"What was that?" Zhuan i mumbled under her breath as she could feel a sense of deja vu.
A few seconds ago, she felt that she was being observed by soone, and from what she felt, it was probably the Sacred Sakura Goddess.
"Why, why can’t I find any quest to hunt the evil seeds? It’s been since yesterday and there are no updates anymore?!" Bai Yuchen was pretty desperate because his farming ground couldn’t be found on the quest board anymore.
"Pardon , disciple. However, don’t you know about Her Divine Grace’s decree? We stopped the hunt yesterday. No more evil seed hunt quest in the anti." Ranee smoked her long smoking pipe, tapping the quest board.
"When I almost reached 10k rit points... why does it have to be now?" Bai Yuchen looked at the ground, slamming his hands onto the floor several tis.
"What is he doing?" Zhuan i pointed to the prostrating disciple.
"Who knows?" Ranee shrugged her shoulders and returned to her reception desk.
"..." Zhuan i glanced at the spider demoness and checked the quest board. She already felt used to being around demons in the Sacred Sakura Holy Land, and the quest house’s receptionist was the one she t the most.
Unlike in other sects, all living creatures in this holy land had to co-exist with each other, without exception. Everyone had to abide by the rules and live in harmony, especially in Sacred Mountain’s area.
Broadly speaking, Sacred Sakura was the only place that achieved true peace. The reason was simple... it was because Sacred Sakura was backed up by many powerful Goddesses, and also the only place connected to the Divine World.
’With so many Gods and Immortals around, why does nobody notice my true identity? Can’t they really recognize ?’ Zhuan i muttered in her mind.
She once t the Sacred Sakura Goddess and the Lord of Heaven, but they couldn’t recognize her true identity. Or rather, it was probably because she had yet to awaken her divine soul’s true aura. After all, the Gods and Immortals of Heaven recognized each other by their unique divine soul’s aura.
"Oho~, aren’t you Junior Sister Zhuan i? I haven’t had the chance to greet you before, but please accept my greetings." Bai Yuchen imdiately regained his composure and gave a polite greeting.
"No need to be polite, Senior Brother Bai." Zhuan i returned the greeting politely.
"Keke, please pardon , but may I know if you still play the double side?"
"What do you an?"
"You are the Qinlan Sect’s pri disciple and you have the Qinlan Sect’s Elder Zhao Yuqi as your master, but you are also registered as Sacred Sakura’s outer disciple. To be honest, I still can’t understand your intentions."
"This... isn’t that a problem? I passed the entrance test fairly, and Sacred Sakura never forbids the disciples from establishing multiple identities. As long as we abide by the rules. Also, all of our seniors have multiple identities, including you."
"I see... that makes sense. Then please pardon my rudeness."
"As long as you understand..."
Bai Yuchen apologized because he just realized this. He also has multiple identities, so he has had no reason to question his junior sister about anything.
Zhuan i also realized the aning between the lines. In the Sacred Sakura, no elders ever accepted any pri disciples under their banner. They either received pointers from each other or enlightennt from the Sacred Priestess Miko and other seniors.
"I’ll take this quest, Lady Ranee. Please proceed as usual." Lucius grabbed a quest paper from the harvest-type quest board and handed it over to the receptionist.
"A field trip with your beloved master and fellow mages as usual?" Ranee stamped the quest paper and registered it to the Sacred Sakura’s network.
"Shut up, but thanks." Lucius received the paper and raised his hand in farewell.
"Hey, dea... why is your mage apprentice so cold? But, yeah, he can say thanks now. Anyway, why have you only taken the harvest-type quests in the past few days?" Ranee sighed, conveying her complaints to the nearby earth mage.
"Fufu, what can we do? My party urgently needs elental fruits. We’ll co back tomorrow, see ya~" dea waved her hand at Ranee.
She then noticed Zhuan i on the hunt-type quest board. She nudged Lucius, but he ignored her gesture. Thus, she could only wink at Zhuan i.
Her apprentice and Zhuan i would look like a good match, but unfortunately, they were still in the cold war period after their quarrel over sothing several days ago. As a good matchmaker, she would make them reconcile as soon as possible, but everything would still take ti and process.
