After Favorability Is Maxed

334 Body and Name Destroyed

“Go back?” Liu Yuan was slightly stunned. He thought for a moment and said, “Is it because you of Zhi Chunqiu? He doesn’t seem to trust Bi Luo Mansion anymore.”

Ling Hua nodded and walked into the room with a serious expression. “He’s not someone to be trifled with. If it wasn’t for Grandmaster Ding Luan’s insistence on leaving the position of Sect Master to my Master before he left, he would have been the one to take over. Whether it’s in terms of intelligence, tactics, or cultivation, he’s far superior to my Master.”

Liu Yuan followed her in and said, “But what Senior Ding Luan values the most is his character. Just this alone is enough to make him unqualified. No, to be able to easily use the lives of his disciples as chess pieces, he’s not only unqualified. He’s basically playing the negative game, and he’s more suited to be a demon sect disciple.”

Ling Hua’s expression was gentle as she turned around and looked at him. “Many people think that my Master is indecisive and is not suitable to be the Sect Master.”

Liu Yuan’s face was serious as he said, “Someone who can be entrusted with such heavy responsibility by Senior Ding Luan must have extraordinary abilities. For example. me… Cough, Gu Chang, who I brought into the Jade Mirage Sect.”

Ling Hua laughed and turned her head around. She went to the inner room and said, “Zhi Chunqiu has stopped asking for help from the Bi Luo Mansion. Now, the people who are cooperating with them are only the other people from the three palaces. He has probably noticed the intention of the Bi Luo Mansion, so he has been pretending to be quiet and reflecting on his mistakes. Everyone’s attention has been attracted by the conflict between the three palaces and the seven sects, as well as the frequent attacks from the Bi Luo Mansion.”

Liu Yuan frowned and said, “As expected… Did any spies find out what he was up to?”

Ling Hua shook her head and said, ” Netherworld is sending people to investigate. It will probably take some time. But I can already guess what he’s trying to do.”

“Junxuan!” Hong Luan suddenly ran out, her small face flushed with excitement. She hugged Liu Yuan and quickly climbed onto his neck, sitting on his arm.

She first kissed Liu Yuan’s face, then looked warily at Ling Guang, who was holding onto his other arm. She puffed up her cheeks and said, “Who is she?”

Liu Yuan held the puppet firmly and said kindly, “She’s called Ling Guang.”

“Divine Lord Vermillion Bird?” Hong Ling asked suspiciously.

“Hong Luan knows about the Four Symbols?” Liu Yuan asked.

The little puppet walked out of the empty tomb chamber. It could be said that it knew nothing about the outside world. It had no common sense at all. It must have been looking for books to read on the Wuyin Cliff these days.

The puppet nodded vigorously and raised its chin with bright eyes. “Hong Luan has been learning all kinds of common knowledge.”

She stared at Liu Yuan, probably to express her desire for praise and reward.

Liu Yuan’s left and right arms were currently occupied and he could not even touch her head. He could only withstand the pressure of Ling Guang’s gaze and return a kiss on Hong Luan’s forehead.

In terms of who was the easiest to please, it was definitely Hong Luan.

The little puppet touched her forehead with both hands, and her white and tender face blushed. Her face revealed a happy expression, and she even forgot the question she had wanted to ask.

Liu Yuan sighed in his heart. If only everyone was like Hong Luan.

However, perhaps it was because Hong Luan did not look threatening at all, and her cute appearance easily attracted women, Ling Guang’s gaze softened and she tentatively reached out to touch Hong Luan’s head.

The little puppet turned its head in confusion and saw that it was Ling Guang – the woman who had just appeared to snatch Junxuan away. She immediately puffed up her cheeks and covered her head, not allowing Ling Guang to touch it.

Ling Guang retracted her hand and revealed a gentle smile. “Hong Luan is so cute.”

Liu Yuan was expressionless as he heard the voice in his ear, “Are you a scumbag?”

After her true face was exposed, she simply didn’t hide it anymore, this scorned Phoenix.

Ling Guang laughed innocently, not revealing a single flaw. “I heard it all. Ten more times.”

“…” Liu Yuan pretended not to hear and explained, ” Hong Luan is a puppet and has existed for at least a thousand years. She is not as young as she looks.”

Ling Guang’s pupils shrank and she was a little surprised because she did not realize that Hong Luan was a puppet… For a moment, she was filled with great curiosity.

While she was more interested in Hong Luan, Liu Yuan muttered to himself for a moment and then said to Ling Hua, “You just said that you wanted to go back to the Jade Mirage Sect to see your master and Ling Yu… Could it be that Zhi Chunqiu is planning to directly attack your master?”

Ling Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice, “Zhi Chunqiu is an arrogant and upright person… A few days ago, my Master directly dismissed him because of Ling Yu’s matter. He also put him under house arrest. I’m afraid that he’s unable to calm down. Now, he’s ready to cut off all means of retreat… My guess is that he planned to kill Master and pretend that it was done by the people of Bi Luo Mansion to cause chaos in the Jade Mirage sect. Under such circumstances, he had to bypass the impartation and monument rubbing and directly push him to the top.”

“It’s very likely…” Liu Yuan agreed. He was stunned for a moment. “Wait a minute, about LIng Yu? What’s wrong with Ling Yu? I came here in a hurry, so I only heard that your master dismissed Zhi Chunqiu, but I don’t know the specific reason.”

Ling Hua shook her head and said, “The Jade Mirage Sect is in a mess now. All kinds of news are spreading around. My Junior Sister’s words carry little weight, so it’s normal that no one is paying attention to her. She blocked Xu Xinhong’s Ten Thousand Maple Rivers, which she paid with her life, and absorbed all the poison. Now her mind has been greatly damaged, and she’s as ignorant as a child. Before long, she can only return to her original form and start cultivating again.”

“Original form?”

“Mm, I forgot that you probably don’t know, but my Junior Sister is the Nine Heavens Jade Stem in human form, a type of demon beast spirit. It’s just that she was born with a pure mind and doesn’t have any demonic Qi. On the contrary, she’s suited for cultivation.”

Liu Yuan recalled the furore’s love for Chuichui, how she convinced Hu Jiuniang to let her touch her fox tail, and the final battle with Ling Yu in the ring of the Singing Sword competition.

The purity in Ling Yu’s eyes when she readily agreed to send Gu Chang to the Jade Mirage Sect.

“She must have rushed up on her own.” Liu Yuan sighed. “Was Zhi Chunqiu there? ”

Ling Zheng said, “Xu Xinhong was here for Zhi Chunqiu, but it’s a pity that they overestimated Zhi Chunqiu’s concern for the Jade Mirage disciples. He would rather preserve his dignity than show his battered side in front of his disciples. He’s even more unwilling to cause himself serious injuries for some insignificant disciples.”

In the end, Lingyu was the one who sacrificed herself. Liu Yuan was livid. Once again, Zhi Chunqiu treated his disciples like they were nothing. How could such a person still dream of being the Sect Master?

He was simply daydreaming!

“Let’s go and take a look. I’ll go with you.” Liu Yuan laughed coldly. “Call Zhiying and Netherworld back. Let Zhiying go and investigate. Netherworld should prepare the materials that we have collected these days. It’s time for us to close the net. Since he wants to die early, I’ll satisfy him and give him a death sentence.”

“Alright,” Ling Hua looked at him and smiled.

Liu Yuan coughed again and said, “I’ll go and save Ling Jie first…”

He walked to the other room and Zhizhi suddenly popped her head out. She flew over in surprise and shouted, “Daddy!”

Liu Yuan subconsciously replied, “Yes.”

Ling Guang, “…?”
