Chapter 172 Entering the Palace
Now he felt more and more that what Chu Qingfeng said was right. The four major demon sects were the source of trouble, and it was best to stay away from them.
Why did the Empress of the West Palace want to accept Xiao Ruoling as her disciple?
The so-called "don't give up early without benefit" is definitely not because he saw Xiao Ruoling's excellent qualifications and his love for talents, so he accepted him as a disciple.
Being the Empress of the West Palace is not so simple.
What are the benefits of accepting Xiao Ruoling as a disciple?
The Empress of the West Palace has no heirs, so she wants to have someone to support her in her old age. She is too lonely in the palace and wants to find emotional sustenance?
But it is really too dangerous to talk about feelings to these ladies in the palace.
Xiao Ruoling said softly: "This is considered as offending the Queen of the West Palace. I don't know what will happen."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if the harem doesn't interfere with politics. At most, it will only cause trouble during the night banquet in the palace."
Xiao Ruoling nodded slightly.
She only dared to refuse because she had something to rely on.
No matter how you say it, An Guogong is the hereditary Duke's palace, and Prince Qing's palace is at least the prince's palace.
Otherwise, no matter what the empress' orders are, you can only obey them. How can you refuse, let alone accept her as a disciple?
If you refuse, you will not know how to appreciate it, and you will have to bear the wrath of thunder.
Maybe the empress didn’t expect that she would refuse, right?
Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's a pity that I can't see the empress."
If he could meet the Empress of the West Palace in person, he could get a glimpse of her heart and find out what her purpose was.
"No." Xiao Ruoling shook her head gently.
If men outside want to see women in the palace, unless they are relatives, they can only do so at palace banquets during festivals.
But at this moment, in front of everyone, you often can't say much.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Ruo Ling, if there is a chance to become the saint of Yaoyue Palace, would you be willing to go?"
"Invite the Saint of the Moon Palace?" Xiao Ruoling was startled, her deep and blurred eyes flashed, and finally she shook her head gently: "I won't go."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "The Saint of Yaoyue Palace is the next generation of palace masters. She has a high and powerful position, which is different from the young ladies and concubines of the Duke's Palace."
"So what?" Xiao Ruoling smiled: "What's the use of having more power? I don't have that big ambition."
"As the Crown Princess, you can only be trapped in a corner. You can only see the sky of the Royal Palace and Jade Capital, but you can't see the vastness of the world... But the Saint of Yueyue Palace is different. You can travel across the world and see the scenery and mountains of the world. Big rivers and oceans.”
Xiao Ruoling said: "For me, it is enough to guard you and see that my father and little brother are safe."
"I know you are not willing to give in." Chu Zhiyuan said.
Xiao Ruoling possesses unparalleled qualifications and possesses such miraculous skills as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Technique. It is inevitable that she will become a grandmaster in the future, and she is also expected to become a great grandmaster.
Are you just willing to be a royal concubine who only knows how to use a spoon?
He felt that she must be unwilling to do so.
Because it would be the same if I changed myself.
I don't go out now, not because I don't want to, but because I don't want a gentleman to stand under a dangerous wall. It's for safety.
When he has cultivated enough, he will naturally not just stay in Yujing. He will want to see how this world is different from the world in his previous life.
Xiao Ruoling smiled and said: "If there is a chance in the future, it will be enough to see the mountains and rivers outside together... There are so many mountains, so many rivers, and such a wide sea in the world. How much is more and how much is less." What?”
Chu Zhiyuan held her jade hand tightly and said with a smile: "If you have a wife like this, you can only ask for a husband!"
Xiao Ruoling was a little embarrassed. She felt that these words were too disgusting. She pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Why do you talk about inviting the saint of the Moon Palace?"
"I heard a news that Yaoyue Palace is now competing for a saint." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I can't help but think of the actions of the West Palace Empress."
"Your Majesty wants me to fight for the Saint?" Xiao Ruoling was startled and said with a smile, "Isn't this too whimsical?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "If the empress said that you have been under her disciples for a long time, and have been teaching you secretly, so that you can keep a low profile, you have already invited the disciples of Yue Palace, but kept it secret. At this time, in order to compete for the saint girl, you can only return the invitation. Moon Palace exposed this master-disciple relationship.”
