The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 53 Palace Master’s Concerns

The study door opened and Xue Yi walked in.

There was only one lamp lighting up inside, and the huge bookshelves cast long black shadows from the low lights, like ghosts, creating a depressing atmosphere.

The master of the palace was sitting on the ground. He knew that Xue Yi was coming and did not open his eyes or speak.

But he released his true energy and created a barrier, still not wanting Tie Yi to hear their conversation.

Xue Yi knew that the Palace Master was listening, so he picked up the important point and said directly: "Palace Master, this time we went to Yinma Lake, we met a master of the Immortality Realm!"

"oh?"

Upon hearing that there was an immortality realm, the Palace Master's interest instantly increased a lot. He opened his eyes and looked at Xue Yi and said, "Let's start from the beginning."

"yes!"

Xue Yi starts with Yan Chengxue.

"You mentioned that the eldest lady's strength may be false. My subordinates knew that the bandits of Yinma Lake were powerful and did not want to waste their lives. I happened to have a friend who was very strong, so I invited her to act together. I thought that if I could not defeat him, I would have multiple helpers. It also increases the chance of escape.”

"Unexpectedly, that group of bandits turned out to be vulnerable. My friend killed all of them before the eldest lady took action."

"We thought the matter was over, so we stayed in the village to rest for the night and investigate the identity of the bandits."

The master of the palace was thoughtful: "What are the backgrounds of those bandits? Aren't they said to be quite strong? How come they were killed so easily?"

Xue Yi: "They are barbarians!"

"Oh?" The palace master frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Xue Yi explained: "They were all barbarian cultivators, but they did not bring wild beast companions, so they could not show their strength and were annihilated by my friends in one fell swoop. But this morning, when we were preparing to go down the mountain, someone from the immortal realm came. Barbarian general!"

"So Qingruo took action?" Palace Master said.

"Yes, my friend and I were no match for the barbarian general. The two of us were still injured and almost killed when we joined forces. At the critical moment, the eldest lady decisively stopped the barbarian general, and then... only three moves! She took that man The barbarian general was killed easily, his heart was taken out and crushed to pieces! The eldest lady’s moves were extremely powerful, and her aura was even more terrifying. Killing a barbarian general at the level of immortality was like slaughtering a pig or dog, and the opponent had no power to fight back!"

Xue Yi gave Xiao Qingruo a hard blow.

In fact, it's not a boast. It was indeed the case at that time. Xiao Qingruo was really very strong at that time.

The palace master opened his eyes and stared into Xue Yi's eyes to judge whether he was lying.

Seeing that he was not squinting and not talking nonsense, he couldn't help but smile.

However, the Palace Master was very scheming and did not comment on anything. He just expressed his happiness about this matter with a faint smile.

Then he asked: "What is the situation with the barbarians? Why did they come to Lingzhou to build a stronghold and harm the people?"

"this……"

Xue Yi lowered his head: "My subordinates don't understand the reason either. The eldest lady searched the body of the general and got a piece of parchment, which seemed to be fruitful, but she didn't show it to my subordinates."

"Well, she has such a personality that she doesn't like to talk too much. She should report to the meeting office tomorrow morning, and we'll know then." The palace master nodded slightly.

Judging from the smile in the corner of his eyes, this storm is over.

"Is there anything else?" the palace master asked him.

Xue Yi shook his head: "No more, that's all."

"Well, you go back and follow Qingruo well. If there is no important matter, you are not allowed to see me in private again." The master of the palace said calmly.

As the master of the palace, he naturally knows how to control people.

Xue Yi is Xiao Qingruo's exclusive follower. If he comes to see him frequently and Xiao Qingruo knows about it, it will easily breed resentment and dissatisfaction with him as his master, thinking that his hand is stretched too far.

Now that the test is over, there is no need to let Xue Yi be a spy anymore. This is good for both parties.

"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"

Xue Yi bowed and left.

Not long after he left, the master of the palace called out: "Tieyi."

"Master of the Palace?" Tie Yi asked without coming in from outside the door.

