C390 The Identity of Tingxue

Inside the Jade Lake West Garden, the night was dark. As per usual, this hour was the time when a large family of Jade Lake West Garden were seated around the square table under the Pear Blossom Tree, eating wine and admiring the moon.

But at this time, in the huge courtyard of Jingann Courtyard, there was only Ting Xue.

Ever since Ye Tian brought Mei Rou and the others to Tianyang Pass, the Jade Lake West Garden immediately became cold and cheerless. Denean would often only return to the Jade Lake West Garden late at night because she was entangled with various matters in the Imperial Household Department and the royal family.

And Yeh Rong's Dark Holy Temple were similarly many trifling matters, so she sometimes wouldn't come back. Ouyang Ruochen and Nangong Feiyan also had their own family's business. They originally had their own residences. Since Ye Tian wasn't here, the two of them rarely came back.

Only Sophie and An Qi who were sitting in the next courtyard stayed at the Jade Lake West Garden. But most of the time, he would enter the Purgatory Tower to cultivate. Other than eating and sleeping, he didn't have the time to chat with Ting Xue.

Sighing lightly, Ting Xue looked at the full moon in the sky.

Aside from Sophie and An Qi, no one else had returned to the Jade Lake West Garden.

At this moment, a faint mana fluctuation came from behind Ting Xue.

Ting Xue raised her head, startled, and turned around to look at the figure in front of her. She dropped to her knees and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

A bald monk about fifty years old was currently standing in the courtyard of Jingann Courtyard. That monk had sharp eyebrows and a pair of eyes that radiated light in all directions. It was none other than Mo Luozi.

Mo Luozi grunted, looked at Ting Xue and said: "Imperial Consort Xi kicked you out of the palace. Didn't you think of how you could get back into the palace? "Could it be that you think that with Ye Tian's protection, I won't be able to find you?"

Ting Xue hurriedly said, "Master has misunderstood me. I was just chased out of the palace by Imperial Consort Xi, if I quickly snuck back into the palace, with Imperial Consort Xi's cultivation, it would be very easy for her to find out my identity. And Manager Ye is the manager of Imperial Household Department. If I can find a position within the Imperial Household Department in the future, I can easily obtain the means to enter and leave the palace frequently. In this way it is easier to act than to be chained to the palace. "

Hearing Ting Xue's words, Mo Luozi snorted again and said, "The reason why I kept your pure white jade-like body is because I want you to seduce that dog-emperor. At the very least, I want you to become a imperial concubine. How could I have expected you to be so disappointing? It's been more than a year, yet that Emperor has no desire at all for you. "

Ting Xue spoke again, "Master, it's not that I didn't try to seduce you. It's just that the Emperor originally had little desire and was always worried about the government and the country. He probably didn't have much interest in this aspect."

Mo Luozi gritted his teeth and said: "That dog-emperor, I must kill him. And those two princesses, I must think of a way to capture their Inca Empire and lock them in my joyous bed, so that they can ravage them day in and day out. "

At this point, Mo Luozi paused for a bit and continued, "Ting Xue, I raised you to this age. In the Inca Empire Vajra Monastery, you are the only Fo Shu. Don't forget, a large piece of fertile land south of West Horse Mountain was forcefully swallowed up by Tiangong Empire. Two whole elite legions of Inca were cruelly exterminated. Not long ago, the Southern Heaven Temple, which I had concealed in the Shangjing City for sixty years, was destroyed by them. Your four senior brothers have all been burnt to ashes. "

Mo Luozi looked at Ting Xue, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a vicious expression, "Tell me, should we take revenge?"

Ting Xue trembled slightly as she spoke, "Master, revenge is only a matter of course. But I know the time has come to avenge a grievance. There has to be a leader in this matter."

Mo Luozi smiled sinisterly, and said: "There will naturally be a leader. After Inca Empire is extinguished, once I kill Chu Hong and forcibly take over Chu Yue and Chu Yu, this matter will naturally reach the head."

After saying that, Mo Luozi glanced at Ting Xue again and continued: "How's your strength now? Can you make a name for yourself within the Jade Lake West Garden? "

Ting Xue answered once again, "I am currently only an Intermediate Earth. Compared to the strength of the rest of my Jade Lake West Garden, I am still a little lacking. But don't worry Master, I will definitely cultivate diligently and get a position in the Imperial Household Department as soon as possible, so as to get closer to the Emperor. "

Morrow sighed and said, "When I was at the palace, I ordered you to assassinate the dog-emperor several times, but Zhao Zhentian just couldn't do anything about it. Now that we are outside the palace, it is hard to say when we will be able to get our hands on it. "

At this point, Mo Luozi gritted his teeth again and continued: "That dog-emperor, he was actually so vigilant. Eating, sleeping, and patrolling were all detected beforehand. And now, there's even another Eldest Imperial Princess Chu Yue, and she's actually at the level of Advanced Magic Mentor.

Then, Mo Luozi looked at Ting Xue and continued, "It seems that we have to consider this matter carefully. You can stay here for now and find a way to get a position. When the time is ripe, I will arrange a new mission for you."

Ting Xue lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I will listen to Master's arrangements."

Mo Luozi paced back and forth in Jingann Courtyard's courtyard, and then stuck his head out to look at the backyard. He asked: "It's rumored that there's some kind of mysterious device in this Jade Lake West Garden that can help people quickly level up. Do you know what that thing is?"

