After I got back, I didn't go anywhere. I just stayed in the study reading. I was thinking that you would come to find me when you were clear-headed.
Who knew you'd think of other things, and even more outrageous ones at that. I really don't know what to say to you.
"No way, so you didn't go to find your confidante? Honestly, you made me happy for nothing. No, no, if you didn't go to find your confidante, why did you run away in Merlin, and why did you run so fast? I've never seen you so flustered before."
"How can I not panic? If you stole something and almost got caught, wouldn't you panic? Do you even know who has jurisdiction over that plum grove?"
"Who else could it be but the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers?"
They even know about the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers; it seems this trip to Langgu has been very fruitful.
Ji Motian shook his head and said
"Of course not. Fairy Langyue died 40,000 years ago. There was no Langgu Plum Forest back then. It is said that Langgu Plum Forest was transformed from Fairy Langyue's spirit. Back then, Langgu Plum Forest was a relatively prosperous place in the Heavenly Realm. However, for some unknown reason, a great fire suddenly broke out 30,000 years ago. After the fire, only that corner of plum blossoms remained."
Previously, the plum grove was managed by the Heavenly Emperor's personal guards, but after that incident, the Heavenly Emperor handed it over to Empress Lian Pianqian.
No one knows what happened before the fire, but the Heavenly Emperor and Taiyi fell out after the fire. The Emperor and Empress were also unusually concerned about the plum grove that had not been burned, and they did not let go of any deity, big or small, who approached the plum grove. Anyone who came near the plum grove would inexplicably become a thorn in the Emperor and Empress's side.
That plum grove seems to hold some secret. And this secret should only be known to the Heavenly Emperor and Empress.
I only took you there yesterday because I was so angry with you that I forgot about it for a moment.
"Oh, so Master, you're so afraid of the Empress."
"What? I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Yes, where's that book on plum blossoms you have? Give it to me."
"What do you want to do? That plum blossom scripture was given to me by Fairy Langyue."
Su Xue looked at Ji Motian and subconsciously protected the plum blossom scripture hidden at her waist.
Ji Motian raised an eyebrow.
"By the way, what did you see there?"
Su Xue lowered her hand from her waist, ate another bite of food, and then arrived.
"Actually, it was nothing much. I just met a beautiful woman who claimed to be the previous Flower Fairy. She gave me a book and a hairpin, and asked me to help her find a man who wore a phoenix pendant. I thought that if I accepted her gift, I would be obliged, so I agreed."
Then I woke up, and you saw what happened next.
Ji Motian nodded thoughtfully.
Thinking back to the fire in Langgu back then, on the surface it was just an ordinary fire, but judging from the reactions of the Heavenly Emperor, the Empress, and Taiyi, something seemed amiss. Furthermore, Yunyi's attitude towards that matter seemed to indicate that he had anticipated this outcome.
It seems there might really be some secret behind that fire.
"You said she asked you to help her find a man, but did she say who he is, where to look for him, and what she wants with him?"
Su Xue shook her head. The Fairy Langyue only said that there was such a person, and knew nothing else.
"She only told me to give him this hairpin." As she spoke, Su Xue took out the plum blossom hairpin.
Ji Motian took the hairpin and examined it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. To be on the safe side, Ji Motian repeatedly told Su Xue to find a secluded place to keep it safe and not let anyone see it.
