An hour ago, at the Huangyu Palace.

Lu Jin'an had recently been staying at Yun Meng Cliff. If it were in the past, even knowing her good disciple was just acting, Pei Wanyu would have secretly called him back several times.

But ever since she returned from the Two Realms Pass, she indeed had no extra thoughts lately.

Seeing Huang Ningshang again after so many years made Pei Wanyu very curious about her whereabouts. Of course, more importantly, she wanted to know what Huang Ningshang quietly said to her good disciple that day.

And, of course, the background of the woman who tried to sneak into Taichu Peak to harm Zhiyu...

Therefore, she had been using the Time Path to try to discover something.

The background of that woman was relatively easy to determine; by tracing back through time into her memories, she learned about her origins, but her family had long been exterminated, cutting off further clues.

Thus, Pei Wanyu was more concerned about the conversation between Huang Ningshang and her good disciple.

Of course, she also boldly hypothesized and carefully verified that Jin'an and Qingyue were purely Senior Sister and Junior Brother.

Pei Wanyu felt she was being a bit ridiculous; how could such a thing be possible?

And just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she sensed an introverted yet incredibly formidable aura emerging in her Demon Realm. She looked up and saw Lu Yunzhu in a red dress, arms crossed, standing calmly directly in front of her.

This scene truly startled Pei Wanyu.

She wouldn't claim her strength was unmatched, but across Yunding, she was undeniably at the forefront.

Yet, Lu Yunzhu appeared before her… Not to mention the stealthy Zheng Dongliu, even the Demon Lord Zhu Tianqi could not appear so casually in front of her.

Divine Concealment.

This was the cultivation Lu Yunzhu possessed that she perceived.

Although puzzled as to why this woman's cultivation increased so quickly, she adopted a calm demeanor and chuckled, "What, here to hold me accountable?"

"You know it well." Lu Yunzhu casually sat on a chair, glanced in the direction of the mountain at her, and glanced at Pei Wanyu, "You're investigating Huang Ningshang, right?"

Pei Wanyu sat opposite her, making tea as she said, "Correct."

"You're suspicious of her relationship with Jin'an, aren't you?" Lu Yunzhu snorted coldly, "Although that woman keeps denying it, she definitely did something... Otherwise, how could there be no trace of the other half of Mu Qingyue's bloodline from the river of time?"

Pei Wanyu remained unchanged in expression, "You're just imagining things without basis; the truth that can be discerned at a glance—does it need such wild speculation?"

Lu Yunzhu sneered, "You're calm for now, but if a real issue arises, you..."

"What issue could there be?" Pei Wanyu smiled, unconcerned, "If you're dead set on chasing this logic, you'd better check your head..."

Before finishing her words, she was interrupted by Lu Yunzhu, "To be frank, Jin'an's Sword Dao talent is exceptionally outstanding; this was determined at his birth.

But later, this talent weakened until it became ordinary, at least among Sword Cultivators."

She leaned forward slightly, "Where did Mu Qingyue's Sword Dao talent come from? I haven't been able to trace her Sword Dao lineage or find much record from the past.

Does Huang Ningshang understand Sword Dao? Or do you?"

Upon these words, Pei Wanyu's expression subtly changed.

Not to mention herself and her older sister Huang Ningshang, even looking across the Demon Clan, how many understand Human Clan's Sword Dao?

Even if there were... it didn't relate to the "Black Phoenix Nirvana Sword Scripture" that Qingyue practiced.

Where did Huang Ningshang get this unheard-of "Sword Scripture"?

Create it herself?

How was it created?

By viewing the future Swordsmanship of a Sword Cultivator through Time Path?

And speaking of it, although Qingyue cultivated the Sword Scripture called "Black Phoenix Nirvana Sword Scripture", possessing half Black Phoenix Bloodline, she hadn't experienced Nirvana. Especially, the Sword Scripture was generally complete but lacked details.

Indeed, it matched the impossibility of the Time Path to see all future cause and effect...

"What do you think of Jin'an's Swordsmanship?" Lu Yunzhu posed another question.

Pei Wanyu stared at her intently, "Are you saying it looks like Jin'an learned from Qingyue, but in fact, Qingyue learned from Jin'an?"

Lu Yunzhu nodded, "What entitles Huang Ningshang to understand Sword Dao?"

"But he and she indeed have no relation..." Pei Wanyu's tone grew a bit impatient, "No need to discuss the intangible; I only know what I see with my eyes is fact."

"Ha..."

Lu Yunzhu chuckled softly, prompting Pei Wanyu to scrutinize her a bit more. This kind of laugh seemed like it was something Jin'an learned from Lu Yunzhu indeed.

"Then let's speak about the present." Lu Yunzhu sneered, "Are you just letting him fool around at Yun Meng Cliff? Getting rid of so many Fox Demons' virginity marks?"

Pei Wanyu's eyes took on a slightly playful gleam, "What, aren't you well aware of him?"

"It seems there's another secret hidden." Lu Yunzhu internally relaxed slightly and then heard Pei Wanyu continue, "Otherwise? He reports everything to me, and without my consent, how could he overstep?"

"Your consent?" Lu Yunzhu's gaze turned cold, "It's just him respecting you, nothing more."

"Oh, you don't believe?" Pei Wanyu huffed softly, "You think he's still that little brother who listens to you? Besides, he respects you; he obeys me."

"Ridiculous!"

"Don't believe it?" Pei Wanyu leisurely sipped a cup of fragrant tea, "Then let's make a bet...

This Palace is truly the one in charge in the house."

And so—

In the massage room.

Lu Yunzhu looked down at Lu Jin'an being held in Pei Wanyu's embrace, "Repeat what you just said!"
