One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

He forced a smile, walked over, and reached out to ruffle Feng Baobao's messy long hair:

"Sister Bao'er... I'm sorry."

"I couldn't get an answer."

“That old man is very wicked. He insisted that I become some kind of Taoist master before he would tell me anything. I didn’t agree.”

The light in Feng Baobao's eyes dimmed instantly.

She stood there blankly for a moment, then uttered an "oh," lowered her head, and looked at her toes:

"Oh... there's no other way."

"It's alright, if you don't know, you don't know... Anyway, we've lived through so many years."

Although her tone was calm, Zhang Chulan could clearly sense the deep sense of loss emanating from her.

It's like a puppy that's been abandoned by its owner.

"Sister Bao'er!"

Zhang Chulan grabbed Feng Baobao's shoulder, his eyes filled with unwavering determination:

"Don't be discouraged! There are other people in this world who know the truth besides the Old Master!"

"My second master... yes! My second master definitely knows something! And he's so protective of his own, I'm sure I can get it out of him sometime!"

"Besides, we can investigate ourselves! As long as we're together, we'll be able to unravel this mystery someday!"

Feng Baobao looked up at Zhang Chulan's excited expression, and after a long while, nodded:

"Okay, whatever you say."

"Come on, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

……

Inside the main hall.

After Zhang Chulan left, the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

Zhang Tianyi remained leaning against the pillar, arms crossed, looking like a deflated balloon.

"Alright, stop looking so dead."

Zhang Tianyi said irritably, "What's the big deal? This Celestial Master's Ordination is a hot potato. That kid is as cunning as a monkey, how could he possibly take it?"

"Second brother..."

Zhang Zhiwei gave a wry smile and looked up at the caisson ceiling above the main hall:

"You're stopping me, not just to keep me from dying, are you?"

"You know what's inside this Celestial Master's Decree, right?"

"I do not know."

Zhang Tianyi's answer was straightforward, and also quite shameless:

"If I knew, would I still be wasting my breath talking to you here?"

He walked over to the old master, plopped down on the ground, not caring whether it was cold or not:

"But I know one thing."

"This thing is a trap. It's a trap that will wipe out all your offspring."

“When Master passed it on to you, I felt something was wrong. He was originally in very good health, but I heard that he passed away a few years after passing it on to you.”

"and……"

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Tianyi's eyes:

"That restriction is disgusting."

"Knowing the truth but being unable to speak it is worse than killing someone. This kind of inhumane setting is definitely problematic."

“Although I can’t solve this problem right now, I certainly can’t just stand by and watch you push Chu Lan in there, and I certainly can’t watch you risk your life for this piece of junk.”

At this point, Zhang Tianyi suddenly remembered something, and, seething with hatred, slapped his thigh:

"Damn it! It all comes down to that troublemaker!"

"Rootless!!"

Mentioning this name caused the lightning around Zhang Tianyi to crackle uncontrollably.

"That bastard! He calls himself the leader of the Quanxing Sect, but I think he's just a full-time entertainer!"

"Back when we were in the mountains, I disliked him. He was always acting mysterious and pretentious, like a wise man who had seen through the ways of the world, but in reality, he was just a troublemaker who caused trouble everywhere!"

"He instigated the Jia Shen Rebellion, he orchestrated the Thirty-Six Bandits, and the Eight Extraordinary Skills originated from him!"

"Now look what's happened! Everyone's dead, the secrets are all buried, and we're left with a mess to clean up!"

Zhang Tianyi grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, and stood up, pacing back and forth in the main hall:

"What's most infuriating is that this guy can show off even better than me!"

"When I, Daoist Master, try to show off, it's because of my strength, my good looks, and my personal charm!"

"His arrogance comes from manipulating everyone else and then disappearing without a trace!"

"This is a disgrace to the world of showing off! He's a scumbag!"

The old master felt a slight relief as he looked at his enraged junior brother.

He shook his head helplessly:

"You... after all these years, you're still so vengeful."

"Can't you forgive and forget?!"

Zhang Tianyi stopped and pointed to the sky outside the hall:

"I always felt that the old guy wasn't quite dead yet."

“That Feng Baobao… I think there’s something strange about her. That pure, almost 'Taoist' state is so similar to the evil energy that Wugensheng had back then.”

"Senior brother."

Zhang Tianyi turned around, looked at the old master, and his eyes became extremely serious:

"Let's put the matter of the Celestial Master's Ordination on hold for now."

"You can't die yet. You have to live."

"Because of the truth of what happened back then... I have to investigate it myself."

"Since the restriction won't let you tell me, then I'll find it myself!"

"I refuse to believe it! I'll turn this earth upside down, dig up Wugensheng, and still not find the answer?!"

"Once I find a way to break the curse of the Celestial Master, then..."

Zhang Tianyi's lips curled into a mischievous smile:

"If you want to dump this mess on someone else, I absolutely won't stop you."

"When the time comes, we brothers can retire together, open an internet cafe down the mountain, or form a senior citizens' disco group. Wouldn't that be great?"

The old master was stunned as he listened to his junior brother's absurd daydream.

After a long while, he stroked his beard and laughed loudly, the sound of which made the hall reverberate.

"Hahaha! Great! What a wonderful old-age disco group!"

"Since you have this intention, junior brother, then I, your senior brother, will... live a few more years!"

"Just wait and see how you make an even bigger hole in this sky!"

Chapter 52 The world is so big, I want to go see it.

Although the Luotian Grand Ceremony has ended, the popularity of Longhu Mountain has not diminished at all.

Tourists continue to flock to the temple, and the incense remains strong.

The top of a thousand-year-old pine tree on the back mountain of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Zhang Tianyi, with a lollipop dangling from his mouth and wearing sunglasses, hung upside down on a tree branch like a giant bat, swaying gently in the breeze.

His mental network covered an area of ​​several kilometers.

"Tsk, there are more rats now..."

In Zhang Tianyi's perception, apart from the normal tourists and the NaDuTong employees cleaning up the battlefield, there were other people around.

Deep in the mountains and even on several distant mountain peaks, more than a dozen extremely subtle yet probing gazes appeared.

"Whose people are they? Are they coveting the Heavenly Talisman or interested in me?"

Zhang Tianyi crunched the lollipop to pieces, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

His behavior at the Luotian Grand Ritual was far too shocking.

Especially that youthful appearance that has lasted for seventy years, for some old monsters who are nearing the end of their lives, is even more tempting than the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

"They've been hiding in the shadows spying all this time, aren't they afraid of getting styes?"

Zhang Tianyi sat up and stretched:

“These bastards definitely wouldn’t dare to show their faces on this mountain.”

"Since that's the case, then I, Daoist, will... give you a chance."

……

Half an hour later, in the inner courtyard of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Are you going down the mountain?"

The old master Zhang Zhiwei was drinking porridge when he heard the news, and his spoon stopped in mid-air.

"Yes."

Zhang Tianyi had changed into an extremely casual outfit: a beach shirt printed with coconut trees, baggy shorts, flip-flops, and a straw hat on her head.
