Zhuo Bufan was promoted to deputy hall master, and the Scarlet Protector was the well-deserved first. Many powerful people in the Smoky Rain Temple gave face and came to attend the dinner specially.
In a courtyard, the lights were brightly lit, and the servants were busy serving delicious food and wine.
"Second Palace Master!"
"Second Palace Master!"
When the crowd saw Zhuo Bufan, they showed awe and saluted respectfully.
Zhuo Bufan nodded slightly and walked into the mansion. He saw the crimson guardian in a red robe, with high hair and exquisite hair accessories, which was less sharp as a strong man and more soft as a daughter's house.
Next to the Scarlet Guardian, there was a woman in pink dress standing with a graceful posture and a pretty face. It was A Qiao, who walked towards her holding hands.
"Deputy Palace Master, I didn't expect you to come." The Scarlet Protector smiled.
"We thought the deputy hall master was in seclusion, so we must have no choice but to come." A chu said with a smile.
Zhuo Bufan said, "I also saw the transmission of the magical thoughts of the Crimson Protector as soon as I came out of seclusion. Practice is important, and I need to relax occasionally. This is the gift I give you."
Zhuo Bufan took out the prepared gift and handed it to Aqiao.
There are two valuable treasures inside, but it is not important to Zhuo Bufan. Since the Scarlet Protector and Aqiao disclosed their relationship to everyone, he should naturally give gifts to congratulate him.
The Crimson Guardian prepared a large amount of fairy-making wine. After three rounds of wine, Zhuo Bufan drank a lot of wine.
The moonlight is like water, pouring down from the nine heavens, covering the earth with a layer of hazy silver yarn.
Zhuo Bufan took the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
"Second Palace Master." The Scarlet Protector walked to him and said, "It seems that something is wrong with the Palace Master when you have been in seclusion for these days."
"Hmm?" Zhuo Bufan turned his head, feeling a little confused.
The Scarlet Protector waved his hand gently to isolate the inside and outside to prevent anyone from peeping. He frowned slightly and said, "Since discovering the God and Demon Ruins, the Palace Master has handed me most of the affairs of the Smoky Rain Temple. She claimed to be in seclusion and practice, but I found that she often went to the God and Demon Ruins... And I saw her three years ago and found that the aura on the Temple Master was getting weirder and weirder."
This matter is of great importance, and the Scarlet Protector dared not tell others, so he had to discuss it with Zhuo Bufan.
"Everyone has his own secret. Maybe the Palace Master discovered something in the Gods and Demon Ruins and was practicing. With the Palace Master's strength, if I really encounter problems, I can't help her." Zhuo Bufan said lightly.
Xiao Jing killed Bai Tu in seconds, and his strength suddenly soared. Zhuo Bufan also felt strange at that time. Then he thought, maybe it was because Xiao Jing had been hiding his strength before.
"Maybe it is." Feihong didn't agree.
At this moment, Zhuo Bufan's face changed slightly. He took out the communication token and it turned out that Xiao Jing sent a message to see her.
In fact, Zhuo Bufan was a little reluctant to see Xiao Jing. Last time he talked to Xiao Jing, he sensitively discovered Xiao Jing’s feelings for him. In this case, Zhuo Bufan deliberately avoided Xiao Jing.
However, Zhuo Bufan could not refuse when summoned by the palace master.
The main hall was brightly lit, but the patrols stationed around were gone. Even the servants in the palace were different from usual and left the main hall.
Therefore, the magnificent palace seems a little empty at this moment.
A purple skirt figure with snow-white feet standing at the entrance of the main hall. The long dark purple hair floated one by one in the night wind. Because of the gauze-woven dress, you can see the snow-white lotus arms faintly appearing, and the body exudes a thrilling charming atmosphere.
"Lord of the Palace."
Zhuo Bufan stepped forward and bowed, stood up, and even when he saw Xiao Jing, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Deputy Palace Master, before you can congratulate me, your strength has increased a lot." Xiao Jing bent a smile on his lips, his every move, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with charm.
Zhuo Bufan secretly used his martial arts to keep his mind calm.
"I'm worried about the Lord of the Palace, but the law of time and space have not been perfectly cultivated. There is still a distance from the dominant realm." Zhuo Bufan replied.
Xiao Jing did not respond, but instead walked down the steps and stood face to face with Zhuo Bufan. A quiet fragrance lingered around him, making people feel rippling.
A pair of water-cut autumn eyes stared at Zhuo Bufan, with rosy and thin lips lightly opened, and a gentle tone, "Secret Hall Master, stay in the Tianling Sea, I can hand over the Temple of Smoky Rain to you... There is no hope for returning to the Three Realms. As long as you are willing, I can help you become the strongest man in the Tianling Sea..."
"Lord of the Palace, I don't understand what you mean." Zhuo Bufan frowned slightly.
Zhuo Bufan deliberately avoided Xiao Jing's eyes, so he did not notice the struggle flashing through Xiao Jing's eyes.
"Deputy Palace Master, don't you understand what I mean?" Xiao Jing said, taking a step forward. The two of them were close at hand, their eyes were faint, and they raised their jade palms to put them on Zhuo Bufan's shoulders.
Zhuo Bufan immediately took a step back, "Lord of the Palace, my relatives, wife, children, and friends are all in the Three Realms. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will find a way to return to the Three Realms."
Xiao Jing's jade palm, which was placed in the air, was slightly stiff. He immediately smiled and said, "The deputy hall master is a person who values love and righteousness. As long as you can stay outside the hall for a night, I will tell you how to leave the Tianling Sea the next day."
"The Palace Master knows how to leave the Tianling Sea?" A trace of splendor flashed in Zhuo Bufan's eyes.
"You have been in seclusion for many years, and I have been going to the Gods and Demon Ruins to find a way to leave the Heavenly Spirit Sea, as long as you can stay in front of the palace for a night." Xiao Jing said, holding his middle finger with his thumb and bounced his finger.
A wisp of purple aura, like smoke and fog, shot towards Zhuo Bufan. Zhuo Bufan stood there without moving because he did not feel the murderous intent.
The purple aura hit Zhuo Bufan's eyebrows and penetrated into the sea of divineness.
"I'll wait for you." After Xiao Jing said that, he turned around and walked into the palace without looking back.
Sitting in the palace, Xiao Jing's face suddenly changed. He covered his chest and knelt on the ground with a thud, his forehead was covered with sweat, "Hei Lian, I have already got the lotus seeds for you, why do you still do this?"
At this moment, there seemed to be two different consciousnesses in Xiao Jing's mind, entangled with each other.
"Xiao Jing, you are also one of my billion-dollar clones. I am helping you. Isn't it what you think of when Zhuo Bufan stays in the Tianling Sea? He is the cold sarcasm of Hei Lian in his mind.
Zhuo Bufan stood at the door, feeling a burst of fiery fire burning in his chest, almost burning himself to ashes. Even with his current cultivation level, he could not stop him.
Looking at the corridor leading to the interior of the palace, there are lotus lamps on both sides of the corridor, with a slightly red light, revealing an ambiguous atmosphere.
An irresistible impulse arises in his heart and makes him want to walk in.
"No...I can't stay in the Tianling Sea..."
Zhuo Bufan slapped his chest with a palm, spewing blood out of his mouth, making himself try to stay awake, but he didn't know what Xiao Jing was hitting his divine sea. Even if his willpower was amazing, he could not resist the pain of thousands of insects biting his soul, and eventually lost consciousness.
