Just outside the cave mansion, the Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Muqian stood gracefully, with her light pink palace dress floating in the breeze.
Aside from her, there were two academy Law Enforcent Envoys dressed in dignified black robes, with long swords at their waists, and stern expressions on their faces.
Seeing Zhou Qing and the others co out, the two Law Enforcent Envoys bowed slightly in greeting. One of them said, "Ninth Princess, you can chat with them first. We will leave now!"
After speaking, the two of them turned and left.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, asking, "When did you arrive?"
Xuanyuan Muqian’s lips curved into a sweet smile, her eyes narrowing like crescents: "I just ca with my mother this morning. Aren’t you surprised?"
Zhou Qing nodded slightly.
After all, they had just returned from the border two days ago and hadn’t seen any sign of them planning to co to the academy.
"My mother has sothing to discuss with you. Do you have ti?" Xuanyuan Muqian blinked, her eyes full of expectation.
Before Zhou Qing could answer, Yan Xiaohu ca close to Zhou Qing’s ear with a mischievous grin, lowered his voice, and teased, "Looks like your mother-in-law has officially recognized you as her son-in-law."
Opposite them, Xuanyuan Muqian’s fair face instantly turned red, and she stomped her foot lightly, scolding, "Brother Yan, stop talking nonsense!"
Yan Xiaohu’s smile froze, and he awkwardly scratched his nose with his right hand.
The voice was a bit loud; rember to use sound transmission next ti.
Zhou Qing also shook his head slightly. He hadn’t really considered matters of romance, and in this fourth-level cultivation country, it was unwise for the sect to get too entangled with the royal family.
If what Yan said was true, he should definitely speak with Lady Imperial Concubine soon; it would be better for both sides.
With that in mind, Zhou Qing took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "I’m free at the mont."
"Great! Then let’s go now!" Xuanyuan Muqian was thrilled upon hearing this.
However, seeing Yan Xiaohu also intending to follow, she hesitated montarily and softly said, "Brother Yan, you should stay. My mother only wants to see Brother Zhou alone."
Yan Xiaohu, who had been eager to join in the fun, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face full of embarrassnt.
But soon his eyes turned, and he quickly placed the old hen he was holding on the ground, pretending to stay calm: "Who said I was going with you? I’m just going to walk the chicken."
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Muqian looked apologetic and repeatedly apologized.
Then, she and Zhou Qing departed using Sword Control.
Watching the two figures leave in the sky, Yan Xiaohu pursed his lips, his face full of jealousy.
"Young love! Zhou has faced five Divinity Transformation vice generals on the border alone, how impressive. No wonder the Ninth Princess is so smitten with him. As for , Yan Xiaohu, I am also handso and charming. Why don’t I have such good luck?"
He sighed again, shook his head helplessly, and began to walk the chicken.
...
Consort Chen’s space ship was parked outside the academy this ti, and she only brought a few Golden Armor Guards and maids with her.
So no one knew an Imperial Consort was present in the academy. Otherwise, many people would be eager to watch the spectacle.
At the academy, her residence was arranged in Cuiwei Garden, which was a relatively serene villa.
When Zhou Qing stepped in, he looked around and then turned to Xuanyuan Muqian, curiously asking, "Did the Seventh Prince co as well?"
Xuanyuan Muqian gently shook her head and said, "Ever since you broke through to Divinity Transformation, my Seventh Brother has felt unprecedented pressure. Now he is focused on consolidating his final Realm, so he didn’t co this ti."
Zhou Qing nodded, then casually inquired about the border situation. Learning that everything was normal, he felt sowhat relieved.
However, Xuanyuan Muqian was shocked to learn that the Demon Emperor of Great Demon Mountain was still alive, causing so anxiety among the border soldiers.
But no one knew which Spirit Severing Realm master from the Eastern Domain’s Lingyun Mansion had fallen.
Zhou Qing listened with a gentle smile but said nothing more.
"Actually, my mother initially wanted to find Lu Yaoyao, but she seems to be in seclusion and couldn’t be found at the mont. So, after much thought, my mother decided to look for you!" Xuanyuan Muqian continued.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing was taken aback, then a glimr of understanding flashed in his eyes. He tentatively asked, "Is Consort Chen looking for Master Lu?"
Xuanyuan Muqian’s eyes widened in surprise, "How did you know?"
Zhou Qing’s lips turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Just a guess. Lu is Lu Yuanzhi’s student, and since you and the Seventh Prince visited Master Lu last ti, it makes sense..."
Zhou Qing didn’t continue, but Xuanyuan Muqian was already full of admiration.
Brother Zhou’s wit is really sharp.
"Zhou Qing, we et again!"
After turning around a corridor, Consort Chen appeared in a magnificent light purple palace dress, walking gracefully and greeting them first.
"Junior Zhou Qing, paying respects to Lady Imperial Consort," Zhou Qing stopped and bowed courteously.
"No need for formalities," Consort Chen raised her hand slightly, making a gesture to waive off the courtesy, with a gentle smile on her face, "I’m troubling you to co here actually to ask you a question."
As Zhou Qing was about to speak, the surrounding scene seed to freeze; even the birdcall in the branches halted abruptly.
At the sa ti, he felt sothing appear in his arms, seemingly a box.
Before he could react, Consort Chen’s urgent voice echoed in his mind, "No matter what, make sure to give this to Lu Yuanzhi. I can’t do it myself!"
