The Taoist priests of Wanyuan Mountain were very respected in this world.
Even the Empress treated them with respect.
The reason?
No idea …
It was a rule that had been passed down for a long time. However, the population of Wanyuan Mountain had withered, so they were not as popular as before. Even so, they were still very popular among the royal family.
Jiang Zhi went to invite the Taoist priest but offended him instead. How could the Empress not be angry?
The people the Empress sent were all rejected mercilessly. In the end, it was Shi Sheng's turn to go.
Shi Sheng wanted to pretend to be sick and not go, but the Empress was very foresighted. She even prepared his outfit. When she announced the decree, many people came to watch.
Shi Sheng gritted his teeth and got into the carriage.
She could be stubborn and not go, but the Jun family would be cursed to death by these people's spittle.
The original owner's last wish was for the Jun family to be well.
If she did not go, the Jun family would not be at peace.
No matter where it was, people in power loved to play with the word 'public opinion'.
Wanyuan Mountain was not far from the capital. In order to show her appreciation for the Taoist priests of Wanyuan Mountain, the Empress put in a lot of effort.
Shi Sheng propped up her chin as she watched the scenery outside slowly recede.
There was no spiritual energy in this world. The Taoist priests of Wanyuan Mountain were probably just chanting scriptures and meditating.
When they arrived at Wanyuan Mountain, it was already late. Looking at the stairs that were comparable to climbing to heaven, Shi Sheng looked at Er Yue unhappily.
His face was full of dissatisfaction. 'You want me to climb up with my legs? Are you kidding me?'
"Sir, please bear with it." Ying Yue comforted him. "Isn't this a task given by the Empress? Besides, climbing the mountain is healthy for both physical and mental health … "
Dai Yue nodded. "Yes, sir. You have to walk for a while. It'll be easier to report back."
Shi Sheng was still unhappy. 'It's so high. I'll die if I climb up.'
"Wait for me here. I'll go up alone."
Ying Yue immediately objected. "How can you do that? Although this is Wanyuan Mountain, your safety comes first."
The Taoist priests of Wanyuan Mountain did not like crowds, so they planned to only bring a few people to accompany the Empress. The rest of the team would rest at the foot of the mountain.
How could he suddenly hear Shi Sheng going up by herself?
Er Yue refused to let Shi go up alone...
Shi Sheng: "…"
This Baobao wants to use the Iron Sword to fly up, what are you guys doing?
"That's an order," Shi Sheng said with a straight face. "Don't follow me, or I'll go back now."
Yue Er: "…" Why is Master's temper worse than before?
Shi Sheng ran up the stairs and disappeared into the night.
When the people behind him couldn't see him anymore, he took out his Iron Sword and flew up.
The Daoist temple on the mountain was quite big, but there were only two places with light.
One was on a higher cliff, and the other was in a courtyard.
Shi Sheng frowned as he landed in the courtyard.
Why is this Taoist temple so quiet? He didn't seem to be human at all …
"Creak —"
The door of the room on the left was suddenly opened. Light poured out from the room and shrouded the Shi Sheng, leaving a long shadow.
"Ah!" A short cry came from the other side.
Standing at the door was a young man of about eleven or twelve years of age. He was fair and tender and wore a green Daoist robe.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" The young man adjusted his crooked hat and peered outside. "Are you from the imperial court?"
Many people from the imperial court had come these days, so the young man couldn't help but guess.
"Yes, call out the person in charge here." The other party was a young man, so Shi Sheng didn't show his ferocious look.
"Senior Brother is resting." The young man kept holding his Daoist hat. "Come back tomorrow."
Shi Sheng: "…" She climbed up the mountain in the middle of the night, and this guy actually asked her to come back tomorrow? What a joke!
This Baobao's time is very precious, okay?
The young man saw that the woman who was quite calm just now had suddenly become ferocious and was striding toward him. Her aura scared him so much that he stepped back.
"What … what do you want? This is Mount Wanyuan … I'm a disciple of Mount Wanyuan, you can't do anything to me. "
"Pa!" Shi Sheng slapped the door. "Take me to see your Senior Brother, right now."
The young man had probably never met such a rude and unreasonable woman before. He was so scared that he trembled, and his little face turned even paler.
"Senior … Senior Brother isn't seeing guests at night."
Although he was so scared that he almost peed his pants, the young man still gritted his teeth and answered.
Shi Sheng's eyes curved. "Is that so?"
The young man felt his butthole tighten. "What … What do you want …"
Shi Sheng stepped into the room and grabbed the young man's neck. "Do you want to die, or take me there?"
The young man was almost crying as he led Shi Sheng to the cliff where she had seen the light earlier.
It was a loft built on the cliff, and there was no road in the middle.
"How do we get there?" Shi Sheng looked at the young man who was shaking like a sieve.
"Fly over," the young man replied softly.
Fly?
There was no spiritual energy in this world, so how did this Senior Brother of the young man fly over?
Did he grow wings?
Bird man!
[Hidden Mission: Yuzi Chengshuo]
Shi Sheng stared blankly at the nearby light.
The hidden mission was actually here??
A Daoist priest!!
Yuzi Chengshuo …
Why didn't you just say 'die together'?
System, are you f * cking kidding me?
[… Mission Objective: Ling Yue, take him as your Lord.]
Very well, another name I've never heard of.
Shi Sheng took a deep breath. Once I get back, I'm going to hack that space apart.
She took out her Iron Sword and, under the young man's horrified gaze, sat on the Iron Sword and flew over.
There were three floors to the loft, and at the bottom was a square platform.
The light came from the top of the loft.
As soon as she landed, she saw a person push open the door to the loft, holding an oil lamp in his hand.
He wore the same Daoist robes as the young man, and his black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin and tied with a white headband.
He stood there quietly, his slender brows slightly furrowed as he looked at Shi Sheng with his clear eyes.
The flickering light outlined his perfect facial features, and he exuded an ethereal aura, as if he were a transcendent expert.
If such a person were in the capital, who knew how many girls would go crazy over him?
"You've trespassed on Mt. Wanyuan. Please return, Your Excellency," the expert said.
His voice was as clear as a mountain spring, the kind that could make one's ears pregnant.
Shi Sheng: "…" Return my ass.
Shi Sheng examined him for a bit before suddenly taking large strides towards him.
This guy is most likely that little demon, Feng Ci.
Unfortunately, I can't confirm it without spiritual energy.
Regardless, I'll kidnap him first and think of a way to confirm it later.
Ling Yue took a step back, his eyes filled with wariness and displeasure.
Just as Shi Sheng was about to reach him, he pulled out a flexible sword from somewhere and attacked Shi Sheng.
Whoa!
He actually dares to attack I?!
Shi Sheng still hadn't retrieved his Iron Sword, and given her aggressive demeanor, it was only natural that Ling Yue would attack.
