This blind man was the most meticulous. Xin an only glanced at the two of them and said softly, “It’s inconvenient for senior brother to move around. I’m afraid that I’ll drag you two down, so I’ll wait for you at Mount Li.”
“Well... Okay, senior brother, please.”Chao Lu agreed and hurriedly ran into the room. She stuffed Xiaoxiao, who had completely turned into a peach blossom chicken, into her arms and rushed out again.
After bidding farewell to Xin an, the two of them flew all the way to the sky.
Chao Lu stepped on her blazing sword and saw that Su Bai was also a light white cloud. She immediately felt envious. “Why do you also have a Little White Cloud?”
“After becoming an immortal, there will be a special job to assign these things. In order to tame this little thing, you have to put in a lot of effort.”
Hearing him say this, Chao Lu felt slightly relieved. However, she still looked at him with envy. Su Bai asked, “Do you want to stand up?”
“Sure, sure.”She smiled honestly and jumped over the blazing sword.
Su Bai took her hand and naturally gave her a piece of land. The Little White Cloud was soft and obedient.
Chao Lu felt that there was something wrong with the two of them? She looked around and realized that when she was standing on the Little White Cloud with her master, she was still young and holding hands was nothing.
But now, these two adults were standing together and holding hands, which made her feel particularly awkward.
Therefore, she pulled her hand back slightly, feeling a little awkward.
Su Bai lowered his head and did not say anything. He just smiled. It was not until he reached the ninth heaven and saw the rolling clouds and a bright golden light appear in front of him that he slowly pressed down on the cloud.
“Can I meet the emperor directly?”Now, it was the Emperor An Ling who was on the throne. It was said that this emperor an ling was a first-class good man and should not have listened to Yun Fu’s one-sided words so biased.
“Of course it’s not that easy. Even if I want to meet the emperor, I can’t.”
This sentence dispelled Chao Lu’s thoughts. She stroked the small peach blossom tail feather in her arms and was filled with anger. “But how did the Yunfu sisters get in?”
“They have connections...”Su Bai pulled her along with a small turn and walked towards the back of the Heavenly Palace.
“What for?”She asked subconsciously.
“To look for our connections,”Su Bai said without turning his head.
The connections su Bai mentioned were Yun Jin Fairy Lan Ruo. Lan Ruo was considered a popular person in the heavenly palace. The brocade she weaved was highly praised by all the immortals in the ninth heaven. However, she regarded this newly promoted young master of Narcissus with great importance and treated him well. She made an exception for him a few times and weaved a high-quality spirit silk yarn and sent it to the narcissus palace. She also said that it was to add some face to him as the young master of Narcissus who was in charge of a palace.
Just like that, it was not worth Su Bai and Chao Lu making this trip. However, Fairy Yun Jin Lan Ruo was a close friend of Lan Zhi, the empress of the Anling Emperor.
Su Bai decided to make use of this rather indirect relationship.
He turned around and looked at Chao Lu who was at a loss. He could not help but sigh in his heart. He reached out and took the little vermillion bird from her hair.
“HMM?”
“I’ll give it to you after I’m done. I’m afraid that once some woman resents me, this matter will be over.”
Chao Lu could not figure it out no matter how much she thought about it. However, before she had time to think about it, she took a detour with him and actually entered an otherworldly paradise through a small path.
Under the endless shade of green trees and lush foliage, an ethereal palace was hidden within. Three layers of cloud tops were piled far above Yun Luo, and on the roof of the palace was a glazed precious beast that was spitting out flowing water, above the palace, the three large characters of “Brocade Cloud Palace”could faintly be seen. However, the two sides of the gauze curtains that hung down like transparent thin wings covered the entire hall, making it look ethereal.
Outside the palace, there was an extremely vast drying field, drying all kinds of silk and brocade that would be carried out from the palace. Some were spread on the ground, while others were propped up and fluttering in the clouds. A gust of wind blew, and the natural fragrance of the cloth assaulted their faces.
Under the Brocade Cloud Palace’s tent, there were two or three women. They were either sitting under the shade, reading poems, weaving, or playing. Waves of laughter reached the ears of the two people under the shade, and the sounds were pleasant to the ears.
When the wind blew, one could hear the pleasant sound of zither strings coming from within. It was like pearls falling onto a jade plate, or red jade being crushed and falling to the ground. Every sound was refreshing to the heart.
“This is the brocade cloud fairy, Lan Ruo, weaving. It is said that when she is weaving, it is like dancing music, extremely wonderful,”Su Bai explained.
Then, he took the lead and walked towards Yun Jin Palace.
When the fairies saw the man in white walking over, they looked at each other and smiled. A fragrant wind blew as they walked over. “Is young master narcissus here to see our Miss Lan Ruo again today?”
