Chapter 935 - 935 326 The Little Hobby of Heavenly Emperor Ping'an

935: Chapter 326: The Little Hobby of Heavenly Emperor Ping’an 935: Chapter 326: The Little Hobby of Heavenly Emperor Ping’an Your Highness?

Facing Mo Linyuan’s somewhat excited greeting, this stern-faced old Daoist showed little reaction.

He paced forward leaning on his crutch, his gloomy eyes staring at Mo Linyuan, a cold smile appeared on his lips as he said in a hoarse voice:

“Hasn’t Elder Mo already defected to the New Heavenly Emperor?

To still address me as ‘Your Highness’ who belongs to remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Court, I’m afraid that’s somewhat inappropriate.”

Mo Linyuan hastened to meet him, continuously bowing and paying his respects.

“Your Highness, it’s good that you’re safe, good that you’re safe!

Countless years without knowledge of your whereabouts, this old servant has truly been worried!”

“Oh?” The old Daoist spoke slowly, “Now I call myself Daoist Luya, Elder Mo should not call me ‘Your Highness’ anymore, just address me by my name.”

Mo Linyuan hurriedly said: “Rules must not be abandoned, Heavenly edicts must not be violated!

If you are my lord for one day, then for generations to come you will remain my lord.

Your Highness, please take a seat!”

“No need.”

Daoist Luya’s gaze became less chilly and added a bit of self-mockery.

His eyes swept across the surroundings lightly speaking:

“Your ailment seems to be getting worse.

This hall actually gives this poor Daoist a sense of dread.

Let’s talk outside instead.”

“Your Highness, look at what you’re saying, this isn’t an ailment of mine, it’s recognition and gratitude towards the Heavenly Dao.

“Then let’s go to the side hall.”

Mo Linyuan forced a smile:

“It’s all for planning on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, I didn’t want to commit such evil acts, but there really is no other way.

“There are some things in this world that must be done by sentient beings, the only difference being whether they’re done by benevolent spirits or malevolent ones.”

The two made their way to the side hall.

Daoist Luya raised his hand to touch his face, removed a thin mask revealing a middle-aged visage.

He sat on a meditation cushion, his gaze took on a reminiscent look and he said unhurriedly:

“It was also in this great hall that Elder Mo saved me from the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, healed me right here, such a favor Luya can never forget.”

“Your Highness, you’re being too kind.”

Mo Linyuan said cheerfully:

“Fortunately, at that time I didn’t have the reputation I have now, my relationship with the Heavenly Dao wasn’t too profound, avoiding the curse that saving someone would harm the savior.

“At that time, I thought you couldn’t hold on, but Your Highness, you survived with your own great willpower…

let’s not mention this anymore, better left unsaid.”

Daoist Luya threw the mask in his hand onto the low table in front of him, and then asked: “Have you paid your respects to the New Heavenly Emperor?”

“Well, that…”

Mo Linyuan’s face showed embarrassment, speaking softly:

“A lucky coincidence, a causal encounter, I have met the New Heavenly Emperor a few times.

“But this matter is driven by the Heavenly Dao…”

“Heh,” Daoist Luya let out a cold laugh and asked: “What does Elder Mo think of this New Heavenly Emperor?

You can speak the truth.”

Mo Linyuan pondered for a moment: “It’s not easy to assess, the New Heavenly Emperor is connected by blood with the Human Race, he shows clear exclusion towards the Hundred Clans, but his abilities are indeed not weak.

In just a short period of his emergence, he has caused heavy losses to the Western Sect, making one too afraid to approach him, he must have some capabilities.”

Daoist Luya sneered: “Then when will Elder Mo take office at the New Heavenly Court?”

“How can you say that!”

Mo Linyuan’s old face flushed with a hint of red, and he forced a smile:

“Your Highness, you must insist on squeezing this old servant today?

This old servant has but this small wish, to serve the Heavenly Dao, to add longevity to the Heaven and Earth.

“Look, in ancient times, I wouldn’t say I’ve toiled and moiled, but I also did my utmost to serve His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor without a single misdeed against the Golden Crow Clan…”

“Enough.”

Daoist Luya’s eyes narrowed slightly, continuing to say: “Today, I came not to squeeze Elder Mo, but to ask Elder Mo a question.”

Mo Linyuan quickly said: “You ask, just ask.”

Daoist Luya fell silent for a while, as if contemplating how to phrase the question, then finally slowly uttered:

“How can I, perceive the Ancient Heavenly Dao?”

Mo Linyuan was visibly startled, his eyes showed a hint of bewilderment, murmuring: “The Ancient Heavenly Dao?

Isn’t the Heavenly Dao just as it is?”

Daoist Luya frowned and said: “Is Elder Mo still playing dumb with me?”

“Not at all, not at all.”

Mo Linyuan raised his hand to wipe his face, the bewilderment in his eyes did not fade, but instead he said:

“Your Highness, by asking this, you’ve made this old servant somewhat confused, how can there be a separate notion of the Ancient Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao has been continuous since ancient times, hasn’t it already become the present Heavenly Dao?”

Daoist Luya scrutinized Mo Linyuan’s expression closely.

Soon, Daoist Luya shook his head and spoke unhurriedly: “Perhaps the rumors I heard were mistaken, Elder Mo need not bother, I will go and verify this matter myself.”

Mo Linyuan asked: “Your Highness, what are you looking to verify?

The New Heavenly Emperor is currently stationed in the Misty Realm in the northwest direction, why don’t you go there and inquire?

This old servant is willing to introduce you to the New Heavenly Emperor!”

Daoist Luya frowned and looked at Mo Linyuan, speaking slowly:

“Do you think, the New Heavenly Emperor can accommodate me, the only Golden Crow left in this world?”

“Your Highness, you are unaware.”

Mo Linyuan spoke excitably:

“The new Heavenly Emperor Li Ping’an has an extraordinary magnanimity, and is desperate for talents!

He has even employed the ancient Dragon Clan to assist the Heavenly Dao, how could he not accommodate you?”

“Heh, I’ve completely understood Elder Mo’s meaning,” said Daoist Luya.

Daoist Luya reached for the mask, grasped his crutch, stood up, and walked out of the hall.

His form transformed into black smoke and gradually dissipated.

“Elder Mo, go and serve the New Heavenly Emperor yourself!

“The Six Great Masters have become saints, this New Heavenly Court will be nothing but a puppet of the Six Saints in the future!

“I, in the future, might stand opposite of Elder Mo, so I ask you to show mercy when the time comes.

“I will choose a day to visit that Misty Realm, to weigh whether Li Ping’an is qualified to be the Heavenly Emperor!”

“Your…”

The black smoke had already vanished.

Mo Linyuan sat in the corner of the side hall, leaning out to look outside several times, making sure Daoist Luya had truly left, then he let out a light sigh of relief and started to calculate to himself.
