I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 798 Midway Ambush

Lu Zheng briefly explained what he, Shen Ying, and Yan Hongxia discovered while shopping.

"Impressive! I didn't notice anything off!" Yan Hongxia said in surprise.

Ao Qi glanced at Yan Hongxia's chest, shook her head, and stayed silent.

Unexpectedly, Yan Hongxia was very sensitive to this glance, turning to Ao Qi, "What kind of look is that?"

"Nothing!" Ao Qi quickly shook her head, "I think you're just too focused on that child, otherwise you would've noticed something was wrong."

Yan Hongxia nodded, "Right, I think so too!"

Everyone laughed at this.

Although there was nearly an unexpected incident, fortunately, the final outcome was good; they defeated a Great Demon, and everyone was in good spirits, so they invited Luo Yixian to stay for dinner.

...

During the meal, Lu Zheng learned that Luo Yixian's family was in Jizhou. She was taken to White Cloud Temple as a child, where she inherited their cultivation technique, and it has been several decades since.

The Luo family, being an official family, led Luo Yixian to join the Anomaly Suppression Bureau, becoming the Governor of Sea Heaven Dao Weizhou Anomaly Suppression Bureau.

After they became comfortable with each other, Lu Zheng jokingly said, "Master Luo, didn't you notice Li Lingyu's extraordinary qualities and think about bringing him into our White Cloud Temple?"

Of course, this was a joke, and everyone laughed.

"Of course, I noticed!" Luo Yixian laughed too, "But do you think I'd dare compete with Master Lin Yi and Zen Master Jin Ye?"

Luo Yixian has nearly a millennium of Dao practice, standing out within the Ming Generation of White Cloud Temple, but how can she compare to Master Lin Yi and Zen Master Jin Ye?

So not only does she dare not compete, but she also has to guard when those two are not around.

Li Keming, sitting at the table, understood Luo Yixian's implication, quickly standing to express gratitude, "Thank you, Lord Luo, for your care. We were completely unaware at home."

"No need to thank me, have a seat." Luo Yixian smiled, gesturing for Li Keming to sit down, "Protecting the people of Weizhou is my duty, especially with the Pure Yang Sword Qi and Great Sun Buddha Light left by the two seniors; nobody dares to cause trouble at leisure."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, asking, "Someone really tried?"

Luo Yixian nodded and smiled, "Of course, in Great Jing, no one would dare disrespect the two, but two people from overseas tried, and I turned them back."

"Overseas visitors, such boldness, I didn't consider that." Lin Yi nodded in understanding, raising his cup to toast Luo Yixian.

"Amitabha Buddha!" Zen Master Jin Ye also chanted, raised his teacup, using tea instead of wine, and toasted Luo Yixian.

Luo Yixian quickly responded, grateful for Zen Master Jin Ye and Master Lin Yi's thanks.

"Was it Biqing Temple and Bodhi Zen Temple?" Liu Zong asked; these two are the largest East Sea sects of the Buddhist Path.

"No, two small sects," Luo Yixian shook her head, "One practices martial arts, and the other controls sea beasts."

Liu Zong nodded; since it wasn't those two, there was no need to worry, as it would imply disrespect to Rizhao Temple and Chunyang Palace otherwise.

...

It was a joyous dinner for both guests and hosts.

Luo Yixian took her leave, and everyone went to rest.

In the following days, nothing unexpected occurred. Besides studying Buddhist teachings with Zen Master Jin Ye, Lu Zheng, acting as a righteous brother, taught Li Lingyu to play with a Rubik's cube, made a set of transforming wooden animal toys, and besides the usual chocolate candies, made him a cream cake.

As expected with kids, Li Lingyu also couldn't resist the same treats that captivated Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan, making Lu Zheng his sworn brother from then on!

The only regret was not being able to gain more from him, but Lu Zheng wasn't in a hurry—slow and steady wins the race.

...

A few more days passed, and once Zen Master Jin Ye had completed transmitting his teachings to Li Lingyu, it was time for Lin Yi to take Li Lingyu away.

After all, still a child, Li Lingyu cried bitterly in his parents' embrace before reluctantly joining Lin Yi.

"Brother Lu! Sister Shen! Remember to come play with me!" Li Lingyu said reluctantly to Lu Zheng and Shen Ying.

"Sure!" Lu Zheng agreed readily, anyway, what's one more promise?

Then Zen Master Jin Ye and Zen Master Xingfeng left first, and Lin Yi and Liu Zong took Li Lingyu and departed with the wind, Ao Qi and Yan Hongxia heading north along the coast, leaving Lu Zheng and Shen Ying to leave through the west gate, returning to Lingbei Dao.

...

The sky was clear and blue, clouds stretching endlessly.

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying stood on a cloud, allowing a gentle breeze to pass through their protective cloud aura, the spring wind brushing against them, making them feel quite comfortable.

Shen Ying couldn't help but smile.

"What are you smiling about?" Lu Zheng asked.

"I'm laughing about how Lu Lang said it was boring a few days ago, and lately, you've encountered the Saintess of Primordial Saint Sect and the Profound Heart Old Demon. Do you still find it boring, Lu Lang?" Shen Ying laughed.

Lu Zheng: 눈_눈|||

"Daring to mock your husband is intolerable; I must seek a secluded place to enact justice and discipline you properly!" Lu Zheng wrapped his right arm around Shen Ying's slender waist, lifting her up slightly.

Shen Ying giggled, pressing her body closely against his, "How does husband intend to discipline me?"

Could this be overlooked?

But at that moment, Lu Zheng's expression suddenly sharpened.

"Who's there?"

Lu Zheng shouted fiercely, pulling Shen Ying into the air; a black flower suddenly bloomed where they stood, its petals closing to engulf them.

Someone approached in invisibility, intending to ambush them!

They soared into the sky, but a shadow appeared above them, countless strands of Yin Qi like swords speeding down toward them.

Lu Zheng waved the White Cloud Banner, Shen Ying brandished the Starfire Fan, and they charged ahead, soon reaching the flower's exit. Innate Cloud Qi shielded them from the flower temporarily, while Phoenix Divine Fire burned away all the Yin Qi swords.

"Hmm?"

The assailant hadn't expected Lu Zheng to use the Cloud Technique, nor Shen Ying to possess such strength and Dharma artifacts, causing their premeditated attack to fail to swallow them.

But no matter, they won't escape!

The assailant chuckled, extending both hands, two Netherworld Ghost Claws forming and reaching down to grab them.

The Netherworld Ghost Claws glimmered dark green, their gray essence seeming tangible, ignoring layers of Cloud Qi and Starfire as they aimed to press them into the flower.

"Hold my hand!"

Lu Zheng's eyes focused, grabbing Shen Ying's hand, and with a wave, tendrils of magical power flowed through the flower and Yin Qi, stirring the surrounding world, leading a fine rain to start falling.

In the next moment, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying vanished from beneath the Netherworld Ghost Claw.

"What?"

This time, the assailant was truly shocked, sensing something and quickly turning to see Lu Zheng and Shen Ying appear nearly a hundred yards behind.

And Lu Zheng and Shen Ying saw their attacker, or rather, a ghost.

Tall, wearing a green robe, complexioned in a mix of blue and white, with jet-black eyes and lips.

Lu Zheng looked coldly at the ghost, "Who are you?"

The ghost likewise glared coldly at Lu Zheng, "Hand over the Profound Yin Divine Mirror, and I'll spare your lives!"
