At Steward Zhao's words, Chen Lü's expression shifted slightly. He pondered for a long while, but for the moment, said nothing.
The cultivators of the Eastern Sea all knew that Little Sage Yunlang's recent unpleasantness with Rou Xuan Prefecture was closely connected to Chen Lü.

Was that this played right into Chen Lü's hands!
Even his chance encounter with Little Sage Yunlang had been deliberately arranged, with him scheming while she remained unaware!
Little Sage Yunlang was a great demon king of the Eastern Sea, and she and Madam Shan Miao were sworn sisters.
