Just as Mu Xueluo opened her eyes, she saw a man's face. He was handsome and extremely good-looking. His eyes, however, were extremely calm and composed, giving him a tired sense of loneliness.

"You're awake?" His voice was like wine.

Mu Xueluo's eyes were wide open; she still hadn't accepted everything that was happening in front of her.

She was lying on the bed, surrounded by wooden fences. She turned her head to look at the man behind him. There was a lady dressed in palace clothes. A watery pink muslin wrapped around her body, making her appear pretty and charming. The woman looked anxious. Her eyebrows were still tightly knitted as she noticed Mu Xueluo had woken up. She glanced nervously at the man in white in front of her.

The man's clothes were simple, his clothes were plain and white. However, the white robe gave off an ethereal feeling. The brocade belt at his waist was a light blue color, and the material it was made of was extravagant. It was as if it was this turbid world ribbon that bound this fairy-like person to the mortal world.

At this moment, the man glanced at Mu Xueluo indifferently, his eyes revealing a strange color. Seeing that she had woken up, he turned around and walked out. He only said, "She's fine."

As he left the room, Mu Xueluo let out a long breath. Somehow, when that man was in the room, she was always afraid that she would accidentally stain him with worldly energy, afraid that he wouldn't be able to return to the Heavenly Immortal Palace because of that.

She had held her breath for a long time, so her mind wasn't clear. In addition, everything in front of her was abnormal. It was only now that Mu Xueluo had the chance to frown and think. Where did she come from? Wasn't she exploring an ancient ruin?

"Sister Xueluo." At this moment, the young woman dressed in palace dress spoke up. Her voice was filled with apology, "I did not do it on purpose." As he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Xueluo's legs, which were covered by the blanket, and his face filled with worry.

Mu Xueluo was surprised. This woman knew her? You even know her name? Why he had no impression of her at all.

She blinked and said nothing. This made the woman even more anxious. She immediately said, "Don't blame me. I really didn't know that you were cleaning from the east side of the pavilion. That's why I bumped into you." When you fell, I tried to catch you, but I couldn't. "

She remembered what had happened, and her heart began to beat. Before the immortal master entered the palace, she ordered the sacrificial cauldron to be prepared. Because she had a cold stomach, she delayed for a long time before thinking of going to fetch it. Her footsteps inevitably became a bit hurried. Who would have thought that just as she turned the corner, she would bump into someone? Who would have thought that Xueluo was standing at the edge of the stage?

It was only when Snow fell off the platform that she realized she had caused trouble. Xue Luo was chosen by the immortal master herself. Today was her first day in the immortal palace, and something like this happened. How could she not be terrified? Immortal master just returned after the incident. The immortal master, who usually ignored everything, actually personally came to take a look. This made her even more uneasy.

When Mu Xueluo woke up, she felt a dull pain in her right leg. Listening to this woman's words, she realized that she had fallen from a high height. She sat up and lifted the covers to look at her wound. Her black hair fell to her chest as she moved.

Long hair?

Mu Xueluo was shocked. He had spent all his time in the wilderness, so he had long since cut short his hair.

She quickly reached out her hand to touch it. When she confirmed that it really was her hair, she frowned. He tried to sound out the situation, "Sister, I might have hit my head, but I'm feeling dizzy and can't remember a lot of things." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the pink-clothed woman.

Hearing this, the girl's face became anxious, and her sweat began to seep out.

Seeing Mu Xueluo act like this, how could she continue to question her? He quickly reached out and pulled her hand, patting her hand. With a gentle tone, he said, "Don't worry, it's not like it's a big deal. Tell me more, and I may remember it all. "Even if I can't remember, it doesn't matter. I can still start over."

The pink-clothed girl was originally very worried. Now that she was gripped by these hands, the anxious and worried feeling in her heart seemed to have disappeared. For some reason, she felt that she was right, she had acted too impulsively. He hurriedly smiled as he apologized, "It's all because of sister being too impatient. I'll tell you about it now. I think sister will remember it after hearing it." With that, he began to narrate.

Mu Xue landed on the horse and pricked up her ears, not sparing a single word. Occasionally, she would ask a few questions that she was more concerned about.

