The sun was setting, and it was late afternoon when she came out. By the time she had circled the immortal palace, it was already dusk.

The immortal palace's courtyard that was built around the Star Seizer Tower was scattered everywhere. Not only was there the place where she lived, there were also many other luxurious looking courtyards. It must have been prepared for the visiting nobles as Ling Lan had said.

Outside, other than some gardens, were the residences of the servants.

Mu Xueluo wasn't afraid of being late. Ling Lan was on duty tonight and wouldn't be back for the night. After circling the area, she finally arrived at the Star Seizer Pavilion.

A building with a height of seven floors was most likely the limit of the current construction technology. The Emperor really valued this place. According to Ling Lan, this was the tallest building in the capital. By the way, the country's name is Zhen, and this is the capital - Hua Du.

Mu Xueluo used her walking stick to climb up the platform and first looked at the mysterious East Tower. Ling Lan said that the Immortal Teacher's items were not to be approached by anyone other than the Immortal Master himself and the personal attendant.

When she got closer, she found the attic locked. Mu Xueluo hurriedly touched her own body. He searched around for a few times, but couldn't find the key. Did he not bring it with him? She didn't want to limp back to get the key. She could enter at any time, so she might as well find time to check it out when she was on duty tomorrow.

Just as she was about to give up, a familiar clear voice was heard: "What are you doing here?" His tone was light, neither angry nor annoyed.

The surroundings were originally silent. Mu Xueluo was suddenly frightened by this sound. The cane in her right hand fell to the ground with a 'dong' sound and rolled a few times on the ground.

She looked up at the source of the sound. As expected, an immortal master dressed in white was standing in front of him. Behind him was Ling Lan, who was walking out of the Star Seizer Pavilion.

"Immortal …." "Immortal master …" Mu Xueluo was slightly embarrassed as she did not expect them to come downstairs at this time.

She quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "Why is the immortal master out so late? I thought you had already rested." After saying this, to cover her embarrassment, she bent down to pick up her walking stick.

"If there's nothing else in the future, don't wear this staff." The immortal master looked at her and said.

Without waiting for Mu Xueluo to respond, he turned around and said to Ling Lan, "There's no need to prepare the ceremony, send her back." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the Star Seizer Pavilion.

Ling Lan respectfully replied and quickly walked towards Mu Xueluo. Holding her hand, he walked towards the stairs and asked softly, "Why didn't elder sister rest well in the courtyard and come here?"

Mu Xueluo moved forward as she replied, "My legs are getting faster and faster the more I move. Look at me walking away, but there's so much of it!"

Ling Lan saw that the way she walked was indeed normal, and gently nodded her head.

On the way, Mu Xueluo tentatively asked them why they were downstairs. Ling Lan told her that the immortal master wanted to read divination, so she came to the East Tower to retrieve the ceremonial tools. But now, for some reason, he didn't do it again. After Mu Xueluo heard this, she pondered for a moment. If he had changed his plan because he had seen her, was he related to that divination?

Thinking of this, she was somewhat worried. It was unknown what sort of consequences would result from his identity.

When the two of them returned to the East District, Mu Xueluo urged Ling Lan to return. Linglan insisted on pushing her into the dining room, saying, "Elder sister still hasn't eaten, see, the food hasn't even moved. I'll go out and get someone to reheat you. "

"It's better if you go back quickly. There's someone to serve the immortal master as well." Mu Xueluo didn't want to trouble her.

"It was immortal master's order for me to send you back, so we must follow his instructions." Elder sister, don't worry. " Ling Lan comforted.

After the servants brought the hot food over and Mu Xueluo finished eating, Ling Lan left.

Mu Xueluo cleaned herself and applied the medicine before slowly walking around the room. He didn't lie down until he felt that his right leg was almost healed.

However, she could not let go of the current situation. She closed her eyes and began to think.

At that time, she was leading her team to explore a ruin in the desert. A few days ago, a storm had exposed the city walls that had been buried for thousands of years. When she heard this, she could not wait any longer and immediately summoned her team to discuss the matter. These people immediately agreed and left as soon as they said they would.

They entered the desert and arrived at the ruins.

Everyone in her team had a supervisor, and a few of them had the skill of digging tunnels. With everyone's cooperation, it only took a few days for them to enter the ancient city. Everyone had a good personality for exploring. After discovering this ancient city, they were all elated.

As they all walked towards the center of the city, she suddenly saw something shining gold on the side of the road, and she quickly walked towards it. As soon as she got close, she felt dizzy and then she came here.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sat up. That "immortal master" had just said that he would hold some sort of ceremony. If he really did have some sort of magical technique or sacred art, would he be willing to send himself back if he told him the truth?

No. She shook her head and lay back down on the bed. What if he spoke recklessly and let him kill him as if he was a ghost? He had to think of another way to test it.

