“The murals are real, but the words might not be completely accurate,” Lu Zhou said.

Xuanyi did not understand, but it did not matter at this moment. He said, “You returned to the Great Void this time…”

“To look for someone…” Lu Zhou said.

“To look for someone?” Xuanyi asked in disbelief.

“That’s right,” Lu Zhou said.

Xuanyi’s expression turned solemn, and his tone turned dignified again as he said, “Don’t worry. If you need help, I’ll help you.”

Lu Zhou turned to look at Xuanyi silently. After a long while, he shook his head and said, “100,000 years have passed, and I’m no longer the same as before. I only returned to the Great Void to look for someone.”

Xuanyi no longer insisted. He was aware of how the Unholy One who dominated the Great Void for 100,000 years fell from his high position. Finally, he said, “I understand if you don’t trust me. However, since you’re in the Great Void now, I hope you’ll stay in Xuanyi Palace.”

Lu Zhou thought about it for a moment before he shook his head and asked, “My identity is special. Aren’t you worried about being implicated?”

“If I’m afraid, I wouldn’t have been able to become the Master of Xuanyi Palace. Moreover, not many know about your true identity. If anyone dares to leak it out, I’ll kill them immediately,” Xuanyi said in a low voice.

Lu Zhou looked as though he was still hesitating.

Upon seeing this, Xuanyi bowed and said, “I hope teacher will agree!”

“Back then, although I did give you some pointers, I’m far from being worthy of you calling me teacher. I can’t accept this title,” Lu Zhou said with a wave of his sleeve. Then, he turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Xuanyi hastily said, “I just wanted to express my respect. After thinking about it, I thought it’s the only suitable form of address. If you don’t think it’s suitable, then forget it.”

Lu Zhou stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Xuanyi with a satisfied expression. Then, he said, “You’re still a child that can be taught.”

With that, Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Zhou’s arm. Then, he said, “Today, I’m going to have a good chat with teach… Pavilion Master Lu. We won’t go to bed until we’re drunk! There are still a few things I don’t understand about the things you said to me back then…” Then, he looked outside before he raised his voice and said, “Prepare the wine!”

At the same time, the female attendant outside Xuanyi Hall looked at the brightly lit hall in confusion. She thought Xuanyi must have been busy recently and wanted to drink to ease his worries. Then, she hurriedly replied, “Understood.”

…

Li Chun flew about 100 miles east and arrived at the training hall where Zhang He was.

The hall was close to the mountains and the rivers. The vitality energy and the Great Void energy were rich. It was far superior to any training halls in the nine domains.

Li Chun flashed inside and asked with a smile, “Commander Zhang, are you really facing the wall to reflect on your mistake?”

At this moment, Zhang He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, facing a wall. When he heard Li Chun’s voice, he opened his eyes and said, “It’s my duty to obey His Majesty’s orders.”

Li Chun nodded. “Yes. With Commander Zhang around, His Majesty won’t need to worry.”

Zhang He scoffed. “Don’t flatter me. You brought that person here, didn’t you?”

Li Chun sighed and said, “You’re too rash today. His background isn’t simple.”

“He’s just a cultivator from the nine domains. What kind of background can he have?” Zhang He asked, puzzled.

“He’s one of the White Emperor’s men,” Li Chun replied.

Upon hearing this, a surprised expression appeared on Zhang He’s face. Then, realization dawned on him. “No wonder! Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Instead of directly replying to the question, Li Chun said, “Previously, the White Emperor obtained two owners of the Great Void Seeds. They’re also the most likely candidates to participate in the competition for the positions of Commanders of the ten halls. Since that person took the initiative to contact me, I suspect he’s an expert sent by the White Emperor to investigate the situation. I didn’t say anything earlier because I didn’t want to alert the enemy.”

Zhang He nodded. “The White Emperor really has no intention of giving up.”

