This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 387 Sister Invites Me for Tea

Guanshan Road, Zhen Dian Prefecture.

Prince Zhao's Mansion.

The space rippled with waves as he strode out, followed by Chan'er, who was carrying six children.

Chan'er was surrounded by six stunningly beautiful women, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. The scene was grand and her presence commanding.

According to the people in the backyard of Prince Zhao's mansion, those women came with a fierce attitude and were no good!
Unfortunately, all that flirting was for the blind. It was already late, and Xiang Yuan moved in one step, directly teleporting to Xiao Lingyue's courtyard. There was no one around, and even with Chan'er maintaining her airs, she couldn't find a single spectator.

Not interesting!
Chan'er pouted and turned to walk away again.

Enter through the main gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

"Chan'er, be good. There's still a long way to go. Once we've finished dealing with important matters, you can slowly work things out with Lingyue."

Xiang Yuan grabbed Chan'er and pointed to a spot behind his back, sending a telepathic message to Xiao Lingyue to come over quickly.

Go alone, and don't bring anyone else.

Chan'er, oblivious to Xiang Yuan's subtle actions, persisted, "Husband, what you're saying is unreasonable! Chan'er is here to save people today. I saved my sister's family's lives. What's wrong with going through the main gate? I'm leaving, I'm leaving!"

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke.

She was so excited!
Suddenly, Chan'er narrowed her eyes, as if she had sensed something. She seemed to lose all her bones and whimpered as she fell into Xiang Yuan's arms, insisting that her husband hold her.

As soon as Xiao Lingyue entered the courtyard, her head sank. Looking at the tea-loving Chan'er and then at Jinse, who was in her sixth life, she silently sent a telepathic message to the distance, wondering what had gotten into her that she had led this vixen into the house.

Isn't it chaotic enough already?

The entire Xiao imperial family died suddenly, and Xiao Yan was on the list of those spreading rumors. With no grandmasters in charge of the mansion, Xiao Lingyue temporarily took on the role of guard, keeping her extremely busy and having no time to deal with the witch who came knocking on her door.

There was originally a grandmaster.

Xiao Yin had been hiding in Wenqu Academy, responsible for protecting the Zhao King's family. However, due to the great chaos in the capital, he has now left.

The Prince Zhao's Mansion was the bridgehead for the Xiao family's scheme against the three families of the Heavenly Sect. Xiao Yin came with a mission. There are priorities. With the entire royal family gone, the people of the capital were in a state of panic. The Xiao family had no time to scheme against the three families of the Heavenly Sect. They decisively recalled the elites from all directions. As a Grandmaster, Xiao Yin was no exception.

Xiang Yuan didn't explain via telepathy. He carried Chan'er into the house, found a chair, and sat down. He then explained the background of his divination at Benxindao, where he obtained the curse from the Book of Life and Death and the method to break it.

First, they went to the Path of the Heart, then to the Path of the Yellow Springs in the Southern Frontier, followed by the Tai'an Prefecture Palace. They took some time to examine the body at the Divine Capital Ice Palace. After confirming that there was no hope of saving the body, they rushed to the Prince Zhao's Mansion in a great hurry.

That's why it took so long!

Xiang Yuan updated his methods of spatial manipulation and further improved his time management skills. The series of scenic spot visits mentioned above may seem time-consuming, but in fact, they didn't take much time at all.

Most of the day was spent on the first step: seeking divination from Bai Wuyan at Wushuang Palace.

He got nothing in return, so it was all for nothing. In order not to pad his word count, he didn't say anything more in front of Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er.

Upon hearing that Xiang Yuan had found a solution, Xiao Lingyue's heart sank even further.

Nothing more. Zen'er, nestled in Xiang Yuan's arms, played with the Reincarnation Mirror in her hand, reflecting her own image. Perhaps finding the woman in the mirror too beautiful, she giggled incessantly.

