The next day.
Yunling Town.
Lotus Garden.
"Xiaoyan, Xiaohua, where are you?"
"Sister Xue, we are here. Sister Xue, you lose again!"
"You guys are really good at hiding. It's my sister who loses."
"Haha, Sister Xue is so stupid!"
Fang Xue was playing hide-and-seek with the children when there was a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was quite violent and sounded unkind.
Fang Xue asked the children to go back to the big house inside, and went out to open the door. She saw more than ten people standing in front of her, all wearing black brocade clothes with a big golden snake coiled around them.
Western Dynasty, Golden Snake Guard.
The imperial flag of the Western Dynasty is a giant golden python. The only ones who can wear a golden snake on their bodies are the Golden Snake Guards directly under the Western Palace.
At this moment, the leader asked Fang Xue, "Do Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe live here?"
Fang Xue nodded.
The man said, "Let them come out, I will ask them a few questions."
Fang Xue said: "They have not been here these days."
The man looked at her and suddenly asked, "Are you Fang Xue, an outer sect disciple of Xiyue Peak of Zhenyang Sect?"
Fang Xue nodded, and the other party said: "I am Liu Shi, the Golden Snake Guard of the Western Dynasty. Fellow Daoist Fang, do you know Si Minglan?"
Fang Xue's eyebrows jumped. She vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, "Si Minglan is my senior sister."
Liu Shi asked again: "Half a year ago, Si Minglan came to Yunling Town and stayed for more than a month. She left for a few days and then returned to Yunling Town. Do you know what she did?"
Liu Shiwen asked during the days when Si Minglan went to assassinate the eldest prince of the Western Dynasty. Fang Xue shook her head:
"I have no idea."
Liu Shi narrowed his eyes and his voice became cold and stern:
"We found out that Si Minglan was seriously injured at the time. The first person she looked for when she returned to Yunling Town was you. How come you didn't know where she went?"
Fang Xue continued to shake her head.
Liu Shi suddenly sneered: "You are not good at lying... catch him!"
This group of Golden Snake Guards all drew out their swords, with light shining on the blades. They were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, and Liu Shi was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Fang Xue held a long sword in her hand and looked at them calmly, her voice clear:
“This is Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu’s house. Don’t break it. Let’s go out and fight.”
Liu Shi said coldly: "It's not up to you!"
After saying that, the tip of the knife shone brightly and chopped towards Fang Xue.
"stop."
A soft and gentle voice sounded, Liu Shi paused, turned around and knelt on one knee. The other Golden Snake Guards also stopped, knelt down towards the person who came, and said in unison:
"The Queen."
Fang Xue looked forward in astonishment, and saw a woman standing there calmly. She had beautiful eyebrows and features, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was wearing an ordinary long dress, but she exuded an elegant and dignified temperament.
Even though the sun was scorching at the moment, the light shining on her body turned into a soft halo, slowly spreading behind her and turning into a golden glow.
The woman stood in the rosy glow, her snow-white skin radiant and her figure graceful and beautiful.
Queen of the Western Dynasty, tenth on the beauty list, Lin Yuan.
The Western Emperor Wu Zheng was a romantic man and had countless beauties in his harem, but even these three thousand beauties combined could not compare to the unparalleled beauty of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan is also the number one master in the Western Dynasty and is said to have already entered the late Nascent Soul stage.
But she had a gentle temperament, was graceful and magnanimous, and never got jealous in the harem, which allowed the West Palace to remain stable for decades.
That’s why there is a saying “Three Thousand Queens in the Harem” on the beauty list.
Of course Fang Xue had also heard of the Queen of the West, but when she saw her now, she suddenly felt that tenth on the beauty list was really low.
Lin Yuan walked slowly in front of her, smiling kindly and speaking softly:
"Friend Fang, Guard Liu was once my eldest son's personal bodyguard. He was not with me when he was assassinated, so I am anxious to catch the murderer. Please forgive me."
