Li Muge knew very well.
Cultivating immortality is her dream, and she is determined to become a disciple of the Ziyang Palace.
But she is now the Regent's wife.
The regent is so good to her, should she tell him the truth?
To be honest.
What if the regent forbids her from going and even locks her up?
Li Muge, clutching the Regent's cloak, paced back and forth in front of the Regent's gate several times.
But she still hadn't made up her mind, and prepared to spin around a few more times.
"Li Muge, are you planning to spin yourself until you're dizzy and then frame me?"
Yun Qi's voice was low and deep.
This gave Li Muge a jolt.
"No, Regent, I'm here to return the cloak."
"Hmm, then why aren't you coming in yet?"
"Oh, okay, Your Majesty." Li Muge nodded obediently and instinctively.
"Squeak_"
Push open the door.
Li Muge stood awkwardly in front of the Regent, clutching her cloak.
Yun Qi was still fiddling with walnuts in his hand, and gave Li Muge a haughty glance: "Put down your cloak, you can leave now."
"Hmm, no." Li Muge thought of the matter of cultivating immortality and hurriedly shook her head.
After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lip and finally made up her mind.
"Your Highness, there is something I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Yun Qi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his hand, which was playing with walnuts, paused. He thought Li Muge was going to tell him about killing the female ghost.
Yun Qi was also surprised.
Unexpectedly, Li Muge, who seemed so silly and dull, was so ruthless and decisive.
I underestimated her before.
He was just a vengeful ghost.
For Yun Qi, it wasn't a matter of losing an eyesore.
I really don't understand why this woman is so nervous.
Li Muge gripped the cloak so tightly that his fingernails almost picked out the gold thread on it.
"Speak your mind." Yun Qi merely raised his eyes, and Li Muge immediately stopped, instinctively standing at attention for the Regent.
"Your Majesty, I wish to become a disciple of the Ziyang Palace and cultivate immortality."
After Li Muge finished speaking as if facing certain death, he expected the Regent to be furious and disagree.
Or perhaps they would mock or ridicule her for overestimating her abilities.
The atmosphere froze.
Yun Qi put down the walnuts and scrutinized him: "If I disagree, what will you do, Li Muge?"
“Even if the Regent disagrees, I’m going. You can’t stop me, Regent.” Li Muge’s nervousness subsided, and she met Yun Qi’s gaze with unwavering determination.
But it's clear that the two of them are not on the same wavelength.
Li Muge was filled with anxiety, wondering if she could win the Regent's approval.
Yun Qi was surprised that Li Muge trusted him so much; she must have feelings for him.
"Alright, I agree. As long as you can enter Ziyang Palace through your own abilities, I will not stop you."
"Thank you, Regent, you're so kind." Li Muge bowed to Yun Qi with a beaming smile, seemingly afraid that he might change his mind, and then quickly ran out of the house.
Yun Qi sighed. Oh well, he didn't like Li Muge anyway, so he'd just consider this compensation for Li Muge's genuine affection for him.
The registration location for Ziyang Palace was chosen at the Tower of Babel.
The Tower of Babel was built on the highest mountain peak in the Eastern Luo Kingdom.
To enter the Tower of Babel.
Ordinary people who register are not allowed to ride in any sedan chairs; they must climb up on foot.
Most of those who signed up were children of the powerful and wealthy.
Of course, there were also ordinary people.
If one possesses magical power, one can become an immortal and live forever.
It is a dream that countless people would never even dare to imagine.
Li Wanqing and the Sun siblings were also among them.
Sun used his connections to find a disciple of Ziyang Palace and obtained a pill from him.
After being given the medicine, Sun Cai immediately woke up, without any pain or discomfort.
He is a completely normal person.
This incident made the Sun family realize even more that if they could produce someone who had achieved success in the path of immortal cultivation, it would definitely be of great help to the family.
Therefore.
The Sun family immediately sent Sun Lianyi and Sun Cai to register. If the two of them could successfully enter the Ziyang Palace, it would be considered a stroke of good luck for their ancestral graves.
"It's so hot, brother, my feet hurt so much." Sun Lianyi, a pampered young lady, could barely keep going after climbing only a little over half the mountain.
Other applicants couldn't help but sit on the ground to rest.
Li Wanqing took out her water bottle and gave it to Sun Lianyi: "Lianyi, have some water. Cultivating immortality requires perseverance. I think this is also the reason why the elders set the registration point at the Tower of Babel."
Sun Cai nodded after hearing Li Wanqing's words, his gaze falling on her, and he couldn't help but admire her.
Li Muge's younger sister was stunningly beautiful and well-educated.
If his betrothal had been to Li Wanqing instead of Li Muge, he certainly wouldn't have gone out to find other women.
This caused the people of the capital to gossip about him.
Sun Lianyi was moved: "Sister Wanqing, you are such a kind person, unlike Li Muge, who is a shrew. Such a fierce and unchaste woman. It's a good thing my brother didn't marry her."
Li Wanqing was eager for Sun Lianyi to say more bad things about Li Muge to everyone around them.
From childhood to adulthood, the feeling she enjoyed most was trampling Li Muge under her feet.
But on the surface, she still pretended to be gentle and demure.
“Lianyi, my sister is actually a really nice person. It’s just that you may not know her well enough.”
"Sister Wanqing, I understand that you are a kind person, which is why you are so forgiving."
Sun Lianyi was so angry that she refused to drink water, and her hair was still hurting from being pulled by Li Muge.
"That Li Muge is a shrew, unfaithful to her husband. She's engaged to my brother, yet she dares to seduce the Regent."
Just as Li Muge climbed up, she overheard Li Lianyi's words.
A fire suddenly ignited in my heart.
He grabbed Li Lianyi by the back and pulled her up from the rock where she was resting.
He slapped her hard across the face.
"Brother, Sister Wanqing, help me, save me!" Sun Lianyi cried uncontrollably.
Sun Cai was also furious when he saw his sister being humiliated like this.
"Li Muge, what are you doing? How dare you bully my sister like this! It's too much!"
"Yes, elder sister, let go of Miss Sun, don't embarrass the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion."
While outwardly offering advice, Li Wanqing was inwardly wondering why Li Muge was here.
A fool like her marrying the Regent should be living like a dog in the Regent's palace.
I also want to sign up for the cultivation of immortality.
That's just wishful thinking.
"Whose face are you losing? Li Wanqing, are you out of your mind? This woman is the one who acted shamelessly first, daring to talk badly about people behind their backs. I'm just teaching her a lesson, how is that losing face?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on them, Sun Cai quickly spoke up to persuade her, "Li Muge, even if my sister is in the wrong, I'll apologize on her behalf. Please let her go."
"Since everyone signed up today, it wouldn't be good if the elders didn't notice us sign-ups and we caused trouble, right?"
Sun Cai's words successfully persuaded the onlookers to join his side.
After all, who wouldn't want their application to Ziyang Palace affected by someone else's fight or trouble?
