Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"Master of all things, impervious to all harm. So this is the rule that is not afraid of the Haotian World."

"At this point in time, to break through to the state of purity, one needs to reach these states and then elevate them further."

Hinata Hoshino shook his head. "I don't quite know how to describe it. Why did the gambler awaken Haotian in the first place?"

The reason Haotian was awakened was to protect the world. Originally, Haotian's divine kingdom was broken. If it weren't for the moon that Confucius transformed into, this place would probably have been attacked by countless meteorites.

However, judging from the Heavenly Book, it doesn't seem so. If he didn't have the ambition to control the world, why would he bet with Haotian to win the Heavenly Book? The Heavenly Book's function is to merge with Haotian's divine kingdom and replace Haotian.

"His initial intention was to protect, perhaps with ambition. Later, Haotian did a good job, so he let go and left."

"Went to explore the universe?"

"Although I don't know what lies beyond Haotian, if the universe refers to beyond Haotian, then you're right. Hey, you've taken the bait!"

The Master picked up a peony fish and showed it off to Hyuga Hoshino, "Look, I caught one! Go and cook it."

"Make sashimi?"

"can."

Fish sashimi is raw fish slices. When Hyuga Hoshino patted the sea, a stream of water condensed into an ice blade in his hand, and a fish was quickly dismembered and placed in a bowl made of ice.

Would you like some dipping sauce?

"I'm not picky about food, have some."

Hinata Hoshino took out the dragon meat sauce and started eating fish with Fu Zi. Fu Zi nodded, "Not bad sauce, I'll buy some."

"If you're not selling, you might as well eat some."

"Master!"

The teacher turned his head and saw it was Li Manman. "Manman, what's the matter?"

"Master Yan Se announced that the Divine Array on Vermilion Bird Street has been activated, seemingly because of a young maid."

Master Fu and Hinata Hoshino looked up at Chang'an upon hearing the maid's voice, while Ning Que looked helplessly at the severely injured Sang Sang.

Just after Hinata Hoshino and Master left Chang'an, Sangsang inexplicably had the idea of ​​going out for a stroll.

While aimlessly wandering around, Haotian looked up and saw the Vermilion Bird sculpture in front of him. Haotian unleashed his full hostility, causing the Vermilion Bird to revive and the Divine Shock Array to activate.

Haotian's idea was that since there was no way to forcibly seize control, he might as well let Sangsang experience life and death so that she would agree to let him control her body.

The idea is good, but since Hyuga Hoshino and Master are both in Chang'an, if she releases hostility, she will definitely be discovered. I'm afraid that before the Shocking God Formation is activated, she will be suppressed by Hyuga Hoshino.

If she is suppressed again, it's questionable whether she will even be able to see what's happening in the outside world.

However, there is another problem: if Sangsang is killed, her plan to capture the teacher will be ruined, which also won't work.

Thus, Ning Que, who never parted with the large black umbrella, became a source of protection.

"This is a matter for the Ministry of War; all unauthorized personnel must step aside."

Ning Que heard a sound not far away and instinctively moved aside. His brother, Zhuo Er, ran past him, covered in wounds.

By the time Ning Que realized what was happening, Zhuo Er and the soldiers had already left. Ning Que chased after them, only to find Zhuo Er's corpse.

This almost made Ning Que faint; these were some of his few brothers.

"Drow!"

Chao Xiaoshu also rushed over. Zhuo Er's clansmen were massacred on Xiahou's orders. In order to avenge them, Zhuo Er came to Chang'an and first joined the Ministry of War to become Xiahou's personal guard, and later joined the Fish and Dragon Gang.

Zhuo Er wanted to go to the Old Pen Shop, but Ning Que and Sang Sang were not there. He could only hide the note containing the accomplices of the Lin Guangyuan case and the Yan Jing massacre in his mouth and ran all the way to Zhuque Street.

Once inside the area of ​​Suzaku Avenue, these people won't kill openly; at most, they'll arrest him, giving him a chance to escape.

I never imagined that I would miss Ning Que by just one step, and miss Chao Xiaoshu by just two steps.

“Boss Ning, Zhuo Er is also your brother.”

"Yes, we are the best of brothers."

Zhuo Er tilted his head, and a slip of paper fell out of his mouth: Zhang Yiqi, Chen Zixian, Yan Suqing, Gu Xi, Huang Xing, Yu Shuizhu...

Ning Que clenched his fists, his desire for revenge growing ever stronger.

"Wow!"

Hearing the Vermilion Bird's cry, Chao Xiaoshu wondered who had disturbed it. Ning Que instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he told Chao Xiaoshu to look after Zhuo Er and ran towards Vermilion Bird Street.

As soon as Ning Que arrived at Suzaku Street, he saw Suzaku rush straight towards Sang Sang, who was sent flying. Seeing that it hadn't killed Sang Sang in one move, Suzaku tried the same trick again. Without thinking, Ning Que raised his large black umbrella to block Suzaku.

Yan Se sensed that the Shocking God Array had been triggered and arrived at Vermilion Bird Street, where she only saw Ning Que and Sang Sang. Upon sensing them, she found them to be unremarkable. Yan Se took out the array pestle and stopped the Shocking God Array.

