Chapter 142 Senior Brother Mo Goes to Apply for the Time Divine Scripture?

Contrary to Wang Yan's expectations, this governor had a refined appearance and a calm demeanor, possessing the qualities of both a Confucian scholar and a politician. Upon meeting him, the governor warmly praised him as a young genius, which made Wang Yan feel somewhat ashamed.

Du Long and Zheng Xianchao were reunited after a long separation and chatted happily about news from all over the country.

Wang Yan listened from the side, occasionally agreeing with the governor, which made the governor's smile deepen, and he stopped questioning him in his words.

After chatting for nearly half an hour, Qiu Jun, who had finished his work, also came and joined the conversation. He talked about the newly opened ordinary snack street, and sure enough, Governor Zheng Xianchao readily agreed.

The specific rewards and punishments will be discussed in detail by Qiu Jun and Zheng Xianchao.

At noon, the banquet begins, guests drink freely, and after the banquet, the guests are seen off.

After seeing his guests off, Wang Yan returned to Yunxiao Garden and asked Du Long, who had already used his internal energy to dissipate the smell of alcohol, "Grandmaster, shall we go out for a secret investigation? I know your divine sense can cover the entire prefecture, but wouldn't it be more effective to experience it personally?"

Dulong chuckled and pointed at him, "Alright, let's change clothes and go secretly investigate the Zhu family's businesses!"

……

The process of inspecting (and observing) the Zhu family's properties was rather ordinary, with no instances of bullying men or women. Moreover, Wang Yan's identity was recognized at the Zhu family's blacksmith shop, so he simply left with Du Long and went to the Yuan family's properties.

Along the way, Wang Yan saw that several shops were closed. Curious, he asked a nearby shop and learned that they belonged to the Qian family. Now, because the Qian family's spies had been exposed, the shops had been sealed off by the state government.

"Uncle-Master, the share vacated by the Qian family should be divided between the Du and Di families. The majority goes to the Du family, and the remainder to the Di and Huo families." After pondering for a moment, Wang Yan sent a divine message to Du Long: "Uncle Di once attended a private school and is on good terms with the hunters. He is considered one of the more knowledgeable people in our village."

Dulong looked at him curiously again and sent a telepathic message: "You don't want your uncle and aunt to come and do business here?"

"Uncle is easily swayed, I'll just send some money back to him periodically," Wang Yan shook his head slightly.

He really didn't feel any closeness to the Wang family in this life.

"Alright! I'll inform the Du family about this and have Xuan Kuang handle it."

……

At the same time, on the brightly lit first floor of the Divine Inscription Hall of the Cloud Cauldron Sect, Mo Jingqing, dressed in white and appearing immaculate, bowed to Qiu Xuan and Kuang Erya, who were on duty: "Senior Brother, I have indeed come up with the Time Divine Inscription. Please make the arrangements."

"Junior Brother Mo, why are you doing this?" Qiu Xuankuang looked at Mo Jingqing with pity, whose brows were furrowed with suppressed worry. "Junior Brother Wang has the Six-Petaled Flower of Literary Heart, which is why he dared to try it. Now that our Yunding Sect has its own Time Divine Script, why do you still have to compare it with lifespan?"

Seeing Mo Jingqing's brows furrow slightly and his face solemn, Qiu Xuankuang paused for a moment, then finally sighed softly and conceded: "Alright, allow me to report to my master first."

Two quarters of an hour later, Guan Xizhi, who had been summoned by Qin Bilian, entered the first floor of the main hall with a frown: "Jing Qing, do you know that even if you successfully apply, you may not be able to compare with Wang Yan's Time Divine Script?"

Mo Jingqing stared at her intently for a few moments, then his eyes revealed a hint of disappointment: "Grandmaster Guan, you have always trusted and supported me. Why are you stopping me this time and no longer trust me?"

"Even if Wang Yan has the six-petaled flower of literary talent, I have spent far more time studying and receiving instruction than he has."

Qiu Xuankuang's lips twitched.

That sounds so familiar!

It seems like just over two weeks ago, Zhao Mingtong was here and had the same suspicions about Wang Yan.

