The Fifth Set of Opening the Plains Chapter 22: The Double Treasure Meeting

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

  Dozens of fireballs shot out from the hands of the crimson-robed woman, enveloping Wu Dang and sealing off all six directions - front, back, left, right, up, and down.

  "Speak up, speak up!!!" Wu Yutang covered his head with both hands and ran around in a most unseemly manner, but somehow he managed to dodge the hail of fireballs that rained down on him, not even getting hit by any of the flying rocks.

  Dozens of fireballs were released, and the crimson-clothed woman seemed to have extinguished the flames as well. She gazed at Wu Yutang with a cold, eerie stare, "If you continue to spout nonsense, I'll shatter this entire space, even if it means I die along with it!"

  "Ah, what a huge fire you have! Even if you were to shatter this entire space, you still can't——!" Suddenly, Wu Yutang shut his mouth, and his originally straight body bent down again, chuckling, "You're quite the cunning woman!!"

  "Unexpectedly in the southwest three states this bird doesn't drop shit place actually can meet you such a person, what did you just say, that little kid is your nephew? Really or fake?"

  "A real nephew of mine, my sister's own son!" Wu Yutang didn't hide it either, "Who are you again?!"

  "He's a successor of one of my friends!" The woman in red clothes said calmly, "I intentionally let him inherit the legacy of that friend, what do you think?!"

  "What does it have to do with me?!" Wu Yutang waved his hand, seeming to understand something. "So, the so-called Taoist inheritance he was talking about was actually from your friend's, and that Yuan Soul Fruit was also obtained from you?"

  "Yuanshen fruit?!" The woman in red clothes was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That's not it, Yuanshen fruit should be his own fate!"

  Though he said so with his mouth, in his heart he was secretly scolding, "So this little brat had eaten the Yuanshen fruit to have the qualifications of a Daoshi, truly an outrageous exploitation of heaven's resources!"

  "What luck?!" Wu Yudang's doubt flashed through his mind, "Heh heh, it seems this kid's luck is really not bad, right, is that friend of yours an Array Master?"

  "Why should I tell you?!" The woman in red suddenly came to her senses, her face cold. "I advise you not to play such petty tricks in front of me..." Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and pointed at Wu Yutang, "You, won't the Heavenly Vagabond of this generation be ruined by you?!"

  "Did I sabotage her? I didn't sabotage her, is there a man more suitable for her than my nephew in this world?! Wu Yutang chuckled and didn't deny it. "How about it, miss? You came to find that little brat today, are you also interested in Jingling Lake?"

  "Hmph, if it weren't for those old guys at Jingling Lake being so hard to deal with, I would have taken care of them long ago!" The woman in red clothes didn't deny it either. "On the other hand, you've gotten your nephew into such a huge mess, do you think you can just stand by and watch?"

  "You can't say that, I didn't cause him any huge trouble, on the contrary, I found him a wife with a deep background!"

  "This wife of his is a hard nut to crack!!"

  "It's no trouble at all, just a woman, he can handle it!" In just a few words, Wu Yutang seemed to have become familiar with the red-clothed woman. "Originally everything was under my control, but now that you've come, it seems like you want to break the situation!"

  "I just made a deal with your nephew, just like before. He was able to obtain the legacy of the magician also because he made a deal with me!"

  "Transaction?!" Wu Yutang's eyes sparkled, "Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, miss is from that place, right?" As he spoke, he made a strange gesture towards the crimson-clad woman.

  "Your taste is great!!"

  "It's not that my eyes are good, but every time you open your mouth, it's a transaction. I'm just familiar with the sound!" Wu Yutang seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, "Forget it, forget it. Since you've intervened, I won't bother anymore. However, miss, I hope you'll be careful. After all, he is my nephew. I don't want anything to really happen!"

  "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, let alone!" The woman in red clothes said lightly, "Even if he can't complete the transaction, for your sake, I won't make things too difficult for him!"

  "No, absolutely don't look at my face, human emotions are hard to repay!!" Wu Yutang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Since you believe in him so much, there's no reason I shouldn't believe in him too. I also believe he can complete the transaction with you!!" As he spoke, his body suddenly fell to the ground and turned into a wisp of black smoke that drilled into the gap between the floorboards. In an instant, his breath disappeared without a trace.

  The woman in red watched him leave with a raised eyebrow, and with her keen eyesight, she surprisingly didn't notice how Wu Yutang had made a scene.

