In the Huayang Palace.

“Chief, are you really gonna let Mr. Xuanyuan follow the sacred maiden into the sacred realm?” Second Elder asked anxiously upon entering the palace.

The elder in white glanced at Second Elder and arched his brows, “Do I look like a man who doesn’t keep his word?”

“But…” Second Elder heard that and got somewhat anxious.

“I know.” Second Elder was interrupted by the elder in white with a wave.

Hearing that, Second Elder asked with a frown, “Since you know that, why did you agree just now?” Second Elder was rather confused now. After all, Chief Elder used to be a strict rule follower.

Sixth Elder also said with a frown, “Yeah, how could you agree with them?”

The elder in white heaved a sigh and said, “You saw what happened today. If I disagreed, the sacred maiden wouldn’t go to the sacred realm. You know, she must go to the sacred realm as soon as possible.”

The other elders all dropped their eyes.

Second Elder also said in frustration, “Be that as it may, you can’t agree anyway. For a few centuries, outsiders are not allowed to enter the sacred realm. This is the rule set by the Celestial Maiden back then!”

There is a shimmer crossing the eyes of the elder in white. “I agreed with him to enter the sacred realm, but he must be competent to go in there.”

Second Elder knitted his brows and stared at the elder in white in confusion, “What do you mean?” Did Chief Elder have a backup plan?

Hearing that, the elder in white curled his lips, “Not ordinary people can enter the sacred realm. If he really can get in there, that means the sacred realm also acknowledges him. If the sacred realm acknowledges him, there’s nothing to worry about then. If he can’t get in there, he can’t blame us then.”

Second Elder’s eyes sparkled at once. It was true. Chief Elder was thoughtful indeed. They had overthought it.

The other elders also kept nodding.

“You’re right…”

“Indeed…”

The next morning, Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo went to Mei Luo’s palace.

“Third Master.” When Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo entered the palace, Ya’er was feeding medicine to Mei Luo.

“Xi.” Upon seeing Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo, Mei Luo slightly cracked a smile.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo, Ya’er immediately rose and put the bowl on the table. Then, she bowed to them and said, “Greetings, Miss, Mr. Xuanyuan.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi waved at Ya’er and said, “I’ll take it from here. You leave first.”

“Yes.” Ya’er bowed herself out at once.

Duanmu Xi sat next to Mei Luo, picked up the bowl, got a scoop of medicine soup and passed it to Mei Luo’s lips.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s meek appearance, Mei Luo had a gentle glimmer in her dark eyes and lowered her head to drink the soup offered by Duanmu Xi.

After feeding a bowl of medicine soup, Duanmu Xi picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of Mei Luo’s lips, “Third Master, I will go to the sacred realm later. Perhaps, I won’t be able to meet you for a long time again.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo looked at Xuanyuan Mo in surprise. She remembered he didn’t seem to agree with Xi to go to the sacred realm. Why did she agree a few days later now?

Seeing that Mei Luo looked at Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi smiled and explained, “Snow will go with me!”

Mei Luo nodded. No wonder she would agree with ease. It turned out that he meant to go with Xi.

Mei Luo swept Duanmu Xi’s hair behind her ear and looked at her gently, “With Mo to go along, I’ll be relieved.” Although she believed Xi could come back safely even if she went alone, Mo was going with Xi anyway.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo said, “No worries. I’ll take good care of Xi.”

Mei Luo nodded and felt assured about Xuanyuan Mo.

Seeing the scene, Duanmu Xi directly sprang into Mei Luo’s arms and said coquettishly, “What should I do? I’ve started to miss you before I leave.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo smiled and stroked Duanmu Xi’s long hair gently, saying, “There are many illusions in the sacred realm. You must believe your heart. Remember that what you see may not necessarily be true. Just follow your heart.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi looked at Mei Luo and nodded, “I’ll keep what you said in mind.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo patted Duanmu Xi’s shoulder with satisfaction, “OK. Go and see your chief master!”

“OK.” Duanmu Xi rose and looked at Mei Luo, “I’ll leave you to rest. I’ll go and take a look at Chief Master.”

Mei Luo nodded.

Xuanyuan Mo slightly nodded at Mei Luo and then got out of Mei Luo’s room with Duanmu Xi.

They went into the yard next door. To treat Mei Luo, Situ Kong lived next to Mei Luo’s room.

“Chief Master.”

When Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo entered the yard, Situ Kong was fiddling with herbs.

“Here came Xi and Mo.” Upon seeing Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo, Situ Kong put the sieve for herbs on the shelf.

“Come here and sit down.” Situ Kong asked them to sit on the stone bench and poured tea for them.

Duanmu Xi dragged Xuanyuan Mo to sit on the bench and took a sip of the tea. As she drank a mouthful of tea, Duanmu Xi felt extremely comfortable and a lot more refreshed.

