Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

The recluse nodded; that was indeed what she was curious about.

From the perspective of Lord Hengjun, He clearly did not want the people of Jiuyi Sect to interfere with the Qingzhou land veins, but since Jing Xingzhou followed Wen Ciji's advice, He obviously did not care.

What excited Jing Xingzhou so much, and what made him willing to take such a tough stance, was the news he brought back: the forbidden god, the agent named Lu Yueyuan.

But unexpectedly, the woman's voice changed the subject: "Alright, I'll stop here for now. I'll continue after you've taken care of things for me."

Hermit Hermit: "Do you think you still have any credibility with us?! Hurry up and tell us!!!"

Chapter 69: Ex-girlfriend and Current Girlfriend

The cicadas chirped incessantly. As Lu Yueyuan emerged from the Zaishan Pavilion, he found himself embroiled in an endless argument with the Holy Emperor in his mind.

From the moment the Holy Emperor raised his conjecture about Qing Zaishan, the two began to argue. The points of contention included, but were not limited to, proclaiming that they were right and belittling the other as wrong, and then escalating to who lived longer and who had more experience.

Even gods and their agents can quarrel, as seen with Jing Xingzhou and Lord Hengjun, and Lu Yueyuan and the Holy Emperor.

Fortunately, Lu Yueyuan and the Holy Emperor are not like that side. Firstly, Lu Yueyuan is not as naive as Jing Xingzhou, and secondly, the Holy Emperor is even more shameless than Lord Hengjun.

For example, right now, in order to win the debate against Lu Yueyuan, the Holy Emperor has escalated from rational analysis to seizing the moral high ground. The sarcastic remarks and veiled criticisms are too numerous to mention, but in short, they have left Lu Yueyuan, who has simulated the future countless times, somewhat unable to cope.

If this continues, it will just become a pure trash-talking session.

The clever Lu Yueyuan decided to change the subject.

"Help me see what Arrogance and the others are doing."

“Let me see… Oh, she’s helping out. Didn’t you have Ming Huaiwei and the others move to Cloud Valley? She and Gluttony are helping out there.”

Having successfully diverted the topic, the Holy Emperor said, "It seems that setting up a hidden formation and making the disciples of that lineage understand the current situation will require considerable effort. Most importantly, you need to ensure that they will not betray you, which is a very risky task."

There was no way around it; from the moment Lu Yueyuan decided to save Ming Huaiwei, both she and Huai Zaimai would become a burden to Lu Yueyuan.

However, Lu Yueyuan seemed indifferent: "Betrayal is betrayal, it doesn't matter."

The Holy Emperor said, "Oh, you look so confident, but I don't dislike your confidence... but you changed the subject, didn't you?!"

That's right, he changed the subject. There was no point in engaging in a pointless war of words with the Holy Emperor; he needed to think things through on his own.

For example, Lu Yueyuan wanted to steal Qing Zai Shan's diary, which had mysteriously appeared in the Zai Shan History Pavilion. Unfortunately, the disciples were very strict in their investigations, and there was no guarantee that it wasn't a trap deliberately left by Qing Zai Shan. So, after looking through it once, Lu Yueyuan decided to leave it there.

Putting aside the unreasonable things that followed, what the Holy Emperor said earlier still made sense.

First of all, it can be confirmed that although the writing style of that thing does not match the writing style of Qing Zai Shan in Lu Yueyuan's memory, it was definitely written by her, and the Holy Emperor's power can also prove this point.

After careful consideration, Lu Yueyuan still leaned towards the conclusion that this obvious split was caused by Yu Qingzai's power.

He did not believe that Qing Zaishan had a split personality, nor did he believe that he killed a fake Qing Zaishan in the timeline.

Lu Yueyuan was more inclined to believe that, because before it was all a simulation of the future, and Qing Zaishan knew this through her powers, so whether she lived or died didn't matter. But now that reality was progressing, she couldn't possibly not take it seriously.

Her power is now being fully revealed.

So, from Lu Yueyuan's perspective, what choice should he make?

Qing Zaishan is not Ming Huaiwei. They are not familiar with each other at all. After the bloodline is removed, will she be willing to obediently submit?

Or to put it another way, if she really did retain the simulated memories through her powers, she would be even more furious and fight to the death with herself.

This is tricky. Should he play one of his trump cards here? Lu Yueyuan hesitated. Apart from the eldest and second eldest, he didn't want to waste his trump cards on the other dragon girls.

Perhaps we should see what the Holy Emperor has in mind...

Ah, never mind, unless it's a special circumstance, it's better not to let Him take action.

The current situation is still under Lu Yueyuan's control. Since the Hermit saw that scene, he will definitely tell Jing Xingzhou about becoming the agent of the Eternal Annihilation Holy Emperor. Once Jing Xingzhou knows, Lord Hengjun must also know. I guess the two of them are already fighting.

