Last spring, the Great Divine Priest of Light left his most important things to Sangsang before he fought with Master Yan Se under the pine tree at the top of a nameless mountain in the north of Chang 'an. Yan Se left the array eye pestle of the God-stunning Array and asked Sangsang to give it to Ning Que. The Great Divine Priest of Light left an ID token for Sangsang.
From that day on, Sangsang was no longer Ning Que's little handmaiden or the Miss in distress of the Grand Secretary's Mansion. She had a very special identity. Because of this identity, the Great Divine Priest of Revelation specially came to Chang 'an from the West-Hill to meet Ning Que and made a three-year appointment with him. And because of this identity, everyone in the Taoism Temple in the capital of the Kingdom of Qi knelt before the black horse carriage.
Ning Que didn't know until today that Sangsang had the official title of the Lady of Light in the West-Hill Divine Palace. Although he didn't like it subconsciously, he could tell that this title was extremely honorable. Looking at the priests and knights kneeling on the ground, looking at the red-robed priest in front of him who was in tears, and feeling the solemn atmosphere, he was a little confused to find that his little handmaiden was already a bigwig.
…
…
In the evening, two figures appeared on the highest floor of the white Taoism Temple in the capital of the Kingdom of Qi. The golden sunlight shrouded the place, and the ginkgo leaves on the street formed a beautiful contrast.
Ning Que quietly looked at the foreign autumn. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the old and tired face of the red-robed priest. He said, "Do you know what it means to let a Great Divine Priest of Light die in your Taoism Temple? Although she isn't now, everyone in Haotian Taoism knows that she will be in three years."
Looking at him, the red-robed priest's cloudy eyes revealed a very complicated emotion. He was a little grateful and a little angry. He said, "Mr. Thirteen, I think you should understand one thing. No one cares more about the safety of the Lady of Light than the West-Hill Divine Palace. As for me, I will do my best. Otherwise, I would rather die."
Ning Que didn't know what to say when he heard this answer. Even he couldn't find any fault with the old priest's actions in the past half a day.
Relying on the supreme power of the West-Hill Divine Palace in its vassal states, the red-robed divine priest mobilized the entire Taoism Temple and the imperial court of the Kingdom of Qi to kidnap the most famous doctors in the capital and bring them back to the Taoism Temple to treat Sangsang in a short period of time. As for the antidote that Ning Que had left for Eleventh Brother, he had already prepared two of them forcibly from the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Qi.
After taking the medicine, most of the toxins in Sangsang's body had been eliminated. She was obviously getting better. Although she was still unconscious most of the time, at least her life was not in danger.
"The poison in the Divine Throne is very peculiar. Mr. Thirteen, although your prescription is extremely brilliant, it obviously can't be completely eradicated. We still need to think of other methods. As for the Yin energy in the Divine Throne, I can't …"
When the red-robed divine priest mentioned Sangsang, he didn't use the official title of Lady of Light for Sangsang in the West-Hill Divine Palace. Instead, he called her the Divine Throne, as if he was certain that Sangsang would inherit the Divine Throne of Light.
Speaking of this, the old priest looked at Ning Que coldly and said with endless anger, "The Divine Throne's health is so important. How did the Academy take care of her?"
Most people in Haotian Taoism thought that Sangsang stayed in Chang 'an to receive the Academy's meticulous care and education. However, the truth was that Sangsang not only had to continue taking care of Ning Que's food and clothing, but also often had to cook for the lazy people in the Academy …
Ning Que could imagine that if the people in the West-Hill Divine Palace knew that the Great Divine Priest, who was incomparably noble in their hearts, was living such a life, they would definitely go crazy with anger.
Therefore, in the face of the red-robed divine priest's anger, he very rationally remained silent. However, he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he thought of the man crying in front of the black horse carriage and his subsequent behavior.
He looked at the old eyes of the red-robed divine priest and asked, "Which department are you from?"
The red-robed divine priest said calmly and proudly, "I am from the Divine Hall of Light."
Ning Que vaguely understood something and suddenly asked, "Do you know my relationship with her?"
The red-robed divine priest said with a complicated expression, "The Great Divine Priest and Mr. Thirteen are master and servant in name, but they are actually partners."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "Wrong."
The red-robed divine priest's expression turned slightly serious and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Que said, "We were engaged before we left Chang 'an, so we are husband and wife now."
"Congratulations."
Even though he said so, there was no joy on the red-robed divine priest's face. He looked extremely numb, and even disappointment and pain could be seen in his eyes.
There were stories of the Great Divine Priest of West-Hill marrying someone in the secular world in history, but that was extremely rare, especially for the Great Divine Priest of Light, who was regarded as the closest to Haotian. He had served Haotian wholeheartedly for hundreds of years, so how could he get married? And it was with someone outside of the West-Hill!
The future Great Divine Priest of Light of West-Hill had been tricked into becoming the wife of a shameless disciple of the Academy many years in advance. For the people of West-Hill, especially in the Divine Hall of Light, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to accept. However, the Great Divine Priest of Revelation had agreed to Ning Que's conditions in Chang 'an, so they could not object.
