20: Let Ying escort you away safely

And at this moment.

Kneeling before Cizhai Jingren was precisely her disciple, the "White Phoenix Saintess" of the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land—Mu Xianyan!

This Saintess, hailed as the "Most Beautiful in the Four Great Holy Lands," possessed a Celestial Immortal-like countenance.

Just like her name.

The day she first arrived at the Holy Land, she instantly captivated the male disciples with her stunningly beautiful face and curves that sparked imagination.

The male disciples sweetly called her "Junior Sister" one after another, being exceptionally friendly to this newcomer beauty, helping here and there...

No one expected.

In less than a week, this new Junior Sister was taken as a disciple by Cizhai Jingren because she was tested to possess the noble and powerful White Phoenix bloodline.

And during their travels outside, she luckily obtained a White Phoenix egg and successfully nurtured the auspicious divine beast—the White Phoenix.

Then, quite naturally, she was nominated for the position of Saintess of the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land, which had been vacant for decades.

At this moment.

Looking at her Master, who was as steady as a mountain, Mu Xianyan slightly furrowed her delicate brows, and a look of anxiety appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Master."

She leaned her slender body forward slightly and softly pleaded, "Please let me go to the main hall. Ye Liufeng saved me before, and at that time, I promised that if he ever faced difficulty in the future, I would definitely save him once. I cannot break my word."

Cizhai Jingren slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were like clear oceans, seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

After just a glance at her anxious disciple, she closed them again.

"Since it's a promise, you must keep it."

She opened her eyes again, her tone calm: "I will give you 'Shadow,' let her escort you safely away."

"The guards outside the main hall are all your Senior Brothers; they won't stop you."

"Okay! Thank you, Master!"

Mu Xianyan turned and quickly left.

Watching her retreating figure, Cizhai Jingren took a deep breath.

Her shadow flowed out like a pool of black mud, transforming into a black-robed figure the same height as her, who knelt and clasped her fists: "This servant will go protect the Saintess now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately transformed into a shadow on the ground and vanished.

Within the empty meditation room, only this pure and holy beautiful Elder remained.

...

Meanwhile, in the small wooden house on Tianyun Mountain.

After receiving the news that the Sect Leader would be publicly punishing the Former Holy Son later, Lin Sheng smiled slightly.

"Master, do you think someone will go save the Former Holy Son?"

Sheng Long'er, dressed in thin black gauze, sat by the table, leisurely swinging her fair and tender jade feet while putting grapes into her mouth.

"There definitely will be."

Lin Sheng walked to the door, looking at the lush forest that had grown after his great enlightenment, and chuckled lightly: "Abolishing Ye Liufeng's cultivation and banishing him from the Holy Land might succeed, but it's definitely impossible to truly kill him."

"Most likely, someone will come to save him before he is punished."

"Oh~"

Sheng Long'er nodded thoughtfully.

"Then, Master, aren't you going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Plaza now? There are so many people waiting there for you and the Saintess; they are all very curious about who among you will win."

"No rush."

Lin Sheng turned around and walked back to the bed, sitting down cross-legged on it.

"I still need to comprehend another cultivation technique; maybe I can use it later."

"Okay! Long Er will protect you!"

Sheng Long'er quickly licked her fingers, then flashed out of the door with a swish and it closed automatically.

Just a second later, Sheng Long'er's shouts could be heard from outside.

"Master needs to rest! You need to pay attention to the surroundings and guard this small wooden house!"

She didn't know what she was talking to; Lin Sheng only heard the sound of leaves rustling.

Have those trees become spirits?

Without thinking further, Lin Sheng began to take out the necklace and probe it with his divine sense.

He began to comprehend the Demon God Seven Edicts within it!

His eyes closed, his expression began to change.

At first, the visible tension quickly turned into surprise, shock, and then after about a few seconds of apprehension, the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted, and his face showed delight.

But soon, he sighed lightly again, and his face became tense again...

Tension, apprehension, joy, confusion, great joy...

From then on, his expression kept switching between these states.