So Er er and Lan Ruo had such an ambiguous relationship. When he saw the women’s eyes looking at Su Bai and then at him, he could not help but take a step back and put some distance between him and Su Bai.
Su Bai nodded slightly and asked, “Is Miss Lan Ruo Here?”
As the sound of the zither gradually faded away, a beauty in a blue-green robe walked over and said, “Fairy Lan Ruo heard that young master Su Bai has arrived and has gone to take a bath. Please... wait in the hall with this lady.”
Soon after, she landed in the East Hall of Yun Jin Palace. Every step she took was as wonderful as entering a fairyland.
The curtains were inlaid with chiffon like cicada wings and hung with crystal beads. One could hear the sound of beads crisscrossing as they walked inside.
A beauty in a blue-green robe guided them all the way to a side room.
The side room was obviously a woman’s boudoir. Every part of it was meticulously decorated like a woman’s, and the first thing they saw was the warm fragrance of nephrite. On the table opposite them, there was incense everywhere. It was so fragrant that Xiao Xiao was twitching in Chao Lu’s arms, half awake and half awake.
“I didn’t expect that Fairy Lanruo would treat you so...”
“Shh.”Su Bai held his hand and put it in his mouth. He said in a low voice, “Her ears are very sharp. Lower Your Voice.”
As soon as he said that, he heard a bell-like laughter in the back hall. It was charming and moving. His ears softened as soon as he heard it, and his heart trembled.
“Young master Su Bai, you really know how to joke. My ears are not as sharp as you say...”
The fragrance assailed her nose. Her hands were soft, her skin was creamy, her collar was white, and her teeth were like a tiger’s teeth. Her hair was white, and she walked with golden steps. There was a jade ornament on her waist. The woman was wearing a thin veil, and her jade-like body was slightly exposed in the thin clothes. She had a lazy expression, and her eyes were shining. There was a faint cinnabar mark under her eyes, which made her look particularly flirtatious. She slowly turned her gaze to the two of them, but her gaze fell on Chao Lu.
Chao Lu looked at her, and she was also sizing up Chao Lu.
In the world of women and women, there were not many who could appreciate each other. However, Fairy Lan Ruo only felt that the little girl in front of her looked extremely familiar. She saw that the little girl was delicate and thin, with a face made of goose fat. Her lips were like cherry blossoms, and her eyebrows were like ink paintings. Her spirit was like autumn water, and she was indescribably soft and delicate. She wore a rarely seen flowery dress, which was ethereal and light. Her ink-dyed black hair was not decorated at all, and she looked like a porcelain doll decorated with Jade, it was very pleasing to the eye.
Lan Ruo immediately had a subtle feeling in her heart, but she did not speak in a hurry. Instead, she slightly turned her body and sat opposite the two of them.
Seeing that Lan Ruo was staring at her with her bright eyes, Chao Lu could not help but look at Su Bai worriedly. She thought to herself that this girl did not think she was a love rival, did she?
Therefore, she nervously nudged su Bai’s hand with her elbow. This subtle movement did not escape Lan Ruo’s eyes. Finally, she frowned and was about to speak, “Young master Su Bai, what is the important matter that you came to my Brocade Cloud Palace for today?”
Su Bai smiled and said, “I’ve always been taken care of by Fairy Lan Ruo, so I can’t thank you enough. Now, I hope you can help me again.”
Lan Ruo placed her left hand on the back of her right hand and gently stroked it. She was clearly a weaving fairy, but her hands were fair and smooth, making Chao Lu feel a little envious. She secretly stroked the thin calluses on her palms and sighed.
“Help? Will I help you, Su Bai? Or will I help the little girl beside you?”
Su Bai lowered his head and chuckled. Chao Lu was slightly surprised. This woman was too sharp.
“Let’s not talk about anything else. Lan Ruo, are you going to help me or not?”Su Bai asked directly. His peach blossom eyes that were soaked in honey stared straight at her.
Chao Lu had never thought that er’er would be so good at dealing with women. Therefore, she supported her head with her hand and curiously sized up the former Er’er and the current Su Bai.
Su Bai’s eyelashes were very long. When she lowered her eyes, the flower god seal between her brows sparkled and was exceptionally dazzling.
Her beauty was so alluring that Chao Lu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She watched as Lan Ruo, who was sitting across from her, gradually blushed. Finally, she could not remain calm and coughed softly. “I can help you, but what about the thing you promised me?”
“I will get someone to beat up a Little Vermillion Bird for you,”Su Bai said. Chao Lu’s heart trembled slightly.
“No, I want that one.”Lan Ruo’s voice finally had a hint of coquettishness in it, and there was a hint of flirtatiousness in her voice.
