Oh, she really tried her best.

"I'm always running away." She thought of the next few lives, and she deceived herself that if she didn't see it, she wouldn't be bothered.

But it was not until I saw this bracelet again today that I realized that I was still concerned about my Master.

What an injustice...

When she was feeling depressed, a shadow in front of her blocked out the moonlight in the night sky.

"I'll return this thing to you." Zhao Kangping handed the blue gem to the woman.

The woman raised her head, and a soft blue light came into her sight.

She looked at the thing in the man's hand with some disbelief.

[What? You're going to give it back to her?]

(Yes, I said it before, I just borrowed it.)

[Are you stupid? It's already in your hands, why would you let it go? ]

(I promised to return it to her when I was done with it.)

[I thought you were just tricking her, why are you really doing it?]

(This is my decision, don't worry about it.)

[You...you will definitely regret this.]

Ah Shui was irritated by him, but she was just a remnant soul and really couldn't influence his choice. She could only leave such a sentence and then thought to herself that she would ignore him for a long time.

Wang Xiaoyue didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she asked in confusion, "Why?"

But she still spoke with her mouth, and Zhao Kangping didn't hear her.

Zhao Kangping did not understand lip reading, so he did not withdraw his hand. The precious jade lay in his open palm for a long time.

The Painting Fairy secretly communicated with Wang Xiaoyue: "Why don't you answer it?"

"Are you worried that he might do something?"

"I checked and there is no such problem."

Wang Xiaoyue wiped the tears from her face and put the bracelet back into the storage ring.

She then said, "Why do you want to give it back to me? It's yours once you've taken it. Why are you giving it back to me?"

The woman was also a bit stubborn. She received compensation that she thought was very valuable.

It doesn’t matter whether I get this blue gem back or not.

However, Zhao Kangping said MMP but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

He is deaf now, why do you keep talking? Transmit your voice so that he can hear you.

It would be so embarrassing if he had to ask if he was deaf now.

He could only patiently transmit his voice: "Miss, let's communicate through voice transmission."

When these words were spoken, Wang Xiaoyue was stunned at first. She looked around, thinking that someone was eavesdropping nearby.

In the end, no one else was found, but it is possible that there was someone who could block her detection, but this man discovered it.

"I am from the Holy Land of Ziyang, and now I am the mayor of Chuanliu City. My last name is Zhao Kangping. May I know your name?" After a long time, he still didn't know the other person's name. He couldn't just call her little cat.

When the woman learned that he was from Zi Yang Holy Land, she was slightly surprised and recalled the days when she was there.

To sum it up, it's heartbreaking. No matter which side she stands on, she's doomed. It's really a headache.

But she didn't remember hearing the name Zhao Kangping when she was in Ziyang Holy Land.

In fact, this is not surprising. In her previous two lives in the Zi Yang Holy Land, Zhao Kangping, the master of the Yaohua Palace, rarely moved around in the holy land. Wang Xiaoyue spent most of her time practicing and meditating at that time, so she could not meet him at all.

Crucially, he died before the story began. By the time she became active, he was long gone. Because the Holy Lord was reluctant to discuss his sorrow, everything about him became taboo. Over time, Wang Xiaoyue never heard of his name again.

The fact that this man actually wanted to return the things to himself showed that he was not a greedy person.

This improved her impression of him a little.

"My name is Wang Xiaoyue, Wang for three horizontal lines and one vertical line, Xiao for big and small, and Yue for moon." The girl said her name.

"Oh, it's a really easy-to-remember name." In fact, Zhao Kangping wanted to say that it was a very popular name, as if he had heard it somewhere.

After introducing each other, he got straight to the point: "I'll give this back to you."

Seeing that she didn't take it, he took the initiative to return it to her. He threw it with his hand, and the spiritual power lifted the precious jade and dropped it in front of the woman.

But Wang Xiaoyue said, "I don't want it. Carrying this thing with me will cause trouble sooner or later. I don't want it."

The man she met today might really be a good person, but what if she meets someone who wants to get the fragments of the Heavenly Dao in the future?

It's impossible to meet such kind people every time.

She didn't believe in her luck, as it had always been bad. She thought it would be better to give the things to this man, and perhaps even establish a good relationship with him.

Zhao Kangping took a few steps back and said in a voice transmission, "Don't worry, I'm not kidding you. I'm really just borrowing it."

Although he really wanted this thing, his weird stubbornness made him not want to break his promise to such a beautiful girl.

This damn sympathy for women.

The woman frowned. She could see that his attitude was not fake and he really wanted to return it to her.

But she still didn't reach out.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Zhao Kangping was finally defeated by her.

He thought of a solution and said, "How about this, you can work with me from now on, and I can keep this item for you temporarily. If you need it, I will return it to you."

Wang Xiaoyue was slightly stunned. She thought to herself, this man couldn't be trying to seduce me.

Then we can't let him succeed.

"Fellow Daoist, you think too highly of me. I don't have any aspirations, but I just want to live my life peacefully."

"So I'll just stay in Yunyan Pavilion. I don't want this thing anymore, so you can take it back."

What she wants is immortality, and it would be best if she could be less involved in cause and effect, so as to avoid too many troubles that would disturb her peace.

Even if she was staying in Yunyan Pavilion, it was only a temporary residence. If this place was not suitable for her, she would definitely move somewhere else.

"In that case, I won't force it."

If she doesn't want it, then he won't force it on her.

The bracelet did touch the woman's heart, but she and Nangong Ruyun no longer had a master-disciple relationship in this life, and there was no need for her to find a way to save the other person.

