The tall man who walked out of the old nunnery was Lo Huainan.
He was the first disciple of the Zhongzhou School's Headmaster, the undisputed strongest cultivator of the younger generation. He had many other titles, but none of them were as famous as his name itself.
Looking at Zhao Layue's distinct black and white eyes, and thinking of the cold light from before, Lo Huainan felt a little awestruck.
Of course he knew who Zhao Layue was.
She was so young and had such a high state. She would be the most outstanding person in any sect in the world.
But in his opinion, she was still too young and her state was still shallow. It would take a long time before she could become a real opponent.
He did not expect Zhao Layue's sword heart to be so sharp.
She was indeed of natural Taoist quality. But how could she be just that?
It seemed that the rumors were true. Nanshan was right. She had practiced that extremely dangerous method to the extreme.
Could she really cultivate an acquired sword body by using the Tempered Body of Sword Will?
Zhao Layue took a step forward.
Lo Huainan looked at her in Silence, waiting for her to speak.
Obviously, he was much more cautious. This was also a sign of respect.
At this moment, Jing Jiu raised his left hand.
Zhao Layue understood what he meant. She did not speak and retreated to his side.
Just like when they were in the small village and at the South Pine Pavilion, Liu Shisui knew Jing Jiu's meaning with a gesture or even a look.
Now Zhao Layue could do it too.
Lo Huainan was a little surprised.
There were very few things in the world that could surprise him.
Because he was very surprised.
Whether in the Aoyama Sword Sect or in the world, Zhao Layue's reputation was extremely well-known.
Jing Jiu was more like a follower. If it were not for his extremely beautiful face and the occasional sharp edge, he would probably be even more low-key and unknown.
But this scene showed that the Shenmo Peak was led by Jing Jiu!
Why was that?
Lo Huainan suddenly thought of another rumor.
In this year's Sword Trial of Aoyama, before Jing Jiu broke Guo Nanshan's flying sword, he defeated Gu Han of Liangwang Peak with a trick.
It was said that at the most critical moment, Jing Jiu used some kind of Dao technique and brought along several sword shadows to traverse a distance of over a hundred feet in the air.
A few elders of Aoyama Sect suspected that it was the Innate Invisible Sword Body!
The Sword Sect of Aoyama wanted to hide this news, but with so many eyes and ears watching and listening, how could they hide it? In the end, the news spread out of the mountain.
When Lo Huainan heard this rumor, she did not believe it at all.
But when he saw this scene, he suddenly had an unimaginable thought.
Could it be that the rumor was true, and it wasn't fake news that the Aoyama Sword Sect purposely released to disturb the thoughts of other sects?
If it was true, with a Innate Invisible Sword Body and an Acquired Sword Body, what would the Shenmo Peak of Aoyama look like in the future?
Jing Jiu did not let Zhao Layue speak. He did not speak either, because this was their own business, and there was no need to tell others.
Lo Huainan took a deep look at him and did not say anything. She cupped her hands and bowed to the crowd again, and left on her own.
There was one detail.
From the beginning to the end, he did not speak to the young man in embroidered clothes. He did not even look at him.
The scene became quiet again.
Lo Huainan had left, and there should be two places left for today. But there were still five people outside the nunnery.
Zhao Layue glanced at Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu shook his head.
The young man in embroidered clothes said in a mocking tone, "Even the reckless Lo Huainan doesn't dare take another step forward. It looks like the rumored Jing Jiu has many secrets. Are you worried that the Heavenly Master will discover them?"
Jing Jiu ignored him, and asked Zhao Layue, "Worried?"
Zhao Layue said, "I'm not sure."
If the master in the nunnery was as rumored to be able to forestall one's future, predict one's life and death, and reach the path of heaven, who would want to miss this opportunity?
Yet, she had many secrets in her heart, and she did not want that master to discover them.
Jing Jiu asked, "What secrets?"
Zhao Layue said, "The ones you know."
The question and the answer were very natural.
But the others could sense many other meanings in the conversation.
For example, absolute trust and intimacy.
Royal Concubine Hu rolled her eyes, saying nothing.
"Are you trying to say that they are a pair of lovers?"
Sensei said with a smile.
Royal Concubine Hu covered her mouth with her sleeve and said with an enchanting smile, "You said it. Don't blame it on me."
Seeing her natural flirtatious behavior, the young man in embroidered clothes frowned slightly, not disguising his disgust.
It was then that a child walked out of the old nunnery.
He walked to the front of the young man in embroidered clothes and bowed to him, saying, "The teacher said that it's related to the destiny of heaven, so he can't see it. Young Master, please go back."
The young man in embroidered clothes felt a bit disappointed, and then he seemed to have thought of something, lost in thought.
The sunlight of spring penetrated the branches of the plum forest and shone on his face. The large patches of sunlight didn't make his face look strange, but instead made it look more radiant.
Under the sunlight, the contours of his face became clearer, just like what he saw in the future, making the corners of his mouth curl up.
With a satisfied smile, the young man in embroidered clothes left the plum forest, heading in the opposite direction of Lo Huainan.
Royal Concubine Hu didn't understand what the young man in embroidered clothes meant. She mocked him in a low voice while looking at the back of the young man in embroidered clothes.
Sensei said sympathetically, "He understood the meaning of the sentence, so he smiled."
Royal Concubine Hu was taken aback, asking, "What do you mean? Didn't the Heavenly Master say that he wouldn't let him see it? "
"The Heavenly Master said that it's related to the destiny of heaven …"
Sensei emphasized the last two words.
Royal Concubine Hu had finally figured it out, her expression changing abruptly. She of course knew what the young man in embroidered clothes wanted to ask, which was the destiny of heaven …
Sensei comforted her while looking at her, "In that case, you don't have to ask anymore. Even if you can have a son, he can't be the crown prince. On the contrary, he will have to live in fear. Why bother?"
Royal Concubine Hu's body swayed slightly, her face pale, unable to speak.
Unexpectedly, the child walked to the front of Royal Concubine Hu, bowed to her, and said the same thing.
"The teacher said that it's related to the destiny of heaven, so he can't see it. Please go back, Your Highness."
Royal Concubine Hu was taken aback. A moment later, an ecstatic expression showed on her face. She thanked him repeatedly, and left the plum forest without staying any longer.
Jing Jiu thought that the temperament of the Emperor hadn't changed much since this woman had lived in the palace for so long, and was still as benevolent as before. But why didn't the Emperor teach his son well?
The expression on Zhao Layue's face was grave, and so was the expression on the face of the woman of the Platanus Sect.
The behavior of the young man in embroidered clothes and Royal Concubine Hu was no different from that of the commoners in Zhaoge City. Their conversation was like the hostile gossip between the neighbors.
Yet, outside the plum garden, they were the important figures who could influence the whole imperial court.
What had happened here that day and what the child had said would probably be the future of the human imperial court.