“May I trouble you to ask, What’s the story behind that Little Vermillion Bird?”Zhao Lu could not help but ask.
When Lan Ruo heard Zhao Lu’s question, she knew that Su Bai had never given it to Zhao Lu. Only then did she feel at ease. “That’s a legendary keepsake.”
Token? Could it be a token of love? Zhao Lu was shocked and could not help but tremble.
Su Bai smiled. He stood tall and straight like a mountain.
He asked again, “Lan Ruo, can you help?”
So, beauty was not only effective for men, but also for women.
Lan Ruo was a close friend of Empress Lan Zhi. No one stopped her from entering and leaving the Heavenly Palace. Seeing that she had brought two immortals with her, she let them go and did not guard them.
Lan Ruo walked in front with a swaying posture, and every movement was extremely graceful. Chao Lu couldn’t help but think of her saying that weaving cloth was like dancing music. How could anyone not be envious of such a woman? Chao Lu stole a glance at Su Bai, who was walking leisurely with his hands behind his back, without any change in expression.
How did these two people change so much. She couldn’t help but curse in her heart. Xiao Xiao moved impatiently in her arms, and then she put away her thoughts and followed along with her hands in her arms.
This was Morning Dew’s first time entering the Heavenly Palace, so she was full of curiosity.
The sparkling Pearl Palace, Qi Zhenzhen’s jade tiles and vermillion tiles, and the spacious ornate arbor were embroidered into a clip, and the majestic beams were carved. The palace gate was tall and wide, and the main gate of the palace was the South Heaven Gate, which was majestic and magnificent. There were five gates in the South Heaven, all of which were nailed with gold and painted with vermillion paint. The walls of the gates were made of high-grade jade, and were carved in the shape of a phoenix flying cloud. Could it be that the carvings were carved into the buildings, and the steep corners were layered with layers of paint? They were covered with rainbow glazed tiles, curved rulers, and vermillion railings. The two pavilions below faced each other with vermillion forks.
With every step she took, her heart trembled slightly, especially when she saw the two everlasting palace lanterns with golden gilt flowers outside the main hall. The lights were dim and bright, and her head felt dizzy.
“Lu'er?”Seeing that her face was a little pale, Su Bai reached out and gently held her.
This call also made LAN Ruo stop. Seeing that the little girl looked very distressed and her face was pale, she could not help but ask, “Miss, have you been here before?”
Chao Lu was very confused. She had never been here before, but why did she feel so sad when she saw those things.
Especially when the three of them stood outside a sunken palace, her heart was like a broken stone, instantly shattering. Then, fragments that could not be pieced together flashed through her mind.
The sunken palace was the place of the empress, and there were dozens of pavilions and pavilions inside. The returning Cloud Pavilion, the Jade Water Bridge, the peony garden... There was a flat lake in front of the returning corridor, and a boat was floating on the water. In the boat, there was a little fairy holding a small crystal bottle and catching the dew on the lotus flowers and leaves.
“There were two pasts on this jade water bridge. One of the pasts was when you and I walked hand in hand, and the other was watching the sunrise and sunset on the bridge.”
She subconsciously turned her head and saw a jade belt hanging in the air above the lake. The Green Lotus leaves made the jade water bridge look even more verdant.
She could not help but frown. Why... why did she remember this Jade Water Bridge? Why... why did a woman say such a thing in her mind? Why did she feel so sad when she saw this Jade Water Bridge?
Seeing Chao Lu’s bewildered look, Lan Ruo burst into laughter and pointed at her, saying, “Little girl, you haven’t been to the Heavenly Palace before, right? You must have been frightened by this magnificent aura.”
Chao Lu hurriedly turned around and forced a smile, saying, “Maybe... I guess...”
After entering the palace, Lan Ruo pointed to the purple palace hall and said, “I’ll go in and talk to my sister first. If she’s willing to help, she’ll have her own way. You guys wait here.”
Su Bai smiled and said, “If Lan Ruo is willing to help, then everything will be fine.”
She covered her mouth and smiled, which was as bright and beautiful as the blooming spring flowers in March. “You owe me another favor.”
Then, she turned around and walked into the Purple Palace. The heavenly soldiers outside the palace checked the access token in her hand and let her in.
Chao Lu turned around and stared at the Jade Water Bridge in a daze. Then, she looked around the entire purple palace. She felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness.
“Lu'er, you’re acting a little strange today.”Su Bai’s sudden words startled her and called her back.
“Maybe I’m worried about my master.”Chao Lu smiled, feeling a little melancholic.
It was like a knot in her heart. The ripples caused by those words did not fade. She frowned and held her hand without saying a word.
Su Bai lowered his head and looked at her. He smiled teasingly. “Is my master that important to you?”
Chao Lu’s face immediately turned red. She stomped her foot and said, “Of course. Why Don’t you try locking up your master?”
