Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 844 - 361: "What’s the Difference Between Aunt and Nanzhi?" (Part 3)

As he spoke, Lu Jin'an's expression involuntarily softened a bit.

Nanzhi's humming, like a little kitten, was particularly endearing.

"Is that so..." Xiao Yinruo mused and then asked, "What else?"

"Let me think..." Lu Jin'an pondered, "You know the little stream behind the bamboo building, right?"

"I do, what's about it?"

"It's like Nanzhi." Lu Jin'an smiled, "Nurturing in silence."

Xiao Yinruo looked at him with a smile, "You do have a knack for coming up with these ideas."

"Just being truthful."

"And what about me?"

Lu Jin'an thought for a moment and said, "Like the upstream of the stream."

"Have you been a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect?"

"Aunt Ruo, you're wronging me now." Lu Jin'an immediately countered, "I happen to know a little, that's all, learned from Qiu Qingtang."

"Let's just say that's the case, but stop talking about it—it's rather embarrassing." Xiao Yinruo clasped her legs together, her embroidered shoes lightly tapping the floor tiles, "Aunt needs to go to Dingbei Pass for a while."

"Hmm?"

"Look at Aunt now, it doesn't look like I did nothing." Xiao Yinruo touched her cheek, "It's too obvious, Nanzhi will surely be suspicious."

"Aren't you afraid others in the Palace will notice?"

"Just wear a veil." Xiao Yinruo smiled slightly, "Aunt doesn't want others to find out."

"Hmm." Lu Jin'an nodded, "Anyway, you've had enough."

Xiao Yinruo gave him an angry look, "Don't say that."

"Alright, I really won't speak of it anymore." Lu Jin'an took up the Jade Scroll on the table again, "Look at this, it's the intel sent over by the Wandao Sect."

Xiao Yinruo reached out to take it, glanced at it, and then put it back, "Are you planning to head directly to the Three Great Dynasties?"

"Yes." Lu Jin'an nodded, "The Gate of Descending in the Chang'an Domain has been opened, and there's nothing pressing at the Two Realms Pass for now, so I'm heading over to take care of matters and aim to stabilize our rear."

"Can you manage by yourself?"

"The main concern is those so-called beliefs." Lu Jin'an handed Xiao Yinruo a personal letter from his Master, "Master mentioned that each of the Three Great Dynasties has a unique Barrier. Especially the Eastern Dynasty's Barrier, where it's difficult to harness Spiritual Power once inside.

But with my current Physique, even encountering an Immortal within wouldn't be a concern."

"As for the Lin Yuan Sword Sect and other sects..." Lu Jin'an gently caressed Xiao Yinruo's waist, "With the Upper Realm's Gate of Descending open in the Chang'an Domain, the Sect Master will try to gather the prominent figures there to discuss with the Upper Realm, creating a time gap for me to aim for a swift resolution."

Xiao Yinruo nodded slightly, "But to enter there, you need six passports from the Five Sects and Seven Schools, are you prepared?"

"Wandao Sect, Tianyan Pavilion, Sect Master Qi, Ancient Spirit Sect, Hengshui Immortal Institute, and with you, that's enough."

Lu Jin'an exhaled a warm breath, "The passports signed by Wandao Sect, Tianyan Pavilion, and Sect Master Qi have all been sent over by Master. Now only Ancient Spirit Sect and Hengshui Immortal Institute are left."

"Are these two reliable?"

"There's no issue with the Sect Master of the Ancient Spirit Sect and the Dean of Hengshui Immortal Institute for now, moreover..." Lu Jin'an smiled slightly, "The Sect Master will keep an eye on them."

Xiao Yinruo acknowledged with a nod, then said, "The Demon Lord Zhu Tianqi proactively halted hostilities and had Sect Master Zheng unseal a Path of Descent, which suggests the Upper Realm's goal might indeed be the Three Great Dynasties?"

"It should be." Lu Jin'an nodded, "The Sect Master of the Wuji Demon Sect was killed by me, and quite a few Possessors were captured as well, leaving the Upper Realm to seek alternative approaches."

"Speaking of which," Xiao Yinruo adjusted her expression, narrating the conversation with the Ling Queen to Lu Jin'an.

"Cloud Sky Mountain, Shenmiao..." Lu Jin'an contemplated, "It might indeed relate to the Shenmiao Dynasty."

"Will you go there?"

"No." Lu Jin'an shook his head, "Visiting the Eastern Dynasty alone suffices."

The image of Dongfang Xinglan surfaced in his mind; back then, Master set a protection Prohibition on her soul, and this letter affirmed that it indeed safeguarded Dongfang Xinglan, so collaborating with her would be for the best.

Otherwise, he'd be stumbling in the dark, unable to accomplish anything.

"Hmm." Xiao Yinruo gently caressed his cheek, "Qingmiao Domain is close to the Eastern Great Realm, Aunt will keep an eye on it."

"Thank you for your attention. Speaking of which, Aunt Ruo, you might as well investigate if there's anyone collaborating with the Upper Realm to block news about the Three Great Dynasties in Qingmiao Palace."

Xiao Yinruo caressed the back of his head, "I'll look into it."

She absolutely won't allow any potential threats to Jin'an to exist within her governance of Qingmiao Palace!

"When do you plan to set out?"

"I'll wait for Nanzhi to wake up first, then..." Lu Jin'an straightened up, smiling, "Let's see how many talented ones from the Upper Realm leave the Chang'an Domain!"

Xiao Yinruo chuckled, "They might be assassinated one by one as soon as they step out of Chang'an Domain."

"Haha, the Upper Realm surely wouldn't be unprepared." Lu Jin'an commented leisurely, "Otherwise, they'd really be looked down upon.

Just like the saying goes, once a God bleeds, people no longer deem Him invincible."

Xiao Yinruo gave a gentle smile, "Precisely said."

"But right now, I'm more concerned about another matter."

"Hmm?"

"There's already someone from the Lu Family at the Wandao Sect." Lu Jin'an lowered his gaze slightly, "I'm quite curious about who's leading the team."

Xiao Yinruo chuckled lightly, "Are you worried about Lu Yunzhu?"

"Not worried." Lu Jin'an shook his head, "Firstly, the likelihood of her going is low, and secondly, in the Wandao Sect, could she really take me away?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Yinruo rose from Lu Jin'an's lap, "Let's hear what Wanyu has to say, but for now...

Since Nanzhi hasn't woken up yet, Aunt will prepare you a lunch, as a little farewell meal in advance, how about that?"

"Great." Lu Jin'an looked at Xiao Yinruo with a smile, "I really do want to taste your cooking."

"Wait for it~"

Xiao Yinruo pinched his cheek, instinctively stepping forward, but then slowed her pace to a small stride.

"Aunt Ruo, let me carry you."

"No need, get on with your own business, dear~"
