"Swoosh..." The purple eyes of Qiqing flashed, and her white hand swept lightly, holding something cold in her hand.
"Master, what happened?" Hearing the noise, Riying and Chen Zuoshi immediately flashed out from the darkness.
Ever since Dugu Ling gave Posha City and Pluto Pavilion to Qiqing, along with the sun, moon, and stars, they also recognized Qiqing as their new master.
On weekdays, Riying and Chen Zuoshi hide in the dark, while Yueying and Xing Youshi stay by Qiqing's side, staying in the open to take care of Qiqing's daily life.
Qi Qing looked at the two people who ran in nervously, smiled softly, and said, "It's nothing, don't worry..."
"Master..." Xing's personality is rather cold, but he is also very considerate.
Even though she and Yueying were serving in the outer room just now, they were keenly aware of the sounds coming from the inner room.
She knew that her master did not completely trust the four of them.
Qi Qing looked at the four pairs of eyes staring at him, sighed, but didn't worry too much.
Although she didn't think that these four people would be as loyal to her as they were to Dugu Ling.
But she didn't mind...
Qiqing opened his palm, and in it was a small gray iron ball.
Qi Qing squeezed the ball hard and it immediately turned into powder, revealing a piece of paper inside.
Qiqing glanced at the contents of the note, and a hint of scarlet flashed in his purple eyes.
Chen took the note and said, "Two days later, Jin Shengxuan, Jade Flower Dew, come alone..."
As Chen read out the contents of the note word by word, the expressions of everyone except Qiqing changed.
"Master, Shangguan Jue's birthday is in two days. The Master... The Pavilion Master will definitely enter the palace."
Although Dugu Ling gave both Posha City and Pluto Pavilion to Qiqing, Qiqing's identity could not be made public.
Therefore, Dugu Ling still had to go to the palace as the lord of Posha City to celebrate Shangguan Jue's birthday.
"Not only the Pavilion Master, but also the Crown Prince of Yunlang Country, His Highness the Fourth Prince Bai, and the Crown Prince of Shengyuan Country..."
With this calculation, only Yu Wuchen and Ning Anan are left.
They didn't know much about Yu Wuchen's martial arts, and Ning Anan didn't know any martial arts at all.
"Master, you can't go. This person deliberately chose this time. There might be a trap!"
Yueying said, "Let's discuss this when Pavilion Master comes back."
“It’s no use, the letter says it can only be done by the master.
Besides, he chose this day specifically to get the Pavilion Master and the others away.
Even if the Pavilion Master and the others did not enter the palace, this person would definitely find other reasons.
As long as the Jade Flower Dew is in his hands, we have no choice." Chen shook his head and said.
"Then what do you say we should do? Are we going to let the master take the risk alone?" Yueying was a little annoyed.
Qi Qing looked at the Sun, Moon, and Stars, all of whom had an irritated and conflicted expression.
He chuckled softly, “Don’t tell Dugu Ling about this, and don’t tell anyone else.
I’m going alone…”
"Master, that's not possible! It's too dangerous," Yueying immediately retorted.
Qiqing didn't say anything, but just looked at Yueying, which made Yueying feel a chill in her heart.
Yueying fell to her knees with a thud, followed by Riying, Chen and Xing.
Yueying frowned. She had really lost her mind. She had been with the Pavilion Master for too long and spoke without restraint.
Also because I have been with the master these days, the master seems too delicate and soft.
Thinking of the several battles between this man and the Pavilion Master, it is true that the master is a person that everyone in the world talks about.
She had dared to question her master's decision, and she was finished.
Yueying prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she would not die too miserably.
"Master, Yueying has overstepped her bounds. Please punish me."
"Master, Yueying lost her composure in a moment of anxiety. Please..."
Before Xing could finish his words, he was interrupted by another voice.
"Master, Sun Shadow is willing to take the punishment on Moon Shadow's behalf!"
Riying rarely speaks on weekdays and is even more indifferent and taciturn than Xing.
"Hiei! Who asked you to take the punishment for me? It was my own fault, I was willing to..."
"Do you like her?" Qiqing's gentle voice fell on Yueying's head like a thunder.
Riying and Yueying suddenly looked up and met Qiqing's purple eyes. There was no teasing or mockery in those eyes.
There is only a slight doubt.
Qiqing looked at Riying, and it was obvious that this question was directed at Riying.
Riying didn't know what to say for a moment, while Yueying blushed.
He stammered, "Master...Master, you...you misunderstood. He...I...he...this piece of wood..."
"Huh? Isn't it? Riying? Don't you like her?" Qiqing asked for the second time.
At this moment, Yueying paused and took back the words of defense that were about to come out of her mouth.
He tilted his head to look at the shadow kneeling on the ground, as if he was also expecting something.
After a long while, Riying raised his head and glanced at Yueying, who was always charming but now had a nervous look on her face.
He looked at Qi Qing again and said firmly, "Yes, I like Yueying..."
"Riying, you?" Yueying looked incredulous, nervous and excited.
She has always liked Riying and often pestered him, but she thought Riying didn't like her.
After all, Hikage had always been quite cold towards her, even though he was cold towards everyone else.
Qi Qing frowned and said, "Dugu Ling gave you four to me.
You call me Master, but I don’t know what I need you to do.”
"It started when the Pavilion Master gave us, no, not just us, but also Pluto Pavilion and Posha City to you.
You are the master of the four of us, and everything we have belongs to you, including our lives.
So we can do whatever you ask us to do.”
Chen said with great respect.
Qi Qing nodded, as if he understood a little, and said:
I hope you will start with two things:
First, don't lie to me.
Second, follow my instructions.
If you can't do it, then go back to Dugu Ling.
If you can do this, then from now on, you will be mine.
This is the last and only chance I give you.
If you betray, you will die!
You should believe that if I want someone to die, even Dugu Ling can't stop me."
The aura on Qiqing's body instantly turned cold, even more fierce than Dugu Ling's.
The four of them were startled, and after looking at each other, they became determined.
"Yes, I will never betray you!"
Qi Qing curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay, the four of you listen, don't tell anyone what's on the note.
Two days later, I will go to Jinshengxuan alone, and you four don't need to follow me."
"Yes, Master, I obey your command..."
Qiqing took the note from Chen's hand back into her palm, pinched it lightly with four fingers, and the note instantly turned into ashes.
After the few people left, Qiqing sat in front of the bronze mirror, took off the veil on her face, and looked at the pattern drawn on half of her face.
A layer of frost appeared in the purple eyes.
She has been lonely for so many years and now she just wants to hold on to the warmth around her.
But there are always people who don't know whether to live or die. If that's the case, then don't blame her!
