Mysterious mirror hanging high

Wenren Nuo was struggling with this when he suddenly heard a voice from within his body:

"My dear disciple, how are you these days?"

"scare!"

Wen Rennuo nearly jumped up from his seat, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, they said the Imperial Uncle was here, but when did this old brat manage to enter my body again? I'm a Nascent Soul True Lord with seven orifices now, after all. Our realms are similar, so how come I didn't even notice?"

Although he cursed in his heart, he still spoke kindly, tears welling up in his eyes as he said:

"Master, when did you come? I miss you so much!"

"Oh? I see you're living a good life. You spend your days either listening to music or watching plays, or going to various departments in the Heavenly Court to show off your power... You're really enjoying yourself!"

"I heard you're now a second-rank official in the Heavenly Court? Hehe, Xiao Guanying... no, Xiao Shihua really thinks highly of you. You're just an early Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you're practically surpassing many Great True Lords."

"Master's teaching is indeed effective..." Wenren Nuoda flattered him.

"Good teaching? I didn't teach you that damn Dragon Licking Technique."

Wen Rennuo's expression became serious: "Master, I wonder why you came here this time..."

"Now that the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty has been destroyed and the external threat to the Immortal Continent has been eliminated, I suspect that Xiao Guanying will cause trouble again. Naturally, we must take precautions and, if necessary, take preemptive action."

Jing Yuyan said, "You hold a high position in the Heavenly Court, and the information you receive is often firsthand. Please help me keep an eye on it."

Wen Rennuo looked embarrassed when he heard this: "This... Master, it's not that I'm slacking off... It's just that Xiao Guanying rarely goes out these days, and I can't see him."

"If someone like you, who is in the emperor's favor, can't see Emperor Xiao Tian, ​​then who else can see him?" Jing Yu said lightly.

Wen Rennuo sighed, "Master, you may not know that the Heavenly Court is now divided into two systems: one for Heaven and one for the Earth."

"Xiao Shihua is the Human Emperor, in charge of the human world and the country."

"Xiao Guanying is the [Emperor of Heaven], he only cares about the affairs of heaven and has not been on earth for a long time."

"My disciples belong to the temple system in the human world. As for the height of heaven? It is so high that it has no boundaries and can no longer be seen."

"Then you should keep an eye on Xiao Shihua. After all, my incarnations are one and the same, so there's no telling who is who."

"This……"

Wen Rennuo looked hesitant and remained silent for a while.

"Hmm?" Jing Yu frowned. "Why are you so hesitant today?"

"Master..."

Wen Rennuo didn't know what was wrong with him. He lost his usual eloquence and gritted his teeth to speak out his true feelings:

"I...I...are you determined to fight the Heavenly Court to a decisive victory? Can't we just keep our distance and rule the world separately?"

"Have you become stupid as an official in the Heavenly Court?"

Jing Yu scolded, "What Xiao Guanying wants to do is to re-organize and formulate the laws of the Celestial Continent. He wants to be the common ruler of the entire Celestial Continent. How can he tolerate the existence of a lawless place?"

"It's not that we free and easy cultivators want to go against him, but that he, Xiao Guanying, can't tolerate us!"

"If we let it go, it will just be another Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty!"

Wen Rennuo stammered, "But...but, Master, you are incredibly gifted and are now the world's number one True Lord. All the cultivators in the entire Immortal Continent know that you are destined to be able to see things clearly. Ascending to the Immortal Realm in the future will not be a difficult matter. Since you are destined to ascend, why bother with the affairs of the world?"

"absurd!"

Jing Yu angrily said, "Master, you can just walk away. Many of your friends have the potential to ascend, but there are still relatives and friends who will have to live in the lower realms for the rest of their lives. Can I just sit back and watch them succumb to Xiao Guanying's heavenly principles?"

"Besides, even though I'm alone, I just can't stand Xiao Guanying's arbitrary decisions and his insistence on creating another Heavenly Dao. Can't I intervene?"

"I'm not talking about self-interest or anything like that. If I see someone bullying the weak on the street, can I go up and give him a slap in the face out of righteous indignation?"

"Fuck it, isn't spiritual practice all about clearing your mind and being free and happy? If you really want to, you have to weigh the pros and cons. Xiao Guanying should have crawled from heaven to the East China Sea to lick Lu Yingzhao's feet! Why is he still fighting us to the death?"

Wen Rennuo was dumbfounded for a moment and said, "Master, be more polite..."

"You've finally spoken some truth today! What's the matter? Are you reluctant to part with your second-rank scarlet court robes?"

Wen Rennuo seemed to have been humiliated, and argued anxiously:

"Yes, being an official is truly impressive! Being a high-ranking official means you command the support of hundreds. I, your disciple, enjoy the feeling of being above everyone else, there's nothing much to say about that... But a genuine Yuanying Zhenjun, or even a Qiqiao Zhenjun, even if he doesn't hold this position, would still be a powerful figure anywhere. Why would he just hang on to an old crooked tree in Heaven?"

"I feel that Brother Shihua truly recognizes me as a friend. He has treated me well over the years. Not only has he cared about my well-being, but he has also never lacked spiritual resources for cultivation and has been generous in guiding me through the key points of cultivation..."

"Friends should be loyal to each other. It's fine if I'm disloyal, but I can't stab my friend in the back! Isn't that putting me in an unfair position?"

Jing Yu said coldly, "That's right! You want to save your friendship and forget about the master-disciple relationship. Just send a communication talisman to summon Xiao Guanying, Xiao Shihua, and all the other gods of heaven. Just leave me here!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never see it again."

"I...I didn't mean that!"

Wen Rennuo felt wronged: "Master has been so kind to me, I will never betray you. But it would be difficult for me to ignore our friendship for so many years..."

His face was ashen as death. He just sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and said, "It's hard to be both loyal and righteous. Why don't you just slap me to death here and save your disciple from such a difficult situation?"

"Good good!"

Jing Yu laughed in anger: "You're trying to play this trick on me? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Wenren Nuo simply started to act like a spoiled child. He simply lay down on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, looked like he was waiting to die, and stopped talking.

After a while, seeing that Jing Yu had no intention of taking action, Wen Rennuo slowly opened his tightly closed eyes a crack, feeling uneasy.

"Forget it, just think that I don't recognize you. Go to heaven and be your high official. We will part ways from now on!"

Immediately, the voice in the body fell silent, and there was no more sound of Jing Yu.

"Master? Master?"

Wen Rennuo opened his eyes and tried calling out a few times, but there was no response. He thought Jing Yu had left, and a huge weight lifted off his chest. He couldn't help but sigh in relief, but then he lamented in his heart:

"Alas... This whole thing has made me feel like a nobody! If Brother Shihua knew I was an undercover agent sent by Master, I'm afraid he wouldn't necessarily accept my favor."
