Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Chulan and put his arm around his shoulder."
"Chu Lan, what are you looking for?”
Hearing Zhang Zhiwei's question, Zhang Chulan secretly cursed herself for being stupid. There was clearly someone who knew the inside story beside her, so why did she have to spend so much effort to find him?
After giving Zhang Zhiwei a big smile, Zhang Chulan said,"
"Grand Master, our Mount Longhu sent someone to invite me to participate in the Heavenly Grand Ritual. At that time…"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately reacted.
"You're looking for Xuan Qing ~ Then you might be disappointed. He's currently in seclusion in the library pavilion. It's already been more than half a month. Counting the days, he should be coming out soon. If you're lucky, you should be able to see him before the finals.”
At this point, Zhang Zhiwei put his arm around Zhang Chulan's shoulder and led him into the Celestial Master Residence. He turned around and reminded Zhang Lingyu,
"Lingyu, I have something to tell Chu Lan. Go and welcome the other guests.”
After watching Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Chulan disappear, Zhang Lingyu did not go to the front mountain to receive the guests. Instead, she left these matters to Ji Yun and Ye Xing while she rushed to the back mountain.
As a high-ranking cultivator of the Celestial Master Residence, Zhang Lingyu was also very powerful. Under the circumstances where she did not hesitate to use her Qi and her movement technique, Zhang Lingyu only took ten minutes to rush from the front mountain to the back mountain.
"Phew-"
Standing outside the library, Zhang Lingyu slowly adjusted her breathing before raising her hand to knock on the door. However, just as she raised her hand, the door of the library opened by itself.
"Lingyu greets Martial Uncle Xuanqing!"
No matter how many times Zhang Xuanqing had told him that there was no need to be so formal, Zhang Lingyu would still be polite when she saw him. Over time, Zhang Xuanqing let him be.
"Lingyu, come in."
Zhang Xuanqing turned his body to let Zhang Lingyu into the pavilion and closed the door. Zhang Xuanqing returned to his previous seat and sat down. Only then did he look at Zhang Lingyu, who was sitting at the side.
"Tell me, why did you come looking for me? Counting the time, today should be the day the Heavenly Grand Ritual begins. Shouldn't you be receiving guests outside now?”
Zhang Lingyu didn't answer Zhang Xuanqing's question. Instead, she said," I saw him."
"You saw him?"
Zhang Xuanqing thought for a moment and immediately understood what Zhang Lingyu meant.
"Are you talking about Chu Lan? Did he make you angry?”
"That's not true. When he saluted, he was quite respectful. But for some reason, when I saw him, I felt an indescribable…disgust?”
In fact, even Zhang Zhiwei did not know that in Zhang Lingyu's heart, although the person she admired the most was him, the person she was closest to was his Youngest Uncle. Therefore, when she encountered trouble, her first choice was not to tell Zhang Zhiwei, but to look for Zhang Xuanqing.
"Do you hate it?"
Looking at Zhang Lingyu, who was a little distressed and even at a loss, Zhang Xuanqing sighed imperceptibly. Although his arrival prevented Zhang Lingyu from getting together with Xia He, he still lost his virginity just like in the original novel.
After that, although he had accepted this relationship and was able to face Lu Linglong, he still had a knot in his heart that he could not get over, and this knot was himself.
"Lingyu, do you know why you have such an attitude?”
Zhang Xuanqing gently closed the Daoist Canon in his hand and set it aside. He tried to enlighten his martial nephew.
"…It's…because of jealousy…"
Zhang Lingyu's voice was very soft, but in this quiet library, it was guaranteed that Zhang Xuanqing could hear him.
"Lingyu, do you know that you've always been a good child in the eyes of your senior brothers? You've always done everything perfectly, even better than me. It's precisely because of this that, over time, you've developed the illusion that you're perfect.”
Zhang Xuanqing looked at Zhang Lingyu, who was listening attentively to his speech, and felt more confident.
"But Lingyu, our ancestors once told us that humans are not saints. You and I are just ordinary people. How can we be perfect?”
"But…"
Although Zhang Lingyu felt that something was wrong, he was interrupted by Zhang Xuanqing before he could finish speaking.
"No buts, Lingyu. The reason why you feel disgusted and angry when you see Zhang Chulan is because you've never looked at yourself properly.”
Looking at Zhang Lingyu, who lowered her head and remained silent, Zhang Xuanqing smiled.
"Lingyu, you can face Linglong and your relationship, but why can't you face the consequences? If you say you can't do it, then I'll teach you a way!”
Hearing Zhang Xuanqing's words, Zhang Lingyu suddenly raised her head and looked at her Youngest Uncle with a hopeful gaze.
"Go to the Heavenly Grand Ritual and defeat Zhang Chulan fair and square. During this process, you will find what you want.”
Zhang Xuanqing knew very well that although his words had shaken Zhang Lingyu's heart, it would not be so fast to untie the knot in his heart. If he wanted to untie the knot in his heart as quickly as possible, the best way was undoubtedly to give him a strong dose of medicine and force him to face his heart.
Although Zhang Lingyu didn't understand Zhang Xuanqing's intentions, when she saw that Zhang Xuanqing had picked up the Daoist Canon again and had no intention of speaking again, she could only silently bow and turn around to leave the library.
After the door of the library pavilion was closed, Zhang Xuanqing spoke again,"
"Senior martial brother, Lingyu has already left. Shouldn't you come out too?”
As soon as Zhang Xuanqing finished speaking, an old figure walked out from the dark corner of the bookshelf. Who else could it be other than the old Celestial Master, Zhang Zhiwei?
"Xuan Qing, do you really think that Chu Lan can help Lingyu?”
Zhang Zhiwei said as he slowly walked over to Zhang Xuanqing and sat down opposite him.
Zhang Xuanqing rolled his eyes in disdain at Zhang Zhiwei's question.
" Senior martial brother, do you really not understand? The person I really wanted him to face was never Zhang Chulan, but the perfect version of himself that he imagined in the depths of his heart. That is his true inner demon. Only by completely defeating this inner demon can Lingyu truly control the Yin Lightning.”
"Hehe, Xuan Qing, you've seen through it very clearly. Lingyu's knot can be untied, but what about yours? What is the knot in your heart?"
Facing Zhang Zhiwei's probing and concern, Zhang Xuanqing sighed and walked to the window, leaving only his back view.
