Chapter 330

"Oh, wait a minute, have some tea with me first, I have something important to discuss with you..."

After a while.

Xiao Minghuang put down her teacup.

She looked at the jade heirloom plaque on the table with a curious expression.

"Master, what does this mean?"

The Sun Hall Mistress smiled and explained, "My trip to the Endless Sea was originally to seek an audience with the Earth Immortals of the Three Immortal Islands, but I unexpectedly encountered the Primordial Earth Immortal who was a guest on Fangzhang Immortal Island."

"The Primordial Earth Immortal said he could help undo the True Martial Demon Subduing Seal and gave me one of his classic texts, saying that I should pass it on to you, as it would be helpful in undoing your seal."

He said that if the problem still doesn't resolve itself after practicing this method, then go back to him.

"Although you have now broken the seal yourself, this method must still be given to you; your master will not keep it to himself."

"I see."

Xiao Minghuang suddenly realized what was happening and was immediately moved.

In the past two years, her master has been running around for her, even going so far as to seek help from a celestial being.

"Thank you very much, Master, and thank you very much Primordial Earth Immortal!"

Xiao Minghuang accepted the inheritance jade tablet; she should accept the goodwill extended by a terrestrial immortal.

However, she looked at the Sun Hall Mistress with some doubt. "Master, why is this Primordial Earth Immortal willing to help me?"

"You don't know this."

The Sun Hall Mistress explained, "The forbidden zones of life do not coexist peacefully. The True Martial Earth Immortal and the Primordial Earth Immortal are not on good terms either. The True Martial Earth Immortal placed a talisman on you, and the Primordial Earth Immortal helped you remove it, which can annoy your opponent."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang nodded; it did seem to make some sense.

"Alright!"

The Sun Hall Mistress cleared his throat and said, "Enough of the pleasantries, let's get down to business."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. Wasn't what they were just discussing important matters?

A moment later.

She looked at the Sun Hall Mistress with a complicated expression. "Master, is this what you wanted to talk about?"

At this moment, a faint blush appeared on the face of the Sun Hall Mistress, as if he were somewhat shy, and he lowered his head involuntarily.

"... Um!"

"My friend is someone I'm close to, and among my peers, there's no one... no one else has had a similar experience, so I have no choice but to ask you."

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and slowly said, "What Master means is that your friend and her senior sister were childhood sweethearts and had a close relationship since they were young. Later, something happened to her senior sister's family, and your friend felt that he couldn't help, so he buryed his head in the sand and went into seclusion for a long time. When your friend finally came out of seclusion, the senior sister's family matter was also resolved, but her senior sister resented your friend because of it, so the two of them couldn't be together for a long time, is that what you mean?"

"Ahem... you... you've misunderstood. She's not my senior sister, she's my friend's senior sister..."

The Sun Hall Mistress blushed.

Xiao Minghuang looked at the Sun Hall Mistress with a puzzled expression. "I'm talking about my master's friend's senior sister!"

"Ah... right! Continue!"

What do Master's friends think?

"Of course, it's to make things happen!"

The Sun Hall Mistress immediately responded.

"Master and this friend really have a good relationship..."

Xiao Minghuang narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

"... Hehe, after all these years, am I not allowed to have one or two close friends?"

"Of course not. This disciple dares not comment on Master's friendships, but if Master's friends only want to get together with Senior Sister as soon as possible, it's quite simple."

"Simple?" The Sun Hall Mistress's eyes lit up. "What method?"

"According to Master, there's only one thin veil separating Master's friend from Senior Sister's feelings; the friend feels guilty but is also concerned about saving face, while Senior Sister is shy but also mindful of Master's friend's feelings. So, things remain at an impasse."

"Therefore, if you want to bring about a good thing, it's quite simple; all you need is a medicinal ingredient!"

"What kind of medicinal ingredient?"

"One Minor Yin-Yang Pill."

Xiao Minghuang said calmly.

"Minor Yin-Yang Pill?"

The Sun Hall Mistress was taken aback. Of course she knew that the Minor Yin-Yang Pill was a stimulant pill taken by Dao Companion during dual cultivation, and it also helped cultivators conceive offspring.

Is this... appropriate?

437. The Old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master

The Sun Hall Mistress hesitated, knowing in her heart that if she really did this, she might actually be able to break through that barrier.

Her senior sister wouldn't really blame her; she'd just have to comfort her.

But she found it difficult to make this decision.

"Whether it's suitable or not, Master only needs to tell that friend and let them make their own decision. Why should Master worry so much?"

Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly, "My Dao Companion is an alchemist. He can even refine pills that can bewitch even Saint Realm cultivators. Perhaps he can be of service to my master's friends!"

"This..."

The Sun Hall Mistress hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Xiao Minghuang's ear and whispered a few words.

"... Is that so?"

Xiao Minghuang's expression showed a slight surprise. After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "Master, rest assured, I'll take care of this!"

"Uh-huh!"

The Sun Hall Mistress said with a sigh of relief, "Then I'll leave it to my good disciple. Master will take his leave now."

"Take care, Master."

Watching the Sun Hall Mistress's retreating figure, Xiao Minghuang's lips curled into a smile.

"Master is truly young at heart despite his advanced age..."

The Sun Hall Mistress had always taken good care of her, so she naturally wouldn't be indifferent to her master's important life event.

"Let me greet the other girls first, then talk to Ruoshui about it. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Xiao Minghuang stood up and prepared to head to Ye Ruoshui's cave.