  "What a surprise, I didn't expect to find such an interesting person in the three southwestern states. This person's moves are strange and don't seem like they're from this world, but it turns out he's that young man's uncle! That's definitely worth paying attention to!" The woman in red narrowed her eyes, not delving deeper into how she hadn't seen through Wu Yutang's moves, instead shifting her focus onto Wang Guanlan. At the same time, she linked herself and Wu Yutang together with him, which wasn't normal - or rather, it wouldn't be normal if he were just an ordinary prince from a royal family. "It seems that this young man really does have quite a bit of luck on his side! Who knows, maybe this time I'll actually be able to help him kill off Zhu Zhihua!!"

  ………………

  ………

  "Gongzi, Gongzi, Yicheng has arrived!!" In the carriage, Wang Guanlan appeared to be meditating with his eyes closed, but no one knew that at this moment, his heart was already in turmoil, contemplating the mysteries of the Lingyin Zhentu diagram.

  Since receiving that letter of introduction, he has been in this state all along. In the eyes of Luo Han, Wang Guanlan's mysteriousness undoubtedly increased by another point.

  As the leader of Huā Lí Wèi, a martial arts master who has cultivated his Qi to the seventh level, he naturally knew what a Ling Yin was. However, regarding Wang Guanlan suddenly receiving this mysterious Ling Yin, he still felt somewhat surprised.

  As far as he knew, Wang Guanlan had received the legacy of his predecessors and had no school gate, no fellow apprentices, and no senior brothers. However, after receiving the spiritual guide, this impression became suspicious.

  Ling Yin is used by Taoist priests and can only be made by them. Since Wang Guanlan returned to Nanhuacheng from Wuyin Gorge and then went to Yicheng, his whereabouts have been open and not unusual, nor has he had any contact with other Taoist priests. In other words, it is impossible for him to know other Taoist priests outside the palace. So why did he receive Ling Yin? And after receiving Ling Yin, he still maintained that strange state! Obviously, he was contemplating something!

  Could it be the Wangfu's sorcerer?

  He soon denied this possibility again. The number of Taoist priests in the Wang's mansion is limited, and even if there is something, they will not take such a way to contact Wang Guanlan.

  It's not the royal family's Taoist priest, but another Taoist priest outside the palace gave Wang Guanlan a spiritual guide that he had to comprehend as soon as he received it. This shows that outside the palace, Wang Guanlan knew other Taoist priests and their relationship was extraordinary.

  "Could it be that the Fourteenth Young Master has been secretly accepted as a disciple by some mid-tier or even high-tier cultivator?!" He quickly thought of this possibility and became convinced of it.

  "Hmm, it seems there's only one explanation. The Fourteenth Master has been secretly accepted as a disciple by someone and has learned the ways of Taoist magic. However, the other party doesn't want anyone to know, so they let him pretend to have inherited the legacy of the previous generation's Taoist master!" He seemed to have figured something out, his heart warming up with excitement. "In that case, the crisis the Fourteenth Master is currently facing might actually become an opportunity for him. Having a powerful Taoist master backing him is much more useful than inheriting the legacy of the previous generation's Taoist master! This has a direct impact on the Fourteenth Master's future position in the palace, and it could even become his ultimate trump card!!"

  Luo Han, although his face is cold and his heart is cold, he is after all a human being, with the seven emotions and six desires that humans should have. He just has them to a lesser extent, and looks at things more openly. Now that his Flower Fox Army has been assigned to Wang Guanlan's command, his fate is already tied to Wang Guanlan's. If one of them suffers a loss, they both suffer; if one of them gains honor, they both gain honor. If Wang Guanlan becomes prominent, then he will naturally be able to bask in the glory as well. As for why a powerful wizard would take Wang Guanlan under his wing, that's not something he concerns himself with. Now, he is eating off of Wang Guanlan's hands!!!

  "So soon!!" Wang Guanlan woke up with a start, lifted the car curtain, and took a glance at the Yicheng city wall nearby. "Forget it, let's not enter the city. We'll go directly to the plantation. You notify Wang Qing to send over all the materials that were previously sent from the Wang Manor. I don't want to waste any more time!!"

  "Yes, young master!" Hong Han responded and backed out.

  "This guy seems more respectful than before, could it be that after returning to Nanhuacheng once, I've gained a bit of the air of a king? If so, then I'll have to go back more often in the future, haha!! On this day, he had already roughly figured out the formation diagram in the Lingyin, of course, it's not like he fully understood it, but as for the actual method of setting up the formation, he now has a good grasp on it."

  "With this formation chart, I can make that place as solid as gold, huh, it seems like I need to build a temple there, and living in Ningtai Hang is not a big deal!!"

  After moving to Yilong City, Wang Guanlan had been living in the backyard of Ningtai Hang all along. Although it was not inferior to ordinary wealthy families in terms of luxury, he always felt that living in a commercial building was not very comfortable. He had long wanted to move out, but hadn't found a suitable place yet. Now, with a complete and suitable layout, he suddenly had the idea of creating a cozy nest.
