Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

With many messy thoughts in his mind, Chu Wuzhi followed the white peacock's footsteps and walked up a spiral staircase.

Looking out from outside the stair railing, one can see most of the scenery of the royal capital, which is wealthy, stable and prosperous.

The three of them climbed the stairs in an orderly manner. Chu Wuzhi walked to the end and was in a relatively low position. When he looked up, he saw the plump backs of the two generations of saints of the Water and Fire Sect.

The two of them are similar in many ways, with a hint of holiness in their temperaments and a voluptuous figure that is the result of childbirth. Just looking at the breathtaking curve below the waist, it is like ripe fruits in late autumn, so juicy that you can squeeze out of them.

White Peacock suddenly said, "We'll be there after walking up these few flights of stairs. Sir, you're not from the Holy Fire Cult, are you? An escort agency wouldn't be able to hire someone like you."

It seems that she has found out quite a lot about the Holy Fire Cult.

Chu Wuji said calmly, "I'm a friend of Miss Guanyin, and we have a good relationship. I happened to be on my way to see the Imperial Master, so I went with her."

The female imperial tutor, who is half a generation older than Fu Guanyin, should be of an age of mature charm and beauty, but she has not let the years leave any traces on her body, as if she has just left her girlhood.

She suspected she had misheard and smiled puzzledly: "Looking for me? We've never met, why are you looking for me?"

"Actually, what I'm looking for is the black-robed woman who massacred the Jintai Temple with you. You two plus Bu Miao acted together, so where is she now?"

This really surprised Bai Kongque. There were no outsiders in Jintai Temple at that time. How could he know so much about it and have such powerful means that he could recreate the situation in Jintai Temple?

"Sir, are you going to avenge Jintai Temple?"

"That's not my intention. I was also planning to massacre Jintai Temple, but you guys got there first. Now I simply want to find that woman in black robes."

The white peacock's purple hair is slightly curled, and although it is neatly and solemnly tied behind her head, it still exudes a unique charm.

She did not answer Chu Wuji's doubts immediately, but kept it a secret:

"The black-robed woman you mentioned, her name is Xuan Yi. She is indeed working with me. As for her whereabouts... I will take you to see her after I finish talking to Guanyin Nu."

Fu Guanyin could hear Bai Kongque's little trick. He was using the small talk to understand Chu Wuji's situation and to find a point that he could "grasp" and restrain.

At the moment, she did not answer Chu Wuji, which was in disguise an effort to gain the right to speak. It seemed insignificant, but many advantages were accumulated slowly in this way.

Entering White Peacock's study, the three of them sat down calmly.

Chu Wuji did not participate in the conversation. The affairs of the Water and Fire Sect were not his business, so he just listened silently.

The female Imperial Master with purple hair and purple eyes brewed a cup of scented tea for the two of them, and then released the Mysterious Water Pearl to play freely. She said:

"Guanyinnu, how did you and Master Chu plan to approach me? A direct fight?"

"Almost. We're worried that you won't be able to see us, so we're planning to rely on the flood to slowly drown you out."

"It's quite grand. Go ahead and ask the questions you prepared."

Fu Guanyin looked down at the teacup, her face reflected on the water. She truly felt that she had come in front of the white peacock, so smoothly that she felt a little unreal.

The sinner who caused the collapse of the Water and Fire Sect and later hunted down and persecuted the Holy Fire Sect was now so generous as to invite her in for a conversation.

"White Peacock, why did you do this? You were once a highly respected saint in the Water and Fire Sect. They said you were reluctant to give up your status as a saint, but I don't believe it."

"Then I have to thank the current saint for her trust~" The white peacock smiled playfully, but he was not mocking Fu Guanyin.

Her amethyst eyes looked out the window, as if she was recalling her mood at that time so as to give the most accurate answer.

If Fu Guanyin had been preparing for this meeting for a long time, then so had Bai Kongque. She had been preparing an answer to give to the person who came to question her.

There is no doubt that the Water and Fire Sect was once a very important part of White Peacock's life, like a home.

"Because I discovered that the teachings of the Water and Fire Sect are wrong. The Water and Fire Sect thought they were being generous and oblivious, believing they were spreading happiness, but what they cultivated was only bullying and disaster."

"Why do you have such thoughts? In the past, you were the one who was most enthusiastic about spreading the Dharma, not just keeping it for yourself like you are doing today..."

Fu Guanyin looked at the former saint and found that she was not joking, her eyes were extremely serious and profound.

Although she was still young at that time, Fu Guanyin still remembered that many times the lecturer team was about to leave, and the local people and warriors were eager to keep them. White Peacock would sacrifice his rest time and continue to teach at night.

