Chapter 79
Before he left, Zong Ming He ordered Zong Zi Heng to stay in the palace to assist the emperor and empress together with his fifth brother, and to manage the affairs of Daming.

Zong Zi Heng did not expect that he would not be allowed to leave Daming yet. Perhaps, as Shen Shi Yao said, Zong Ming He was afraid of his friendship with Xu Zhi Nan and Qi Meng Sheng, or perhaps there were other reasons. In any case, he could feel Zong Ming He guarding against him since the Jiaolong assembly.

He could only agree on the surface, intending to wait for everyone to leave before sneaking out of the palace.

Zong Zi Xiao was very upset to learn that he was not going to Kunlun with him and wanted to go and beg Zong Ming He.

Zong Zi Heng immediately rushed to Bailu Pavilion and stopped him.

"Why can't big brother come with me? This trip can be as short as a month or two, or as long as ... who knows how long it will take, and I've never been separated from big brother for that long." Zong Zi Xiao wrinkled his face and said indignantly, "Father even let you assist the empress, who knows how the empress will make things difficult for you."

"You don't need to worry about me, you just need to protect yourself." Zong Zi Heng said worriedly. There was no telling what would happen on this journey, and he didn't know when he would be able to be by his brother's side, and Lu Zhao Feng, who was hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, would never miss this divine sword. He was really worried that something bad might happen to Xiao Jiu, and what will happen if he's not by his side.

"I'm with Father and many high ranking cultivators, so naturally I'm safe. I'm just worried about you. Let me go beg Father and we'll go together, okay?"

Zong Zi Heng shook his head, "Father won't agree. At this time, don't make trouble over nothing, just be obedient."

Zong Zi Xiao said disappointedly, "In fact, I'm still worried about my mother. With Father being away, the Empress will definitely take the opportunity to bully my mother. Big brother, you have to take care of her for me."

"Don't worry, I will." Thinking of Chu Ying Ruo, Zong Zi Heng had complicated feelings, but no matter what, she was Xiao Jiu's mother, and he was bound to protect her.

"You have to eat well, you can't lose any more weight."

Zong Zi Heng snorted, "Talking more and more like an adult. I got it."

Zong Zi Xiao stared at Zong Zi Heng's gentle and handsome face and his heart thumped, "I originally wanted to go to the Cangyu Sect with big brother to have a look."

"Big brother wants to go too. Next time then. Flying Plume Ambassador will welcome us."

"I heard that the Cangyu Sect is unique in how it cultivates immortality."

"Well, the Cangyu Sect is different from the Chinese sects, there are not so many rules and regulations, so it is unique."

"I heard that some of them do dual cultivation*." Zong Zi Xiao blinked, "And it's not restricted to men and women."

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Who else doesn't know?" Zong Zi Xiao stole a glance at Zong Zi Heng, "It's not uncommon for couples to engage in double cultivation behind closed doors, but for a sect like the Cangyu Sect to openly treat double cultivation as a monastic art, it's no wonder it's despised by the Chinese sects."

"As long as it doesn't harm anyone, I don't think we need to stick to the rules."

"I think so too." Zong Zi Xiao quickly said, "It's a good thing for those who practice the same lineage to improve at the same time."
