It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.
Xu Yuxiu was about to lie down on bed. As she was sleeping, her heart suddenly moved slightly, and she had a bad feeling.
She immediately released her consciousness and swept across the entire Chuxiu Palace, but she didn't find anything too unusual.
"what happened!"
Xu Yuxiu sat on the bed, her face looking a little solemn.
Hua Lingzhu noticed something strange about her and asked via voice transmission: "Junior Sister Xu, what's wrong?"
She thought Xu Yuxiu noticed something unusual, so she asked.
When Xu Yuxiu heard this, he shook his head slightly and did not respond.
Her thoughts were uncertain at this moment, and she didn't know what to say.
Seeing Xu Yuxiu just shook his head and said nothing, Hualing Zhumian hesitated, but still didn't ask any more questions.
"Then get some rest early. After all, we are pretending to be mortals now, and we can't let the people watching notice anything unusual."
Hua Lingzhu finally sent a message to remind him.
Xu Yuxiu nodded.
But at this moment, her brows moved slightly and she couldn't help but look out the window.
Hua Lingzhu also noticed a slight movement outside at this time and looked over.
Several black shadows passed by silently with very slight movements.
Seeing this, Xu Yuxiu and Hua Lingzhu both understood.
This should be the monks who pretended to sneak into the beautiful ladies and started to take action.
The two looked at each other, understood each other tacitly, and didn't pay too much attention to it. After extinguishing the candlelight, they fell asleep.
Xu Yuxiu was lying on the bed, still feeling a little uneasy and unable to fall asleep.
This made her feel annoyed.
At this moment, there was another noise outside, attracting her attention.
When his spiritual consciousness is released, he sees the outside world.
It was just as she expected.
Those monks who were making moves tonight were already being followed by people who were secretly monitoring them as soon as they stepped out of Chuxiu Palace.
However, those monks don’t know it yet.
This surprised Xu Yuxiu.
The five senses of the monks are sharp, and they also have spiritual awareness to see their surroundings. Any abnormal movement can be easily detected.
But the monks who acted tonight seemed completely unaware of the people following them.
At this time, Xu Yuxiu focused his spiritual consciousness on one of the followers, trying to find out the reason.
Suddenly, the person following him stopped and looked back in the direction of Chu Xiu Palace, with hesitation on his face.
"Hey, why do I feel like I'm being stared at by someone? Is it an illusion?"
At this time, his hand unconsciously touched his chest.
Xu Yuxiu noticed his movements, and her consciousness immediately reached towards his chest.
However, just when her consciousness touched the man's chest, she suddenly encountered an inexplicable resistance and was bounced back.
Immediately, the man's chest suddenly flashed with light.
"who!"
A deep shout broke the tranquility of the night.
It was the shout made by the person who was being investigated by Xu Yuxiu.
When the light on his chest flickered, he immediately became alert and searched around, but found nothing.
"Maybe he was noticed!"
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately thought of a reason and stared at the person he was following.
"Who am I? It turns out that he is a scum among the monks, and his lackeys are following me!"
A beautiful figure flashed and appeared in the sight of the following person.
This is a female cultivator whose cultivation has reached the eleventh level of Qi refining.
When she walked into the sight of the person following her, her aura had completely locked onto the person following her, and her eyes showed no concealment, releasing murderous intent.
After the man who was following him was discovered, he realized the murderous intention unleashed by the female cultivator. He no longer concealed it and walked out of the darkness.
"Should I say you are lucky or unlucky?"
The person following him was also a monk, but his cultivation level seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it impossible to tell the details.
When he walked out between words, he glanced at the female cultivator contemptuously, and said leisurely: "I wanted you to live for a while, and then kill you when you get to the right place, but why are you so anxious?" , coming to die!"
Hearing this, the female cultivator frowned slightly and snorted: "You are just a lackey, but you want to kill me. I don't even want to see if you have the ability!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the female cultivator tapped her toes on the ground, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, quickly rushing towards the person following her.
Seeing the female cultivator coming, the person following them just smiled indifferently and raised their hands to spread out a large net like mist.
As soon as the big net appeared, it immediately enveloped the two people, hiding their figures.
Then there were a few slight fluctuations in the mist net, and then it fell silent.
Xu Yuxiu wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to penetrate into the big net, but when he touched the mist, he encountered another burst of invisible resistance and was bounced away.
This made her completely unable to understand the situation.
Cut off your consciousness!
Xu Yuxiu immediately thought of the reason.
It seems that these people who are secretly monitoring are really not simple. They actually have things on their bodies that block the detection of spiritual consciousness!
If he hadn't practiced the Soul Refining Technique, he would have strengthened his spiritual consciousness.
I'm afraid even these people peeping in the dark can't detect it.
But if she wanted to observe in detail, she still couldn't do it with her current consciousness.
Just as Xu Yuxiu was thinking, the mist net dispersed, revealing the scene inside.
The female cultivator was seen unconscious and fell to the ground.
But the person following him looked relaxed and carefree, as if he had just done something not worth mentioning.
Then, he carried the female cultivator, her figure flickered a few times, and then disappeared without a trace.
Xu Yuxiu watched all this quietly and did not make a move to stop it.
At this time, her consciousness moved slightly, and she noticed similar movements coming from several other places.
Xu Yuxiu understood what happened in those places.
She withdrew her consciousness and stopped paying too much attention.
An uneventful night passed peacefully like this.
Xu Yuxiu thought that everything would be fine the next day.
But something unexpected happened.
On the second day, a touch of white fish belly just appeared on the horizon.
There was a commotion in Chuxiu Palace.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a quick knock on the door of the room where Xu Yuxiu and Hua Lingzhu lived.
The two stood up quickly and looked at each other.
Hua Lingzhu gave Xu Yuxiu a look and signaled not to move.
She herself stretched out, made a lazy posture, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Who is making so much noise so early in the morning!"
As she spoke, she walked slowly to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, a palace maid came into view.
"My lord, Lord Shang Gong has summoned all your lords to gather at Chenshi. Please do not be late."
Although the palace maid called Hua Lingzhu a noble person, she ignored him after speaking and turned around to leave.
Hua Lingzhu didn't care about this either.
After closing the door, Hua Lingzhu was confused.
Xu Yuxiu naturally heard the previous words clearly.
The "Lord Shang Gong" in the palace maid's mouth is the highest position of a female official in the palace, responsible for managing all the miscellaneous affairs in the palace.
The beautiful women selected into the palace are naturally under her management.
However, according to usual practice, Shang Gong should only instruct his subordinates, female historians, to manage Xiu Nu. Under normal circumstances, he would not personally convey such orders.
This reminded Xu Yuxiu of what happened last night.
She felt that this time, Shang Gong summoned all the beautiful women, it should be related to this matter.
Xu Yuxiu told Hua Lingzhu this, so that both of them were mentally prepared.
Afterwards, they tidied up their clothes and went out to gather.
