Chapter 126 Three Lives, Three Worlds, Southern Beginning 8
Not long after the formation was set up, Mo Yuan quietly came to Taichen Palace and said that someone had broken into the formation.
"Can you trace who it is?" Zheyan asked.
“We tried to track it, but it disappeared in the Eastern Wilderness of Qingqiu.” Mo Yuan said with a stern face.
"Qingqiu?" Nan Chu said meaningfully.
Nan Chu already suspected Qingqiu. Bai Zhen of Qingqiu was a god, but his cultivation was weak, as if he had been pushed up by an external force. Now that the person who broke into the formation had disappeared in Qingqiu, the mastermind behind it was basically locked.
“Zheyan, have you noticed that Bai Zhen of Qingqiu has very low cultivation? Over the years, there have been very few high gods in other regions, but Qingqiu has five. Don’t you notice anything strange?” Nan Chu asked.
Zheyan's brows furrowed more and more as he listened to Nan Chu's words.
Donghua and Moyuan also sensed something was wrong, as if something was blocking their attention, and the fog in front of them was cleared away.
Only Nan Chu, an outsider, could see through the truth at a glance.
"Yes, there are so many strange places, why didn't we notice them?" Zheyan muttered to himself.
Donghua and Moyuan remained silent, their faces ashen, as if they understood something.
Fortunately, Mo Yuan helped her perfect the formation in the end. Otherwise, if the spring in the formation didn't emit black gas, wouldn't that mean someone had destroyed the formation? Mo Yuan set up a deception. The formation, a joint formation of three supreme gods, is something that no one in the entire Four Seas and Eight Desolations has been able to break.
“Since we know that the person who broke into the formation disappeared in the eastern wilderness of Qingqiu, it proves that this matter is inextricably linked to Qingqiu,” Nan Chu said.
"Indeed, I had no idea that Qingqiu could devise so many schemes and tricks right under my nose," Donghua said coldly, his eyes blazing as he spoke each word slowly and deliberately, as if filled with the anger of being fooled.
He lived in harmony with heaven and earth, and from his birth until now, no conspiracy has ever been plotted against him.
"It seems we need to think this through carefully. Although the mastermind has disappeared in Qingqiu, we still don't know if it was Bai Zhi who did it." Mo Yuan speculated, feeling that the other gods in Qingqiu were not a threat.
"Zheyan, you and Qingqiu have such a good relationship, have you noticed anything unusual?" Nan Chu asked, looking at Zheyan who was deep in thought.
Zheyan hadn't reacted yet. All these years, he truly had no idea. Moreover, how could he, one of only two phoenixes in the world, willingly help Bai Zhi raise his child, fall in love with Ning Chang, and even help move the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest to the vicinity of Qingqiu? This was completely illogical.
After Nan Chu exposed the truth, Zhe Yan's face grew darker and darker as he thought about all the bad things he had done over the years.
“Indeed, there are many unreasonable things…” Zheyan murmured.
The three of them discussed it together again. Seeing that they were talking enthusiastically, Nan Chu picked up a book from the table, sat down and started reading.
When they finished their discussion, Donghua saw Nan Chu reading intently, and Zheyan's eyes were full of Nan Chu. A tender feeling welled up in his heart.
After the voices stopped, Nan Chu looked up and asked, "Hmm, you've made up your minds?"
Zheyan said gently, "Yes, we plan to remain hidden and see what Qingqiu does. If Qingqiu doesn't make a move, that's fine, but if Qingqiu..."
At this point, Zheyan snorted coldly, and the demonic energy within him began to surge uncontrollably again. Zheyan quickly touched the jade pendant, and only then was the demonic energy within his body suppressed.
"This deity will make Qingqiu pay." Zheyan spoke each word clearly and deliberately, conveying an unstoppable force.
Mo Yuan didn't say anything, but the expression on his face showed that his opinion was the same as Zhe Yan and Dong Hua's.
Zheyan and Moyuan went back, while Nan Chu continued reading in Taichen Palace.
