"Zhang San, your teacher and I have important matters to attend to and need to leave for a while. During this time, you must complete the cultivation schedule I have arranged for you without any negligence. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Lei Heng for guidance."
Inside the City Lord's mansion, Gu Huaiyu was instructing his newly accepted disciple, Zhang San.
At this moment, Zhang San was dressed in a training suit, carrying a short wooden sword on his back. This wooden sword was also a magical artifact, tailor-made by Lu Chengfeng because he had no foundation or cultivation. It was prepared for Zhang San to practice the drawing sword technique.
Upon hearing this, Zhang San scratched his head and glanced at Lei Heng beside him, feeling a bit confused. Wasn't this a one-time bodyguard I hired for a million high-grade source crystals? How did he suddenly become my instructor?
"Young Master, please guide me in the future!" Lei Heng clasped his fist at Zhang San.
"Uh... please guide me."
Zhang San was stunned for a moment. It was really the first time he had heard someone address him like this.
Young Master? Hehe, this title sounds very high-end, not bad, not bad!
Zhang San was happy inside. He already had a good impression of Lei Heng, and now he found him more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Master, how long will you and the Martial Aunt be away from home?" Zhang San asked.
"Not sure yet." Lu Chengfeng shook her head, because she and Gu Huaiyu didn't know how long it would take to find the Heavenly Pool Sacred Palace. After all, the Heavenly Pool Sacred Palace would only appear when the nine stars were in alignment. It was still unknown whether the phenomenon of nine stars in alignment still existed, and even if it did, they didn't know how long it would take for the next nine-star alignment.
"But don't worry, if things are impossible, we will be back soon," Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
"What if someone troubles our Jade Water City after you and Martial Aunt leave?" Zhang San asked worriedly.
"This time, we will not announce our departure to the public, but rather claim to be in seclusion. Who would dare to come?"
Lu Chengfeng's voice was calm, but extremely confident. Her impressive record of killing Zhang Wutian had a far-reaching impact. Even after a few months, it was still a popular topic of conversation among countless cultivators. Unless they had a deep-seated hatred with her, they would never provoke her for no reason.
Besides, Zhang Wutian, her only enemy in this Heavenly Pool Ancient Star, was already dead. She didn't believe that Zhang Wutian's character would have anyone avenge him.
Therefore, she was not worried that anyone would come to trouble Jade Water City, and the patriarchs of the four major families in Jade Water City were all Saint-level experts. Petty thieves would not dare to run wild in Jade Water City.
"Steward Fu!"
Lu Chengfeng looked at Steward Fu.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Lu Chengfeng said, "During the time we are away, the affairs in the city will be entrusted to you."
"This subordinate will definitely not let City Lord down!" Steward Fu felt a little terrified, but more of an unspeakable feeling. He knew that from now on, he had truly become City Lord's person.
Lu Chengfeng nodded. Steward Fu's cultivation was not high, only Entering Saint Realm, but his management ability was first-class. He was a rare talent. The most important thing was that Steward Fu was very loyal to her, otherwise, she would not have entrusted such an important task to him.
"In that case, we will leave now."
After saying that, Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu quietly left Jade Water City.
Soon, the City Lord's Mansion announced to the public that the two City Lords would be in a long-term seclusion state. Outsiders had no objection to this. After all, the two City Lords were both experts above the Saint Realm. It was normal for them to be in seclusion for decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. They only needed to follow the city rules set by the City Lords.
……
At the same time, in Linbei City, Li Beifei and his group were preparing to discuss when to return to the Tianhuang Star.
"I think the sooner the better. Even if Duan Fei provides a stellar warship, it will take more than ten years to go back and forth," Xuan Mingzi said. The distance between Tianhuang Star and Tianchi Ancient Star was much farther than the distance from Beichen Star to Tianchi Ancient Star. In his opinion, since they planned to go back, they should hurry up, after all, everyone hadn't been back to see it for a long time.
He had returned three hundred years ago, but who knew what Tianhuang Star would be like now? After all, the changes in the universe could be described as rapid.
Li Ruoyu, Gu Xichao, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, and Xia Wuji all agreed with Xuan Mingzi's suggestion.
Since the Void God Realm incident, Xia Wuji could face the fall of Princess Jiuli frankly, because he knew that as long as his cultivation was high enough, he could revive the dead. Now his cultivation goal was no longer to prove the Dao to the Supreme, the Supreme was just a scenery passing by, his purpose was to revive Princess Jiuli, and he would not give up until he completed this goal.
