Chapter 1153 - 614: Reunion
"Someone might be whispering about me." Yan Lingxue shook her head and said, "These past two days, there seem to be undercurrents surging in the Ba Snake Forest. Has something happened that we should know but don’t know?"
Just then, a maid walked in, bowed to Yan Lingxue, and said with a smile: "My lord has ordered to gift all guests with three hundred pounds of Spiritual Tea, ten 500-year-old Vermilion Fruits, and thirty pieces of Jade Paste. Please, Little Pavilion Master, send someone to collect them." She was followed by several Hidden Guards who silently placed down several redwood boxes. Small items like Vermilion Fruits and Jade Paste were also packed in red lacquer boxes, making them look festive.
Yan Lingxue asked curiously: "Has something good happened in the sect? That cold-faced and cold-hearted Shaking Heaven God suddenly ordered gifts for guests. Clearly, something significant has happened in the sect, and it’s a good thing."
The maid smiled broadly, evidently overjoyed: "Little Pavilion Master is truly wise! My lady has already woken up, which is indeed a great joy for the sect. Lord Divine Monarch wishes to share his joy with esteemed guests. He instructed us to say: These humble gifts are not enough to show respect; please accept them."
Yan Lingxue’s mind buzzed.
The woman that Lord Divine Monarch loves has actually awakened? Not earlier, not later, but just at this moment. She hasn’t even managed to get Lord Changtian to look at her, and this woman has already awakened. Wouldn’t her future hopes become even more elusive?
She doesn’t want this, she refuses to accept this!
Her mind was in turmoil, but Ping’er accepted the gifts for her, then took out two Spirit Stones from her sleeve to dismiss the maid. Seeing her expression, Ping’er anxiously shook her arm: "Miss, miss, don’t frighten me!"
Yan Lingxue was shaken twice before her beautiful eyes turned over, still filled with confusion: "You don’t know, ever since three years ago when I saw him in Central Capital. He led the Hidden Stream demons, with dozens against hundreds of the Central Capital’s guards, and still managed to gain the upper hand. When he talks and laughs while killing, he’s so unparalleled in charm, such heroic spirit. He, the way he wields his sword, often appears in my dreams over the years. If I could become such a man’s Daoist couple, I’d die without regret." He’s so handsome, that every time she wakes from a midnight dream, she bites her handkerchief into pieces. Her brother also knows of her thoughts for Lord Divine Monarch; otherwise, he wouldn’t let her transport goods to Hidden Stream each time.
Ping’er said unhappily: "Little Pavilion Master, why say things about life and death. How many men in this world have you seen remain faithful? Our Tianling Pavilion holds great power in the North, and Hidden Stream has frequently engaged in external battles over the years, consuming lots of Magic Artifacts and Armor, so they must prioritize our alliance. If Lord Divine Monarch’s beloved cares for her lover, cares for Hidden Stream, she won’t stand in the way between you and the Divine Monarch."
With this reminder, the blockage in Yan Lingxue’s heart gradually dissipated. She was originally smart, just stunned by the sudden news, and now calm down, she increasingly finds Ping’er’s words reasonable.
She slowly paced around the room twice before slowly saying: "You’re right, how could such a man let one woman monopolize him? I’ve heard Ning Xiaoxian never had any strong foundation, at most some connections and popularity within Hidden Stream. Her support for the Divine Monarch is definitely not as good as mine. Besides, I’m not competing for favor everywhere, I only seek to share equally. She may not necessarily refuse."
She bit her lip and said to Ping’er: "Go to the Foreign Affairs Hall, say I want to meet her, and ask to arrange a meeting."
Seeing her calm down again, Ping’er was relieved, and said cheerfully: "Okay. Lord Divine Monarch seems hard to approach, but he’s so good to Ning Xiaoxian, he can’t truly be heartless. If she can soften him, you surely can too."
#####
Ning Xiaoxian received the report from the Foreign Affairs Hall while Changtian was in her room, holding two pieces of osmanthus sugar in his hand. She just needed to drink the medicine in the bowl, then he would stuff the sugar into her mouth.
No matter how old, taking bitter medicine still needed coaxing, he was entirely helpless.
Before Ning Xiaoxian could respond, he had already raised his voice: "No! Go and dismiss this meeting request!"
BOSS had spoken, the person from the Foreign Affairs Hall standing in the courtyard immediately responded loudly "Yes," and ran off swiftly without giving Ning Xiaoxian a chance to keep him.
That person was exceptionally clever! Ning Xiaoxian thought angrily, but her face showed curiosity: "Who is the Little Pavilion Master from Tianling Pavilion, and why does she want to meet me?"
Changtian said calmly: "Just the Northern Immortal Sect that has had business dealings with Hidden Stream these years. Yesterday I announced to the entire sect that you have awakened, and then received many requests to see you, all dismissed by me."
