I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 775: Success Does Not Require Change

"Saintess, please rise quickly!" Du Yueyao hurried forward to support Saintess Zhilan.

Saintess Zhilan remained bowing for three breaths before standing up. "It is a blessing for our sect that Miss Du has been favored by the Ancestor. We should get closer in the future. You can call me 'Senior Sister'. Among Saintesses, unless in the case of master and disciple, there is no hierarchy."

Du Yueyao smiled with pursed lips, nodded, and gently replied with a smile, "Senior Sister!"

"Hey!"

Saintess Zhilan's eyes shone bright like stars. Though eager within, she knew it wasn't the right time to act hastily. She turned to Lu Zheng and the others and offered a modest smile. "I apologize for my momentary lapse; I hope I haven't caused you any inconvenience."

Lu Zheng chuckled, saying, "It's human nature. Now that it's noon, let's have a meal first."

Saintess Zhilan bowed slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

...

Aunt Liu saw there were guests and had already prepared more food, ready for the meal anytime.

After the meal, the rather anxious Saintess Zhilan, along with Fan Boyu, was led by Du Yueyao back to her home right across the street.

Not to mention the shock and joy on Saintess Zhilan's side upon seeing the improved "Su Nu's Prayer Method", Lu Zheng and the others were casually chatting.

Liu Qingyan worriedly said, "Saintess Zhilan wouldn't take Yueyao back to the Southern Border, would she?"

Shen Ying smirked slightly, "Would she dare?"

Lu Zheng shook his head with a smile, "If she truly cares for the Primordial Saint Sect, after chatting with Yueyao more, she wouldn't have such thoughts."

You see, Lu Zheng had practiced techniques from many sects and had often guided Du Yueyao in her cultivation, while Liu Qingyan's elixirs made with spirit medicines never lacked a share for the like-sister-like-disciple Du Yueyao.

This led to Du Yueyao solidifying her foundations in just a year, fully reinforcing the cultivation she ostensibly got from Saintess Xueyi, while also unleashing her potential, speeding up her self-cultivation and once again advancing rapidly in cultivation power left by Saintess Xueyi.

Staying in Tonglin County allows Du Yueyao to see her parents regularly, combining emotions, safety, and cultivation perfectly; there's no reason to go to the crisis-ridden, scheming environment of the Southern Border to torture herself.

Arguably, the only downside is her lack of belonging to the Primordial Saint Sect.

But this can be remedied later, bonding through interest and slowly nurturing feelings.

If Saintess Zhilan intends to take Du Yueyao away and increase the sense of belonging through emotions without paying the interests...

Lu Zheng snorted, "Then she needs to find out if she's capable of dealing with my methods."

Shen Ying then asked, "How is Saintess Zhilan's Dao Practice?"

Lu Zheng pondered the situation when he had just made contact with her and admitted, "Her Dao Practice is strong, a lot stronger than mine. Winning in a real fight might not be easy."

"However..." Lu Zheng smiled, "Aren't I still with you all?"

Yue Honghai, hearing this, immediately thumped his chest to show loyalty, "Old Yue will back you up!"

"Alright, alright! We're all on the same side. After all, she's also Yueyao's fellow disciple, and it's yet to happen. Why talk about dealing with her?" Liu Qingyan said helplessly.

Shen Ying gave a flirtatious glance and couldn't help but tickle Liu Qingyan, "Isn't it you, Qingyan, worried about Yueyao being taken away? We're just relieving you, but now you're turning on us?"

Liu Qingyan hurried to beg for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I dare not, I dare not!"

While the two girls were playfully teasing each other, Yue Honghai discreetly slipped out, showing his sense.

After going through the Shuangjiao Island incident, he had developed keen awareness.

After the girls laughed and played for a bit, Lu Zheng personally went to cook, preparing dinner to welcome Fan Boyu and Saintess Zhilan.

After all, Fan Boyu had helped a lot during his time here; the relationship was good.

