Chapter 67 It turns out he was jealous.
"Young master, where are we going?"
Mu Ziyan asked telepathically.
"Let's go to the State of Yu first."
Qin Xiao replied via telepathy.
"The State of Yu?"
Mu Ziyan opened her beautiful eyes slightly, and then remembered that Qin Xiao had asked about Yu Fengling, the Grand Preceptor of Yu Kingdom, and she vaguely understood something.
She didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded obediently: "Okay, young master, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
She turned back to the embroidery tower, quickly packed a few changes of clothes and some personal belongings, and soon returned to the workshop.
Qin Xiao nodded slightly to Mu Yunshan, then put his arm around Mu Ziyan's slender waist, and the two walked out of the workshop.
Once they reached a secluded spot, a crimson light emerged, enveloping the two of them, and they vanished from the sky above Jinyang Prefecture in the blink of an eye.
……
High in the sky, the fierce wind was steadily kept out by the escape light.
Mu Ziyan nestled in Qin Xiao's arms, feeling the mountains and rivers rushing past beneath her feet. She felt both novel and slightly nervous.
This was her first time experiencing such high-speed flight.
"Young master, is our journey to the Kingdom of Yu... for the sake of the Kingdom of Yu's Grand Tutor?"
She asked softly, raising her beautiful, watery eyes to look at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao looked down at her, not hiding anything: "Yes, but not entirely. Besides Yu Fengling, there's also the Empress of Yu Kingdom, Yu Qingyi."
Mu Ziyan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Empress...
Including Sister Luo, whom we mentioned before, the young master now has three women of such extraordinary status by his side.
A slight pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
But more often it's about understanding and compliance.
Now that you've embarked on the path of cultivation, you should take things less seriously.
Besides, she could feel the young master's affection for her.
"Has the young master already... included them in his list of Daoist partners?"
Mu Ziyan spoke again, asking the question tactfully.
Qin Xiao said frankly, "Yu Fengling is already my concubine. Yu Qingyi and I were married three days ago in the capital of Dayu."
Mu Ziyan took a slight breath.
We're getting married!
This means that the Empress of Yu was already the prince's lawfully wedded wife.
Their status was probably above that of these "concubines".
After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled, her smile gentle and sincere: "Then I should congratulate you, young master, on finding another beautiful woman. I have also heard of the Empress of Yu Kingdom; it is said that she is exceptionally talented and beautiful, possessing extraordinary abilities. It is her good fortune to be by your side, young master."
Qin Xiao looked at Mu Ziyan with some surprise.
Mu Ziyan's intelligence and open-mindedness are truly admirable.
He tightened his arms, pulling Mu Ziyan closer, and said gently, "Ziyan, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. It is my fortune to have you by my side. There is no distinction between superior and inferior partners; we are all people I wish to walk hand in hand with on the path to immortality."
Mu Ziyan felt a warmth in her heart, gently rested her cheek against Qin Xiao's chest, and said softly, "I understand. As long as I can stay by your side and help you with your cultivation, I will be content."
She thought for a moment, then asked, "Young master, does the Empress of Yu also possess spiritual roots? Would she be willing to cultivate immortality with you?"
Mentioning this, Qin Xiao's lips curled into a slight smile: "She has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and her aptitude is exceptional. As for whether she's willing or not..."
I recall Yu Qingyi's aloof and stubborn appearance, and the shock and confusion that flashed in her eyes at the end.
"She has no choice but to agree. Besides, I have already revealed a corner of the secret to immortality and the path to the Great Dao to her. She is a smart woman and knows how to choose."
Mu Ziyan nodded knowingly.
Heavenly Spiritual Root!
That should be top-tier qualification!
It will surely be of great benefit to your cultivation if you find such a companion.
The slight bitterness in her heart was completely replaced by happiness for Qin Xiao.
The two chatted all the way, and their relationship became even closer and more harmonious because of this frankness.
Qin Xiao also briefly told Mu Ziyan about the Yu Kingdom royal family's rudimentary cultivation tradition and the matter of the jade slip of Bibo Sanren.
Mu Ziyan listened with amazement, her heart filled with boundless longing for the vast world of cultivation.
About an hour later.
The outline of the capital city of Yu State is already in sight.
Qin Xiao activated his escape technique and landed directly in the courtyard in front of Phoenix Palace.
It was already afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.
The palace servants were startled when they saw Qin Xiao and a stunningly beautiful stranger suddenly appear.
Upon recognizing Qin Xiao, their expressions immediately changed to respectful and joyful, and they all bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty Emperor Yong!"
Qin Xiao waved his hand, took Mu Ziyan's hand, and walked straight towards the bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, Yu Qingyi sat behind a desk by the window, holding a scroll of memorials, but had not turned the page for a long time.
She was dressed in a light blue casual outfit and wore no makeup.
Her black hair was loosely tied up with only a jade hairpin.
Her profile appeared exceptionally cool and refined in the sunlight.
However, a faint blue shadow still lingers in the air.
Yu Fengling was also there.
She sat listlessly on the embroidered stool at the lower end of the table, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought.
They both looked haggard.
The sound of the palace door being pushed open startled the two of them.
Yu Qingyi looked up, and when she saw Qin Xiao, her pupils contracted slightly, and her fingers tightened around the memorial.
When her gaze fell upon the stunningly beautiful and gentle woman beside Qin Xiao, a layer of frost settled in her phoenix eyes.
Qin Xiao actually brought a woman with him?
Yu Fengling's peach blossom eyes widened as she looked at Qin Xiao and then at Mu Ziyan, her face filled with surprise and confusion.
Qin Xiao seemed oblivious to the sudden drop in temperature in the hall, and walked in with Mu Ziyan as usual.
"Qingyi, Fengling."
He calmly introduced them, saying in a flat tone, "This is Miss Mu Ziyan, who is also my Daoist partner."
Then, he said to Mu Ziyan, "Ziyan, this is Empress Yu Qingyi of the Yu Kingdom. The one next to her is the Grand Preceptor of the Yu Kingdom, Yu Fengling."
Mu Ziyan stepped forward and gave Yu Qingyi a graceful bow, her posture elegant and poised, her voice gentle: "Ziyan greets Sister Qingyi."
He smiled and nodded to Yu Fengling, saying, "Greetings, Miss Fengling."
Yu Qingyi sat there, neither getting up nor responding.
His gaze, sharp as an icy blade, swept over Mu Ziyan before finally settling on Qin Xiao's face. He said coldly, "Qin Xiao, what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan's pretty face stiffened.
Yu Fengling also looked surprised and quickly said to Yu Qingyi, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry..."
As she spoke, she kept giving Yu Qingyi meaningful glances, hoping she wouldn't provoke this formidable woman.
If Qin Xiao gets angry, he might impulsively kill several people, or even killing her would be considered lenient.
I'm afraid the entire Yu Kingdom, along with its people, will suffer as a result!
"Wasn't what I said clear enough?"
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and said to Yu Qingyi, "This Miss Mu is my Daoist partner, and she is on equal footing with you. Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingyi trembled: "One Yu Fengling isn't enough, you also want me to serve you along with other women... You really are..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao chuckled and said, "I wondered what it was. It turns out you're just jealous."
Yu Qingyi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened: "Nonsense! Why would I be jealous?"
