenly Palace Temple!"

"So, we can't get out?" Feng Mazi looked desperate.

“Unless Miss Gong can gain the upper hand, otherwise…” Master Feng Mazi shook his head: “With her current strength, how can she gain the upper hand? If the old ancestor Qinggong and the old Taoist of Changgong were here, there might be a chance. But now… once those two old guys are gone, they’ve become obsolete.

Those forces that were friendly with her in the past have long been defeated by the Immortal Court and have all surrendered to the Immortal Court. Now, who is willing to stand up and speak for Gong Yatou! Anyone who dares to come, I will be a living example. "

"Oh..." This time, it was Feng Mazi's turn to sigh.

He just sighed deeply, his face full of despair.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, three chains as thick as arms fell from above, with an iron hook on the top of each chain. After the chains fell rapidly, the iron hooks hooked the iron cage of the three people, and then the iron cage where the three people were located began to rise rapidly.

In just a short while, the three iron cages emerged from the water, flew directly to the shore, and landed on the shore.

An old Taoist priest was standing on the shore. He was none other than Lord Yu, who had led people to capture Ye Fei and Feng Mazi.

He was seen making a few hand seals with his hands, and then waving his right hand.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The square iron cage suddenly fell apart, and Ye Fei and Feng Mazi, the master and disciple, regained their freedom.

Master Yu had a stern face and said coldly to Feng Mazi, his apprentice, and Ye Fei: "Go back to where you came from!"
