Chapter 122: Chapter 121 That’s right, all these are my schemes

Nezha hurried back at full speed, and Nuwa wasn’t idle either. Initially intending to go straight home, on a second thought, since she had already come this far, she couldn’t return empty-handed. She turned and headed to the Zixiao Palace.

From the outside, the Zixiao Palace looked like an ordinary Dao Palace, not grand at all. Nuwa went up and knocked on the door, which automatically opened a crack.

Nuwa immediately pushed open a small gap and peeked inside. There was no one there.

There was only a simple cloud bed and six cushions.

Nuwa cautiously entered the Zixiao Palace and closed the door.

Then she walked to the spot where she sat the fourth time and respectfully said, "Teacher, I am here."

On top of the cloud bed, Dao Qi began to circulate, and a vague old Daoist figure appeared. Listening to Nuwa, it transitioned from a state of vagueness and slowly became more emotional, taking a while to respond, "You, this girl, come to see this old man on your own?"

Nuwa chuckled and rubbed her hands, "Teacher, my little disciple, your youngest grand-disciple, is slow in cultivation and lacking in foundation, but he is very obedient and filial. I want to take my cushion back for him to use.

What do you think, teacher?"

The old Daoist seemed to process slowly like a computer and, after a moment, said, "Sure."

Nuwa was overjoyed, put away her cushion, paid her respects, and left.

Upon leaving the Zixiao Palace and turning back, the Zixiao Palace had already disappeared. Even with Nuwa’s seemingly endless Divine Thought, she couldn’t find any trace of the Zixiao Palace.

Having interacted with the Zixiao Palace again, Nuwa came to a conclusion: the gap between her and Hong Jun was even greater than the gap between Nezha and her!

Nuwa didn’t feel discouraged at all. Since she lacked nothing, she was quite content with her days of idleness.

With the cushion, she arrived at Nuwa Palace ahead of schedule.

Then, she started to pose with Xiaoqing, as Nezha was almost reaching Taisu Heaven.

On Nezha’s side, after who knows how many years, he finally returned to Taisu Heaven and immediately went to pay respects to his teacher.

He saw Nuwa sitting high on the cloud bed, her eyes closed, appearing to be in a state of enlightenment.

Below, Sister Xiaoqing was also meditating in a blue dress.

Nezha was quite moved, thinking that even though his teacher had become a Saint, she was still so diligent. He resolved to be even more disciplined in the future.

He did not disturb the two, but also sat down and began practicing the True Scripture of Lishan Mother.

Lost in thought, he became immersed in meditation.

After a while, Nuwa quietly opened one eye, looked at Nezha, and then gave Qingluan a look.

Qingluan, full of helplessness, quietly went forward and waved her hand in front of Nezha’s face. Seeing no response, she turned back and nodded.

Nuwa scratched her head, thinking that she was just putting on a show, wondering why he actually went into deep meditation?

If she had to hold the pose until Nezha woke up, it would be exhausting.

With a gesture in the air, Nezha gradually awakened.

Seeing Nuwa, he immediately realized and paid his respects.

Nuwa nodded slightly, and Nezha narrated his journey. Just when he mentioned the Golden Crow Essence, Nuwa’s expression suddenly changed.

She then gave Qingluan a signal, who, having served Goddess Nuwa for countless years, immediately understood her intentions.

Qingluan quickly fetched a cushion from the inner room and placed it on her right.

Then she pulled Nezha to sit down quickly, while adjusting their posture.

Nezha was bewildered, but it seemed like someone important was coming, so he immediately followed Sister Xiaoqing’s lead, tidied his clothes, and pretended to meditate in a state of enlightenment.

From a distance in the Chaos, a rainbow light flew rapidly and finally landed in Taisu Heaven. The rainbow light disappeared, revealing the person inside.

A handsome Daoist in a golden Daoist robe with a large gourd on his back was Lu Ya.

As the tenth of the Ten Golden Crows, Lu Ya had an extremely deep burden of karma. Even though nine brothers had died, it couldn’t offset his debts.

His father was a Golden Crow, and his mother was the original Taiyin Goddess Xi He. In terms of potential, not battle power, he was as strong as his father and uncle.

Unfortunately, he was entangled in karma, leaving him no chance to progress further. He also seldom managed the affairs of the Demon Clan.

But recently, Bai Ze had sent over ten thousand elite soldiers to Nezha, and demon generals had already come to complain.

Lu Ya was no reckless person; knowing that Goddess Nuwa was the Demon Clan’s greatest backing, he directly came to seek an audience.

Along the way, he felt an inexplicable unease.

Arriving at Nuwa Palace, Lu Ya walked up the Jade Steps step by step and then loudly declared, "Goddess Nuwa, Old Tenth has come to pay respects."

The palace gates opened, and Qingluan gracefully walked out with a dignified demeanor, smiling and said, "Tenth Prince, please. The Goddess has been waiting for you."

Lu Ya, a Quasi-Saint who had Slain Two Corpses, showed no arrogance to Qingluan, with only a Taiyi Golden Immortal’s cultivation, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Qingluan Immortal."

The two entered the palace. Nuwa sat majestically on the cloud bed with saintly aura, while a handsome, elegant youth with a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye sat cross-legged below.

Lu Ya stared straight at Nezha, and after a moment, he relied on his strong cultivation to suppress his emotional fluctuations and gave a grand bow, "Lu Ya pays respects to Goddess Nuwa!"

Nuwa opened her eyes and asked calmly, "Old Tenth, for what reason have you come?"

At this moment, Lu Ya’s mind, having Slain Two Corpses, was wildly imagining: why does this youth have the aura of my brothers on him?

Weren’t his brothers already dead?

Combined with the previous inexplicable unease.

That’s it; this must be the Goddess Nuwa’s strategic plot!

There could be a day for our brothers to reunite, no need to meet, the stinking pit of the Demon Clan is enough for me to fill, as long as my brothers are well, everything is fine.

Lu Ya’s expression changed unpredictably, and Nezha was also confused, thinking: Am I making Old Eleventh angry by replacing him?

After a while, Lu Ya’s expression finally calmed. The body that had originally stood suddenly knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Nuwa several times.

Then he sincerely said, "I, Lu Ya, do not know the Goddess’s scheme, but I will never forget her great kindness to the Golden Crow Clan!"

He then took out a large black fragment from his chest and raised it above his head with both hands, saying: "This is a Chaos Bell Fragment I acquired from uncle long ago. Lu Ya can no longer protect this treasure, now entrusting it to the Goddess."

This was untrue, as he had found the fragment only after countless Yuan Hui, wandering about in Chaos using his bloodline.

To earn the Goddess Nuwa’s favor for his brothers, it was the only valuable thing he could offer.

Nuwa: "???"

My plot?

What plot?

Nezha was also puzzled, realizing that finding the Golden Crow Essence was part of his teacher’s scheming?

Qingluan noticed Nuwa’s clear eyes and roughly guessed what her master was thinking.

Quickly making eye contact with Lu Ya without being noticed, she mouthed repeatedly: Yin Shou, Yin Shou.

Nuwa immediately realized.

Great!

Indeed, it was all my plan!
