Chapter 586 The Struggle Between Two Women: An Intention to Revive the Nation?
"Let's go in together then."
With their minds at ease, both believed that the other would not interfere with them, and smiles appeared on their pretty faces, which had previously held a hint of rivalry.
"Hmm." Ya Li nodded slightly, pushed open the door first, and then walked in with Leng Yaozhu.
At this moment, Mu Ye and Jiang Xiu finished discussing the matter of the position of young sect leader with Aruheng.
Upon seeing Ya Li and Leng Yaozhu walk in, Mu Ye stood up and said with a smile, "You've come at just the right time. I'm cooking today, so please eat here."
Leng Yaozhu and Ya Li exchanged a glance and both smiled in agreement.
Soon, after having Aruheng and Jiangxiu entertain him, Makino went to the kitchen himself.
He knew perfectly well that the two men hadn't come to see him, but rather to see his apprentice.
After brewing another pot of tea, Aruheng followed Muye into the kitchen, saying he wanted to help out.
For a moment, only Jiang Xiu and two others remained in the main hall.
Leng Yaozhu raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Yali, is there something you want to tell Xiaoxiu?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Li's fair and dignified face flushed slightly. After clearing her throat twice, she parted her red lips and said:
"This is a private matter between Jiang Xiu and me, and only the two of us know about it, so we'll talk about it when we get back to our room..."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's cold and beautiful phoenix eyes instantly narrowed, and the thoughts that had just settled surged up again.
What do you mean by "private matters between only her and Xiaoxiu"?
What private matters could Yali and Xiaoxiu possibly have? Why do they have to avoid her?
Instantly, Leng Yaozhu's gaze towards Jiang Xiu held a probing intent.
After feeling Leng Yaozhu's gaze, Jiang Xiu actually experienced the feeling of being drenched in sweat for the first time.
He really didn't expect the two of them to come together.
"Lord Leng, what brings you to see Jiang Xiu? If you're in a hurry, can you take care of that first?"
At this point, Yali continued.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu first gave Jiang Xiu a very interesting look, and then said without showing any weakness:
"The matters between this tower master and Xiao Xiu can only be discussed privately between the two of us, and it is not convenient to talk about them here."
Yali's blue eyes paused slightly, a hint of confusion appearing in them.
She and Jiang Xiu were supposed to have an in-depth discussion about the power of faith, but she hadn't heard that Leng Yaozhu also possessed the power of faith.
What do those two do in private?
Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a confrontation, Jiang Xiu absolutely could not allow this situation to continue.
He immediately said, "Aunt Leng, what happened between me and Teacher Yali concerns the power of faith, and this matter is of great importance, so it cannot be known to outsiders."
"is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu seemed to realize something, and her previously suspicious gaze slowly faded.
As the current patriarch of the Leng family and the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, he had heard a little about Ya Li's Prayer Angel Martial Soul and the power of faith within her.
If Yali and Xiaoxiu are only discussing the power of faith, then there's really nothing wrong with it, and she doesn't need to worry too much.
Ya Li did not deny it, after all, she and Jiang Xiu had only been discussing the power of faith and had not done anything else.
But she no longer wanted to limit herself to exploring the power of faith...
She already understood her own feelings, and besides, the key to the God of Love's test lay with Jiang Xiu.
"By the way, Deputy Tower Master Leng, what are you and Jiang Xiu planning to do in private?" Ya Li asked with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's gaze shifted slightly, and the feeling of being drenched in sweat reappeared.
Before Leng Yaozhu could speak, Jiang Xiu said first, "Teacher Yali, my martial soul and Aunt Leng's martial soul are related. If we cultivate together at close range, it will promote the advancement of our cultivation."
Upon hearing this, a rare hint of mist flashed in Leng Yaozhu's cold and beautiful eyes.
When she and Jiang Xiu cultivated together, they weren't just at close range; sometimes they were even at near-miss...
"Is it similar to a spirit fusion skill?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Li immediately understood and looked up at Leng Yaozhu.
"There is no obligation to inform."
Leng Yaozhu said in a calm tone, "She couldn't possibly tell Yali the details of her cultivation with Jiang Xiu."
With the crisis in front of him resolved, Jiang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that the relationship between Ya Li and Leng Yaozhu was unusual, and he didn't want to spoil it prematurely.
Moreover, he hasn't even confirmed his relationship with Yali yet...
Subsequently, the atmosphere inside the main hall gradually calmed down.
Soon, one steaming dish after another was served by Aruheng, filling the air with the aroma of delicious food.
Na'er had already arrived, drawn by the scent.
"Boss, I miss you so, so, so much!"
As soon as Na'er arrived at the Body Sect, she threw herself into Jiang Xiu's arms and gave him a headbutt.
After returning from Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Jiang Xiu had been in seclusion until today.
Jiang Xiu reached out and gently rubbed Na'er's head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ya Li and Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but show different emotions in their eyes.
Leng Yaozhu felt both envious and hesitant.
She longed to be with Jiang Xiu openly and honestly, but he was Na'er's master. Wasn't this tantamount to the master stealing her disciple's home...?
But she firmly believed in Jiang Xiu that one day their relationship would no longer be as secretive as it is today.
"Is this what love is...?"
Yali murmured to herself, her beautiful emerald eyes filled with longing.
I believe that if she follows the guidance of Cupid, she will definitely have a chance.
After all the dishes were served, everyone began to eat, chatting and laughing. Na'er seemed to transform into a lightning bolt, her rosy cheeks bulging with food...
While the Body Sect was enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, the atmosphere elsewhere was quite different.
……
Federal, a meeting room.
Under the blazing white soul-guided light, the silver-white metal walls gleamed coldly. No one spoke in the entire conference room, making it feel rather dull and solemn.
There were sixteen people in the meeting room. If anyone from within the Federation were present, they would be shocked to discover that these sixteen people were all high-ranking and powerful members of Congress.
"Everyone, stop standing there! We can't just sit here and wait to die. As long as Shrek Academy can't be rebuilt, our influence in the Federation will diminish."
At this moment, the leading federal congressman slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, the other councilors' eyes immediately lit up with different expressions.
They were all federal congressmen who came from Shrek Academy, and no one understood the role of Shrek Academy better than them.
Shrek Academy is like a symbol of belonging to them, and it even plays a significant role in their status within the Federation.
After all, quite a few Soul Masters enter the Federation from Shrek Academy every year, and these Soul Masters will naturally prioritize joining their ranks after joining the Federation from Shrek Academy.
However, Shrek Academy has not yet been fully rebuilt, and this has already affected their interests.
