Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The lightning wound on Cen Biqing's body had almost healed under the treatment of Baicaoyuan. Two fairies from the heavenly court were carefully helping Cen Biqing walk down the jade steps of the Baicaoyuan palace gate.
Yi Shuo, the Medical Immortal of Baicaoyuan, escorted Cen Biqing out of the palace and instructed her, "Master Xuan Jing, take good care of your injuries when you return. Try not to practice cultivation. The thunder power within you hasn't completely dissipated yet. If you force yourself to practice cultivation and cause a conflict, the gains will outweigh the losses."
Upon hearing this, Cen Biqing turned around and bowed to Yi Shuo, saying, "Thank you, Master Yi Shuo, for your wonderful healing method. I am deeply grateful."
Yi Shuo waved his hand and said with a smile, "A doctor's duty is to save the world with compassion. Master Xuan Jing has no need to thank you."
At this point, Yi Shuo continued, "According to the decree of Emperor Hongqing, my Baicao Academy will soon be moving to Central Juntian along with the Taixuan Bureau. If Master Xuanjing has any concerns, you can come to Central Juntian to find me."
Cen Biqing smiled and said, "Okay."
At this time, Yi Shuo looked at the two fairies beside Cen Biqing. There were no fairies in Baicaoyuan, only disciples of the Medical Fairy like them, and these two fairies were obviously sent by Emperor Hongqing.
Yi Shuo asked the two fairies, "Are you two Daoists going to send Master Xuan Jing back to Duanjie Mountain?"
The two fairies shook their heads, and then the fairy on the left said, "Emperor Hongqing sent the two of us here to take care of Master Xuan Jing in Daluo Heaven."
The fairy on the right said with a playful smile, "We also want to go down to the mortal world, but the law won't let us."
From the expressions of the two fairies, it could be seen that they were indeed longing for the lower world. Yi Shuo smiled faintly and said, "What good is there in the mortal world? It's better to stay in the tranquility of Daluo Heaven."
Cen Biqing also smiled and shook her head. At this moment, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a familiar figure wandering stealthily in the shade of the trees outside Baicao Garden.
Cen Biqing's face darkened, and he immediately shouted, "What are you doing sneaking around there? Aren't you afraid that the heavenly soldiers will catch you?"
Xu Hongyuan then tiptoed up to Cen Biqing and called out, "Master," with his head lowered.
Cen Biqing snorted coldly, then said, "Follow me back to the mansion."
Xu Hongyuan said, "Master, my uncle has arranged for you to have a royal carriage and heavenly soldiers and generals to escort you back to the lower realm."
Yi Shuo, who was standing nearby, was curious when he heard this and asked, "Who is your uncle? The imperial carriage of the Heavenly Court can't be arranged by just anyone."
The two fairies who had been serving Cen Biqing for many days said with envy, "Medical Fairy Yishuo, this Taoist friend Xu's uncle is Emperor Hongqing."
Yi Shuo's eyebrows suddenly raised when she heard this. She didn't expect that the relationship between Lingxia Xuanjing Zhenren and Emperor Hongqing was so deep, which made her a little envious.
As they were talking, everyone heard a ray of light slowly spreading across the immortal road outside, followed by a team of heavenly soldiers accompanying a royal carriage.
The imperial carriage was in full order, with a celestial general at the front, riding a green dragon horse with a golden saddle and a brocade whip, wearing a golden helmet and armor, a sword hanging from his waist, and a staff in his hand.
Behind the heavenly general were two heavenly soldiers, each holding a banner in their hands. On the left banner was written 'The Heavenly Court conferred the title of Lingxia Xuanjing Zhenren', and on the right banner was written 'The Heavenly Majesty is Strict, and No One Will Be Pardoned for Violating the Law'.
Then came the two heavenly soldiers, and two fairies followed on the left, right, and rear of the carriage. They were dressed in spiritual and ethereal clothes. The two in front each held a "red gauze lantern", the two fairies on the left each held a "pair of red paper lanterns", the two fairies on the right each held a pair of "brocade fish lanterns", and the last two fairies each held a "spiritual fairy longevity fan".
Then there are the heavenly soldiers on the periphery, and in the middle there is a large carriage, which is the imperial carriage. The fairies and heavenly soldiers on the periphery are all holding "guards of honor".
The ceremonial objects held by the heavenly soldiers include: four purple silk square umbrellas, four red silk square umbrellas, two yellow silk curved-handle embroidered umbrellas (decorated with silver bells), three pairs of golden clubs, three pairs of single-dragon halberds, ten pairs of halberd cloaks, and one flag each for silence and tranquility.
Cen Biqing and Xu Hongyuan were both stunned when they saw the ceremonial procession. Even Xu Hongyuan, who had been an immortal official for Erlang Shen and Xitian Palace for so long, had never seen an immortal traveling with a ceremonial procession.
The ceremonial guards of the Heavenly Court are very special. Only a big boss at the level of the Emperor can bestow them. Otherwise, for example, Erlang Shen, Nezha, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Four Heavenly Kings... they can only ride on Pegasus or travel with the ordinary ceremonial guards they have.
Fang Jianze had already experienced a ceremonial procession once. That was when he had just taken office as the God of Duanjie Mountain. It seemed that it was the Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady, who was the Grand Emissary of Taixuandu Province at the time, who gave him the ceremonial procession to take him to the office.
"This..." Cen Biqing frowned and said, "Is it necessary to be so extravagant when I am just returning home from the lower realm?"
"Extravagance?" The two fairies beside Cen Biqing said, "That's not extravagance at all. You haven't seen the Emperor in action yet. That's what we call 'grand ceremony and majestic majesty'!"
At this moment, the general dismounted, came before Cen Biqing, bowed, and said, "Heavenly General Huang Wen, in compliance with the order of Emperor Hongqing, prepare the imperial carriage and escort Master Lingxia Xuanjing back to his palace."
After saying this, Huang Wen bowed again and said, "Please invite Master Xuan Jing to ascend the throne."
Cen Biqing was still hesitating, but the fairies on both sides of her had already helped her walk towards the imperial carriage. After Cen Biqing boarded the carriage, the two fairies bid farewell to Cen Biqing. Cen Biqing also bowed to the two fairies in return and gave them two 50,000-year-old elixirs to thank them for their meticulous care over the past few days.
The two female fairies refused to accept it, but Cen Biqing insisted on giving it to them. Finally, Yi Shuo persuaded them and the two female fairies thanked her and accepted it.
