"Hmm?"
Seeing Sun Senior Palace Lady’s hesitant expression, the Empress furrowed her brows.
If Chen Mo were truly in danger, she wouldn’t dare to be so secretive about it, probably something unexpected happened.
"Enough, then tell the good news first." The Empress said patiently.
"Yes." Sun Senior Palace Lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After verification, Mr. Chen has been away from the Capital City for more than seven days, and he’s been at Fuyun Mountain far away. The voice Her Highness heard at Haitang Pond was probably not Mr. Chen..."
"Just as expected!"
"I knew it, the little thief would never treat me like that!"
"It must have been Yu Youhan’s deliberate provocation to anger me, creating distance between me and the little thief... That despicable woman is so cunning. As the Ultimate Venerable, she didn’t rely on force but resorted to strategy!"
With the knot in her heart unraveled, the Empress’s expression eased considerably, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
As for the reason Chen Mo went to Tianshu Pavilion, it was simple; the formula for the Creation Golden Pill was with Ji Hongxiu. To help Ling Yishan rebuild the Dao Foundation, he had to ask for that Daoist Venerable’s help.
"The situation in the Capital City is unpredictable now, anything could happen, we must try to ally with every possible force."
"Ling Yishan, as the Ultimate in the art of Dao, possesses formidable strength and holds control over the vast Demon Suppression Department, which is crucial for us. Moreover, we need his help to break the Eightfold Exorcism Array."
"Looks like I misunderstood the little thief. These days he hasn’t been idle but has been busy running around..."
Feeling guilty for her previous thoughts, the Empress continued to inquire, "By the way, you mentioned there’s also bad news earlier? What is it?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "The servant also learned that Mr. Chen inherited the legacy of a Daoist Ancestor from a thousand years ago, and he’s opened a forum to teach at Tianshu Pavilion, broadly conveying Dao mechanisms..."
"So, after beating around the bush for so long, you were going to say just this?" The Empress shook her head, "I’ve long known about this, and it can’t be considered bad news."
After returning from the Qingzhou Secret Realm, Chen Mo told her everything that happened there, including the unexpected acquisition of the two Origin Powers of Cause and Effect, and Reincarnation.
As for the preaching, those who understand, understand; it’s merely profound esoteric talk. It’s not some miraculous Spirit Pill that can make one’s power soar directly, but it helps to elevate Chen Mo’s status in Tianshu Pavilion, laying down a good foundation for future court appeasement.
Sect issues will eventually be resolved.
The Three Saint Sect holds an extraordinary position, especially Tianshu Pavilion, hailed as the foremost Daoist Sect in the world.
If even such a colossus submits, what could the small fry possibly stir up?
"Uh, I haven’t finished yet..."
Sun Senior Palace Lady continued to supplement, "After the preaching, Mr. Chen performed a Rite of Dao Union with Ling Ningzhi, the chief of Tianshu Pavilion. Now the two have already become officially contracted Dao companions through an alliance pact."
?!
"What did you say? Dao companions?!"
The Empress’s expression stiffened upon hearing this and she abruptly stood up, "Is this true?!"
