"The Wu Family is marrying off their daughter, but Wu Zhi seems to be the only one."
After her Primordial Spirit returned to her body, Wu Ming, who had been sitting cross-legged in the inn's room, stood up. He frowned slightly, "Now that things have come to this, it seems like this girl is at a disadvantage. I wonder if Sister Wu Qing has been implicated?"
"It seems like I have to go back immediately …"
He had to admit that his impression of Wu Zhi had changed after that night at the small building. However, it was not to the extent that he had fallen in love with Wu Zhi.
"Hmm? Towards Wu Zhi, I only have a little bit of admiration, but not much love! My heart is in turmoil. Firstly, I'm worried that she will implicate Sister Wu Qing. Secondly, it's because of my traditional male chauvinism … After all, she is very likely to be my fiancée. Even though I haven't admitted it, I'm a little unhappy that someone else has interfered before I give up … "
Cultivators were selfish. Even if Wu Qing was captured and used as a hostage, Wu Ming would probably leave immediately if he was no match for her. It would be more likely for him to come back and take revenge after he had mastered the Godly Technique, not to mention Wu Zhi.
"However, fate still holds us together … If it's within my capabilities, I still have to take care of it … Of course, if it's impossible, I'm not a hot-blooded warrior who would do something I know is impossible …"
"After all … I'm still that time traveler …"
A strange expression appeared on Wu Ming's face.
Yunping District, Wu Family's fortress.
"Stop … Eh? Young Master Ming! "
Zhao Song, who was leading the patrol team, was stunned when he saw Wu Ming walking over. He rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in joy, "Young Master Ming is back!"
He immediately went forward and bowed. "You've been gone for more than a month. Young Mistress was so anxious …"
"Hmm … I know!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and walked through the gate.
To be honest, after five or six years in the world of Fusang, this body had also changed from fifteen or sixteen years old to more than twenty years old. However, due to his achievement in Taoist technique, his physical appearance was forever fixed at eighteen years old. Compared to before, he was less immature and more mature. If one did not look closely, there would not be much difference.
"Greetings, Young Master Ming!"
When they arrived at the house, Steward Wu, Wu Tiehu, and several stewards and old women all stepped forward to salute. Li Xiuyun also stepped forward and bowed with a blushing face. There was a joyful expression on her face.
"Humph! You still know to come back? "
At the center of the hall, Wu Qing harrumphed coldly. She was dressed in a matriarch's robe, but her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"I was really held up by something … Big Sister should have received my Dao technique message, right?"
Wu Ming casually sat down and stretched lazily. "I've benefited a lot from being isolated from the world for more than a month!"
"It's good that you didn't die outside!"
Wu Qing was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She guessed that Wu Ming was going to complete a reincarnation mission, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She only felt slightly relieved after receiving the Dao Art Transmission.
"Eh?"
At this moment, he carefully sized up Wu Ming and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"You … You … You …"
In Wu Qing's eyes, Wu Ming's appearance had undergone a slight change. His height had grown, but that was not the most important thing. What was more important was the Daoist Rhyme that he carried with him. Every single one of his movements seemed to be completely natural, and his aura was deep and unfathomable. Wu Qing could not help but exclaim in astonishment, "Y-you've become a Zhenren?"
Once one became a Perfected Being, their lifespan would be 200 years! Most importantly, one's Primordial Spirit would be formed. After one's death, one could possess another's body or reincarnate. In the worst case scenario, one could still walk the path of Godhood. This was a great achievement and great fortune! Throughout the history of the Dao Academy, only one in a hundred could truly become a Perfected Being. She didn't expect that Wu Ming would become a Perfected Being.
"I'm just lucky!"
Wu Ming glanced at Wu Qing and saw that her Primordial Spirit was still red with a trace of white stubbornly refusing to disperse. Instantly, he knew that she was still stuck at the last step.
To break through the bottleneck, one either had to have great luck and fortune, or it had to be accumulated over a long period of time and hard work. One couldn't afford to be complacent.
However, Wu Ming himself had already stabilized his foundation in the past few years in Fu Sang. He had even started to break through to become a Celestial Master. When the conditions were right, success would follow.
"Becoming a Perfected Being isn't difficult, but it's not easy either. With Big Sister's Primordial Spirit, it's more than enough for her to break through the bottleneck. Is it because of the Wu Clan? "
At this point, Wu Ming's cultivation had already surpassed Wu Qing's. He immediately spoke in a guiding tone.
Wu Qing had great luck and outstanding talent. If she ignored the outside world and focused on her cultivation, it would be a piece of cake for her to break through the bottleneck. However, now, she was entangled by the external world's luck and tribulations.
'It's a pity … With my current authority, I still can't remove the Reincarnator's mark from Wu Qing's body!'
Under close observation, the abnormalities in Wu Qing's body could not be hidden from Wu Ming's eyes. Even the Reincarnator's aura on Wu Qing could be seen clearly under his authority as a Master Deity. Seeing this, Wu Ming could only sigh in his heart.
"Rumor has it that the Wu family intends to marry Wu Zhi to Marquis Ding's son. Big Sister, you helped Wu Zhi previously, so your luck is entangled. Her Primordial Spirit's decline immediately affected your Primordial Spirit?"
Wu Ming shook his head. This was the 'tribulations' of cultivators. It was mysterious and mysterious, but he had seen through it.
"That's right!"
Wu Qing nodded. Her beautiful eyes kept scanning Wu Ming. "Perfected Being's insight is indeed impressive. But how did you know about the Wu family?"
