Xiluo, full of prejudice

You really are—

Wu Zhen stared silently at Yinglong for a long time without saying a word.

She had considered that Yu might have encountered some trouble, which was why he had disappeared for so long.

But she never expected that Yu Guo would be possessed by a powerful Ghost God, with only a wisp of his divine consciousness remaining attached to the [Red Eye Cauldron].

This last vestige of divine consciousness wasn't even intentionally left behind by Yu Guo.

If Li Boyang hadn't added the leaves of the Immortality Tree as an ingredient when refining the elixir, Yu Guo's will would never have been able to revive from the [Red Eye Cauldron].

"I'll say it again, I can't let the Celestial Person banish me from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range just to help you."

"After all, I've already established a foothold here, and I quite like the atmosphere."

As he said this, Wu Zhen glanced around Flying Sky Stockade, his eyes filled with genuine joy.

Flying Sky Stockade was built from scratch, gradually developing with the help of Wu Zhen.

It started as a purely grain trade.

Today, gliding suits can be sold as "products".

Flying Sky Stockade is developing a future that is different from other villages, thanks to its unique advantages.

Wu Zhen's next step is to combine this prototype aircraft with Maxims Talismans, incantations, and even weapon-forging techniques to create a truly long-lasting, single-unit aircraft.

By then, this type of single-unit aircraft will become a unique industry in Flying Sky Stockade.

This sense of accomplishment, unlike that of agricultural development, was enough to prevent Wu Zhen from doing anything that might offend Li Boyang.

"Wu Zhen, do you already know something?"

Yu Guo's voice rang out again, but this time it sounded somewhat helpless.

Just as Wu Zhen never expected Yu to be possessed.

Before arriving here, Yu had considered that Wu Zhen would try to seize the [Red Eye Cauldron], and he also considered that the other party would not believe his words at all.

But to his surprise, Wu Zhen rejected him again and again.

"I know nothing, and I don't want to know anything."

Shaking his head decisively again, Wu Zhen was too lazy to argue with Yinglong and Yu Guo any longer, and turned to leave.

Since Yu had failed to convince himself, Wu Zhen naturally did not want to stay any longer.

The longer you spend with these two, the higher the chance of attracting the attention of that Celestial Person, and naturally, the greater the possibility of getting into trouble.

"Your name is Wu Zhen, right?"

Just then, Yinglong, who had regained control of his body, spoke.

"These mechanical devices you create will eventually require the use of weapon-forging techniques, right?"

"I can exchange my knowledge of weapon crafting with you!"

"And if you don't agree to our request, I'll come looking for you every night from now on!"

"Believe me, if Yu and I are exposed, the peace you desire will not come."

Upon hearing Yinglong's words, Wu Zhen immediately stopped in her tracks, and her gaze towards him turned dangerous.

"You little brat, are you threatening me?"

Having been pampered by a group of great shamans since childhood, Wu Zhen hates nothing more than being threatened.

"No, I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact."

Completely ignoring Wu Zhen's fierce gaze, Yinglong continued speaking calmly.

"You want to keep your peaceful life, and I don't want all that messy stuff to affect my family."

"So we are now in an equal exchange, not me unilaterally begging you."

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Wu Zhen began to seriously examine Yinglong for the first time.

Although the other party is still young, he has already shown great promise, and even demonstrated more courage and determination Yu Guo.

"Long Huanzi, you're so argumentative and unreasonable, I'm starting to admire you a little."

"You said you'd exchange your knowledge of weapon crafting with me, but as far as I know, you haven't yet formally become a disciple of Celestial Person, have you?"

Hearing that Wu Zhen's tone had softened, Yinglong finally showed a faint smile.

"Since you know me, you should know that Yinjiao and I are friends."

"Yinjiao is a disciple of the Celestial Person, and specializes in weapon crafting. If you have any questions for me, I can relay them to her."

"If even she can't handle it, then we can relay the message to the Celestial Person."

Yinglong's pie-in-the-sky plan was very well-made and appealing.

But Wu Zhen clearly had no intention of eating the cake, and even less did she want to bother Li Boyang with such a trivial matter.

"No need for all that trouble. You can learn from Yinjiao, and then come back to teach me in the evenings."

"In exchange, I can also teach you how to use the power of the Red Eye Cauldron."

At this point, Wu Zhen paused slightly before continuing with a half-smile.

"After all, that old monster Yu Guo came to me precisely because I could use the Red Eye Cauldron to 'see through all things,' right?"

"I will teach you how to use the power of the Red Eye Cauldron; go and investigate what you want to know for yourself."

"In that case, what you see or do is none of my concern."

"Even if Celestial Person ask about it someday, don't say I'm your teacher. We just made a fair deal."

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Li Household Village.

"That Wu Zhen guy is getting more and more cunning!"

Looking at the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] spread out in front of him, Li Boyang muttered something to himself, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"I told you long ago, a troublemaker like her should be kicked out of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

Without a sound, Xiluo's figure emerged from under the moonlight.

Dressed in feathered robes, Xiluo looked like a fairy who had stepped out of the Moon Palace, bathed in moonlight.

Of course, this is on the premise that we have to ignore Xiluo's impatient expression and her vulgar action of plopping down on the stone bench opposite Li Boyang.

Even though she has taken on a human form, Xiluo is still the same Xiluo.

His behavior was characterized by a rough and barbaric manner, showing no regard for his image whatsoever.

"Why do I feel like you have even more prejudice against Wu Zhen than Lu Yatou does?"

It's an open secret that Xiluo dislikes Lu Huaijin; she always believed that the girl would definitely cause a big disaster in the future.

But Wu Zhen only met Xiluo twice.

Li Boyang couldn't understand why the other party had such a strong opinion about Wu Zhen.

"It's not prejudice, you shouldn't have let her stay in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range in the first place."

Staring at the image reflected in the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land], Xiluo retorted irritably.

"Look, she says she doesn't want to cause trouble, but she's actually starting to teach Yinglong how to use the power of the Red Eye Cauldron."

"And that Yu Guo, I suspect his motives are definitely not as simple as he claims."

"Only that brat Yinglong can't tell right from wrong; he listened to his slander."
