“Run away?” Senior Gem Emperor was stunned for a moment, “Are you kidding me?”

While speaking, she waved her hand and cleared all the people from the scene.

“You're not kidding, aren't you?”

In the past ten years, whether willing or not, Senior Gem Emperor had become one of the people who knew Wang Lu the best in the world. Although most of Wang Lu's words seemed absurd and uninhibited, sometimes, when he made a joke, it was actually serious.

As for the whereabouts of Bai Ze and Xuan Mo, Wang Lu seemed to be serious.

“I hope it's a joke, but I'm afraid it's not that simple.” When he talked about this topic, Wang Lu appeared to be somewhat dissatisfied. He said, “Actually, you ought to be the one most aware of this matter. But because you have to bear considerable responsibility as the leader of the Earth Immortals, you are indeed somewhat unqualified.”

Senior Gem Emperor was a bit depressed, “Yes, I'm not really a qualified leader. Otherwise, Sun Buping wouldn't have been able to get to the top position in those years. Before he succeeded in mastering his skills, I took the initiative to make ways for him… But what do Xuan Mo and Bai Ze have to do with me?”

Wang Lu looked at Senior Gem Emperor and pondered for a moment, and then said, “For the sake of our so many years of special training, do you mind if I tell you the truth?”

Senior Gem Emperor impatiently said, “Just say it!”

Wang Lu was silent for a moment. He restrained himself and tried not to show his disdain, and then said, “Do you know that Xuan Mo has always like Sun Buping?”

“What?” Senior Gem Emperor's eyes widened and showed a befuddled look as she said, “What did you say?”

“… Sure enough you don't know about it. I knew that with your poor EQ, you were completely blind about this.”

“What are you trying to say here? Make it clear!” Senior Gem Emperor was annoyed that she was personally attacked. She angrily said, “How can I be blind about this? By the way, what is this EQ thing?”

“Modern words generally refer to the ability of interpersonal communication. If you find that you have no friends, you know that your EQ is not that high… In short, Xuan Mo once has a crush on Sun Buping, but because Sun Buping already has you as his wife, she had to hide her feelings in her heart. I'm afraid that you, as one of the concerned parties, knew nothing about all this.”

Senior Gem Emperor recalled very hard from her memory about this and then embarrassedly said, “I… Didn't know. Nobody told me about it.”

“Who dared to tell you?” Wang Lu shook his head and said ,”In short, Xuan Mo's secret love for Sun Buping was not reciprocated and thus it laid a hidden danger for the present elopement.”

“Wait, I don't understand. Since she liked Sun Buping, why would she run away with Bai Ze? That doesn't make sense!” Senior Gem Emperor said, and then asked again, “Or is there a certain connection between these two things but that I don't understand?”

Wang Lu said, “Of course it's not necessarily connected. There are many coincidences that can cause all this. But, the biggest reason is the emotional transfer and self abandonment. She secretly loved Sun Buping, but she dared not tell it. The biggest reason lies in you. Although your EQ is lower, your brilliance is too dazzling.”

“Wait, I have always acted in low-key.”

“A girl in love is very sensitive. Of course, she knew how much better you are than her. In any aspect, she has no confidence in overcoming you. So, she can't even raise hostility with you. However, correspondingly, the sorrow in her heart continued to accumulate. She not only hated her incompetence, but also resented Sun Buping's incomprehensible amorous feelings. In fact, Sun Buping should've had a lot of confidantes, right?”

Senior Gem Emperor was puzzled, “What kind of confidant?”

“… Sure enough, after seeing you, those confidants were scattered like birds and beasts. However, this was obviously not the right way to deal with it. No wonder that Xuan Mo has had a lump in her heart for ten thousand years. Moreover, it brewed out the schizophrenic symptoms in the form of heavenly earth and primordial purgatory… In short, Xuan Mo's feeling for Sun Buping somewhat changed from love to hate, and that resulted in self abandonment.”

“And then?” Senior Gem Emperor grew more and more impatient and said, “You're going around and around, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“Based on these two reasons, she gradually fell in love with Bai Ze.” Wang Lu then went straight to the point, “Bai Ze's position in the team at that time, should be regarded as the most unflattering one. Although his strength was still first class, he was just like a mad dog and thus definitely incurred resentment from the public, right?”

“That shit? Humph, if Sun Buping hadn't stopped me, I would've killed him.”

“Yeah? Bai Ze assumed the worst and lowest role, but he often accompanied Sun Buping. Then when Xuan Mo abandoned herself, she chose Baize as the object of her secret love, which was reasonable.”

“… Where's the logic in that?”

“There are similar cases. For example, there is a certain small country's prince who has an affair, so to retaliate, his consort immediately looked for a beggar and did all kinds of things that she wanted to try but had no chance to. In the end, she gave birth to a son… Xuan Mo now is in such a state of mind. Tsk, the so-called human feelings are so unpredictable.”

“So, is this the so-called EQ?” Senior Gem Emperor was really shocked and said, “Then I would rather not have EQ!”

“Well said, truly worthy of being my kindred spirit in these ten years of practice.” Wang Lu said and, from out of nowhere, brought out two glasses of wine. “Cheers?”

