Chen Jingzhai didn’t show any emotion when he heard Jiang Lin mention Lin Feiyang’s name.

As the Master Uncle, he had already forgiven what his disciple nephew had done.

He was even happy when he heard that Lin Feiyang was doing pretty well now.

“Really? It looks like he’ll gain a lot from this trip.
He might even have the chance to gather his core and break into the Golden Core Plane.” Chen Jingzhai grinned.

Although the chance was small, it wasn’t impossible.

There were all sorts of obsessions, and everyone’s obsession was different.

If Lin Feiyang could solve his biggest obsession during the mission in Pulao Kingdom, he would be able to improve by a huge leap.

“The Battle of Dragon is the biggest stage for the Divine Flame lineage.
It’s also the best training ground for them.” Jiang Lin nodded.

While most branches focused on leaving the mortal world, Divine Flame Peak was suitable for returning to the mortal world.

Lin Feiyang was the only one who was getting famous.
The other geniuses from the Luo Sheng Sword School remained incognito.

Jiang Lin didn’t even know where some of them were.

“How about the disciples of the Three Great Sword Branches? Where are they?”

“They had joined the Dao Cheng Division.
Most of the disciples are there except for Kong Guang, Wang Yao, and Qiao Haisheng, who had yet to show themselves.”

“Are they trying to start a war with a war?” Chen Jingzhai raised a brow.

“Well, the disciples of the sword branches could never sit still anyway.
So the thing they favor the most is killing demons.” Jiang Lin shook the calabash in his hand.
“Ever since words of the ruler’s illness got out, demons from the Western Desert and the Southern Wood Ocean have been sneaking into the kingdom.
Some of them who were hiding had surfaced as well.”

Jiang Lin then went into detail.

Although Pulao Kingdom had relied on the celestial clans for a long time, they also wanted to go solo.

Some had gone through great lengths to gather powers.

Because of the pressure from the celestial clans, some had started to make secret dealings with the demons and even started trading with them.

For example, the barbarians had traded with the kingdom before.

Some of the spirit woods and spirit mushrooms that were only found in the forest were extremely good cultivation resources.

These items could make any cultivators from the Pulao Kingdom go insane, including the northern nobles and the southern families.

Some of the families even started to raise beasts.

Pulao Kingdom wasn’t as peaceful as it seemed.

Even Dao Cheng Division, which was known to keep the kingdom clean of demons, couldn’t deal with some of the demons who resided in the kingdom.

“Some of the elders of cultivation families even became demon cultivators, while some of the northern nobles love to toy with demon slaves.
Basically, they have something that’s enough to stop Dao Cheng Division from looking into them.
Once the ruler got sick, these things began to surface.
I’m not sure what the Three Great Sword Branches did to get into the division directly, but the division is not able to control them.
The only one who can order them around is the old ruler.
They are basically killing demons or ghosts nowadays.”

Jiang Lin was a little emotional when he said that.

Even though he was a disciple of the Wine Celestial Clan, he would sometimes be jealous of the lifestyle that the disciples of the sword branches led.

They could slay demons without any Restrictions, which was better than being locked up in their own place all the time.

At least, that was what he thought.
That was why he would get rid of his Dragon Qi and come to visit his Master-Uncle.

“How about the other celestial clans?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“They are all in hiding as well.
Some did show themselves, like the disciples of the Mystic Evil Clan who have gathered in the military.
The genius of the Mystic Evil Clan now serves under General Zhong Yong.”

“How about the Soaring Clouds Clan?”

“Are you sure you aren’t asking about Miao Yun?” Jiang Lin grinned playfully.

“Why would you ask that?’ Chen Jingzhai questioned without a change in his expression.

“Come on.
Everyone in our clan knows about you and Miao Yun.” Jiang Lin laughed.
“I’ve even heard that Sage Xu of the Soaring Clouds Clan is infuriated once you got famous.”

Sage Xu was the one who had rescued Chen Jingzhai with Sage Lu back when he was still an aspirant cultivator.

Chen Jingzhai had left a deep impression on her back then.

“There’s nothing special between Miao Yun and me.
We were just in the same boat when we got caught by the Yellow Sands King.”

“But, that isn’t what the celestial maidens of the Soaring Clouds Clan are saying.
I even heard them saying that Sage Xu intends to marry Miao Yun to you.”