Xu Conglong ordered: "Go to Yinmahu Village immediately to see how the corpses died. Come back before dawn."

"Yes." Tie Yi was very straightforward, and without asking the reason, he set off immediately and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Conglong in the study room smiled and said to himself: "As long as such a unique genius does not die young, it will be difficult for Shenwu Palace and Tianjian Palace to compare with my Shengwei Palace a hundred years later. Even the imperial court must show courtesy to me. "

But after a while, he frowned slightly and murmured: "If such a person betrays, it will be a real disaster. For the sake of Shengwei Mansion, maybe I should..."

Xu Conglong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the cruel meaning disappeared in a flash.

…

The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, Xue Yi got up early to practice as usual and nursed his injuries again.

After the eldest lady had breakfast, the two of them left Lanyuan together and headed towards the main palace meeting room.

There are not many important people in the meeting room today. After all, big things don't happen every day. The elders of the Immortal Realm will only come to take a look when they have time. If they don't have time, they don't bother to take care of it. The housekeeper is arranging all the affairs in the house.

However, many people still knew about Xiao Qingruo's return last night. The palace master Xu Conglong and the commander-in-chief He Haoshan both came and wanted to know the situation of Yinma Lake.

Xue Yi followed Xiao Qingruo into the hall.

He has no place to speak here, not even to say hello, he can only stand in the back.

"Palace Master." Xiao Qingruo has a noble status and only needs to greet the palace master. The commander-in-chief does not need her to say hello.

"Sit down and let's talk about this trip."

The mansion master was very gentle to this female disciple, with a smile on his face.

Last night, he asked Tieyi to investigate the situation of Yinma Lake. Tieyi came back before dawn and told him all the findings at the scene.

Most of the bandits died from sword and knife wounds, and only one of the strongest people died from the injuries of the body being broken by the true qi and the broken internal organs. The situation was exactly the same as what Xue Yi said.

Therefore, the mansion master had no doubts about Xiao Qingruo's strength.

Xiao Qingruo sat on a chair beside him, picked out the key points, and finished the situation of Yinma Lake in a few words.

Then he stretched out his right hand, created the illusion of the surging true qi with illusion, and took out a piece of parchment.

This parchment was the one that Xue Yi found in the mountain village, marked with two red dots.

After reading it, the mansion master and the commander-in-chief were both thoughtful.

"The barbarians deliberately sneaked into Lingzhou, and it seems that they want to start a war again. However, it is the day when the Wanling Mother Pool was born, and it is not right to suddenly provoke a war." The mansion master said.

The commander-in-chief guessed, "I heard that the new barbarian king is young and energetic. He probably wants to take advantage of our attention to the Mother Pond of All Spirits to strike Lingzhou and show the power of the barbarians."

"It is also possible that he wants to divert our attention so that we can allocate manpower to deal with their invasion and reduce the power to compete for the Mother Pond of All Spirits."

"How does the mansion master think this matter should be handled?"

"Send someone to inform the city lord and let him decide. We are not officials, so we should not interfere in other people's affairs. We can just cooperate when necessary." Xu Conglong's solution was very simple. He didn't care at all and kicked the ball to the city lord of Lingzhou.

Seeing that the two had finished discussing, Xiao Qingruo stood up and said, "Mansion master, I'll take my leave first." She prepared to leave with Xue Yi.

When she reached the door, she paused, as if she just remembered something, and said, "By the way, this thing is used by the barbarian general."

Then she threw it away casually.

Dang!

The 1.5-meter-long heavy broadsword was directly inserted into the ground, like piercing tofu, piercing the ground nearly half a meter deep.

Xiao Qingruo left in a chic manner.

Xu Conglong and He Haoshan were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"Such a big weapon, she can actually put it into the cave in her body?" He Haoshan was extremely surprised.

Xu Conglong was also shocked by Xiao Qingruo's operation: "This knife should be made of red mixed black steel, and it must be at least three thousand pounds. The cave in the body can have such a bearing capacity. Qingruo's dantian is probably several times stronger than you and me!"
