Immortal Palace Model

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Zheng Yunyi had only recently returned to the sect. Qin Yi had spent several days in the underground palace's medicine room, battling wits and courage against bears in the mountains. Recalling those unbearable days, Zheng Yunyi sighed, his hand still aching slightly.

He was badly injured and weaker than an ordinary person. If it weren't for the fact that he could still use a few treasures and use his wit and courage to escape, he might have become a weapon for the black bear. Luckily, he was just a little bit off.

He eventually escaped from the deep mountains, but because he didn't get enough rest during those few days and instead suffered quite a bit, his injuries worsened, leaving him with some lingering health problems. His bones still ache slightly.

After recovering from his injuries in his cave abode, he went out to Xi Xiangzi's place, hoping to find some good medicine.

As he passed by the main square of their Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations Sect, he noticed that all his fellow disciples were staring at him strangely, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Some even waved and greeted him, saying, "Uncle-Master, you are our pride."

"Uncle-Master, I never expected you to be such a noble and virtuous person. Helping fellow disciples and outsmarting powerful enemies—it's exhilarating to hear! Our great sects should have this kind of spirit!"

"Senior Brother, you've got guts! If those bald monks dare to utter a single fart, we brothers will all stand up for you!"

Zheng Yunyi: "???"

Xi Xiangzi flew over, his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking like a sighing old man with nothing better to do.

Zheng Yunyi was completely baffled and asked him, "What's going on?"

Xi Xiangzi whispered in his ear, "I'd like to know what you're up to? Why did you save Qin Yi?"

"What kind of Qin Yi would I save? I failed to trick him! Those useless monks at Great Joy Temple are truly unreliable. Three monks of similar cultivation to him, using the terrain and hidden treasures, managed to ambush him without even scratching him. And Qin Yi even managed to come through the tunnel and disrupt my plans. I don't know how they did it!" Zheng Yunyi lamented, "I think even if you released three live pigs running around in that underground palace, Qin Yi wouldn't be able to catch and kill them all in an instant!"

Xi Xiangzi looked at him sympathetically and asked, "What about Guan Ji? Did you kill him?"

"It's true that I killed Guan Ji, but even if I hadn't, he wouldn't have survived. At that time, Qin Yi had already shattered his Golden Elixir, and he would have died without timely treatment," Zheng Yunyi said. "I killed him to make him take the brunt of the backlash for me; it was just making use of him."

Xi Xiangzi sighed, "How did Qin Yi know you killed him? Did he see it? You shouldn't have shown yourself directly in front of Qin Yi. It's unreasonable for Ju Yunxiu to recall your actions. How could you be so careless?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. That phantom dragon is already connected to Meng Qingying's soul, so what it sees can naturally be relayed to Meng Qingying. Qin Yi and that vixen were hiding underground, all lovey-dovey; they probably know every single mole on each other's bodies. How could they not know something like this?"

Xi Xiangzi thought for a while and said, "Then it will be very difficult to wash."

Zheng Yunyi was completely confused. "Explain it more clearly?"

Before the words were finished, several members of the Enforcement Hall flew over from the horizon and announced to the crowd, "Zheng Yunyi, a disciple of the Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations Sect, assisted his fellow disciples in fighting against the Demon Disciple. His wisdom and courage enabled him to overcome the strong with the weak. This is a model that all disciples of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace should emulate. Following a proposal from the Inspector, the Enforcement Hall unanimously approved the bestowal of a certain amount of Spirit Stone and a certain amount of High-Grade Qi Boosting Powder upon Zheng Yunyi..."

Zheng Yunyi was dumbfounded.

A few Spirit Stone? What use are they to a core member of a sect? High-Grade Qi Boosting Powder? That's a staple product of their Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations Sect...

Before they could react, the messenger continued, "... Furthermore, please have the disciples of the Book Sect compile his deeds into a book, establish it as a model, and widely publicize it. He will also be bestowed with a brocade banner, a large red flower, and ride on Rainbow Cloud around the celestial palace for three days, so that people may praise him, to demonstrate his wisdom, courage, and fraternal spirit..."

A big red flower... Zheng Yunyi felt a mouthful of blood welling up in his throat, but he forced himself to say, "Let's forget about compiling stories and circling the palace for three days. Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

The envoy smiled and said, "This is to let the disciples learn from and emulate, to demonstrate the spirit of unity and mutual assistance in our Immortal Palace, and more importantly, to commend the wisdom, courage and Blood Qi of daring to confront powerful enemies. The inspector said that Senior Brother Zheng will definitely decline humbly on the surface, but in reality he should be very happy about the scene of being praised by thousands of people. He even composed a poem on the spot: 'The spring breeze is triumphant and the Rainbow Cloud are swift, and in three days I can see all the flowers of the Immortal Palace.'"

