Su Cheng rushed back as fast as he could and did so as quickly as possible!

"Has anyone been here?"

Yu Lan nodded: "They are Li Shiyao's good older sister and younger sister. They noticed that Shiyao was injured and came to question her."

"Hmm? Putting aside the sisters, Shiyao is injured?"

Su Cheng thought to himself, "Is this right?"

With the Chaos Bell given to her by him, who can hurt Li Shiyao?

Before returning from the Northern Region, Su Cheng had already given Li Shiyao a thorough physical examination.

Injured? Li Shiyao may look delicate, but she's actually more resilient than him!

Ordinary swords and blades cannot harm her at all!

[Damn it, we should have killed everyone from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion...]

Where is Shiyao?

He quickly moved to the Lingchi Palace and gently knocked on the door.

"Shiyao, are you inside?"

"Master...Master? You're looking for Shiyao?"

"Well, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm... Master, please wait a moment, Shiyao will be right there."

This time, Li Shiyao was smarter. She tidied her appearance in the Lingchi Hall before coming out.

She wore a flowing, shimmering dress, her long hair styled in an updo with a jade hairpin wrapped in gold thread, a gold bracelet with a jade pendant hanging from her wrist, and a custom-made necklace given to her by the immortal.

The Chaos Bell, gleaming with golden light and Daoist charm, hung at her lower back, while the Bewitching Bell chimed intermittently with her footsteps, announcing the arrival of the Holy Maiden.

Li Shiyao was lazy, not that she was completely incapable of applying makeup. After all, the Holy Mountain had very strict requirements for the appearance of its holy maidens.

She applied a simple, light makeup look, even highlighting her already delicate and luscious pink lips.

Hmm... Li Shiyao forced a smile at herself in the mirror. She thought it was perfect, without any flaws.

That's perfectly normal; Master definitely wouldn't be able to tell!

Stand tall with your chest out and head held high, pay attention to your posture!

Smile! Look straight ahead!

Just like usual, Master definitely won't be able to tell...

In the main hall of Lingxian Palace, Li Shiyao let out a long sigh, peered out from the side of the door, and walked in slowly with the air of an empress ascending the throne...

Reaching the center of the main hall, Li Shiyao spoke slowly.

"Li Shiyao, the second disciple of Lingxian Palace, greets Master. May I ask what brings you here?"

Su Cheng was stunned. Had his second disciple been possessed by a ghost?

"Shiyao, what happened? What's wrong?"

Li Shiyao slowly knelt in the center of the hall. To be honest, she felt that this was the normal way to do things, and that her master should soon dispel his doubts!

"This disciple does not understand Master's meaning, please enlighten me."