Duanmu Xi widened her eyes and exclaimed in awe, “What nice tea!” This was the first time she had drunk such amazing tea.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s cute appearance and subconsciously smiled faintly. He also picked up the cup, took a sip of tea and then nodded. The tea was nice indeed.

“That’s true.” Seeing that Duanmu Xi complimented him, Situ Kong immediately arched his brows complacently, “This is no ordinary tea. It’s the new tea integrated with a dozen of precious herbs, called Purple Dragon Star. The tea can restore impaired mental strength. Besides, if you drink it often, it can enhance your mental strength!” The Purple Dragon Star was new medicine he developed for mental strength recovery after his mental strength was impaired. It was just that he made it into tea this time.

Duanmu Xi took a tumble and nodded. Then, she took another sip of the tea and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, “Good for you. You can make the medicine into tea!” Drinking tea was a lot more enjoyable than eating pills.

Seeing Duanmu Xi enjoy herself, Situ Kong laughed merrily, “If you like it, I’ll make more another day.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi smiled, “Thank you then.”

Seeming to think of something, Duanmu Xi said, “Oh right, Chief Master, how are Third Master’s feet now?” Due to the several elders, she didn’t have any chance of asking that before.

Situ Kong frowned and said, “I’ve set her tendons and vessels. It’ll take her a while to walk again.” Mei Luo’s feet were really severely injured. Even if the tendons and vessels were reconnected, her body had been fundamentally damaged. She couldn’t recover quickly.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi also frowned, “Can Third Master’s injuries be healed or not?”

Hearing that, Situ Kong arched his brows and asked in disgruntlement, “You don’t trust me?”

“No, no.” Duanmu Xi immediately put on a fawning look, “Your medical skills are the best on the Hantian Continent. You must be able to cure Third Master.”

Situ Kong finally looked softer and stared at Duanmu Xi, “Your apprentice sent you a letter. As you weren’t around, I took it for you.”

Duanmu Xi’s eyes flickered. Chen wrote a letter to her. According to the secret guard’s previous information, Chen had gone home. Lian Zhengyu left with him too. She wondered how they were doing now.

Situ Kong took out a note from his arms and passed it to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi took the note and opened it. It wrote, “Master, I miss you!”

Duanmu Xi looked at the note, her eyes twitching. She didn’t remember teaching him how to write letters before. Why did Chen write as briefly as she did? He was really her disciple!

After reading the note, Duanmu Xi put the note into her arms and looked at Situ Kong, “Chief Master, Snow and I will enter the sacred realm later. I’ll have to leave Third Master, Phoenix Five, and the others to you.”

Situ Kong glimpsed Xuanyuan Mo aside and nodded. With Mo to keep Xi company, he felt quite assured.

“Just go ahead. Just leave here to me.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded and rose to slightly bow to Situ Kong, “Thank you then. I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, Situ Kong took out several jade bottles from his arms and passed them to Duanmu Xi, “Keep them just in case.”

Duanmu Xi took the jade bottles and stuffed them into her arms, “Thank you, Chief Master. We’ll go over there.”

Hearing that, Situ Kong nodded.

After leaving Situ Kong’s yard, the two of them arrived at the main hall of the Sacred Maiden’s Palace.

In the main hall of the Sacred Maiden’s Palace, the elders had waited a long time. Upon seeing Duanmu Xi, the elders wanted to bow to her, but when they thought of what Duanmu Xi said yesterday, they all stiffened here and didn’t know what to do.

Looking at the elders’ dumbfounded appearances, the elder in white frowned and went forward to slightly bow to Duanmu Xi, “Greetings, Sacred Maiden.”

The other elders saw the scene and slightly bowed to her as the elder in white did, “Greetings, Sacred Maiden.”

Instantly, Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes flickered. She raised her hand and said, “Please drop the formalities.” Although they were still being too polite, it was a lot better than the curtsy of bowing. People valued etiquette in ancient times. It was good enough that they could do this. This thing couldn’t be rushed. She had better take it easy.

The elder in white looked at Duanmu Xi, “Sacred Maiden, can we set off now?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded and said, “Let’s go!”

No sooner had they got out of the main hall of the Sacred Maiden’s Palace than they met Phoenix Five and the others.

Phoenix Five looked at Duanmu Xi and said with an imploring face, “Your Highness, please take us with you this time!”

The others all stared at Duanmu Xi imploringly.

Seeing the scene, Duanmu Xi frowned with difficulty. The elders had problems with asking Snow to go along. If Phoenix Five and the others were going too, they would definitely disagree.

While Duanmu Xi was torn, the elder in white said, “Go together if you want!”
