When he and I are reunited, my entire purpose will become never having to be separated from him again.
————————
At the ceremony of the Lord of the North's succession to the throne, the leaders of the famous forces such as Dawn Court, Linglong Mountain, Suye Tower, etc. either sent envoys or attended in person.
Even though everyone present had become numb to hearing the roll call, there was still one name that made them shudder.
——"The Lord of the Spiritual Snake Realm sent an envoy to congratulate Palace Master Shenxue, who is overjoyed!"
Although both "Realm Lord" and "Palace Lord" share some resemblance to "Lord," the weight of the two titles is vastly different. Furthermore, the Spirit Snake Realm isn't particularly close to the Vermillion Bird Realm, and it's unclear how Palace Lord Shenxue managed to establish such a distant connection.
Everyone present had already thrown their eyes at each other, whispering to each other to inquire about the number of people, but Han Qianling, who was at the center of everyone's attention, just frowned.
"Well, please let the messenger come in."
The visiting envoy was dressed in black robes, his dark cape shrouding him in shadow, obscuring most of his face. Though he came to congratulate someone, his pitch-black attire betrayed no sign of joy. The only noticeable sign was a black jade hanging from his waist, bound by a red string, as a token of respect.
"I heard that Palace Master Shenxue is rising rapidly in the Suzaku Realm, so my master sent me here to congratulate him."
"I'm glad to hear that you are far superior to me in this matter." Han Qianling said politely and was about to invite the person to sit down, but the messenger raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to drink. I came here today for another important matter. Congratulations were just something my master did after hearing the news from the Palace Master. I have something to ask the Palace Master this time—"
"The Palace Master and my young master entered the secret realm together and lost contact together. Now that the Palace Master has been promoted here, it is truly a cause for celebration. I just wonder where my young master is now?"
The words were spoken very politely, but the black-robed man's expression was completely different.
As he spoke, he suddenly took a step forward, and before his shadow had even dissipated, he had already approached Han Qianling from the hallway, within a few feet of him. His snake tongue flickered out, revealing two sharp fangs, clearly intent on closing in.
What's going on? The guests exchanged bewilderment, exchanging information in this information-rich exchange: "Have you heard of this? Is the Palace Master of Shenxue Palace friendly with the Young Master of the Spirit Snake Realm? From what the messenger said, the Palace Master was so ruthless as to murder the Young Master of such a realm?"
The question was, how was that even possible? Someone with more advanced intelligence also relayed their own information: It was said that since the Spirit Snake Lord established the realm, no one had ever seen the Young Master! The Spirit Snake Lord had built a massive project for the Young Master, even forging a sword that had caused a sensation in the city, but whether or not this person even existed was still a mystery!
It was a great succession ceremony, but now no one is paying attention to the fact that "the Lord of Shenxue Palace drew his sword and the Lord of the Northland changed his position."
Some people stole glances at Han Qianling's expression, wanting to see if he would feel guilty, angry out of shame, or refute or scold, or cry and beg... No matter how he reacted, it would be good to see some expression on that face that was like a sculpture of ice and snow!
Regardless of what speculations people make, not many people think that Palace Master Shenxue has a clean hand - as the master of a great realm, he deliberately sent people across several worlds to question a leader of a force in the Suzaku Realm. The quality of the two is vastly different, whether in terms of cultivation, subordinates or the size of their territories. If Palace Master Shenxue really has something fishy going on, could it be that the Spirit Snake Realm Master has nothing better to do?
So no one could have imagined that in front of everyone and under such pressure, the Lord of Shenxue Palace actually laughed.
He lowered his eyebrows slightly, his black eyelashes, like splashed ink, trembling slightly, the beautiful curve of his eyes almost intoxicating. His features were already a combination of the pure beauty of frost and snow and a sea of flowers. When he was neither frowning nor smiling, he looked like an immortal in the Moon Palace. When he smiled, he revealed a certain beauty, and his posture was humble to the point of humility.
But what he said was not polite at all.
"Mr. Zhen has great magical powers, but it turns out he has found nothing about his whereabouts."
This is a mockery, a blatant mockery.
The black-robed man's long, pale yellow eyes slowly narrowed. "I don't know how lonely the young master must be in the netherworld. Are you offering yourself to accompany him?"
"Even if I don't say that, Mr. Zhen might be thinking the same thing." Han Qianling said politely, "You are Mr. Zhen's man, so I won't touch you for now. If you curse your young master again, I will nail you up like a specimen and use you as a decoration in my hall. Please go back and tell Mr. Zhen to rest assured. If he really encounters an accident, my feelings will be the same as Mr. Zhen's."
The black-robed man gasped, understanding Han Qianling's implication: "...Do you know where our young master is?"
"Of course I know." Han Qianling said gently: "Tell this to Mr. Zhen, don't miss a word - your young master, he is naturally in my heart."
The author has something to say: Let me digress a little. These two people have actually always had opinions and conflicts with each other.
However, it was not so obvious when Jiujiang was in Qidao.
Also, although Master had always been sarcastic in front of Jiujiang, Qianling had persuaded Jiujiang that Mr. Luo was indeed powerful. However, when Beixueyuan and the others met alone, it was Qianling who was sharper, while Master was more submissive. (Although Qianling spoke politely and was humble, his attitude when doing things could not be used as a reference standard. The result should be considered, because he generally had the same attitude towards outsiders.)
Because the result of the "Ashura Field" chapter was that Han Qianling got what he wanted to know about Jiujiang's whereabouts, and wanted to block the door and wait for Master Luo Jiujiang to agree. In the middle of the process, the master wanted to order him around, but he retorted, "Don't worry, I've already done the Jiujiang thing." In the end, when the master gave up his murderous intent and ridiculed himself, "I'm useless," he was still very sure, "It's not that you're useless, it's that you're old."
So later on, the master complained that he was "talking nonsense".
Qianling, who was so sharp, has let loose now that Jiujiang is gone, and he directly confronts his master with real swords and guns. If Jiujiang were there, he would be gentle and polite, and every word he said would be without any anger or provocation (just like the Shura Field chapter, I don’t think anyone thought it was a confrontation, only the master was depressed).
Also, Master and Qianling are indeed very similar in a sense. How similar are they? They are so similar that neither of them will show mercy to someone who is similar to themselves. If either Luo Jiujiang or Que Cangjiang cannot survive, then one of them will definitely die if they meet.
Of course, now we and they all know that Jiujiang is still alive =w=
