386 Rei Xiu Xiu Yi

He coughed lightly, and all the ministers' eyes turned to the prince.

The eldest prince spoke softly, "We should all remember what happened today; external threats have never disappeared. We must keep this firmly in mind."

From this day forward, Lord Lin will be the Left Vice Minister, and Lord Zhang and Lord Li will be the Left and Right Censors.

Concise language, quick selection.

"Your Majesty, we thank you!" they answered in unison, their joy barely concealed.

The vacant positions naturally became the site for another round of selection.

Inside the Five Directions Pavilion, guests left quickly, overturning tables and chairs. At first, they were sneaking around, but then they fled for their lives.

After dealing with Old Demon Li, he saw a man in plain white clothes with a calm face but a complex look in his eyes. He was about to say something, but then stopped.

Then he smiled slightly and immediately praised, "I am Mr. Sun. Lord He is exceptionally brave and rare in this world."

An unexpected incident just occurred at the palace; the Vice Minister Wang is dead.

He paused slightly, then nodded gently in return. "Mr. Sun, greetings. Thank you for informing me."

With a light leap, he arrived on the fourth floor, where a beautiful woman, whose beauty defies description, stood—it was Lian Dajia. Her eyes sparkled, showing no fear, but rather curiosity and shyness.

A very young maid followed behind, secretly observing He Chen. Her eyes held a mixture of fear and curiosity.

A few steps away, a dark shadow appeared silently, as if it had merged into the air.

When Lord Sun saw that He Chen did not respond according to the usual pattern, he was momentarily stunned. Before he could react, the man had already disappeared.

She smiled slightly and sighed softly, 'Youth is truly wonderful!'

Just as he turned to leave, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before him, dressed in revealing clothing, with a short skirt, long legs, and a low-cut top.

Looking at Mr. Sun with deep affection, she thought, "Master Sun seems to have suffered a setback. This young lady is deeply in love with you."

If you're so obedient, why don't you come and sit in my palace?

Let me play a tune for you, sir, to ease your boredom.

After speaking, he lowered his head meekly and looked on expectantly.

Sun Daru took a step back without making a sound. His light blue top revealed a black bra underneath, which was truly impossible to conceal!

I'm a little puzzled by what I'm wearing today. It seems I've learned a new trick; I need to be more careful.

However, he said frankly, "I dare not go to Palace Master Shan's palace casually."

Why didn't you go to the palace? It's incredibly lively there.

Then she added softly, "Palace Master Shan has taken a liking to Lady Lian, and her zither playing is indeed unparalleled. However, I advise Palace Master Shan to stop here."

Palace Master Shan bowed slightly, lowering her body so that Grand Scholar Sun could see her chest at a glance.

Sun Daru had a clear and upright gaze. He looked at it carefully for a moment, then looked away, not bothered by it at all.

Palace Master Shan chuckled nonchalantly, "This royal palace is very deep; I don't want to get involved in this mess."

Why didn't Mr. Sun go either? It's better that he didn't go.

There are many affairs at the royal palace; perhaps it would be better if the two of us found a quiet place to drink and chat.

She gazed expectantly, like a wife waiting for her husband, quietly hoping.

Sun Daru's eyes flashed with wariness as he said softly, "I don't know if tonight will be peaceful, so let's skip the drinking. We can talk another day when we have time."

Turning around, her figure was like a dream, flashing by and disappearing into thin air without a trace.

'How utterly clueless! I'm only sincerely inviting you to chat.' The Palace Master's eyes held a hint of a smile; she was quite pleased with her attire.

Turning around and looking into the Five Directions Building, I saw a handsome, incredibly young figure standing there. I silently refrained from disturbing him.

I was right there when they killed the old demon, but for a different reason.

Unexpectedly, his long-standing rival's unpredictable and elusive methods of concealment proved utterly ineffective against the young man.

Before he could even unleash his vicious cultivation and techniques, the path of humanity was severed as the blade fell.

There was an inexplicable apprehension in his eyes.

Looking at Lian Xiuxiu, this woman was truly suitable for his lineage, but the faint aura around her clearly made her difficult to deal with.

After pausing for a moment, I saw that the place had been heavily fortified and sealed off by a large number of soldiers. The powerful weapons specifically designed to break through the defenses of the enemy were in place, but no one had made a move.

Lian stepped forward shyly, saying, "Young Master He, you are truly unforgettable at first sight."

The beautiful woman, without any particular restraint, lightly searched the group. They found a considerable amount of money, mostly silver notes, and two bottles of pills, presumably used for their usual cultivation.

"I'm so sorry for interrupting your performance, everyone's praise." He clasped his hands in apology.

Lian Xiuxiu's beautiful eyes gleamed with anticipation as she softly said, "Young Master is too kind. I am but a humble woman, not as famous as Young Master He."

Looking directly at him gently, he thought, "I've heard a lot about your reputation before, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it's well-deserved."

If you don't mind, young master, I'd be happy to play a tune for you.

I wonder if Young Master He would be willing to lend his ear for a listen.

Her eyes were full of expectant light, like a flower bud waiting to bloom, waiting for someone to appreciate it and pick it.

The storms are too bitter, and it's hard to find a true friend.

'That way, I'll show more compassion to everyone.' She nodded gently and thanked them.

"Young master, you're too kind. Please just call me Xiuxiu." Lian Xiuxiu looked delighted when He Chen agreed.

He hurriedly led the way to the fifth floor, his steps light and quick, like a child.

In the living room, there is a plate of pastries and a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).

Lian Xiuxiu personally brewed a cup of tea. 'Please wait a moment, young master.'

A short while later, she changed into a brocade robe and a fitted long skirt, sat down gently, and with her jade-like hands, slowly removed her veil.

Like unveiling a stunning painting, her face, like morning dew, embodies the purest beauty in the world, captivating and enchanting.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, as delicate as a traditional Chinese painting, with every stroke full of vitality and charm.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a subtle charm, while her eyes were full of intelligence and insight, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Her lips were delicate and luscious, her skin was as white as snow, and her long, black hair flowed down like a waterfall, exuding gentleness, beauty, and grace.

It was as if a beautiful goddess had descended to earth.

A pair of shy eyes gazed gently at the person opposite her, who was quietly eating pastries.

They ate them one after another, so cool!

She smiled gently, her smile as beautiful as a peach blossom in February.

Ignoring it, I started playing lightly.

They were eating pastries, while a maid was curiously observing them.

Both of them were oblivious to the music and gazes of the others.

The maid, Tao'er, watched as her mistress removed her veil, and a sudden pang of jealousy shot through her heart. She thought to herself, 'How utterly oblivious to romance! How could my mistress possibly have feelings for him?'

Suddenly, the sound of a zither came, like water droplets falling into the deep strings of a vast ocean.