She had tried many methods, but at best they could only alleviate Master's symptoms, not cure them.

There is indeed a permanent solution in the world, and that is to have the master find a male cultivator with a yang constitution to practice dual cultivation with for a long time.

But who in the world could possibly be worthy of Master, a goddess-like figure from heaven? Master's standards were always high, and there was no way she would commit herself to a male cultivator.

So, forget it.

It would be better for her not to continue to be involved with her master.

But before that, she still had a question.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Why is that bracelet in your hand?"

She would not admit her mistake, as her master had given this thing to her before.

In this life, she did not become master and disciple with Nangong Ruyun, so it is possible that she gave it to someone else.

But why did it fall into the hands of a man?

She didn't believe that Nangong Ruyun gave it to him directly. It was more likely that she gave it to another person first, and then it was passed on to him after several changes of hands.

But Zhao Kangping replied, "This bracelet originally belonged to a fellow Taoist of mine. She had worn it for many years, and knowing that I had recently switched to practicing thunder magic, she gave it to me."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyue opened her mouth in disbelief.

No way, it shouldn't be that kind of thing.

It is impossible for Master to have a Taoist partner.

Could it be that the master gave it to his uncle, and he is his uncle's Taoist partner?

"Wait, is it okay for you to give me the things your Taoist partner gave me?"

"It's okay. She gave me a lot of things."

"..."

Chapter 394: Stubborn Lan Ruoyu

The woman didn't say anything more to Zhao Kangping. She seemed to be deliberately staying away from him.

He didn't want to continue communicating with her.

He was making a profit by just exchanging a bracelet for a fragment of the Heavenly Dao with powerful functions.

Then he didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he went on this trip with the two sisters.

"My benefactor, you are leaving so soon? It's still night. Can't you stay here tonight before leaving?" The petite woman cast him a coquettish glance calmly.

Zhao Kangping ignored her. He felt that this woman was a bit troublesome and didn't want to have any contact with her at all.

He knew what she was thinking.

Maybe after what happened that night, she had a little bit of goodwill towards him, but her emotions were mostly driven by interests.

He wouldn't accept such flattery, he's not Teddy.

Gu Qingyan knew that he was leaving, and almost immediately dropped everything she was doing and rushed over.

"Fellow Daoist, are you leaving so soon? The threat from the Li family and the Blood Demon Palace is imminent. If they attack while you are away, how can we resist?" The beautiful woman first thought of the danger they were facing and that he was really needed at this critical juncture.

Zhao Kangping knew very well that it was they who needed him now, not him who was eager to be their bodyguard.

They should have considered the consequences when they thought of dragging him into this. He had no obligation to protect them 24 hours a day. He also had his own things to do and couldn't stay here forever.

So he gave them an idea: "I remember that the Blood Demon Palace is an underground force within the Great Zhou. They have always been hiding in the dark and dare not see the light."

"Their greatest enemy is not you, nor the Blood Luo Sect far away in the Western Regions, but the Great Zhou court."

"If I tell you the location of their headquarters, maybe it will help you stabilize them temporarily."

As everyone knows, the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded by cultivators, and its royal family almost always had cultivators. The Emperor of Zhou was generally considered the most advanced cultivator in the Great Zhou court.

Most emperors cannot tolerate any forces in their country that threaten their rule.

Therefore, most of the sects in the Great Zhou were suppressed. Unless they were forces with royal backgrounds, they would either accept the imperial court's amnesty or be denounced as traitors.

Sects recruited by the Great Zhou not only had their size strictly controlled, but also came under the supervision of an inspector appointed by the Great Zhou court. This inspector wielded immense power, even directly interfering in a sect's internal affairs. Sects under scrutiny were also forced to curry favor with the inspector, with even the sect leader having to offer him a friendly welcome.

As long as a sect has a certain backbone and ambition, it will not develop within the territory of the Great Zhou.

This also led to a small number of sects within the Great Zhou, and the existing ones were mostly weak. Only one sect, Xuanyuan Academy, with royal background, dominated.

Many royal relatives and children of noble families of the Great Zhou would practice in Xuanyuan Academy.

Although Xuanyuan Academy is called an academy, it is actually a large cultivation force, similar to a sect.

However, not all sects within the Great Zhou were subservient to the imperial court.

There are exceptions, such as the Blood Demon Palace, which develops its power in secret. Speaking of this demon sect, we have to mention the once powerful top demon sect ten thousand years ago. At its peak, it almost unified the human race's cultivation forces.

But later it collapsed under the joint encirclement of the righteous parties and finally disappeared in the long river of history. Even its name was erased and no one mentioned it anymore.

But after this evil sect was defeated, it did not disappear completely, but split into three forces.

Among them, the Blood Luomen is in the Western Region, the Blood Demon Palace is in Central Continent, and the Mad God Temple is in the Northern Region.

When the Blood Demon Palace was established, the Great Zhou Dynasty wasn't yet the giant power that it is today, dominating Central Continent. Back then, Central Continent still contained many smaller nations, though most of them eventually withdrew from history.

During the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty, friction with the Blood Demon Palace was inevitable, and the bloody conflict was not just one or two times, but lasted for thousands of years.

Judging from the results, the Zhou court definitely had the upper hand.

The Blood Luomen was forced to go underground, which was a helpless move.

The blood feud between the two sides is irreconcilable, so if the Great Zhou court knew where the Blood Demon Palace's headquarters was hidden, a bloody battle would inevitably break out between the two sides.