Xiao Ruoling was thoughtful.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "So, it shows the empress's foresight in inviting the Saint of the Moon Palace. She has been planning for a long time, so it's not surprising, right?"
"...too."
"Since you are an orthodox disciple of Yao Yue Palace, and you are still an unmarried Yunying, why can't you compete for the saint?... What's more, you are still the top inheritance of Yao Yue Palace."
Xiao Ruoling smiled and said: "It sounds like I will become a saint."
"At least it's possible." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Would you like to fight?"
Xiao Ruoling shook her head without hesitation: "Saintess, forget it."
"Holy girl..." Chu Zhiyuan finally couldn't help it and took her into his arms.
The aroma of nephrite suddenly warms and feels wonderful to the touch.
Xiao Ruoling's face was filled with red clouds. She quickly looked around and gave him an angry look. Chu Zhiyuan reluctantly let go of her hand. This was the outside after all, and being too intimate would undermine the majesty of her future concubine.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Actually, you can become a saint first. After the next saint succeeds to the throne, you can come back and be my crown prince."
Xiao Ruoling glanced at him sideways: "Did you see other beauties when you went out this time?"
Chu Zhiyuan was startled.
Xiao Ruoling said: "If you want to marry into the palace, you want me to give up my seat, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed dumbly: "Okay, let's take a look again. I hope the empress will stop here."
"As long as I insist on not going, you can't tie me up." Xiao Ruoling said.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

Baiyunfeng
A hundred miles away from Yujing City, among the rolling mountains, there is a strange peak.
It was like a sword piercing into the white clouds.
The upper part of the mountain pierced into the white clouds and could not be seen clearly.
Chu Zhiyuan and Huang Shirong appeared at the foot of the peak together, looking up.
Zou Fang was like a shadow, silently not far behind them.
Under the light of the super-sensing cave, the trees and grass on this peak are more lush than other peaks, and they seem to be more alive.
"Is this Baiyun Peak?" Chu Zhiyuan looked at it and sighed: "Is Baiyun Sword Palace here?"
Huang Shirong smiled and said: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "This peak has excellent feng shui and is more nourishing than other peaks."
Huang Shirong smiled sweetly: "Baiyun Peak is indeed very good... Your Majesty, follow me up the mountain. The sword monument is at the top of the peak."
"Please." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
He turned to look at Zou Fang: "Just wait here, we can't go up the mountain."
"Yes, Prince, be careful." Zou Fang warned in a low voice.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Huang Shirong fluttered onto the treetops and did not follow the path leading to the peak.
Four young men and women suddenly emerged from the pine forest, dressed in white as snow. When they saw it was Huang Shirong, they released their sword hilts, cupped their fists and saluted: "Senior Sister Huang!"
Huang Shirong nodded lightly: "Four junior brothers, I will take the guests to the peak."
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan looked at these four young men.
The two men and two women, both of whom have reached the innate level of cultivation, couldn't help but laugh and said: "They didn't go to the Zhenwu Division?"
"The cultivation level is still weak, please take it easy for the time being." Huang Shirong said: "Wait to temper your temper before entering the department, so as not to get into trouble."
"Isn't it time to go to the Zhenwu Division to temper your temper?" Chu Zhiyuan said: "As expected of Baiyun Sword Palace, the disciples are all geniuses."
These four young men and women have actually entered the innate realm at such a young age, and they are all geniuses outside.
"The four of them are the best in this generation." Huang Shirong shook his head gently: "How can there be so many geniuses? They are only put here to guard the gate to polish their temperament and practice their worldly skills because they are preparing to go to Zhenwu Division."
Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.
It seems that Baiyun Sword Palace has a systematic and meticulous training of its disciples. They first practice their skills and then refine their temperament before they are admitted to the Zhenwu Division.
The four major sects in the Zhenwu Division compete fiercely with each other.
If you go in hastily and are unprepared, it will be too easy to get into trouble.
Once you step into a trap, the consequences are often lifelong, and the court will not give you more opportunities to make amends.
While the two were talking, they floated up on the tops of pine trees.
He quickly passed by small pavilions, then small courtyards, then pavilions and pavilions, and then palaces.
Finally, we entered above the white clouds and arrived at the flat square at the top of the mountain.
A white jade sword stood majestically, straight into the sky.
Standing under this white jade sword that was 100 meters high, 30 meters wide, and 30 meters thick, he actually felt a sense of humiliation.
