The first h the clouds and shi+ned on the dew on the plants It was a beautiful sight

When the Monarch saw Shen Lian, Shen Lian was tri the plants skilfully, just like thewater Even thedance he had seen was not as smooth and charis the plants

With grey hair and a haggard look, the Monarch could not help but feel terrible about himself A crisp childlike voice could be heard, “Why are you here again and who is this person?”

Liu Mengde sirl and then turned to Shen Lian, “Senior, the Monarch would like to see you I could not bear to disappoint hiht him here”

Shen Lian finished tri and turned toward the, as if he was a celestial being He looked at Liu Mengde and said, “Do you think you can couard this mountain for me for the next ten years as a punishment of your rash actions”

His words were calde nodded his head and promised to do so

The Monarch opened his bitter lips and asked, “Why did you not give us a chance and destroyed my entire military with spells? That was the lives of ten thousand people”

Shen Lian did not look at him and said, “They are not worthy of my actions It was the will of the heaven”

“Will of the heaven? Then ould it be so coincidental to have such a disaster last night? Also, your mother left with her troops just before the disaster? They even abandoned their heavy equipments” The Monarch questioned with a loud voice

Liu Mengde responded, “I know”

Shen Lian continued, “Maybe I was a little cruel There were better ways to solve it but I was too lazy to do so Although I've known about the disaster last night in advance, the source of it was you You planted the seed of the peach and disrupted the spiritual vigour of this surrounding area and as a result affected the Luo River After nine years of subtle influence, the crust of the earth started to change and caused the incident last night”

Liu Mengde was shocked He thought of all possibilities but it did not cross histhe peach of his Senior Apprentice-Brother would trigger such a disaster

He dejectedly said, “If I knew sooner, I would have never done that”

Shen Lian responded, “I've heard of a saying that goes ‘those who are virtuous by intention, though virtuous, shall not be rewarded Those who are wicked without intention, though wicked, shall receive no punish but maybe it would make you feel better”

Liu Mengde laughed bitterly, “Senior, I don't know if I should thank you for consolingme in advance”

“I don't uard the Xuandu Temple for the next ten years I will be back and I hope by then you're still around” Shen Lian eer and headed doards of the mountain
