The young man seemed truly desperate. With a loud shout, he aimed a flamboyantly flashy swordsmanship move at Yang Zhen. True Essence surged up and violent waves of divine consciousness erupted, charging straight towards Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen almost burst out laughing. He quickly glared, sent his divine consciousness back, and instantly sent the young man’s divine consciousness crashing back. Swiftly, he seized the man’s long sword.

The young man grunted, his face turned pale, and he retreated several steps until he collided with the young woman, finally coming to a stop.

The young woman cried out in surprise and quickly supported the young man.

Yang Zhen calmly walked over to a table, sat down, and reached for the teapot, only to find it empty. He then looked up at the two people.

The young woman hurried up to him and said, “Sir…sir, I’ll pour you some water.”

At this point, the two realized that Yang Zhen was not a disciple of the Spiritual Studies Palace, nor did he want to take their lives. Flustered, the young man approached in disbelief, cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Daoist, I am nothing but a rogue practitioner living near the Spiritual Studies Palace. I am not even a menial worker in the palace, and I honestly don’t know anything.”

Yang Zhen nodded, glanced at the departing woman, and asked, “How did she know, then?”

The young man’s face twitched at the corner of his mouth. Seeing Yang Zhen looking stern, he hastily replied, “Little Ling is a helper in the meal room. She gets along with the female disciples of the Spiritual Studies Palace, so she has access to many places.”

“She can freely enter and leave?” Yang Zhen was startled. He liked this term: “Can she also freely enter and leave the birthday celebration?”

The young man was taken aback. He didn’t expect Yang Zhen to suddenly ask such a question. Upon looking around, he whispered, “Sir, the birthday celebration will be filled with powerful figures, many from the Divine Travel Realm. I even heard rumors that a great power at the Tribulation Crossing Period might show up to discuss something about the Forbidden Land of Life. If you’re thinking about seeking revenge, the birthday celebration is the last place you should go. It’s far too dangerous.”

Damn it, that was an absurd assumption!

Yang Zhen stared at the young man. Although he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, he was a decent person who took his concerns into consideration. So, he leaned towards the young man and said, “You’re barking up the wrong tree. Truthfully, I’m not going to the birthday celebration to seek revenge, but to…to…oh, you know…that thing!”

“You want to steal people!” The young man exclaimed, then quickly covered his own mouth, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief and said in shock, “Sir, is it…is it that your beloved is a female disciple of the Spiritual Studies Palace?”

Yang Zhen shook his head with a troubled look on his face and sighed, “Yes, you can understand this kind of suffering.”

The young man slapped his thigh, looked around carefully, and cursed when he saw no one around. “It’s true. Everything is fine about the Spiritual Studies Palace, except that they don’t allow disciples to form Dao couples with outsiders. What kind of bullshit rule is that? What’s even more absurd is that this rule also includes the menial workers of the Spiritual Studies Palace. Poor Little Ling and I, who have been in love for many years, have to sneak around like thieves. Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”

“However…” The young man slapped the table and said earnestly to Yang Zhen, “But rest assured, my friend. You and I are both unfortunate, but I will spare no effort to help you wherever I can. It is not quite feasible to get into the birthday celebration, though. How about this, what’s the name of your beloved? I will have Little Ling call her out at the celebration, and then you two can be together.”

Looking at the young man’s facial expression, which read, ‘You know what I mean, we’re all in the same boat,’ Yang Zhen almost kicked him. What a shameless bastard!

Yang Zhen grabbed the young man’s hand and said, “Brother, if you can help me with this, you will be my flesh and blood brother.”

“Sure thing!” The young man waved his hand and said, “I can see that Brother Dingtian is a passionate man. Otherwise, you would not have accidentally intruded here while looking for your beloved. Rest assured, although I, Lu Benwei, am not a big shot, I have a passionate heart. Once Little Ling comes back, I will have her figure out a way to help you.”

“So, you are Brother Lu. Nice to meet you!” said Yang Zhen as he quickly cupped his hands together.

“Eh, Brother Dingtian, you know me?” Lu Benwei looked surprised.

Yang Zhen glanced at the entrance and said, “Pay no mind to these trivial details, how come Little Ling still hasn’t returned?”

Lu Benwei’s face turned pale, and he said in surprise, “Indeed, counting the time, she should have been back by now.”

At that moment, a commotion suddenly arose from outside the door. A group of people stormed in, all with faces of anger, causing Yang Zhen and Lu Benwei to look at each other in bewilderment.

“Damn, your sweetheart seems to have sold us out.” Yang Zhen said, trying to suppress his laughter.

Lu Benwei turned white and, not daring to believe, shook his head and said, “No, no way, Little Ling wouldn’t betray me, she’s known me for so many years, she… she knows my heart!”

Yang Zhen sighed, she knows your heart, but she doesn’t understand the heart of this Sao Saint.

At this point, the crowd surged in, and seeing Yang Zhen and Lu Benwei, their wrathful expressions intensified, “What are you two still doing standing there, aren’t you going to prepare, do you still want to enter the meal room or not?” “What on earth?” Yang Zhen looked bewildered, and, after exchanging a glance with Lu Benwei, saw the same confusion reflected in his eyes.

Before Yang Zhen could even speak, a hefty woman walked over from within the crowd and hauled Yang Zhen and Lu Benwei out of the door without a word. Along the way, she warned, “Listen up, the rules of the Spiritual Studies Palace meal room are plentiful. If I find out you two aren’t really wanting to join the meal room, I will chop you up with this huge kitchen knife, and feed you to the jackals in the back mountain.”

Lu Benwei shuddered and nearly burst into tears. He looked around and saw no trace of Little Ling.

Yang Zhen was not afraid of a kitchen knife, but he too was utterly baffled, trying to figure out what had happened.

Then the woman huffed again, “Little Ling is a good kid, her cousin is our kin. If it weren’t for their repeated recommendations, you two wouldn’t have had the chance to try out at the meal room.”

“Little Ling?” Shaken, Lu Benwei urgently asked, “Auntie, where is Little Ling?” “What Auntie, where’s an Auntie, your whole family is made up of Aunties!” The woman suddenly glared, her spit flying into Lu Benwei’s mouth. The sight of Lu Benwei, wanting to retch but not daring to, made Yang Zhen chuckle with amusement.

The woman glared at Yang Zhen, and he quickly said, “May I ask Miss, what are we going to do?”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s question, the woman’s once fearsome face suddenly lit up with a smile. She patted Yang Zhen’s hand and said, “This young lad sure knows how to speak. Oh, and he’s good-looking too. Work hard, and you might end up marrying a maid from the meal room and make her your Dao companion. That sounds like a perfect life, doesn’t it? Don’t worry, you won’t have to do much. As long as you are not clumsy, Nong Yu will pull some strings for you!”

Lu Benwei was staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief, and sneakily gave Yang Zhen a thumbs-up. Although he was still utterly confused, he more or less understood now. He and Yang Zhen actually had a chance to get into the meal room. This… this was an absolute piece of great news!

Out of curiosity, Yang Zhen asked, “Do we really not have to do anything?”

“That’s not entirely true!” Nong Yu turned around and flashed a flirtatious smile at Yang Zhen, “If you are handy and have some knowledge about spiritual meals, maybe you can become an assistant to the Spiritual Meal Master. If so, your status in the meal room would be quite high, you’d gain the affection of many young maids.”

Spiritual meals?

Yang Zhen paused, damn, it turned out he did have some expertise in spiritual meals, and quite an extensive one at that.

Oh, this was getting interesting now!
