Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

A thoughtful look flashed in Ling Xuewei's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

……

The banquet was halfway through.

A disciple of the Mingguang Sect arrived and whispered a few words in Yao Yi's ear. Yao Yi immediately nodded and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I have some important matters to attend to, so I will have to take my leave now."

He punished himself with a drink, then turned and left.

Soon, he entered another grand hall.

"Yao Yi pays respects to the Holy Maiden!"

Nuns stood on both sides of the main hall, while at the head was a woman in a white dress. The woman did not shave her head and still had long black hair. She was like a peerless Bodhisattva who had stepped out of a painting, extremely holy and elegant!

"Has the location of the underworld been confirmed?"

The saintess at the head of the table remained silent, while a nun beside her asked a question.

"Yes, Xingtian's Underworld is located within Crimson Blood Mountain!"

Yao Yi spoke politely.

"Alright, thank you very much. This is the Cihang Holy Land's expression of gratitude to the Mingguang Sect."

The middle-aged nun spoke, and a beam of light shot out from her sleeve, landing in Yao Yi's hand. Yao Yi opened it and saw that it was a crimson-gold pill!

Yao Yi knew that this pill was a minor divine pill, which could increase the probability of a breakthrough by 70% for a powerhouse at the Three Life and Ten Thousand Things Realm!

"Thank you!"

Yao Yi accepted the pill, then hesitated for a moment before raising his eyes to look at the saintess above.

She wore a veil, and only a red cinnabar dot could be seen between her eyebrows. Her eyes were clear and ethereal, like stars.

"Holy Maiden, the people from the Dao Palace have also arrived. They have been exploring Xing Tian's Underworld for a long time and are determined to obtain this place... I wonder if the Holy Maiden is confident in entering the Underworld?"

He took the initiative to speak.

The Holy Maiden Cihang said calmly, "Young Master Yao, please speak frankly."

“I have a way to help the Holy Maiden.”

Yao Yi said.

What do you want?

"Yao Yi wanted to learn Zen Buddhism, cut off worldly desires, and attain true freedom."

Yao Yi spoke calmly.

"You have greed in your heart,"

The Holy Maiden Cihang calmly said, "Young Master Yao, I have a word for you."

"When greed arises, all hope is lost."

"Those who seek freedom will imprison themselves in a cage; true freedom can only be glimpsed within that cage."

"see a visitor out."

The nun next to her stepped forward.

Yao Yi was taken aback. He prided himself on his superior talent, emotional intelligence, and wisdom; otherwise, he would not have been able to rise to the position of candidate for Holy Son within the Mingguang Sect as an Earthling.

He asked himself if his answer was perfectly correct, so why was this saintess so cold and unapproachable?

He wanted to say something more, but he stopped himself, took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Yao Yi, farewell."

After he left.

"Shouldn't the Holy Maiden ask him if he has any ideas?"

The middle-aged nun looked puzzled.

Cihang Saintess said, "Now that I am here, why do I need the help of others? I can enter Xingtian's underworld on my own, and I can obtain his inheritance on my own."

Extremely confident!

"However, Yao Yi is someone who knows when to advance and when to retreat..."

The middle-aged nun said, "She can be considered outstanding."

"It's just a strategic retreat. He thinks I'll come looking for him again, and then the roles will be reversed."

The Holy Maiden Cihang remained calm and composed.

The middle-aged nun asked, "Does the Holy Maiden believe this person is unsuitable for cultivation?"

"If he truly desired to sever all ties to achieve freedom, how could he have become a candidate for the Holy Son of the Mingguang Sect?" said the Holy Maiden Cihang.

"Therefore, seeking the Dharma of Zen is illusory, while using it to seek personal gain is real. Their intentions are nothing more than two possibilities: one is to use my power to compete for the position of the Holy Son, and the other is to use me as a way out to escape the predicament of the Mingguang Sect. Their intentions are nothing but petty scheming, having lost their purity and become confused about the depths, and they are beyond redemption."

"They're not even as honest and straightforward as ordinary people on the street."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged nun couldn't help but laugh. "So, it seems that the Holy Maiden only took a fancy to one promising talent on this trip? It's a pity she didn't keep him back then."

The Holy Maiden Cihang said, "If it is one of our disciples, they will come naturally; if the connection is broken, there is no need to ask further."

……

"How is the situation at the Cihang Holy Land?"

night.

Madam Snow spoke to Yao Yi.

“This is the elixir they promised,”

Yao Yi presented the small divine pill.

"Hmm?" Madam Snow looked at him calmly, her eyes questioning.

“The Holy Maiden Cihang refused.”
