Chapter 288: The Great Scholar, Bailu Academy, Arrival at Jinguang Temple
“It is said that Lu Li apprenticed under the great scholar, Master Jinyan[1]. She not only trains in martial arts but also studies the Confucian classics. Her talent is exceptional. It is only unclear why Lu Li herself would personally go out on official business.”
Hearing this, Li Yanchu fell silent.
No wonder this Lu Ying could so casually throw out three thousand taels of silver, have by her side martial guards tempered with Heaven Official’s Blessing and nearly impossible to kill, and even gave away things like the Dragon-Tiger Scepter or a Great Scholar Scroll as though they were nothing.
So she was the daughter of the number one official in all of Feiyun Prefecture!
After a pause, Li Yanchu said, “So it seems, with Lu Li going to Xuzhou City to handle the matter of Xinyi Dao, success is nearly certain.”
Wang Wen nodded. “Indeed.”
Li Yanchu shifted the topic. “On this trip to Liuguang Cave, I learned from the mouth of a demon that someone within Xinyi Dao colluded with the Mountain Lord, and they had once sent someone to make contact.”
Wang Wen’s face grew grave. “There’s such a thing!?”
“The demon said the emissary Xinyi Dao sent... was a black-faced Daoist,” Li Yanchu said calmly.
“What!?” Wang Wen’s face went pale with shock.
A black-faced Daoist... Could it be Daoist Master Wumu!?
That coincidence was almost too much.
