"It's quiet here, Xueluo likes it very much." She stole a glance at the man at the table and chose to wait and see.

His head was lowered so that no one could see his expression.

So what if he saw it? He didn't have any expression on his face. she suggested.

Immortal Master flicked his sleeve with one hand and dipped the strand of purple hair into the ink with the other. After the brush was filled with ink, he lifted his wrist and placed the brush down.

As the black ink moved, a pattern appeared on the paper. Mu Xueluo didn't understand, but she felt that this was a profound mystery. Occasionally, there were words similar to the Sanskrit language interspersed within the diagram, causing her to frown.

"It's good that you've gotten used to it." The man didn't raise his head. "The longer it takes, the more used it is." His brush continued to draw.

Mu Xueluo held the grindstone in her hand and began to circle in a vertical circle in the inkstone pool. He couldn't help but wonder, just what did this immortal master know? Why did he always sound like he meant so much?

Immortal Teacher had finished painting. He wrote the character "Xi" in the lower right corner and put down the purple brush. So he also had a name, which was for Xi.

Mu Xueluo did not hesitate as she quickly cleaned up the ink pond.

At this time, she heard him sigh softly, as if he had put down some burden. He sounded tired but his tone was light, "I didn't expect that I would be able to see the two oddities of the first quantity tribulation. Fortunately or unluckily, no one knows. " The last sentence seemed to be a question.

Mu Xueluo's subordinates didn't stop there. She thought to herself: I don't know if I'm considered an anomaly or not.

"Come with me to the palace tomorrow." The immortal master turned to look at her, his eyes clear and bright.

Mu Xueluo was once again bewitched by those eyes as she nodded. Then, she realized that she wasn't on duty tomorrow and was about to ask.

However, he only saw the immortal master wave his hand, signaling him not to speak. She had to shut up.

"Give me your hand." "No," he said.

Mu Xueluo was still holding the ink stone in her hand. Although she was surprised, she didn't hesitate. She put down what she was holding and reached out with both hands.

Immortal Teacher raised his arms and took her two small hands in his hands.

Even if she was beaten to death, she would never have thought that he would be like this! Mu Xueluo's eyes turned round as she stared at the two men's interlocked hands.

It was warm to the touch, but no one would have thought that such a cool and pure person would have a warm palm. she thought.

Then he let go of her, and thought for a moment, but said nothing.

Mu Xueluo didn't know what was going on as she retracted her hand and continued to tidy up the ink and paper on the table. She thought to herself that she had yet to find a suitable opportunity to find out more information, but this immortal master was the first to become baffled.

At this point, the ink on the paper had almost dried. The immortal master said, "Fold it up and tie it to the Cyan Bird in the backyard."

Mu Xueluo tidied up the miscellaneous items on the table and nodded her head. Then, she took the paper and walked out.

"Let's go back and rest. We'll enter the palace tomorrow morning." Immortal Master's cool voice sounded again. Mu Xueluo couldn't even take a step as she was gently stirred up by this sound. She finally stopped. Just in time to turn around and reply.

As he went down to the backyard, he saw a few green birds chirping on the trees. Mu Xueluo thought, could it be that wild birds could also send messages?

She shook the paper, which still smelled of ink, to let it dry faster.

At that moment, a bird flew down from the tree and landed on her shoulder. She was shocked and overjoyed. What a magical fairy!

The bird shook its little head and pecked her lightly on the shoulder. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid of scaring it away, so she could only fold the drawing paper with a stiff shoulder.

The ink was completely dry, and the fragrance of the ink wasn't any weaker. As he flipped the paper over, it became even more fragrant. The Cyan Bird seemed to like this smell. It jumped onto Mu Xueluo's hand and rubbed its head against the paper in her hand.

So it was Mo! Mu Xueluo thought of the special water she used to grind the ink and understood in her heart.

