“The concealing spell on her body was cast by a deity with the position of a true god, using divine power.”
Although somewhat regretful, Xu Chengxian also knew that 100 refinement points weren't so easy to obtain, so his mentality was still stable. He turned to Pan Cishi and the others and said, “Therefore, ordinary cultivators can't see through her details.”
The ordinary cultivators he referred to were those with cultivation below the Foundation Establishment stage.
“I see. Thank you, Daoist Xu, for informing us.” Pan Ziyu nodded in response.
She didn't know what standard Xu Chengxian used to determine insufficient cultivation, but she knew that the other party was also a protector of a deity with an official position.
Therefore, he could see through the true form of this 'Pan Mengdie'.
“Daoist Xu, can you be certain?” Pan Cishi frowned even more upon hearing this.
If a true god in charge of the world gave 'Pan Mengdie' a concealing spell, the meaning behind it would be intriguing.
Having become a Cishi before the age of forty, he had previously served as a people-loving official in many places, and had even had the good fortune to interact with the local Earth Gods of Fortune several times.
However, these true gods, especially those stationed in the mortal realm, had to accumulate merit to enjoy the incense offerings of mortals and fulfill their duties. Therefore, if they encountered unjust and ugly events, they would secretly help the wronged.
He had heard two rumors.
One was pointing out a clear path for the aggrieved to seek justice.
The other was inviting the soul of a noble to the temple, allowing the wronged person to present their case in person.
“In that case, wouldn't it mean… that this aunt 'Pan Mengdie' who suddenly came to our door is really the victim of a secret plot?” Pan Anshou thought. If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
“Of course.” Xu Chengxian nodded.
How could he not recognize it?
The divine light carried the aura of the power of ten thousand people's incense wishes.
He was too familiar with this aura.
Now, even his main body burped with this taste.
At the same time, he also heard what Pan Anshou was thinking in his heart, and couldn't help but smile secretly. It seemed that, regardless of anything else, most of what this 'Pan Mengdie' had just said was true.
Especially regarding why Pan Cishi was so worried, evasive, and dared not bring back the other 'Pan Mengdie' for a confrontation.
Because the identity of that 'Pan Mengdie' was no longer just Pan's aunt, but also the mistress of the Bai family.
The Bai family of Xuzhou.
There were many aristocratic families in Lingzhou City, and the three strongest were on par.
But in Xuzhou, the Bai family was the only dominant force.
Regardless of how prominent the status, strength, and reputation of these aristocratic families of the Great Zhou were, they had to show the Bai family three points of respect when they arrived in Xuzhou.
The reason had already been mentioned by 'Pan Mengdie' earlier.
They had a good ancestor.
Who would risk offending a powerful being with immense magical power to plot for some worldly wealth?
The most terrifying thing about a Nascent Soul stage ancestor was their long lifespan.
They might not care about their descendants.
But would you dare to gamble?
Even if you bullied a family like the Bai family, and there was no immediate retaliation, would you dare to gamble that someone wouldn't come to your door in a hundred or a thousand years and exterminate your entire clan?
Families with the ability to swallow the Bai family's property would not be willing to gamble.
Xu Chengxian almost immediately understood what these people were thinking.
What they sought was the prosperity of the family and the longevity of the bloodline, but leaving themselves a VVVIP ticket for a special discount and no waiting at the gate of hell? You'd have to be pretty sick to do that, right?
Also, you have to know that 99% of the cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage have sects and forces behind them.
Even if the Nascent Soul ancestor doesn't come, if they send a disciple or follower back to take a look, this special ticket can still take effect. Are you afraid or not!
To put it another way, if they were really a rogue cultivator who made it to the Nascent Soul stage all the way, that would be even more terrifying!
Therefore, when this matter involved the Bai family, Pan Anshou's hesitation and difficulty seemed extremely normal.
What's more, 'Pan Mengdie' and the son of the Bai family's head also had an unusual marriage agreement.
“This 'Pan Mengdie' keeps saying that the other one is a bitch. If Old Pan dares to call her home, wouldn't the two of them stab each other?”
Xu Chengxian clicked his tongue and thought to himself, “Even if they don't stab each other, as long as he sends someone to call her back, she will definitely be very angry and even hate him when she knows the whole story.”
The personality of that 'Pan Mengdie', you don't even need to think about it to know that it must be similar to the one in front of you.
Otherwise, the Pan family would have noticed something was wrong long ago.
The identity of the mistress of the Bai family is also one of the top women in Xuzhou.
Over the years, she will have become even more difficult to deal with.
Think about it, a woman who looks exactly like her, from who knows where, comes to her maternal home and insists that she is a fake Pan Mengdie, and that she is the real Pan Mengdie, and her good grand-nephew actually sends someone to call her back for a confrontation.
If that happened to her, could she stand it?
Proving innocence?
That's what the weaker party would do.
“Anyone with a brain, that Pan Mengdie would immediately take people out of the Cishi's mansion and return to the Bai family without stopping, and then, as an elder, order Pan Shouan to give her a satisfactory explanation.”
That's right, she's still an elder.
Grand-aunt, that's the real grand-aunt.
Can't afford to offend her.
If Pan Anshou was a little more ruthless, he could directly kill this one who came to the door and pretend nothing happened.
“No, that’s not right.”
Xu Chengxian thought of this and couldn't help but look at Pan Cishi again.
Old Pan hadn't thought about killing this 'Pan Mengdie'.
He had some concerns.
He was afraid that there were still people behind 'Pan Mengdie'.
It was very troublesome to be caught for murdering someone, and it would be even more troublesome to kill his own aunt.
Confining her in the Cishi's mansion, treating her well with good food and drink, and slowly probing her origins and purpose was obviously more stable.
“Old Pan, how about I help you ask which true god cast the concealing spell on her, how about it?”
Seeing that Pan Anshou was silent, the other members of the Pan family were frowning, and the Pan Mengdie, who didn't know whether she was real or fake, was looking at him with a mocking expression, Xu Chengxian couldn't help but speak.
Really, why are you looking at this Daoist so much?
Regardless of whether you are the real Pan Mengdie or not, whatever grievances you have suffered were not caused by us.
We haven't offended her either.
At most, we are just revealing the truth.
Is there something wrong with revealing the truth?
Having been a snake for many years, Xu Chengxian, whose main body was wrapped around his waist, didn't have so much empathy. Standing from the perspective of an observer, he felt that this kind of mockery was a variant of some kind of moral kidnapping.
Therefore, he decided to fight back.
“Okay, thank you…” Pan Anshou was stunned and was about to thank him.
“There's no need to trouble Daoist Xu.” Pan Mengdie laughed and interrupted him, saying, “The one who helped me was the Yue Lao Temple in the East City…”
“Impossible!”