This is infuriating!
Xiao Lingyue rolled her eyes and transmitted her voice in dissatisfaction: "Husband, since you know the way to break it, you can just take the Reincarnation Mirror directly. Why did you have to tell Chan'er the truth? You should know that with her ruthless and unforgiving nature, she will definitely take the opportunity to humiliate me."

When Chan'er met Xiang Yuan, her IQ immediately plummeted. Xiao Lingyue firmly believed that Xiang Yuan had plenty of ways to get his hands on the Reincarnation Mirror, and that everything could have been avoided.

To be honest, isn't this just teaming up with the vixen to bully her?

"It's not that they can't, but that they're unwilling."

Xiang Yuan did not use telepathy. In front of the two women, he said confidently, "If I dare to deceive Chan'er today, I will dare to deceive Lingyue tomorrow. Honesty is the most important quality in a person, especially since husband and wife are one. If I only use sweet words and lose my credibility, will you still believe me in the future?"

Xiao: Is it possible that you no longer believe?

Zen: What do you mean by "If you dare to deceive Zen today, you'll dare to deceive Lingyue tomorrow"? Explain why Zen is listed first.

Xiang Yuan thought he was on the moral high ground, but it was actually useless. Xiao Lingyue felt that he was biased, and Chan'er felt that she was easy to fool in her husband's eyes. Both sides were dissatisfied.

"My lord, Chan'er is thirsty," Chan'er called out sweetly, glancing at Xiao Lingyue.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and serve your sister some tea and water!
Xiao Lingyue's expression changed. After a brief struggle, she took out some tea, brewed it herself, and placed it in front of Chan'er.

"Please have some tea, sister!"

"..."

Chan'er was stunned and looked at Xiao Lingyue in disbelief. The arrival was too simple and too boring, making it difficult for her to feel any joy.

Why don't you put up a fight?

Where is your self-respect? Where is your pride? Where is the grief and indignation you felt when serving tea and water?
Seeing Yuan nod in approval, Chan'er's face darkened, and she snorted coldly, "Serving tea is too slow. Chan'er is no longer thirsty. You can drink it yourself!"

"You've come at the perfect time; I'm thirsty."

Xiang Yuan took the teacup, took a small sip, and exclaimed, "As expected of Ling Yue's craftsmanship, it's really delicious."

It smells delicious! Let me try it!

Chan'er put her arm around Xiang Yuan's neck, tasted the imported tea in front of Xiao Lingyue, and said disdainfully, "It tastes terrible, it's not fragrant at all."

The difference in their performances was immediately apparent.

Xiao Lingyue is sensible and grateful. Regardless of Chan'er's purpose, she has brought the Reincarnation Mirror today, so what's wrong with calling her "sister"?

Not only is it not shameful, but compared to her, Chan'er appears petty and narrow-minded. She was clearly saving people, but she was morally blackmailed by the idea of ​​seeking repayment for kindness.

Especially when facing Xiang Yuan.

Chan'er had no appetite for tea; the more cheerful she had been when she arrived, the more annoyed she was now. The vixen wouldn't look for the cause within herself; the fault lay not with her, but with Xiao Lingyue. Knowing she was powerless to change the situation, the lowly servant lowered her stance, feigning a pitiful and well-mannered demeanor to win Xiang Yuan's sympathy.

What a performance! Even a vixen like her would blush!

Chan'er stood up with a grumble, no longer mentioning the roles of older and younger sister, and pretended that nothing had happened. She said to Xiao Lingyue, "Chan'er came to the Prince Zhao's mansion to save people. You owe me a great debt of gratitude. From now on, you must obey my every command!"

Xiao Lingyue smiled slightly: "I will never forget your great kindness, of course."

Chan'er threw another punch, but it landed on cotton, making her even more annoyed.

Her dark eyes lit up as she thought of a way to humiliate Xiao Lingyue. She became eager and expectant again, adopting the posture of a savior: "Lead the way, Chan'er will go and save your prince father, so that your whole family can be saved."

At this critical juncture, whatever Zen'er says goes. Xiao Lingyue suppressed her conscience's slight pain, praised her for being beautiful and kind-hearted, and led the way out the door.

