To Bai Hao's surprise, Su Yuewan hadn't caused him any trouble for several days since he returned that day. Every time he brought food up, she would just nod calmly, saying almost nothing and showing no resentment towards Bai Hao.
This made Bai Hao feel very uncomfortable at first.
Why didn't Su Yuewan cause him any trouble?
And there was still no movement for several days in a row, which was even more absurd than the sun rising in the west.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Yuewan still painted in the courtyard every day as usual, occasionally went to the square to guide her disciples in their cultivation, and would also talk to Bai Hao about things she wanted to do, and would occasionally point out what she wanted to eat so that Bai Hao could make it for her, then things would be different.
Everything was normal—except that Bai Hao wasn't being made things difficult for.
real!
He felt uneasy even though Su Yuewan didn't cause him any trouble!
"Could I have masochistic tendencies?" Bai Hao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, startled by the thought.
"What are you muttering about over there?" A lazy voice suddenly came, and Bai Hao quickly looked up.
Su Yuewan had come to the backyard at some point.
"Sect Master, you've arrived." Bai Hao immediately sat up from the rattan chair, feeling a little excited.
Is she finally going to cause me trouble?!
Su Yuewan: "??"
She hadn't even said anything yet, so why was Bai Hao complaining about her again?
Moreover, judging from his tone, Bai Hao seems to be somewhat excited this time.
Does he want me to cause him trouble?
What strange and unusual hobbies!
Su Yuewan glared at him irritably and said, "Are you busy right now?"
"It's alright, Sect Master, please feel free to give any instructions!" Bai Hao replied immediately.
"Then you'll come with me to the Great Cang Kingdom," Su Yuewan said calmly.
"The Great Cang Kingdom?" Bai Hao was taken aback.
"The Empress of the Great Cang Kingdom sent a letter inviting me to be her guest. Since you're free, why don't you go? Make your preparations, and I'll be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain in half an hour." After saying this, Su Yuewan didn't wait for Bai Hao to recover and turned to leave.
"The Great Cang Kingdom..."
Although there are many sects on the Divine Radiance Continent, there are also a very few empires that can rival them, and the Great Cang Kingdom is one of them.
The Great Cang Kingdom is also in the Southern Region, but it is quite far from the Falling Sea Sect. One is in the easternmost part of the Southern Region, and the other is in the westernmost part.
Moreover, the Great Cang Kingdom is also very strong, possessing several experts at the Knowledge and Action Realm, comparable to first-class sects.
Unlike sects, empires primarily gather disciples with exceptional talent, teaching them cultivation techniques and martial arts to enhance their strength and acquire more resources.
The fundamental purpose of a sect is to become stronger in order to gain greater influence on the continent.
The empire, however, exists primarily to protect ordinary people—not everyone has the aptitude for cultivation. A significant portion of the world's population are cultivators, but the vast majority are ordinary people. The empire's existence is precisely to protect these ordinary people.
From this perspective, the empire plays a greater role than sects, and therefore receives more support from the people, who support the empire as a force capable of rivaling sects.
therefore,
Su Yuewan still had to give face to the Empress of the Great Cang Kingdom.
Bai Hao had heard of the Great Cang Kingdom, especially its Empress.
Rumor has it that the Empress of the Great Cang Kingdom is also a great beauty, whose looks are in no way inferior to Su Yuewan's. She was already famous as Su Yuewan hundreds of years ago and is one of the two women that all men in the world want to have.
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Bai Hao had heard many such stories.
So now that he has the opportunity to go to the Great Cang Kingdom and see the Great Cang Empress in person, Bai Hao has absolutely no complaints!
...
After quickly tidying up, Bai Hao arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, a... carriage was already parked at the foot of the mountain?
Su Yuewan changed into a white dress, as pure as snow, and stood quietly to the side. Her long black hair was tied up with a single blue ribbon, and the strands fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy quietly watching over the world from the clouds, so that no one dared to have any presumptuous thoughts.
Upon seeing this, Bai Hao's heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, this woman is so beautiful. No matter when or what she wears, she gives people the feeling of seeing a fairy. Her heart is stirred, but you are also cleansed by her aura that can only be admired from afar and not touched, so you cannot have any impolite thoughts.
Perhaps this is the aura of a sect leader.
"Sect Master, have you been waiting long?" Bai Hao stepped forward and called out softly.
He was afraid that suddenly making too much noise would frighten Su Yuewan.
But Su Yuewan only glanced at him once before getting into the carriage and entering the compartment.
Bai Hao hesitated for a moment, looking at the empty space in front of the carriage with some hesitation.
Does he have to drive the carriage?
But he hasn't tried it yet. What if the horse doesn't listen to him and flips over into the ditch?
But there's no driver now, so we can't exactly ask Su Yuewan to drive, can we?
After hesitating for a while, Su Yuewan's voice finally came from inside the carriage.
"Get in, you don't need to drive the carriage."
"Oh, oh." Bai Hao nodded repeatedly, then got into the carriage.
The moment he stepped onto the carriage, the horse suddenly started moving on its own and began to travel at a...so-so speed.
Bai Hao sat at the front of the carriage, looking at the curtain, hesitated for a moment but still didn't go in.
Since Su Yuewan was alone inside, he certainly couldn't be so rude as to sit in the same carriage as her.
But then Su Yuewan's voice came again: "What are you still doing outside? Don't you want to come in?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao paused for a moment, then obediently lifted the curtain and went inside.
Inside the carriage, a faint, pleasant fragrance lingered.
In the middle of this small carriage, there was a small table with a simple tea set and a pot of tea on it.
Su Yuewan sat cross-legged to one side, watching Bai Hao lift the curtain and come in, without saying a word.
Smelling the familiar fragrance in the carriage, Bai Hao sat down opposite Su Yuewan, placing his hands in front of him, looking obedient, just like a child in front of his parents, not daring to misbehave.
"Pour yourself if you want tea," Su Yuewan said, glancing at him indifferently.
"Oh." Bai Hao nodded, then quickly poured himself a cup of tea, holding the cup and tasting it slowly... It was a little weak.
There probably wasn't much tea in it; it was probably brewed by Su Yuewan herself...
As Bai Hao poured himself tea, Su Yuewan spoke again, saying softly, "The strength of the Great Cang Kingdom in the Southern Region is no less than that of the Divine Sea Sect. It's just that because we are far behind them, there has been relatively little friction between us."
"So, is the Great Cang Empress's invitation to us... a sign of ulterior motives?" Bai Hao asked, holding his teacup and feeling its temperature.
