Chapter 418: First Entering Tianxuan Sect
After Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment, her expression became serious.
If it was the wishes of officials and ministers, she didn't care who had more or less, but the emperor...
Doesn't he believe that he is Tian Feng?
No, if he really just doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter.
But Yun Qingqing was very sure that with people of Master Jingyuan and Qingpingzi's status as guarantors, there was no way the emperor would not believe that she was Tianfeng.
The Emperor can't possibly like me so much that he can't provide the power of vows.
That is to say...
The emperor is hostile to him.
Yun Qingqing frowned, wondering why the emperor was hostile to her.
Was it because she took this opportunity to force the emperor to depose the crown prince?
No, Yun Qingqing quickly figured it out. She had once exorcised evil spirits and saved the emperor's life, and also resurrected the commander of his imperial guards, and even caught the real murderer on the spot.
Not to mention, when rumors of the regent's death in battle emerged, he said that he personally went to the northwest border and rescued his most beloved and trusted brother.
Despite all these, the emperor never gave her even a shred of wish power!
This is enough to prove that from beginning to end, he has never had any gratitude or trust in himself!
This discovery made Yun Qingqing feel a chill in her heart.
Recalling the emperor's usual behavior, she suddenly realized that this seemingly frail emperor could be so cunning!
Then...what about him towards Xiao Changheng?
I rescued Xiao Changheng from that desperate situation in the northwest, but the emperor showed no gratitude or trust in him. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't regard Xiao Changheng as his closest and most trusted brother as he seems?
Yun Qingqing looked at the sky outside the window. It was already dawn. The sun rises late in winter, and there were already pedestrians walking on the street.
The time for departure agreed with Qingpingzi was approaching. She pondered for a moment, got up and went back to the palace, heading straight for Xiao Changheng's yard.
Xiao Changheng has always been self-disciplined and used to getting up early. Now he is dressed neatly and having breakfast.
Seeing her suddenly coming, he was slightly startled, raised his hand to have someone move another chair, and gestured:
"Together?"
"No, just eat." Yun Qingqing's cultivation was improving day by day, and now she didn't need to eat much. She shook her head, sat down on the chair, and looked at him.
Xiao Changheng faced her gaze, put down his chopsticks, and looked back:
"What's up?"
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and said:
"I will be away for a few days. During this time, you must be careful. Don't take off the black jade protective pendant I gave you yesterday."
Xiao Changheng nodded:
"You said that yesterday."
Yun Qingqing took a deep breath:
"I also want to remind you...be careful of the emperor."
"Royal brother?"
Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became dim and unclear:
"Why do you say that?"
Yun Qingqing had expected that he would be unhappy, so she spoke carefully:
"Do you remember that when I treated your leg, I tried to trace the source of the evil spirit, but failed?"
Xiao Changheng frowned even more tightly, and did not say a word, waiting quietly for her next words.
Yun Qingqing continued:
"You have extremely strong luck, and you also carry the luck of the country. To successfully cast that curse on you, not only does the caster need to be extremely powerful, but there also needs to be another carrier of similar luck to support you. These two conditions are indispensable."
"So I knew at that time that someone of high status must be involved in this matter, and the most likely person is the royal family."
"After all the bad luck was removed, I used this hexagram to deduce the result, which also proved this point..."
Xiao Changheng interrupted calmly:
"Based on these, you suspect my brother? There are many royal families in the world, why do you only suspect him?"
"It's not just because of these." Yun Qingqing looked straight at him and said, "It's also because after the phantom of the Phoenix appeared in the Fahua Temple, I received countless wishes from the civil and military officials, but not from your royal brother."
Xiao Changheng's expression paused, he lowered his eyes and fell silent.
Yun Qingqing knew that with his sharp mind, he would be able to understand what this meant, so she said no more.
She stood up and spoke more slowly:
"I'm telling you this just in case. I want you to be careful and stay safe these few days. We'll talk about everything after I come back."
Xiao Changheng kept his eyes down and remained silent, without any expression.
Yun Qingqing knew that this was enough, so she turned and left.
When they arrived at the front yard, a servant came to report that Taoist Qingpingzi wanted to see the princess.
Yun Qingqing met and greeted Qing Pingzi, and then the two of them set off directly to Tianxuan Sect.