Ning Que could see the old man's disappointment, pain, and hatred towards him, so he was naturally not afraid. However, he still felt that it was a little troublesome when he thought about the future. He said, "Sangsang is my wife, and no one can change that. The Great Divine Priest of Revelation has agreed to marry me, which means that he has obtained Haotian's permission. In that case, you and your companions should think clearly. In the future, at least half of the Divine Hall of Light of West-Hill will be mine, so don't be hostile to me."
This was not a threat. He was very clear that no matter whether it was the old and cunning swindlers in the West-Hill Divine Palace or the passionate believers in Haotian Taoism, they would not bow down in the face of such a threat. He only said these words to remind the red-robed divine priest of something and tried to close the psychological distance between them.
However, he did not expect that after hearing these words, the red-robed divine priest did not sneer or get angry. Instead, he began to seriously think about it, and the disappointment and pain in his eyes gradually calmed down.
After a long time, the red-robed divine priest looked at Ning Que and said calmly, "I agree with you." The red-robed divine priest looked at Ning Que. In the future, there should be a seat for you in the Divine Hall of Light. If the Great Divine Priest is willing, he can even give you half of the Divine Hall of Light. What's the big deal? "
So it was Ning Que's turn to frown and think. After all, no matter what his relationship with Sangsang was, the West-Hill Divine Palace would not allow the Academy to openly extend their hands into Peach Mountain, let alone directly affecting the Divine Hall of Light. Then why would the red-robed divine priest make such an invitation?
He could not come to any conclusion. He looked at the red-robed divine priest and asked directly, "Why?"
"The Great Divine Priest is still the Lady of Light, young and pure. The West-Hill Divine Palace is the most complicated and dangerous place in the world. Even if she appears in Peach Mountain two years later, as the Great Divine Priest of Revelation said, she still might not be able to sit in the Divine Hall of Light … Fortunately or unfortunately, you are her husband. If the Academy is willing to support the Great Divine Priest through you, then I think her path to the throne will be smoother and more peaceful."
The red-robed divine priest lowered his head slightly and showed respect to Ning Que for the first time in the conversation.
Ning Que was silent. He suddenly realized that as Sangsang's status grew, the problems or challenges they faced seemed to become more and more troublesome and complicated.
However, these problems could only be faced in the future. Sangsang was still in a coma and was seriously ill. He had to consider her current health, not her future glory.
So he did not continue to discuss this problem. He asked, "When will Ye Hongyu arrive?"
The old red-robed divine priest had protested many times when Mr. Thirteen of the Academy insisted on calling the Great Divine Priest of Judgment by her name. However, his protests were always in an awkward position. Thinking of the relationship between Ning Que and the Great Divine Priest of Light, he was afraid that Ning Que had done even more disrespectful things. So he had to give up the dignity of Haotian Taoism in this aspect.
"If the Great Divine Priest of Judgment comes from the West-Hill, it will take at least ten days."
After Sangsang fell asleep again, Ning Que ate something and washed up. He recovered some energy and was no longer as tired and absent-minded as when he first arrived at the capital. His thoughts were very clear.
"She can't be in the West-Hill now. Because she should know how troublesome this matter is. Even if the entire Haotian Taoism could not guess Long Qing's appearance, she must have guessed it. So she is looking for him. From Dragon Tiger Mountain to the Martial Arts Sect, and then to the Red Lotus Temple yesterday, she should be on this route. "
Then he looked at the weak red-robed divine priest and said, "If so, why can't she do the same from the Red Lotus Temple if I can spend a day and a night to get here?"
The red-robed divine priest sighed softly and said, "The problem is, why did the Great Divine Priest come?"
Ning Que said, "Because she has a lot of questions to ask me."
After saying this, he walked into the depths of the white Taoist Temple. Sangsang was sleeping in one of the bedrooms.
He believed that Ye Hongyu would come as soon as she received the news that he was in the capital of the Kingdom of Qi. Just as he said to the red-robed divine priest, Ye Hongyu must have a lot of questions to ask him about Long Qing. If Ning Que was the person in the world who wanted Long Qing dead the most, then Ye Hongyu would undoubtedly be ranked second. Because the man in the black Taoist robe had been challenging her.
But Ning Que did not tell the red-robed divine priest why he wanted Ye Hongyu to come to see him.
Other than exchanging information about Prince Long Qing's resurrection, he had another more important reason.
The cold Qi in Sangsang's body was a very tricky problem. Even the pure Haotian Divine Light in her body could not suppress it. So he wanted to try other methods.
The old red-robed divine priest had used the Haotian Divine Light that he had cultivated for decades on Sangsang's treatment. That was why he became so weak and tired.
Because of this, the red-robed divine priest had gained Ning Que's trust.
But this was far from enough to cure Sangsang's illness.
Ning Que needed other people who cultivated the West-Hill Divine Skills.
Ye Hongyu was undoubtedly the best candidate.
At this time, Ning Que did not know that this person had become the West-Hill Great Divine Priest of Judgment. In his eyes, Ye Hongyu was the medicine that Sangsang needed the most.
