Ch 515: Sect Tradition

The telephone call suddenly fell silent, leaving only shallow breaths.

After a while, Zhuge Liuguang asked, “Xiao Shu, do you know something?”

Now that Jiang Nanyu didn’t have anything to hide anymore, she said directly, “I was idle before, and I cast a divination for Zhuge Jingyu. His fate chart showed ‘death.’ Later, I accidentally saw your deceased granddaughter, Zhuge Wanwan. She told me some things, including Zhuge Jingyu’s fate…”

Zhuge Liuguang narrowed his eyes slightly: “What fate?”

“Zhuge Jingyu was able to survive, actually because Wanwan exchanged her life to save him, right?”

Zhuge Liuguang didn’t speak.

“And Wanwan is the host of one of the Six Ancient Divine Lotuses, Grandmother is too…” Jiang Nanyu paused for a moment, “Old Master, so am I.”

A sound of something falling and breaking came from the telephone.

This was the first time Jiang Nanyu mentioned her secret in front of Zhuge Liuguang.

Jiang Nanyu played with the tree leaves on the ground, calmly saying, “I’ve got definite news. The last Divine Lotus Diagram is in the Netherworld Barrier. When the Divine Lotus appears, it will encounter the Calamity of the Red Horse and Red Sheep. You know what that means. If I can’t find the Divine Lotus Diagram hidden in the Netherworld Barrier, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

“Destiny, destiny…”

At this moment, Zhuge Liuguang’s voice showed a bit of vicissitudes and bitterness.

After a long time, Zhuge Liuguang spoke: “The complete version of the Qiaolian Divine Numbers is not in the Capital City. You should leave now and go to…”

He gave an address.

After hanging up the telephone, Jiang Nanyu thought for a moment and tried calling the Old Taoist.

She originally thought it would be unreachable again, but unexpectedly, after a few rings, the telephone actually connected.

“Master?” Jiang Nanyu called uncertainly.

A crackling electric current sound came from the other end of the telephone. Jiang Nanyu said “hello” for a long time before finally hearing a broken voice: “Good disciple, missed your Master?”

“Where have you been enjoying yourself?” Jiang Nanyu heard the familiar voice and laughed, teasingly asking.

“I can’t tell you that,” Chang Yinzi said, “Speak quickly, Master is busy.”

“Old Taoist Priest, I miss you,” Jiang Nanyu softly said, “I know the whereabouts of the last Divine Lotus Diagram…”

On the other end of the telephone, Chang Yinzi’s voice paused, then he sighed softly:

“You still discovered the secret hidden under the coffin.”

Jiang Nanyu wasn’t surprised that Chang Yinzi knew about this. During his years in the Capital City, he worked as a Security Guard at the Cemetery. There must have been something at the Cemetery that attracted him. Now he has arranged for an Old Taoist Priest of unknown strength to continue to be in charge, showing that he had long anticipated her discovering the secret.

She recounted how she discovered the map.

After listening, the Old Taoist said angrily, “This girl, you wasted learning my skills. Such a good opportunity, you didn’t properly ‘extort’ the Underworld, you fool! At least make them send you to the entrance of the Netherworld Barrier!”

Jiang Nanyu was stunned: “Isn’t that bad?”

“What’s bad about it!” The Old Taoist snorted, “Your identity is no longer a secret in the Underworld. They fear you now. The Karmic Flame Lotus within you is a get-out-of-jail-free card. And it’s not an excessive request; act like a spoiled brat, and they’ll have to agree.”

“…”

It’s truly the tradition of her Sect.

“Can I act like a spoiled brat now?”

“Try it?”

The Master and Disciple chuckled. The Old Taoist then warned, “Now that Old Man Zhuge knows about your Crimson Lotus Dharma Body, any remaining suspicion he had about you will disappear. I roughly know that place, and I have some time these days. I’ll keep an eye on you to prevent you from being deceived due to your naivety.”

Jiang Nanyu was delighted: “Really? Don’t trick me again!”

“When Master promises something…”

“You’ve promised me many things. Don’t brag,” Jiang Nanyu said angrily, “I’m short on time, you must hurry. This might be our last meeting.”

“Pah pah pah, Crow’s mouth!” The Old Taoist scolded with a laugh, “Alright, pack up and leave immediately.”

“One more thing…”

“You want to ask about the disappearance of those Sect disciples?”

Jiang Nanyu raised her eyebrows: “You know?”

“This is complicated. Currently, they are not in danger, but the future is uncertain.” The Old Taoist’s voice became intermittent, “Alright… hanging up…”

Jiang Nanyu stared at her mobile phone for a long time before reluctantly putting it away.

The Little Mountain Spirit had already run to Jiang Nanyu, trying to climb onto her.

Jiang Nanyu picked it up, watching it struggle in mid-air with its short legs: “Alright, I have to go. You should guard Changqing Monastery and the Villagers below. I’ll bring you something fun when I return.”

“I want to go to the Capital City and play at the Zhuge Clan’s house.” The Little Mountain Spirit still remembered the Treasures at the Zhuge Clan’s house. It liked to absorb the aura of time from them.

“I’m going to a place with many, many Treasures. I’ll find you a better body when I return!” Jiang Nanyu promised generously.

Provided she could return.
