Chapter 124 Master isn't going to eat you up.
Ye Xuanzhi tried hard to suppress the bulging veins on his forehead. "Ten thousand years ago, the Upper Realm was ruled by the Immortal Palace. However, after the turmoil, the Immortal Palace declined and its rule was not as strong as before, which is why our other factions came into being."
This implicitly acknowledges that the Celestial Palace is the largest power in the Upper Realm.
"What unrest?"
“There are very few records of this turmoil in the Upper Realm. I only know that people call it the ‘Palace Prison Calamity’. It is said to have been done by the illegitimate son of the emperor and empress ten thousand years ago, turning the entire Upper Realm into a purgatory.”
Ye Xuanzhi calmly recounted the history of the Upper Realm, which deeply moved Mu Jianjian. "Then who is in charge of the Immortal Palace?"
"Bai Ji, Immortal Bai."
——
[Host, what are you doing?]
The system watched as its host, as if injected with stimulants, diligently read through the original book the day after meeting Ye Xuanzhi, even taking out a jade slip to depict various character relationships and plot directions, and raised questions.
"You don't understand, this is a network of relationships between characters. That's how it's drawn in TV dramas." Mu Jianjian took a deep breath, took out the topographical map of Jingxu Garden again, and clapped her hands.
[Why did the host put an "X" on the tallest person's face?]
"Bai Ji? You mean Bai Ji?" Mu Jianjian pointed to the little figure she had carved and flicked his head hard.
[Does the host know him?]
Does it remember that none of them recognized him?
“Just hearing that name doesn’t sound good,” Mu Jianjian felt like she’d forgotten something. This was the first time she’d felt so disgusted by someone’s name. “But that’s not important now. What’s important is where they concoct their potions and where they’re in contact with people in the upper realm…”
Cai Hua ignored her, and she was happy to have some peace and quiet. In the past few days, she took advantage of her identity to thoroughly investigate Jingxu Garden. Since there were few people there, it was easy to find out their identities. There was no one connected to the Upper Realm.
Or perhaps the people from the upper realm didn't actually come; they simply sent a message via jade slip.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuanzhi was also carefully inspecting the alchemy workshop, hoping to make a breakthrough in that area.
Hearing someone approaching from outside, Mu Jianjian put away the bamboo slip, and the next second, there was a knock on the door from inside.
"Enter."
"Senior Sister Mu, Cai Zu wants you to wait for her in the backyard." A man dressed in a black robe entered.
After nodding, Mu Jianjian got up and hurried to the backyard.
After Cai Chu, one of the "Five Eccentrics" of Yingzhou, died in the secret realm, his sister Cai Hua took over. Mu Jianjian heard from the disciples in the garden that after taking over, this sister killed and eliminated all the elders who had supported Cai Chu, and indulged in pleasure with male concubines. She was unrestrained and extremely ruthless.
She felt helpless; what was meant to happen would happen eventually.
Thinking of Cai Chu's appearance, she wasn't naive enough to believe that his sister, Cai Hua, had taken her as a disciple because she valued her talent and personality.
Once the internal strife within the Xuan Shuang Sect ended, the Demon Lord of Yingzhou extended an invitation to a banquet. At this time, it was already an illogical move for Jingxu Garden to accept disciples.
It seems they're luring us into a trap, waiting for outsiders to come and capture us all.
In recent days, Mu Jianjian has been using the pretext of investigation to display her wicked nature in front of the other disciples, hoping to clear herself of suspicion. She observed the terrain of the backyard and began to think about her escape route.
"Mu Yuanyuan".
The woman's soft voice came from behind her, and Mu Jianjian was startled, only then realizing that someone was standing behind her.
She quickly turned around and bowed her head, "Master."
Cai Hua exhaled a puff of smoke, watching the white smoke swirl in the air. His eyes narrowed as he looked down at the petite girl. "It's been a while since I've seen you, and you haven't come to visit. Instead, you've used my name to extort a lot of benefits from other gardens. Judging from the way those old men scolded you, you weren't as obedient as you are now."
No one dared to look up at her.
Mu Jianjian: ...
Judging from Cai Hua's tone, she didn't seem angry. Without raising her head, her voice became like a clip, "Master is too handsome. I'm afraid I'll be stunned if I look up."
No!
Of course, it's because they're afraid their acting skills won't be up to par and will be noticed.
Although Cai's paintings are indeed very beautiful.
Before Mu Jianjian could finish speaking, her chin was lifted by the woman, forcing her to look directly into Cai Hua's heavily made-up eyes.
Compared to her aggressive makeup during our last meeting, she seemed more gentle this time, as if she were no longer a glamorous woman, but rather a pampered young lady from a wealthy family.
Her beauty was unparalleled, enough to topple kingdoms.
No!
Why does Cai Chu have such a beautiful younger sister?
Mu Jianjian felt this position was terrible. Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably. She wanted to back away, but the pressure of Cai Hua's Core Formation stage made her unable to move.
"My disciple, don't be nervous. Your master won't eat you up." Seemingly pleased by the blush on the other's face, Cai Hua's voice took on a seductive quality.