Fang Xue didn't expect the famous Queen West to be so polite. She quickly bowed and saluted:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't have to be polite. I really don't know where Si Minglan went."
Lin Yuan smiled: "I see. Sorry for bothering you today."
After saying that, he nodded to Fang Xue and left with the Golden Snake Guards.
Looking at her dignified and elegant back, Fang Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Queen West, so beautiful."
"Empress, this Fang Xue must be closely connected to Si Minglan. We will definitely be able to find clues from her."
Liu Shi followed Lin Yuan, still feeling a little unwilling.
Lin Yuan's voice was still gentle: "Si Minglan has been found."
Liu Shi was startled and asked quickly, "Where is she?"
Lin Yuan said calmly: "As soon as she arrived at Feiyun City, Si Mingcheng was already waiting for her."
"Si Mingcheng?" Liu Shi felt relieved when he heard this name:
"It was Si Mingcheng who turned from evil to good and exposed the crimes of the General's Mansion in collusion with foreign enemies. It was also he who suggested that Si Minglan be sent to the Jiaofang Bureau. Now it is appropriate for him to go and capture Si Minglan."
Lin Yuan glanced at him sideways, cold sweat broke out on Liu Shi's forehead, and he quickly bowed and said:
"I have spoken out of turn."
Lin Yuan looked up at the sky, the sunlight shining on her dignified and bright face.
"The eldest prince's behavior was unprovoked, but his crime does not deserve death. The person who killed him should pay with his life."
…
Feiyun City.
"Wow, it's so lively!"
"There are fairies flying everywhere!"
"Sister Si, look, that mountain is so big, even bigger than our Yunzhu Mountain!"
Yunxing, Yunyan and Yunyu were looking around excitedly. Si Minglan pointed at the towering mountains in the distance and said:
"That's Feiyun Mountain. If everything goes well, you will be able to practice there soon."
Like the Zhenyang Sect, the Feiyun Sect also has a huge city with the same name.
However, the Feiyun Sect's skills are different from those of the Zhenyang Sect. They are better at flying and hiding underground, so Feiyun City is full of flying cultivators.
A man in green appeared in front of him and bowed to Si Minglan:
"Senior Sister Si, I am the deacon disciple of Feiyun Sect, Zheng Mulin."
Si Minglan also bowed to him: "Junior Brother Zheng, long time no see."
Zheng Mulin smiled, with a sad look on his face: "Yes, the last time I saw Senior Sister was when Senior Sister Yin and I went to the Northern Wasteland together..."
The "Senior Sister Yin" he mentioned was the female spirit corpse beside Mo Sha.
The female spirit corpse was killed by Qin Gengyun and others. Before she died, she gave a jade pendant to Si Minglan, which was the token of love between her and her junior brother.
And this junior fellow apprentice is Zheng Mulin.
On the way, Si Minglan sent a letter to Zheng Mulin, telling him that she had found Yin Qiaoqin's relics.
Seeing his miserable expression, Si Minglan took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Zheng Mulin:
"Junior Brother Zheng, I'm sorry."
Zheng Mulin took the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly reddened, and his voice trembled: "Thank you, Senior Sister Si!"
Then he said gratefully: "I have a house in Feiyun Sect. I have set up a banquet. Please move over, Senior Sister Si. Tomorrow I will bring the three friends to meet Master."
Si Minglan nodded: "Thank you."
"plz follow me."
Zheng Mulin led the way. Si Minglan suddenly squeezed Yun Xing's hand. Yun Xing understood and immediately pointed at a candied haws seller in the distance and shouted:
"Sister Si, I want to eat candied haws!"
Yunyan and Yunyu were startled and shouted, "Sister Si, I want to eat candied haws too!"
Si Minglan apologized to Zheng Mulin, "These kids are greedy. Junior Brother Zheng, wait a moment. I'll take them to buy some candied haws."
Zheng Mulin smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you here."
Si Minglan brought the three children to the candied haws stall, and Yun Xing suddenly said:
"Sister Si, why did you ask me to lie?"
