An Uninvited Guest! Rujie Asks for Help?

Then, Chen Changqing and Little Black continued to lie on the rocks and bask in the sun.

A short while later, hurried footsteps approached.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Ran Hua walking forward quickly.

"Greetings, Holy Son!"

Upon approaching, Ran Hua quickly bowed to Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing nodded and asked:

"Junior Brother Ran."

"What happened? You look so anxious!"

Ran Hua smiled slightly awkwardly, and then replied:

"Holy Son."

"Someone is requesting an audience outside the gates of Evergreen Peak."

"The two seniors Black Bear and Mystic Serpent, have sent me to inform you, Holy Son, whether you wish to summon that person!"

"Oh, right, that person... claimed to be from Heavenly Sound Temple, and his name was... Rujie."

Upon hearing what Ran Hua said, Chen Changqing was taken aback.

"Rujie?"

"Why did this Flowery Monk end up in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land?"

"You even made a special trip to Evergreen Peak to look for me?"

Chen Changqing uttered a soft sound of surprise, seemingly taken aback.

He was no stranger to Rujie; when they first met, they were both at the Core Formation stage.

At that time, Rujie took the initiative to approach Chen Changqing and invited Chen Changqing to deal with the Ghost Cultivator, Granny Ghost, in that small town.

Later, the two met again while participating in the trials of the Dao Sect Universe Secret Realm.

Within the Secret Realm, with Chen Changqing's help, Rujie successfully found the Buddhist Sect lineage.

Not long ago, Chen Changqing followed Hua Xing to the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, where he encountered Rujie once again at the Nine Provinces Auction.

The two also attended the auction together.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing came to his senses and looked at Ran Hua:

"Go and bring him to see me!"

"Yes, Holy Son!"

Ran Hua bowed in agreement and quickly left.

Meanwhile, outside the gate of Evergreen Peak.

Rujie waited anxiously, not far away, two powerful Demon Kings, Black Bear and Mystic Serpent, vigilantly locked onto Rujie.

What's going on?

"Anyone who didn't know better would think we'd come to the territory of the Demon Race!"

"Two powerful Demon Kings guarding the mountain gate?"

"How did Changqing manage that?"

"And what about the Shu Mountain Sacred Land? Aren't they going to do anything about it?"

Rujie paced back and forth, he muttered to himself.

With a warrant given to him by his master, he easily entered the Inner Sect of Mount Shu.

To everyone's surprise, they were stopped at the gate of Evergreen Peak.

The key point is that what's stopping him are two powerful Demon Kings, who are equivalent to Nascent Soul Human Race Cultivators.

Because he had previously received Buddhist Sect teachings from the Universe Secret Realm, Rujie had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Otherwise, he would probably still be struggling at the Golden Core Realm!

"Monk."

"Are you very familiar with my owner?"

At this moment, the Mystic Serpent suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Rujie Jie grinned and quickly said:

To be honest...

"This humble monk and Benefactor Changqing are sworn brothers who have gone through thick and thin together!"

"Before you even joined him, we were already out there fighting demons and upholding justice!"

"By the way, sister, may I not know your honorable name?"

Rujie stared straight at the Mystic Serpent.

Although the Mystic Serpent is a great demon, it is beautiful, alluring, and captivating when it transforms into human form!

Seeing the Rujie look in Ru Jie's eyes, Mystic Serpent She frowned and said coldly:

"Little monk!"

You have wicked intentions!

"If you dare look at me like that again, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Upon Rujie immediately shifted his gaze from the Mystic Serpent and began chanting Buddhist mantras:

"Amitabha Buddha!"

"This humble monk is devoted to Buddhism; the seven emotions and six desires are nothing but fleeting clouds to me."

"I merely inquired about the lady's name; there was no ill intent involved."

Mystic Serpent's face darkened, and he didn't pay much attention to Rujie, but deep down he felt that this monk was different from the other monks.

The Black Bear remained indifferent, paying no attention to their conversation.

Not long after, Ran Hua returned.

"Master Rujie, please follow me to Evergreen Peak!"

Rujie hearing this, Jie was naturally delighted and, led by Ran Hua, headed towards Chen Changqing.

Not long after, Rujie, led by Ran Hua, met Chen Changqing, who was sunbathing.

"Changqing Benefactor!!"

Upon seeing Chen Changqing, Rujie was overjoyed and rushed forward.

Chen Changqing glanced at Rujie and joked:

"You restless monk, why aren't you chanting scriptures and meditating in Heavenly Sound Temple? What are you doing here in Mount Shu?"

While others might not know this, Chen Changqing was aware that although Rujie came from Heavenly Sound Temple and was a monk, he was not a proper monk.

"Changqing Benefactor!"

"Getting into your Holy Son Peak feels much harder than getting into the Inner Sect Mount Shu."

"Those two powerful Demon Kings..."

Before he could finish speaking, Rujie suddenly froze, staring intently at Chen Changqing, his eyes filled with overwhelming shock.

"Um?"

Seeing Rujie's appearance, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and asked in confusion:

"Rujie?"

Are you alright? Why did you stop halfway through your sentence?

"Gurgle!"

Upon hearing this, he swallowed hard, his face filled with Rujie, and said:

"Changqing, you... you've broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm?"

When he said this, Rujie somewhat incredulous.

You should know that he and Chen Changqing had met at the Nine Provinces Auction not long ago.

At that time, Chen Changqing was only at the Half-Step Spirit Transformation stage.

But how much time has passed?

Chen Changqing had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, which Ru Rujie found unbelievable.

Seeing that Rujie was shocked by his cultivation level, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:

"It was just a lucky breakthrough!"

"Lucky?"

Rujie was stunned, looking astonished, and said:

"How come you always manage to break through by sheer luck?"

As he spoke, Rujie Jie forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart. Every time he saw Chen Changqing, he was always shocked.

In particular, Chen Changqing's cultivation speed is ridiculously fast!

Even he, who prides himself on being Buddhist Sect genius, admits his inferiority!

Chen Changqing didn't seem to care about Rujie's shock, and changed the subject by asking:

"Oh, right."

"Why are you here at Evergreen Peak instead of peacefully cultivating at Heavenly Sound Temple?"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Rujie paused for a moment, his lips moving incessantly, but he didn't say anything.

"Um?"

Seeing Rujie's hesitant and awkward manner, as if he had something difficult to say, Chen Changqing frowned and said:

If you don't tell me.

"I'm going back to sleep now!"

As he spoke, Chen Changqing yawned, making a gesture as if he was about to leave.

Upon Rujie quickly waved his hand before speaking:

"No, no!!"

"I have come to see you, Changqing, because I have a favor to ask."

"I hope that Benefactor Changqing, considering our past friendship, can help this humble monk!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing rolled his eyes at Rujie, feigning impatience.

"Speak quickly!"

"I hate you bald guys the most. You ramble on and on, never getting to the point."
