Half a month later, Long Zhuyu once again came to the garden of Qingyue Gate.
This time, it was Leng Feiran who took the initiative to invite Long Zhuyu over to listen to music and admire the flowers.
But as the Empress of the Immortal Kingdom, Long Zhuyu knew what Leng Feiran meant.
Her apprentice had a conflict with the Crown Princess in the secret realm, abandoned her and ran away, almost causing Long Qilan to be killed by assassins.
This was a major accident.
Leng Feiran definitely needs to apologize, otherwise a rift will appear in their relationship.
Therefore, Long Zhuyu brought Long Qilan with her this time.
The Qingyue Sect is very useful to the Dragon Saint Kingdom, and we cannot afford to let these assassins cause unpleasantness between the two sides.
In fact, Long Zhuyu didn't blame Leng Feiran or Shen Rongrong much.
It's perfectly normal for danger to appear in secret realms. Long Qilan was so scared in a secret realm that she wet herself. Anyone would look down on someone like that.
Even assuming those assassins weren't from the Qingyue Sect.
Shen Rongrong's mistake was at most a blunder; it wasn't a serious crime.
As for Long Qilan, she was no longer angry.
If Shen Rongrong doesn't leave, how could she possibly meet Fellow Daoist Lingyue?
For the past two weeks, she's been staring at the bronze pipa, completely absorbed in her work. As for the assassin, she's long forgotten about him.
She just wanted to have a chance to visit the Lingjing Sect, at least to meet Fellow Daoist Lingyue, and that would make her very happy.
When Long Zhuyu brought Long Qilan over, Leng Feiran warmly welcomed them.
The Qingyue Sect felt incredibly proud that both the Empress and the Crown Princess of the Dragon Saint Kingdom had graced them with their presence.
The three of them enjoyed tea and music in the quiet and elegant garden, where several young women sang in the pavilion.
Long Zhuyu found it amusing and sometimes even hummed along.
Long Qilan was absent-minded. She rested her chin on her hand, looked at the pond below the pavilion, stared at the koi, and was bored.
Once these trivial matters were mostly settled, Leng Feiran offered a formal apology.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, my unworthy disciple has committed a heinous crime. I have locked her in the Heavenly Prison and made her reflect on her actions. She will be released only when she has fully repented."
Long Zhuyu silently took a sip of tea. She pondered for a moment, and finally smiled faintly and said, "This matter cannot be said to be my nephew's fault. Alas, Feiran, it's too much of a coincidence that a sesame seed fell into the eye of a needle."
Around that time, the two of them had a falling out, and that's when they started being watched.
However, Rongrong came back later, which shows that she wasn't sincere.
Isn't this punishment too harsh?
Leng Feiran kept talking about her mistakes, and she wasn't being insincere at all.
She is the Empress of the Demonic Sect, the Head of the Qingyue Sect, and a high-ranking cultivator in the Fourth Realm of Earthly Cultivation. She has her own dignity.
When he made a mistake, he would frankly admit it to everyone except Yue Qingling.
Shen Rongrong didn't do a good job at the time, but Leng Feiran would never be sloppy.
Long Zhuyu sensed her best friend's guilt, so she jokingly said, "Alright, Feiran, you're just apologizing. Do you think my precious daughter even cares?"
After saying that, she glanced helplessly at Long Qilan, who was staring blankly at the fish.
Long Qilan came to her senses and realized her lapse in composure. She quickly blushed and said, "Sect Leader Leng, what happened in the past is nothing. At that time... although it was dangerous, we managed to escape unscathed, and I even found a high-grade magic weapon. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Upon hearing this, Leng Feiran could only smile and say, "Your Highness is truly kind-hearted and magnanimous."
But she instantly felt annoyed.
You, Yue Qingling, actually gave Long Qilan a high-grade magic weapon?
How can you be so generous?
Is this even possible?
And Huang Xinning, you're still in his arms, are you just going to let him squander his money like this?
If you just go along with him like this, how are you going to manage the men?
Fine, from now on you'll just obediently be a foot-washing maid.
"Hey, Feiran, look at her now. After returning from the secret realm, she's not in a hurry to investigate the assassin anymore. She's like she's possessed, just staring blankly at that bronze pipa every day. If you had told her to focus on cultivating this magical artifact, I wouldn't have said anything."
He spends all day chanting about the Lingjing Sect and clamoring to visit fellow Daoists.
What are you, a princess of a celestial kingdom, doing at the Lingjing Sect?
Long Zhuyu scolded his daughter with disappointment and frustration.
Looking at Long Qilan, whose face was flushed red from being scolded, Leng Feiran suddenly understood.
The Crown Princess is clearly bewitched by Yue Qingling!
She couldn't be bothered to think about what methods Yue Qingling had used; after all, his face alone was enough to make people like him.
In addition, Long Qilan was probably saved by him, and he also gave her a high-grade magic artifact.
All he does is flirt with girls!
I'll deal with you later!
"Squeak~"
Leng Feiran was extremely jealous; she wanted to grind her teeth to powder!
Long Zhuyu misunderstood, and asked in confusion, "Feiran, what's wrong?"
Leng Feiran quickly adjusted her mindset and said, "I hate my disciple so much that I want to go over and give her a few lashes right now!"
"Hey, look at you! You're hitting Rongrong! Such a pretty girl, why are you hitting her? Come on, I'll go with you and let Rongrong go right now!"
Long Zhuyu kindly blamed her.
Leng Feiran sighed helplessly, "My disciple is still arguing."
Long Zhuyu came over and grabbed her arm: "Come on, stop talking nonsense. Why are you torturing this good child like this? I was thinking of having Rongrong accompany this good-for-nothing of mine to cultivate together in the future."
The two parents then left the garden, pulling and tugging at each other.
Long Qilan didn't want to go. It wasn't that she didn't want to see Shen Rongrong, she just didn't want to move.
Without seeing Fellow Daoist Lingyue, she lost interest in everything.
The prisons at Qingyue Gate are divided into the Heavenly Prison and the Earthly Prison.
The dungeon was used to imprison prisoners or enemies, and it was located in a mountain.
The Heavenly Prison is for imprisoning disciples who have made mistakes; the treatment there is incomparable to that in the Underground Prison.
Shen Rongrong was imprisoned in the high mountains, on a sheer cliff.
There are a few caves on the cliff, which disciples can use to cultivate in seclusion.
The cliffs were steep and difficult to traverse, and no one came to bring them food. This was to temper the disciples' character and make them endure loneliness and hardship.
Long Zhuyu and Leng Feiran arrived at the outside of Shen Rongrong's cave and saw Shen Rongrong, dressed in black, sitting quietly on a tattered futon.
She was surrounded by spiritual energy, and her pretty face was as white as jade, clearly indicating that she had reached a critical stage in her advancement.
Leng Feiran was slightly taken aback. Shen Rongrong was about to reach the Earthly Cultivation Realm?
She's working way too hard!
Indeed, the power of love is great.
"Shh!"
Long Zhuyu was quite sensible; she pulled Leng Feiran out of the cave, saw another cave nearby, and landed inside.
“Look how good your disciple is. She cultivates so diligently. If my daughter had half her willpower, I wouldn’t have to worry about her every day.”
Long Zhu said enviously.
