Unsheathed

In the Heavenly World...

Inside the White Jade Capital...

A young Daoist priest lazily sat on the white jade railing, and beneath his feet were vast seas of clouds drifting at different heights, with all of them formed from the abundant spiritual energy. He smiled with squinted eyes and remarked, "Both the Great Mystery Capital Temple and the Small Mystery Capital Temple have quite impressive methods."

Before this, he had cocked his head to the side and pinched two fingers together as if he were holding onto the thread and listening to something. The voice was choppy and extremely fuzzy, and he hadn't been able to hear everything clearly.

Even he was unwilling to make physical contact with the thread.

He sat up straight and flicked his finger, casually severing the thread.

This was a small matter that he had coincidentally come across by following the clues, and it genuinely wasn't the case that he had ill intentions or whatnot. He wouldn't get involved in these complicated matters regardless of whether that young man lived or died, and regardless of whether he enjoyed fortune or suffered misfortune.

Meanwhile, He Xiaoliang had actually dared to make her own decision regarding some matter, but she had been extremely hesitant and decisive. Not only that, but she was completely oblivious to the consequences as well. As a result, that small Daoist priest at the Small Mystery Capital Temple felt intense resentment toward him, Lu Chen, now. He would attribute this debt to the Great Mystery Capital Temple that was located in Lu Chen's world, and when he returned, he would make sure to cause a scene there and loudly yell abuse in the street for every day that he didn't receive justice.

Lu Chen rubbed his chin and mused to himself, "In any case, this junior disciple of mine truly enjoys great fortune. He hasn't made his actual move yet, but he almost managed to kill that young lad in a mysterious fashion."

A young boy whose Daoist robes and Daoist hat didn't belong to the three original branches of the Dao Ancestor arrived beside Lu Chen and asked, "Is there some interesting news, Third Senior Brother?"

Lu Chen turned around and patted his head, replying, "You definitely need to live up to expectations, Junior Brother. You can't make your senior brother lose to that person with the surname Qi again. Did you know that I hold grudges the best?"

The young boy's smile became stiff, and he immediately turned around and ran away after seeing the amused smile on Lu Chen's face.