Chen Jingzhai’s expression changed a little.
“Well, who knew that you are such a busybody who believes such rumors.”

“It’s not a rumor.” Jiang Lin chuckled.

“Not a rumor? I’ve never heard of it, and nor have I confirmed it.
So how is this not a rumor? Don’t bring this up again.
I don’t mind it, but I don’t like other people getting in trouble because of me.”

“Yes, Master-Uncle!” Jiang Lin nodded.

The disciple nephew was indeed a little too excited as Miao Yun was famous.

She had always been the most outstanding disciple of her generation.

That was why he was itching to know more when he heard that his Master-Uncle was acquainted with her, and it would’ve been best if he could really turn them into a couple.

However, seeing how his Master-Uncle had reacted, Jiang Lin realized that it might not be possible.

“But, Master-Uncle, if you really want her, I’m sure that the Soaring Clouds Clan would not reject you.” Jiang Lin still could not hold himself back.
“Even though your status is higher than her now, it really doesn’t matter.”

“Why does it sound like you’re saying that she can only belong to me?” Chen Jingzhai sighed.
“Have you ever thought that someone is trying to set me up?”

“Someone’s trying to set you up?” Jiang Lin’s expression changed immediately.

“The celestial maidens of the Soaring Clouds Clan have a lot of admirers,” Chen Jingzhai explained.
“Although I’ve already made a name for myself, it’s still limited to inside our clan.
Also, not many people know of what happened back then.”

He was disappointed as he was sure that Jiang Lin would’ve noticed that if they were back in the Luanyun Mountain Range.

“You’re actually right.
Some people want to challenge you after words of what happened between you and her got out.
These are people who want to marry Miao Yun.”

The smile on Jiang Lin’s face had disappeared entirely and was now replaced with a cold one.

He wouldn’t mind teasing his Master Uncle, but it would be a different story if someone had ill intentions.

“Now that you’ve understood it, I have a favor to ask.
Head to the Eastern Sun City and look for Sage Qing Hui.
Tell him about this and tell him I want names.”

“Alright! I’ll head there right away.”

After Jiang Lin had left on his wine calabash, Chen Jingzhai let out a sigh.

He didn’t expect that Jiang Lin would finally show his true colors after leaving the mountain range.

“Who would’ve thought that he’s such a busybody? He sure hid it well.”

Chen Jingzhai had already heard of the rumor from Qing Mu before.

He thought that it was simply a rumor at first, but Sage Qing Mu was sure that Sage Xu was really infuriated as missing out on Chen Jingzhai was her biggest mistake.
It was also true that Sage Xu wanted to marry Miao Yun.

The reason for that was the fact that he had inherited Hongdu Immortal’s techniques from the secret zone.

In the end, the Small Clouds Heaven Forbidden Technique was closely tied to the Soaring Clouds Clan.
The Luo Sheng Sword School even sent out a Spirit Plane cultivator to invite an elder from the Soaring Clouds Clan to unseal the immortal’s abode.

When the elder returned, she kept praising Chen Jingzhai so much that Sage Xu got bitter as she never thought that the boy would become the center of attention.

In the end, Sage Xu came up with the idea of trying to marry Miao Yun to Chen Jingzhai.
If he agreed, then Miao Yun would’ve attained the same position as Chen Jingzhai in the Soaring Clouds Clan.

Not only did she want to achieve a friendly relationship with Chen Jingzhai through that, but she was also aiming for Hongdu Immortal Abode.
According to Sage Qing Mu, the Spirit Plane lord of the Luo Sheng Sword School had rejected that proposal.

It was a small matter to the lord but an embarrassment to Sage Xu.
Yet, she couldn’t go against one who had reached the Spirit Plane.

Women were always unreasonable, but women cultivators were even worse.

Unlike mortal women, women cultivators weren’t tied down to morality anymore.
In the cultivation world, status wasn’t decided by one’s gender but their ability.

To make matters even more interesting, after the Yellow Sands King incident, Miao Yun had been in Seclusion Training ever since she got back.
That was why she had no idea what was actually happening.

Just like Chen Jingzhai, she was hurt when she learned that she could not decide her future on her own and could only resort to watching Sage Xu trying to use her for benefits.
