"Then this matter is settled. When the time comes, we…" Wang Shanlu saw that Xu Chengxian didn't speak again, so he assumed he had agreed and said.
"Wait!" Xu Chengxian quickly interjected.
"Hm?" Wang Shanlu frowned, while Chengji remained expressionless.
"Two senior brothers, there's no problem with this deal, I agree," Xu Chengxian said. "But there's something I'd like to ask you about."
Xu Chengxian didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Governor Pan's younger aunt, Pan Mengdie, married Bai Wenyu, the head of the Bai family in Xuzhou, and is now the mistress of the Bai family."
"Continue," Wang Shanlu's eyes flashed.
"After I entered Xuzhou, I stayed at Governor Pan's residence. Surprisingly, there's another Pan Mengdie in their family."
Xu Chengxian said, "It's said that she was harmed by a villain fifteen years ago and fell into a well. Later, she was rescued by the Dragon King of the Well and just recently returned home."
"Dragon King of the Well?" Chengji suddenly spoke, "Which Dragon King of the Well?"
"The Dragon King of the Well in the Lovers' Well at the Yue Lao Temple in the east of the city," Xu Chengxian said, "I've seen it, on the top of the mountain behind Xiangji Mountain where Tiancan Temple is located."
He deliberately vaguely avoided mentioning the Qiankun Cauldron.
Lest Wang Shanlu seize the opportunity to ask him to return the treasure.
It was still impossible to return it.
The spiritual liquid of myriad people's incense hadn't been accumulated yet.
"The seventy-ninth illegitimate son recognized by the White Dragon of the Two Realms River?" Wang Shanlu raised an eyebrow, obviously aware of the existence of the Four-Legged Snake.
"I don't know the exact ranking, but it is indeed a son of the White Dragon King," Xu Chengxian said.
"I know it. It's a kind-hearted little demon, unlike its scoundrel father," Chengji interjected, "Unfortunately, it's a bit too naive and stupid."
It didn't even realize it was being used as a pawn, manipulated and driven by others.
"Wait, I know!" Wang Shanlu laughed, "So, Lin Rumeng, who died fifteen years ago, was actually with it?"
This question was directed at Chengji.
"It seems so," Chengji said.
Wang Shanlu smiled upon hearing this: "No wonder that stupid gecko's aptitude was so poor. The White Dragon King was still willing to recognize it?"
Recognizing it, using it up, and then throwing it into the lid of the Qiankun Cauldron as the formation eye for the restriction.
What a ruthless and unrighteous White Dragon King.
"Indeed, Ao Sanqu acts consistently like this," he said to Xu Chengxian, "Is that gecko in your hands?"
Xu Chengxian nodded.
There was nothing to hide.
Seeing this, Wang Shanlu seemed to release him and laughed, "Then tell me, does it know that it was used and discarded by its own father?"
"Not everyone can be as free as you two," Xu Chengxian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
In his opinion, the Four-Legged Snake might not be completely ignorant of everything.
But what could it do?
Did it have a choice?
Resistance would only lead to suffering. On the contrary, obedience and hard work could bring some benefits.
"So, according to what you two are saying, this later Pan Mengdie is Lin Rumeng?"
He thought for a moment and asked further, "Was it because Ao Bobo saved her that the White Dragon King knew about it and was willing to recognize it as his son?"
"Does this Lin Rumeng have some special background?"
"You're wrong, you're thinking wrong," Wang Shanlu laughed and shook his head, "The key to this matter isn't Lin Rumeng, nor is it Pan Mengdie, and it has nothing to do with Governor Pan."
"It's aimed at the Bai family after all!" Xu Chengxian immediately understood, "Is it aimed at the Bai family's Nascent Soul ancestor, or… that marriage agreement?"
"This time you're right," Wang Shanlu said.
"Both," Chengji said.
"You two, what exactly is going on?" Xu Chengxian wanted to hear the answer directly, "Which forces are behind these two Pan Mengdie?"
"There are no separate forces. They have the same force behind them," Wang Shanlu said, "It's all the work of the Two Realms River."
Then he and Chengji revealed the answer to the matter in a few words.
The two didn't know the matter very clearly because the cause was fifteen years ago, and they didn't participate in it.
However, the Two Realms River also borrowed the power of the Sea Soul Sect and Tiancan Temple in this matter, and these past events had to be recorded.
Since they were arranged to handle the aftermath, Wang Shanlu and Chengji naturally had to understand the past relationship between the sect and the Two Realms River.
Therefore, although the details of the matter were unclear, it was not difficult to deduce the truth by combining the records of Bodhi Temple and Yushan Sect, which ran through the entire process.
…
"Recorded?"
Xu Chengxian was most surprised by this point after hearing it, "Such things have to be recorded?"
Aren't these all things that can't be seen in the light?
What's the point of recording them?
To leave a black history for future generations to see?
"When several forces are involved, of course it must be recorded. Although it doesn't need to be detailed, there must be traces to follow."
Wang Shanlu looked at him strangely upon hearing this, "Otherwise, how can successors who take over foreign outposts smoothly inherit?"
"Aren't you afraid of others peeking?" Xu Chengxian was curious.
If all the records stored by a sect were spread out, wouldn't that be a big joke?
"Unless it's breached in an instant, it's impossible to leak out," Wang Shanlu's gaze became even stranger.
Almost all sect forces, large and small, have places similar to the Tianji Building, specifically used to store various records.
It's a confidential place as indispensable as the Sutra Pavilion.
Not only are there dedicated people guarding it, but there are also nested defensive formations, and teleportation or self-destruction formations are also set up.
Some small sects can't afford spirit stones and can't support the consumption of the formations, so they simply combine the two into one.
But it will definitely exist.
This also represents inheritance.
Xu Chengxian didn't even know this?
"Then who records these records?" Xu Chengxian saw Wang Shanlu's confusion, but he was really curious.
"Junior Brother Xu, don't you know that when you complete a sect mission outside, you have to hand it over when you return?" Chengji frowned, "When you hand it over, you have to hand over the jade slip that records the entire process of completing the mission."
"So that's how it is! To be honest, two senior brothers, this is my first time down the mountain," Xu Chengxian had already thought of an excuse, "Fortunately, I asked a few more questions, otherwise it would be another trouble when I go back!"
After he finished speaking, he laughed, "My master is right, there's a mouth under your nose. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Ask more. If you ask, you'll remember it. There's no harm."
"Did your sect receive sect missions from the Merit Hall or the Mission Hall? Haven't they even told you this?" Wang Shanlu took the opportunity to ask naturally.
"I haven't been there," Xu Chengxian shook his head directly, "The mission for me to go down the mountain was directly arranged by my master."
There are some powerful elders in the sect who can assign tasks to their favored juniors without going through the sect.
When the task is completed and returned to the sect, they can go to the Merit Hall to complete the procedures and transfer their contribution points to their disciples.
Wang Shanlu and Chengji stopped asking after hearing this.
"I see."
Since the matter was settled, the two didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
In the next moment, their figures disappeared into the night.
"…They're finally gone," Xu Chengxian thought to himself.
Heh heh, you still want to probe my details?
Don't you know?
I have the jade slip given by my third brother.
However, not everything is in the jade slip. For example, the fact that this sect would actually record all the plans and calculations and archive them is not included.
It was also because this operation was really a bit surprising that he couldn't help but ask.
Compared to this, the truth about the real and fake Pan Mengdie seems less bizarre.
"After all, the overall situation is still within expectations."
"However, I didn't expect this matter to also involve the Dragon King inheritance of the Yellow Dragon clan in the South Sea."
