Chapter 114 Zhao Mingtong Comes to See Me Again
In fact, the main defensive force has now shifted from the Nebula Array to the two sets of divine rune defenses: "Rock Solid" and "Illuminated by the Sun and Moon." For the time being, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Although the divine script was Wang Yan's idea, it was also the idea of those brilliant literary figures from his previous life; he was merely a conveyor.
The one who performed the feat was not Wang Yan, but rather many experts from the Yunding Sect at the Condensation Realm and Solidification Realm.
Not afraid.
Having thought it through, Wang Yan once again confidently advised Deacon Jin: "Uncle Jin, for now, relinquishing control of the Nebula Array is the best solution."
Deacon Xiao Jin's expression softened: "I know. It's just that seeing the Peak Master's repeated tolerance and concessions towards him, I still feel a bit uneasy."
Wang Yan shook his head: "In Master Qin's eyes, Senior Brother Mo is just a junior. It's not a matter of tolerance, but at most a lack of concern and inclusiveness. Moreover, Senior Brother Mo's current actions haven't crossed the line."
More likely, Master Qin regarded Wang Yan as a more suitable successor genius to be cultivated, and felt a little guilty towards Mo Jingqing, so he was not so irritable in response to Senior Brother Mo's series of provocative actions.
Just then, he unexpectedly extended his divine sense and looked at the first floor outside the door.
Zhao Mingtong actually brought another middle-aged guard to the Divine Script Hall, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Senior Brother Qiu, I want to see Wang Yan."
Qiu Xuankuang, who was on duty on the first floor, raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "You still want to compete with Wang Yan?"
Deacon Jin clearly noticed this as well, and a hint of sympathy appeared in his eyes: "Zhao Mingtong wants to see you, so do you want to see him?"
Wang Yan thought for a moment, then nodded: "He and I don't have any grudge against each other. Let's meet!"
Butler Jin understood and stood up: "Alright, let's talk in more detail when we have time!"
Wang Yan also stood up: "Uncle Jin, trust Grandmaster Qin. He won't let a junior bully him. What he's doing now is simply to protect the sect's future, and incidentally, to protect me."
How could a powerful being who has lived for over a thousand years allow himself to be bullied by a junior who is only a few decades old? If he were truly weak-willed, he would never have been able to break through to the Transformation Realm!
Deacon Jin paused for a moment, then understood, a hint of gratitude appearing in his tired eyes: "Okay."
After Deacon Xiao Jin left, Wang Yan walked out of the room and came to the stairwell outside: "Senior Brother Qiu, please let him come up!"
After Zhao Mingtong entered his room alone, leaving the middle-aged guard at the stairwell, Wang Yan's gaze softened slightly.
He closed the door, then looked sympathetically at Zhao Mingtong's dark circles: "You've been thinking about new divine runes again these past few days. Look at your eyes, they're bloodshot!"
During the Xuan Dong stage, a slight circulation of Xuan Qi can eliminate dark circles under the eyes, unless one is unwilling to do so or is overthinking.
Zhao Mingtong is clearly the latter.
Zhao Mingtong looked around the room, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You've been staying here these past few days? It's more comfortable than the thatched hut of a level two spirit sprout. Didn't Grandmaster Qin ask you to go to Divine Inscription Peak to choose a cave dwelling?"
"We're all learning to write the character for 'god' here, we haven't had a chance to go yet." Wang Yan was very frank: "We can go and choose after the great battle is over."
Zhao Mingtong looked at him strangely: "You seem to have a pretty open-minded attitude."
After his expression changed several times, he flipped his wrist and took out a soundproof array that was at least at the second level, activating it with his profound energy.
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, both amused and exasperated: "You think your formation can keep Senior Brother Qiu out, but can it keep out everyone else?"
Once he was sure that no sounds could get through, Zhao Mingtong reluctantly spoke up: "At least my guard won't know. Of course, Master Qin will hear, but he will definitely keep it a secret for us."
Wang Yan shrugged: "You insisted on coming to see me at this dangerous time. Do you think your grandfather wouldn't guess what you were thinking?"
Zhao Mingtong looked at him strangely: "My grandfather said that the two divine inscriptions you came up with helped Master Qin and the others from Divine Inscription Peak to block the attack of the three sects. They are currently preparing to retreat, and the sect is safe now."
Wang Yan was surprised: "I didn't expect your grandfather to think so highly of me! Hey, why do you always seem to target me?"
Zhao Mingtong looked somewhat sullen as he sat down at the table opposite him: "Before, you were only at the Town-level Sea of Consciousness level and hadn't shown any signs of the Flower of Literary Heart. But suddenly your speed in writing divine characters has become so fast. Of course, I'm going to pay attention to you, afraid that you'll go astray."
"Fine, thanks for your concern!" Wang Yan rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed. "But given the current situation, just say what you want to say. I don't think you really care about me!"
Zhao Mingtong immediately scoffed, "If I were to care about anyone, it would be Lin Yue, not you."
He paused for a moment, then continued, still somewhat reluctantly, "Wang Yan, you should know Senior Brother Mo, right? He's come out of seclusion."
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she admitted confidently, "I know!"
Zhao Mingtong took a deep breath, as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and his gaze was complicated: "I admit that your divine script is well written. Although your sea of consciousness is currently only at the town level, given time and with the support of Master Qin, it is hard to guarantee that you will not reach the prefecture level."
"I also admire that you were able to successfully write the character 'Nai' when you were only at the second level of spirit sprout. The divine script you wrote has a very beautiful artistic conception, so I am no longer jealous of you."
"However, my lack of jealousy doesn't mean that Senior Brother Mo isn't jealous."
Zhao Ming's tone shifted abruptly, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Although he possesses a national-level Sea of Consciousness, he only has four petals of the Flower of Literary Heart. Previously, Uncle Deng, Uncle Fang, Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Chen all yielded to him out of respect for the Sect Master, but you certainly won't, right?"
"He can never surpass the divine texts you submitted. Do you think he'll be content to be forever overshadowed by you?"
Wang Yan's expression shifted.
Deacon Xiao Jin disliked Mo Jingqing, partly because Mo Jingqing forcefully took over the Nebula Array from Fang Heyun.
Zhao Mingtong doesn't even like Mo Jingqing, but he can accept Di Nan... It seems that this Senior Brother Mo is really arrogant, at least in terms of interpersonal skills, he is not as good as Di Nan.
Thinking this through, Wang Yan calmly replied, "I never intended to suppress Senior Brother Mo. Of course, I also never intended to conceal my strength. If I can devise a better divine script, I will certainly apply for it!"
Zhao Mingtong smiled disdainfully: "I believe you don't have that ambition, but Senior Brother Mo is a core writer, yet he can only watch helplessly as you continuously apply for divine writings. He's powerless to catch up. Do you think he might feel that his title as a core writer is undeserved, and thus become jealous and hateful towards you?"
Wang Yan's gaze shifted, and she looked at him sympathetically: "You actually came to remind me? You don't like him very much, but you want to cooperate with me?"
Zhao Mingtong guiltily avoided his gaze, but immediately met his eyes again with pride: "I will definitely become an elder of Fire Refining Peak in the future. I just don't want to be an old man like Senior Brother Mo, standing side by side with Lin Yue, receiving congratulations and attention from other sects."
