Chapter 774 Honey Trap?
A man and two women walked out of the Divine Capital and headed towards the Academy of All Saints.

It was Zhou Qing, An Lang, and Wu Mingkong whom they met by chance at the lantern festival.

Because of An Lang's connection, and Wu Mingkong also wanted to get to know Zhou Qing, the three of them went to the lantern festival together.

Zhou Qing was preparing to return to the Academy of All Saints, and Wu Mingkong also wanted to go there, so they went together again.

On the way, Wu Mingkong said to An Lang:
"Before, you chose not to meet An Yu and the others because humans and ghosts have different paths, and because you and Fellow Daoist Zhou were going to Xuandu Temple and staying away from Tianzhou. This was a good choice."

"But since we have this fate today, perhaps you can meet your sister formally in the future."

"They have lived in the capital of gods for many years, so they are not unacceptable to matters of ghosts."

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement. "Princess, what you said is correct. Since An Yu and the others have experienced these things before, it is not so scary for you to appear in front of them as a ghost."

Once, due to various reasons and concerns, An Lang only chose to meet An Yu in his dreams and did not make a formal appearance.

But since An Yu and his wife had lived in Shendu for several years and had certain connections with the Eastern Zhou royal family.

Then some of the previous concerns will naturally be resolved and will no longer be a problem.

An Lang nodded, fell into deep thought, and considered.

Wu Mingkong added: "But don't worry, if An Yu and the others come back in the future, I won't say much, and everything will be up to you to decide."

"Thank you princess."

Wu Mingkong nodded, said no more about it, and looked at Zhou Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, after coming out of the reincarnation spring, I think you can prepare for the earth realm, right?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Isn't it the same for the princess?"

They chatted a lot at the Lantern Festival.

Zhou Qing also learned that among the eight places for the reincarnation spring this time, Wu Mingkong occupied one of the two that belonged to the royal family.

The cultivation level of this Princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at this time was also at the third level of refining and transformation. Like Zhou Qing at this moment, she was only one step away from the Earth Realm.

As for whether she had comprehended the true meaning, Zhou Qing couldn't tell.

The last time Zhou Qing and Wu Mingkong met, she was still in the first stage of transformation, and her progress could be said to be very obvious.

The talent is indeed extraordinary!

Wu Mingkong looked thoughtful, and suddenly said:
"Friend Zhou, have we met somewhere before? Why do I always feel that you are familiar?"

Wu Mingkong didn't have this feeling when he first met Zhou Qing, but as he communicated with Zhou Qing later, that sense of familiarity gradually emerged.

But she was very confused. If she had seen someone like Zhou Qing, she would definitely not forget him.

And Zhou Qing obviously understood what Wu Mingkong was referring to.

Race can change, appearance can change.

But no matter what Zhou Qing becomes, as long as he doesn't change it on purpose, his behavior habits and way of speaking will ultimately be based on his current identity.

Zhou Qing thought about it and decided not to hide it anymore, so he said directly:
"In fact, the princess and I have met before and spent more than ten days together."

If Zhou Qing had not come to Dongzhou and met Wu Mingkong again, the experience on the grassland would definitely have been kept secret forever.

But once he comes into contact with Wu Mingkong more often as Zhou Qing, some clues will definitely be discovered.

No one can detect the changes of the fairy tree, but some minor clues can sometimes be "fatal".

For example, when Zhou Qing fought side by side with Wu Mingkong in the grassland, he used the Six Spirit Puppets and the Three Spirit Formation.

He had also taken action personally in the grassland, and Wu Mingkong must remember those traces.

If he shows up in the future, Wu Mingkong will definitely think of the phoenix in the grassland first.

By then, Wu Mingkong would either suspect that the phoenix was him in disguise.

Otherwise, Wu Mingkong would suspect that he had later killed the phoenix and taken away the treasure belonging to the phoenix.

The former is not so bad, at most it will just be a loss of a layer of vest.

But if it was the latter, it would be bad. Killing a phoenix with extremely noble blood might lead to a series of misunderstandings.

Zhou Qing didn't want to hide things when he knew that things might go wrong, thus causing avoidable and unnecessary misunderstandings.

Therefore, admitting it directly at this time is the best option.

Anyway, given his status, it is reasonable and logical for him to have a treasure that can perform seamless changes to cover up his identity.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Qing's words, Wu Mingkong was slightly startled and asked:

"We have been together for more than ten days? When did it happen? Why do I have no recollection of it?"

Have I lost my memory?

