The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 638: The True Meaning of Star God’s Conquest of Heaven

Of course, Zhao Chen was also very clear that there was a True Lord in charge of the Sima family's "Cave Heaven", and it was wishful thinking to want to take away the "Big Sun Lamp" by conspiracy and trickery.

All we can do now is to lay the groundwork in the early stages to prepare for when real opportunities arise in the future.

Well... my understanding of "Sima Jinghui" comes entirely from Ma Guangming's memory, which may be somewhat distorted. I still need to investigate from other aspects and make a comprehensive assessment.

Zhao Chen's thoughts raced as he decided that after meeting the "weapon refining master", he would use the "Hundred Flowers Book" to summon the Wind Fairy to ask about the situation.

So he nodded to Ming Xueling, who immediately understood and agreed to Shi Wenxuan's commission.

Although Shi Wenxuan had long lost her ambition, she was not stupid. How could she not see that Ming Xueling obeyed Zhao Chen's orders?

Although she was somewhat surprised as to why her niece, who had always been independent-minded, could be so easily bullied by a teenager whose cultivation was inferior to hers, she did not ask much... After all, Duan Mingxue was a top-grade cultivator with supernatural powers, so there was no need for her to meddle in his business.

What's more, his father is completing the task of refining equipment in the Taoist office these days.

After finishing the small talk, Zhao Chen and his companions did not delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Shi Wenxuan one after another, they left the tower and followed Zheng Qingyan's lead to a large workshop in the backyard.

This courtyard had obviously been expanded using magical powers. Its area was as large as the four or five courtyards in front combined. Inside, machines were roaring and flames were blazing.

There were two steel puppet guards at the entrance of the workshop. When they saw Zhao Chen and the other two coming in, they wanted to check their ID cards. However, after seeing Ming Xueling, they retreated on their own and did not stop them.

Seeing this scene, a smart man like Zhao Chen would definitely guess who the weapon-making master who agreed to recast the "Youlong Gun" was.

"'Master Tianding' also works in the Taoist office?" While asking, Zhao Chen glanced at Zheng Qingyan beside him and found that although the expression of this "Dragon Girl" was still indifferent, there was undisguised disappointment in her eyes.

Obviously, since Zhao Chen had guessed it in advance, the "fun" she was originally prepared to see no longer existed.

"Many immortals from the upper sects and aristocratic families will serve in various institutions of the imperial court. 'Tian Ding Immortal' is a guest elder hired by the Taoist government. He will regularly go to the northwestern states to refine weapons and make battle flags.

"Ming Xueling used his daughter's identity. Although Fairy Duan allowed it and Master Tianding didn't expose it, it's better to get away with it.

"I mean well..." Zheng Qingyan answered without any guilt, but her gaze shifted slightly to the side.

"Don't I know your little thoughts?" Zhao Chen glanced at her. He could roughly guess what Zheng Qingyan was thinking, but he still felt that he had to teach this dragon girl a "profound" lesson when he returned.

Also, try out the effectiveness of your "Golden Seal to Suppress Demons".

On the other side, Ming Xueling didn't have much feeling about meeting her "father". She was neither looking forward to it nor afraid.

In fact, because she obtained the "spirit" after Duan Mingxue and "Master Tianding" had a falling out, she had never seen the other party. Not only did she have no feelings for him, she even had a little resentment towards him.

Blame him for not caring about Duan Mingxue... If he was willing to take action, even if it was just to save Duan Mingxue in the end, the latter would not have been forced into "history".

As for "fear"? That's not an emotion Ming Xueling can understand at the moment.

The three of them had already arrived at the room in the center of the workshop while they were talking. Just as they were about to knock on the door, a gentle voice came from inside: "Fairy Zheng, please stay...

"Just let Mingxue bring this young man in."

Although these words were said politely, they contained a meaning that could not be questioned. Zheng Qingyan and Zhao Chen looked at each other, and did not force it. They bowed slightly and said, "I will follow the orders of the Immortal."

Zhao Chen took a deep breath, then opened the door and walked in with Ming Xueling.

The room was large but extremely empty, with nothing else except a huge three-legged bronze tripod in the center.

A middle-aged Taoist priest with an elegant face was sitting cross-legged in front of the tripod.

He was holding a dustpan in his hand and wearing a simple Taoist robe, but to Zhao Chen he didn't look like a living person.

The elegant Taoist priest shook off the dust, and the door closed automatically, with two cushions appearing on the ground.

"Sit down." The elegant Taoist smiled slightly, "Don't be too nervous. I'm just a puppet. I may not be able to beat you in terms of strength."

There was no way Zhao Chen would believe such words. Before sitting down, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master."

Ming Xueling also greeted at the same time: "Hello, Master."

The elegant Taoist nodded to Zhao Chen in response, then looked at Ming Xueling and said, "Since you are walking around as my daughter, just call me 'Dad'.

"I wouldn't mind having another daughter."

Ming Xueling didn't say this, because even Duan Mingxue himself had never called the other party "Dad" again after what happened ten years ago.

The two sides looked at each other, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

"Ahem!" Zhao Chen coughed, breaking the strange atmosphere, and took the initiative to ask: "I wonder what you think of Fairy Duan being forced into 'history'?"

The elegant Taoist priest, or "Tian Ding Zhenren", withdrew his gaze from Ming Xueling and said with a smile: "Just like her mother, it's all due to 'fate'."

This statement... is very negative and heartless! Zhao Chen frowned and said carefully: "But I heard that since the advent of the 'Star God', the fate of this world has been 'uncertain'."

This statement originated from the "All Stars Society", but it has been recognized by many major forces.

"That's why I said it was her 'fate' that caused it, not her 'destiny'." The middle-aged man in a simple Taoist robe waved away a dust cloud, and the scene of Duan Mingxue holding the "Star God Surrender to the Sky" ceremony and asking for an opportunity for revenge immediately appeared in the room.

"Mingxue's 'fate' had already changed when this ceremony was performed... Haha, the essence of 'Star God Jiaotian' was never to predict the future, but to ask Xuantian to arrange fate according to His will.

"'Jie' originally means 'force'.

"But the fate arranged by 'Star God Jiao Tian' is often very tortuous and contains deeper purposes. Every time it is used, it will bring great chaos!
"Mingxue thought she had seen the opportunity to kill Gu Changhe just by reading half of the prophecy poem, but she was totally wrong.

"In my opinion, the 'spirit' accidentally created in her puppet form after that ritual is the key to the result she sought."

As he said that, he looked at Ming Xueling again, "That's you!"

"Star God surrenders the sky", the Star God uses his own power to force Xuantian to cooperate in creating destiny... So this is the true meaning of "Star God surrenders the sky"? !
