Two days later, Ye Xiruo changed into a black brocade robe, similar in style to Jing Li's. Silver threads outlined mysterious and intricate patterns, and an exquisite silver belt accentuated her slender waist. The sheer black gauze outer robe reduced the heaviness without sacrificing solemnity. Her thick, long hair was braided into small braids by the skillful Mingxi and tied on top of her head with a silver ribbon. A single strand of hair left framing her face gave Ye Xiruo a touch of ethereal beauty.
Anyway, when Ye Xiruo finished tidying up, little Mingxi was incredibly excited, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement.
When Ye Xiruo went out in this solemn robe, her master was drinking tea in the front hall. His narrow phoenix eyes were filled with a captivating and alluring charm, yet also cold and cruel.
"Ahem, I'm getting old, my hands are shaking a bit." But this outfit and this style of dressing are really perfect for my little apprentice.
Ye Xiruo bent over, her face full of black lines. Now she could see it too. Her master, who usually had a high and mighty kingly image, was actually just like a child, even though his face alone could cause chaos on the continent if it weren't for his astonishing background and strength.
Indeed, many years ago, Jing Li was hailed as "the most beautiful person on the mainland." Until Xiu Qiyu emerged and became "the most beautiful man on the mainland," Jing Li became "the most beautiful person on the mainland."
Enraged by this, Jing Li caused a prolonged period of turmoil on the continent. Many sect leaders and elders who had tolerated their disciples spreading "rumors" were forced to come to the Pill King Hall to apologize. There was no other way; as the Hall Master of the Pill King Hall, if Jing Li cut off a sect's supply of pills, that sect would inevitably decline and be swallowed up.
After the Great Purge ended, far fewer people dared to talk about it openly, but private discussions were still unavoidable.
"Master, you look so beautiful today that your disciple almost fainted."
"Okay, let's go!" Jing Li was in a great mood. How could she not be happy to be praised by her disciple?
"The barrier of Qinglian Heaven is at its weakest at noon today, and no one will let this opportunity slip by."
A massive red divine chariot was pulled through the air by four beautiful unicorns, followed by a neat array of guards, all dressed in bright red, fitted uniforms embroidered with a golden medicine cauldron, symbolizing the Pill King Palace.
Everyone who approached the divine carriage stopped unconsciously, and countless people below prostrated themselves in worship.
Inside the divine carriage, Jing Li lay languidly on a soft couch, her jet-black hair cascading down, breathtakingly beautiful.
"I want to eat oranges."
Ye Xiruo quickly dialed a number and fed him two pieces.
"It's too sour, cut me a few pieces of Tian Shan snow fruit."
Tianshan Snow Fruit is a spiritual fruit that only grows in the far north. Its annual yield is very small, and only someone like the Palace Master can eat it as a snack.
"It tastes good." Jing Li's hands are beautiful, like works of art, and the way she eats is incredibly graceful. No, if this continues, she'll definitely get a heart attack.
"Apprentice, you should try it."
So, they ate and drank their way to the inner edge of the back mountain. Jing Li pulled Ye Xiruo down from the divine carriage. Below, there was a dense crowd of people, and Ye Xiruo almost fell headfirst.
"Your Highness, may you be well." This is terrifying. These people are all here for Master, or rather, they are his followers.
"Get up!" Before the words were finished, a red shadow flashed, and Jing Li had already disappeared with Ye Xiruo in her arms.
"Who is the person in the Palace Master's arms?"
"He's just average-looking, and his skills are incredibly weak." I'm so jealous.
"The Palace Master's lover." (A question mark appears in the original text.)
"You're all wrong. According to the latest news, he is the only personal disciple of the Hall Master, the young Hall Master of the Pill King Hall."
A collective gasp filled the air; this was an earthquake comparable to the emergence of the Azure Lotus Heaven. Jing Li's standards, like his appearance, were despair-inducingly high. Over the years, countless people had sought to become his disciples, yet he had only accepted two nominal disciples. As for his personal disciples, Jing Li declared, "You people are too weak."
"What is this woman's background? Is she the only daughter of the leader of a major sect or the illegitimate daughter of the Taiyan Divine Emperor?"
"Give up! He's just an orphan, I don't know what kind of luck he had."
"Greetings, Palace Master." The others from the Pill King Palace had already made arrangements; the soft couches, tea tables, and fruits made it seem like they were there for a vacation.
Ye Xiruo glanced around and saw that the best spots were almost entirely occupied by major powers. Smaller forces held slightly less desirable locations, while independent cultivators were relegated to even more remote areas. Indeed, this world was still a dog-eat-dog world where strength reigned supreme.
"Little Yezi, did you memorize all the case files from yesterday?"
"That's the Huayin Sect, the one with clouds on the hem of their clothes is the Liuyun Sect, and the group of female cultivators over there is the Huantian Palace. Yi Ruowu should be here soon..."
Before the words were finished, a gasp came from below: "Fairy Yi has arrived! This is her mount, the Azure Phoenix."
Someone has already started scattering flower petals, white roses.
Ye Xiruo raised her head, a hint of majesty on her small face, looking at Yi Ruowu on the Azure Phoenix, the legendary number one beauty on the continent, and the official CP of Brother Xiu Qi.
A light veil veils her face, revealing a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water, seemingly indifferent yet concealing a complex mix of emotions including compassion and profound love. Like the moonlight from heaven, she is pure and ethereal, a sight to behold and transcend the mundane.
The emotions in the eyes of those below were genuine; they deeply respected, admired, and loved this holy fairy. Ye Xiruo felt utterly powerless; such an opponent made it difficult to even muster hatred.
"The Third Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has arrived."
"My God, Ye Liusha's sword intent must be at the third level by now." The person was almost unable to open their eyes due to the piercing sensation.
Just as the legends say, they are cold-hearted and ruthless. The ultimate result of practicing this ruthless sword is destruction. Don't the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect know this? Don't they have a solution?
After disembarking from the Azure Phoenix, Yi Ruowu headed straight for the Illusionary Heaven Palace, where she was surrounded by numerous female disciples and could not be seen.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect happened to be very close to the Pill King Palace. They were all dressed in black robes, holding a sword in their hands, and their facial expressions were remarkably similar, reminding Ye Xiruo of the soldiers in her previous life, who were just as rigid and meticulous as them.
"why are you laughing?"
The harsh voice and the chilling murderous aura made Ye Xiruo's hair stand on end.
"I didn't laugh." Ye Xiruo said with a straight face, pretending to be deep and serious.
Night Sands, a lonely sword.
His eyes seemed to hold nothing but the sword in his arms, even though he looked about the same age as Ye Xiruo.