Zhou Qing reminded, “More than a year ago, the barbarians invaded Da Qi, and the princess and I met on the grassland.”

"grassland……"

Wu Mingkong immediately thought of his own experience at that time and was extremely shocked.

"Are you the phoenix?"

She only stayed with the phoenix of extremely noble blood for more than ten days in the grassland, and had never interacted with other creatures.

Not to mention, looking at Wu Mingkong's surprised expression, I feel quite comfortable in my heart.

This is the Immortal Tree Visualization Method! This is the Universal Characteristic!
The royal princess can't see through it, and the celestial realm masters who are secretly guarding her can't find any flaws. It's invincible!

"The Phoenix was transformed by me."

Zhou Qing said frankly: "In order to avoid being targeted by the barbarians, I chose to transform into a phoenix and act on the grassland."

"You know, at that time, the human and barbarian tribes were at war. If I showed up at the back of the grassland in the identity of a human, it would be too attractive."

As Zhou Qing spoke, he also made his soul undergo a transformation, revealing the phoenix's aura as evidence.

Wu Mingkong had a deep impression of this aura, it was very familiar and he would definitely not make a mistake. After all, the phoenix he met at the beginning had such noble bloodline that it was unforgettable.

This made Wu Mingkong fall silent, and this fact also made her feel a little confused.

She never imagined that the wild phoenix whom she had met by chance in the grassland and whom she had high hopes for and strongly invited to join the Shanhai Region was actually a transformed human?
Or the former first disciple of Xuandu Temple, the peerless genius who has been in the limelight recently...

No wonder no matter how I invited it or what benefits I promised it, the phoenix remained unmoved and kept refusing invitations.

She is a human being and is enjoying the best treatment in Xuandu Temple. It would be strange if she agreed to go with her to the Phoenix clan.

Wu Mingkong felt embarrassed when he thought about his performance on the grassland.

Am I a bit like an actor in a troupe?

"You are really good at hiding it from me. I really thought you were a phoenix at that time."

Zhou Qing said very sincerely: "I didn't tell the princess my true identity and concealed it from her. I hope you can forgive me."

Wu Mingkong calmed down, shook his head and said:
"You are too kind. The situation was special at the time, and there were enemies everywhere. It is understandable that you did this."

"Besides, when you and I met on the grassland, I concealed my identity and did not disclose it. This way, we owe each other nothing."

Wu Mingkong did not mention his background at the time, nor did he say his surname. He only said that his name was Mingkong.

It was only after Zhou Qing had spent some time with her that he was able to determine her origins from the Taoist martial arts she used.

It is normal to conceal your identity when you are out and about and meet strangers.

Wu Mingkong added: "But Brother Zhou's method is truly miraculous. Even if I know the truth now, when I recall the situation at that time, I cannot find any flaws in your method of transformation."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou should be able to guess that when I appeared in the grassland, I was secretly protected by a master. He was an elder in the Heaven Realm, but he was unable to discover your problem."

After getting rid of the embarrassment, Wu Mingkong regained his rationality and was immediately amazed at Zhou Qing's methods of change.

It is so realistic that it doesn't look like a transformation, but rather like a real phoenix.

Zhou Qing said modestly: "Princess, you are too kind. My transformation still has flaws, but they are more hidden."

"You are too modest. Your ability to change is so powerful that even the Heaven Realm cannot see through it. It is unsolvable in this world."

No one could have imagined that there would be such an ability as the ability to transform into anything. After discovering Zhou Qing's ability to transform, most people would just think that this ability was too magical and that they were too short-sighted to see it.

But no one would ever think that this is not a change, but a real change of race.

This kind of thing is too outrageous. If Zhou Qing was not involved, he would not believe that such ability existed in the world.

As Wu Mingkong spoke, he thought of something else and his expression suddenly became complicated.

"I remember that when we met in the grassland, you were at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, the Manifestation Realm, right?"

"It's only been a short time, and you've already reached this level of cultivation... It's too fast."

She had already read Zhou Qing's information and knew that his cultivation speed was rare in the world and so fast that it was unbelievable.

She was a little shocked at the time. She didn't expect that there were such people in the world.

But that was only information on paper after all, and its impact was far less than it is now.

Reading intelligence is a bit like reading a story.

But now, she had witnessed and experienced the changes in Zhou Qing with her own eyes, and the impact was unparalleled.

What kind of genius hadn’t the proud daughter of the Eastern Zhou royal family seen?
But she had never seen a genius like Zhou Qing.

"The princess's training speed is also swift, and few in the world can compare to her."

