Chapter 312: You can breakthrough now (2/2)

The light in the Imperial Decree Hall continued to be lit. The lights in the city were bright as well.

King Duan’s residence was also brightly lit, a figure strolling back and forth within it.

The Crown Prince’s residence was also lit. Many carriages passed by, dropping officials off.

However, Ping Yang’s residence was not lit. Furthermore, there was no movement inside. Ping Yang had left her residence in the middle of the night.

What did she leave to do?

No one knew.

...

The Heaven Dao Pavilion reached through the clouds. Anyone looking at the stars from the peak was bound to be able to feel the light of the stars.

A lady in a pink dress with bright eyes stood quietly at the peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

She stood on a rock, barefoot, as she looked up into the stars.

There was a young girl standing behind her. She wore a thick coat and had a white scarf around her neck. Even so, she still hugged herself, shivering from the cold.

It was late autumn.

However, in places like the Heaven Dao Pavilion, autumn was a bone chillingly cold time.

However, the young girl did not say anything. If Chi Guyan did not say anything, she would not say anything as a servant.

Finally, Chi Guyan lowered her head, her eyes shining brightly. It looked like there was a constellations in her eyes.

Yue Er looked at the constellations in Chi Guyan’s eyes enviously. She was filled with pride that she was able to be by Chi Guyan’s side at this time.

”Today is the court examination?”

”Yes ma’am. You haven’t been concerning yourself with the affairs outside recently. As such, I did not mention it to you.” Yue Er replied.

”Mm... did Nangong Hao participate?” Chi Guyan nodded lightly.

”He did.”

”He really participated...” Chi Guyan’s lips quivered, almost as if she was muttering to herself.

”Missus, do we need to do anything?”

”There’s no use. If it is Nangong Hao, then the results of the court examinations are final.”

”Do you really think that Fang Zhengzhi will lose?”

”I don’t think he will lose, but I can’t think of how he will win. As such, I can’t do anything, and I don’t know what I can do.”

”There are things in this world that you can’t think of?” Yue Er was shocked.

”Yes, this is an example.” Chi Guyan nodded as she looked into the east. That was where the capital was.

Yue Er was stunned when she saw Chi Guyan’s expression.

Ever since Chi Guyan returned to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, she was like a completely changed person.

She did not ask about politics, neither was she as cold as before. She would even talk to Yue Er about cultivation and sword techniques.

Her statement just now was the perfect example.

Chi Guyan of old would never say something like that. No matter how difficult the situation, she would find a solution.

”Congratulations Guyan!” An elderly voice could be heard from afar. Then, a figure approached Chi Guyan from the back.

He was silver haired and wore a white robe. However, his skin was smooth and he looked like a twenty year old youth.

”Greetings Pavilion Leader!” Yue Er kowtowed when she saw the figure.

The leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was Mu Qingfeng, someone who stood at the very top.

”Mm, you accompany Guyan here everyday. You can’t just keep adding layers. This is a warming jade that you can hold onto.” A piece of jade appeared in Yue Er’s hand.

”Thank you Pavilion Leader!” Yue Er kowtowed in thanks.

”Rise.” Mu Qingfeng motioned for Yue Er to recover.

”Master.” The constellations in Chi Guyan’s eyes disappeared as she turned to bow to Mu Qingfeng respectfully.

”Mm, you have already understood it. You can breakthrough now.” Mu Qingfeng nodded.

”Breakthrough? Didn’t master ask me to get a better foundation and breakthrough only two years later?” Chi Guyan did not quite understand Mu Qingfeng.

”Your foundation is solid. Suppressing your breakthrough is meaningless.” Mu Qingfeng shook his head.

”I understand.” Chi Guyan nodded.

”If I am correct, Nangong Hao should also have broken through.” Mu Qingfeng said as he looked at the direction Chi Guyan’s toes were pointing towards.

”Master, you mean that Nangong Hao is in the Supernatural State?”

”Yes, however, I don’t think that anyone knows about this, including the Nangong Family.” Mu Qingfeng nodded as he looked in the direction of the capital. His eyes glowed.

Those were flames.

They were just like the lights in the capital.

Chi Guyan did not speak. She stood quietly in position as she looked at the stars in the sky. The constellations appeared in her eyes once again...