“Qi Sheng, the new Commander of Tu Wei Hall, is also someone from the White Emperor’s side. He also has a good relationship with the Sacred Temple. We, from Xuanyi Palace, have to better understand the situation before we determine if someone’s a friend or foe,” Li Chun said.

Zhang He said, still surprised, “Then, perhaps, the person with the surname Lu isn’t exactly an enemy of ours.”

Li Chun smiled. “That’s right! That’s why I brought him to Xuanyi Palace.”

Zhang He thought about it for a moment before he said, “Wait. How did you know he’s one of the White Emperor’s men?”

“He had the White Emperor’s token.He showed it to me.”

“Something’s not right. He knows you’ve seen the token, and yet, he still brazenly followed you here? It doesn’t make sense,” Zhang He said.

“Well, we can only obtain the answers from him, and isn’t His Majesty chatting with him now?” Li Chun asked with a smile.

Realization dawned on Zhang He again. “His Majesty is truly wise!”

…

In just a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Zhang He and Li Chun appeared near Xuanyi Hall.

Li Chun said, “When we enter the hall, remember to act like nothing happened. After all, he’s one of the White Emperor’s men.”

“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” Zhang He replied.

Li Chun nodded before he bowed in the direction of Xuanyi Hall. “Li Chun requests an audience with Emperor Xuanyi.”

Following that, the doors of Xuanyi Hall slowly swung open.

“Enter.”

The duo walked in at the same time. When they saw Lu Zhou and Xuanyi smiling and chatting happily, they were momentarily stunned.

At this time, Xuanyi looked at Zhang He and asked, “Why aren’t you apologizing to Pavilion Master Lu?” Before Zhang He responded, he added in a deep voice, “You must obey my orders.”

Zhang He bowed and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, please forgive me for my previous offense.”

“Forget about it.” Lu Zhou waved his sleeve, indicating he would not stoop to Zhang He’s level.

Xuanyi nodded in satisfaction. Zhang He was usually hot-tempered, but he was surprised that Zhang He managed to reign in his temper today. Zhang He had truly improved a lot. Initially, he had planned to say a few words of reproach, but now, it seemed like they were not needed.

In the end, Xuanyi only said, “Pavilion Master Lu is tired. Both of you, send Pavilion Master Lu back to rest.”

“Understood.”

Lu Zhou did not stand on ceremony and left, accompanied by Zhang He and Li Chun.

After the trio left, Xuanyi waved his sleeve immediately.

The doors to Xuanyi Hall closed, and its outside lit up again.

Then, he flashed to the murals and stared at them intently as he muttered to himself, “One flower, one world, one leaf, one awareness. All things in the world have a beginning and an end… They form an endless cycle…”

…

At the Dark Hall.

The Dark Guards were busy attending to their tasks at this time. However, when they saw Zhang He, Li Chun, and Lu Zhou, they straightened their backs and greeted them.

Zhang He was very polite as he said, “Pavilion Master Lu, it’s an honor that you joined the Dark Guards. Previously, I failed to recognize you. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Lu Zhou replied, “Knowing one’s mistake is also a huge improvement.”

Zhang He: “…”

‘You’re really shameless. If it weren’t for the White Emperor, who would care about you?!’

Li Chun smiled and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, you’re different from the others. In the future, there’s no need for you to do anything. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me. For example, if you need suggestions about delicious food and fun things to do. As long as you ask, there’s nothing I can’t do!”

“Very well.”

“Then, we won’t disturb you any further, Pavilion Master Lu. Please rest well.”

Li Chun and Zhang He cupped their fists together at Lu Zhou before they turned around and left.

The Dark Guards: “???”

The Dark Guards were confused. Only three days had passed, but the world had changed. Why was their commander bowing and kowtowing to a newcomer? It did not make sense at all.

Meng Changdong and Lu Li were stunned. They scratched their heads and looked at the sky in confusion. They really could not figure it out. In the end, only a sentence appeared in their mind: the Pavilion Master is really awesome!
