"Hare, you still dare to talk? Humph, I've never seen you act when we encounter danger! You're just a worthless pet—utterly useless!" Ji Jing snorted coldly, her eyes full of scorn.
The hare was quite embarrassed by her talk and harrumphed a few times. "What? I was just giving you guys the opportunity to practice. Do you think it's so simple to become an experienced Qi Artist?"
Ji Jing glanced at it and was too lazy to argue.
Hua Qiyue read the information little by little. By midnight when she was overcome by drowsiness, Tianci was already on the bed, snoring noisily.
"Alright. Let's come again here tomorrow and continue reading. It's getting late." Yun Shimo saw the tired look on Hua Qiyue's face and started to smile lightly.
Everyone put the records in place and dispersed into their rooms.
Yun Shimo sat by the table, glancing gently at Hua Qiyue. "You accepted the Crown Prince's invitation because
Hua Qiyue frowned. She was only an ordinary friend of Bai Qianxue, although Bai Qianxue had faithfully supported her, standing by her side. This had caused misunderstanding among countless people. This woman was no more than an admirer of Bai Qianxue. She was looking for trouble in Hua Qiyue. "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen Princess Chulan from the Yuewu Kingdom?" Another maidservant yelled out arrogantly. Hua Qiyue raised her brows. This Princess Chulan was no more than an eminent guest of the Crown Prince. Even the Emperor had to give in to her at times. But she was too bold, wasn't she? Provoking her on the streets? Seven or eight maidservants immediately surrounded Hua Qiyue, Tianci, and Bai Qianxue. "Princess Chulan, you're mistaken. I am only an ordinary friend of City Master Bai. But... would you like such a wilful and ignorant girl, City Master Bai?" Hua Qiyue smilingly gazed at Ba
Hua Qiyue heard her. She turned around instantly and dashed out. She saw at the bottom of the stairs a man in teal robe climbing up. The man raised his head. His familiar face made Hua Qiyue and Ji Jing cried out in astonishment. Ji Jing had wanted to go out for a walk. The moment she came to the corridor, she saw a man climbing the stairs, greatly resembling Xuanji. She did not expect it to be really him! It had been almost a year. He had finally returned. Xuanji smiled and nodded. "Qiyue, I'm back." They had not seen each other for almost a year. Xuanji had lost much weight. His somewhat fleshy face had become long and thin. But it could not disguise his handsome features. Hua Qiyue was at a loss for words. She was extremely agitated. Ji Feng and Bai Qianxue also came out following his voice. Both of them were smiling. "Haha, Brother Xuan, you're finally back! We've waited a long time for you!" Bai
Bai Qianxue glanced at Ji Jing curiously but did not reject her proposal. "Very well then, let's try the food there." Bai Qianxue did not know why. Suddenly, he did not wish to go back and face Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo. He was late to the party. Yun Shimo and Xuanji were there before him. Hua Qiyue had liked Yun Shimo. He would only feel upset appearing before her again. The two of them came to Xueyue Restaurant on the opposite side and sat down. The waiter brought them the menu. "Sir and madam... oh, isn't this City Master Bai? Ho ho, thank you for your patronage. I'll give you a treat today!" Bai Qianxue was no mere character. Everyone could pick him out with his silver hair, regardless of where he went. "You're too polite, waiter. No matter who I am, I don't have the right to make you spend. Thank you for your offer," Bai Qianxue said with a smile. He ordered a few dishes recommended by the waiter.
