AST 1882 - Five-colored Luan Phoenix, Mysterious Female State Master (1/2)
Qing Shui recalled there was a State Master in the Western Oxhe Continent too, it should be similar here. They were similar in their status in an empire, but the State Master here was much more powerful than the Western Oxhe Continent.
State Master, the master of an empire. The State Master of the Western Oxhe Continent was a symbol of strength. Meanwhile, the State Master here was a symbol of status. Though the incident today was over, it was not the end yet, something would be coming up soon.
If this State Master had an ineradicable disease, they would surely return. The next time, however, the identities of the men they would send remained unknown.

In a luxurious hall of the Great Confucian Empire’s Xiling, a beautiful fairy-like woman sat in a chair languidly, while she was resting her eyes. Her eyelashes were very long, dark, and thick. Her fair complexion was crystal clear and flawless. Her slender body was enchanting and attractive. Her figure was not exaggerated but complemented with a perfect curve, not voluptuous but finely proportioned.
Standing behind, it was the Second Young Master Hua. At the moment, he was just standing quietly and looking at this remarkable beauty. There was no lust in his eyes, but only admiration.
At this time, the woman opened her eyes. They were like black sapphire, bright and pure but slightly bewitching. Coupled with her long lashes, they were as pretty as the sparkling stars.
Following a patter of footsteps from far, Elder Jian Nu and several men appeared.
“Honored to meet you, State Master!” Elder Jian Nu stepped forward and bowed to the woman three steps away. The other men followed.
“Talk!” The woman who was called the State Master gave them a glance. She did not stare any longer even for the one who lost his arm.
“I’m useless, I’m no match for him, please punish me, State Master,” Elder Jian Nu dropped on one knee as the rest knelt down.
The woman did not seem surprised at all. Rising from the chair, she stood tall and lean. Her purple gown sewn with golden outlines and a pale green crane added a luxurious and domineering sense to her fairylike appearance.
She stretched out gently and held him up at a distance, “Uncle Jian, how many time have I said, you don’t have to greet me this way. No matter what happened, I would not blame you.”
Elder Jian Nu sighed and said nothing. He had been her follower for ages and saved her life once. All these while, she would settle all his troubles and would never blame him for his unfavorable work regardless of the mistakes he made.
Elder Jian Nu was extremely devoted to this State Master, he would rather die than to sell out or betray her. In his heart, this woman was his master. Besides, he took her as his junior, like his family. He didn’t dare to think of her as his daughter or granddaughter because he knew he did not deserve it.
“Alright, go and rest, don’t bother about this anymore.”
The woman did not question the middle-aged man who lost his arm. She did not mention it at all from the beginning, the man did not tell as well.
“Second Young Master Hua!”
“State Master!”
The Second Young Master Hua hurried to the woman.
“Come with me to the Imperial Cuisine Hall, I would like to see how magical is this doctor you said,” said the woman slowly.
