Chapter 463: Chapter 175: Mao Ruxue descends the mountain, Asura Puxian is positioned!_1
"This lass."
While Xian Yurong was immersed in her cultivation, Chen Chang’an didn’t sleep. Instead, he swept over Xian Yurong’s room with his divine sense, appearing thoughtful.
"Boy, are you really not going to intervene?" Shen Xuzi popped out, asking in confusion.
"I can’t help but admire your guts, boy. You actually dare to let that woman stay here."
"What harm could keeping her here do? Could she really hinder me?" Hearing Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an chuckled lightly.
Er..!
Seeing Chen Chang’an’s slightest chuckle, Shen Xuzi was quickly silenced, because he suddenly realized that the person before him was a terrifying figure.
Indeed, he had been so frightened by that woman that he almost forgot this essential fact.
"Huh? What is this? How did my mask suddenly change?"
Meanwhile, in another chamber, Mao Ruxue, who had just returned to her room, suddenly cried out in surprise.
No other reason, just that she found her mask had changed. It had turned from its original black to a current moon-silver color, and some silver threads that flowed in curls added to the mask.
This didn’t seem like a mask that an organization like the Rebirth Hall would own, on the contrary, it was much like the masks which wealthy ladies use as accessories.
"What is this? Did Emperor Song upgrade it for me?!"
Upon picking up the mask and taking a look, Mao Ruxue was instantly taken aback.
She didn’t know about other places, but in the Rebirth Hall, the mask held a significant meaning.
The primary purpose of the mask was not to hide one’s identity, but to symbolize it!
In the Rebirth Hall, the higher the person’s rank, the higher the class of the mask.
A black mask like hers, though considered high-end in the Rebirth Hall, still fell short of the top tier.
But now, this silver threaded mask, a specially made one, represented the highest rank.
Whether it was the highest rank in the main hall of the Rebirth Hall or not, Mao Ruxue did not know, but in the court of Emperor Song, it was the highest!
This was a change in status, unrelated to position!
When she was first made the Earth Bodhisattva, although she was also a major official of the underworld, compared to the City God, who has jurisdiction over all four offices, her position was somewhat inferior.
But now, there was no such difference.
This was surely a shocking development.
"But, why did Emperor Song suddenly upgrade me?"
After the shock came the confusion.
Mao Ruxue was puzzled. She had not done anything significant recently, and yet she had easily gained the approval of Emperor Song, her highest superior, which was utterly baffling.
"Could it be because of the position of Human Path Dao Master?"
Suddenly, a thought crossed Mao Ruxue’s mind. It was about the initiation of the Human Path Dao Master that was taking place in a few days.
Human Path Dao Master, a position that Chen Chang’an had assigned to Mao Ruxue when he first accomplished the Six Daos. And the time for her to formally take on this position was in a few days.
This was why Mao Ruxue had initially sought out Chen Chang’an to say that she needed to take a leave of absence for a while.
"It must be because of this." After some thought, Mao Ruxue couldn’t think of any other reason.
"It seems that I must take the work of the Human Path Dao Master seriously."
Lifting her head to gaze at the starry night sky outside the window, Mao Ruxue supported her cheek with one hand, whispering to herself.
When she first joined the Rebirth Hall, she didn’t think too much about it and was only interested in the Dao Source Stone for cultivation.
But everything changed uncontrollably after she was taken to meet Emperor Song four years ago.
First, from a small, insignificant official, she suddenly became the Earth Bodhisattva, ruling over a realm. Then came the successive gifts from Emperor Song, the [Pure Land Sutra], "Yin Yang Secret Canon", true demon ninth turn, and even the chance of a true king.
All these things, one after another, were overwhelming.
But, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing to have so many of them. If it were earlier, Mao Ruxue would have happily welcomed them all.
But not now. Her senior brother, who was originally ’almost dead’, not only is still alive now, but he has also become a great figure in the Righteous Path.
Ever since ancient times, Dao and Demons have taken different paths.
Moreover, the Tianshui Sect was so near to the court of Emperor Song.
In the future, a battle between her senior brother and Emperor Song was inevitable, a fact that couldn’t be disputed.
Faced with such a situation, Mao Ruxue didn’t know what to do.
"No, I must quickly improve my strength to share some of the burden with my senior brother in the future."
However, in an instant, she knew what she had to do.
There was no need to think about it. Her position in the Rebirth Hall was essentially a disguise, and her real identity was at the Tianshui Sect!
Mao Ruxue felt that her priority was to utilize Emperor Song’s trust in her and greatly enhance her strength. That way, when her senior brother and Emperor Song inevitably battle in the future, she would be strong enough to stab Emperor Song in the back and help her senior brother win.
Isn’t that what undercover identities are for?
Alright, I’ll do just that!
In an instant, Mao Ruxue had her plan set.
And it all starts with the position of Human Path Dao Master!
"Senior Brother, I am leaving the sect."
No words were spoken during the night, and early the next morning, Mao Ruxue packed up and bid Chen Chang’an farewell.