After tossing and turning for the entire afternoon, she was truly tired. After thinking for a while, she started to get confused. Until she fell asleep, she was still thinking about how to understand more and how to find a chance to escape.

The next day, Mu Xueluo was shaken awake. Ling Lan had prepared some clear water for her, and told her that the immortal master was still awake. She was to hurry up and eat, and go serve him.

Mu Xueluo packed her things and left the yard.

Today, he was going to wait on someone, so he naturally couldn't hold onto his walking stick. Moreover, the immortal master specifically said last night that he should not use that staff.

Ling Lan had said that there was no exception to the immortal master's words. Since she had just arrived, she naturally followed the customs of the country.

She took a few steps and noticed that there was still a slight throbbing pain in her steps, but it wasn't hard to endure.

Mu Xue descended to the third floor of the Star Seizer Pavilion. On both sides of the stairs were living rooms and clean rooms. She stood respectfully outside the bedroom door, taking on the appearance of a waitress.

But she had not stood a quarter of an hour before she was bored to death. As expected, she still liked her original life better. Cliffs, steel wire, rivers and mountains, pointers to the heroes … Although it was dangerous, it was still a pleasure. Better than standing here and getting up.

However, she reminded herself to observe this immortal master more closely.

At this moment, a voice came from inside the room, "Come in!"

Mu Xue raised her spirit as she landed and pushed open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Mu Xueluo was stunned, the reminder in her heart instantly forgotten.

The immortal master in front of him had already stood up. Her long hair wasn't tied up, and it hung behind her head. Some of it hung mischievously around his neck. He sat on the bed. His eyes didn't look as repulsive as they did yesterday. Instead, they were slightly tired as he looked at Mu Xueluo, who had just opened the door.

Mu Xueluo didn't know why, but her heart was beating rapidly and her face was somewhat warm. She quickly lowered her head to bring in the warm water.

Prepare clothes for him while he washes his face.

After the immortal master finished her bath, she turned around to look at Mu Xueluo.

Mu Xueluo quickly handed over the white robe in her hands. After a long time, he realized that he did not take over. Mu Xueluo was astonished. Ling Lan had said that the immortal master wouldn't really want them to wait on him closely. Doesn't that include wearing close-fitting clothes?

Mu Xueluo hesitated before finally asking, "Shouldn't the immortal master change clothes by himself?"

She seemed to be seeing things, and she saw the usually cold man smile. However, the smile was so short that she couldn't tell if she was seeing things correctly.

He raised his hands, meaning it was clear that she was going to change.

Mu Xueluo had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward.

To avoid embarrassment, she stood behind him and undressed him. When she saw his back, she couldn't help but blush. When her eyes touched his tight waist, she simply closed her eyes.

She quickly put on his new robe and was about to tie the ribbon, but the immortal master stopped her.

Mu Xueluo looked up, her face filled with suspicion.

"There's no need to be too formal if you don't want to go out today." There seemed to be less coldness in his words.

Mu Xueluo nodded and quietly stood to the side.

When he finished his breakfast, Mu Xueluo followed him up to the fourth floor, where the immortal masters usually worked.

Mu Xueluo was curious as to what this immortal master usually did. Was he really proficient in metaphysics or was he just a swindler? Of course, she hoped that it would be the former. That way, at least she would have a chance to go back.

The two of them went up to the fourth floor. There was a hall to the right that was meant for entertaining guests. They turned into the big house on the left.

A wall of bookshelves filled with bamboo slips. Mu Xueluo was so captivated by this scene that she almost couldn't hear the immortal master's words. "Slicing Ink."

She was drowsy for a while before answering yes.

She walked to the table and poured the water into the ink stone. The water was slightly yellowish, like honey water or some other special water. Mu Xueluo was rubbing the ink, her eyes constantly sizing up the entire floor.

Other than the bamboo block on the wall, there were many strange things in the room. There were Si Nan, Cang Wu, and many other jade artifacts that she knew of. In addition, there were a lot of things that she didn't recognize at all.

One had to know that the antiques she had seen before were quite impressive. However, she had never heard of many of the unique looking artifacts in this room before. It seemed that this person was indeed a professional. He had to find a chance to get the information he wanted out.

"Are you used to this place?" the man sitting at the table suddenly asked.

Mu Xueluo was originally immersed in her own thoughts, so when she heard his words, she quickly recovered. However, she found that his question was completely random. After chewing for a while, she felt a great shock in her heart. These words had an ominous meaning. He was asking if she was used to being on duty on the first day? Or did this so-called "immortal master" really know something?

Thinking back to the last few times when he had looked at her with a meaningful look, Mu Xueluo felt uneasy in her heart.

Speak? Or not? To put everything on the line, or to wait for the right moment.
