In every generation, there are talented individuals who lead the way!
Chen Anlin was at a loss for words. He initially thought this person was in some sort of predicament, only to realize he was just a show-off. This show-off was different from the previous arrogant protagonist he had encountered. This person was putting on an act from the heart; while it might be awkward, there’s a saying: as long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassment belongs to others. Thus, he exuded confidence.
As for the earlier encounter with Li Que, that had been a forced pretense—an act that felt entirely contrived.
Chen Anlin played along, “Words and phrases!”
“Oh, Sir Chen, do you think what I said qualifies as words and phrases?” Tang Tianyue responded eagerly, pleased to receive recognition.
“Indeed! As the saying goes, in every generation, there are talented individuals who lead the way! I observe that Tang is truly a person of talent—a pillar for our Great Zhou!”
Tang Tianyue relished such flattery and smiled, “Oh, where do you find such praise? I still have much to learn. Allow me to pay my respects to Sir Chen first.”
Previously, he had heard that Chen Anlin was a wastrel—merely a sycophant by the side of the Empress, unworthy of mention. However, upon meeting him today, he began to doubt those rumors.
Look at Chen Anlin; how eloquent he is! How could someone like him be merely a flatterer? After all, he had painstakingly learned the phrase about grasping the sun and moon and plucking stars—a phrase he had shared with many, yet most had shown little reaction. Only Chen Anlin had recognized its elegance!
This indicated that he was different from ordinary people. Moreover, his remark about talented individuals leading the way was quite impressive.
With this thought in mind, Tang Tianyue quickly took out a small notebook to jot down the phrase. Hmm, I’ll memorize this later; I can use it too.
“Are you here to exorcise evil spirits as well?” Chen Anlin shifted to serious matters. “Have you made any discoveries?”
“Please call me ‘Gentleman’!” Tang Tianyue reminded him before continuing, “In recent days, this Gentleman has discovered quite a lot here. It seems that once someone goes up there, they never come back down. I’ve inquired around but found nothing substantial.”
"It’s like saying nothing at all. So, what are you doing here this time?"
The gentleman said, preparing to charge forward. Tang Tianyue clasped his hands together and replied, "Let’s go together."
"Let’s move."
Chen Anlin nodded.
Tang Tianyue was at the fourth rank of cultivation, and with such luck, following him would definitely pose no problem.
Thinking of this, Chen Anlin couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He suddenly realized that his luck was quite good; he had encountered a minor luck child. As long as he stayed close to him, he would likely avoid any significant issues.
As they ascended the steps, they hadn’t walked far when a series of piercing wails echoed around them.
"I don’t want to die!"
"Kill! Kill that surnamed Ye!!"
"Ye, Ye, seeking immortality! Hahaha!"
The voices were a mix of cries and laughter, chillingly sorrowful, causing unease to creep into their hearts.
Suddenly, a blood-red figure floated down from above, grabbing hold of a guard by the neck and letting out a horrifying scream before twisting violently!
"Ah!"
The guard’s head fell instantly, blood spraying over three meters high.
"Be careful of the vengeful spirits around!"
Li Lianan drew his knife.
Swish! Swish! Swish!!
All the guards immediately drew their weapons, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Chen Anlin noticed that the blades of these guards were stained with blood, seemingly effective against evil spirits.
He quickened his pace; he didn’t need to act himself since the White Jade Fairy was protecting him.
At that moment, he truly understood how delightful it was to have a golden finger.
With the help of the Jade Fairy, he had no worries at all. If he were to encounter a fierce ghost, he could handle it with ease. The knife in Tang Tianyue's hand was no ordinary weapon; it radiated a scorching heat that made even the fierce ghosts hesitate to approach.
Before long, after losing three of his guards, Chen Anlin had led his men to the entrance of the De Yun Temple. Looking up, he saw three golden characters: De Yun Temple! The grand entrance was in ruins, long since lost to time. Inside, cobwebs hung thickly, but what puzzled him was the absence of any corpses. Wasn't it said that many people had vanished from here?
Where had those people gone?
Suddenly, Chen Anlin noticed that the aura above Tang Tianyue's head had increased. It surged upward, revealing a significant amount of virtual fortune. This indicated that Tang Tianyue might soon experience a stroke of great luck.
"Tang Tianyue, have you discovered anything?" Chen Anlin asked.
Tang Tianyue shook his head. "No discoveries yet, but we'll know once we go in. To be honest, I’ve heard through some whispers that this place might be a stronghold for the Seeking Immortals Sect."
"Oh? A stronghold?"
"Yes. Weren't you previously dealing with the young master of the Seeking Immortals Sect, Ye Hao? This place might very well be hiding some of their secrets."
Just as Tang Tianyue speculated, the Jade Fairy informed Chen Anlin that within the temple's statue lay a fierce ghost—the strongest one in this area.
Chen Anlin remained silent, pretending not to know, and invited Tang Tianyue to enter. He had already made up his mind; wherever Tang Tianyue went, he would follow.
Tang Tianyue clearly possessed great abilities. Upon entering, he indeed discovered a fierce ghost hidden within a broken statue inside the temple.
"Lord Chen, please step back and let me handle this."
Now, Tang Tianyue has developed quite a fondness for Chen Anlin, even considering him a confidant! After all, Chen Anlin is the only one who believes that he can articulate his thoughts eloquently. Bold and fierce, yet still not revealing his true form!
