Mu Xueluo calmed herself down and reappeared in the courtyard, ready to move her muscles and bones. She had always been very nimble, so climbing walls was no problem for her. However, it was obvious that his body had not exercised for a long time. His body was still extremely good, but it was not strong at all.

She was about to lean against the wall for support when she saw a servant trotting over.

"Miss Xueluo, Miss Linglan has summoned you to the Star Seizer Pavilion to serve her." The man looked respectful.

"Hmm?" Mu Xueluo was puzzled. Why did they have to serve two people today?

That person seemed to see through her confusion and quickly explained, "Tomorrow is the day of immortal master's offering, Sir Chang will come here to discuss it a day in advance."

"As usual?" Mu Xueluo tried her best to collect the memories of the name of the official's position in her mind. Was he the leader of the Nine Supremes? An official who was in charge of ceremony in the temple?

"Yes, Sir Chang had long since entered the palace gates. She should be at the Star Seizer Pavilion by now, young lady."

Mu Xueluo nodded. There was no need to pack up anything as she walked towards the Star Seizer Pavilion.

She went straight to the fourth floor, which was Jin Xi's living room. Linglan was carrying a tray, ready to be carried in. As soon as she saw Mu Xueluo, she gave her a meaningful glance before tilting her head, as if trying to hint at something.

Mu Xueluo didn't understand the meaning behind her eyes and followed her into the house.

The one in the lead was naturally Jin Xi, she was still wearing the same white clothes, pure and clean. Mu Xueluo glanced at him, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She turned her eyes to the side and looked at the guest.

Dressed in a vermilion official robe with an auspicious cloud embedded with eight treasure inscriptions embroidered on it, her slender waist was outlined in a black belt. This Lord Feng Chang was a woman, with clear eyes, delicate eyebrows, and rosy lips. She was not even thirty years old.

As Mu Xueluo saw her, she suddenly sighed in her heart. To be able to become the leader of the Nine Heavens Palace, this kind of woman, she must have some control over her own destiny. Unlike his current self, his future was still unclear.

Master Feng Chang's eyes fell on Jin Xi's body, as he casually spoke, an unspeakable emotion could be seen on his face. At this moment, when he saw Ling Lan and Mu Chen enter, his eyes immediately turned towards Mu Xueluo, who was standing behind them. He sized them up from top to bottom. Seeing this, Mu Xueluo didn't feel offended at all. Instead, she was somewhat surprised.

This was because she didn't look at him with contempt or contempt. Instead, she looked at him with curiosity.

Curiosity? What was she curious about? After Mu Xueluo helped Ling Lan place the teacup, she walked behind Jin Xi and stood up.

Master Feng Chang retracted his gaze, turned to Jin Xi, and asked, "Has Immortal Master found it?" His tone was extremely respectful.

Mu Xueluo was puzzled and looked up at her again. As the head of the Nine Supremes, she shouldn't have been so respectful to Jin Xi. In the past few days, she had also heard that the immortal master did not serve in the imperial court. At most, he could only be regarded as an idol of the mind. Why is this lord so cautious?

Jin Xi didn't show any expression on her face even after hearing her question. She indifferently nodded her head.

"Tomorrow's sacrifice will be carried out in accordance with the old pattern. I will send someone to deliver the royal family's ancestral tablets later." Master Fu Chang looked at Jin Xi's face and continued speaking, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Jin Xi not answering.

Mu Xueluo saw the smile on the corner of her mouth and the light in her eyes. She suddenly understood Ling Lan's actions when she entered the room. It seems that we exalted immortal masters have admirers as well.

Jin Xi remained silent, and took a sip from her water cup.

Master Chang did not seem offended, but a hint of desolation flashed across his eyes. He smiled, got up, and said, "I'll take my leave now."

"Alright." Jin Xi spoke.

It was just a simple "good" word, but Mu Xue immediately discovered the splendor that burst forth from Master Chang's eyes. It was so beautiful, but Jin Xi didn't even lift her head to look at it. He did not even get up, only Ling Lan accompanied the lord downstairs and out of the house.