Is that a public parade or a procession?

Zheng Yunyi was furious and tentatively asked, "Have you all made such a big fuss about this? Does Great Joy Temple know?"

"Huh? Could it be that the Great Joy Temple didn't know it was Junior Brother Zheng who did it? That shouldn't be the case; they're not stupid." The envoy laughed, "Junior Brother Zheng, don't worry about gains and losses. The entire Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is behind you! The Diplomacy Hall has already issued a warning ultimatum..."

Zheng Yunyi was so angry that he was trembling all over.

Before he killed the man, he had already used magic to disrupt the energy at the scene, making it difficult for Great Joy Temple to reconstruct the scene from the remains. It was really difficult to find the real culprit! If they investigated by questioning Da Qian, the most likely explanation would be Qin Yi; if they traced back the cause and effect directly, it would most likely point to Meng Qingying, because the dragon that directly killed the man belonged to Meng Qingying, and in fact, Guan Ji attacked Meng Qingying first in that battle.

He had everything planned out perfectly!

How could you assume they already knew the real culprit and were dealing with them, only to turn it into them exposing themselves? Are you all pigs?

Zheng Yunyi, whose illness was not yet cured, finally spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he fainted from anger.

The voices of the young disciples could still be heard. "Ah, Uncle Zheng is so happy he's fainted..."

At this moment, Qin Yi was sitting in Ju Yunxiu's room, writing down Zheng Yunyi's "advanced deeds." Ju Yunxiu, sitting beside him, was both amused and annoyed. "Your hand is really too..."

After thinking for a long time, there was only one most suitable adjective, but she wanted to maintain her elegance, so it was hard to say.

Then he looked at Qing Cha. Qing Cha shook his head vigorously.

Ju Yunxiu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, while Qing Cha remained unyielding to the death.

The silent conversation between the master and apprentice had already proven that word was well-known: too despicable... Qin Yi was of course aware of this. He wrote down the "advanced deeds" without looking to the side, blew on the still wet ink, and laughed, "It's fine if Zheng Yunyi scolds me, but you two can't scold me."

Ju Yunxiu asked, "Why can't I curse?"

"Where did my grudge against him come from? It's all because of our Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect!" Qin Yi said, "You think it's just a friendly rivalry between fellow disciples, Gentleman's Game, but they might not see it that way. They've repeatedly colluded with external enemies, trying to kill their fellow disciples. I don't think they're gentlemen at all. It's just that we haven't gone all out and completely broken ties... If we don't retaliate, do they really think our Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect is full of cute girls who are easy to bully?"

Ju Yunxiu said, "You're right. But is that your reason for coming back into my room without explaining what happened with those women?"

You didn't stop it, did you... which means dealing with the Scheming Sect makes you feel good.

Qin Yi knew what was going on, but he couldn't answer that way on the surface. He just smiled and said, "Because I'm upright and honest, there's really nothing I need to explain to them."

The sound of vomiting came from my Sea of Consciousness.

Qin Yi remained expressionless.

Regardless of what Liu Su thought, there was nothing to explain about his relationship with Cheng Cheng and Meng Qingying. Cheng Cheng's grudges were complicated, but ultimately, it wasn't that kind of relationship; as for Meng Qingying, it was clear he didn't want to get involved, and they parted ways. Frankly, he was perfectly justified. If his senior sister wanted to dwell on their relationship, she should be more concerned about Ye Ling; at least that involved genuine, deep feelings. But Ye Ling seemed to have been completely ignored by his senior sister...

Perhaps in her Senior Sister's eyes, Ye Ling and Qing Cha are the same thing...

Ju Yunxiu leaned closer. "So, you're saying I wronged you when I kicked you yesterday?"

"Yes," Qin Yi said, "I got kicked and need my Senior Sister's kiss to heal."

"Where are you hurt, you're so energetic?"

"Sad."

Ju Yunxiu couldn't help but laugh, "You little lecher, if you had been this glib from the start, I would never have accepted you as a disciple!"

Qin Yi pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "How did you know my lips were oily?"

Ju Yunxiu's heart fluttered slightly.

Perhaps Qin Yi wasn't conscious when they kissed, but she was completely awake. That feeling... she often reminisced about it in the Dream Return of night.

In that moment of distraction, Qin Yi's lips tentatively moved to the corner of her lips.

Ju Yunxiu herself was also a little expectant, and whispered, "Even if it's just the reward for your success in dealing with the Scheming Sect this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, his words were completely cut off, leaving only a soft "woo-woo" sound, like a sob.
