After Favorability Is Maxed

332 Welcome Back

“Alright, alright, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Liu Yuan retreated in defeat under Little Phoenix’s clear and innocent eyes. He raised his hand and sighed. “I’ll tell you more about you, and you’ll probably recover some of your memories… I guess.”

Ling Guang blinked her eyes and nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Liu Yuan reached out to stroke her head and said, “Come back with me first. I’ll tell you some general knowledge on the way. I’ll also need to catch up with the general news.”

!!

Ling Guang hugged him and revealed a gentle smile. She said softly, “I’ll go wherever you go.”

If only she was really so obedient… He was afraid that Little Phoenix was just pretending.

Liu Yuan deeply suspected that the seemingly ignorant Little Phoenix had said everything on purpose. Otherwise, how could she have tricked him every time?

However, he could only keep this guess in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

If it was really on purpose, since she could easily ‘save’ Liu Yuan, she could also just as easily get him into trouble.

Especially since there were still a bunch of women to deal with when they returned. If she were to use her power again, Liu Yuan would have to run away.

Liu Yuan’s heart ached, but he still had to coax the Little Phoenix in front of him. He reached out to hug her, but his hand suddenly touched the feathers on her back. They were soft and warm, probably at the root of her wings.

“Hiss~”

Liu Yuan was taken aback and knew that something was wrong. He coughed twice and retracted his hand. He carefully touched the center of her back and coaxed her as if nothing had happened. “Alright, let’s put on a disguise for now. You’re too conspicuous.”

Ling Guang’s gaze was fixed on Liu Yuan, and her gaze looked a little disappointed, but she still obediently kept her wings and wrapped herself up. Her wings then turned into a red hooded cloak and covered her entire body.

Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Although red was still quite eye-catching, among Immortal cultivators, this kind of dressing was pretty simple and unadorned.

It was only the gamers’ appearances that were extremely eye-catching.

Of course, the clothes were secondary. The real problem was the players’ faces.

Liu Yuan activated the Mirror Moon Jade and changed into a new appearance. He took out the Geomancy Map and took a look, then brought Ling Guang to the Green Centipede.

During these seven days, he had been isolated from the world in the Nirvana Secret Realm. The outside world should have been in turmoil. Naturally, he had to see how the Mansion Master had done.

In the end, buying information would be the most efficient route. He still had quite a lot of spirit stones, and the information on each transaction was not very in-depth. After paying for information several times, he roughly understood the movements of the Central Plains during this period of time.

The Jade Mirage Sect was still in a chaotic situation.

Faced with the doubts of the Green Centipede and the seven great sects, the three palaces refused to accept it. After the Sea Slashing Tower’s Messenger arrived, they had no choice but to cooperate. In addition, Sect Master Sheng’e suddenly became tough and dismissed the Vast Sea Palace Master, Zhi Chunqiu. They temporarily removed Ling Hua’s identity as a traitor and began searching for her whereabouts.

However, the Bi Luo Mansion was meticulous in its work. They had destroyed all their traces at the Spirit Transformation River. Naturally, they did not give themselves away.

… However, who would have known that their Mansion Master would be directly captured?

However, this was only a temporary peace. After that, the branch of the demonic sect was destroyed, and their attacks were reduced. The Jade Mirage Sect was no longer in a panic, and the Sea Slashing Tower’s Messenger had gone out and did not return. This caused the three palaces to be reinvigorated.

It was probably under the instructions of the Vast Sea Palace Master that the three palaces began to claim that the Green Centipede and the other seven sects were interfering in the internal affairs of the Jade Mirage Sect. They once again entered a stalemate with the representatives of the seven sects.

At the same time, the seven sects were constantly being assassinated by Bi Luo Mansion, so they had no time to take care of themselves.

On the surface, Bi Luo Mansion was still cooperating with Zhi Chunqiu, so these things must have been requested by Zhi Chunqiu.

“This Vast Sea Palace Master is just trying to drag out the time.”

Liu Yuan came to an obvious conclusion, but the problem was, why did he want to waste time?

The current situation of the Jade Mirage Sect should be more and more disadvantageous to him. He should have cut to the chase and continued to hold the impartation and monument rubbing, making Ling Hua lose the opportunity to become the Sect Master. With his position in the Jade Mirage Sect, it would not be difficult to solve the problem as long as he worked with the other two palaces.

As for the Bi Luo Mansion, they could do as Netherworld had planned. They could sow discord between the other two palaces and work together to create chaos in them.

Judging from the information, Bi Luo Mansion was indeed doing this. The other two palaces had also started to stir up their internal conflicts.

However, Zhi Chunqiu was the only one who had been imprisoned in a state of reflection. It was as if he had suddenly been removed from the matter. Only the cangming Palace’s frequent contact with the chihuo and Fusong palaces had concealed his movements.

“What does he want to do?”

Liu Yuan frowned. He knew the strategic plans of Bi Luo Mansion like the back of his hand. He could tell at a glance that because Zhi Chunqiu was not in a hurry, he did not have much cooperation with Bi Luo Mansion. He did not play a big role in this.

‘He’s trying to avoid working with Bi Luo Mansion. He might have noticed that something is wrong with Bi Luo Mansion.’ Liu Yuan pondered for a while and decided to go to Wuyin Cliff to verify the situation.

He did not know much about the internal strife of the Jade Mirage Sect, but Zhi Chunqiu’s role in it was definitely not simple. He could be said to be the final boss of the Jade Mirage Sect’s mission and wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.

On the way back to Wuyin Cliff with Ling Guang, Liu Yuan even heard the news of the rebirth of the Phoenix and the abolition of the sect rules.

The speed at which the news spread was extremely fast.

However, Liu Yuan’s existence had been erased from the news. It was likely that the Mythical Flame Sect had sealed their mouth internally… After all, there was still some erotic news involved. It would not be good if the outside world thought that the sect rules were abolished because the sect’s higher-ups were having illicit relationships between men and women.

Previously, he had deliberately let Zhiying represent the demonic sect and for Netherworld to represent the Bi Luo Mansion, cooperating in the search for the Nirvana Secret Realm. He had deliberately leaked some news to deceive people’s eyes and ears. Originally, the news had caused an uproar. Now that the Mythical Flame Sect had taken the lead, it actually made the Mythical Flame Sect even more famous.

For a moment, the Mythical Flame Sect was in the limelight and seemed to be catching up to the Jade Mirage Sect.

However, this had nothing to do with Liu Yuan, who had retired after his success.

When Liu Yuan returned to Wuyin Cliff and saw Ling Hua again, the beautiful Taoist nun was still standing in the courtyard. Her eyes lit up and she hugged him happily. She said softly, “Welcome back.”

Liu Yuan stroked the long hair of the Jade Mirage Senior Sister in his arms, and a sandalwood fragrance lingered around the tip of his nose, making him feel at ease. He thought to himself that the feeling of having someone waiting for him was really not bad.

“My Husband, who is she?”

The Little Phoenix took off her hood, her black hair flowing, and the room was full of beauty.

Liu Yuan’s smile suddenly froze.
