Chapter 1360 The Nose Is Quite Clever

Whether it's protecting a mother and daughter or Xie Zheng, Song Chunxue will agree without asking why.

This proves that her spiritual practice is effective and that she can save people.

In this vortex of powerful figures, protecting one person by all means is both her challenge and her test.

She followed the officers with firm steps, replying resolutely, "Yes, I will do everything in my power to protect them."

Master Han nodded slightly, then lowered his head to sniff the aroma of the tea in the bowl; it seemed to taste even better.

I originally thought she would say something else, at least make two conditions, such as not telling Xie Zheng.

But then he thought about it again and smiled knowingly.

Master Song was quick-witted and diligent. Twenty years have passed, and she is no longer the same Master Song she once was.

The reason why such an important matter was brought to Song Chunxue was firstly because she was currently free, and Master Han anticipated that she would leave the capital soon, so he could use this method to keep her here.

Secondly, among the highly skilled people around them, only Song Chunxue's invisibility technique was so superb that it could be used at any time without being detected.

The female path is associated with heavy yin energy, unlike the male path which is more conspicuous in the palace. Evil cultivators are most adept at this kind of concealment.

Speaking of her progress in cultivation, Master Han couldn't help but sigh, "The way of cultivation that is to blindly follow the rules and not turn back until you hit a wall is not as good as going with the flow and having an epiphany. After that, the path of cultivation will be as smooth as a boat sailing with the current. It's something that can't be envied."

However, to be honest, many flesh-and-blood people wouldn't dare to envy that.

If someone else had gone through a life like Song Chunxue's, they might have fallen and been unable to get up before even reaching the stage of spiritual cultivation, or even been crushed into mud and turned into dust.

It's just unclear whether keeping her in the capital, watching Xie Zheng trapped in a predicament, is the right or wrong thing to do.

He simply couldn't find a second person more suitable than her to take on this important task.

Song Chunxue stayed at the Imperial Observatory, and she was the only one left at night. For several days in a row, no one was willing to stay and take turns with her.

They all complained that the palace walls were too high and that living there would feel like being a caged beast. Living on a high platform also felt disconnected from the earth. In short, these were the excuses they gave when Song Chunxue asked.

Not many people came up to the platform. In the past few days, only two unfamiliar faces came. Tea and food were brought to her, and she did not lack anything.

If she wanted to take a bath, she had to go to the small house in the northwest corner below the platform, where the spider webs were bigger than a basket, and she didn't want to clean them up.

On the fourth day, someone came to clean the room for her, since the chamber pot was there.

Although she has been fasting for the past few days and has eaten very little.

They probably got scared and didn't want her to go somewhere else to relieve herself.

The mother and daughter were in the courtyard 300 meters away. She asked Ba Wang to go and supervise them, and she would also go and check on them from time to time.

As for Lord Xie, Wuyou now has a legitimate excuse and has been following him almost constantly, hiding in a corner, ready to rush out and protect him at any time.

That evening, after the palace gates were locked, Wuyou returned.

[Today I dealt with two assassins who were trying to harm Lord Xie. Although they were more skilled than the scouts from the day before yesterday, they still couldn't withstand a single move from me.]

Song Chunxue asked curiously, "How was it done?"

[A single chokehold wouldn't make him make a sound and cause trouble, would it? However, the person secretly waiting was quite quick; in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, they discovered the anomaly, stuffed the man into a sack, and threw him into the well. Tsk tsk, there's hardly any clean water in that well.]

Song Chunxue suddenly gagged, looking at the water in her cup. "My tea..."

"They can drink, they can drink; they were brought in from outside the palace."

She still didn't believe it and put the tea aside.

It seems that from now on she will have to fetch clean water from outside the city herself and store it in her storage ring to drink slowly.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a noise came from the corridor outside the observatory, like pebbles being thrown on the wooden floor.

【who? 】

Who else could it be but your handsome, devilish disciple? He certainly has a keen nose.

That's true.

"Knock knock knock".
