A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

To Ye Yun's surprise, Xiao Qing did not take him to the Azure Palace, but instead took him to another part of the Imperial Palace.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he frowned and asked.

"Grand Preceptor Xiao, where is this...?"

Clearly, this was not Azure's palace, and she had never brought him here before.

If the person in front of him wasn't Xiao Qing, he would have doubted the other party's motives.

Xiao Qing did not reveal the truth directly, but instead smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong understood quickly."

He stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.

Looking in that direction, I found a large number of people gathered in one part of the corridor.

Most of them were dressed in official robes, and no one dared to say a word, remaining silent as if they were waiting for something.

Not long after, someone came out of the inner room, and then the next person went in.

Ye Yun stared in surprise for a moment, then asked in astonishment.

"Hmm? This is...?"

At this moment, Xiao Qing smiled and explained.

"Her Highness the Eldest Princess has rendered meritorious service in eliminating the Ascension Sect, and has therefore been given more positions, which has naturally kept her very busy."

"In that case, it seems a bit inappropriate for a bunch of people to always go to the princess's palace to look for her."

"For this purpose, a special office study room has been set up here."

"For any matters requiring reporting, please come directly here!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see……"

It seems that breaking up the Ascension Cult is the biggest benefit for Canglan.

For places like their Ancient Road Holy Land and Moon Wheel Holy Land, the goal is more to eliminate a potential future threat than to reap actual benefits.

"So...do we still have to wait in line here?"

Looking at the long queue, Ye Yun felt helpless. If they had to line up one by one, who knew how long it would take?

Fortunately, Xiao Qing immediately smiled at him.

"Let's go, there's no need to queue here, I'll take you in directly."

As the Imperial Advisor, he still received some special treatment.

To save time, Ye Yun didn't waste any words and followed him directly.

The people who were waiting nearby bowed to Xiao Qing when they saw him.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Imperial Advisor!"

Xiao Qing simply nodded in acknowledgment, then led Ye Yun into the study.

This place is similar to the study where Hong Xian'er works in the Holy Maiden Temple.

Princess Canglan sat at the table, listening to the reports from the officials in front of her, while reviewing the memorials on the table.

Compared to her previous casual appearance in her palace, dressed in pajamas.

At this moment, Canglan was wearing a gorgeous dress, and her temperament was more aloof than before.

To be honest, this does have a bit of an empress vibe.

After the two entered, Cang Lan, who was behind the desk, couldn't help but look up.

When she saw Ye Yun and the Imperial Advisor Xiao Qing in front of her, she looked surprised, but then smiled happily.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong? Imperial Preceptor?"

"Miss Azure, it's been a long time."

Ye Yun stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Compared to others, he was much more casual.

"Hmm...it has indeed been a while since we last met."

Cang Lan smiled and then waved to the official who was about to report.

"Alright, you can go out now."

"I need to receive guests. Please have those people outside go back first. I will continue my work here tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the man paused for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He was still a little annoyed. He had waited in line for so long, and it was finally his turn, but he would have to wait in line all over again tomorrow.

This class... let whoever wants it take it...

After the official left and spoke to the remaining people,

Although everyone was disappointed, they had no choice but to go back first.

In the study, Ye Yun went to the desk.

He glanced at the pile of memorials in front of him, then turned to look at Cang Lan and sighed.

"It seems Miss Azure has become quite busy."

Upon hearing this, Canglan couldn't help but sigh softly, as if feeling frustrated.

"Ugh, I wake up every day to a mountain of work, I'm so busy I could die."

Compared to before, her workload has more than doubled.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and offered words of comfort.

"The fact that she's so busy just proves that Miss Azure's position is even more important, doesn't it?"

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you really know how to comfort people."

Cang Lan smiled, which was indeed a great benefit to her goal.

However, after that, she glanced at the two of them and asked in confusion.

"Speaking of which, you two came together?"

As far as I can remember, I think I've only met these two once.

At this moment, Xiao Qing glanced at Cang Lan and explained with a smile.

"We just happened to run into each other on the way, so we came together."

Ye Yun nodded and sighed softly to Xiao Qing.

"Yes, if it weren't for Grand Preceptor Xiao, I probably wouldn't have been able to get in for a while."

Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, Hong Xian'er understood that the other party must have encountered some kind of accident.

So much so that she immediately asked a question.

"Oh? What happened?"

Ye Yun shrugged and smiled faintly.

"I was stopped by the guards outside."

Upon hearing this, Canglan immediately understood what had happened.

