Chapter 518 Entering the Palace
Just when Pei Yun couldn't help but want to rush out, a voice came from the palace behind him: "Come in."
This instantly woke her up, her smile faded slightly, and the tears in her eyes disappeared.
Pei Yun tried to transmit a message to Luo Rufeng, but there was a barrier separating the two of them, and she couldn't convey any words.
Luo Rufeng, who was hiding in the crowd, also frowned and shook his head slightly at her imperceptibly, signaling her not to come out.
There was a group of people outside who were staring at her with eager eyes. As long as she stepped out of this barrier, she would be attacked and questioned by these people.
Pei Yun suppressed his deep longing and deliberately turned his eyes away, not looking in Luo Rufeng's direction, but looking around calmly.
Unexpectedly, when she glanced around, she saw the old couple was also present. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and gave them a provocative smile.
"hateful!"
"What a girl who doesn't know how to live or die!" Old Man Shi and Old Woman Jin cursed in a low voice and glared at Pei Yun fiercely.
"Should we reveal her identity? Use the Xianxia Sect and the Bishui Sect to kill her?"
"No!"
Old Lady Jin secretly transmitted a message, "If we reveal her identity, we can indeed kill this damn girl, but we will definitely not be able to obtain the treasure of the Jidao Patriarch! Years of hard work will be wasted. I now hope that she can get the treasure and escape safely. When no one is around, we will attack and kill her! You forgot, we have put the soul-chasing incense on this little girl. No matter where she escapes, we will catch her..."
On the other side, Pei Yun had already walked into the palace amidst the gnashing of teeth and helplessness of the crowd. The onlookers did not leave, and the sects that had rushed over sent their disciples and elders to heavily guard the palace. The two largest sects, Xianxia Sect and Bixia Island, occupied most of the space, waiting to capture Pei Yun as soon as he came out.
Pei Yun slowly walked into the hall, which was decorated in a simple and elegant style. She opened the wooden sliding door and parted the veil, discovering a man in purple sitting cross-legged on a cushion, playing chess alone. Upon seeing her enter, he turned around, smiled, and said, "My destined one, you're back..."
Pei Yun took a few steps forward and came in front of him and bowed, "Ancestor Jidao." She had seen the Ancestor Jidao in the Book of Fate when she was in Yuanxing, so naturally she knew him.
"Sit down." Xu Jidao invited Pei Yun to sit opposite him and personally poured her a cup of spiritual tea.
"Thank you." Pei Yun thanked her and handed her the letter that Xu Jidao's other consciousness in the book of fate had given her before she came back.
Xu Jidao took the letter, opened it with a special trick, and read it. After a while, he looked up and smiled, "If I have to thank you, it's you. You've fulfilled my wish for me."
He continued, "...I have already recounted my experiences in the fate book. In this life, I am an ordinary person on the Source Star. Because of the karma flower given to me by Chu Mingyu, I came to the Haoyu Continent to practice and even ascend. Before ascending, I left the karma flower on Hope Island, waiting for someone with a predestined relationship to return to the Source Star on my behalf, to help the Source Star overcome the disaster, and at the same time, to search for the descendants of the Chu family, thus completing this karma..."
This life? Karma flower?
Hearing this, Pei Yun gently blew on the tea in the cup, then calmly raised his eyes and glanced at the person opposite him.
Xu Jidao naturally noticed her gaze, and he said frankly: "You guessed correctly. The 'Flower of Hope' I gave you is called the Karma Flower. You reap what you sow. The reason Chu Mingyu found me in this life and gave me the Karma Flower is also because of our grievances in the previous life..."
He paused, then flipped his hand, revealing a jade pendant. He handed it to Pei Yun, "This is the jade pendant of Li Mingyu of the Nanmo Li family in Dongcangzhou. Li Mingyu was once the patriarch of the Li family. This is not only his jade pendant, but also proof of his identity as the patriarch of the Nanmo Li family. You helped the descendants of the Chu family, so this jade pendant is given to you..."
Pei Yun took the jade pendant in surprise. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Senior Xu, is Chu Zewen's great-uncle from the Haoyu Continent? And is he from the Nanmo Li family of Dongcangzhou?"
When she was training in the Dan Shen Temple before, she had learned about the various forces in Dongcangzhou. The area of Nanmo was mostly occupied by hidden families.
If the hidden families in Nanyuezhou are small and declining families, such as the Murong family, then the hidden families that can occupy a place in Dongcangzhou must be powerful and should not be underestimated.
Xu Jidao nodded, a complex expression flashing across his eyes. "...In my previous life, Li Mingyu and I...had a conflict. After I died, I don't know what he did, but he also reincarnated to Yuanxing. He...did it so that I could return to Haoyu Continent again..."
Since it involved personal privacy, Pei Yun did not ask any further questions. The person opposite him seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past, and both sides fell silent for a while.
Fortunately, Xu Jidao quickly recovered. He stood up and looked around at the surrounding scenery, the flowers, the incense burner, the teacup, the chess pieces...
All these made him feel nostalgic, but since the destined person had come here, it proved that his consciousness could retire after accomplishing its mission!
He suppressed his emotions and returned to his usual smile: "My dear, you helped Yuan Xing overcome the disaster, helped me find the descendants of the Chu family, and successfully sent another consciousness to the descendants of the Chu family. I will give you all the treasures collected in this palace..."
Pei Yun was cheered up, as if it was a blessing from heaven. Before he could react, Xu Jidao led him to the Lingpu Garden behind the palace.
The Lingpu Garden was planted with various spiritual herbs and flowers. After Xu Jidao agreed, she took a small hoe and began to harvest...
Sixth-grade Dongru Grass, fifth-grade Lujuhua, fourth-grade Huoqiong Refining Grass, as well as precious and rare high-level spiritual medicines, second-grade Zhulan Grass, first-grade Xiansheng Grass, etc.
Pei Yun dug with his eyes shining, almost forgetting the people behind him. In the end, he even dug up the two spiritual trees in the garden...
After spending most of the day, they finally dug out everything they could. Anyway, this great ancestor had already ascended to heaven, so keeping it would be a good deal for those people outside!
Xu Jidao looked at the flower garden in front of him which was already in a mess, lowered his head and smiled, shook his head and glanced at Pei Yun, then led her to the inner room of the palace.
In addition to the treasure boxes placed on the shelves in the inner room, the most eye-catching thing is the teleportation array in the center.
When he ascended to heaven, he left half of his treasures on the Haoyu Continent. Seventy percent of these treasures were placed in the Book of Fates for the descendants of the Chu family, and the remaining thirty percent were here.
If the destined person can get the recognition of Xu Jidao's consciousness in the fate book, he will give the remaining 30% to that person.
Apparently, Xu Jidao's consciousness in the fate book was very satisfied with Pei Yun, and he specially wrote a letter for her to bring back.
The letter described how this destined person helped Yuan Xing overcome the disaster and did not develop any greed or desire to seize the heavenly-level magical tool like the Book of Life. His character was beyond his expectations.
What shocked him even more was her talent in cultivation, which was much higher than Xu Jidao's own. Generally, people like her were protected by some kind of destiny, and it was difficult to kill them, so it was best not to offend them if possible.
Xu Jidao, who had lived in the palace for many years, naturally gave all 30% of the treasures to Pei Yun, not only to repay Pei Yun, but also to make friends with Pei Yun.
He also said, "When the cave appeared in the world, it made too much noise and attracted a group of uninvited guests. You fulfilled my wish for me, and I should also fulfill my promise to you. After you take the treasures here, activate the teleportation array and leave! The teleportation array here will teleport you to my villa in Shenyu City, which is very safe..."