She stuffed the paper into the tube, tied it to the bird's right leg, and lifted her hand to send it flying. The bird chirped, flapped its wings and flew away.

On the way back, she passed by the east attic. She had brought her key with her today, and in her haste in the morning she did not forget to ask where the key to Linglan was.

At this moment, she was already allowed to rest. She no longer needed to attend to him, so this was a great opportunity. She fished out the key and with a "kacha" sound, she unlocked the padlock and walked into the east building that she was so curious about.

As expected, they were all strange equipment the moment they entered the door. Some of them were obviously used for sacrificial ceremonies. The ancient patterns and carvings were a testament to their age.

Mu Xueluo had always been interested in antiques, but this time, she was even more elated as she looked through every item. When she reached the west wall of the attic, she found a wooden box, about two meters long, set into the wall. The box was filled with bright yellow brocade. Judging from the empty shape at the center of the brocade, there should have been a 1.5 meter long staff inside the box.

This immortal palace was built by the imperial family, so it wasn't surprising that there was bright yellow brocade. Presumably, it was created by the imperial family. Otherwise, it wouldn't be placed in such a conspicuous place. But what about this box? Mu Xueluo swept her eyes over the entire pavilion.

Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind. This shape, could it be the stick that he used as a walking stick yesterday!?

She did not bother to lock the door, nor did she care about her aching right leg as she ran back to the East District.

When she walked past Ling Lan's room and found her sleeping soundly, she immediately took light steps.

Returning to the house, she immediately went to look for yesterday's walking stick. Fortunately, it wasn't lost and it was lying beside the bed.

She grabbed the staff and flew back to the east attic.

She carefully compared the stick in her hand to the stick. After the brocade tightly bit down on the stick, she despairingly discovered that there was no mistake. She had used the gift as a walking stick for the night …

She frowned, worried that she might be found guilty of a crime against the king. However, she recalled that the immortal master clearly recognized the staff in her hand, but didn't reprimand her.

"Just as she was lost in thought, the staff in her right hand suddenly fell to the ground." Ding! Her thoughts were pulled back into reality. She was shocked and quickly squatted down to pick it up. This was the second time she had thrown the stick to the ground, so she didn't want to break it.

This staff was dark blue in color, and there were some carvings on it. Mu Xueluo picked it up and carefully examined it. Sure enough, as she was flipping, she discovered that a dark blue outer coat had been rubbed off, revealing a brilliant gold inside.

Seeing this, Mu Xueluo was momentarily stunned. The day her memories returned to the ancient city, the golden object she saw was actually a staff!

Her heart thumped in her chest. The key she had transmigrated to this place was definitely this! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Immortal Teacher had mentioned this item that night, so he must know the secret behind it!

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. This matter still had to be planned slowly. Finding someone to help him was nothing more than forcing him to act with reason and power, and luring him into becoming rich. There was no need to talk about his power and influence, what power did he have left? This immortal master's status was extraordinary, he probably wouldn't care about money … Wait and talk to him. If he couldn't, he could only try to seduce her. After all, her appearance was one in a million.

She locked the door and walked back to the courtyard. This staff had been placed perfectly in the east attic. Why would it appear on her bed? Mu Xueluo had just calmed down when she began to wonder about this matter.

"Sister Xueluo, why did you come back?" The voice of Linglan. She had just woken up and was coming out of her room.

"The immortal master told me to come back and rest, to follow him into the palace tomorrow." Mu Xueluo looked up and replied.

"Tomorrow?" Ling Lan's expression flashed with astonishment, but she didn't ask any further.

"Yes, Linglan." Mu Xueluo keenly felt her emotions. She blinked and continued to ask, "Have you seen the cane in my room? The one I took to the Star Seizer Pavilion last night? "

"You're talking about the Soul Suppressing Staff?" Ling Lan asked.

"Yes, yes." Mu Xueluo nodded as she asked, "Those are immortal master's things, right?"