She frowned, her tone cold.

"Those guys still need to be disciplined."

These words were also addressed to Ye Yun.

Of course, Ye Yun couldn't really let her punish them, and smiled as he said.

"Don't worry about it. They've done their job well. You should be relieved to have these guards."

This answer surprised Canglan somewhat.

"I didn't realize Fellow Daoist Nangong was so concerned about others."

"That's true, I've always been very concerned about others."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled faintly.

"By the way, Miss Canglan asked Ye Yun to pass on a message to me, asking why I have come here?"

This is what he most wants to know right now.

"Please wait a moment, we can talk about this privately later."

Azure wasn't too worried about this.

She smiled gently, then turned her gaze to Xiao Qing and asked.

"Grand Preceptor Xiao, why have you come to see me...?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing stepped forward and placed several jade slips on the desk.

Her expression was very serious as she looked at Canglan and explained.

"Your Highness, these are the files you requested; everything relevant is here."

Seeing this, Canglan glanced at the jade slips on the table, picked one up and flipped through it.

A short while later, a smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you for your trouble, Imperial Preceptor Xiao."

"It's my duty, and it's only right and proper."

Xiao Qing nodded and said modestly.

Judging from this, it's clear that Canglan asked Grand Preceptor Xiao to do something for her.

To be honest, Ye Yun was still somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, this Imperial Preceptor Xiao is the emperor's confidant and a staunch member of the emperor's faction. Why would he help Canglan do things?

Of course, now is clearly not the time to ask that.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qing, having completed her task, seemed to sense the atmosphere in the study.

He then gave the two of them a faint smile.

"I've finished my business, so I'll take my leave now. You two can continue your conversation."

Ye Yun nodded.

"Grand Preceptor Xiao, if you have time, let's have some tea together."

"Yes, definitely."

Xiao Qing smiled slightly and did not refuse.

Watching the two say goodbye, a strange expression appeared on the blue-faced man beside him.

At this moment, Xiao Qing glanced at her.

"Your Highness, I'll head back now."

Azure turned around and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, goodbye, Imperial Preceptor Xiao."

After Xiao Qing left, only Ye Yun and Cang Lan remained in the study.

At this moment, Cang Lan glanced at Xiao Qing, then at Ye Yun.

Finally, she looked at Ye Yun with great interest and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you don't actually harbor any strange thoughts about our National Preceptor Xiao, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun felt a wave of embarrassment, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Miss Azure, this is no joke."

"Or do you want me to prove right now whether there's anything wrong with my orientation?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and gently stroked the pale blue face.

If it were anyone else, daring to do this, they probably wouldn't be far from losing them.

But who can blame him? He's 'Senior Nangong' now!

When he touched her cheek, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she instinctively took a half step back.

She distanced herself from Ye Yun and shook her head.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, wait a moment, this place really won't work."

Based on her understanding of this person, if she hadn't given him a heads-up, she probably would have been executed right there and then.

Seeing her wary look, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly and withdrew his hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not that thirsty."

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Ye Yun changed the subject.

"However, Miss Azure, I have traveled a great distance to get here."

"If we don't offer some compensation, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable?"

Without even thinking about it, given Senior Nangong's methods and resources, there's only one compensation she needs to provide.

Cang Lan pursed her lips, and after a while, she sighed.

"I understand. I will make it up to Fellow Daoist Nangong tonight."

She's come to terms with it now.

Since we've already given it to them so many times, what's one or two more times?

Seeing that she was so cooperative, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Cang Lan sighed helplessly, seemingly lamenting his lecherousness.

Then, she asked Ye Yun a question.

"By the way, Senior Nangong, you should already know about the Ascension Sect, right?"

"Yes, that kid Ye Yun has already explained it to me in detail."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and started talking nonsense without even blinking.

"You did a good job, you actually wiped out the Ascension Sect completely."

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan chuckled softly, displaying a rather modest demeanor.

"Outsiders may not know, but I know this very well."

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Nangong's intelligence, how could we have won this battle?"

"If we're really going to talk about it, you're the biggest contributor to this battle!"

She's the one who truly makes people feel wonderful.

Of course, Ye Yun couldn't possibly take all the credit.

Afterwards, he did try to be a little modest.

"It's not that exaggerated. In the end, it was the result of the joint efforts of all parties that led to this victory."

After speaking, he looked at the azure sky in front of him, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

"However, none of that matters now."

"The key question is, Miss Azure, what brings you here so suddenly?"
