"Senior Brother Yun Lan has only died a few years ago, and the real culprit has not yet been found. How could Zi Yan..."

True Lord Zixia sighed quietly and declined politely.

"Don't use Yun Lan as a shield. Your relationship with him has broken off. There is no real Taoist couple relationship. It's not like I don't know about it, sister."

"According to my sister's advice, Yu Yuanjin is the best among the contemporary Yuanyings of the royal family. In a few hundred years, when the elders retire, he is likely to become the leader of the Daewoo royal family."

"If you two become Taoist couples, the royal family will take care of the Yunxia Sect in the future. In the negotiations with the Ye family in a few days, my sister and I, as the mediator, will definitely not cause you to suffer."

The Red Sleeve Lord gave many hints in his words.

Facing this friendly royal female Nascent Soul, Fairy Zixia was secretly vigilant and dealt with her carefully.

True Monarch Hongxiu is the cousin of the current Emperor Yu according to blood relationship. She has always been the trusted confidant of Emperor Yu and the chief steward of the royal family.

If it is for selfish desires, Zixia Zhenjun knows that Yu Yuanjin is a good choice as a Taoist companion.

With Yu Yuanjin's excellence, the two of them may be able to jointly rule Dayu in the future.

The chance of obtaining the treasured resources of the royal family and being promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul is higher than that of ordinary forces.

However, the dowry behind this is the Yunxia Sect.

Jiang Ziyan, who grew up practicing in the Yunxia Sect since childhood, did not want the sect's orthodoxy to fall by the wayside and be swallowed up by the royal family.

Revitalizing and protecting the sect is a shared ambition between her and her senior brother.

The two of them had made an oath before their master was alive and in front of the memorial tablet of their previous master.

"Emperor Yu promised that the royal family would not interfere in the affairs of Yunxia Sect and maintain the independence of its orthodoxy..."

Red Sleeve Lord smiled sweetly, obviously knowing Lord Zixia's concerns.

During the conversation, Zixia Zhenjun turned his eyes and waved to receive a communication talisman flying from a distance.

When the two true monarchs were talking, unless it was urgent and important information, the monks stationed there would never interrupt them.

Um?

True Monarch Zixia's consciousness received the contents of the communication talisman. After being stunned for a short time, her starry eyes flashed with a strange look, and her lips pursed slightly.

The exciting news from the Tengling Mine eliminated her passive situation before the negotiation and gained unexpected bargaining chips.

Otherwise, if she refuses the royal family's matchmaking, she will definitely not get any "preferential treatment" in subsequent negotiations and coordination.

The Ye family, one of the four major aristocratic families, has always had a marriage relationship with the Daewoo royal family.

Within the scope allowed by the rules, the royal family's tendency will obviously affect the distribution of resource interests.

"It's really enviable for Yanmei to have the lucky general 'Xiang Dalong'."

The Red Sleeve Lord sighed softly. She touched the trembling jade bracelet on her wrist and received an intelligence message from the royal family.

The Tie clan leader "Tie Danxin" supported by the Ye family was killed by Elder Xiang. The Ye family camp was defeated and withdrew, and the situation was over.

Later, the bizarre "Peacock Disaster" made the Ye family even worse, and almost lost the possibility of a comeback.

"Elder Xiang is indeed the lucky star of our sect."

True Lord Zixia smiled happily, thinking that the Yunxia Sect had been very lucky in the decades since Xiang Dalong joined.

In addition to the Taoist couple who risked their lives and died, a Dan-Jie Daxiu was born within the sect, an immortal golden elixir and a half-step golden elixir.

Within the sect, a fourth-level holy beast was born, which barely made up for the Taoist companion's loss of top-level combat power.

This time, the victory established by Elder Xiang gave her absolute initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

…

The news coming from the Tengling Mine made Red Sleeve Master not in the mood to "play matchmaker" here, and he quickly left.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhenjun Zixia stood there and thought deeply for a long time.

She didn't know what she thought of, but her joyful mood was somewhat diluted.

"I am the only female Nascent Soul left in the Yunxia Sect. As long as I am single and no other Nascent Soul is born in the Taoist lineage, the Daewoo royal family will probably not give up the idea of ​​​​matching her easily."

Jiang Ziyan's eyes showed worry. Ever since she took charge of the sect, her heart has always been uneasy.

Although the sect has a fourth-level holy beast that serves as a Nascent Soul combat force, he is still an outsider after all, and his sense of belonging to the Yunxia Sect is far less than that of her and senior brother Yunlan.