Hua Qiyue furrowed her lovely brows slightly. She said helplessly, "Very well, do what you will!" The moment he heard Hua Qiyue agree, Yun Shimo's heart was completely set at ease. As long as Hua Qiyue agreed, the matter could be easily resolved. Yun Shimo was overjoyed and kissed her delicate brows. "Qiyue, go and rest at once. I'll first find men to prepare for our grand wedding on the eighth!" With that, his figure flashed. With a whizz, he had disappeared. Hua Qiyue stared on stupidly. This man was too quick, wasn't he? She stretched out her hand and touched her brows and lips. That smoldering kiss was still there. The tender feeling brightened Hua Qiyue's mood too. She leaped nimbly back into the room, preparing to leave for her room, soak in the bath and then rest. This scene had naturally been witnessed by Xuanji, to the left of her window. He stared dazed at the half-shut window
That man was the First Palace Leader, Luo Sha. The others stared at one another, obviously voicing no dissent. Only the Second Palace Leader snorted. "It's just a few small fries. Why affect all the Palace Leaders? Hey... Hua Mengshi isn't here? Where has she gone?" Lan Luo gave a light laugh. "Of course she has her own matters. Everyone ought to do what they should do. But you can't be too careless. Hua Qiyue isn't someone easy to deal with." "Haha, I heard that you've been subdued by Hua Qiyue? Tsk, tsk. How can the 10th Palace Leader of our Dark Sect be so weak? By rights, you should be more powerful than the Fifth Palace Leader. But why you still lose to Hua Qiyue? Aren't you a bit too useless?" The Third Palace Leader sneered very impolitely. Lan Luo raised his brows. "I was indeed defeated by Hua Qiyue. But it's no insult. If you think I'm poor, I'll let you guys fight first. You can probe her prowess first
The First Palace Leader and the others were stunned. Every one of them knew that the Sixth Palace Leader was at the medium level of Holy God. Surprisingly, he died before he could even perform his lethal skill. As they fought with the enemy, they took a look at Hua Qiyue. But when they saw the Sixth Palace Leader, all black and scorched, lying on the ground, he was no longer breathing. So powerful! With one move, Hua Qiyue killed an opponent of her at the same level cruelly, which made the other Palace Leaders of the Dark Sect shocked inwardly! Lan Luo did stand by. He could see that Hua Qiyue was much stronger than before, and his heart pounded with fear. He didn't expect that Hua Qiyue had made such progress in less than a year! "She's indeed a top-level genius... No wonder Hua Mengshi learned all kinds of forbidden arts. Hua Qiyue is so strong that she would not have been able to draw with this woman without th
Tianpi still gave Hua Qiyue the cold shoulder. Holding a stick in his hand, he stirred the water in the spiritual pool. Hua Qiyue sat down beside Tianpi and pushed him on the shoulder. "Master, don't be narrow-minded. Just tell me!" With a cold face, Tianpi finally cast her a glance. "Narrow-minded? I don't have time to get angry with you. I was just remembering." Well, face-oriented... The corner of Hua Qiyue's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly, "All right, Master, who did you think of?" Cold-faced, Tianpi still didn't want to talk to Hua Qiyue. This girl had so many handsome men around her out there, and she came to see him less and less now! In front of them was a field of Ginsengs with Nine Souls. As the wind blew, the holy light covering these Ginsengs with Nine Souls glittered, appearing gorgeous. And the fragrance of the herbs was faint and unique. Looking ahead, Hua Qiyue
"Tell me, what sufferings has Princess Mingzhu undergone? Why has she appeared in Xuanyuan City again?" Ji Jing was a woman too. Hua Mengshi's actions had aroused some pity in her. Bai Qianxue glanced at her quietly. "Girl, use your brain. Otherwise, it will rust." Ji Jing heard him and was a little angry. "Hey, Brother Bai, are you suggesting that I'm simple-minded? Humph, a simple person is better than a complex one. Look at Hua Mengshi and Princess Huizhen. Tsk, tsk, they've killed lots of people." Hua Qiyue's complexion changed slightly. She glanced at Tianci and saw that he was teasing the Man-Hunting Insect. It looked like he had completely forgotten the painful days of his past. "When Lin Qi set up a branch here, he took with him Princess Mingzhu and Hua Mengshi... That must be it. That's why Hua Mengshi is in contact with the Dark Sect." Huangfu Xuan seldom spoke, but he was very outspoken today.