The Tianxuan Sect was located in the deep mountains hundreds of miles away. Flying on the sword, it only took half a day to arrive.
When the two of them settled outside the mountain gate, Yun Qingqing was somewhat surprised to find that the Tianxuan Sect had actually sent a large group of people to welcome them.
She knew that Qingpingzi had used a message talisman before leaving, but she didn't expect that such a grand welcoming team would be arranged.
Qingpingzi seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled slightly:
"I made this special arrangement to welcome Little Daoist Yun. Are you satisfied?"
Yun Qingqing: "...welcome me?"
She had never thought in this direction. She just thought that the leader just loved to show off and had to make everything so grand whenever he went in and out.
And why did this old Taoist suddenly become so friendly in addressing me?
Qingpingzi chuckled, and before he could say anything else, Qingchenzi came up with a group of elders, with disciples clearing the way on both sides.
"Master, you're back!" Qingchenzi stepped forward and saluted. He glanced at Yun Qingqing again, dusted off his whisk and greeted her, "Miss Yun."
He was actually a little surprised as to why the head brother suddenly sent a message and asked for such a grand ceremony to welcome him back.
However, during this period of waiting, he had some vague guesses.
Last time in the Seven Stars Palace, these people from the Tianxuan Sect suffered a defeat at the hands of Yun Qingqing. I guess the leader wants to give her a warning?
With this in mind, Qingchenzi couldn't help but be arrogant towards Yun Qingqing.
But Qingpingzi frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Pass on my order. Young Daoist Yun is my honored guest. Everyone in the sect must not neglect him."
Qing Chenzi and several elders blushed, feeling shocked and puzzled, but they didn't know what to say, so they just agreed.
Qingpingzi smiled apologetically at Yun Qingqing and said:
"Little Daoist Yun has come from afar. Please take a rest first. I have something important to discuss with you later."
Yun Qingqing thought he was just thinking about Shen Canghuai, so she nodded and followed him to the inner hall to sit for a while.
On the way to the inner hall, she observed the Tianxuan Sect for a while. This place was similar to the Seven Stars Hall, located among the beautiful mountains. The Feng Shui of the sect was excellent, and the spiritual energy was obviously several times richer than outside, which showed that it was blessed by a formation.
The Tianxuan Sect is a Taoist sect that accepts disciples of all genders, including both male and female. All the disciples along the way cast curious or meaningful glances at her, but because the sect leader was present, they did not dare to be too obvious, and when they saw them approaching, they all lowered their heads and avoided them.
When they arrived at the back hall, a young Taoist priest served tea. Yun Qingqing picked up the teacup, looked at the amber tea in the cup, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"This tea is good."
Qingpingzi was slightly stunned.
This tea was a treasure that he had specially ordered someone to bring to Yun Qingqing. He had thought that she would have to drink it to appreciate its beauty, but he didn't expect that she would praise it so much after just taking a look at it.
He couldn't help but ask:
"Little Daoist Yun, do you recognize this tea?"
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"That's not the case. It's just that I see that this tea has an elegant aura and is full of spiritual essence. It's definitely not an ordinary tea."
Qingpingzi understood and was even more amazed:
"You have a very good eye for knowing this just by looking at it."
Yun Qingqing smiled without comment and sipped the tea. It was indeed the best tea she had tasted since she traveled through time. It even gave her the same feeling as the spiritual tea she had tasted in her previous life.
Her mood couldn't help but improve a little, and she spoke more politely:
"Master, actually, I cursed Cang Huai that day because the secrets he was involved in were too serious, and also involved Qingfengzi, Qingxuanzi, and the Pingzhou Six Paths Heavenly Demon Formation. Therefore, I hope to be present to interrogate this person together. I hope Master can understand."
Her words not only gave a reasonable explanation, but also lowered her attitude. Qingpingzi immediately went down the stairs and said with a smile:
"I understand, of course I understand! You will naturally be required to be present during Cang Huai's trial, so there is no rush for this matter."
"Hmm? No rush?" Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
The Taoist master's attitude towards him seemed a bit too polite.
Qingpingzi nodded and said earnestly:
"In fact, the reason I invited you here this time, besides interrogating Cang Huai, is for another matter."