“… Don't change the topic. Now I know why Xuan Mo is with Bai Ze, but this is not the reason to leave the team at random and refuse to accept management!”

Wang Lu nodded and said, “Yes, rules are rules, after all. But I personally suggest that the punishment for them should be postponed.”

Senior Gem Emperor asked, “Why? Strictly enforce the rules and regulation. Isn't that what you used to say?”

Wang Lu narrowed his eyes and said, “That's the original words I asked you to tell the Earth Immortals. They are used to restrain these superb individuals. But they are not used to restrain me as the first person in Nine Regions. Any rules and regulations are invalid to the rule makers. You should understand this truth, right? Anyway, you're also the leader of the Earth Immortals.”

Senior Gem Emperor was very discontented and hummed, “There's no such thing in my leadership.”

“That's why you are not qualified to be a leader… In short, I have a reason for this. Bai Ze did not want to be under my jurisdiction from the beginning, and considering that his existence was no longer necessary, I did not care about him. But Xuan Mo's situation is different. She turned away from the organization and went to Bai Ze alone. No matter what her reasons are, she must feel guilty in her heart. But at this time, if you rush to catch them back, the guilt will easily turn into anger. It's better to just wait until she's overwhelmed by guilt and come back crying and beg for forgiveness.”

“Um, will it be that easy?”

“Of course, she eloped with Bai Ze out of desperation, but this emotion will not last for a long time. After all, a good match for a princess is a prince, not a beggar. It may be fun to have a lot of fun for a while, but when it's over, people always have to continue on with life. What can she do with Bai Ze? What can Bai Ze give her? When the excitement is over, she will come back. At that time, the guilt will break out completely and she will be easy to mold. When we tell them to go east, she will not go west, wouldn't that be great?”

After she heard all of these, Senior Gem Emperor felt that her brain couldn't keep up with him. She said, “All these calculations of yours, are they also part of the so-called EQ?”

“You can say that.”

“Huh, it seems that you really are amazing. Even Sun Buping couldn't straighten out these messy things at that time. Although I didn't quite understand why, I often saw his expression of distress. It was very rare for him, because Sun Ping was not so distressed even in the most desperate time of the war… ”

Wang Lu shrugged and said, “I don't want to be like this actually. It's better to be young and carefree like you. But after experiencing a lot of things, it is what it is.”

“You've been through a lot? You're not even sixty years old, right? With regard to your cultivation base, you're still a baby.”

Wang Lu said with a smile, “Sixty? You underestimate me too much. Though I can't compare with you people who have been living for thousands of years, if we combine my previous life and this and all that's in between, it can easily reach hundreds of years. Especially when for a period of time I was on side trips, travelling to many worlds increased my experience. Things about males and females, I have seen a lot of them. I remember once I met a femme fatale who didn't pay attention to all the men in the world. Her EQ and abilities were far higher than you. Me and her… alas, forget about it. In short, I suggest that the matter regarding Xuan Mo and Bai Ze should be put aside for a while. When they come back, that's when we'll calculate everything.”

“… Do you think this is enough?”

Wang Lu nodded and said, “Yes, that's enough.”

Senior Gem Emperor looked at Wang Lu deeply and said, “By the way, elopement is just your speculation…”

“I decided to believe my speculation. Well, is there anything else? My routine inspection is not over yet.”

Senior Gem Emperor shook her head and said, “Just do whatever you want.”

However, after Senior Gem Emperor left, Wang Lu's expression immediately sank. He took a round mirror from his mustard seed bag and spoke softly.

“Kong Zhang, are you there?”

A moment later, the rigid face of a Shengjing Sect cultivator appeared on the round mirror.

“What can I do for you?”

“I want you to check these two people for me.” Wang Lu said and lifted his hand in the air to draw a three-dimensional head of Xuan Mo and Bai Ze.

“Xuan Mo? Bai Ze? Aren't they from the Earth Immortal camp?” Kong Zhang frowned and said, “This is not within my jurisdiction.”

“It's okay, I'll give you a temporary authorization. I can't believe the people in the Earth Immortal camp, so I can only ask you. It may not be something important. Basically, it should just be a couple running away together, but other possibilities can't be ruled out. In short, try to keep an eye on them and report any changes in time. If it's just a common elopement, find a chance to take a few intimate pictures so as to avoid them becoming hostile when they come back.”

“Understood.”

Then the round mirror dimmed, and Wang Lu sighed and crushed the mirror.

According to his status at this time, he ought to be able to tell the world to obey everything, but after all, Shengjing Sect was the strongest sect in Nine Regions, and their resources were not so easy to mobilize. With Wang Lu's present position, it was difficult to skip over Daoist Hetu and contact Kong Zhang directly. The round mirror just now was a ‘discard after one use' item. But after all, this was about the Earth Immortals, so he didn't think that it was wasteful.

“If there's no result in the next seven days, it's best if the two of you really elope for real and not make any trouble.”

Meanwhile, at Mount Qi in the Central Region, a young girl dropped her raised arm.

“This covering the sky thing can actually become this strenuous. After ten years of staying indoor, my skills have actually regressed a lot… But, to be able to read so many books, I think it's worth it!”