Zhou Qing praised: "It has only been a year since we last met, and the princess has advanced two levels of refinement. She is truly a deity."

"When I met you in the grassland, I had already been practicing in the first level of refinement for nearly a year. After leaving the grassland, I broke through to the second level of refinement."

"And you have cultivated to the same level as me in the same period of time with a lower starting point... Mingkong admires you."

Wu Mingkong sighed lightly. In the realm of the Venerable, it took her almost a year to break through a small realm.

This was already very fast. He was at the top of the world, surpassing countless geniuses. In the past, Wu Mingkong was also proud of his own speed of cultivation.

But now compared with Zhou Qing...why do I feel so stupid?

After more than a year of separation, he has come to this stage from the stage of Manifestation of the Sage and Cleansing of the Marrow. If he is given another ten years, where can he go?
All I can say is that Xuandu the Exiled Immortal lives up to his reputation.

For the first time, Wu Mingkong intuitively experienced the gap between the speed of cultivation of mediocre people and geniuses.

Thinking of her experience on the grassland and Zhou Qing's amazing deeds, she couldn't help but feel some admiration in her heart.

Given her background, she is not unable to accept the fact that there are people who are better than her.

As they were talking, they had already entered All Saints' College.

"your Highness?"

A voice was heard, and a young man just walked out of the academy.

Wu Mingkong nodded at him, "Fellow Daoist Ouyang."

The young man was quite handsome, with a smile on his face, giving people a warm and refreshing feeling.

His cultivation is not low either. He has reached the third level of refining and transformation. His aura is strong and he probably has accumulated a lot of experience.

He walked over and glanced at An Lang and Zhou Qing. Wu Mingkong took the initiative to introduce them:
"Zhou Qing, Fellow Daoist Zhou, a disciple of Xuandu Temple, you should have heard of him."

"Ouyang Ruomu, a disciple of the academy, Fellow Daoist Ouyang is also about to enter the reincarnation spring this time, and we will act together then."

"Of course I've heard of him. The name of Xuandu Exiled Immortal is well-known."

Ouyang Rumu looked at Zhou Qing and was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to meet Zhou Qing, who was very famous among some disciples of the academy.

Zhou Qing's heart also moved. Being able to obtain a place to enter the Fountain of Reincarnation, Ouyang Rumu must be extraordinary in the Academy of All Saints, both in terms of talent and background.

The two of them greeted each other, and Ouyang Ruomu said with a smile:

"Princess, Fellow Daoist Zhou, the Reincarnation Spring will be opened in two days. Have you received the news?"

"I have learned about it."

"That's good. I have something else to do now, so I'll leave first. See you in two days."

This genius from the academy did not stay long and left very decisively. He did not show any hostility towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing didn't take his place in the Reincarnation Fountain, so he had no reason to have any problem with Zhou Qing.

And Ouyang Rumu wanted to go outside the academy so late at night, which meant he had something to do, and it was normal for him to be in a hurry.

Taking his eyes off the disappearing Ouyang Rumu, Wu Mingkong told Zhou Qing about this person's situation.

"This Ouyang Ruomu has an extraordinary background. He is a direct descendant of the Ouyang family, a first-class family in the Central Plains. He is also a disciple of a vice-president of the academy. He is quite talented in righteousness and is an upright person. He has a good reputation in the academy."

Zhou Qing nodded, "He does look like a Taoist friend that people like."

“But are the disciples of a first-rate family also so deeply bound to the All Saints Academy?”

Wu Mingkong replied: "The Ouyang family is a staunch supporter of my Wu family."

I see. No wonder they could thrive in Middle-earth.

This time when Zhou Qing entered the Academy of All Saints with Wu Mingkong, he had a completely different experience from when he left during the day.

When he left during the day, almost no one recognized him. When they met him, they would just nod and then leave.

But now that she was traveling with Wu Mingkong, the difference was huge. Most people she met would stop to salute and greet the princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

As a result, he also attracted a lot of attention.

Most of the princes and princesses of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would come to the academy to study for a few years, and Wu Mingkong also had such an experience.

With her talent, status and appearance, she stands out wherever she goes. She is very popular and many people know her.

After walking all the way, we finally arrived at the courtyard where Zhou Qing lived, and we no longer saw the enthusiastic disciples of the academy.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou lives here?"

"Correct."

"It's a good place. This place is specially provided by the academy for distinguished guests."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It seems that I have borrowed some of the light from Xuandu Temple."

Wu Mingkong withdrew his gaze from the yard and said:

"Mingkong, I won't disturb you for now. I still have to go meet the elders of the academy. I'll come visit you later when I have time."

