Although it was late at night, the Honglu Temple was still brightly lit, with maids coming and going, busy with various tasks.
"Thank you for showing me the way, young master..."
"It's nothing..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now..."
Jiang Che shook his head, greeted the two women, and then turned and left without leaving anything behind for a short while.
Today's encounter with Shao Siyuan and A Yao was purely accidental. It's enough to show my face to the two women for now; the rest can be arranged later.
"Xiao Yuan, is he the destined one you've been searching for?"
Watching Jiang Che's figure gradually disappear into the night, until it completely vanished, A Yao withdrew her gaze and turned to Shao Siyuan beside her, asking curiously.
"That's right..."
"He is the destined one I told you about before!"
Shao Siyuan nodded gently, her eyes smiling, looking quite pleased with herself.
Today's chance encounter with Jiang Che has made her completely believe in the fate between them, and she is increasingly looking forward to what is to come.
After listening to Shao Siyuan's explanation, A Yao seemed to understand something. She stretched out her delicate white hand and stroked her chin.
So, will Xiaoyuan end up with this man named Jiang Che?
She herself had a pretty good first impression of Jiang Che.
It's getting late...
"Let's check into the Honglu Temple first..."
"I have a feeling we'll meet again when the International Lantern Festival opens in three days..."
Shao Siyuan didn't explain anything further. He took A Yao's little hand and headed straight for the main hall of the Honglu Temple.
After confirming the invitation, led by a maid, Shao Siyuan and Ayao were taken to a secluded villa in the backyard of the Honglu Temple.
Coincidentally, the villa where the two stayed was not far from the villas of Xi Shi, Ji Xiaoman, and Zhong Wuyan, about ten miles away.

"System, refresh the entries..."
Bathed in moonlight, Jiang Che strolled leisurely on his way back to Qingyun Manor, idly observing the surrounding scenery and communicating with the system in his mind.
Before breaking through his cultivation level, Jiang Che had already received a system notification saying that the time had come to refresh the entries.
However, Jiang Che was busy breaking through his cultivation level at the time, so he did not choose to refresh the entry immediately.
"Ding, refresh successful..."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the special entry [Buddha's Palm] (Purple)."
【Buddha's Palm: A supreme palm technique evolved from Buddhist supernatural powers, capable of transforming three thousand realms with a single palm strike, and annihilating the world with a single blow…】
"So stupid?"
Jiang Che was genuinely surprised when he saw the brief introduction to the Tathagata Palm.
Can one palm transform three thousand realms, and one palm annihilate the world?
This Tathagata Palm is no less powerful than the Taiyi Sword Technique I obtained before!
Jiang Che currently focuses on sword techniques and magic, and has not practiced any supernatural abilities such as palm techniques or fist techniques.
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're sleepy; this dog system is as considerate as ever!
After the initiation of the Tathagata Palm technique ended, Jiang Che suddenly felt that many introductions about the Tathagata Palm had appeared in his mind.
With his current cultivation level, he could easily complete the initiation of supernatural power terms in an instant, without any difficulty.
Jiang Che subconsciously opened his palm, and a golden swastika symbol appeared in his palm. A faint Buddhist light also emanated from Jiang Che's body.
Jiang Che's entire demeanor changed, filled with an aura of compassion and empathy. If you ignored his long, black hair, you could easily mistake him for a highly accomplished monk.
After the initiation of supernatural powers, not only did Jiang Che gain various techniques of the Tathagata Palm, but he also gained many insights into Buddhism.
The voice of the Great Dao resonated clearly in his mind like a resounding bell.
Now, he could sit down and discuss the Tao with a highly accomplished monk or Zen master without feeling intimidated.
Jiang Che had a premonition that if he really unleashed this palm strike, the area within a thousand miles would be barren and littered with corpses.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more powerful the Tathagata Palm becomes.
Of course, that would have to be outside Chang'an City. Inside Chang'an City, there are various formations and demonic mechanisms, and with his current Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he is not yet capable of breaking these formations.
Buddhism is the Tao, and Jiang Che had no aversion to cultivating Buddhist supernatural powers; he wasn't that pedantic.
After all, it's not like practicing Buddhism requires becoming a monk or nun. Doesn't Shaolin Temple still have many Buddhist disciples?
At that moment, Jiang Che suddenly remembered someone: Jin Chanzi, the Grand Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty, or perhaps Chen Xuanzang.
Although this world lacks the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Heavenly Court and the Six Emperors, and the Western Buddhist Kingdom, characters like Jin Chanzi, Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie still exist.
Moreover, Jin Chanzi should be in Chang'an City right now, having been appointed as the Imperial Preceptor by the Empress, holding a prestigious position and possessing divine cultivation.
Unlike Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West, Jin Chanzi in the King of Glory world is not a weak mortal. On the contrary, he is a cultivator who has achieved great success in his cultivation. He is no less capable than Sikong Zhen of the Yuheng Division and is also one of the pillars of the Tang Dynasty.