"Yes." "The day before my sister moved in, the immortal master told me to put it in my room." Ling Lan answered.

"Immortal master?" Mu Xueluo raised her eyebrows. It really was him. He started to think about how to get the information from his mouth.

"Elder sister? "Elder sister?" Ling Lan called out when she saw her drowsy.

"Hmm?" Mu Xueluo recovered from her thoughts.

"Could it be that you fell down yesterday …" Or … I don't have a clear head. " She looked ashamed, "I didn't expect that the first time we met yesterday, I would already... "Take big sister …"

"Alright, alright. It's alright. It's all in the past now." Seeing her like this, Mu Xueluo hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

In the end, Ling Lan no longer blamed herself and went out.

Mu Xueluo didn't know why, but there seemed to be something in her guilty expression that made her feel strange. Mu Xueluo frowned and shook her head. This immortal palace wasn't as simple as she had imagined.

However, the most important thing at the moment was the reason why the immortal master had placed the Soul Suppressing Staff on his bed. Does he know how to control souls? What should he do?

While she was in deep thought, the night quickly passed. The next day, she followed the immortal master into the carriage with slightly blue eyes.

The whole journey was bumpy.

When he arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace, he was met with the ministers of the imperial court. After Mu Xue got off the car, she opened her eyes wide in surprise. Why? It turned out that among this group of officials, there were both men and women, especially women.

"This …" She couldn't help but point at those people as she turned to look at the immortal master. In terms of people she was most familiar with here, other than Ling Lan, who lived with her, there was only this immortal master. Her first thought was to ask him.

The immortal master didn't pay any attention to her. After getting off the car, he walked towards another gate, obviously not going in with these officials.

Mu Xue followed right behind him, slowly digesting the shock in his heart. Weren't men and women inferior in ancient times? Why are there so many women serving as officials? Had she come to the kingdom of women? Speaking of which, the name of this Flower Capital was rather similar to the female capital.

Wait, how could there be a man in a woman's country? Putting aside the fact that there were a lot of men among the officials, this immortal master in front of him was a real man! Of course, this was the uncontestable truth that Mu Xueluo knew after she helped him change his clothes.

She shook her head, shaking off her chaotic thoughts. It seemed that she would have to ask more about it in the future, and not take it for granted!

Linglan could, of course, ignore the most normal things, but for himself they were all blank and ignorant. Mu Xueluo helplessly sighed and looked up.

The man walking in front was wearing a ribbon again today, but he still didn't give off the scent of fireworks.

Mu Xueluo, dressed in palace attire, quickly followed behind him.

After the two entered the palace gates, an attendant led the way. Along the way, it was dazzling in gold and jade, and it was luxurious and grand. It seems that Zhenguo is a very rich country. They walked through several palaces and courtyards until they came to a palace where they wrote: "Pleasure."

Seems like it's not an official summons. Mu Xueluo thought to herself. Most emperors would officially call for their ministers to attend the "Hall of Diligence" and "Palace of the True Sun"... Something like that. They were probably waiting here for the Emperor.

The immortal master stood still as his eyes drifted into the distance.

Mu Xueluo naturally didn't move as well. Her eyes were looking left and right. There was no other way. She had long since gotten used to exploring her surroundings. This was an essential quality for an adventurer.

The two of them stood there for a long time. Mu Xueluo had already repeated the route she had memorized in her mind for the 53rd time. Finally, a small palace maid ran over in a fluster. Seeing the immortal master, he first bowed in greeting, then hurriedly said, "Immortal master, His Majesty is furious today. He's heading over right now, I hope Immortal master can comfort me."

The immortal master didn't say anything after hearing this. His eyes, however, drifted towards Mu Xueluo in a probing manner. Mu Xueluo frowned as she looked at him, not knowing what he meant. With light footsteps, he moved closer to her, lowering his head and whispering into her ear, "Whatever I want you to do later, you will do it."
