The grass in the factory should be plucked

Zhu Yingying was speechless for a moment.

How could she know what was wrong with True Lord Chonghua?

We can't feel guilty towards Xiao Lili just because he wants to find another partner, can we?

Besides, who would take the experiences in the small world seriously?

For cultivators, experiencing the mortal realm is merely a game in the mundane world. Once they return to their true selves, they should let go of those past worldly affairs, return to their respective sects, find their respective masters, and do whatever they need to do.

The reason why Mingxuan Zhenjun was angry was not because Chonghua Zhenjun was "heartless," but because he felt sorry for Jiang Li, who was forced to experience marriage, childbirth, and raising children at such a young age. He worried that she would not be able to see through the illusions of the world and would not be able to let go of worldly love entanglements and blood relatives, which would be an obstacle to her Dao heart.

What I fear even more is that she has fallen deeply in love with Chonghua Zhenjun. If she finds out that he hastily found another Daoist partner as soon as he returns, I wonder how heartbroken she will be.

He had put a lot of effort into sealing Jiang Li's memories, but now that True Monarch Chonghua has come knocking on his door, hasn't he been exposed?

The senior students looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Where did Master go? Why didn't he stop True Lord Chonghua?!

Upon hearing the news, Mingxuan Zhenjun was so angry that his veins bulged.

He went out today, just as Zhu Yingying said, to spend the spirit stone!

Upon hearing that the hunters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance had stolen a lot of spirit beast cubs and spirit beast eggs from the demon race's territory and put them up for auction in the black market, he immediately went to "check out the goods" with great excitement.

Upon receiving an urgent message from the sect leader, True Lord Qingyuan, he had no choice but to rush back.

At this moment, Qingyuan Zhenjun was also extremely troubled and stood helplessly in front of the mountain gate, surrounded by a large group of disciples and spirit beasts who were peeking and watching the excitement.

He received a message from the gatekeeper disciple, a spirit bird, saying that the newly promoted True Monarch Chonghua of the Sword Sect had arrived and was requesting an audience with True Monarch Mingxuan and his disciple Jiang Li.

Qingyuan Zhenjun was taken aback and hurriedly sent someone to invite Mingxuan Zhenjun, only to be told by the disciples of Baohua Peak that the Zhenjun had gone out!

Surely Jiang Li, being a junior disciple, can't be the one to greet guests?

Moreover, since True Monarch Chonghua is about to find a Daoist partner, True Monarch Qingyuan has received news that the woman is none other than his fellow disciple from the Sword Sect.

At this critical juncture, why did he come to the Beast Taming Sect and specifically ask to see Jiang Li?

Qingyuan Zhenjun had no choice but to personally go out to greet him.

"The presence of True Lord Chonghua is an honor to our humble sect!"

This genius of the Sword Sect was naturally seen by True Monarch Qingyuan. After advancing to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, Xie Chang'an became even more handsome and peerless, with a magnificent presence. Standing quietly in front of the mountain gate, he was truly as beautiful as autumn water and as elegant as jade, leaving all the female disciples stunned.

Xie Chang'an smiled slightly and respectfully performed the junior's greeting: "Sword Sect Chonghua greets True Lord Qingyuan."

Qingyuan Zhenjun was very puzzled. Although he was much older than Xie Chang'an, Ziyang Sword Venerable was a Nascent Soul Venerable. As his personal disciple, he could be treated as an equal. Moreover, Xie Chang'an had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Why did he treat him with the respect due to a junior?

He quickly stepped aside and said, "I dare not accept that! We are both Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so we can address each other as equals."

"Junior Brother Mingxuan has gone out. May I ask what important matter True Lord has to discuss?"

Xie Chang'an's eyes were filled with hope: "Is Fairy Jiang still in the sect? Is she alright?"

Qingyuan Zhenjun remained calm and said, "Junior Nephew Jiang was fortunate to be promoted by Zhenjun, so she should have come to pay her respects. However, I heard that she needs to stabilize her cultivation level, so she should still be in seclusion."

Xie Chang'an's heart tightened: "Still in seclusion? Is something wrong?"

Qingyuan Zhenjun smiled slightly: "Junior Nephew Jiang has advanced too quickly. Junior Brother Mingxuan is worried that her foundation is unstable, so he asked her to go into seclusion for a few more days."

Xie Chang'an was relieved: "In that case, I will wait here for her to come out of seclusion."

