Yingzhao Divine Palace, Qiongming Palace, and Yunjie Garden.
A woman in plain clothes, with her hair tied up and draped over her shoulders, and with picturesque features, was sitting in front of a stone platform in the garden, brewing tea. As she moved her white wrists, the fragrance of tea filled the air.
"Your Highness the Goddess." The female immortal servant hurried into the Yunjie Garden and bowed to the woman, saying, "Your Highness the Goddess, the Demon God has ordered me to bring someone to see you."
This woman is none other than Lu Xue, the daughter of the demon god Yingzhao.
Hearing this, Lu Xue just focused on making tea and asked without even looking up, "Whose friend is this?"
The female fairy servant hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's General Chen Jiantang from the Heavenly Court, and the leader of the Yuying clan, Ying Kaixuan..."
Lu Xue's tea-making process froze for a moment. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the fairy servant, "Where is she?"
The female fairy servant pointed outside Yunjie Garden and said, "Wait outside."
Lu Xue quickly stood up and pointed at the tea stove on the stone table and said, "You come and make tea."
"Yes." The female fairy servant quickly added, and then saw Lu Xue walking quickly along the gravel path towards the outside of Yunjie Garden.
The moment Lu Xue walked out of Yunjie Garden, her eyes immediately caught sight of the tall, beautiful and smart woman.
Ying Kaixuan seemed to sense something as well, and she subconsciously looked up towards the moon gate of Yunjieyuan. At this moment, when mother and son met, they both looked at each other for a long time without moving their eyes away.
At this time, Chen Jiantang quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Luxue Goddess."
Lu Xue suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly smiled at Chen Jiantang and said, "No need to be so polite, fellow Daoist."
Chen Jiantang turned around and pointed at Ying Kaixuan and said, "Goddess Luxue, this is..."
"There's no need to introduce myself, fellow Daoist. I know you." Lu Xue said softly, then walked towards Ying Kaixuan.
Ying Kaixuan looked at Lu Xue who was slowly approaching her, and for some reason she suddenly took a step back. Just as she was about to take a second step back, Lu Xue had already grabbed her hands.
Ying Kaixuan's body froze in place as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes and face filled with panic.
Lu Xue looked at the flustered Ying Kaixuan and said softly, "Your grandfather won't let me see you."
These words immediately calmed Ying Kaixuan's flustered mind. She took a deep breath and said, "I've always wanted to see you."
Lu Xue smiled when she heard that, and immediately pulled Ying Kaixuan towards Yunjie Garden, while Chen Jiantang tactfully walked aside to watch the scenery. After seeing Lu Xue and Ying Kaixuan enter Yunjie Garden, he came to the gate of the garden and stood guard.
"Why don't you call me mother?" Lu Xue asked Ying Kaixuan as she pulled her towards the stone table.
Ying Kaixuan glanced back at the courtyard gate and hesitated when she saw that Chen Jiantang hadn't followed her in. However, upon hearing Lu Xue's question, she immediately replied, "Do you recognize me?"
Lu Xue smiled and said, "You are my biological daughter, how could I not acknowledge you?"
"But you are getting married." Ying Kaixuan said.
Lu Xue said, "Even if she gets married, she still has to recognize her daughter. You and he look so much alike."
"Are you talking about Dad? He has passed away." Ying Kaixuan said.
Lu Xue was silent for a moment, then said, "I know. I killed him."
After Lu Xue finished speaking, she took Ying Kaixuan to sit at the stone table, and she sat down on the stone bench next to Ying Kaixuan. Then she asked the female fairy servant to make tea and personally brought it to Ying Kaixuan.
Ying Kaixuan looked at the steaming, spiritual tea in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.
"I've been away from you for too long. I want to take good care of you in the future." Lu Xue said to Ying Kaixuan.
Ying Kaixuan took a sip of the spiritual tea and whispered, "I can take care of myself."
"I want to make it up to you." Lu Xue said.
Ying Kaixuan said: "You gave birth to me and gave me life, you don't owe me anything."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xue stretched out her arms and embraced Ying Kaixuan in her arms. Then, she gently touched her eyebrows with her red lips and whispered softly in her ear, "Mom has missed you so much these years."
Ying Kaixuan collapsed directly into Lu Xue's arms, her face flushed like a ripe apple.
Ying Kaixuan breathed rapidly, and with tears in her eyes she called out, "Mom."
"Yeah." Lu Xue responded.
Ying Kaixuan wiped her tears in Lu Xue's arms, then said, "I don't object to you getting married, but..."
"I know." Lu Xue said softly, "Mother also wants to recognize you."
After saying that, Lu Xue asked curiously, "It's just that Mother is a little confused. Why did your grandfather want you to come see me today?"
"This..." Ying Kaixuan glanced at Lu Xue with red eyes, then said, "It's... True Lord Hongqing."
"Master Hongqing?" Lu Xue asked in surprise, "How come even Master Hongqing has been alarmed by our mother-and-daughter affair?"
Ying Kaixuan recounted his encounter with Fang Jian in the lower realm, and said, "True Lord Hongqing may have shown mercy and come to help me because of our previous encounter."
Lu Xue nodded slightly and said with a smile, "That's fine. Let's see if True Lord Hongqing can persuade that stubborn old grandfather of yours." Then she turned to the female immortal servant beside her and asked, "By the way, where is Han Suxin?"
The female immortal attendant was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Han Zhi... No, Han Suxin was dismissed from her position and imprisoned by True Lord Hongqing for violating the laws of heaven."
"..." Lu Xue was stunned after hearing this. After a while, she looked at Ying Kaixuan in her arms and said, "I'm a little worried about your grandfather again."
...
At this moment, Fang Jian and his group who were drinking tea in the Hualing Hall of Yingxuan Palace were in a happy mood, with no trace of the previous tense atmosphere at all.
This was because there was one more person in Hualing Palace, a person who had just come from the south. He was Lu Xue’s fiancé, the disciple of Nan Ji Xian Weng: Master Yangchuan.