If a fight breaks out, the Hermit, as the strongest fighter, must stop it. If she intervenes in advance, she will learn about the agreement between Jing Xingzhou and Lord Hengjun.

That's not all.

Wen Ciji was also on her way back. If the Hermit knew, it meant she knew. If she knew, the Langya Gang would be thrown into chaos, and if the Langya Gang was thrown into chaos, Qingzhou would be thrown into chaos.

Now is the perfect time to enter Qingzhou. No matter what Qing Zaishan's powers are, or what her plans are, as long as Lu Yueyuan goes in to investigate, it's only a matter of time before she's exposed.

The Hermit Hermit, the Langya Gang, the Mohists... It doesn't matter whether the latter two help or not, as long as they don't cause trouble. It's enough that Lu Yueyuan can get the Hermit Hermit's help. Regardless of Qing Zaishan's attitude, removing the curse is something Lu Yueyuan must do.

It doesn't matter which side she's on, if she doesn't like it, just beat her up and lock her up. The final battle can still proceed without her help.

Okay, let's do it that way.

Lu Yueyuan uttered a sound: "Heh..."

He cut off the sound as soon as it came out; he had forgotten that the system was no longer there. In all the simulations of the future, every time Lu Yueyuan came up with a bad idea, he and the system would exchange this sinister grin.

According to the system, this is also a way to decompress.

It's a pity it's gone now; Lu Yueyuan can't laugh like that anymore.

The Holy Emperor suddenly spoke: "Hehehehe!!"

Lu Yueyuan asked, "What are you doing?"

Holy Emperor: "?"

Holy Emperor: "Isn't this how you are when you're jumping around in timelines? You laugh like this whenever you think of a bad idea. I'll play along."

"This is a bad habit, and I plan to change it."

Lu Yueyuan spoke firmly, not allowing the Holy Emperor any rebuttal.

This was his and the system's habit, but now that the system is gone, only he and the Holy Emperor remain, so he must cultivate new habits with the Holy Emperor.

It's not that Lu Yueyuan is particularly averse to this thing, but the situation is different now, and he has to constantly remind himself of this.

Furthermore, considering the relationship between the deity and the agent, it would be inappropriate to replicate this custom.

This is like a habit you developed with your ex-girlfriend that you absolutely cannot cultivate with your current girlfriend. Firstly, it would be disrespectful to your ex-girlfriend, and secondly, it would be unfair to your current girlfriend.

Therefore, Lu Yueyuan is now dedicated to cultivating new habits with the Holy Emperor, such as their own verbal tic, letting the Holy Emperor use his body to taste delicious food, and occasionally arguing with Him.

The system wouldn't argue with him, nor would it steal Lu Yueyuan's food; they would enjoy the food together while taking a walk.

“If you free me, we can enjoy a delicious meal together while taking a walk,” the Holy Emperor said.

"Please don't pry into my thoughts, thank you," Lu Yueyuan said.

Allowing the Holy Emperor to spy on his thoughts was a new hobby that Lu Yueyuan deliberately cultivated, just to give the Holy Emperor some amusement.

Like a system, it won't read Lu Yueyuan's thoughts.

Chapter 70: Shall we go?

Upon returning from Zaishan Pavilion, Lu Yueyuan encountered Su Zhaoran, who had been waiting for him, at the entrance of his cave.

Su Zhaoran's demeanor has changed since I last saw her.

He went from being a lively, cheerful, and sunny person with a sharp tongue to a sullen and depressed person who doesn't smile, doesn't get enough sleep, and seems to have depression.

As it turns out, being a sect leader really wasn't a good fit for her. Dealing with various factions, managing sect affairs, cultivating her own people... one task after another was enough to overwhelm her.

Not to mention that many disciples of the Huai Zai lineage have gone missing on Wu Ming Peak. How to deal with the remaining disciples is also a headache for Su Zhaoran.

The other guardians are now focused on the location of Huai Zai's meridian and the power to regulate spiritual energy. Su Zhaoran tries her best to stop them, but they always manage to refute her with various reasons.

Alas, the Nine Peaks Sect is finished.

"Master Sister".

Lu Yueyuan used his spiritual energy to check her body: "You need to get more rest."

"Guess who it is because of."

Su Zhaoran slumped weakly onto the stone table and said listlessly, "Who made me like this... You, on the other hand, are so leisurely, even going to other people's territory to look at history. Are you that interested in history?"

She gave Lu Yueyuan a look that was quite resentful.

In fact, Su Zhaoran was under a lot of pressure.

Especially knowing that Ming Huaiwei was still alive, she had to worry that some dragon girl might suddenly read her memories. So the first thing she did every day was to put on various magical artifacts to protect against mental attacks and recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra. She shouldn't have gone up to him that day. She was hoping that the boy would be willing to say something, but it seemed that he was unwilling to say anything.