Qingyuan Zhenjun almost lost his composure. No, what are you, a dignified Nascent Soul Zhenjun, doing standing in front of someone else's mountain gate, guarding a mere disciple?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why does the True Lord wish to see Junior Nephew Jiang?"

Speaking of Jiang Li, Xie Chang'an's eyes were full of tenderness. He smiled and said, "I promised her that I would kowtow to her three hundred times as an apology."

The disciples watching immediately erupted in uproar.

"What did he say? Did I hear that right?"

"He said he would kowtow three hundred times to Junior Sister Jiang!"

"Could this True Monarch Chonghua be an imposter? Wasn't that one supposed to be incredibly aloof?"

"Exactly! Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Qingyuan Zhenjun thought he was hallucinating. A dignified Nascent Soul Zhenjun, was he supposed to kowtow to a mere disciple as an apology? And three hundred times?

"My lord, you must be joking!"

"I do not speak carelessly," Xie Chang'an said earnestly.

Just as Qingyuan Zhenjun was at a loss, a clear cry of the Golden-Winged Roc came from afar.

He was overjoyed; the person he was looking for had returned!

Before everyone's eyes, Mingxuan Zhenjun, dressed in a black Taoist robe with gold thread, floated down from the sky.

Xie Chang'an quickly stepped forward and respectfully performed the disciple's salute: "Disciple Chonghua greets True Lord!"

Everyone was shocked again; he actually called himself a disciple?!

Mingxuan Zhenjun was startled and frowned, asking, "What does Zhenjun mean by this?"

Xie Chang'an respectfully replied, "During my training in the small world, I learned the secret techniques of the Beast Taming Sect by chance..."

Both Mingxuan Zhenjun and Qingyuan Zhenjun had black lines on their faces.

That disloyal disciple, Xiao Lizi, who betrayed his own side, actually taught him the Beast Taming Sect's mental cultivation method!

Qingyuan Zhenjun's heart stirred. Since he called himself a "disciple", could it be that he wanted to become a disciple?

Wouldn't the Beast Taming Sect have gotten a Nascent Soul True Monarch for free?

Mingxuan Zhenjun's face darkened, and he transmitted his voice, "Trying to snatch that old scoundrel Ziyang's disciple? Do you and I have that ability?"

Qingyuan Zhenjun's eyes gleamed: "Being a nominal disciple, or even a guest elder would be fine."

Mingxuan Zhenjun glared at him and said to Xie Chang'an with a stern face, "Come with me."

"Yes."

Xie Chang'an responded respectfully, displaying the demeanor of a junior, which clearly left Yuan Zhenjun completely bewildered.

After Mingxuan Zhenjun took Xie Chang'an away, Qingyuan Zhenjun scolded the disciples who were still whispering among themselves, "Disperse, disperse, don't you have anything better to do?"

The disciples scattered in a flurry, eager to share this huge piece of gossip with their friends and family.

Qingyuan Zhenjun frowned.

This happened in front of the mountain gate, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and it was impossible to hide it any longer.

Before long, it will become the talk of the town and cause a sensation in the Tianyan Realm.

He couldn't imagine how furious the Sword Sect and the Purple Sun Sword Master would be upon hearing this.

"Sect Master Uncle!"

Just as Qingyuan Zhenjun was about to return, he saw Jiang Li riding a spirit deer in a hurry.

Zhu Yingying and several other senior students came along because they were worried about her.

"Little Li Zi, why aren't you in seclusion? What are you doing running around everywhere?"

Qingyuan Zhenjun coughed lightly and put on a stern face.

"Sect Master, I've emerged from seclusion!"

Jiang Li jumped off the deer's back, spun around in front of him twice, and said proudly, "Look, I'm in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage! Uncle-Master, aren't I amazing?"

"Mmm, amazing! Our little Lizi is the best!"

Qingyuan Zhenjun offered a few perfunctory compliments, saying, "Master Uncle has other matters to attend to; you can have fun on your own."

Just as he was about to make a quick getaway, Jiang Li grabbed his Taoist robe with lightning speed.

"Master Uncle, I heard that True Lord Chonghua has arrived. Where is he?"

"Let's go! Why did you look for him?"

"He's gone?" Jiang Li's eyes widened. "Didn't he say he was going to kowtow to me three hundred times?"

"Absurd!" Qingyuan Zhenjun said sternly. "Where did you hear this nonsense? It's unfounded!"