"Sigh, what’s wrong with him? Am I overly sensitive and unreasonable, or is it just him who is uncaring and cold? Should I smash a wooden block into his head so he’ll rember? He was so bad in the past, so isn’t that natural for to be a little petty to repay his wrongdoings?" Zhuan i mumbled under her breath.
Her history with the son of heaven could be considered bad, but he was still her destined one. While he was still unable to rember their past, it beca her best opportunity to get a little revenge while slowly helping him recover his mory of his past life. She only bullied him a little several days ago, but he beca unreasonably angry at her.
"Hmm, do you know that mage guy?"
"Yeah, we were on the sa team in the entrance test, but he’s getting really cold now."
"Hmm, sohow I can relate. I know soone like that as well. That unreasonable guy is really annoying."
"I know, right! Luckily, his master, Lady dea, is very understanding and kind."
Bai Yuchen then chatted happily with Zhuan i. The forr badmouthed his old friend, and the latter joined the heated topic to gossip about Lucius.
"Ah gossips. I can listen to this all day long~" Ranee rested her cheek on her palm, enjoying the young people’s gossip.

Elysia was still on her way to a particular city in the Human Realm, following clues from the Sacred Heaven Grimoire to find the reincarnation of the God of Painting’s location.
’The child of destiny is screwed, right?’ Elena recalled about it, but it was still so amusing.
The child of destiny embarked on their respective life stories, but so of them strayed from their intended destiny.
’Why is that? I know sothing about Yang Jian. He makes enemies everywhere. How many children of destiny have we encountered so far?’ Sylvia was intrigued.
’Let’s skip the others on the watch list for the mont, but these five people are pretty ssy. Bai Yuchen is still looking for his love at first sight, Elder Kitsune, then Zhuan i is involved in a love-hate relationship because she thought Lucius is her destined one, but Lucius only loves her master while dea only treats him as a little child. As for Chen Fan, he also has enemies everywhere, but he has a little harem and complicated family drama for himself. As for Yang Jian, you know... he fell head over heels for Miko~’ Elena covered her mouth as she almost laughed.
’Erm... we’re not affiliated with Chen Fan quite as much, and Lucius is the otherworld’s child of destiny, but Yang Jian, huh...’ Elysia held her head as she felt a bit dizzy.
Her avatar, Miko was currently on a field trip with Erina and Yuuki to the southern region. Blood Moon Saintess Mingyue was currently accompanying them, but she could see from Miko’s vision, that Yang Jian was there as a stalker, occasionally bothering Miko with various fake fated encounters.
’Hm, our destination is relatively close to Miko’s current location. What if we go to et them?’ Elena proposed an idea.
Elysia thought about it. Miko was currently being stalked by Yang Jian, and this creep asked for a beating for harassing her avatar. Even though he did it just to gain Miko’s attention, it had already entered the realm of being annoying. She should co as Miko’s mama and talk to him.
’Miko, we are aware of your problem. We’ll pick you up soon. Stay around that city for now.’ Elysia inford Miko about her arrival.
’Uh, okay. But, mama, I feel you are quite close... in the neighboring city, right? Should we co to you instead?’ Miko was pleasantly surprised.
’Alright then. Have you found what you were looking for there?’ Elysia didn’t object to the proposal.
’Mm, Erina has bought the rumored precious gem, and we were just about to go ho. But, you are here. So, please wait for us!’
’Alright. Let that guy stalk you to this town. Let test his motives.’
’Ehm, okay... he is beco pretty annoying now. I don’t know what I should do to him, mama.’
Miko readily complied with her mama’s arrangents. She whispered sothing to Erina and Yuuki regarding the change of plans, and they nodded in understanding.
"Minyue, let’s visit the neighboring town." Miko pointed east.
"That direction... that is Surnba Town. That place is renowned for its nightlife and ghost stories. Err... may I know what you want to see in that place?" Mingyue considered it twice as she was unable to guess Miko’s intention.
"I wish to see soone." Miko beckoned to Erina and Yuuki. They flew away using a big floating cloud, taking Mingyue with them too.
"Ugh, I guess it’ll be fine." Mingyue felt a bit restless. They went without escorts, and that town was pretty dangerous for young girls at night, but it was still morning.
"Soone who can make her want to visit him specifically? Who is this scumbag? He wants to steal my future wife, eh?" Yang Jian clenched his fist from a secluded alley. He looked up and hurried to follow Miko’s group secretly, maintaining the safe distance.