After they left, there was only Jin Xi and Mu Xueluo left in the hall.

Mu Xueluo's heart skipped a beat as she opened her mouth and said, "Master Chang's attitude towards Immortal Master is extremely respectful. Immortal Master truly has boundless immortal arts and is revered by many." Her words were full of flattery, but her tone was obviously not like that. It sounded somewhat sarcastic.

Jin Xi raised her head and raised her eyebrows, looking at her.

Mu Xueluo continued, "The immortal master said today that he knows where Xueluo came from." She paused, not letting even the slightest change in Jin Xi's expression go. However, she was disappointed. He was still as carefree as ever. She had to go on, "Xueluo used to have a lot of followers. The way they looked at Snow, Xueluo was very familiar with it. " After saying that, she no longer spoke, and looked at Jin Xi with an indifferent gaze.

This time, Jin Xi's expression changed visibly. The blackness in her eyes gradually deepened, like a deep well, to the extent where one couldn't see the bottom.

Mu Xueluo didn't show any signs of weakness as she stared back.

She had brought a group of people with her, and each of them had their own merits. However, the same thing was true for her, the captain. Mu Xueluo not only had good martial arts, she was also adept at using others. Many times, they had to rely on her to lead them out of this perilous situation.

When those people looked at Mu Xueluo, not only did they trust her with their lives, there was also a respectful and convinced look in their eyes. She was too familiar with it! Just now, Master Feng Chang's gaze was filled with adoration and respect, but that respect couldn't just be due to his status as an immortal master.

So she said the word "follower." Sure enough, Jin Xi's impeccable indifference revealed a trace of a crack, and the expression in his eyes changed.

Jin Xi looked at Mu Xueluo for a long time until he returned to normal before she asked, "Your name was Xueluo from the start?"

Mu Xueluo nearly couldn't get up in one breath, he was … She had wanted to take advantage of her discovery and vent her anger on him to find an opportunity for herself. This way, she would be able to probe if he could send her back. Who would have thought that he would say such a thing …

"Yes." Mu Xueluo felt as if she had swallowed down the blood in her heart.

"You have many followers?" Jin Xi continued to ask.

"Yes." Mu Xueluo felt that he had easily dominated the conversation. She felt dissatisfied in her heart and said, "I want to know if you can send me back?"

Jin Xi raised her eyebrows again, seemingly a little surprised. After a while, he smiled lightly and didn't nod his head. He didn't shake his head as he stood up and walked outside.

"You …" Mu Xueluo frowned, wanting to chase after him.

"You can't tell anyone about this." Jin Xi's words came.

"And then?" Mu Xueluo had forgotten to take a step forwards. She raised her head and asked, "Are you willing to send me back?"

Jin Xi laughed lightly, and her body slightly trembled. Her back was extremely happy, but she didn't say anything, and just left the hall.

Mu Xueluo could only helplessly watch as he left. She stomped her feet in hatred. How could she have met such a person!? Not a single one of his previous methods of dealing with people had been useful! He didn't even give her the chance to play tricks. He didn't even reveal a single drop of water. Was he really an immortal?

Mu Xueluo stood where she was, angry. She secretly blamed herself for being too distracted; she was easily led astray by his nose. In the future, he definitely couldn't do this. He had to show his spirit of guiding mountains and rivers!

She stayed alone in the hall for a while, thinking back to what Jin Xi had said these days. His meaning was obvious. He would not allow his identity to be revealed.

However, she would never easily tell anyone about such a bizarre event. What was he guarding against?

And just now, she had asked if she could send herself back. What did his attitude represent? As long as she did as he said, she would have a chance to get his help.

Thinking of this, some hope appeared in Mu Xueluo's heart. However, none of the people he had met were simple … Comrades still need to work hard.

Mu Xueluo had originally been enjoying the wilderness with her group of good friends, enjoying the pleasures bestowed upon her by her youth. She had always been free and unrestrained. Who would have thought that after arriving here, one would have to be cautious, think and be subservient to others. This was the most infuriating!
