Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Hundred Flowers Courtyard.

Chen Qingying sat on the stone bench, pondering whether she should go to see the Carefree King tonight or go to see him now.

She felt that things couldn't continue like this. If they did, Aunt Lin's health would probably be ruined by the carefree prince.

Just then, a female disciple from the Moonflower Palace entered the courtyard. "Palace Master, soldiers from the Prince's Palace request an audience."

Chen Qingying said expressionlessly, "Come in."

The soldiers entered the courtyard the next moment, and Chen Qingying asked in confusion, "What is it?"

People from the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion rarely came to see her, which made Chen Qingying suspect that the devil Prince of Xiaoyao was planning to make a move against Lin Yingqiu again, so he specially sent someone to invite Lin Yingqiu.

However, at this moment, the soldier spoke up: "Greetings, Palace Master Chen. Palace Master Chen, the Imperial Preceptor wishes to see you. Would it be convenient for you?"

Chen Qingying frowned slightly.

Does Xuan Ying really want to see me?
Chen Qingying immediately guessed what it was about.

It's highly likely that Xuan Yingzhen discovered that the aura of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion had become unusually strong recently, so he wanted to see if the Yuehua Palace was behind it.

Chen Qingying said coldly, "Let her in."

"Yes, Palace Master Chen."

In a short while, the female disciples of Yuehua Palace led Xuan Yingzhen to Baihua Courtyard.

After Xuan Yingzhen entered the courtyard, Chen Qingying spoke first, asking, "Why is the Imperial Preceptor here to see me instead of protecting His Majesty in the palace?"

Xuan Yingzhen said, "Palace Master Chen should know why I came to find you."

"The Emperor Star appears and disappears intermittently, while the fortune of the Carefree Prince's Mansion is soaring. This must be the work of Palace Master Chen."

Upon hearing Xuan Yingzhen's words, Chen Qingying thought to herself, "So that's why he came to find her."

Just as Chen Qingying was about to say something, Xuan Yingzhen continued, "Although I don't know how Palace Master Chen did it, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. If the Great Zhou's fortune is lost, the world will inevitably descend into chaos, and countless lives will be lost. When the Great Zhou splits, it will not benefit either of us, and in the end, we will gain nothing."

Upon hearing Xuan Yingzhen's words, Chen Qingying sat on the stone bench with a calm expression, "The Imperial Preceptor really thinks highly of me."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yingzhen frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning behind Chen Qingying's words.

Chen Qingying continued, "The Imperial Preceptor should not be looking for me today, but for the master of this palace."

Xuan Yingzhen asked, "What does Palace Master Chen mean by this?"

Chen Qingying retorted, "Does the Imperial Preceptor really believe that the Moonflower Palace has the ability to steal the fortune of the Great Zhou?"

"If Yuehua Palace really had the ability to do this, it would have done it long ago, instead of waiting until now."

Xuan Yingzhen fell into deep thought. To be honest, she also had some doubts in her heart. However, with the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion having such a strong fortune, and Chen Qingying being in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, it was hard not to suspect that all of this was related to the Yuehua Palace.

Moreover, if even the Moonflower Palace couldn't steal the nation's destiny, then it would be even more impossible for anyone in the Carefree Prince's Mansion to do so.

Chen Qingying knew that Xuan Yingzhen wouldn't believe her words. After all, before she saw Lin Yingqiu being humiliated by Lu Ming, she probably wouldn't have believed that the rumored good-for-nothing was now actually a Foundation Establishment Immortal.

Chen Qingying then reminded him, "Considering that the Imperial Preceptor is the Sect Master of the Tianxuan Sect, I'd like to remind you that there's no need to cause any more trouble. The Great Zhou has already produced a second Foundation Establishment Immortal." Upon hearing this, Xuan Yingzhen's mind went blank, and his brows furrowed.

The second Foundation Establishment Immortal?
How can this be……

Could it be that the patriarch of the Moonflower Palace has regained his strength?
There have been rumors that the patriarch of the Moonflower Palace was actually a Foundation Establishment Immortal, but his cultivation level dropped because his lifespan was coming to an end and he was injured.

Xuan Yingzhen looked at Chen Qingying with suspicion, trying to find traces of lying on Chen Qingying's face.

Chen Qingying continued, "Grand Preceptor, you need not doubt my words. Soon you will know who this Foundation Establishment Immortal I am talking about is."

With the current abundance of fortune in the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion, Chen Qingying doesn't believe that the Prince of Xiaoyao is willing to remain the Prince of Xiaoyao forever. Perhaps it won't be long before the Prince of Xiaoyao pulls the Emperor of Zhou off the throne. At that time, Xuan Yingzhen will naturally know that the Foundation Establishment Immortal she was talking about is the Prince of Xiaoyao.

Xuan Yingzhen fell silent. If what Chen Qingying said was true, then she really didn't need to bother anymore. In the hundreds of years that King Lu Xiaoyao had existed, no one had taken that step.

Now that another Foundation Establishment Immortal has arrived, he will certainly not allow anyone else to take that step before this Foundation Establishment Immortal perishes.

The Celestial Realm requires communication with heaven and earth, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy. In this world where spiritual energy is scarce, it is already very difficult to raise a Foundation Establishment Immortal. That Foundation Establishment Immortal would certainly not want to see others steal his spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yingzhen couldn't help but clench her jade fist.

Chen Qingying saw the beautiful woman's unwillingness and said, "I have heard that that person has other methods to take that step, and can help a Grandmaster become a Celestial in just one night."

Hearing this, Xuan Yingzhen came back to her senses. She stared at Chen Qingying's cold and aloof face. "Palace Master Chen, are you joking with me?"

Xuan Yingzhen had never heard of any way to turn them into celestial beings in just one night.

Chen Qingying said, "Whether it's true or not, the Imperial Preceptor will know in a while."

To be honest, Chen Qingying was actually unwilling to be scolded by Xiaoyao Wang. Although she didn't particularly care about that kind of thing, she was still a little scared when she thought of Lin Yingqiu crying and screaming because of Lu Ming.

Chen Qingying felt a little unbalanced. If even she had been taken by the Prince of Xiaoyao, then why was Xuan Yingzhen, who was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world, able to remain unharmed? So she wanted to drag Xuan Yingzhen down with her.

Xuan Yingzhen said, "Could you tell me who that person is?"

Chen Qingying said indifferently, "Grand Preceptor, there's no need to rush. You'll find out soon."

Seeing that Chen Qingying was unwilling to talk, Xuan Yingzhen did not continue to ask. She turned around and left Baihua Courtyard. Just as she was about to leave Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, she suddenly remembered what Chen Qingying had said earlier.

Chen Qingying just said that the person he should look for most is the master of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. Isn't the master of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion the Xiaoyao Prince?
Could it be that the Foundation Establishment Immortal is related to the Carefree King?
Upon considering this possibility, Xuan Yingzhen immediately said to the maid who was leading the way, "I wish to see your king."

"Please wait a moment, Imperial Preceptor."

The maidservant immediately went to the inner courtyard to report.

Lu Ming was already in bed, ready to sleep, when a maid's voice came from the doorway, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor requests an audience!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming was taken aback. There were so many people looking for him today. Lu Ming then said, "Bring her here."

A moment later, Xuan Yingzhen arrived at Lu Ming's courtyard. Lu Ming had already gotten out of bed and was sitting in the pavilion.

Lu Ming took the initiative to pick up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Xuan Yingzhen, and then said, "Grand Preceptor, please sit down. May I ask what important matter you have brought to see me?" (End of Chapter)
