Chapter 290 Yes, I really hate him!
The following morning, at the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Kingdom, in the residence of the Grand Preceptor.
Jiang Qingyi slowly opened her eyes.
The woman sat up from the bed, a strand of hair brushing against her fair cheek.
Looking out the window, the woman's sleepy eyes gradually cleared.
After getting out of bed and changing her clothes, Jiang Qingyi washed up briefly and then left the room.
Sitting in the courtyard, as usual, she felt the spring breeze and looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
In the Imperial Preceptor's residence, not a single palace maid served Jiang Qingyi, mainly because Jiang Qingyi preferred to be alone.
Whether at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Jiang Qingyi often sits for an entire day.
However, after arriving at the Zhou Kingdom's palace, Jiang Qingyi would often wander around the palace.
When he practiced swordsmanship, Jiang Qingyi would go to the Daoist altar and often watch from the sidelines.
Just like three thousand years ago, when he watched himself practice swordsmanship.
The only difference is that three thousand years have passed, and he and I are no longer master and disciple.
"Sect Master, you're looking for me?"
Just as Jiang Qingyi's thoughts were drifting away...
Sword Attendant Qiuye approached the woman and bowed with his sword in hand.
Qiu Ye was summoned by Jiang Qingyi today.
"Um."
Jiang Qingyi nodded and slowly began to speak.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the coronation ceremony of the Empress in Zhou will not be held for the time being. There is no use for you and Elder Huang to be here. You two should go back first."
For the past thousand years, you have been with me, and you have handled many affairs of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
After you return, you will assume the position of Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in my stead.
You are in charge of all affairs. If you have any major concerns and are unsure how to proceed, then come to me.
Qiu Ye lowered her head and remained silent.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Qingyi turned to look at Qiu Ye.
Qiu Ye organized her thoughts, bit her red lips, and slowly asked, "Is Sect Master really not going back to the Myriad Swords Sect?"
“There are two women who are causing trouble, so I won’t be going back for now,” Jiang Qingyi shook her head.
"A woman even the sect leader finds troublesome?" Qiu Ye asked in surprise.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Jiang Qingyi glanced at Qiu Ye. "Besides, after you return to the Myriad Swords Sect this time, you will need to do three things for me."
"Please speak, Master, and I will do my utmost."
"The first thing I need is a Three Lives Three Worlds Pill. This pill can only be refined by the Nine-Tailed Kingdom, which is under the rule of the demon race. Go find the ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom. Do whatever conditions she sets for you if you can do them. If you can't, send me a message by flying sword and I will take care of it. Do you understand?"
"This servant has remembered."
Qiuye nodded.
Qiuye was puzzled, her small hands clutching her sleeves, her eyes darting left and right as she looked down, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Although Qiu Ye is a sword servant, his perspective has been no less than that of an ordinary person after following Jiang Qingyi for so many years.
This Three Lives Three Worlds Pill can awaken all of a person's memories from three lifetimes.
Here's the problem.
Whose memories does the Sect Master intend to awaken?
Could it be the son of the Zhou king?
The more Qiuye thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, the patriarch treated the Zhou emperor so well, even taking the initiative to enter the palace as the national advisor.
The sect leader even gifted him a longsword that he had personally forged!
But who exactly is the Zhou king to the overlord?
Is he that important to the sect leader?
"The second thing is for you to help me collect all the deeds of Bai Ruxue, the Lord of the Four Seas, whether they are official history or unofficial history, I want them all."
Jiang Qingyi continued.
"The last thing is that I remember seeing a record in an ancient book that said that within 200,000 years after the ancient times, all human emperors were able to cultivate."
These two hundred thousand years are known as the golden age of the human emperor.
There was an ancient state at that time, also called the Qin state.
In the ancient Qin Kingdom, a female emperor emerged, completely ending the era of human emperors. After her, no human emperor could cultivate.
Go and find out all the legends and deeds of that empress, compile them, and give them to me.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Although Qiuye didn't know why the sect leader wanted the historical materials about the ruler of the four seas and the legend of the ancient Qin empress, she could only do as he said.
"Alright, go ahead," Jiang Qingyi said calmly.
"Qiuye will certainly live up to the Sect Master's expectations!" Qiuye bowed deeply, glanced at the Sect Master one last time, and turned to leave.
After Qiu Ye left, Jiang Qingyi continued to sit.
She looked in the direction of the Daoist altar and noticed that Xiao Mo was not practicing his sword today, and she didn't know what he was doing.
He promised to give me a sweet osmanthus cake, but when I went there at noon, he still hadn't brought it over.
Unbeknownst to them, the sun gradually moved westward, the sunset faded, and night fell, but Xiao Mo still hadn't arrived.
"Hmph! Men!"
Just as Jiang Qingyi was filled with anger and about to go find Xiao Mo to ask him why he broke his promise, there was a knock on the door of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.
"Enter!"
Jiang Qingyi called out to the door, her tone displeased.
The mansion gate was pushed open.
Wei Xun respectfully handed a millstone-sized box and a jar of wine to his emperor.
After Xiao Mo entered the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Wei Xun quickly closed the door and walked away, not daring to disturb him.
“I thought His Majesty had forgotten.” Jiang Qingyi turned her head to the side.
Knowing that Fairy Jiang might be angry, Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Since I promised Fairy Jiang, I naturally couldn't forget. However, the osmanthus cake I gave to Fairy Jiang was not an ordinary one. Therefore, it was a little late. Please forgive me, Fairy."
"What's the difference?"
Jiang Qingyi still didn't turn her head.
But in reality, the moment Xiao Mo walked into the courtyard, half of the woman's anger inexplicably dissipated.
"I hired the most famous pastry chef in the capital to teach me how to make this myself." Xiao Mo smiled, cut a piece for Jiang Qingyi, and asked, "Would you like to try it, Fairy?"
"It must taste terrible." Although Jiang Qingyi said this, she still took the osmanthus cake and took a small bite.
"How is it?" Xiao Mo asked.
"It tastes awful."
Jiang Qingyi turned her head and said.
Xiao Mo: "."
"It's barely edible, though." Jiang Qingyi took another bite.
Seeing her insincere expression, Xiao Mo smiled, poured her a glass of wine, and sat down next to her.
The two of them ate osmanthus cake, drank wine, and looked at the starry sky.
Although the two did not exchange any words, they did not feel the slightest bit awkward.
"Does Miss Jiang really like osmanthus cake?" After a long while, Xiao Mo asked curiously.
"I don't like to eat it," Jiang Qingyi said, "but there's someone who likes to eat it, so I started eating it too, and gradually I got used to it."
"What kind of person is Fairy Jiang's friend?" Xiao Mo asked, trying to find a topic of conversation.
"This person often disregards his image, can't even take care of himself, and is always thinking about others, never considering himself. Moreover, he is a liar, the biggest liar in the world."
"Does Fairy Jiang dislike him?"
Don't you like it?
Jiang Qingyi gazed at the stars in the night sky, her eyes gently shimmering.
After a long while, the woman turned her head and looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes.
"Yes, I really hate him!"
