Jiang Yuebai did not see how the partnership ceremony ended, or what the new patriarch of the Xiong family and his Taoist partner of the Fang family looked like. She was completely absorbed in the books that Mo Baichun gave her.
She also secretly divided most of it and threw it into the Lotus Cave Heaven, giving it to Bai Jiuyou and her three clones.
After the ceremony, everyone was going to move to the Xiong clan's territory to congratulate the newlyweds and hold other activities to have fun together. Jiang Yuebai had no interest in this at all, so he said goodbye early and prepared to go back to read and memorize books.
Mo Baichun found Zhuge Zigan and also wanted to leave, so the three of them went together.
"Zi Gan, why do you want to go back so early? Why don't we go and have some fun together?"
Just as the three of them walked to the Fengming Island Pier, they heard a voice coming from behind them. They turned around and saw Xiong Yanqing, the great elder of the Xiong family who had greeted Master Iron Palm before, coming through the air and smiling at Zhuge Zigan.
Following closely behind were Master Iron Palm and the sickly male cultivator. As soon as the sickly male cultivator appeared, he immediately narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Jiang Yuebai.
Zhuge Ziqian bowed respectfully and said, "Elder Xiong, the Zhuge family is busy with affairs, and the clan leader specifically told us to return as soon as the ceremony is over. Please forgive me for the inconvenience."
Xiong Yanqing's eyes twitched slightly, with a smile on his face but a cold snort in his heart. The Zhuge family has always been aloof and looked down on the Xiong family, who are all tyrannical warriors. Even for such an important event as the new clan leader's partner, they only sent an outer sect elder and a guest elder, which was simply a lack of respect!
"In that case, I will not force you to do anything. When I am done here, I will come to thank Patriarch Zhuge in person."
Zhuge Zigan smiled without saying anything, and bowed again with Mo Baichun beside him.
The three were about to leave when the sickly male cultivator behind Master Iron Palm suddenly spoke up, "Wait, who is this fellow Taoist?"
The frail male cultivator stared at Jiang Yuebai. Seeing this, Mo Baichun slightly moved half of his body, intending to protect Jiang Yuebai.
Before Jiang Yuebai could speak, Mo Baichun said, "This is my friend Wangshu. I wonder who he is?"
Xiong Yanqing and Master Tie Zhang didn't know why the sickly male cultivator suddenly stopped Jiang Yuebai, and they all looked at him.
The frail male cultivator bowed slowly, looking weak and fluttering, as if he would fly away with a gust of wind.
"My name is Dong Yue. When I saw Daoist Fellow Wang Shu, I felt that he seemed to have some of my aura. I wonder if the golden book of consecration that I left behind in the Iron Palm Realm is with you?"
Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled slightly. She placed that thing in the Lotus Cave, so it was impossible for the aura to leak out. How did Dong Yue know about it
Besides, she and Dong Yue had never met before, so how did he know that she had been to the Iron Palm Realm
Hearing this, Master Tie Zhang was slightly surprised and looked at Dong Yue, who nodded to him.
The Master of Iron Palm turned around, and the pressure of his peak incarnation level silently pressed down on Jiang Yuebai, his eyes wide open and his aura ferocious.
"In that case, return the Golden Book of Imperial Conferment. It was also the book that I painstakingly prepared for Dong Yue."
Jiang Yuebai clenched her fists fiercely. Her shoulders felt heavy from the pressure from the peak of the Spiritualization Realm. She sneered and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I'm really sorry. I don't know you and I don't know what you are talking about."
Back in the Iron Palm Realm, she had never revealed her true appearance anywhere else except during the final battle with the Iron Palm Sect's leader Yi Zhengyang, when she was unable to maintain her illusory form and her true appearance was exposed.
Wait, Yi Zhanying knows her true appearance, could it be her
Jiang Yuebai thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Yi Zhanying didn't know that she had the imperial golden book on her. The only people who knew about this were Guangling and Yan Hongyu from Dongyuezhou, but they had never seen her true face...
Could it be that the incense is so magical that it can sense her things placed in the Lotus Cave
Jiang Yuebai denied it, and Dong Yue was very sure. Seeing this, the Iron Palm Master snorted coldly.