Su Bai choked. His beautiful face changed color. He straightened up and suddenly stopped talking to her. After a long while, he said, “My master...”
Chao Lu’s heart skipped a beat. She thought of Hua Qing, that thousand-year-old demon. She hurriedly raised her hand and waved it in front of him for a long time. Then she said repeatedly, “No, no, if you are also locked up, I will think of a way.”
Su Bai was silent and lowered his head. She thought that he was angry and kept walking in front of him. She could only tug at his sleeve and say softly, “Okay, Erer, I was wrong... Don’t be angry with me.”
She heard a chuckle and Su Bai raised his head. His bright eyes were as gentle as water. “Are you feeling better?”
Only then did Zhao Lu realize that he was just teasing her. She couldn’t help but forget her restlessness and laugh.
As the two of them were chatting, they saw a little fairy walking towards them at an unhurried pace. She was dressed in a long bright dress with a light yellow and silver flying cloud robe draped over her shoulders. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and she had a sweet smile on her face. Her eyes flashed across her fair face, and her cheeks immediately blushed slightly as she said, “Please follow me.”
They exchanged a glance, not knowing what was going on, so they followed her.
The three of them went to the study at the back of the palace. The little fairy described to them that at first, the palace was just a side hall, but later on, someone who Emperor Rao Tian admired moved in, and the more it was built, the more magnificent it became.
“Someone he admired? Isn’t she di Jun’s Empress?”Chao Lu asked curiously.
The little fairy stopped and gestured with her hand, very mysteriously and quietly.., “Emperor Rao Tian is different from emperor an ling. Ever since Emperor Rao Tian married the three girls of the Xuan Yu race, Zhao Hua, and was conferred the title of Emperor, Empress Zhao Hua has been nothing but a figurehead. “Not long after, a mortal woman was welcomed into this purple palace, causing all the immortals in the ninth heaven to turn pale with fright.”
“AH. How can this be? Isn’t Empress Zhao Hua suffering?”Chao Lu asked.
Little Xian ‘er did not reply and pointed at the purple palace, “That’s why the Purple Palace is where the true empress resides. Right now, it is where my empress Lan Zhi lives.”
“Oh...”Chao Lu was still in a dilemma over what she was going to hear about Emperor Rao Tian, Empress Zhao Hua, and that mortal woman. She did not come back to her senses for a moment and was pulled forward by Su Bai.
“That Jade Water Bridge...”just as she asked, Little Xian ‘er pointed to the study room and smiled, “We’re here. I’ll bring the two of you in. Today, you are really lucky to be able to see both the Imperial Emperor and Empress at the same time.”
The door slowly opened and the three of them sat in the main seats, chatting and laughing. Looking from afar, they were like a portrait. The man was dressed in the casual clothes of an emperor and his black hair hung down straight. He had a majestic aura and was gentle and elegant. He was holding a book in his hand but he was looking sideways at the woman beside him This woman had a pair of red phoenix eyes and two curved willow-shaped eyebrows. She had a slim figure, and her pink face did not reveal the power of spring. Her red lips did not open to smile, but she could smell it first. Between her eyebrows, there was a flower god Mark that belonged to the flower god, and it intersected with Su Bai’s beauty mark She was having a heart-to-heart conversation with Lan Ruo, who was sitting at the lower seat. Between every frown and smile, she revealed an indescribable charm.
Empress Lan Zhi was like a budding peony flower. She was beautiful but not bewitching. She was gorgeous but not ordinary. She was extremely charming and incomparable.
Chao lu muttered, “So beautiful...”
Su Bai said softly, “A lotus flower emerges from clear water. It’s naturally sculpted. It has its own charm and doesn’t lose out to competition...”
Chao Lu was slightly taken aback and her face instantly turned red.
“The two of you, come in.”Lan Ruo waved her hand and smiled like a flower. Thinking about how Emperor An Ling and Empress Lan Zhi had given her so much face this time, her mood was exceptionally bright.
Su Bai walked in with Chao Lu. At this point, he had no intention of speaking again. He just quietly accompanied her and stood at the back.
“I heard from Ruo'er that young lady, you are exalted goddess Mo Chen’s disciple?”Lan Zhi asked first.
An Ling put down his book and said amiably, “This is not the main hall, but relax.”
The two of them going back and forth confused Chao Lu. It was obvious that after hearing the news of her master being imprisoned, she had firmly believed that emperor an ling was an unreasonable person who did not care about Qing Hong.
Who would have thought that with just one face, he actually had an imposing manner and the temperament of a scholarly general.
Thus, she first bowed and then nodded before saying, “Replying to Emperor and empress, Lu'er is indeed the disciple of exalted goddess Mo Chen.”
