I Have A Dual World Seal

"You’re not born in a peaceful era, you’re just born in a peaceful country."

"The reason you can enjoy peace is because someone is bearing the burden for you."

These two almost overused phrases once again flooded the comment section.

Even though there’s a small group online advocating for "universal values" and the like.

Most ordinary folks still have basic awareness, knowing the world is far from achieving global harmony.

Compare the ruins in the Middle East, the warlord chaos in Africa, the rampant dangers in Southeast Asia, the ethnic tensions in Europe, and the status of the world’s number one Lighthouse Country...

You’ll know that in this world where things are almost getting worse, the wealthy can live well anywhere, but common people living in Hua Country, especially modern-day Hua Country, are indeed quite fortunate.

At least you don’t worry about being shot in the head when going out at night.

"Tears!"

"Hua Country is always well-protected by a few heroes."

"When it comes to national heroes and patriotic sentiment, who can surpass us in the world?"

"Let’s not discuss the big picture, don’t you think Sister Tao Ying is so beautiful and cool?"

"Love it, love it, love it..."

"Begging Sister Tao Ying to debut, nowadays there’s not a single good-looking female fighter on screen, Sister Tao Ying should teach them."

"Not just cutting scenes, but also slow motion, it’s exhausting to watch."

"Sister Tao Ying here almost exclusively uses long shots, which is too precious!"

"Reminds me of Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan."

"Heroic women!"

"Is there any movie crew with sharp eyes? There’s a hidden gem here!"

A bunch of passionate netizens tagged various film companies and big bosses across the platform, but most did not respond. The few that did respond were from small companies without much background, remotely tagging Tao Ying and inviting her to join.

Unfortunately, Shen Ying only looks at the comments section, never checking private messages or what others mention about her.

And what she’s watching now is a movie filmed over a decade ago, "Mu Guiying."

"Not finished yet?" Lu Zheng asked.

"No." Shen Ying half-lied on the sofa, eating chips, and casually placed her little feet in Lu Zheng’s lap.

Lu Zheng reached over, playing with her fair and smooth jade-like feet, intricate and flawless.

Playing absentmindedly, Lu Zheng said, "No wonder you made the Great Wall video like this, turns out you were watching this TV drama."

Shen Ying nodded, "It’s well-shot, the patriotic sentiment came through, but the action scenes aren’t great. Mu Guiying isn’t a professional, her fight scenes look fake."

Lu Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, "Of course they’re not professional, even among male actors, only a few are really skilled. Most use choreographed moves and cuts, they can’t actually fight..."

"And honestly, the action scenes in this show are already quite good, much better than the slow-motion and effects-laden fight scenes in recent years."

Shen Ying chuckled and then shifted closer to Lu Zheng.

"Lu Lang~"

Shen Ying sat up, moved close to Lu Zheng’s ear, and softly whispered, "I want to be a female general tonight, and shoot some horse riding scenes~"

Lu Zheng: (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ.

...

A night passed without words.

Early the next morning, Tonglin County, Lu Residence.

Lu Zheng had just returned and saw Uncle Li running over.

"Is there something?"

"Master, Daoist Yuan Ning came by yesterday, saying Daoist Yuan Jing is back, also invited Master Yue Chen to have a talk on the mountain when you’re free," Uncle Li hurriedly said.

"Master Yue Chen?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Yuan Ning came to summon him, turns out an elder from the temple has arrived.

Although the Yue generation of White Cloud Temple is not outstanding, with no top talents, Master Yue Chen still has nearly a millennium of Dao practice, managing merely a county would be a breeze.

Lu Zheng remembered Master Yue Chen, who taught him an Invisibility Technique the first time he went up the mountain.

Hmm?

Lu Zheng roughly understood why Master Yue Chen might have come to Tonglin County.

Back at home, he went to the cellar and took out ten jars of Wuliangye and ten jars of Flower Carving before leisurely heading out, rising on a cloud and slowly arriving at Shaotong Mountain’s White Cloud Temple.

"Master!"

Lu Zheng quickly spotted Master Yue Chen wandering around the temple.

"Yuan Zheng?" Master Yue Chen looked up and saw Lu Zheng descending from the sky.

"Brother!"

Upon hearing Master Yue Chen’s voice, Yuan Jing also emerged from the house.

"Brother is late this year. I spent Lantern Festival in Southern Border and you hadn’t returned yet," Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Then he saw Yuan Ning approaching in the distance and patted the gourd at his waist, taking out all twenty jars of wine. "Brought some wine, Brother, please take them to the storehouse."

Master Yue Chen’s eyes gleamed, but before he could speak, Lu Zheng rolled up his sleeves, "I’ll cook lunch today to welcome Master!"

Yuan Jing hadn’t spoken yet and Lu Zheng had already planned everything.

Yuan Jing, "..."

White Cloud Temple doesn’t prohibit alcohol or meat, it’s all voluntary, and Master Yue Chen doesn’t mind.

So braised beef, roasted lamb, five-spice chicken were served, along with mixed vegetables, fresh greens, and snacks for the wine.

A table was set up in the small courtyard, Master Yue Chen sat in the main seat, Daoist Yuan Jing and Daoist Ming Jun accompanied on the side, Lu Zheng took the bottom seat.

Lu Zheng raised his cup in salute, Master Yue Chen raised his hand and reciprocated before asking, "The Primordial Saint Sect has already moved?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "It’s moved, though not placed in Tonglin County; we bought a mountain west of Pingtan County as the mountain gate."

Master Yue Chen raised an eyebrow; he had done some homework before coming, "A branch of Rizhao Temple?"

Lu Zheng nodded again.

Master Yue Chen drank the cup in one go, put down the glass, and nodded, "Well done!"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Yuan Jing, "..."

Master Yue Chen drank a cup of Flower Carving, then switched to Wuliangye, praising, "The famous spirit of the Huo Mountain Dao is already renowned for its intensity, but nothing beats these wines."

"As long as Master likes it." Lu Zheng smiled.

He noted that many senior Abnormal People in Great Jing have a keen interest in wine. Master Yue Chen was like this, as was Liu Zong, the old beggar from the Celestial Escape Sect, and even Master Lin Yi, who seemed serious, was alike.

Of course, there are those who aren’t interested, like Wansong Daoist, Dongyangzi, and Master Qing Song.

"On the road to practice with no visible end, this hobby is all I have," Master Yue Chen laughed, "White Cloud Temple doesn’t miss me, so I came here to help and enjoy some wine."

"There’s plenty of wine!" Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Master Yue Chen laughed heartily, "Then I won’t be polite!"