"If you don't admit it, then let me search you!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yuebai stepped back subconsciously, and Mo Baichun shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
Zhuge Zigan also stepped forward and stood in front of Mo Baichun and Jiang Yuebai, his back straight, and said fearlessly, "Senior Tiezhang, this is a guest of my Zhuge family, you cannot humiliate him at will. If you don't have evidence, don't make irresponsible remarks and embarrass my Zhuge family!"
After saying this, Zhuge Zigan looked at Xiong Yanqing standing beside him with great determination.
Xiong Yanqing originally wanted to watch the fun, but unexpectedly Zhuge Zigan directly put the person under the wing of his Zhuge family. Today is also a big day for the Xiong family, so it would not be good to make things too embarrassing.
Xiong Yanqing turned to Dong Yue and asked, "How can you prove that the thing is in her possession?"
Master Iron Palm had a hot temper and said angrily, "You will know after searching. He is just an unknown cultivator!"
After saying that, the man with the iron palm swung a palm wind and grabbed Jiang Yuebai. Zhuge Zigan trembled all over, but still did not move away.
The same goes for Mo Baichun. She is a guest elder of the Zhuge family and represents the face of the Zhuge family outside. She has already said that Jiang Yuebai is her friend, so she must protect her.
Even if Jiang Yuebai really got the golden book of imperial decree, he couldn't let others bully him like this.
It's your own thing that you lost. Someone took it with their own ability. Why should you give it back? You have no shame!
Xiong Yanqing hurried forward and shook off the palm wind from Master Tie Zhang. "Brother Tie Zhang, don't be upset. There must be some misunderstanding. Today is a big day for our Xiong family. I hope Brother Tie Zhang will give me some face. Afterwards, I will personally help Brother Tie Zhang figure out the whole story and seek justice. Do you think this is okay?"
The Master of Iron Palm glared at Jiang Yuebai fiercely, then glanced at Mo Baichun and Zhuge Zigan. The threat in his eyes was very obvious. Dong Yue also covered his mouth and coughed twice, then bowed to Xiong Yanqing to apologize.
"I feel really sorry for causing you trouble today because of my affairs today."
Jiang Yuebai and Mo Baichun both had the urge to roll their eyes. They knew they were sorry. You were making trouble on someone else's happy day, which showed that you didn't take him seriously at all.
Xiong Yanqing also knew this, but Dong Yue was Master Tie Zhang's servant, and they were relatives, so he couldn't say anything.
Master Iron Palm snorted coldly and left first, followed closely by Dong Yue and Xiong Yanqing.
After the three men left, Zhuge Zigan felt relieved, but his heart was beating wildly.
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but send a voice message to Mo Baichun, teasing, "Sister has a good eye, and the man she chose is reliable!"
Mo Baichun rolled his eyes, revealing a bit of pride, "Of course, if my sister had poor taste back then, she wouldn't have liked you. But I made a mistake, otherwise you would have to call me Master now!"
"You wish for it. From now on, I will make you call me Senior Sister!"
"Stop talking nonsense. You can still smile when you are facing a disaster. That Iron Palm Master will definitely not let you go. You better be careful. Don't leave Plum Blossom Village unless necessary. The Zhuge family can still protect you."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"You have no sense of propriety. He is at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage. He can kill you with one palm strike. Hurry up and prepare. Once you pass the assessment, you can join the Zhuge Clan. The Zhuge Clan will definitely protect you."
Jiang Yuebai didn't say anything else. Zhuge Zigan took a deep breath, turned around and said to Jiang Yuebai, "I wonder if Daoist Wangshu has a place to stay. If not, why not stay at Zhuge's house temporarily? You can also be closer to Senior Sister Wuchen, which will make it easier for you to move around."
Jiang Yuebai was so moved that she had to say that Mo Baichun had a really good vision. He was such a godly man and he was so thoughtful.
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Okay, I'll bother you then."
Mo Baichun raised his eyebrows proudly and raised his chin.
"Well, it's convenient to collect debts if we're close." Jiang Yuebai transmitted the message.
Mo Baichun's raised eyebrows twitched suddenly and he clenched his back teeth.
The three of them took a black-sailed boat back to the Zhuge family's territory in Meihuawu. Halfway through the journey, a female ghost in red suddenly emerged from the water, grabbed the edge of the boat, shook off her wet long hair, and began to cry to Jiang Yuebai.
"Goddess, Hongyu finally found you. Please help me—"
