After saying that, he turned and left.
Su Qingyan immediately stood up, gave Yun Miao a strange look, and said, "Let's go!"
Then the two of them followed the saint and got off the boat together.
Suddenly, a huge gray wolf jumped out excitedly from the cabin next to it.
"Emperor Qing!" Su Qingyan called out.
However, when Di Qing was about to approach, the saint glanced at it lightly, and it immediately calmed down and stopped running. It could only follow the team's elegant pace and get off the boat.
Yun Miao, who was standing next to him, looked at Di Qing and secretly wanted to stroke his hair, but Di Qing was just about to jump off the boat.
Yun Miao slapped Di Qing on the butt.
Yun Miao: “…”
Di Qing landed and turned around to glance at Yun Miao. Knowing it was her, he remained calm and did not get angry.
Little did he know that this scene was just seen by the saint who got off the boat.
Even if everything before was just his own conjecture, a beast like the Emperor Qing could only truly submit to a master whose soul was in tune with his own, and this required decades of emotional cultivation. Even with her, he was only obedient in appearance; truly obeying her orders was absolutely impossible.
So when Di Qing saw Yun Miao's little action, he didn't feel any disgust.
The saint became even more certain that Yun Miao was not simple.
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, the Saint Lady's tone towards Yun Miao softened considerably. She even smiled, a rare sight, and said, "Miss Yun, could you please come with me to the Soul Palace?"
"Me?" Yun Miao was puzzled. Wouldn't this saint think of other ways to kill her?
And he had such a creepy smile.
But he didn't know that the maids beside him had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Are they seeing things?
The Saint...the Saint Lady...actually smiled!!!
"That's right. After all, this is your first time in the Immortal Palace, so you must be very curious about it. The Soul Palace is the core of the Immortal Palace. Don't you want to visit it?" The saint was very kind.
The maids were horrified.
How could their Saint suddenly become a completely different person? She actually invited a mere mortal to a place like the Soul Palace!
You must know that except for people of the same status as the Saint and the Ten Elders, no one else is allowed to approach the Soul Palace, let alone enter it.
Yun Miao smiled curiously and happily: "Thank you very much for the hospitality, Saint."
You’ll see whether it’s black or white.
Beneath the smiling faces of Yun Miao and the Saint, they both had completely different inner monologues.
The villain in the saint's heart frowned: I don't know if I offended anyone at the beginning. No, the Immortal Palace must not provoke such an existence.
Her expression suddenly changed, and then she revealed a gentle and polite demeanor: "The statement that you wanted to take my life was a misunderstanding. The Immortal Palace has always been tolerant of the world and would never kill innocent people."
Su Qingyan: ???
When Yun Miao heard this, he immediately slapped the person next to him, Qingyan, and whispered, "You were just trying to scare me, kid. I think this Saint is pretty good!"
Su Qingyan: “…”
If he had not personally experienced the ruthlessness and cruelty of the Saint, he would have believed these heartfelt words.
But as a saint, she never deceived Yun Miao, an ordinary person. Why?
"In that case, I would be honored to receive your invitation." Yun Miao said with a smile.
Hearing this, the expressions of many maids were extremely strange.
What happened to the Saint today?
First, his attitude changed drastically. Not only did he laugh, but he also invited this ant to the Soul Palace?
Although Yun Miao followed the Saint to the Soul Palace, Su Qingyan was not at ease because Yun Miao was still useful to him.
But when the Saint's eyes looked at him, they returned to an extremely cold state, as if they were freezing him to death: "Does the Crown Prince of Xiliang want to come too?"
"No...um, I took the wrong road." Qingyan turned around hurriedly and followed a maid in another direction.
Just like that, I watched Yun Miao follow the Saint's figure farther and farther away until she disappeared among the flowers.
Soul Palace.
After receiving the words from the Saint, the ten elders all gathered in the Soul Palace.
At this time, ten old men in white clothes with white beards of varying heights were gathered together and chattering:
The Third Elder looked at the leading Great Elder in confusion: "Why did the Saint suddenly want us to come to the Soul Palace? Great Elder, what big event happened in the Immortal Palace?"
The Great Elder pondered for a moment in silence and then shook his head: "No."
"I was just about to go into seclusion, but when I heard that the Saint was going to open the Soul Palace, I came here immediately. Unless there is something important, the Saint usually won't let us gather in the Soul Palace. Could it be..." The second elder stroked his beard, hesitating to speak.
"I know." Suddenly, the Fourth Elder said with a smile, "The Saint's goal has always been to restore the world to its original state. She is currently intervening in the war with Xiliang. Is her sudden return related to the war?"
"That shouldn't be the case. There's no need to use the Soul Palace! This Soul Palace is used to protect the artifact, and our duty is to wait for the day when the seal can be opened. As the guardian of the seal, the Saint should know the importance of the Soul Palace. Without information about the seal, she should not open the Soul Palace." The fifth elder was puzzled.
As he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on a huge diamond-shaped stone in the hall.
The stone stands upright, with distinct edges and corners, and is so translucent that you can see the fine dark lines inside. From the outside, it looks no different from ordinary carved jade.
The Sixth Elder sighed as he circled the stone, "The artifact has been sealed within the Spirit Realm Stone for a hundred years, and now it's just a decoration. This old man hasn't seen it change since he was a child. Although the meager spiritual energy within us in the Immortal Palace can extend our lifespans by a hundred years and increase our strength, compared to the power of the Spirit Realm Stone, it's still like an ant. I'm afraid this seal won't last even for a thousand or ten thousand years."
"Indeed, mortals are everywhere, but those who possess spiritual power are few and far between. However, it is said that only those who are qualified to become the owner of the Spirit Realm Stone can ignore the seal and subdue it." The Seventh Elder sighed.
The Eighth Elder laughed heartily. "Seventh Elder, our Immortal Palace has been waiting for a master like this. If we had one earlier, the Immortal Lord position wouldn't have remained vacant. I'm sure the Saintess has long been disheartened. She's eager to find a powerful spiritual master to forcibly break the seal. It's said that once the seal is broken, an endless supply of spiritual energy will be hatched from the Spirit Realm Stone. This spiritual energy can nourish the entire Immortal Palace, which is also very beneficial."
"The leakage of spiritual power is too dangerous. If the existence of the fairy palace is discovered by other hidden tribes with powerful spiritual power, we may not be able to defend the spiritual realm stone. Moreover, with our qualifications, we can only absorb a few strands of leaked spiritual power. But waiting for the emergence of the fairy master will be a blessing for the entire fairy palace. Don't be short-sighted..." The ninth elder shook his head.
