Chapter 120: Get Lost All of You, Donst Come and Bother Me (2/2)

A figure wrapped within a long robe walked out from the room.

”Master,” Tang Yin and Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Meng and Zhao Musheng both looked toward the direction of the door as well, and saw a woman wearing a veil.

Zhao Musheng's eyes constricted. He immediately recognized the identity of this woman at a glance and was slightly surprised... The third elder of the Celestial Arcanum Sect was an extremely distinguished identity. What was her objective for coming to the imperial city?

Xiao Meng narrowed his eyes at the woman before him. The wave of true energy that surged out had not dissipated yet and he could feel a trace of danger. This woman… was not simple.

”Zhao Musheng, it's been a while… The middle-aged man from back then has now become an elderly man,” Ni Yan said with a faint smile.

The corners of Zhao Musheng's mouth curled up as he sighed with feeling.”The brat from back then has grown up into a distinguished personage. The Celestial Arcanum Sect is not simple indeed.”

”What purpose does your excellency have for entering our imperial city?” Xiao Meng said with a frown. From the looks of it, the other party seemed to be rather familiar with Zhao Musheng. Could Zhao Musheng be a member of the Celestial Arcanum Sect as well?

Ni Yan's devastatingly beautiful face turned toward Xiao Meng and the smile on her face disappeared. She lifted up her hand and then pointed toward Zhao Musheng. She said,”Whatever he's doing within the imperial city, we're here… to do the same thing.”

The moment Zhao Musheng heard those words, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. After so many years, this brat was still as impish as ever. With a single sentence, he was directly dragged down with her.

Nearby, Tang Yin and Lu Xiaoxiao were both dumbfounded. What was their master saying? Weren't their objectives for entering the imperial city purely to obtain the Phoenix Blood Herb? When did they ever have any other objectives?

”What nonsense are you talking about, this old man has been staying in the imperial city for all these years. Climbing up the ranks until the position of Minister of the Left was all for the sake of serving the empire.” Zhao Musheng said with a chuckle, indicating that his purpose for staying within the imperial city was pure.

Xiao Meng let out a chuckle. Who would believe Zhao Musheng's nonsense.

”What? Old man? Am I wrong? Why don't the two of us have a fight, and whoever wins will be the one speaking the truth? How about that?” Ni Yan said with a chortle as her large eyes stared at Zhao Musheng.

Zhao Musheng pursed his lips and shook his head. He immediately turned around and began to leave without staying for too long.

”These old bones of mine wouldn't be able to take the torment.”

Xiao Meng meaningfully gave Ni Yan a glance, but Ni Yan was naturally not afraid. Even though Xiao Meng was the guardian of the Light Wind Empire, she was completely unafraid. After all, Ni Yan had just reached a breakthrough and her confidence was still quite high.

Xiao Meng left as well. He did not bother Ni Yan too much.

After Xiao Meng left, an imperiousness gradually appeared in Ni Yan's large eyes. She scanned the surroundings and then her sweet-sounding voice sounded out, spreading into the surroundings of the inn.

”All of the Tom, Dick, and Harry in the surroundings, get lost! Don't come and bother me, I don't want to see anyone!”

The faces of King Yu and the crown prince who were on their way immediately turned black… The temper of this female Battle-Saint seemed a little violent.

...

Bu Fang, who had climbed into bed and was about to fall asleep, was suddenly woken up by a feminine shout. He drowsily rubbed his eyes. For some reason, he found the voice strangely familiar. However, after thinking for a while, he could not point out the reason for the familiarity and went back to sleep. He was extremely tired after preparing an elixir cuisine.

Without any question, his first try of preparing the elixir cuisine failed. It failed not because it was not edible, but because it failed to meet Bu Fang's expectations. It did not completely bring out the medicinal effects of the elixir cuisine and he also made some mistakes while infusing his true energy.

Xiao Yue had only provided a single portion of ingredients, so no mistakes must be made. Therefore, Bu Fang had to review that day's mistake in order to obtain success tomorrow.

When the sun rose up on the following day, the imperial city began its busy day.

Within the imperial palace, many eunuchs and court ladies were busily making preparations inside of the majestic Main Hall. There were only two more days before the emperor's funeral and there were still things that needed to be prepared. The atmosphere within the palace was somewhat sorrowful.

Outside of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, Ji Chengxue, dressed in a white robe, was slowly walking toward the Main Hall. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