Ting Xue's pretty face unconsciously twitched, and then, she calmly replied: "Disciple has been in the Jade Lake West Garden for more than a month, and has yet to see any magical equipment. The people of Manager Ye's house are originally of quite high level and strength. Their Imperial Household Department s are rich and powerful, and they normally have a lot of Ritchie's precious medicine. Although it is beneficial for cultivation, it is not as exaggerated as the rumors. "

Hearing Ting Xue's words, Mo Luozi acknowledged. Honestly speaking, he did not believe that there was actually such a rare treasure in the Jade Lake West Garden that could help a person successfully advance overnight.

At this moment, a sound came from the backyard. Mo Luozi's expression changed and a faint mana fluctuation burst out from his body. His whole body suddenly disappeared without a trace.

A few breaths later, Sophie and An Qi showed up from the Sophora Japonica in the backyard while bickering, then quickly walked toward the Jingann Courtyard.

At this moment, Ting Xue stood up quickly and looked at the place where Mo Luozi was standing. There was no one there now, so she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.2

In all honesty, the two greatest secrets of Jade Lake West Garden, Bridge of Soul and Purgatory Tower, Mei Rou and the others had already unreservedly told Ting Xue.

Furthermore, in the days since she had arrived at the Jade Lake West Garden, Ting Xue didn't feel the slightest bit of unease or nervousness she had inside the palace. Instead, she felt completely relaxed, as if she had truly returned to her own home.

Back when Ting Xue served as the emperor's personal maid in the palace, she was actually very moved by Chu Hong's concern for the people and the king of the country.

Chu Hong was obviously a good Emperor, but Ting Xue's mission was to kill him. Wise as snow, kind as ice, Ting Xue couldn't do anything. She just kept looking for excuses to deal with Mo Luozi.

Now that they had reached the Jade Lake West Garden, from Mei Rou and Bi Ling, Ting Xue felt an equal treatment, and a sense of belonging as close as a sister. Even if they had to shoulder the burden of being the chefs of Jade Lake West Garden, Ting Xue didn't feel like any of them were working as servants.

Therefore, Ting Xue's heart was already determined. She wanted to protect the secrets of Jade Lake West Garden, and she wanted to protect Ye Tian.

Just then, Anqi and Sophie walked from the backyard into the front yard. Seeing Ting Xue standing under the Pear Blossom Tree, their expressions were a little ugly. Anqi walked up to Ting Xue with concern, reached out her hand, touched Ting Xue's forehead, and said, "Are you alright? Is there a chill? "

Sophie also pulled Ting Xue's wrist, stretching out her finger and gently touching it.

Ting Xue was suddenly moved, and shook her head. She said with a smile: "It's fine, I just feel that after Master and Big Sister Mei Rou left for the Liaodong, this courtyard would be completely empty, causing me to feel depressed."

Hearing Ting Xue's words, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with Ting Xue's body. Anqi also said, "That's right, master didn't bring us along when he left. Such a large courtyard is indeed boring."

Sophie also said, "Big Sister Denean has been busy with the Imperial Household Department all day, and has almost no time to accompany us."

Anqi said somewhat unhappily, "In my opinion, since big sister Denean is already a level eight Symbol Master and can protect herself in the capital city, why don't we go to Liaodong together?"

Ting Xue looked at Anqi accusingly and said, "Silly child, the lord told you before he left that you two must protect sister Denean's safety. Right now, she was no ordinary person. She was the vice director of the Empire's Imperial Household Department, and also the chief of the Empire's royal family's Bureau of Mint. It could be said that she alone was in charge of the empire's financial safety. Even though she was already a rank 8 Symbol Master, the military, government, and spies from other countries were keeping an eye on her all the time. The two of you must be serious, and do not disappoint Your Excellency Head's instructions. "

Hearing Ting Xue's words, Angel clearly nodded her head, saying, "Sister Ting Xue, I was reckless. Sophie and I will definitely protect Sister Denean."

Ting Xue smiled and the three of them chatted for a while longer. When it was almost noon, Sophie used a small hand to cover her mouth and said, "It's already morning. Let's go take a rest."

"You guys can go back and rest first. I'll tidy up the courtyard a bit before going back to sleep." Ting Xue said.

Angel, Sophie, and Ting Xue bid their farewells to each other, and then left the Jingann Courtyard realm one after the other, heading towards the Fallen Flower Courtyard located next door.

Looking at the two figures of Little Princess's back, Ting Xue stood dazedly in the yard. For a moment, tears were streaming down her face.

An hour later, Ting Xue gathered her thoughts and tried her best to calm down. He cleaned up the fallen leaves in the yard and prepared to return to his room to rest.

At this moment, another faint mana fluctuation was transmitted from a corner of the courtyard's wall.

Compared to the mana fluctuations that Mo Luozi purposefully hid before, this one was clearly stronger. A shadow emerged from the corner of the wall and pushed forward with one hand. A wave of fine dust formed an arc, and it cut towards Ting Xue in the shape of a half fan.

Ting Xue frowned slightly as her face turned cold. A slender jade-like hand was also waved away. Another vertical half-fan shaped horizontal wave cut forward from above.

There was only a small sound, one horizontally and one vertically, as the two arcs formed by fine dust mutually cut each other in a vertical posture.

However, the horizontal wave quickly dissipated at an extremely fast speed. The undulations that were vertical in the air pushed forward several meters before slowly fading away.
