Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 359 - 192: The Observatory Master’s Identity! Becoming the Master of the School of Non-action

In the forest, lifting my head to see the bright moon, I realized that the Jade Rabbit was pounding medicine.

Rabbit, Lin Jianyue.

That night, after the fierce battle between Zhang Fan and Li Changgeng at the Imprisoned Immortal Temple, Lin Jianyue and the brothers Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang were taken away by Zhao Jie Xuan, with their whereabouts unknown.

Considering Zhao Jie Xuan’s lawless nature, Zhang Fan guessed they probably had been silenced.

But he never dreamed that Lin Jianyue not only survived, but made her way to Yujing City, seeking him out. The most absurd part was that she, a Wuwei Sect member and a member of the Thirteen Zodiacs, actually found herself at the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance!?

Isn’t this like a mouse stumbling into a cat’s den!?

"Zhang Fan, who’s this lady...?"

Sui Chunsheng looked at Lin Jianyue, his eyes brightening as he couldn’t help but ask.

Though he was a Daoist, a cultivator, Lin Jianyue’s appearance and demeanor were exceptional, her every move like the moon drifting in the sky, possessing a certain indescribable charm.

Even Sui Chunsheng couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.

"She... She..."

"I’m his friend."

Lin Jianyue’s lips curled slightly, dimples appearing as she looked at Zhang Fan with a generous smile.

"Well then... I’ll be off for now, we’ll be in touch later."

Zhang Fan hurriedly got up. Before Sui Chunsheng could react, he grabbed the Tiger Bone Wine, tucked in the tiger bone, rushed to the door, and pulled Lin Jianyue to leave.

"Why not stay for lunch? They’re making spicy fried kidney for lunch today in the cafeteria..."

Sui Chunsheng called from behind, but before he finished, Zhang Fan had already left the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance with Lin Jianyue.

...

Bright Road.

Invisible Mountain Cafe.

It was only a two to three-minute walk from the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance.

"Tsk tsk, why are you breathing so heavily?"

In a corner seat, Lin Jianyue looked at Zhang Fan with a playful smile, while the latter glanced around, seemingly observing the surroundings.

"Are you scared?"

Seeing Zhang Fan not responding, Lin Jianyue chuckled lightly, "You didn’t seem like this when you were fighting Li Changgeng. Where did that spirit go?"

"Shh... Can you keep your voice down? Afraid others won’t know, huh?" Zhang Fan gestured for silence, rolling his eyes.

Even Li Changgeng, after such a big loss, did not make a fuss about it, yet here she was, making a big scene.

"What are you doing here? Why are you here?" Zhang Fan asked sternly.

Lin Jianyue was not an ordinary Wuwei Sect member; she was the Rabbit, a member of the Thirteen Zodiacs.

In the Wuwei Sect, she wasn’t considered high-ranking, but definitely mid-to-high level.

For someone with such a sensitive identity to dare venture to the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance in broad daylight,

where’s that rabbit’s audacity coming from!?

"Don’t you know what role you’re playing? Are everyone in Wuwei Sect mad?" Zhang Fan glared.

"Don’t say that. After all, you also have deep ties with our Wuwei Sect. Your mother was a previous generation Human Xiao. You’re considered a proper Second Generation Wu..." Lin Jianyue chuckled.

"Your mom is the..."

Zhang Fan knocked on the table, cutting off his words abruptly, nervously looking around. Fortunately, at this time in the morning, there weren’t many people in the cafe.

"Can you stop talking about these sensitive topics?"

"Why didn’t you report me earlier?" Lin Jianyue chuckled, "I’m a member of the Thirteen Zodiacs, reporting me would be a great merit."

"I..."

Handling affairs at the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance, with a Wuwei Sect Rabbit showing up, could he explain it?

Once it leaked to the public, it would indeed be a situation where mud on his pants isn’t poop, but looks like it.

Zhang Fan suddenly realized that while he had major grievances with the Wuwei Sect and had been entangled until now, the relationship had become increasingly ambiguous and complex.

Earlier, at the Observatory of Profound Mystery, coincidentally, he released the Primordial Spirit of the Si Snake Bai Yujing, and even the Mighty Spirit Demon Suppression Gold Seal, the treasure of the Observatory, fell into his hands.

Even the two demons under Si Snake, Su Shiyu, and Shi Shougong, became his subordinates.

And now, the Rabbit had come knocking as well.

"What a mess."

Zhang Fan internally lamented and couldn’t help but ask, "Tell me, why did you come to Yujing City? Weren’t you with Zhao Jie Xuan?"

"I’m his now."

Lin Jianyue turned her head, looking lightly at the pedestrians outside the cafe as she offhandedly tossed out this line.

"What!?" Zhang Fan froze for a moment, then showed a strange expression, suddenly recalling something Zhao Jie Xuan had said that day.

"A living rabbit is more useful than a dead rabbit."

"You’re his now?"

Zhang Fan muttered, the information contained in this phrase was overwhelming, he did not know what method Zhao Jie Xuan used, but he managed to bring the Rabbit into his fold, which posed a technical question...

Technically speaking, he and Zhao Jie Xuan were one and the same; Zhao Jie Xuan’s Primordial Spirit was part of Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit that split off, known as an ’Evil God.’ So now that Lin Jianyue became Zhao Jie Xuan’s, in some sense, doesn’t she also belong to Zhang Fan!?

Especially if in the future, their Primordial Spirits reunite, then...

"This..." Zhang Fan fell into deep thought and confusion.

"What are you thinking now?"

At this moment, Lin Jianyue saw the peculiar brilliance in Zhang Fan’s eyes, quickly tapping the table.

"Allegiances on paper do not equate to physical ones..."

"Oh... I had the same thought." Zhang Fan laughed awkwardly, "So you’re working with him now?"

"Zhao Jie Xuan was originally a Wuwei Sect member." Lin Jianyue said calmly.

"He holds a high position in the Wuwei Sect, even receiving the favor of the Lord of the Red Palace."

Upon saying this, Lin Jianyue lifted her gaze meaningfully at Zhang Fan.
