“Gentlemen, I truly appreciate your noble intervention this time”
In a grand hall in the Pope City of Tiemo, Chen Mo, whose injuries had been cured, bowed and thanked Gu Hengsheng and Su Wen, who had once come out to support Tiemo.
Gu Hengsheng lightly waved his hand in return, "Teacher of the Tao doesn't need to be so formal. You are the respected teacher of our elder ancestor. We came out to support naturally, and besides, the elder ancestor had already instructed about this matter. If I didn't come out, it would be rebellious and ungrateful."
Chen Mo greeted him a few words, seemingly thinking of something. He was curious and asked, "I had heard that your elder ancestor had set off on a journey around the world. Do you have any news of him?"
Gu Hengsheng shook his head, with a look of helplessness, and said, "The elder ancestor's whereabouts are unpredictable. Since he left Zhongzhou, he has lost his trace. So far, the Xuanyin Academy also does not know where he is or how he is doing."
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "Then, how did you come to know about my situation, and how did you know I needed help..."
"Hahaha, about that..."
Gu Hengsheng's lips curved slightly, and he turned to look at Su Wen beside him with a smile, "That's related to Tianji Pavilion."
"This matter should be told by me."
seemingly detecting Chen Mo's confusion, Su Wen quickly explained, "Our master is an old friend of the literary saint. Many years ago, the literary saint sought fortune-telling from our master. After he discovered that Tianmo Teaching would face such a calamity, he instructed our director to take care of matters beforehand."
"And our coming is also due to what our master has instructed..."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, understanding the cause and effect of the matter. Then he turned curious and stared at Su Wen, "Su Vice-Master, who is your master?".
In Chen Mo's memory, the master of Tianji Pavilion should be Su Wen in front of him, but now things have changed greatly, just like the Master Wen Sheng Xuchangqing of Xuanyin Academy.
In Chen Mo's impression, he had always been staying at the Xuanyin Academy, but for some reason, he had wandered around everywhere instead.
Because of his presence, everything was developing in a strange direction.
"Our master, she is a extraordinary woman. To be honest, all my achievements in array arts are due to her guidance..."
As Su Wen spoke, she smiled mischievously and stared at Chen Mo, scanning him from top to bottom before quietly covering her mouth and giggling.
Chen Mo was confused and continued to ask about the affairs of this Tianji Pavilion master, but Su Wen did not say much.
Su Wen shook her head and smiled, "If the Dao Ancestor is curious about our master, he can personally go to Zhongzhou to meet her tomorrow, and I'm sure she will be very happy."
"Alright."
Chen Mo replied, "If I have time, I will definitely pay a visit."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Mo bid farewell to Su Wen and Gu Hengsheng.
The two made a date to leave the royal city.
"Gu Lao, just now I remembered some things. You can go first and leave the city."
Suwen suddenly stopped and smiled, saying.
Gu Hengsheng glanced at Su Wen briefly, then smiled, "Then I shall take my leave."
"Alright."
After Gu Hengsheng left, Su Wen turned to a quiet place, raised her eyebrow slightly, and with a cold face, she said coldly, "Come out."
Click.
A figure silently leapt down from the city wall and awkwardly smiled, "Assistant Master, you are still so powerful. I have used an array that blocks aura, but surprisingly, you still discovered it."
The woman who came was dressed in a long dress in a water blue color, her dark hair was sometimes tied up and sometimes hanging down, with a clear and bright hairpin inserted into her hair. Her eyes were bright, and she had two adorable dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.
If Chen Mo were to be here, he would definitely recognize the person. He had already met her in Yongzhou earlier.
"Who would have thought it was you, this girl. What's up with you? Why aren't you staying in Yongzhou?"
Su Wen raised an eyebrow, her tone unkind, as if she were scolding.
Chu Ruomeng habitually stretched out her slender and white hand, spreading it out flat, as if she were asking for money.
Click.
Su Wen struck a palm on Chu Ruomeng's hand, causing her to wince in pain and pull her small hand back like she had been shocked.
"Assistant Master, you..."
"Dare to ask me for money? You must be itching for trouble."
Su Wen sniffed coldly, her small hand clenching into a fist as she held it high, looking fierce and ready to punch someone. "If you don't tell me everything, I'll teach you a lesson. No, I think I'll just throw you into the forbidden area and have you guard it for ten or eight years. I bet even then you won't be so unruly."
"Wait."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruomeng's eyes brightened considerably.
In Tianji Pavilion, everyone knows that Assistant Master Su Wen has a hard punch. Early on, she had been punished by her for being playful, and she suffered from pain for three days without recovering.
And then, she would be thrown into the forbidden area to live among the strange beasts. Such solitude and loneliness for just a month is something Chu Ruomeng cannot bear, let alone the hidden dangers that lurk and threaten her life at any moment.
In Chu Ruomeng's eyes, being confined to the forbidden area for ten years was worse than being killed.
Chu Ruomeng blinked her eyes, her suddenly clear eyes looking pitifully at Su Wen and grabbed her arm, coaxing, "Assistant Master Su, I didn't come here to play because the master of the pavilion herself instructed me to come here in person...".
"It seems that it's because of the pavilion master..."
In Su Wen's memory, the pavilion master had a high level of attention for Chen Mo. While staying in the Tianji Pavilion, she had frequently sought fortune-telling for him, which caused some discontent among many skilled cultivators in the pavilion.
Su Wen shook her head and smiled bitterly, as if she had remembered something, "I heard that Chen Gongzi had been to the Chanyue Alliance in Yongzhou. Have you guys seen him?"
Chu Ruomeng nodded slightly.
"And the pavilion master..."
"She did see him, but she didn't come out personally."
Su Wen was momentarily stunned and then quickly figured something out, nodding slightly, "Afterwards... did nothing happen between them?"
Su Wen shifted her body slightly, turned her head to look at Chu Ruomeng, blinked her eyes, and her gaze was filled with a hint of curiosity and a lot of gossip...
"I don't know, you'll have to ask my sister. After all, she knows the most about this matter."
Chu Ruomeng blinked her eyes, speaking playfully, her lips involuntarily curled up, revealing two adorable dimples.
Su Wen hesitated for a moment, but quickly recovered, showing an expression of 'I see' and her mouth curled slightly up as if she had guessed something.
But soon, Su Wen put away the smile on her face, "Since the pavilion master sent you here, don't forget the master's instructions... I will leave first...".
After giving some instructions, Su Wen bid farewell to Chu Ruomeng and left the capital, while the latter leaped onto the city wall stealthily and concealed her form.
At this moment, in a corner not far from the palace city, a man dressed in green suddenly appeared, standing still and staring at the two who had already gone far away...