Sigh, so heartless...

Lu Yueyuan looked at Su Zhaoran.

He suddenly grinned, giving a rather nasty smile: "Seeing you suffer like this makes me feel much better."

"........."

Su Zhaoran clicked her tongue: "Not only do you not comfort me, but you also say such heartless things?"

Lu Yueyuan nodded seriously.

“I just read about the history of Qingzhou and suddenly I have a strong interest in it. Anyway, now that the sect leader’s lineage has you, there’s nothing I need to do, so I plan to go there for a visit.”

"And I plan to take them with me, the two you met the other day. One fights alongside me, she's my right-hand woman, and the other is a great cook. Aren't they both beautiful? Ah, this is probably what life is like for the gods."

Lu Yueyuan's tone was extremely irritating, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.

Su Zhaoran blinked at him, her body slumped on the stone table, her crimson hair spreading across the table and then hanging down like piled-up blood.

She said in an exaggerated tone, "Wow, having two women on either side, huh? That's great, are you trying to provoke me? Well, you've succeeded..."

"Does this provoke you? Well, I haven't finished yet."

Lu Yueyuan said, "Of course it's not just those two. After I've had my fill of fun in Qingzhou, there's also my childhood sweetheart. In the end, just like you told me a long time ago, isn't that what men are like? They're like boys who never grow up, always interested in new and exciting things, and the same goes for women. I'm that kind of boy, always chasing after new things, always trying new things, and then I'll abandon them when I'm tired of them."

Lu Yueyuan: "That's why I said I'm not suitable to be the sect leader. My master misjudged me."

Long, long ago, before the sect leader's lineage was so depleted, Lu Yueyuan had expressed his dream in this way.

At that time, the Grandmaster was there, the Master was there, the Aunt was there, and all the senior and junior brothers and sisters were there. It was a rare gathering of three generations of the sect leader's lineage. Lu Yueyuan shamelessly declared his harem dream, saying what was the point of finding a Daoist partner? If you're going to find one, find the best. That's right, he was that shameless. He was already cultivating immortality, what did he have to worry about? If he was strong, he would find multiple partners. Su Zhaoran was suppressing a laugh, while the Master cheered loudly, saying that he was indeed worthy of being his disciple.

Then the grandmaster got angry. He was convinced that the master had corrupted Lu Yueyuan. That night, he hung the master up and beat him. The master was still angry, so the next night, he put laxatives in Lu Yueyuan's spiritual food cultivation.

Su Zhaoran reminded Lu Yueyuan of this, so Lu Yueyuan generously gave the spiritual food to his junior brother. As a result, the junior brother had diarrhea all night, and the grandmaster then hung up the master and whipped him all night.

In some ways, they really are all the same, rotten to the core.

But now, the sect leader's lineage is left with only the two bad guys. Is it really true that Heaven is blind and good people don't live long?

"Well, well, how should I put it..."

Su Zhaoran's lips moved, and she said some inexplicable things. It was clear that she wanted to say something, but then she choked on her words.

She straightened up, and the blood that had flowed out began to flow backward.

However, just as she was about to put on her previous cheerful demeanor and say something, Lu Yueyuan seemed to have anticipated it and spoke first.

Lu Yueyuan: "Want to come together?"

Su Zhaoran: "Hmm?"

Lu Yueyuan: "I also really like you, Martial Aunt. You're very beautiful and have a great figure. To be honest, I can't forget you. If I were to start a harem, I would definitely take you in. Besides, although the position of sect leader is good, I don't think it's very interesting. Do you want to come with me?"

Su Zhaoran: "Ah... this sentence..."

She fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, and the cave became quiet.

This time, Lu Yueyuan didn't intend to interrupt; he was waiting for Su Zhaoran's reaction.

After a long pause, Su Zhaoran raised her head and revealed the familiar smile she had shown before: "Hahaha, this won't do, nephew, what we're doing is against human ethics."

Lu Yueyuan: "I can understand, but is this a rejection?"

Su Zhaoran: "No, I didn't say that. I actually hate these kinds of rules, regulations, and etiquette. Besides, you're quite good-looking, so maybe we'd be a good match?"

Lu Yueyuan: "Hehe, yeah, maybe."

Red and black intertwined...

The boy opened his eyes from his sleep and saw a girl knocking excitedly outside the window...

Then they ran into the darkness. It was an adventure, but because of each other, the unknown was no longer frightening.

Lu Yueyuan stepped forward and placed a magical artifact on the stone table.

He said, "Master, after I leave, I will entrust my cave to you."

Su Zhaoran laughed: "You trust me that much? I'll rummage through your things, and I'll sleep in your bed, eat in your bed, and even step on your pillow and cushion."

Lu Yueyuan: "Whatever you say."
