The middle gate of a noble family isn’t opened casually; it must only be opened for significant events or esteed guests.
Yet Qin Liuxi imdiately demanded the middle gate be opened and for Princess Yile to personally escort him out. Arrogant, extrely arrogant!
Feng Xiu observed her standing by the middle gate with arms crossed, waiting. He didn’t even question whether Princess Yile would indeed co out as she claid.
Because there was no need to ask!
Qin Liuxi said that the people inside would only follow orders. Even if they were unwilling, it wasn’t their decision to make, just like that gatekeeper servant earlier, who wanted to drive her away but obediently delivered the ssage.
Princess Yile would be just as obedient as that servant.
Qin Liuxi never intended to play any mind gas with her; she was too busy for that.
As the two outstanding people stood in front of the middle gate, passersby grew curious, wondering what they were doing in front of the gate.
Curiosity piqued, leisure made them eager to satisfy it, as it was evident there was so gossip to enjoy. After all, self-cultivation in enjoying a juicy story is essential!
In ti, a crowd gathered, waiting to see the spectacle.
Inside the Princess Mansion, Princess Yile was utterly anxious.
She didn’t know what ca over her. After hearing the gatekeeper’s ssage, she nearly laughed until she snorted. What nonsense compelled her to personally escort soone out through the middle gate within fifteen minutes?
So arrogant!
Could it be that in Shengjing, soone dared to be more arrogant than Princess Yile herself?
She was the Emperor’s beloved youngest daughter and her full-brother had beco the Crown Prince. Even the Eldest Princess had to avoid her lilight.
But now, soone dared to show off in her mansion. Truly remarkable!
She was curious about who this little Taoist’s master was, and what gave them such audacity?
Princess Yile intended to invite them into the mansion so she could et them. Yet when she spoke, out ca the order to open the middle gate and invite Xuan Yi, the little Taoist, and his group out.
The crowd: "?"
Princess Yile was stunned, pupils shaking, and she imdiately covered her mouth. No, that wasn’t what she ant!
She tried to say not to open it, but it ca out as: "Why are you all standing there? Go invite them out!"
The servant hurried to make arrangents.
Princess Yile was horrified and instinctively wanted to stop them, shouting it wasn’t what she intended.
Why did her words betray her intentions? Why did they not match her heart?
What’s happening, what’s wrong with her mouth?
A ghost, is there a ghost?
Princess Yile wanted to scream, but her throat felt constricted, unable to utter a sound.
The maids and nanny serving her exchanged worried glances, feeling sothing was off. They were about to ask when Princess Yile suddenly rushed out like a gust of wind.
The crowd: "?"
Inwardly, Princess Yile was crying out for help, wishing soone would stop her. She didn’t want to go out.
Soon, she saw the little Taoist she found so captivating. He was exceptionally handso, ethereal, like an exiled immortal, an Immortal Master; so perfect, she wanted to hide him away.
Princess Yile wished to say as she had before: Little Taoist, just yield to !
But what ca out was: "The Daoist has arrived, I will personally escort you out!"
Teng Zhao looked at her indifferently.
Little Ginseng clung close to him, alert: "Sothing’s wrong, be careful of deceit, perhaps a honey trap!"
This woman really has a malicious sche!
Hei Sha folded arms, ready to unleash chaos had Teng Zhao not stopped him.
Princess Yile’s face twitched, inwardly furious, Don’t leave, you’re mine!
Oddly, her feet seed to move on their own, directing her towards the middle gate.
Teng Zhao and his group watched her twisted, uncanny stride in astonishnt. Was she possessed by a ghost?
After a few steps, they paused, then showed joy.
"Master (Xixi) is here."
Princess Yile saw the gate open wide by her instructed guards and her face turned deathly pale: "..."
Worthless, these worthless fools, she wanted to punish them!
She watched her once-favored Prince Consort run swiftly to the middle gate, rage boiling within her.
Audacious!
Teng Zhao saw his master, delight mixed with guilt, lowered his head, and said, "I am unworthy, making Master worry."
Little Ginseng and Hei Sha, though nervous, sensed the Great Demon King’s smile yet felt a tightening around them.
Qin Liuxi patted his head: "Learn from mistakes. So people don’t deserve to be called people. Against such, you need not argue morals. As long as you discard ethics, it can’t bind you, understand?"
Goodness, is this how you teach disciples?
Ensuring you don’t corrupt them?
Feng Xiu chid in coolly: "That’s right, always follow your master’s example and, um, lead with virtue. Oops, without virtue while impressing others!"
The crowd understood: a lack of virtue!
Princess Yile pressed her lips tightly, glaring at Qin Liuxi, her body trembling, pale, a fine sweat forming on her forehead. She feared speaking, afraid it would betray her again.
The Exiled Immortal’s master was a woman; no wonder he was so proud and cold to her.
Qin Liuxi approached Princess Yile step by step. Supporting maids and servants instinctively wanted to retreat but couldn’t for so inexplicable reason.
They felt colder than the snow on rooftops.
Qin Liuxi smiled at Princess Yile: "These days, the princess often invites my apprentice to discuss the Dao, truly too much trouble. I see the princess and my Dao are fated, whether tonsure or cultivation, both are excellent. What does the princess say?"
Princess Yile was furious, who in their right mind wants cultivation, she opened her mouth to retort, yet what ca out was sincere fear: "The master speaks rightly, I am fated with the Dao, I wish to emulate Father Emperor, pursue Changsheng with him."
Save , there’s a ghost here!
The serving won were shocked, Princess, are you mad? You previously said you wanted to marry, have children, and indulge in a carefree life!
What the heck is cultivation?
Princess Yile was nearly faint, not , it wasn’t my idea, that wasn’t what I thought!
She looked into Qin Liuxi’s eyes, which shone like a starry sky, dazzling and inviting her to drown within.
No, these eyes have sothing unusual!
Princess Yile’s eyes widened, tears of pain seeping out.
Qin Liuxi smiled: "In that case, this humble Daoist wishes the princess attains the great Dao of Changsheng!"
She led Teng Zhao and the others away.
Princess Yile scread inwardly: Don’t go, they can’t leave, seize them for !
Yet she clearly heard herself utter a particularly galling phrase: "This humble devotee respectfully sends off the Immortal Master."
Princess Yile was terrified. As they faded from view, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed softly to the ground.
The place descended into chaos.