It turned out that the pink-clothed woman's name was Ling Lan, and she had been serving the immortal master for quite some time. Yet, he had just become a waitress today. The other funny thing was, this place was really called "Immortal Palace"! However, it was not a real immortal palace. It was a structure similar to the Venerate Heavens Sect built by the imperial family. It was only a bit more elegant. The man in white was the immortal master, and he had just returned to the palace this morning to report back to the emperor.

No wonder there was that ribbon! If he didn't enter the palace, that man wouldn't be wearing these common clothes, right? The material of his clothes was obviously not cloth, it must be a special material.

Knowing that she was now in an imperial kingdom and had left the familiar era, Mu Xueluo thought in her heart: I have to find the clues as soon as possible and see if I can still return. After all, her family and friends were all there.

Knowing that it was her first day here, Mu Xueluo felt reassured. That way there won't be too much exposed. Moreover, it was said that her superior didn't talk much and didn't like people following him. All they had to do was wait on him one day at a time and complete his orders.

The easiest way to do that was to listen to orders.

Mu Xueluo led her team to explore the wild all year round. It wasn't a big deal for her to stay out in the open, but she had also explored the ancient ruins and underground palace. She was just a heroic and unyielding woman. Now, he only wanted her to do some chores, so of course, it wouldn't be difficult for her.

However, it would be better to find a chance to escape as soon as possible. She did not want to be trapped by a "Divine Rod" forever. Even though that "God Stick" was pretty good-looking... she thought playfully.

"Who's on duty today?" Since she knew that the name of her body was Xue Luo, she felt more at ease. It seemed that the heavens had helped her, and she didn't even need to change the conditioned reflex she had developed over the years. She was truly a lucky person.

"It's me today, but I had a stomachache. The immortal master didn't allow me to go with him to the palace." Ling Lan replied.

"Then go and serve me quickly. I'm fine, look." Mu Xueluo wanted to observe the environment here by herself so she could send Ling Lan away first. In order to convince her, he even shook his foot, even though he was gnashing his teeth in pain.

"Are you really alright?" Ling Lan was clearly suspicious, after all, the stage was very high, "Moreover, didn't elder sister say that there are a lot of things that I can't remember?"

"I'm fine." Mu Xueluo held her hand and shook it, "You've just told me everything that happened here. I've already thought of many things, so I just need to slowly recover. Little Sister, you don't have to worry about me."

Ling Lan felt at ease when she heard this and nodded before leaving.

Finally, she was left alone. Mu Xueluo supported herself on the edge of the bed and struggled to get up. His right leg was still hurting, but it wasn't fractured, so he could endure it.

Just as Mu Xueluo was lying down, she noticed a stick that was about a meter long lying on the side of the bed. She grabbed it and gestured. Although the engravings were a bit crinkly, it was a good thing that they were of a suitable length, so it could be used as a temporary walking stick.

As she walked out of the room, she discovered that this "immortal palace" wasn't like the people she imagined to be floating around like immortals or fairies. It was very ancient.

The courtyard she lived in was right next to the center of the immortal palace — the tallest pavilion was the Immortal Master's Star Seizer Pavilion. As the personal attendants of Ling Lan, she and Ling Lan naturally had to live side by side. Their residence was the East District.

The foundation of the Star Seizer Pavilion was obviously relatively high. The reason why the pavilion was built on such a high platform was most likely to emphasize its nobility. He reckoned that he fell from that platform, but he didn't know why he went there to clean despite not being on duty!

There was almost no one in the courtyard. Occasionally, there would be a few servants walking in or out. Mu Xueluo looked at the muslin clothing on her body and then looked at the muslin clothing of those people. It seems that the two of them are maids with no need to do any hard work. These people are real laborers. Presumably, they were the ones in control of the entire Immortal palace.

Thinking of this, the white-clothed man appeared in front of Mu Xueluo again. No matter how refined an immortal master was, he was still a mortal after all.

Mu Xueluo, leaning on her walking stick, staggered out of the yard and began to stroll around the "Immortal Palace".

I'm also learning a little bit during the process of writing this story. I can feel that the plot concept and handling are a lot better than the previous ones. I hope that everyone doesn't give up just because the previous plot is too small.