After Elder Xiang was transferred to the mine, True Lord Zixia got along with Lord Diyan. The latter had no dependence on her and lacked awe and obedience to her.

Mr. Diyan is only loyal to Elder Xiang and loves his father and daughter, so it is difficult to develop a relationship with her.

In this unreliable situation, he also faced the covetousness of the Daewoo royal family.

Zixia Zhenjun suspected that the Ye family's action to compete for the mines might be driven by the royal family behind the scenes in order to force her to submit.

The royal family wanted to bring Xiang Dalong and Princess Zhiwei together, and she saw it.

In the battle at the mine, Xiang Dalong defeated Ye Fanchen, the descendant of Tianjiang Pavilion, and became more and more dazzling. Coupled with the fourth-level spiritual pet he possesses, he will definitely be poached by the major forces in the Central Region in the future.

In the final analysis, Xiang Dalong is a guest minister who joined the Yunxia Sect midway, so he has "slits" to exploit.

Fairy Zixia actually knows that there is an almost perfect solution to the current situation.

As long as she and Xiang Dalong become Taoist partners, these problems will be easily solved.

By then, Xiang Dalong and Diyan Lord will become their own, truly bound to the Yunxia Sect, and will not worry about being poached.

After forming a Taoist couple, the Dayu royal family would no longer bring her and Yu Yuanjin together, leaving an important flaw in the Yunxia sect.

She has always admired Xiang Dalong's character, talents and abilities, but she didn't have that kind of admiration for him.

Nothing is perfect, and this shortcoming is not harmful.

However, as the Nascent Soul True Monarch and the famous Zixia Fairy in the Central Region, she could not let go of her reserve and reveal her feelings to a low-level monk.

If Xiang Dalong refuses, how will the two get along in the future? How embarrassing will it be?

Therefore, this matter can only be realized unless Xiang Dalong takes the initiative to pursue it or expresses his love to her.

…

Half a month later.

Lu Changan is still recovering from his injuries in the mine and has not left Hidden Bamboo Pavilion.

A few days ago, he was wary of the Nascent Soul Lord who was in charge of the Ye Family. He investigated the whereabouts of the "Five-Colored Peacock" and found it here, so he never let the supernatural peacock come back.

Fortunately, the Yuan Ying clan leader of the Ye family only conducted a symbolic search within the Ye family's sphere of influence for a few days, but there was no substantial breakthrough, and the matter was finally settled.

This result was within Lu Changan's expectation.

The third-level spiritual ship faced a disaster and lost two true elixir monks, among whom the man with the strange face was a guest.

In fact, the Ye family only lost one middle-stage pill-forming monk and a group of middle- and lower-level monks.

For a force like Jinyun Valley, it is a serious injury.

For a family of the size of the Ye family, this is not an unacceptable heavy loss.

If we make an enemy of a mysterious fourth-level heavenly peacock for this reason, we will lose more than we gain.

Even if the two Nascent Souls of the Ye family join forces, they will not be able to defeat the true fourth-level heavenly five-color peacock. In terms of speed alone, they cannot catch up.

Regarding the bizarre appearance of the five-color peacock, various forces have general speculations.

Or it's Yunxia Sect's hidden trump card.

Either a fourth-level spiritual bird was passing by nearby, and it was a random act to smash its teeth as a sacrifice.

The latter has a relatively high degree of recognition.

Because the Great Abyss is close to the sea, big monsters sometimes come to land to commit crimes, plundering and devouring some two-legged beasts.

This situation is more common along the coast and near islands.

After confirming that the Ye family did not investigate further, Lu Changan quietly went out and brought back the supernatural peacock and the trophies.

…

Two months later.

The results of the mediation between the Yunxia Sect and the Ye family in the royal family came.

The Tengling Mine belongs to the Yunxia Sect. The Ye family has suffered a lot and has not been able to share the expected industrial benefits.

On this day, Lu Changan, who was studying the inheritance of the Puppet Attack, suddenly sensed a huge aura of the Nascent Soul stage, approaching the Tengling Mine.

Soon, a cloud of clouds emerged from the sky and descended on the mine.

"Meet the Supreme Elder!"

Surrounded by the misty rays of the sun, the dreamlike and graceful figure of Fairy Zixia fell into the center of the bamboo forest in the mine.

Lu Changan and Master Xiuyu came forward to greet Master Zixia.

"In the previous battle, the performance of the Tengling Mine was commendable. Ben Zhenjun returned from the royal family negotiations and came here specifically to take a look."

After Zhenjun Zixia praised him a little, he dismissed everyone and talked to Lu Changan alone.

Inside the Yinzhu Pavilion.
