I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 794 Catching a Thief in Weizhou Prefecture

"What's going on?"

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded. Was there really such a big difference between becoming an apprentice at Rizhao Temple and Chunyang Palace?

Why?

Lu Zheng didn't understand, but he was greatly impressed, and no matter what, those thousands of strands of Light of Fortune couldn't be fake.

"Moreover, two thousand, almost three thousand strands of Light of Fortune?" Lu Zheng looked at Li Lingyu in disbelief. Did this guy really have such strong potential and fortune? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

And was this fortune gained or lost? Damn, if it was lost, would it lead to an early death?

The harvest was too much at one time, making Lu Zheng uneasy and apprehensive.

"Good, good, good!"

With the ceremony of accepting disciples completed, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh heartily. He looked at Li Lingyu with increasing satisfaction, and there was also an appreciative look in his eyes when he gazed at Lu Zheng.

"It's almost noon, esteemed Immortal Masters, shall we have lunch first?" Li Keming said from the side.

"Alright!" Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

...

During lunch, it was finally decided that Lin Yi would take Li Lingyu away, and he would return once a year while also visiting Rizhao Temple to learn Buddhist Dharma from Zen Master Jin Ye.

After all, entering the sect should have its formality. Since he was a direct lineage of Chunyang, there was no reason for him to be practicing outside all year round.

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, finally understanding the difference between being an apprentice at Rizhao Temple and Chunyang Palace.

If he became an apprentice at Rizhao Temple, Li Lingyu would probably often return home, or even cultivate at home. If anything happened...

Lu Zheng looked around and after surveying the surroundings of the Li Family, he asked, "Wouldn't the two-colored glow of Buddhism and Daoism at the Li Family attract some ill-intentioned people?"

"And what if it did?" Liu Zong shook his head and said, "The Governor of the Weizhou Anomaly Suppression Bureau has a strong Dao Practice. If someone truly powerful appears, she won't escape her sight, and if any common anomalies dare to reveal their skills at the Li Family, they'll have to see if they can withstand the Pure Yang Sword Qi and Great Sun Buddha Light first."

"I see..."

Lu Zheng nodded and didn't speak further.

After all, there was no point in talking about things that hadn't happened yet.

Now that Li Lingyu was gone, it was uncertain whether the Li Family would still suffer from collateral damage, and perhaps it wasn't even because of the glow? After all, once Li Lingyu succeeded in cultivation, he would also head to the sea.

...

Although he didn't witness the magical combat between Zen Master Jin Ye and Master Lin Yi, the trip was undoubtedly worthwhile for Lu Zheng.

Furthermore, Zen Master Jin Ye and Zen Master Xingfeng stayed at the Li Family for a few more days, during which they discussed and exchanged teachings with Lin Yi and Liu Zong, also providing many insights to Lu Zheng and Ao Qi and the others.

Thus, the three women also gained something.

Additionally, Zen Master Xingfeng played a game of chess with Lu Zheng, naturally conceding defeat mid-game, and then humbly asked for advice. After gaining some understanding, he privately gave Lu Zheng extra instructions.

...

On the third day.

Zen Master Jin Ye was still teaching Li Lingyu Buddhist Techniques, while Ao Qi sought advice on chess from Zen Master Xingfeng. Lu Zheng and Shen Ying went out shopping with Yan Hongxia.

As for Liu Zong, he was enjoying the offerings of the Li Family while instilling in Li Lingyu the idea that the Celestial Escape Sect and Chunyang Palace are like family, trying to entice Li Lingyu to join the Celestial Escape Sect.

"Elder Liu is quite interesting; he often teases that kid for no reason," Shen Ying said with a smile.

"But the outcome isn't as he expected." Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

Because after understanding Liu Zong's intentions, Li Lingyu worriedly asked if everyone in the Celestial Escape Sect were beggars and if they could have enough food and sleep well every day.

High masters meeting a mischievous child really turned into showing concern to a blind person, and it even had the opposite effect, leaving Liu Zong stumped for half a day on how to respond.

Yan Hongxia listened with a giggle to their conversation, thinking about the scene where a renowned expert of the Celestial Escape Sect was teased by a child—it was quite amusing.

Exchanging a few words with Lu Zheng, Shen Ying turned to Yan Hongxia and said, "Hongxia, when Elder Lin Yi takes Li Lingyu back to Chunyang Palace, will you and Miss Ao return to Tonglin County with us?"

Yan Hongxia thought for a moment and shook her head, "I'm not returning. Ao Qi and I originally planned to explore the Northern Domain, and now that we've reached Sea Heaven Dao, we'll head north from here."

Shen Ying frowned and said, "The Northern Domain Great Demons aren't quite friendly to us from the Great Jing."

Yan Hongxia smiled, "But isn't there Ao Qi with us? Plus, the Northern Domain Great Demons and the Central Plains Dynasty mostly have conflicts over population, land, and incense offerings; they aren't a monolith, and I'm not a Court member, so if I'm careful, there shouldn't be any issue."

Shen Ying nodded, "I know, but the Northern Domain Great Demons are rather domineering and fierce. You still have to be careful."

Yan Hongxia smiled, "Of course!"

The few of them chatted while strolling. Yan Hongxia went to the East Sea edge to deliver a letter that day, and Lu Zheng's group returned from the East Sea, passing through Wanghai Dao, located south of Sea Heaven Dao, the customs, specialties, and sights on both sides were quite different.

So the three of them wandered with great interest. Yan Hongxia bought some snacks, Shen Ying bought some specialty silk, and Lu Zheng, seeing a uniquely shaped seashell, bought it to use as a decoration at home.

As noon approached, knowing the Li Family had prepared lunch, the three of them leisurely walked back.

Quickly, they rounded a few corners and arrived at a main street in view of the Li Family; at this time, the street was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, noisy and lively, full of citizens, landlords, vendors, children, and scholars.

"It feels like Weizhou Prefecture is even more bustling than Yizhou," Lu Zheng said.

"I heard that overseas in Weizhou, there are two countries and three islands, trading and traveling in exchange, of course, it's lively," Shen Ying said.

Yan Hongxia's eyes lit up, and she smilingly added, "So there are also a lot of petty thieves."

The three of them saw it clearly. Just then, there was a man dressed like a landlord in silk, sitting alone at a street-side tea stand. A roughly eleven or twelve-year-old child wearing ragged clothes was stealthily approaching him from behind, effortlessly untying his purse from his belt, while the man remained unaware.

The child, with a sneaky grin, untied the purse, made a funny face behind the man, and then turned to leave.

But as he turned, he saw a woman in red standing in front of him.

"Eh?"

The child was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly tried to duck away to sneak past the woman.

Yan Hongxia grabbed the child's hand and casually retrieved the purse.

"I..."

"Stealing is wrong," Yan Hongxia said lightly, then handed the purse to the man who had turned around inquiringly.

"Thank you, thank you!" The man hastily thanked as he took it, "I almost had my purse stolen by this little thief! Thank you, young lady!"

"It's fine, just be more careful next time," Yan Hongxia said.

"Yes, yes!" The man continually thanked her, holding his purse. He left three Copper Coins on the table, then quickly hurried away from the tea stand.

Watching the man hurriedly leave, Lu Zheng squinted his eyes thoughtfully.