Then, Wang Yan delivered a heavy blow, and they haven't recovered or overtaken him yet.

Guan Xizhi glanced at Qiu Xuankuang with concern, then continued to persuade Mo Jingqing, "The matter of divine rune combinations is all about talent. Even with Master Qin's cultivation level, he still lost to your Master Deng in terms of divine runes. Why are you so hung up on this?"

A sinister glint flashed across Mo Jingqing's eyes as he bowed to her again: "Since this disciple is to shoulder the responsibility of this core text, I must naturally live up to its title. Senior Brother Qiu, please help this disciple with the formalities."

A few dozen breaths later, Guan Xizhi and Qiu Xuankuang helplessly watched as the stubborn Mo Jingqing entered the "Life" God room.

In the late afternoon, Wang Yan was gritting his teeth and grimacing as he "wrote" the new character "神" in the east courtyard of Yunxiao Garden when he suddenly received a divine message from Du Long.

"Wang Yan, the Peak Master has sent a message. Peak Master Zhu has something to tell you. Please come here for a moment."

Wang Yan thought for a few moments before remembering which peak this "Peak Master Zhu" belonged to. He quickly put down the stone nail in his hand and hurried to the main courtyard.

Dulong looked at him kindly: "Not bad, you've written a few more third-tier divine characters. Your progress is rapid!"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "This disciple does indeed wish to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm as soon as possible. What message did Peak Master Zhu convey?"

Dulong laughed, a hint of disdain in his smile: "Peak Master Zhu said that Mo Jingqing just tried to apply for a set of time-related divine scripts, but failed and it even damaged his lifespan."

"Fortunately, Xiao Qiu was smart and asked his master to invite Peak Master Guan over in advance to prepare for rescue, so that Mo Jingqing did not suffer too much damage."

"Peak Master Zhu didn't go to see Mo Jingqing, but only entrusted Peak Master Guan to tell him not to rush to write new divine script. Peak Master Zhu also asked our Peak Master to pass on a message that from yesterday to today, the medicinal herbs within the Hundred Herbs Peak area have grown at an average rate of one hundred years, which is consistent with your divine script."

"But yesterday it was Peak Master Zhu who performed it personally. Today it will be performed by his grand-disciple, Feng Xuan, who is at the Profound Breaking Realm. We will see the effect tomorrow and report back then."

"I also hope you don't need to rush back to Feng. After you finish the purchasing task, you can come with me to visit other places."

Wang Yan was surprised: "Mo Jingqing failed? He didn't assemble it in his sea of ​​consciousness first?"

Du Long was taken aback, then looked at him strangely: "No one dares to combine time-related divine runes in their sea of ​​consciousness, for fear of shortening their lifespan. Last time, Peak Master Zhu let you try the time-related divine runes because you had that special method of resolving it."

Wang Yan suddenly realized: "So Mo Jingqing only wrote it on paper and went to the 'Life' character room to try it. He wasn't sure he could succeed? Then why bother?"

"He was forced into it by you!" Dulong's eyes held a hint of schadenfreude. "If you had reported it a day earlier, before he came out of seclusion, the pressure on him wouldn't have been so great. You deliberately did it before he came out, so naturally he felt you were provoking him."

Wang Yan retorted, "Forget it, I won't explain. Let him misunderstand if he wants! Anyway, he didn't succeed, and it's even more embarrassing for him now!"

Dulong burst into hearty laughter: "Yes, he's embarrassed, but you're even more proud!"

Wang Yan looked at Du Long with a strange expression: "Uncle-Master, are you so happy?"

After laughing, Du Long said contemptuously, "Mo Jingqing seized control of the Nebula Array from your Uncle Fang as soon as he came out of seclusion. Not only is your Uncle Jin unhappy about this, but your Uncle Zhou is unhappy too, and even I am unhappy!"

"He could have cooperated with our grandmaster to handle the affairs of state properly and appease the people on the sect leader's peak, but he insisted on displaying his influence as the sect leader's grandson. Changing generals on the eve of battle is a major taboo, and he knew this perfectly well, yet he did it on purpose. Many people on our Shenwen Peak are very angry."
