Chapter 112: Chapter 90: The Junior Officer Asks for Orders, Cheng Huang Revolts!_4
"He’s upset with the Lord."
"Upset with the Lord?"
Upon hearing this, Mao Ruxue was slightly puzzled, not understanding what this so-called ’upset’ meant.
[White Impermanence] nodded, then continued:
"Ah, you are not aware, my sister."
"We three are different from those who have been nurtured by the Lord since childhood."
"’City God’ was the one who converted halfway."
"Converted halfway?" Mao Ruxue was once again perplexed, and it had never occurred to her that the term ’converted halfway’ would crop up in this context.
"Yes, converted halfway."
[White Impermanence] nodded, then began narrating as if reminiscing:
"This ’City God’ was an old demon from a hidden Great Demon Sect."
"He was always cruel and bloodthirsty, extremely violent!"
"A few years ago, when the Lord was still the ’Earth Bodhisattva,’ this old demon forcefully took residence in Rebirth Hall."
"And competed with the Lord for the position of Emperor Song."
"He lost the competition in the end."
"According to the agreement with the Lord, he was forced to stay in the Emperor Song’s palace and took up the position of the City God."
"Over the years, as the Lord’s mana and realm increased, the City God felt more fear and resentment."
"Because in his view, the Lord’s swift advancement was entirely because he seized his opportunities."
"I just never expected, he would revolt at this time."
"I apologize for the shock, Sister Earth Bodhisattva."
[White Impermanence] said this, consoling Mao Ruxue with lingering fear.
Then, she gently smiled at Mao Ruxue.
My heavens, the City God has resentment towards the Lord?
Upon hearing these words of [White Impermanence], Mao Ruxue was taken aback.
She had never imagined that the normally inconspicuous City God had such a big secret concealed within.
Moreover, he dared to harbor dissatisfaction towards the mighty Emperor Song?
How audacious must this be!
Hence, she asked curiously:
"Sister Bai, the City God dared to harbor dissatisfaction toward the Lord?"
"Does the Lord know about this?"
"He knows, he also doesn’t know." [White Impermanence] nodded, then shook her head.
This contradictory action left Mao Ruxue utterly confused.
So, does he know or does he not?
"If you ask whether the Lord knows, he definitely does."
"There is nothing happening in this place that he does not know."
"This matter of the City God is naturally the same."
"However, because the City God is good at being diplomatic, he never expressed his dissatisfaction openly."
"Therefore, the Lord doesn’t feel bothered about this matter."
"That’s why I say, he knows and he doesn’t know."
"Do you understand now, Sister Earth Bodhisattva?"
"Oh, thank you, Sister Bai, I roughly understand."
Listening to [White Impermanence], Mao Ruxue nodded.
She probably understood what was going on.
The rough idea was that Emperor Song knew about the existence of this insincere factor, the City God.
However, because the man kept his bouncing in control, hence he could not be bothered to manage him.
Mao Ruxue did not find this strange at all.
After all, for someone as supreme as Emperor Song.
Someone like the City God simply does not warrant his concern.
Then, the three of them walked on for a while.
At this time, they had already arrived at the gate of Emperor Song’s palace.
When they arrived here, they all said goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Originally, Black and White Impermanence wanted to keep Mao Ruxue in Emperor Song’s palace for some time.
After all, they had some time off recently and could take this chance to teach Mao Ruxue to handle some matters.
But Mao Ruxue politely declined their invitation and bid them farewell, stating her intention to return.
Her reasons were that she just had a breakthrough and needed some time to meditate and retreat.
Furthermore, she had matters to handle in the Nether Sea, so she needed to return as soon as possible.
Facing these reasons from Mao Ruxue, Black and White Impermanence didn’t suspect anything. After briefly thinking it over, they expressed their supports.
Moreover, they personally escorted her to the teleportation array leading directly to the Nether Sea.
Only after urging her to meditate well upon returning and reassuring her that they would send help if anything were to happen, they finally left.
However, what they didn’t know was...
Upon reaching the Nether Sea, Mao Ruxue did not go to meditate.
Instead, without rest, she found the teleportation array leading to Tianshui area, and slipped right in.
Then, within less than an hour, she traveled from the far-off headquarters of the Nether Sea to Tianshui City below Tianshui Sect.
Immediately after, she initiated her light body skill.
She directly arrived at the midway point of Daozang Mountain.
When she reached there, she looked left and right.
Only when she ascertained that nothing unusual had happened, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, with a shift of her mana, she took off her black robe.
Only after changing back into her usual clothes did she start heading to the mountaintop.
Along the way, the mountain remained as unchanged as when she left a few days ago. There was no change at all.
There was still no sign of her senior brother at the front mountain hall.
When she finally came to the library at the back mountain, she was surprised to find her senior brother lounging as if a salty fish in the courtyard of the library, reclining in a chair.
Gazing at the setting sun, with a book in his hands, he was reading attentively.