When Xiaoshu arrived, he found Ning Que and Sang Sang both seriously injured. Ning Que was in slightly better condition, having eaten some dragon meat, which improved his physical condition. Sang Sang, however, was completely unconscious. If she hadn't been breathing, Ning Que would have thought she was dead.

Ning Que was at a loss; he couldn't think of anyone who could help him.

"Mr. Ning, if you don't mind, I'll take you to see a doctor."

"Thank you very much, Brother Chao. I have no way to repay you."

Hyuga Hoshino looked at the Master and said, "He really knows how to handle things."

Upon hearing this, the Master realized who Hinata Hoshino was referring to and chimed in, "That's right, he really does cause trouble for others."

Chapter 304 Red Sleeves Recruit New Nobles, Male Dancer Ning Que

"Doctor, how is this girl doing with my brother?"

"This young man is alright; he suffered internal injuries from the shock, but the internal damage isn't serious. As for this young lady, in all my decades of medical practice, I've never seen such a strange pulse."

Chao Xiaoshu summoned a doctor to take his pulse. The doctor's words reassured Chao Xiaoshu, but Ning Que was startled. He struggled to get up and bowed to the doctor.

"Doctor, please, save her, she is my only family."

"I can not do anything."

The doctor left calmly, leaving Ning Que with no choice but to place his hopes on Chao Xiaoshu.

"Brother Chao, you are a great swordsman and a great cultivator, is there any way to save her? There must be a way, right?"

"this?"

Chao Xiaoshu looked troubled. He was just an ordinary cultivator at the Dongxuan realm. What could he do?

Suddenly, something appeared in Xiaoshu's hand, which was behind her back. "Let me think about it."

He turned to Xiaoshu and looked at the note in his hand; it was a message from Yan Se.

Hongxiu Zhao, Jian Dajia, you can seek help from the second floor of the academy—Yan Se.

Chao Xiaoshu's expression was a little strange. Could the experts at Hongxiuzhao ask the academy for help? But thinking about it, Yan Se didn't seem like the type to lie.

"Mr. Ning, do you know Hongxiuzhao?"

"The largest brothel in Chang'an?"

"That's right, the boss is known as Master Jian, and it's said that he has some connection with the second floor of the academy."

Ning Que was also somewhat skeptical. A brothel owner and the second floor of the academy? Did the Master like this? Or was it some other teacher?

However, it is also the last hope; the doctor we just saw is the best doctor that Chao Xiaoshu can find.

"Okay, I'll go ask Master Jian."

Ning Que struggled to his feet and headed towards Hongxiuzhao. Yan Se watched from the shadows with a smile. "Good calligraphy, good heart, a good successor." However, in Yan Se's heart, the most talented was still Hyuga Hoshino.

So, let's see. Yan Se never imagined that just that one observation would leave his successor, Ning Que, tainted – by having a new teacher.

Ning Que walked into Hongxiuzhao, visiting a brothel in broad daylight. Only Yan Se had ever done that, and most of the girls at Hongxiuzhao were resting during the day.

However, it was afternoon, and Hongxiuzhao was preparing for its evening business, so it was open.

"Ning Que requests an audience with Master Jian!"

Ning Que knelt down inside the Red Sleeve Pavilion, startling Jian Xiaocao, who was dozing off.

"You wish to see Lady Jian?"

"Exactly."

"There is no such rule."

Ning Que remained silent and continued kneeling, as if he wouldn't get up until he saw Master Jian.

Jian was still immersed in the loss of not seeing Ke Haoran for so long, and the meeting would be their last. Hearing Ning Que's call, she was a little annoyed and wanted to see who was being so blind.

Pushing open the door, the first thing she saw when she saw Ning Que gave her the feeling that Ke Haoran had been resurrected.

Dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, unrestrained and unruly, so disregarding the rules, it was precisely this kind of Ke Haoran who captivated him.

"So you're the one who wants to see me?"

"Indeed, Ning Que requests an audience with Master Jian."

"Little Grass, bring him up."

Ning Que went upstairs and entered Jian Dajia's room.

Hinata Hoshino and Master observed quietly that Ning Que and Sang Sang were both protagonists and rightfully possessed most of the world's fortune.

Hinata Hoshino looked at Ning Que's luck and then at Master Fu, feeling that Ning Que's luck was completely inferior to Master Fu's, and even Sang Sang's luck was inferior to Master Fu's.

The main characters on the surface: Ning Que and Sang Sang.

The actual main characters: Master, Haotian.

Hinata Hoshino smirked. Sang Sang could be saved, but Lao Que wouldn't be able to do it without giving something in return.

Jian Dajia heard Hinata Hoshino's voice transmission in her ear. Jian Dajia hesitated. Could this young man accept it?

"Are you Ning Que?"

"It's me. I wonder if Master Jian has any connection with the second floor of the academy?"

Yes, we do, but we don't keep in touch often.

“I have a friend who is seriously injured. I’m afraid only the teachers on the second floor of the academy can treat him. Could you please help me get a referral?”

"Yes, but there will be a price to pay."

"You said it, I would go through fire and water without hesitation."
