Chapter 1432 Obtaining the Order

"No need, do you think I don't know the way?"

Song Chunxue avoided him and walked ahead, saying, "You go back first, I'm going to buy something."

Qi Yun stamped his feet in embarrassment. Seeing this, he quickly followed behind Song Chunxue and said to Xie Zheng, "Lord Xie, I'll see my master off."

"..." Lord Xie stood there, unsure how to describe his feelings.

After a long pause, he smiled helplessly and said, "Fine."

At least, she's no longer as indifferent as she used to be.

This situation, ironically, put him at ease.

In the following days, Song Chunxue simply followed Xie Zheng as an attendant during the day.

Then he escorted Xie Zheng back to his residence, and afterwards went to visit Huo Xiang.

Or perhaps, she went to the Demon Sect to test the Triangular Pyramid.

However, the triangular pyramid remained unresponsive on subsequent attempts.

However, the entire Demon Sect greatly admired this acting sect leader.

The people of the Demonic Sect are similar to Huo Xiang; they adhere to the principle of being carefree and natural, and are used to doing things their own way. Once you gain their trust, they will be devoted to you and accept you completely.

"Sect Master Qiu, may I ask you for some pointers on your techniques?"

"Sect Leader Qiu, do you have any instructions?"

"Sect Leader Qiu, from now on we will not use the Demonic Sect's techniques. Let's quietly change our appearance and rename ourselves the Wandering Sect, how about that?"

"Sect Leader Huo said that we can ask you anything. May I ask if the Biyue Pavilion at the foot of the mountain can be expanded? The disciples all want to go swimming in the water during the summer."

"Sect Leader Qiu, would you like to come to our mountain for a banquet? Several of our elders would like to have a drink and chat with you."

"Sect Leader Qiu, these female cultivators are all very beautiful. If you don't mind, please send them to your courtyard to serve you."

"Sect Leader Qiu..."

"Sect Leader Qiu..."

The people from the Demonic Sect were suddenly too enthusiastic, which gave Song Chunxue a headache. She would even take a detour when she saw the disciples.

"Clang!"

In Huoxiang's room, Song Chunxue took a sip of water and slammed the teacup down. "My task is complete. Don't just wash your hands of it. I just wanted to help you, not take over all these things for you. I'm very busy."

Huo Xiang humbly accepted the criticism, "You are right. I will tell them when I feel better in a few days. Please bear with me for a few more days. Recently, evil cultivators have been unable to enter the Demon Sect. Your treasure has made the Demon Sect's barrier indestructible, and even the disciples' minds have become much clearer."

The next few days were relatively quiet, with nothing major happening.

Until Master Han and his master appeared at the Zhao residence together.

"Be careful these next few days. There will be unforeseen events in the palace. Take precautions in everything you do." Master Han tapped the table with a heavy heart, assigning tasks to each of them.

Song Chunxue's task remains the same: to stay by Lord Xie's side and protect Xie Zheng's safety.

Well then, Xie Zheng's position in the court is indeed dangerous. Those behind-the-scenes masters who have ulterior motives and want to occupy half of the country in the court and the harem want to get rid of him, this thorn in their side.

That day, Xie Zheng went to court, and Song Chunxue ran back to the high building of the Imperial Observatory where she used to work. From there, one could overlook most of the palace and also look up at the celestial phenomena.

Now that her cultivation level is different, she can see more stars during the day.

In March, when the weather is warmer, willow catkins sway leisurely in the breeze.

Song Chunxue briefly cleared her mind, gazing at the scene before her and capturing a few moments of beauty.

The azure sky, the red walls and black tiles, it's all so blurry...

"Swoosh!"

Almost a faint white afterimage swept through the air. Song Chunxue looked up but didn't pay it any mind.

Because she didn't detect any aura, perhaps it was fireworks...

No, with her current cultivation level, how could she possibly be mistaken?

With Wuyou not on her person, she took out the red sword bean, concealed herself, and stood in the spot where she had been before, continuing to wait!

"Swoosh~"

[There's something unusual happening in the palace, Song Chunxue, have you noticed?]

It was Master Han's voice.

[I saw it! One... no, two white figures flew by. Should we pursue them?]

[No need. We'll talk about it after sunset. You and Xie Zheng stay in the palace after court and keep an eye on things.]

"Understood." Song Chunxue replied.

"Yes," Xie Zheng replied.
