Yu Youhan was in no mood to argue, suppressing her anger, she said, "Where’s that paperman? Bring it here for to see."
"Here it is."
Ye Zi’e presented the paperman.
Yu Youhan reached out to take it, and after a brief examination, her eyebrows furrowed.
"It is indeed the Dao Power of the Green Jade Scripture."
"To have refined a paper puppet in a single breath shows that he has mastered this cultivation technique."
Originally, she handed the Green Jade Scripture and Azure Darkness Seal to Chen Mo less than three months ago.
This cultivation technique is at the pinnacle of magic cultivation, with a difficulty far exceeding most Heaven Rank magic techniques. Even if Chen Mo’s talent is extraordinary, to fully grasp it in such a short ti is rather remarkable.
Unless it’s Dual Cultivation...
"This paperman is sowhat different from the one used in Fengmu County Governnt."
"Not only is its ability much weaker, but there are subtle differences in the refinent thod, unlike it was made by the sa person, perhaps soone gifted it to him..."
"So..."
"That vixen who caused chaos, leading to be embarrassed in front of the Empress a while ago... is Ji Lianxing?"
A First-grade Sorcerer, a master of Paper Puppet Technique, practicing the sa cultivation technique as Chen Mo, which more easily leads to Dao Power fluctuations...
It all aligns perfectly!
Yu Youhan’s gaze flickered uncertainly.
She knew that over the years, Ji Lianxing had been traveling around, never giving up on revenge, but she never took it seriously.
Unexpectedly, the other party dared to go to such lengths?
"I haven’t even settled the matter of casting the curse on Chen Mo, and now you’re using the beauty trap?"
"To dare to covet my man, it seems you really have a death wish!"
Feeling the nearly tangible tension in the air, Ye Zi’e’s face turned pale, she hung her head low, not daring to speak.
Thinking of the scene in the mirror earlier, where she saw herself stacking up high with the Empress, while Chen Mo checked her educational background, she couldn’t help but feel disconcerted.
"Could this be my opportunity to break through to Grandmaster?"
"If I really did that, I might get slapped to death by the Empress..."
...
...
Tiandu City.
lody Avenue, The Cloudwater Hall.
The red lanterns on the door were already taken down, indicating it was temporarily closed to guests.
Since Chen Mo and Assistant Minister of Rites Feng Jinyu had an understanding, The Cloudwater Hall beca a "no man’s land", operating solely based on Yu’er’s mood, with the higher-ups not taking a single penny.
Except for not being able to easily leave the Imperial Music Bureau, they were essentially no different from ordinary people.
At this mont, all the tables and chairs in the tavern were removed, and several ditation mats were placed on the floor, with the Xu Family mbers sitting cross-legged, practicing cultivation.
Ji Lianxing stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over them.
Pa——
She flicked a stone onto a distracted girl, causing cries of pain to rise up.
"Focus your spirit and calm your breath, guard your Dantian."
"If even ditating is so careless, you might as well go back to doing chores!"
"Yes!"
Everyone’s hearts tightened.
Thinking of those dark days, they dared not slack off in the slightest, concentrating entirely on circulating the cultivation technique.
Feeling the increasingly vigorous aura emanating from Yu’er and the others, Ji Lianxing nodded with satisfaction.
"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill from Daoist Venerable indeed works wonders; their foundational bone was already good, and after tempering, it has risen another level."
"Especially Yu’er and Liu Miaozhi, who are about to break through to Fifth Grade."
"When Chen Mo returns, it definitely will be a pleasant surprise for him; maybe when he’s in a good mood, he’ll slip a silver note... hehehe..."
As Ji Lianxing mused to herself, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, sneezing several tis in succession.
"Hiss——"
"Who is thinking about ?"
...
...
anwhile, a golden flying boat silently left the Capital City.
Entering the clouds, its surface shimred, gradually becoming transparent, rging with the sky, completely invisible to the naked eye.
On the expansive deck, dozens of Black Armor Guards stood, holding swords and spears, like immobile statues.
In the center was an exquisite pavilion, carved from jade, lavishly luxurious.
On the terrace, the Empress leaned against the jade railing, gazing down, "We should be leaving Central State soon, right?"
Chu Yanli lounged in her chair, lazily said, "Just left the city, there’s still plenty of ti; even at full speed, it’ll take at least half a day."
"Is Central State really that large?" the Empress said in surprise.
"As the mother of a nation, not even knowing the size of your domain, aren’t you afraid of being a laughingstock?" Chu Yanli shook her head.
"I know the exact numbers, but have no real concept of it..."
The Empress had never left the Capital City since childhood; after entering the palace, she rarely went out even beyond the Imperial City.
This ti she’s traveling thousands of miles to the Southern Border, her heart filled with anticipation and a bit of nervousness.
Sun Senior Palace Lady nearby felt her brain buzzing.
She thought the Empress’s words last night were just in jest, yet after waking up, she found herself taken onto the flying boat.
Before even regaining her bearings, they had left the Capital City...
She hesitated for a mont and spoke up, "Princess, maybe you should reconsider, it’s still not too late to turn back... Not to ntion the dangers ahead, just being away for this period, with no one overseeing the court affairs, won’t the court fall into chaos?"
The Empress said coolly, "Let ask you, whose world is it?"
"Of course it’s the Emperor’s."
"Then what does its disorder have to do with ?"
"..."
"Wu Lie neglects court affairs; I’ve been holding things together for so many years. Haven’t I done enough?" the Empress snorted coldly. "The Emperor acts dead, the Imperial Consort runs away, why should I be imprisoned in the palace?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady’s mouth twitched, "While that’s true, however..."
"Stop, all pending matters have been handled, the situation in the city has also stabilized; if anything arises, the Golden Crow will send a ssage."
The Empress stretched her body, her curves graceful, smiled sweetly, "Rember, when traveling outside, don’t call Princess, call Miss Jiang."
Sun Senior Palace Lady: "..."