Xiang Yuan followed closely behind, followed by the ostentatious Chan'er.

Jinse's six incarnations were all stunning beauties, each capable of captivating a nation. She managed to gather six of them at once, all of them behaving like maids and servants, which made her extremely proud.

Given that this is the enemy's stronghold, this move is tantamount to holding a military parade in the enemy's capital.

What a win!
In April, the weather is as changeable as Chan'er's face; her mood immediately improved.

Happiness is constant; given that the total amount remains unchanged, Chan'er's mood improved, while Xiao Lingyue's mood plummeted. She muttered in a low voice, "With her acting so strangely, aren't you going to say a few words to her?"

"She's so cute!"

"More hateful than hateful."

Xiao Lingyue retorted, then said, "The silver moon veil on the demoness's face has always been carried by Master. Did you not mention that?"

"I didn't say that?"

Xiang Yuan was greatly surprised, and then said, "I remember it said fair trade, no debts between the two parties... or maybe it wasn't said, since you don't like to hear it."

Seeing Xiao Lingyue's silence and resentment, Xiang Yuan gritted his teeth and added, "Madam, please don't be like this. I understand the principle that it's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality. I'll try my best to get the Wujie Sword for you later."

"..."

Xiao Lingyue was even more speechless.

The demoness doesn't know when to stop; she only knows how to cause rivers of bloodshed. And the most speechless thing is yet to come!
After leaving the courtyard, more and more passersby appeared around, some were maids from the backyard, and some were women from the Zhao Prince's mansion. When they saw the beautiful and elegant military parade, they were all shocked.

Chan'er had no idea what these women were thinking. Treating them as Xiao Lingyue's teammates, she stepped forward, grabbed Xiang Yuan's arm, and called him "husband" repeatedly, pulling him into the parade. A short while later, in the courtyard of Prince Zhao's residence.

There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, with many soldiers wearing helmets and armor.

He Yuanzhi, the head of the guards of Prince Zhao's mansion, stared in disbelief as Xiang Yuan and his entourage walked by, while the soldiers beside him were also dumbfounded.

Unlike others who were amazed by Jinse's sixth incarnation and suspected that a group of fairies had descended to earth, He Yuanzhi knew that Xiang Yuan was engaged to both Princess Xiao Lingyue and Princess Xiao Lingyan of the Zhao Prince's Mansion, so...

What does "xiang gong" mean? Does it mean the prince consort has another lover outside?

And right in front of Xiao Lingyue!
The princess is already a grandmaster, how can she tolerate this?
As He Yuanzhi watched Xiang Yuan's departing figure, in a daze, Xiao Yan's figure slowly walked over and overlapped with Xiang Yuan's.

King Zhao did not die in one generation; his ninety-one sons inherited his mantle and showed a tendency to carry it forward and make it even greater.

The Prince Zhao's mansion occupies a vast area, with more than ten buildings in just one central courtyard. Xiao Yan was persuaded by Xiao Qian to stay in an empty room, unable to go in or out. Every day when he was allowed to go out for exercise, a large number of soldiers followed him. Those who did not know the situation might have thought that Xiao Qian had imprisoned Xiao Yan and become the real person in charge of the Prince Zhao's mansion.

Those who knew already thought so!

The central courtyard was heavily guarded, protecting Xiao Yan completely. Even a fly would be stopped and had to be stopped by fingerprint or facial recognition.

Just like that defensive line, it is as solid as a rock and unbreakable.

But in the eyes of a grandmaster, this defense line is no different from thin air. At present, the only thing that can play a defensive role in the Zhaowang Mansion is Xiao Lingyue.

The door opened, and Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, playing chess with himself. When he saw Xiao Lingyue leading a group of stunningly beautiful women into the room, he was completely taken aback.

Because Xiang Yuan was surrounded by a group of beauties, and the woman in the lead had her arm around his.

Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched violently. When he first met Xiang Yuan, he knew that this kid was shameless and ruthless, like a wild boar in a vegetable garden. Whoever's vegetable garden was invaded by Xiang Yuan would suffer.

Out of trust in Xiao He, he went against his conscience and agreed to the marriage.

I never expected that this shameless man would actually bring his lover home, and even...

And they're all so beautiful!

Xiao Yan desperately tried to wink at Xiao Lingyue, telling her not to worry about saving face, that she was already a Grandmaster and should put her ideas into action. He said that while he did not support her mother, he supported her.

The Xiao family's daughter can't afford to be at a disadvantage, no matter what she eats!

The effect was mediocre. Xiao Lingyue simply sighed and explained that Chan'er was the Holy Maiden of the Yellow Springs, and that she had come to save her and ensure that the tragedy that had befallen the royal family would not be repeated in the Zhao Prince's mansion.

Xiao Yan was quite annoyed upon hearing this, because it was because of him that Xiao Lingyue had to endure humiliation and seek peace.

Chan'er looked on with shining eyes, tightened her arms around him, and called out "Husband" again.

Because it was Xiao Yan, there was no place for him on the moral high ground. Xiang Yuan felt no guilt whatsoever. He had Chan'er take out the Ancient Mirror of Reincarnation, and he used Yin energy to write the Curse of Life and Death Reincarnation, cursing Xiao Yan three times.

If one time isn't enough, you have to curse it several times to feel at ease.

Practice makes perfect. Having had the experience of practicing with Liu Che before, this time he was able to complete the curse ritual with ease.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, finally free from confinement.

"Father-in-law, don't be too happy yet. The defenses of Prince Zhao's mansion are too lax. In the eyes of the mastermind, it is full of loopholes. For your own sake and for the sake of everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion, you will have to stay in this room for a while longer." Xiang Yuan waved his hand and set up a spatial restriction, which gave the small dark room where he was confined an epic-level enhancement.

It's not meant in any other way, it's just for safety reasons.

……

An hour later, Xiang Yuan returned from Southern Jin with Chan'er.

He stepped into the capital city of Shangyuan, dispersed his aura, and found Li Yuanrong, the patriarch of the Li clan, explaining the Book of Life and Death and the method to break it.

Upon hearing that the mastermind possessed such heaven-defying power as the Book of Life and Death, Li Yuanrong immediately panicked. But upon hearing that the solution was the Cycle of Life and Death combined with the Ancient Mirror of Reincarnation, Li Yuanrong hesitated again.

Li Yuanrong trusted Xiang Yuan because Ji Boli acted as the middleman, and Xiang Yuan had done a great favor by saving the Southern Jin's imperial lineage. However, the emperor of Southern Jin was not the emperor of Northern Qi, so he had limited trust in Xiang Yuan and dared not entrust his life to him.

Therefore, Xiang Yuan was unable to cast the Cycle of Life and Death spell on the emperor, who instead put forward three princes, thus diversifying his resources.

Xiang Yuan did not refuse and received a huge sum of money afterward.

Chan'er was quite dissatisfied with this matter. Even after returning to the Prince Zhao's residence, she was still talking about it: "My husband is too kind-hearted. According to Chan'er's suggestion, we should have first massacred the palace and killed several grandmasters. The dog emperor would have had no choice but to agree."

Then I'll become the villain!
Just as Xiang Yuan was about to lecture Chan'er and persuade her to be a kind-hearted little vixen, he saw Cheng Yuling walking towards him as soon as he entered Xiao Lingyue's courtyard.

At this time, Xiao Lingyue was still protecting Xiao Yan. According to Xiang Yuan's idea, once he returned to the Zhaowang Mansion and closely monitored the spatial restriction, Xiao Lingyue could resign from her job as a guard and would no longer need to watch over Xiao Yan's confinement at all times.

Cheng Yuling came here because she had received word of the affair and was there to catch them in the act.

Seeing the furious Cheng Yuling, Chan'er tilted her head and said with interest, "Husband, this is one of the wives of Prince Zhao. She looks somewhat similar to Sister Lingyue!"