"Business is more important, Princess, you can go on your own."

Wu Mingkong left and Zhou Qing went straight into the yard.

After entering, An Lang immediately sighed.

"Sir, I didn't expect that we have such a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Why, you have a crush on her?"

"of course."

An Lang nodded without hesitation, "After all, she helped my sister and the others, and she once fought side by side with you, young master."

"And this princess is a very nice person, very approachable, and speaks very nicely. You can't tell that she's a royal princess at all!"

"Yeah, you're right."

Zhou Qing couldn't refute An Lang's words either.

The last time he met Wu Mingkong in the form of a phoenix, she was still a little cold, but this time when they met again, Wu Mingkong was much calmer.

If you didn't know her identity in advance, then just based on this communication with her, you would not be able to tell that she was a princess.

The elites of the royal family cannot be fools, and their behavior must be impeccable.

But then again, who can be superior to Zhou Qing now?
It is normal for Wu Mingkong to be approachable.

Zhou Qing's status is no worse than that of any princess or prince with extraordinary talents.

On the other side, Wu Mingkong went directly to see Dean Wen.

"teacher."

After entering the academy, the princes and princesses all regarded the dean as their teacher, but he was called a teacher, not a master. The difference between the two titles was obvious.

Unless the dean formally accepts someone as a disciple, then he can be called a master.

"Mingkong is here, sit down."

"I came to you suddenly today because I have something to tell you."

Wu Mingkong said seriously: "Teacher, please speak."

"Xuan Du Temple disciple Zhou Qing arrived at the academy today."

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned. Why were they talking about Zhou Qing again?
"You may not know that Zhou Qing cultivated the Haoran Qi by himself. He is truly a genius in the Haoran Qi field that is hard to come by in a thousand years."

Wu Mingkong was shocked. So terrifying?
Dean Wen continued, "I have consulted my great-grandfather and decided to win over Zhou Qing. It would be best if he could join the academy. This requires the cooperation of the royal family. I will discuss it with His Majesty, but I also need your help in this matter."

"You and Zhou Qing are both young people. You will go to the Reincarnation Spring together in two days. The academy hopes that if you have the opportunity, you can get to know Zhou Qing and see if there is a chance to help the academy win him over."

"Of course, you don't need to do anything extra. Just communicate with him normally. Don't be deliberate. Let it go naturally. If it doesn't work, that's fine."

"It's more the college's job to win him over, and you need to protect him from troubles from young people. After all, you know that his situation is special and it's inevitable that he will attract hostility from some people."

Dean Wen did not expect to rely on Wu Mingkong to win over Zhou Qing. Ultimately, this matter still depended on Mingsheng and the master of Xuandu Temple.

But Wu Mingkong’s role is also not small.

With her identity, as long as she appears next to Zhou Qing, she can help Zhou Qing avoid most of the troubles.

Although Dean Wen has already talked to those people in the academy who might come into conflict with Zhou Qing, sometimes accidents cannot be prevented.

Therefore, letting Wu Mingkong come forward can also provide an extra layer of insurance.

I don't ask others to contribute to this matter, but I also don't want them to hold me back.

Seeing Wu Mingkong was silent, Dean Wen asked:

"Mingkong, don't you want to do this? If you don't want to, that's fine, I can find someone else."

The first one to be found was Wu Mingkong because her talent was the best in this generation of the royal family, and she was also the sister of the current emperor, so her presence would have the best effect.

But if she doesn't want to, then it's fine to find the princes and princesses who are second only to her. It won't make much difference.

"No."

Wu Mingkong said, "It's just that Zhou Qing that the teacher mentioned, I have known him for more than a year, and I just met him."

"Ok?"

Dean Wen's eyes lit up. Old acquaintance?
Elaborate!

"Is such that……"

Wu Mingkong talked about her relationship with Zhou Qing, and Dean Wen nodded continuously.

Surprise, what a surprise.

Whether it is the experience of Zhou Qing and Wu Mingkong, or the cause and effect on An Lang's side, at this time when Zhou Qing and the Academy of All Saints do not have much intersection, they are undoubtedly opportunities. This is at least a connection.

Starting from these two aspects is always better than starting from scratch.

As for sending Wu Mingkong to perform the beauty trap, Dean Wen had never thought about it.

In the eyes of Dean Wen, he is a man of great talent and wisdom, a banished immortal from Xuandu.

How could one be seduced by beauty?

Zhou Qing definitely won't fall for this.
