Chapter 710 Nuwa Bestows a Treasure, the Lotus Lantern
"If Master agrees, I won't stop you."
Lingzhu immediately clapped his hands.
"That works, doesn't it?"
"Let's go find our master."
Yang Jian glanced at him.
"You seem to be in a more anxious mood than I am."
Lingzhuzi was very serious.
"I'm just moving the plot forward, don't get stuck on the siblings arguing part."
Yang Chan couldn't help but laugh again.
The tense atmosphere finally eased a bit.
Yang Jian took a deep breath.
"Let's go."
"I will personally go and explain to the Sage Nuwa."
The three left the bamboo forest and headed back towards the main hall.
Yang Chan walked beside Yang Jian, but this time she didn't tug at his sleeve.
She raised her head, having already made up her mind.
No matter how dangerous Momoyama is, she must see her mother with her own eyes.
Lingzhuzi stopped in front of the main hall and called out, "Master, your disciple has brought Brother Yang Jian and Junior Sister back."
Nuwa's calm voice came from inside the hall.
"Come in."
Chapter 702: Nuwa Nods in Approval! The Lotus Lantern Returns to Its Master
After the palace doors opened, Yang Jian went in first.
This time, he felt less anxious than when he first arrived, and more so a sense of heaviness.
It's a good thing that the siblings have reunited.
But what they were about to face was no ordinary family matter.
Taoshan has become a place where the Heavenly Court, the Western Sect, and the Xuanmen Sect are secretly vying for power.
Yang Jian could understand Yang Chan's desire to go.
But understanding doesn't mean being at ease.
Nuwa sat on her cloud bed, and the Eastern King Duke sat beside her.
The two had clearly been discussing the Dao, and the lingering Daoist aura still lingered in the air.
After Lingzhuzi entered the room, he immediately became much more obedient.
He always knew how to behave properly in front of his master.
Yang Jian stepped forward and bowed.
"Disciple Yang Jian has disturbed the Sage's discussion of the Dao."
Nuwa glanced at him.
"You two came back so quickly, it seems you've already finished arguing."
Yang Jian was speechless for a moment.
Yang Chan lowered her head and whispered, "Master..."
Lingzhuzi almost couldn't hold it in.
Master's words were so accurate.
But he dared not laugh.
If he really laughed out loud, his master could send him into seclusion.
Yang Jian didn't beat around the bush.
"Your Majesty, Third Sister already knows about Peach Mountain."
"She wants to come with me."
Nuwa was not surprised.
"And then you refused."
"Yes."
"She refused."
"Yes."
"Lingzhuzi got involved too."
Lingzhuzi immediately looked up.
"Master, I'm not meddling in this."
"I have thought about it seriously."
Nuwa looked at him calmly.
"I haven't even asked you yet, and you're already rushing to explain."
Lingzhu immediately shut up.
"I understand, I won't answer first."
The Eastern King laughed inwardly upon hearing this.
Nuwa's disciple is quite interesting; he's bold and quick-witted.
Yang Jian continued, "Third Sister is a disciple of a sage."
"Whether she can leave Nuwa Palace is not a decision I dare to make on my own."
"Therefore, I have come specifically to ask the Sage for a decision."
Yang Chan also stepped forward and knelt down.
"Master, this disciple wishes to go to Peach Mountain."
"This disciple knows that his cultivation level is not high, and he also knows that this journey is dangerous."
"But my mother is trapped under Peach Mountain, and I cannot pretend not to know."
"I understand in my heart that Master has protected and taught me all these years."
"But this time, I beg you, Master, to allow me to go."
The hall fell silent.
Nuwa did not answer immediately.
Yang Chan knelt there, her heart pounding.
She was afraid her master would refuse.
Even if she really wanted to go, she couldn't disobey her master's orders unless Nuwa gave her permission.
Yang Jian looked at Yang Chan, his own heart also uneasy.
On the one hand, he hoped Nuwa would refuse.
This way, the third sister can stay safely in the Nuwa Palace.
On the other hand, he knew how heartbroken Yang Chan would be if she were truly rejected.
This feeling of being blocked at both ends made him very uncomfortable.
Nuwa finally spoke.
"Yang Chan".
"Disciple is here."
"Have you thought this through?"
Nuwa's tone was not harsh, but it made Yang Chan dare not be perfunctory in the slightest.
"Your trip to Taoshan is not as simple as you seeing your mother."
"Haotian will go, the Heavenly Court will go, and the two Western Saints will also go."
"If you step into this realm, you will no longer be merely a disciple of this palace, but also the daughter of Yao Ji and the sister of Yang Jian."
"Many eyes will be on you."
"Those gazes are not all benevolent."
Yang Chan listened very attentively.
"Disciple understands."
Nuwa continued, "If you only wish to see Yaoji, I can take you there in the future."
"It will be much safer once the storm has passed."
Yang Chan raised her head.
"Master, what if Mother needs us right now?"
"If my second brother fights desperately in Peach Mountain while I hide here, I will regret it later."
"This disciple does not want to regret it anymore."
Nuwa looked at her, her eyes showing more approval.
These are the disciples she has accepted.
She appears weak, but she has her own ideas.
Nuwa then looked at Yang Jian.
"And you?"
"Are you really willing to take her?"
Yang Jian smiled wryly.
"This disciple is unwilling."
Yang Chan immediately looked at him.
Yang Jian continued, "But this disciple couldn't stop them."
"Rather than letting her leave secretly later, it's better to have her stay by my side."
"At least the disciple can see it with his own eyes."
Nuwa nodded.
"Still lucid."
Yang Jian bowed.
"If the Sage allows my third sister to accompany me, I will do everything in my power to protect her."
Lingzhuzi quickly spoke up.
"Master, there is still your disciple."
"This disciple also wishes to go."
Nuwa looked at him.
"Are you going too?"
Lingzhuzi immediately said, "Since my junior sister has already gone, I can't just lie around at home."
"This disciple promises not to cause trouble, not to create chaos, and not to act recklessly."
"Protect your junior sister in critical moments, and retreat immediately if things go wrong."
Nuwa did not blame her when she heard the words "lie flat".
Lingzhuzi has always been like this.
If he were kept locked up in Nuwa Palace indefinitely, he would probably cause trouble.
Although the journey to Peach Mountain is dangerous, with Yang Jian, the Eastern King Duke, and Niu Ben behind them, it might not be a bad thing for Lingzhu to go along.
Moreover, a great calamity is approaching.
The disciple must witness the true storms of the primordial world.
"Can."
As soon as the words "Nuwa" were uttered, Yang Chan looked up abruptly.
"Did Master agree?"
"I agree."
Nuwa said, "You can go to Peach Mountain."
"But there is one condition."
Yang Chan quickly said, "Please speak, Master."
"Once we arrive at Peach Mountain, we will follow Yang Jian's instructions."
"Do not act without authorization."
"If the situation gets out of control, Lingzhu will take you away. You must not hesitate."
Yang Chan remained silent for a moment.
She wanted to say that she wouldn't leave.
But after looking into Nuwa's eyes and then at Yang Jian, she finally nodded.
"This disciple agrees."
Yang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least with that statement, things can still be controlled.
Lingzhuzi immediately patted his chest.
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely keep a close eye on your junior sister."
Nuwa ignored his assurances and instead waved her hand.
A soft, spiritual light flew out from the depths of the main hall.
Yang Chan subconsciously looked up.
The light stopped in front of her and slowly manifested into a lamp.
The lamp is nine inches tall, pure white, and its wick glows with seven colors.