White Peacock sighed deeply. Using her own home as an example, she recounted the situation at the time and what she saw when she arrived at the scene. She said:

“…The people who gained power from the Water and Fire Cult killed all the ordinary people in the village who had no ability to resist because of the conflict.

After this incident, I tried to calm myself down and look back. If this tragedy had not happened to me, would I be so angry?

Are there many similar things happening in corners that we didn’t know about back then?”

"What if the Water and Fire Sect's selfless teachings were learned by desert bandits, robbers, or wanted criminals? What if it were learned by a tyrant in the Western Regions?"

"When a tyrant is weak, he can only abuse those around him. But if the Water and Fire Cult passes on their power to him, it's like growing even sharper fangs! This tyrant will become able to persecute people from other countries!"

"After something like this happens, what will the Water and Fire Church do? They'll sigh with regret, and then that'll be it. They'll continue to indulge in their own admiration, imagining their own kindness and how many people they've helped fight the ferocious beasts in the Yellow Sand Desert."

"This isn't selfless, this is sick!"

"And I, White Peacock, the former Saint of the Water and Fire Sect, am also one of those who are sick! And I am an outstanding one among the patients. I have become a 'Saint' because of my illness!"

Chapter 311 Encountering the Spirit of the Ancestor!

When White Peacock recounted these things, his tone was extremely calm, but his brows revealed anger and fatigue.

She examined not only the Water and Fire Sect, but also herself, who had once enjoyed it, but had been walking on the wrong and distorted path and was even complacent about it.

She was ridiculously ashamed of it.

Fu Guanyin was lost in thought. The other person's appearance had not changed much over the years, but when talking about the past events, there was finally some vicissitudes of life in his eyes.

The blonde was silent for a while, digesting the White Peacock's words. She couldn't comment on the other party's experience, so she asked for the time being:

"So, your plan is to split the Water and Fire Sect? Take the Mysterious Water Pearl and leave, bringing your group of followers to the Sun and Moon Kingdom. Don't want others to become that tyrant, so you become the kind of person you're talking about first?"

Don’t be fooled by the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere along the way after entering the royal city, but this is all the result of the suppression by the white peacock.

When the Shenshui Sect first arrived here, there must have been many opponents. If she wanted to take power, there would definitely be many local nobles who would oppose her.

All dissenting voices were killed, leading to the current situation.

The White Peacock did not deny her words, but nodded calmly, not thinking there was anything wrong with it:

"The Water and Fire Cult was wrong from the beginning, so we can't let it continue. The longer it exists, the more sins it will cause.

If the villain grows through his own opportunities, that's his own ability, but if it's the power sent by the Water and Fire Sect, then he's an accomplice!"

The female Imperial Master adjusted her sitting position, gently lifting her beautiful legs wrapped in purple stockings and changing their positions. She pointed to the Sun and Moon Kingdom outside and said:

"As for the tyrant's actions you mentioned, I'm deeply sorry. The chaos in the Western Regions continues to this day, and the Water and Fire Sect has made an indelible contribution. This is the only correct path forward!"

Fu Guanyin frowned, feeling a little shaken. She had come here to question the traitor, but ended up being left speechless by the traitor.

Although I was not convinced by the white peacock, I really couldn't find any point to refute it.

She also planned to ask, "White Peacock, you have such an experience and difficulties, why don't you discuss it with your colleagues?"

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Fu Guanyin swallowed them back. Considering Bai Kongque's situation back then, it would be irrational for her to discuss it with others.

Others may not understand her and may even start to guard against her in advance.

Bai Kongque had already made a decision at that time. With firm belief, he directly started the split of the Water and Fire Sect. His actions were swift and decisive, leaving the people of the Holy Fire Sect no room to react or maneuver.

This is also a major prerequisite for her success.

"White Peacock, so your future plan is to unify the Western Regions? Is this your ambition?"

"Otherwise? The Western Regions lack the protection of immortals, and there aren't that many fantasies here. Only a sufficiently powerful country can possibly deal with the monsters and ferocious creatures in the desert, as well as various accidents."

After Bai Kongque finished speaking, she shook her head and smiled. She had no intention of arguing with Fu Guanyin about right or wrong. She just treated this girl as a messenger to return these words to the stubborn old guys in the Holy Fire Sect.

She had no regrets about her rebellion back then, nor did she regret breaking up with her old friends. It was just that these emotions and worries had been weighing on her mind for so many years, and now she finally had the chance to speak them out. White Peacock felt a sense of ease and comfort.

"Guanyin slave, if you really think I'm wrong, don't rush to refute me. First, put aside the long-cherished wishes and unwillingness of your foolish elders. Don't think that you are carrying the mission of revival. This will harm you.