Where are they similar? I didn't notice it at first.

Xiang Yuan thought to himself, and before Cheng Yuling got close, he used telepathy to tell Chan'er that although Cheng Yuling was Xiao Lingyue's mother, their relationship was far more than just that of mother-in-law and son-in-law.

Xiang Yuan and Xiao He were sworn brothers. If Cheng Yuling was considered half a son, then a son-in-law was half a son, and half plus half equals one son.

Therefore, as long as Chan'er and Xiao Lingyue don't get along, they can close their eyes and make a fuss as long as they don't fight. Their grudges must not involve Cheng Yuling.

Chan'er pouted in dissatisfaction. Just as Xiao Lingyue felt that Xiang Yuan was biased towards Chan'er, Chan'er also felt that Xiang Yuan was biased towards Xiao Lingyue. She had no good feelings towards Cheng Yuling who came quickly.

"Mother, what brings you here?" Xiang Yuan stepped forward with a look of surprise and joy.

"Even a vixen has come to bully me, am I supposed to pretend I'm blind?!"

Cheng Yuling glared angrily at Xiang Yuan, then pointed at Cheng Jian and Chan'er: "You ignorant... wait, what's with the silver moon veil on your face?"

Cheng Yuling was completely bewildered. If she wasn't mistaken, this silver moon gauze had always been covering her master's face. How could it have been replaced?
Chan'er smiled disdainfully: "I didn't expect that a junior like you in the Innate Realm would recognize Silver Moon Veil. You do have some discernment."

Oh my god, this can't be said!

“Mother, Father-in-law is now out of danger. If you don’t go and check on him soon, the other princesses will be ahead of him.”

Xiang Yuan stepped aside, his face serious, and blocked Cheng Yuling's way. He hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Xiao Lingyue, telling her to come quickly, otherwise her mother and senior sister would discover her husband's affair with her master.

Almost instantly, Xiao Lingyue teleported to the scene, reached out from behind, covered Cheng Yuling's mouth, and snatched her away in a flash.

Chan'er stared blankly at the scene, a string of question marks flashing across her mind. She tugged at Xiang Yuan's sleeve and said cheerfully, "Husband, my sister has such a murderous aura. Does she not get along with her own mother?"

"The situation is a bit complicated."

Xiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to say, "Senior Sister Bai Feng, also known as the Palace Master Bai, has two disciples. Her eldest disciple is Senior Sister Cheng Yuling, who was just now, and her closed-door disciple is Ling Yue. That's why Senior Sister Cheng recognized Yin Yue Sha at a glance."

"???"

Zen'er had even more questions on her mind, but after trying to figure it out, she still couldn't understand.

Are you confused?

"It's a bit messy."

"That's normal. I get blurry-eyed when I look in the mirror too."

Xiang Yuan pointed to his face and leaned forward, saying, "Chan'er, the person has been saved, and the tea has been drunk. Don't you think it's time to go back to the Yellow Springs Path and devote yourself to cultivation?"

"What kind of talk is this, my lord? The Prince Zhao's mansion is in imminent danger. If Chan'er leaves now, how will she ever face her sister again?"

Chan'er gave a soft snort and hurried straight to the inner room. The Yellow Springs Road was nowhere near as fun as the Prince Zhao's Mansion; she didn't want to leave.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lingyue abducted Cheng Yuling and entered the Sixth Princess's courtyard, explaining Chan'er's identity as the Yellow Spring Saintess and her purpose for coming.

They came to rescue people!
Mother, don't feel wronged, your daughter is the one who feels wronged!
Cheng Yuling vaguely heard a bunch of technical terms, such as the Book of Life and Death, reincarnation, and blood-based curses, but she didn't understand any of them. She skipped over the topic and asked the soul-searching question: "Why is Master's Silver Moon Veil being worn on the demoness's face?"

Xiao Lingyue: ()
I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!
"Lingyue, say something!"

"..."