Saintess Zhilan personally visited, bringing elixirs and prepared guidance for Du Yueyao; her intentions were kind.

Naturally, Lu Zheng couldn't lack etiquette.

"I'm preparing dinner, Qingyan, invite Uncle, Aunt, and Qing Quan along."

"Okay." Liu Qingyan nodded in agreement.

...

After dinner, Shen Ying didn't return to Peach Blossom Plain but instead followed Liu Qingyan and Lu Zheng back to the master bedroom.

The three didn't sleep but squeezed onto the bed together, crowding their heads together to look at the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror in Lu Zheng's hand.

Despite Zhilan Saintess's assurance, Lu Zheng remained vigilant.

As Lu Zheng twisted his hand seal, the mirror of the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror showed an aerial view of Tonglin County.

As night fell, all was silent, making it an optimal time for Lu Zheng to investigate.

Lu Zheng controlled the lens, first circling around the major inns in Tonglin County, and sure enough, found nothing.

He then started sweeping the area within dozens of miles surrounding Tonglin County.

As a top master, if someone from the Southern Border were not progressing into Tonglin County, in the wild, they would definitely not bother to hide their demeanor.

So...

Lu Zheng made a few rounds but found no obvious target.

"Could the New Sect really not have discovered Saintess Zhilan and Fan Boyu?" Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, somewhat suspiciously.

"After all, she's the Saintess of the Original Sect of the Primordial Saint Sect, with profound Dao Practice. It would be absurd if she gets tracked even for a quiet trip to the Central Plains!" Liu Qingyan said, "If so, the Original Sect would have long been swallowed by the New Sect."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Alright, maybe I'm overthinking it. That would be the best."

Saying this, Lu Zheng put away the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror and said seriously to Shen Ying, "I recall during the daytime, Qingyan turned on us?"

Liu Qingyan's face changed, and she attempted to fly away but was embraced by Shen Ying, who then lifted the quilt with a teasing smile, pulling all three of them under it.

...

The following morning.

After Lu Zheng and the two women finished breakfast and stepped out, they saw Saintess Zhilan looking confused, watching Du Yueyao bounce happily to the Lu Family's doorstep, joining Liu Qingyan to visit Renxin Hall.

"Junior Sister Yueyao actually visits daily to diagnose and treat mortal folk?" Saintess Zhilan exclaimed incredulously.

Fan Boyu nodded, "Yes!"

"It's a waste of time!" Saintess Zhilan couldn't help but reprimand, "Now that Junior Sister's cultivation technique has entered the introductory phase, and the future is bright, it's precisely the time for rapid advancement. Yet she spends significant time every day treating mortal illnesses?"

Fan Boyu managed to say, "Yueyao has a kind heart; diagnosing daily can accumulate merit."

"What's the use of that bit of merit?" Saintess Zhilan frowned, "Great love knows no bounds. Guarding an area for harmony and favorable weather is more precious than treating colds and heat. Furthermore, even if saving lives, it should be those close to death. Spending herself on miscellaneous matters daily—is she still cultivating?"

"But Yueyao's cultivation advances faster than other disciples of your Primordial Saint Sect." Lu Zheng stepped out from the doorway.

Saintess Zhilan said, "That's because Junior Sister inherited Saintess Xueyi's entire cultivation."

"Yueyao's mental state is superior to other disciples of your Primordial Saint Sect." Lu Zheng replied.

This point Saintess Zhilan didn't oppose, "I know diagnosis is also cultivation of the heart, but does it take too much time?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and had no intention of forcibly changing Saintess Zhilan's views, only saying flatly, "Everyone has their own fate. Yueyao obtained Su Nv's technique, advancing rapidly in cultivation while steadily growing in mental state. Why do you want her to change her daily routine?"

In modern terms, it means that successful people don't need to change but continue adhering to the path paved by successful experiences.

"This..."

Saintess Zhilan had no response.