Jin Chanzi was very famous in Chang'an. Like Sikong Zhen and Di Renjie, he was a household name and a great monk of his generation.
However, he lived a secluded life, studying Buddhism at Jinshan Temple, and rarely appeared in public.
When the International Lantern Festival is held, I might even be able to see this enlightened monk in the Golden Palace.
"System, open my entry panel..."
Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Jiang Che directly communicated with the system in his mind.
[Host: Jiang Che]
[Cultivation Level: Early Nascent Soul Stage]

(Entry level: white, green, blue, cyan, red, purple, gold)
..............................
After checking his current attribute panel, Jiang Che smiled slightly, feeling great.
Although his cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, which wasn't very high, he possessed a considerable number of supernatural abilities, techniques, and innate talents.
If he were to fight an enemy, with the various divine sword techniques he has mastered, plus the Taiyi Sword Art and the Tathagata Palm, he could easily fight against enemies of higher levels.
After all, both the Taiyi Sword Technique and the Tathagata Palm are special terms evolved from supernatural powers, which have long surpassed the limits of martial arts techniques in this world.
Jiang Che leisurely headed towards Qingyun Manor. When he reached a secluded corner, he suddenly stopped and looked at the scene unfolding not far away with a strange expression.
Several drunkards were seen rubbing their hands together, eager to make a move on a slender young woman in a pink dress.
The burly man at the head of the group had a lewd glint in his eyes and a greedy look on his face as he smirked.
"Hey hey hey..."
"Little beauty, why don't you just give in to your brother?"
"Brother will take you flying tonight!"
"I guarantee you'll feel like you're in heaven!"
As the burly man rambled on drunkenly, he impatiently reached out his lewd hand, trying to grab the girl in the pink dress.
The girl was terrified, her face pale and filled with tears. She lifted her skirt and kept backing away, her face streaked with tears, a pitiful sight.
Soon, the girl in the pink dress was forced into a corner with nowhere to retreat.
The girl's face was filled with despair, her heart was ashen, and she sobbed softly, looking pitiful, as if she had given up all resistance.
But a casual glance back revealed a figure that had appeared at the intersection. The girl, as if grasping at a last straw, cried out for help.
"Please, young master, save my life..."
"This humble woman is willing to serve as your servant to repay your kindness, sir!"
Upon hearing this, several drunken burly men also looked in the direction where Jiang Che was.
The burly man at the head of the group glared and spoke menacingly.
"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
"Everyone gets a share. If you know what's good for you, I'll let you have your turn after I'm done!"
Jiang Che frowned slightly and casually waved his hand. Several burly men were sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow, crashing into the wall not far away. Before they could say a word, they were dead.
Jiang Che's cultivation has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he only unleashes one ten-thousandth of his power, it is something that these ordinary people simply cannot withstand.
With his current level of cultivation, his control over power has long reached a level of meticulousness, so he did not deliberately make too much noise. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
After dealing with the drunkards, Jiang Che's gaze fell on the pretty girl who was still sobbing not far away, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The young girl wore a long pink dress, her figure light and graceful, with a slender waist and full hips, all captivatingly beautiful.
· ·····Requesting flowers· ··
Her features were exquisite, her skin was snow-white, and her eyebrows, like distant mountains, lay horizontally above her eyes, which were deep and bright, as if they held a thousand stars.
Her nose was delicate and straight, her lips were like cherries, her skin was as white as snow and had a warm glow, and her oval face was flawless, like a work of art carefully sculpted by God, without even the slightest flaw.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, on the verge of sobbing. She gently raised her delicate hand, her face veiled by a pink gauze, and softly sobbed. She was a sight to behold, one that evoked pity in me.
This expression was enough to arouse any man's protective instincts, making him want to take care of her. However, Jiang Che remained unmoved, his expression not changing much, probably because he had already recognized the identity of the girl in front of him.
Diao Chan, the most beautiful woman in Wei capital, was a scout under Cao Cao!
Although he didn't sense any magical fluctuations from Diao Chan, looking at her stunningly beautiful face, which was ninety percent similar to a certain game from his previous life, Jiang Che was absolutely certain that the woman in front of him was Diao Chan!
Like Lan, Diaochan was also a great weapon in Cao Cao's hands. Lu Bu, the former number one war god in the Three Kingdoms, fell into the beauty trap under the seduction of this woman and died with resentment.
Jiang Che had already guessed Diao Chan's plan when he saw her appear on his way home.
Concealing their cultivation level, attempting to slip through the cracks, and then keeping them by their side to wait for an opportunity to strike?
It's clear that Cao Cao truly hated him to the core!
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Diao Chan to travel all the way to Chang'an just to use her beauty to seduce him and then seize the Hu Jia zither from Cai Wenji.
