Before long, they arrived outside the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Under the cover of night, the residence resembled a mysterious behemoth, exuding a solemn and majestic aura.
The tightly closed gate resembled the gaping maw of a giant beast, while the stone lions on either side, illuminated by the dim moonlight, exuded a cold and majestic aura.
Su Jinyun cautiously looked around, her eyes sharp, not missing any unusual clues.
After confirming there was no suspicious activity, she made a very subtle and concise gesture to her guards.
The gesture was like a silent command in the dark, instructing them to carefully provide support from the outside, remain vigilant at all times, and be aware of any potential dangers.
Then, she took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and displayed her exquisite lightness skill.
Her movements were as light as a nimble black owl, and she leaped silently toward the courtyard wall.
In mid-air, her figure drew a graceful and fluid arc, like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky, shining with a mysterious light.
When she landed, she was like a feather gently falling, her toes lightly touching the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water, making almost no sound.
It blended perfectly into the deep darkness of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
However, even though Su Jinyun had been extremely careful and cautious, she still inevitably disturbed the Imperial Preceptor Yu Ji, who was meditating quietly in the backyard of the mansion.
At that moment, Yu Ji was immersed in the profound and dreamlike world of Taoism. Her consciousness seemed to be detached from the mortal world, quietly conversing with the mysterious forces of heaven and earth.
The slightest movement from the outside world, in this extremely tranquil atmosphere, is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
She opened her eyes instantly with alertness, a sharp glint in them. She turned around quickly and saw a dark figure appear before her like a ghost without warning.
This sudden turn of events was like a bolt from the blue, startling Yu Ji. Her heart clenched as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Driven by a self-preservation instinct, she almost instinctively called for the guards in the manor to subdue this uninvited guest and protect her own safety and the peace of the manor.
In that critical moment, Su Jinyun keenly sensed Yu Ji's intention.
She was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, as soon as Yu Ji cried out.
It will be like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, causing many unpredictable troubles and possibly even ruining the entire plan.
So she quickly lowered her voice, which, though soft, seemed to carry a power that pierced through the darkness, and said urgently and clearly, "Imperial Preceptor, it is I, Su Jinyun!"
These few words, in this tense and almost suffocating atmosphere, were like a ray of hope, successfully stopping Yu Ji from uttering her cry.
When Yu Ji heard that familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment, her expression as if time had frozen.
Then, she looked closely and realized that the person who came was indeed Su Jinyun.
A complex look of astonishment and confusion flashed across her eyes, her gaze seemingly conveying countless questions.
His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless for a moment.
She had naturally heard about Su Jinyun's disappearance. According to the information she received, Su Jinyun seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Like a speck of dust disappearing into the vast sea of people.
However, Su Jinyun's sudden appearance before her at this moment truly shocked her, as if she were witnessing an unbelievable scene in a dream.
Since the abdication of the Emperor Emeritus, Yu Ji's life has undergone significant changes, much like a pebble being thrown into a calm lake.
Since the Emperor ascended the throne, Yu Ji has had more frequent and in-depth contact with Qin Qianluo, and her cultivation of Taoist arts has been like seeing the sun after the clouds have parted.
I gained many new insights that I had never had before.
These insights, like brilliant stars, illuminated her previously somewhat confused path of cultivation.
It was like a magical key, opening a mysterious door for her to a higher realm of Taoist magic.
Each new insight was like a baptism of the soul, deepening her understanding of the Tao and giving her a clearer insight into the mysteries of the universe.
However, truly integrating these valuable insights into one's own strength is not something that can be achieved overnight.
This requires a lot of time to think deeply, ponder repeatedly, patiently settle down, and thoroughly digest.
Just like brewing wine, it takes time for fermentation and sedimentation to produce a mellow and delicious wine.
Therefore, she had to make the decision to reduce the number of times she attended court and choose to stay at home, devoting herself wholeheartedly to studying her new insights.
Like a persistent explorer, she sails alone in the mysterious ocean of Taoism, searching for deeper truths.
Although I can no longer communicate with Qin Qianluo as often as before, I can't help but feel a little regretful, like a petal falling, carrying a faint sadness.
After all, Qin Qianluo was like a guiding light on her path of cultivation, and every interaction with her was very beneficial to her.
But Yu Ji felt more joy than anything else, as if she had finally seen a glimmer of light after groping her way forward in a dark tunnel for a long time.
After all, during her long years of cultivation, she had long believed that her Taoist skills had reached a bottleneck that was difficult to overcome.
Like being trapped in an invisible cage, one's future path of cultivation may come to a standstill, plunging into endless confusion.
