"Lu Qinglan has appeared! Lu Qinglan has appeared! Please prepare yourself, host! Please prepare yourself, host!"

Sixty-five's voice rang out unusually loudly. Zhang Xu pressed her head, which felt like it was about to explode, and slowly looked behind her.

The newcomer made an intricate knot, and icicles instantly filled the entire intersection.

"Step back!" With this command, the crowd that was rushing forward stopped in their tracks.

The newcomer was dressed in the uniform dark blue clothing of Yu Qingshan, except that the cuffs were embroidered with intricate dark patterns in gold thread, highlighting his status as the chief disciple. His cold and aloof features and expressionless face gave him an air of otherworldly distance.

The celestial being descended from the sky calmly and steadily rescued Rong Yue from her predicament. Looking at Lu Qinglan's face, Rong Yue felt a chill like that of a snow-capped mountain, yet also like the warm yet cold sunlight upon it. At that moment, she could hear her own heartbeat; his image was branded firmly into her heart like a hot iron. Lu Qinglan looked at the frightened girl in the alley, her exquisite face framed by doe-like eyes. Despite being terrified, she feigned composure as she comforted her maid. Something in Lu Qinglan's heart seemed to gently break open.

In the original story, the scene of the two meeting for the first time is a typical hero saving a beauty, the beauty falling in love at first sight, and the hero's heart fluttering. However, in Zhang Xu's opinion, it seems to be different from the original story. This beauty doesn't seem to be moved.

Zhang Xu silently pulled Rong Yue back a few steps. These two were clearly just normal strangers meeting for the first time, so how did they become so attracted to each other?

"Thank you so much, immortal, for saving my life."

Lu Qinglan nodded, her expression remaining largely unchanged: "Princess, you should return to the palace. Things haven't been peaceful in the city lately."

Rong Yue pulled Zhang Xu to say farewell to him and walked past Lu Qinglan. Even after they left, Lu Qinglan still maintained an aloof and superior demeanor.

"Princess, didn't you see Lu Qinglan? Why do you still seem unhappy?"

"Xuxu, do you think I'm incredibly immature? I had no idea the capital was in such a complicated situation. As a princess, I know nothing and can't do anything except eat, drink, and have fun. Am I incredibly incompetent?"

Rong Yue is actually worried about this? Shouldn't she have some feelings for the male lead? But there's no hint in chapter sixty-five, which means the plot is still developing normally.

Zhang Xu didn't know how to comfort a fictional character. She only knew that the development of the story and the character settings all depended on the author's settings. What could Rong Yue, a fictional character, do?

The two who escaped the encirclement did not return to the palace, but instead went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Rong Yue thought that as a princess, she could do something for her country!

The Imperial Advisor was a thin, seemingly otherworldly old man. At this moment, the Imperial Advisor's residence was bustling with activity, but the Imperial Advisor himself was quite leisurely, standing at the door looking at the scorching sun in the sky with a worried expression.

In the setting of "Flying Snow and Clear Silence," this is a world of cultivation, dotted with various sects of all sizes. Among them, Jade Green Mountain is the most prestigious and powerful. Each sect protects the ordinary people within its sphere of influence, vanquishing demons and monsters, allowing the people in its territory to live peaceful lives. Chen Kingdom is an ordinary kingdom under the protection of Jade Green Mountain. This time, Chen Kingdom is experiencing a rare drought, so Jade Green Mountain has sent its chief disciple to provide assistance.

When they inquired with the Imperial Preceptor, they learned that Lu Qinglan had not come down the mountain specifically to help Chen Kingdom pray for rain. Rather, drought demons had appeared in towns surrounding Chen Kingdom, and the appearance of hordes of drought demons had already attracted the attention of the cultivation world. Lu Qinglan was merely taking the opportunity to investigate the situation in Chen Kingdom.