"I just happened to hear about it … I wonder how Wu Zhi plans to deal with it?"
The style of Dazhou was similar to that of the ancient times in his previous life. A woman's marriage depended on her parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker. Her own will did not count for much.
This was especially so in the aristocratic families. The patriarch usually had the power to decide the life and death of a family.
"Although the incident last time had deterred Sister Wu Zhi's big brother and second brother, it had also raised the alarm of the Wu family's patriarch. I think Sister Wu is going to have a hard time …"
Wu Qing sighed, and a hint of worry could be seen on her face. Wu Ming sighed inwardly when he saw this.
He knew that the two women were born with the character of a phoenix, and their Qi was entangled. Coupled with the incident that happened the day after tomorrow, the entanglement of karma had caused Wu Qing to be completely immersed in it.
If he let Wu Zhi go, Wu Qing might not be able to become a Perfected Being for the rest of her life!
"At the end of the day, this has something to do with me. If Wu Qing did not want to find a way out for her foppish brother, she would not have cooperated with Wu Zhi and changed her fate. She would not have fallen deeper and deeper …"
As a Perfected Being, he had a clear understanding of karma and fate. In an instant, Wu Ming had grasped everything.
"To solve this problem, the worst plan is to ignore it and do nothing. I'll just sit back and watch Wu Zhi succeed. The second plan is for me to cut off the entanglement of karma and slowly find a way to repair Wu Qing's foundation. The best plan is to go back to the source and fulfill Wu Qing's promise. This way, Wu Qing's thoughts will be clear, and she might even make great progress in her cultivation and break through the bottleneck … "
Wu Ming sighed in his heart. How difficult was it to change one's fate? If he had not taken action this time, Wu Qing and Wu Zhi would have been in a dead end!
"Is Wu Zhi going to use military force to remonstrate?"
Wu Qing quivered. She waved her hand, and a layer of Taoist magic immediately sealed off the surroundings. Her expression also became solemn. "Yes! This woman is going to mobilize people to force her father to abdicate and hand over the power of the family to her. She is even going to call herself the military governor of the Nanfeng army and establish her own military town! "
"Really …"
Wu Ming sighed. "How ambitious she is … However, if she doesn't have the right time, she will eventually bring about her own destruction!"
There were seven counties in Dingzhou. Once the chaotic times came, two military towns rose up. Marquis Ding ruled Dingyuan County, which was one of them. There was also a military governor, Qi Lin, who ruled Pingshan County, which was the second.
Both of them had a name and a reality. They paid their own taxes and appointed their own subordinates. They were truly local tyrants.
Now, there were two more Chu Feng and Nanfeng County.
However, the Wu family of Nanfeng County had taken over the governor, and the Li family of Chu Feng County still had to rely on the righteousness of the imperial court. Both of them wore a layer of skin. At least on the surface, their officials still had to be appointed by the imperial court and the province.
Now that Wu Zhi had done this, he was going to 'rectify' his status.
"Good heavens! This woman is very ambitious. I'm afraid this rectification is only the first step. The second step is to take down Chu Feng County. Like this, she will rule two counties in a row and her reputation will greatly increase. Only then will she be able to suppress the voices of opposition … However, this method is very risky. If it succeeds, it will be smooth sailing. If it fails, it will be beyond redemption … "
Wu Ming could faintly see this woman's ambition for Dingzhou and couldn't help but sigh to himself.
If it was a man with such strategy and courage, he would certainly be an ambitious and ruthless hero in troubled times. Unfortunately, he was a woman …
"That's right … this method is too risky. I've also advised Sister Wu Zhi to do the same, but she insists on doing it her own way!"
Wu Qing said, "Although she has participated in important matters in Nanfeng County before, it's different from stepping on the stage. Furthermore, this is the matter of the battle for the dragon."
Although the Qi of the phoenix disposition is very expensive, it can only be used to help one's husband. It can't be used for personal use!
This time, Wu Zhi's method was like walking on a tightrope, crossing mountains of knives and seas of fire. It was even more dangerous than this.
"When does Wu Zhi plan to act?"
"In seven days!"
"If I don't come, I'm afraid Sister Wu Qing is prepared to forcibly change his fate, right?"
Wu Ming glanced at Wu Qing. He knew that this woman was tough on the outside but tougher on the inside. Her personality was exactly the same as Wu Zhi's.
As expected, Wu Qing's pretty face was pink. She was a little angry from being seen through.
"Forget it … wait for three days. Wait for my Primordial Spirit to meditate and calculate the secrets of heaven!"
Wu Ming closed his eyes and meditated for a while. He then looked at Wu Qing's fate. He saw that the Qi of Calamity outside was very heavy, suppressing both internal and external fate. It felt like she was in a precarious situation.
Fearing that this woman would act recklessly, he warned her carefully, "Defying the heavens and changing fate concerns the fate of both our families. Sister, don't act recklessly. Otherwise, if you fail, I'll be implicated as well!"
"Hmph! Do you think I'll be so reckless? "
Wu Qing snorted coldly and turned around. Her jade-like hands clenched tightly as she thought to herself, 'Zhenren! If I become a Zhenren sooner, I won't need my brother's help! Wu Qing, Wu Qing, didn't you swear to protect your brother? How can you be so useless now? '
This was a serious matter. Wu Ming couldn't care less about Wu Qing's thoughts. He entered the secret chamber and began to calculate the secrets of heaven.
