33: Dialogue with Chen Nanzhi

Chen Nanzhi nodded.

Lin Sheng thought she was about to leave, but unexpectedly, she only took a small step forward before stopping again.

"I was almost affected by that pill and forgot the main business..."

She mumbled something like that indistinctly.

Then she turned around, her expression becoming serious: "Just now, the Sect Leader convened an Elder meeting, where the contribution your great enlightenment brought to the Holy Land was discussed. After discussion, we finally decided to give you an Enlightenment Tree."

"Enlightenment Tree?"

Lin Sheng raised his eyebrow, his face full of surprise: "No, I remember our Holy Land only has two Enlightenment Trees, right? One is in the Ten Thousand Demons' Graveyard, and one is with the Sect Leader..."

"Yes, the Sect Leader felt that keeping that one was a waste of resources, so it's just right to give it to you as a reward. He said that even if it allows you to have another enlightenment in the future, it's worth it."

"So that's how it is."

"Since you chose to stay on Tianyun Mountain, I'll bring the Enlightenment Tree to Tianyun Mountain later?"

"Okay, I'll trouble Master then."

Chen Nanzhi waved her hand indifferently.

She stared at Lin Sheng for a long time. Under his puzzled gaze, she pursed her lips and considered, "Do you... want to go out?"

"Go out?"

"Actually... the main topic of this Elder meeting was the 10,000th birthday of Li Qiankun, the head of the Li Family in the East Sea. Our Holy Land received an invitation and plans to send me with gifts."

The Li Family in the East Sea is the head of the Ten Immortal Families.

They are renowned throughout the entire cultivation world.

Chen Nanzhi tucked the hair by her cheek behind her ear, looked away, and added somewhat casually: "This round trip might take five days. If you don't have anything important to do in the next few days, it would be good to go with me and take a look around."

"See more of the world and broaden your experience."

Lin Sheng stroked his chin.

If he remembered this plot correctly, wasn't it Grand Elder Tianhai Longyue that the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land sent?

Why did it change?

"For things like this, doesn't our Holy Land usually send the Grand Elder?" Lin Sheng looked curious.

"Oh, about that."

Chen Nanzhi smiled, a hint of speechlessness appearing on her face: "Early this morning, the Grand Elder received a message from her family."

"Saying that the Dragon Emperor's reincarnation is in danger, and the Dragon Clan Chief is gathering the Dragon Clan to go and support the situation."

"Each dragon species is required to send at least one person, and among their Azure Mist Sky Dragon species, she is the one who has achieved some fame, so she was asked to go back."

Chen Nanzhi still remembered.

That so-called Dragon Emperor's reincarnation was determined to join the Blood Sea Sect, and then he was taken away by an Elder from Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

Thinking of that young man, she suddenly felt speechless.

After listening to what Chen Nanzhi said, Lin Sheng understood instantly.

So it was Chu Tianze's premature exposure of his Dragon Emperor reincarnation identity that caused the plot change...

"That's fine too."

Recalling his thoughts, Lin Sheng nodded in response: "I really don't have anything important going on recently, so when do we depart?"

"We still need to prepare gifts today, we'll depart tomorrow."

"Okay."

Chen Nanzhi finally had nothing else to say, she strode out the door and disappeared.

Lin Sheng, on the other hand, stroked his chin, showing an expectant expression.

It seems...

Tomorrow, he'll be able to meet two new Heavenly Mandated Protagonists.

In the original work, the first appearance of Heavenly Mandated Protagonist Li Fei and Heavenly Mandated Protagonist Lan Ao was at that birthday banquet.

Lin Sheng was very much looking forward to how much collapse value he could earn then...

On the bed not far away.

Sensing that the Second Elder had left, the Sheng Long'er, who had been pretending to sleep, acted as if she was waking up, getting up with a series of " Eeyeeah" sounds and stretching.

"Huh? Master."

She walked up to Lin Sheng, pretending not to know, and stared at the bottle in his hand with a curious expression: "What's this? Is it a pill?"

"......"

Lin Sheng shook his head and chuckled lightly, placing the bottle aside casually.

The sun rose in the east, and sunlight spread across the mountains.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the trees onto the grass, reflecting a golden hue on the tender green blades. In the dense forest, one could vaguely see some rabbits about to gain sentience chasing each other.

Lin Sheng and Sheng Long'er moved two chairs and sat outside the small wooden house, enjoying this leisurely time together.

Unexpectedly—

[Ding!]

A system message suddenly popped up before him!

[Heavenly Mandated Protagonist No. 1, Chu Tianze, has triggered a life event!]

[Event Name: Chu Tianze is trapped in the Holy Land, Dragon Clan arrives at the Holy Land to welcome the Dragon Emperor's reincarnation]

[Location: Cangxuan Continent · Xuanzhou Heavenly Evolution Holy Land · Holy Land Main Hall]

[Event Summary: After Chu Tianze was forcibly captured and brought to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, he kept muttering about being a member of the Blood Sea Sect and seeking revenge against Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.]

[In order to make him change his mind, Heavenly Evolution Holy Land sent people to completely exterminate the Blood Sea Sect and showed him the many advantages of the Holy Land, hoping he would yield to reality.]

[Unexpectedly, this not only failed to make Chu Tianze recognize reality but instead made him hate Heavenly Evolution Holy Land even more.]