Nan Chu's life settled down. She and Dong Hua usually got along very well. Whenever Dong Hua had free time, Nan Chu would go to ask him for advice. Dong Hua's knowledge was really good. At least he wasn't like Zhe Yan, who was good at only one subject. Nan Chu could read very quickly.
Before, when I was reading books with Zheyan, I had to figure out most of them on my own, and it often took me several months to finish a book. Now, I can finish a book in just a few days, and I even have a teacher to guide me.
Perhaps it's because Nan Chu has read a lot of books that she is able to apply what she's learned to other situations.
Several hundred years later, Nan Chu received a message telling her to go back, and that she was supposed to be reading a book, but instead she was acting like she was in seclusion, not returning to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest for hundreds of years.
Nan Chu was planning to return to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest recently, as the system said the plot was about to begin, and she intended to go and take a look.
Nan Chu came to find Dong Hua. A person in purple robes was fishing with their eyes closed by the pond. She walked up to them and said, "Your Majesty, I need to go back to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest soon."
Donghua opened his eyes, glanced at the woman in the blue dress, felt a little disappointed, and said, "Since you want to go back, why don't I, the High God, accompany you back? Besides, didn't I tell you to call me Donghua? It's getting too formal to keep calling me Emperor."
Nan Chu shook her head repeatedly and said cautiously, "There's no need to trouble Emperor... Donghua. I can go back to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest by myself."
Seeing Nan Chu's troubled and cautious appearance, Donghua didn't say anything more.
Nan Chu returned to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, where Zhe Yan and Bai Qian stood together.
Bai Qian is indeed very beautiful, after all, she is a unique beauty in the Four Seas and Eight Deserts, but Bai Qian's cultivation level is the same as it was 50,000 years ago, proving that Bai Qian has not cultivated at all.
"Nan Chu, you're back." Zhe Yan said happily. He was just about to go find Mo Yuan, and now they've locked onto the people of Qingqiu. Not long after, Bai Zhi asked him to take Bai Qian to Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple and learn martial arts. What a 'coincidence'.
Bai Qian saw Nan Chu pause for a moment, then turned her head and snorted coldly.
Nan Chu completely ignored Bai Qian, after all, she was a goddess.
"Yes, I've been staying at Taichen Palace, so I came back to visit the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest," Nan Chu said calmly.
Bi Fang also came out of the house. After Nan Chu went on his travels, Bi Fang also went into seclusion to cultivate. A thousand years ago, Bi Fang cultivated to become an immortal. Recently, Bi Fang felt that he needed to consolidate his cultivation, so he went into seclusion for another thousand years and only recently came out of seclusion.
"Young Master, you're back," Bi Fang said happily.
Nan Chu smiled faintly at Bi Fang.
"What's wrong?" Nan Chu asked knowingly.
“Bai Zhi asked me to take Bai Qian to Kunlun Mountain to learn from a master. Nan Chu, you haven’t been to Kunlun Mountain before, have you? Why don’t we go and have a look?” Zhe Yan suggested.
Zheyan didn't expect Nan Chu to suddenly return. Now that Nan Chu has just returned, he is going to Kunlun Mountain. Wouldn't that mean he will miss spending time with Nan Chu again?
"No, this goddess doesn't want to go with this person. Zheyan, don't take her with you. She's a bad woman." Before Nan Chu could speak, Bai Qian was furious.
Bai Qian herself didn't want to find a master or learn any skills, but her father insisted that she go to Kunlun Mountain, or else he would cut off her tail if she didn't go.
Now that she has to bring along someone she dislikes, Bai Qian spoke up directly.
Zheyan felt irritated after hearing Bai Qian's words. The Bai family was already unsure of what to do, and now Bai Qian was being so ungrateful.
"Nonsense, Bai Qian!" Zheyan scolded.
Bai Qian threw a tantrum and ran back to Qingqiu. No one knows what the Bai family said, but in the end she still went to Kunlun Mountain, with Nan Chu and Bi Fang following her.
Nan Chu wanted to see what the Bai family was planning, while Bi Fang wanted to follow the young master.
