Little Blade Fairy was naturally the title of An Linyuan.

In response, An Linyuan simply said, "Does the general still not trust the gentleman? This White Lotus Saintess was also found by the gentleman." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Those outside the door could never see what was being discussed inside.

Jing Shifei finally stood up, but she still hesitated.

An Chenyu said, "Sister Jing could go look for Zhao Hua again. Zhao Hua is now in Xuanwu Taoist Temple, self-titled True Man Donghua. He night and day cultivates the Cultivation Technique left by Song, yet the affairs of the world are still presented to him... but he never says anything, silent as a chess player, with a mind full of ravines. Perhaps, he sees more clearly than I do."

Jing Shifei nodded, then said, "I will leave now."

After speaking, she looked at herself and said, "This woman is the White Lotus Saintess. Possessing her also brought me many benefits. I will leave her with something to remember and let her cooperate with my sister in the future... The rest will be discussed between my sister and her."

"Thank you, Sister Jing," An Chenyu bowed.

The next moment, the White Lotus Demoness before them suddenly closed her eyes, her eyelashes twitching, and when she opened them again, her expression was bewildered. Then as if struck by an idea, her eyes became spirited and enchanting. Fixing her gaze on An Chenyu, she smiled and said, "I didn’t expect the famous Mr. Yu to be such a beauty... The Divine Mother brought me here, saying that the White Lotus should bloom on the soil of the Righteous Army."

Somewhere in Xuanwu Taoist Temple...

Bronze birds soared, grand stele stood tall.

In the main hall, a turtle and a snake guarded the golden statue of the Emperor.

Behind it, a Long-bearded Taoist Man dressed in a purple qi Taoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, sat cross-legged, gazing up at the blue sky, seemingly comprehending something.

He had experienced many events in his life, and the strangeness and majesty of his circumstances and the vast changes in his identity far exceeded ordinary people’s thoughts and imaginations.

At that moment, a young Taoist boy walked in from outside, respectfully saying, "True Man, there’s a flood in Feng State, and it’s time for relief again. In past years, the relief that reached the hands of the people was pitifully small, and even the grain was mixed with sand and stones. With such corruption, it’s amazing that they still come to the temple every year to offer incense money."

The Long-bearded Taoist Man said, "Distribute all the incense money to Feng State. You and Zhong Jing go take a trip there, save as many as you can... If you find any promising youngsters, bring them back to the temple."

The young Taoist boy asked, "True Man, how much incense money should I take?"

The Long-bearded Taoist Man said, "Take it all, and if that’s not enough, we’ll ask for more later this year."

"Yes!" The young Taoist boy showed joy and hurriedly left.

He knew how much incense money there was in the temple, and taking it all to Feng State could save at least tens of thousands of people.

After the Taoist boy left, the courtyard became quiet again. The Long-bearded Taoist Man danced his horsetail whisk, slowly shaking his head, and murmured, "The chaos of the world lies in governance, in society, and in the natural world...

Changing an emperor is just another cycle, peace for a decade or decades, yet the same mistakes are repeated."

"Why do the common folk deserve this? What can be done?"

Just then, he suddenly saw a Taoist nun appear in the courtyard.

This Taoist nun, known as Yuyi, was from his temple.

At this moment, the depth of Yuyi’s eyes was extraordinary.

The Long-bearded Taoist Man, unstartled and without inquiry, immediately rose to pay respects, saying, "I wonder which senior has graced us with their presence?"

The one possessing Yuyi was Jing Shifei.

Jing Shifei said, "Zhao Hua, I am your brother’s Taoist companion."

The Long-bearded Taoist Man was stunned, the calmness in his face stirred by any news of his brother.

After a conversation, when Jing Shifei revealed her purpose, the former Zhao Hua, now True Man Donghua, fell silent.

True Man Donghua closed his eyes lost in thoughts for a long while, then said, "If it had been earlier, I might have borrowed heads to achieve my goal, to complete my efforts in one stroke, fiercely and aggressively."

"What do you mean by borrowing heads?" Jing Shifei asked curiously.

True Man Donghua said, "As Sister-in-law An said, we must wait for the elders of the Seven Great Powers to confound themselves.

But with a being like the senior present, even though there may be decades or a hundred years of lifespan left, it is still aged. I cannot wait, and I would deliberately inflict heavy damage on a few elders, using their heads to force the palace, compelling all the elders to expedite amalgamation."

"However, now I feel this method has endless troubles...

As for Shi Feng... besides plotting with a tiger for its skin, playing with fire is easy to burn oneself."

Jing Shifei asked, "So what now?"

True Man Donghua said, "Sister-in-law An’s strategy is to make a move under chaos, while my strategy is... ’Luring the Enemy into a Trap.’"

Jing Shifei asked curiously, "What is ’Luring the Enemy into a Trap’?"

True Man Donghua said, "My brother has the vision to perceive people, Sister Jing could invite someone to our courtyard to talk, and let my brother secretly observe from the window. Good or evil, loyalty or treachery, he can discern them."

"Afterwards, Sister Jing could secretly scheme with the loyal ones, performing a play of seizing the opportunity in chaos for Shi Feng to see.

Shi Feng, finding the opportunity, will surely act, but the difference here is... the chaos he stirs up is the chaos performed for him by Senior Jing."

"The more he does, the more traces he leaves behind, waiting for the right moment, we could draw him out, using the power of the high ranks of the Seven Great Powers, we would have enough to slay him or even capture him alive."

"With this event, we could eliminate Shi Feng and the destabilizing factors within the powers, and also let the Seven Great Powers recognize that external enemies are coveting them, and that uniting is the only way out."

"This... can be done."

Jing Shifei was astonished for a long time; she began to understand the meaning behind Song Cheng’s words, "The strong are not strong in their schemes..."

Let alone Zhao Hua, even the idea proposed by An Chenyu was something she had not thought of.

She had only some vague ideas and was utterly unable to consider everything thoroughly.

This exalted True Spirit Realm powerhouse began to truly consider the ordinary people for the first time.

Humans, weak as ants, seemed... not completely useless.

...

After visiting An Chenyu and Zhao Hua, Jing Shifei was crystal clear about what she needed to do.

She started inviting people to Mysterious Clear Palace to discuss the "Mourning Spirit" affair and also actively shared parts of the content from the "Water Spirit Illuminating Heaven Scripture."
