Chapter 164 — The Holy Lady

How could the people of the world still be in his eyes? " Shen Mu clicked his tongue in amazement. This again had to do with Granny Zhu. Back then, Sect Master Fan Xuanshu must have been bewitched body and soul by Granny Zhu, and so missed this world-shaking reform.

By comparison, neither the Daoist school nor the Great Thunderclap Temple could easily adapt to the Imperial Preceptor of Jingping's reforms.

Though they were holy lands of the orthodox path and the Buddhist path, they followed the model of a master guiding disciples, and one master taught only a few disciples.

The Youmo Cult, however, could absolutely establish several primary schools and universities within the cult. As for the imperial academy level. .

. "For the imperial academy level, we can send them to study at the Imperial Academy. " Shen Mu calculated.

"Select the most outstanding disciples from our cult, then have them take the Imperial Academy's great examination, and let the Imperial Academy help us cultivate them. In this way, it would be hard for the Heavenly Holy Cult not to flourish! " The Young Patriarch glanced at him and sighed.

"I regret that you could not have been born forty years earlier.

" He led Shen Mu into the city. The streets were thronged with people coming and going, and Shen Mu could not help but wonder, "Is the Heavenly Holy Cult's headquarters really located in the city?

Is that not a little too conspicuous? " When the people saw the Young Patriarch and Shen Mu, they rose one after another to salute. Shen Mu returned the salutes.

The Young Patriarch nodded slightly. "Is everyone here? " A Cult-Protecting Elder said, "The Sect Master's widow and the Holy Maiden have not yet arrived, and among the Cult-Guarding Heavenly Kings, the Qian Heavenly King has still not returned. " The Young Patriarch nodded.

"In that case, we will wait a while longer. " Before long, a sweet, alluring voice came: "Have Shen'er and the Patriarch arrived?

" Even the Young Patriarch felt his heart stir.

His expression shifted slightly, and he shouted, "Si Youyou, conduct yourself with dignity! " From outside the door came Granny Zhu's voice. "How dull. " The Young Patriarch flew out the door and rushed outside, his voice carrying back: "Who told you to show your true face?

If you show your true appearance, you will throw this enthronement ceremony into utter chaos. .

. Of course, make yourself as ugly as possible. .

.

That child you raised is about to become Sect Master, and you want him to be bewitched by you too.

. .

That is more like it.

Come in. " Shen Mu let out a breath of relief, and everyone in the City Lord's mansion also let out a breath.

Several white-haired elders and Cult-Guarding Heavenly Kings wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and steadied themselves. Outside the door, the Young Patriarch and Granny Zhu came in.

The little old woman still seemed somewhat displeased; she glanced around and, catching sight of Shen Mu, broke into a smile.

"Granny! " Shen Mu hurried forward, took Granny Zhu's hand, and said with a low laugh, "Granny, I know you are at the Imperial Academy. You did not even change your surname. . . " Granny Zhu looked puzzled.

"I did not go to the Imperial Academy; I only observed you from afar. Besides, with the Patriarch at the Imperial Academy, I do not worry at all about your safety. " Shen Mu laughed.

"Granny, still pretending? I have already seen through you. You are the Si.

.

. at the Imperial Academy. .

. " "The Holy Maiden has arrived! " a ringing voice suddenly announced.

Shen Mu was just about to say Si Yunxiang's name when he suddenly saw Si Yunxiang walk in through the door. Granny Zhu's voice came to his ear: "The Holy Maiden and the Sect Master were classmates, you know.

They entered the Imperial Academy at the same time.

"