And Gu Xichao and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi wanted to go back, then Gu Xiruo and Ye Hongyi would naturally follow, one was following her brother, and the other was following her sister. As for Lin Tian and the Ancient Prince Tianpeng, needless to say.
More than half of the people agreed with Xuan Mingzi's suggestion.
In this regard, Bai Yifei said: "Don't worry so much? Some time ago, Jiu'er and I watched the celestial phenomena at night and discovered a very peculiar trend among the stars."
"Are you really watching the celestial phenomena at night?" Xuan Mingzi's tone was like eating sour plums, full of sourness. Dating is dating, what are you talking about watching the celestial phenomena? It's amazing to have a partner? When I go back, I will confess to Weiwei...
Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for three hundred years, will Weiwei be married? That guy Master won't let Weiwei participate in any marriage alliance, right? No, I have to go back quickly.
Xuan Mingzi became more and more anxious.
Bai Yifei rolled his eyes at him and said, "We found that the stars seem to be converging on a straight line, and then we deduced it. Guess what we found?"
"Could it be that these stars will really be connected together?" Xuan Mingzi curled his lips.
"Xuan Mingzi, I said you have the talent to practice celestial magic. I asked you to switch to our Tianji Pavilion, but you didn't want to. Otherwise, your celestial magic would definitely be no worse than mine now!"
Bai Yifei gave Xuan Mingzi a thumbs up.
"What?" Xuan Mingzi's eyes widened. He was just talking casually, who knew he guessed it again?
"Is it so magical?" Li Beifei asked. Each star in the sky represents a shining sun. If you want these suns to be connected in a line, I am afraid that even a true immortal will not be able to do it. At least it must be a fairy king to have this kind of creation method.
Because once these suns move, the impact on the universe is immeasurable, and only powerful people above the fairy king can use creation methods to eliminate these impacts.
In the mortal world, including the old guy, only a few people have this method, and he believes that the old guy will not be so bored to connect these suns in a line, and others will not be so bored.
"Actually, not all the stars will be connected together. After Jiu'er and I calculated, we found that the phenomenon of nine stars in a row will appear soon," Bai Yifei said.
"How long will it be soon?" Li Beifei asked.
"The shortest is half a year, and the longest will not exceed one year. And Jiu'er and I checked, there is no record of nine stars in a row in the ancient books of Tianchi Ancient Star, that is to say, this may be the first time that nine stars in a row will appear, and it may even be the last time."
The more Bai Yifei said, the more excited he became.
"Speaking so mysteriously, you don't want us to stay and watch the sunrise with you, do you?" Xuan Mingzi looked like I had seen through you long ago. Anyway, he was eager to return, no matter what nine stars in a row, even ninety stars could not keep him, his heart has now returned to Tianhuang Star.
"When a strange phenomenon descends from the sky, either a monster is born or a treasure appears."
The Heavenly Eye Royal Girl said at this time.
"If a monster is born, won't it be slapped to death by Senior Gu?" Xia Wuji said.
"Uh..."
"Honghong, do you want to see it?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi asked Ye Hongyi.
Ye Hongyi did not hide it, she nodded and said, "It doesn't hurt to take a look."
Unlike others, her blood relatives are by her side, and her master and junior brother are also here, so she is not in a hurry to return to Tianhuang Star.
"Then I'll stay with you." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi said.
Ye Hongyi stayed, and the Ancient Prince Tianpeng naturally stayed too.
As for Li Ruoyu, seeing that Ye Hongyi stayed, he also said: "Since it is a rare phenomenon in ancient times, then I will stay and take a look."
"Sister, why don't we wait until we finish watching before going back? It's been more than a thousand years, and it's not bad for a few more years." Gu Xichao asked.
"I'll listen to you, brother." Gu Xiruo nodded.
"That's it!" Gu Xichao smiled.
Gu Xiruo stayed, and Lin Tian would naturally not leave.
Xia Wuji saw that the people who originally wanted to go back did not go back, and suddenly felt bored. He said: "Then I will wait for you to go back together."
In the end, only Xuan Mingzi was dumbfounded looking at them.
"You... where is your firm Dao heart? How can it be shaken so easily?" Xuan Mingzi wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Then you go alone?" Li Beifei asked.
"Boss..." Xuan Mingzi looked at Li Beifei resentfully, why don't you try to keep me?
"I'm not leaving!"
Xuan Mingzi was discouraged, his heart flew back from Tianhuang Star to Tianchi Ancient Star again.
Junior sister, wait for senior brother, senior brother will go back later!
