These two Daoist nuns were Huai Ren and Huai Shu. After South Stream Temple's internal strife, they once more left to wander the world. According to their original agreement, they would only return to Holy Maiden Peak after ten years at the grand ceremony of the stars. Who could have expected that they would quietly come to the capital and even take up residence in the Prince of Louyang's old estate?
Huai Ren calmly replied, "Temple Master's words are too serious. This was originally a trip to atone for our crimes."
Huai Shu recalled the bloody light in South Stream Temple and found it hard to suppress her anger. "Shang Xingzhou used Huai Bi to stir up a storm, so how could we do as he wished?"
Huai Ren calmly replied, "If not for the fact that our Dao hearts were not calm, how could we have been used by him?"
Hearing her Senior Sister's words, Huai Shu restrained her anger and looked at Xu You Rong. She nodded with admiration and admiration and said nothing else.
Today, several hundred disciples of South Stream Temple had entered the capital and caused a massive stir. It had never experienced such splendor, so an elder like Huai Shu naturally felt extremely gratified.
In the past, if South Stream Temple had put on such a show of force, the Li Palace would have acted before the Great Zhou Imperial Court had said anything.
Fortunately, the Li Palace was currently in a standoff with the Great Zhou Imperial Court, making the importance of the southern sects even more prominent, allowing South Stream Temple to find this opportunity.
Of course, to create this situation and seize this opportunity was an extremely difficult task.
Xu Yourong was still very young and had not entered the Divine Domain, so she could not be like the previous Holy Maiden, who could intimidate the Great Zhou Imperial Court. But she had the closest relationship with the Li Palace of all the Holy Maidens, and the decisiveness and decisiveness she had displayed in this matter inspired even more reverence.
There was a fake mountain by the back gate of the princely estate, and within it were several verdant plants.
A cold wind blew, causing a thin layer of frost to form on the leaves of these plants.
"There's nothing wrong with the Xue clan. Should I go tell Chen Changsheng?"
A black-clothed girl appeared and said to Xu Yourong.
Huai Shu sensed the rapidly dropping temperature in the princely estate and quickly guessed at this black-clothed girl's identity. Her expression flickered and she subconsciously took a step back.
In these last few years, she had traveled the world with her senior sister and seen many strange people. Logically speaking, an expert half a step from the Divine should not have been enough to make her feel fear.
However, Black Frost Dragons were the highest level of divine beings, and had an innate suppressive effect on the souls of human experts.
The Black Dragon was used to this sort of reaction and did not think much of it. On the contrary, the other Daoist nun had aroused her interest.
Huai Ren's expression was very calm. She was not moved by her appearance, as if she did not know where she came from.
The little Black Dragon examined her and said, "You're very strong."
There weren't many people on this continent who could make her feel powerful.
In the internal strife of South Stream Temple, Huai Bi had erupted and used the Divine Finger of the Worldstream to seal Huai Ren's most important Qi openings. Under such a passive situation, Huai Ren was still able to easily counterattack. At that time, Chen Changsheng felt that this Daoist nun's strength was somewhat unfathomable.
The little Black Dragon turned to Xu Yourong, somewhat shocked and confused.
Just what was she planning to do by having such an expert remain in the Prince of Louyang's old estate?
Xu Yourong looked at one of the princely residences not far away and did not speak.
The Prince's Mansion was blocked by high walls, so it was impossible to see the magnificent buildings inside. All one could see were the eaves that reached into the clouds.
There were beasts coiled on the eaves. They were covered in golden scales and looked like dragons.
…
… …
The Prince of Xiang's face began to twitch as he gazed at those dragon beasts flashing with golden light in the sunlight, his fat rippling.
After some time, he drew back his gaze. Propping up the fat on his belt, he sighed, "This matter has gotten big."
Prince Chen Liu bitterly smiled. "I didn't think that Yourong would still act as simply and crudely as she did when she was young."
The Prince of Xiang looked into Prince Chen Liu's eyes and slowly and seriously said, "Your father has served the venerable Daoist for many years. As long as I do not act rashly, I can assuredly maintain my current glory and wealth. Let me ask you again: do you still insist that we should take another step forward?"
He was currently the most powerful and most respected prince in the Great Zhou Imperial Court. At the same time, he was also an expert of the Divine Domain. If he took another step forward, just how far could he go?
"If we do not take this step, will the Great Zhou Dynasty be the world of the Chen clan, or will it be the world of Xining?"
Prince Chen Liu calmly replied, "This is what I care about the most."
The Prince of Xiang's fingers sank into the fat on his abdomen. He incessantly sighed, saying nothing more.
… …
… …
Prince Chen Liu had just gotten married, but he could not place his thoughts on his beautiful wife, because Xu Yourong had caused too much of a ruckus.
Correspondingly, his beautiful wife also had no thoughts on him. She even left the estate and returned to the Tianhai clan.
Tianhai Shengxue stood in front of the estate's gate, looking at Ping Guo, who had already changed into a married woman but still had a pampered expression. He advised, "Although Brother-in-law has an indifferent personality and deep thoughts, his personality isn't bad, and he has always paid attention to his reputation. He will not treat you badly, but you also have to be careful. How can you always run back home after getting married?"
"I came back to discuss proper business, not to play those boring games of jealousy."
Ping Guo walked into the estate and sneered, "If you don't quickly respond, are you just going to watch that woman enjoy her glory?"
Tianhai Shengxue knew that Ping Guo had held a deep grudge against Xu Yourong ever since she was a child, but he had not expected that three years after the Divine Empress's death and Ping Guo was no longer that princess with only title, this grudge still had not subsided. In fact, with the passage of time, it had only deepened.
She had naturally returned to the estate today to represent the Prince of Xiang's estate in discussing with her father how to deal with today's situation. Tianhai Shengxue found it very uninteresting and did not want to participate in these matters. He took the reins from a servant and led his mount away. But he did not go very far before a tall and thin elder appeared at his side.
This tall and thin elder seemed ordinary, but his identity was far from ordinary. He was the Divine General with the most seniority, Fei Dian.
Tianhai Shengxue said, "Although I have received no small amount of instruction in these last few years, Sir has truly wasted your time by following at my side."
Fei Dian replied, "Since the Divine Empress sent me to your side, it proves that you are worth it."
Back then, Tianhai Shengxue had been the youth with the most potential in the Tianhai clan. The Divine Empress had probably placed high hopes on him by sending Fei Dian to his side.
But now that the Divine Empress was dead, Fei Dian had no intention of leaving.
"Uncle Fei, do you think it's more interesting to stay in the capital or to go to the front lines?"
Tianhai Shengxue did not wait for an answer. He shook his head and said, "Of course it's more interesting to fight the demons on the snowy plains."
Fei Dian expressionlessly looked forward and said, "But I'm still alive."
Tianhai Shengxue glanced at him with a slightly surprised expression.
"General Han Qing is dead, Xue Xingchuan is dead, Tian Chui is dead, and many people are dead. I hear that Jin Yulu's days in White Emperor City are also not very good."
Fei Dian continued, "I can still live and drink a little wine every day precisely because I think less and do less."
Tianhai Shengxue knew that these words were a warning to him.
It was very difficult for him to hide his thoughts from Fei Dian.
But when faced with the current situation in the capital, who could not think?
He raised his head to the clear blue sky and said, "The storm is coming, and one must find a roof tile to cover one's head."