On her way there, she suddenly remembered something else she had forgotten to ask the Sun Hall Mistress.

"I was careless; I forgot to ask Master what level his friend's senior sister was in cultivation?"

She then took out a talisman to try to communicate with the Sun Hall Mistress, but received no reply.

"Forget it, I'll go ask my master. This kind of thing can't be explained clearly just by looking at the talismans."

After leaving Xiao Minghuang's residence, the Sun Hall Mistress suppressed his inner joy and returned to the Sun God Palace.

Over the years, every time she tried to make progress in her relationship with the Taiyin Supreme, she was ruthlessly interrupted. Now they are about to pass through an entire era, and if this continues, who knows how long it will last.

"Hopefully, this time, my wish will come true."

The Sun Hall Mistress thought to himself.

She then returned to the Sun God Palace.

As soon as she reached the palace gate, she saw her maid looking at her nervously.

"Lord of the Palace, you're finally back!"

The Sun Hall Mistress was slightly taken aback, looking at her with surprise. "What happened?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "It's the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master. He came suddenly, saying that the Palace Master should rest for a while and not concern himself with the affairs of the Holy Academy for the time being..."

"The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master?"

The Sun Hall Mistress was taken aback. Although her relationship with the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master wasn't particularly close, it was still harmonious, and they had never had any conflicts. Why would he suddenly cause her trouble?

"You can go down first, I'll go in and take a look."

"Lord of the Palace, please be careful. The old Pavilion Master seems to have ill intentions."

"Um."

The Sun Hall Mistress has been in charge of the Holy Academy for many years. In terms of strength, he could have broken through to the Supreme Realm long ago. However, he originally planned to wait until the next era to compete for the position of Emperor, which is why he has not broken through yet.

Therefore, she wasn't actually that afraid of those older, supreme figures.

Immediately afterwards, the Sun Hall Mistress stepped into the Sun God Palace.

Inside the main hall.

The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master sat on the head seat, his gaze coldly fixed on the outside of the hall.

He gently placed his right hand on the armrest, his fingertips lightly tapping the grooves of the armrest, making a soft 'tap-tap' sound.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the curtains on the high platform of the main hall and landing on the Sun Hall Mistress was slowly walking into the main hall.

"My esteemed senior uncle has graced us with his presence; I have failed to personally greet him, which is truly impolite and deserving of punishment!"

The Sun Hall Mistress bowed respectfully.

"You do deserve punishment." The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master stood up, his aged face solemn, and slowly said, "However, not because you failed to personally greet them."

The Sun Hall Mistress straightened up, neither humble nor arrogant, his brows slightly furrowed, and said, "What makes you say such a thing, Uncle-Master?"

"You've taken on a fine disciple!"

The Sun Hall Mistress smiled slightly, "Thank you for the praise, Uncle-Master. My disciple is indeed outstanding; he can be described as a peerless genius, unparalleled throughout history!"

"Hmph!" the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master said coldly, "Clever words and a flattering demeanor!"

"Then do you know that she was the one who tolled the bell of the Epochal Annihilation? From the beginning of her reign, the remaining destinies of the Five Directions One Realm have been unable to reunite with the source of the world once more!"

The Sun Hall Mistress had also heard about this matter, but she didn't really care. The future was for those who would take care of it; there was no need for them to worry about it.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; don't be a beast of burden for them. The next life is up to the individual to decide. Uncle, aren't you worrying too much?"

"The afterlife?"

The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master said, word by word, "That's not the afterlife!"

"The time of the fusion of world origins is only twelve epochs away. The Heavenly Dao will begin to decay. It will take at least ten or more epochs, or less than a hundred, before this world becomes completely desolate, turning into a Dead Star and falling into the wilderness of the universe!"

"Have you not thought about these things?"

Upon hearing the other party mention the Epochal Annihilation, the Sun Hall Mistress's nerves tightened. Combined with the sudden intervention of the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master, she quickly recalled the incident where her good disciple was sealed by the True Martial Earth Immortal, while the Emperor stood by and watched coldly.

This matter was already very strange. Zhongtian Dongji was the foundation of the Emperor. As long as something happened within this realm, no matter when or where, even in different times and spaces, it could have an impact on him.

But True Martial Earth Immortal inexplicably appeared in the Eastern Pole and severely injured Xiao Minghuang, yet the Emperor showed no reaction whatsoever.

Previously, out of trust in the Emperor, the Sun Hall Mistress had never considered this possibility.

But what happened afterward, including the Emperor's reaction and the sudden appearance of the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master, left her disheartened.

Perhaps the Emperor already knew about this.

Perhaps, the Emperor tacitly approved of this.

Or perhaps, this is actually a joint operation between the Emperor and the True Martial Earth Immortal!

In the blink of an eye, the Sun Hall Mistress's expression turned cold, and he said indifferently, "If the old Pavilion Master has come only to discuss these vague and unfounded matters, then please forgive my poor hospitality and make yourself at home!"

After speaking, the Sun Hall Mistress turned to leave.

She has always had a fiery temper, especially after being in charge of the Holy Academy for many years. No one dares to rebuke her to her face. Apart from being completely obedient to the Taiyin Supreme, anyone who dares to obstruct her will suffer a strong backlash.

However, since the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master was her elder, she was unwilling to fall out with him in person. Taking a step back now was a way of saving face for both of them.
