Chapter 952 The Shocking Change at Drunken Immortal Pavilion

"Oh, you mean that scoundrel [Dan Dingzi]?"

Jing Yu said lazily, "This person impersonated a disciple of the Yuan Dan Sect, thinking he was flawless, but little did he know that I happened to have many interactions with the seniors of the Yuan Dan Hall... and saw the flaw in this person."

“That person has been killed by me, and even his cave has been completely destroyed.”

He let out a disdainful sneer: "These days, anyone dares to impersonate a disciple of a Dao Lord's faction. The elders of the Yuan Dan Hall may not care, but we juniors cannot turn a blind eye."

"That man even promised a magic pill that would surely make one a celestial being... It's truly laughable. However, after Brother Ming learned that this man was an imposter, he seemed rather sullen. He drank dozens of jars of spirit wine with me, without using his true energy to force out the effects of the alcohol. He just drank all the stored strong liquor like that, and it still seemed unsatisfying. We two are now going out to find a restaurant to continue our drinking session."

At this moment, deep within Jing Yu's dantian, on the back of the Xuan Mirror, on the [Mysterious Destiny Plate], was a precious pearl with a faint purple light—

[Say one thing and mean another].

The old man's divine senses flickered, as if he were using some kind of lie-detecting technique to verify the truthfulness of Jing Yu's words.

"Every word is true."

With the old man's cultivation at the Great Vehicle Realm Perfection, he could not detect any flaws in Jing Yu's words, and thus felt reassured.

As for the possibility that Jing Yu is using some kind of high-level secret technique that can conceal her emotions, it is highly unlikely.

No matter how high the level of the secret technique, it still depends on the cultivation level of the user. The difference in cultivation level between the old man and Jing Yu is so great that no secret technique is of any use.

"The young master's spiritual aura is also fine..."

Jing Yu and Ming Yutai, one of whom spoke the truth, and the other was indeed the person in question, left the old man, a Mahayana cultivator, with no other discernment. He then turned to the side and respectfully said:

"Young master, please come back soon."

And so, Jing Yu and Ming Yutai, supporting each other, walked out of the Ming Mansion, left the inner city of Tianmang, and arrived at a restaurant called Zui Xian Lou, which was backed by a Golden Immortal faction and had branches all over the Immortal Realm.

The two entered a private room on the second floor, where they finally dissipated their smell of alcohol. Jing Yu's eyes brightened, and she glanced sideways at Ming Yutai, saying:

"The Drunken Immortal Pavilion has an extremely powerful background, backed by a Golden Immortal... Privacy is absolutely guaranteed, there will be no prying. You can turn back now."

Upon hearing this, Mingyutai chuckled, spun around on the spot, and instantly transformed back into Ling Qishuang's appearance.

Then, Ling Qishuang made a feint and took the real Mingyu Platform out of the cave and threw it on the ground.

Ming Yutai was still fast asleep, clearly indicating that the aphrodisiac drug Ling Qishuang had concocted was incredibly potent.

"What should we do next? Try to contact the Tianmang Sect and ask them to release Guan Lingxiao?" Ling Qishuang asked.

Jing Yu rolled her eyes and slowly said, "This can't be done like this. After all, the Tianmang Sect is a behemoth that governs the entire Tianmang Starfield. How could it be threatened by two lower-level cultivators?"

Ling Qishuang said dejectedly, "Then what do you suggest we do? We went to great lengths to kidnap Young Master Ming, are we supposed to wait for him to wake up and then try to reason with him?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Yu smiled slightly: "Actually, it's a good idea."

"But not while he's awake."

Ling Qishuang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"The marriage alliance between the Tianmang Sect and the Ling family is the will of two True Immortals. It is futile for you to resist it alone... We need to test Mingyutai's attitude."

"You just said that the marriage alliance was the will of the true immortals! What use is Mingyu Terrace now!" Ling Qishuang said in a fit of rage.

“The current Mingyutai may have little influence, but that doesn’t mean the future Mingyutai will have no voice,” Jing Yu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't need to worry about that for now... In short, we need to bring Mingyutai into the camp that is trying to sabotage the marriage."

"How to do it?"

“A person’s subconscious can determine many things… I can make him make different choices by manipulating his subconscious.”

"How to change a person's subconscious? Dreams are a good starting point."

Ling Qishuang clicked her tongue and said, "Why does this statement sound somewhat like..."

"Inner demons?" Jing Yu shrugged. "Perhaps... but it's more like a kind of [guidance], which is harmless to his Dao heart."

"I need to get a good night's sleep. You protect me."

After saying that, Jing Yu tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep, leaving Ling Qishuang alone in a daze.

"What kind of situation is this... to sleep at a time like this?"

Ling Qishuang felt that Jing Yu's thinking was too unconventional and her actions were extremely absurd, yet she always managed to hit the nail on the head. Whether it was infiltrating the Ming Mansion or quietly bringing Ming Yutai out, everything went smoothly.

This also made Ling Qishuang curious about the true identity of the person in front of her—

"Could this person really be Guan Lingxiao's master? One is a sword genius, the other a body-refining prodigy, and their methods are simply extraordinary..."

Ling Qishuang's mind wandered for a moment, and she couldn't help but feel drowsy. Her tense mind gradually relaxed.

She glanced at the sleeping Jing Yu, then at the unconscious Ming Yutai, and became somewhat lost in thought:

"What a handsome face."

Although the Ling family and the Tianmang Sect were supposed to have a marriage alliance, the engagement was progressing very slowly because Ling Qishuang herself was extremely resistant and did many absurd things. To be honest, she had hardly ever seen Ming Yutai.

Looking closely at her nominal "fiancé," she realized that the young master was indeed exceptionally handsome, with a remarkable temperament that would make anyone's heart flutter.

"Sigh... Everyone says that this young master of the Ming family is gentle, knowledgeable and reasonable, and quite upright. His aptitude is not inferior to mine... If it weren't for the Tianmang Sect's determination to make me bear children and damage my Dao foundation... simply becoming Dao partners with this person wouldn't be so hard to accept."

"What a pity, what a pity... Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?" Ling Qishuang sighed.

Just as she was lost in thought, the door to the private room on the second floor of Zuixianlou suddenly exploded, and amidst the flying wood chips, several Mahayana Realm cultivators flashed in like ghosts.

Ling Qishuang's pupils shrank suddenly—that black robe embroidered with celestial star patterns belonged to the Ming family's law enforcement elder!

"As expected, it was hidden here." The white-browed old man at the head sneered, his withered hand already forming a sealing incantation.

Ling Qishuang hurriedly patted the jade pendant at her waist, preparing to use this life-saving item to escape, only to find that the space around her had already been completely sealed off by layers upon layers of law power.

What terrified her even more was the sound of unhurried footsteps coming from outside the door. The moment a shoe stepped across the threshold, the entire Drunken Immortal Pavilion trembled slightly.

Mingxiao, the current leader of the Tianmang Sect, stood with his hands behind his back, his celestial aura as deep and boundless as the sea.

His gaze swept over the unconscious Ming Yutai, lingered for a moment on Ling Qishuang's pale face, and finally landed on the sleeping Jing Yu.

"A girl from the Ling family."

Mingxiao suddenly spoke, his Daoist voice booming, causing Ling Qishuang to bleed from her seven orifices: "I am very curious, who gave you the audacity to harm my Ming family's prodigy?"