Back then, you were still young, and subconsciously believed that your father and elders were right. Now that you've grown up, you need to see for yourself. After you've seen it, come back to me, and it would be best if you could give me the Holy Fire Bead."

Fu Guanyin smiled bitterly in her heart. How could she think of words to refute?

Judging from the tone of White Peacock, she didn't even have the thought of fighting for the Holy Fire Pearl on the spot, and was ready to let go of this "fat sheep" that was right in front of her mouth.

It seems that she, Fu Guanyin, really wants to take a leisurely trip and then bring back the words to the elders living in seclusion in the oasis...

"You and Master Chu sit here. I'll go to the balcony and take a look."

White Peacock poured another cup of fragrant floral tea for the two of them, stood up, straightened his robe, and moved to the balcony next to him, seemingly to get some fresh air.

But this actually gave Fu Guanyin some time to think and calm down.

Fu Guanyin looked melancholy, but she was not too conflicted. She knew clearly that she had to do as Bai Kongque said.

She stretched out her slender fingers, gently touched Chu Wuji's sleeve, and said to him apologetically:

"Mr. Chu, I feel like... I really dragged you along on this trip for nothing, and I made you laugh."

Chu Wuji curled his lips and said comfortingly:

"What's the big deal? I'm just here to keep Miss Guanyin company. I'm not here to be her bodyguard. I have a purpose!

Besides, if it's really like what you said, and I made a fool of myself, then I've also had some fun, so how could it be a wasted trip?"

The beautiful and intelligent blonde girl smiled, feeling much better. She said with a bitter smile:

"This matter is really just as Master Chu said. Worrying about things that are too far away is just a waste of time. I didn't expect that confronting the White Peacock would be so difficult!"

"That's right. I can't think of how to refute it." Chu Wuji agreed very much. He listened carefully throughout the whole lecture.

The Sky Fox Lady squeaked and said:

"After all this time, it feels like the former Saint realized that her ideologies were different and she's set up her own business. She doesn't look like she's pursuing any selfish desires either."

Xuanyin Xingjun, drawing on his own experience in commanding the Skywrath Dragon Palace, said:

"This path, in my opinion, is not feasible. If she relies on such extraordinary power to build her career, one day her own strength will not be able to keep up, and sooner or later she will not be able to control others.

Having to cultivate while managing a bloated nation, this white peacock's flying ability had better match his ambitions."

A country that gathers many practitioners is extremely dangerous. Once chaos occurs and it collapses, the impact of the collapse will be far-reaching and lasting, and the Western Regions may end up in a worse situation than it is now.

But who can say for sure about such things?

At least the White Peacock's Divine Water Sect has not encountered any major problems until today.

Chu Wuji had previously heard about the White Peacock's hometown by chance from the ghost in the painted boat in the ghost market of Lihuo Mountain Range.

I was about to interrupt, but the atmosphere didn't seem right.

Now is the chance to talk about it.

Fu Guanyin was a messenger, bringing answers to questions from White Peacock. Chu Wuji was also a messenger, passing on news he had accidentally learned to White Peacock.

He gave Fu Guanyin a look, then stood up and walked to the balcony to speak to the female imperial teacher:

"Master, could you introduce me to the woman named 'Xuan Yi'? I want to confirm something with her.

In return, I can share with the Imperial Master an old story I overheard that concerns you."

Bai Kongque was a little surprised. She suspected that Chu Wuji had specifically inquired about her information. How could he have heard so much by chance?

What's more, the white peacock thinks he knows everything about his own affairs, so why does he need others to tell him about anything?

She did not reveal her true feelings, but said:

"Xuan Yi is out on some business, with Saint He Huan. I'm not sure when he'll be back, but there's definitely no problem introducing him to someone, and it won't cost you anything.

I wonder if you could first tell me about the old story you mentioned?"

Chu Wuji was about to speak when he suddenly said "Huh?" in confusion.

The temperature in the entire area was rising, the marble buildings were gradually becoming hot, and water vapor was evaporating into smoke, just like a stinky foot that had been kept in the air for most of the day was suddenly taken out, and white mist was visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, several creepy baby cries were heard, very loudly, coming from outside the city.

"The baby from the Sun and Moon Country cries so loudly and powerfully?" Chu Wuji was surprised and admired.

The white peacock looked confused. Both the high temperature and the sudden crying sound were abnormal!

Where would this kind of noise normally happen?

She was about to call her subordinates to find out what happened outside when Fu Guanyin ran over first.

The slim blonde said with a serious expression:

"Goddess Sky Fox just said that we have encountered the spirit of our ancestors. We need to leave the city quickly to check it out. If we are late, it might be gone."
