Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 691: Chapter 272: The One Who Acts on Behalf of the Heavenly Dao_3

"Because... I just wanted to show you."

The scorching love almost burned Fan Wubing.

...

The construction ceremony of the Qiming Realm was held as scheduled, just as expected. Only the local powers of Little South Continent, unaffected by external influences, and old friends who had supported the Fan Family, or rather, Fan Wubing, from the beginning, participated in the ceremony.

Grand Elder Huai Jingming of the Heaven-Questioning Sect and Young Master Tang Tang of the Heaven and Earth Bank personally attended, giving ample face.

It was something of a triumph.

The Daoist White Jade Capital and Confucian Wenxin Heaven did not officially send anyone to offer congratulations. However, at the ceremony, Fan Wubing did spot an acquaintance—Xue Ya.

Needless to say, she must have come for personal matters but refrained from showing herself due to her status.

After the lively and grand ceremony ended, Xue Ya sought out Fan Wubing immediately.

The two met in Fan Wubing’s private courtyard.

"Celestial Venerable Youxuan, it’s been a while." Fan Wubing smiled and said, "By coming here, you’ve breached certain taboos."

Xue Ya’s appearance was as carefree as before, wearing just a Daoist robe. Her abundant figure swayed with her steps, surrounded by an air of uninhibited Daoist intention that made one feel incredibly relaxed and at ease.

Xue Ya covered her mouth and giggled, "You used to call me good sister, and now it’s Celestial Venerable Youxuan."

Fan Wubing still held quite a bit of affection for this sister.

"What made you want to see me? Aren’t you in the Fallen Immortal Land of Taiping Continent?"

"How did you know I was there?" Xue Ya’s eyes shimmered, "Could it be... you’ve seen me already?"

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Sister Youxuan, stop teasing me. You definitely already know that the dream in the Fallen Immortal Land was real."

"Oh, you! How dare you play tricks on your sister." Xue Ya feigned anger. "You saw me long ago, yet delayed until now?"

"You’re a major figure in the Daoist school; surely you can understand me." Fan Wubing shrugged his neck.

Xue Ya paused, then sighed, "You really have made a big joke out of this world. White Jade Capital’s stance is very firm; they are absolutely against you."

"Sister Youxuan put it quite mildly. I assume White Jade Capital’s stance is that I must face celestial punishment, right?"

Xue Ya furrowed her brow slightly, "White Jade Capital commands the Cultivation Realm; they are destined by the heavens to have such an attitude."

"No need to explain, sister. I can understand."

"However, I actually have good news to bring you."

"What is it?"

"Although you defy the Heavenly Dao and are not accepted by the world, neither White Jade Capital nor Wenxin Heaven has the right to punish you. The only ones who can besides the Heavenly Dao itself are the Heavenly Dao Executors."

"Executors?"

"Commonly known as Heaven’s Chosen, those who are born to be imparted with heavenly will. For example, the famous Immortal Su Saintess of the Immortal Continent, Jian Shi Tathagata of Miaomu Continent, Red Heart Great Sword Immortal of Sword Continent, and those hidden in the shadows whose identities are not revealed."

"There are actually such people?"

Xue Ya showed a suggestive smile, "Now, there’s a rumor going around that your little lady, Fu Manman, is also an executor. The scene of mandarin ducks killing each other is exciting just to imagine." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Impossible. Man’Er cannot be an executor."

Xue Ya did not dwell on this matter and lightly sighed.

"Either way, your path will not be easy. That’s all I can say."

"Aren’t you colluding with the enemy? Aren’t you afraid of being punished when you return to White Jade Capital?"

"Would you feel sorry for your sister?" Xue Ya asked mischievously.

"Of course, I would feel sorry."

"Only feel sorry?"

The atmosphere turned ambiguous. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Ahem!" A deliberate cough disrupted the mood.

Grand Elder Huai Jingming stood at the Moon Gate.

Xue Ya rolled her eyes, "Here comes the one to ruin the mood." She waved her hand and softly said to Fan Wubing, "Sister is leaving. Don’t fall too soon and disappoint me, little lord."

With that, she floated away.

"Heroes can’t resist beauties." Huai Jingming, a tall elderly man, stood there like a tree.

He had indeed been a locust tree for over ten thousand years.

Fan Wubing smiled, "Greetings, senior. However, I don’t agree with what you said. Celestial Venerable Youxuan is indeed a beauty that moves the heart, but I’m no hero."

Huai Jingming didn’t take offense to these words and said seriously,

"You’ve lost some of your sharpness compared to before. It seems you’ve recognized some truths."

"Recognizing doesn’t mean agreeing."

"There’s truth in that." Huai Jingming nodded.

"Did you come here to say something to me, senior?"

Huai Jingming shook his head, "Your actions are unpredictable, so it’s hard to leave you with any advice. I just want to say, if you believe what you’re doing is right, then go ahead and do it steadfastly. The Heaven-Questioning Sect has some influence and can provide you with some support on certain occasions."

"Is this your standpoint, or... the stance of the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable?"

A gleam passed through Huai Jingming’s eyes, "Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable."

Fan Wubing stood in respectful awe.

He realized that this might be the first time he directly sensed the will of the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, aside from that drop of blood from the Fan Family Forbidden Land long ago.

He couldn’t help but wonder,

What kind of person was the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, ranked first on the celestial maiden list?

He fixed his gaze on Huai Jingming, "I want to meet her."

Huai Jingming shook his head,

"It’s not the right time."

"When is the right time?"

"When the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable comes to meet you, that’ll be the time." Huai Jingming said seriously, "Of course, that depends on your performance. She might come to see you tomorrow or might never see you at all."

"I have one more question."

"Please ask."

"Am I now carrying her blood in my body?"

Huai Jingming didn’t answer. After a long time, he solemnly nodded.

A shadow shrouded Fan Wubing’s face.
