Yao Ruoyan sneered and said disdainfully: "Do you believe what a man says? What's more, he is still the thief Ye Chen!"
"I thought you would be smarter, but who knew you would be so stupid too."
"When he learned of his death, Leng Xiqiu risked his life and ran to Xuanyue Palace to cause a scene. Don't tell me you didn't know."
"so what?"
Lin Qingyan said indifferently: "It's just her wishful thinking. I will handle my affairs on my own, and there is no need for the Queen to care."
Yao Ruoyan was also angry when she heard this, her eyes were like daggers, and her tone was cold: "What if I say that he is not a suitable person?"
Lin Qingyan looked at her not to be outdone, and said proudly: "What does that have to do with me? That's my business! If the Holy Queen doesn't like it, you can kill me!"
Yao Ruoyan held the cold handrail hard, her eyes changed several times, and finally softened.
She sighed indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't interfere in your affairs. I just want to remind you once again that men can't be trusted, let alone lewd thieves."
"I know, but I believe in my own vision!"
Although Lin Qingyan won the competition with Yao Ruoyan for the first time, she was still a little disinterested and not as proud as she had imagined.
Yao Ruoyan waved her hand and asked Lin Qingyan to go down. The mother and daughter parted on bad terms, and the gap seemed to have deepened.
Yao Ruoyan didn't expect that her always obedient daughter would actually contradict her. Even if he forced her to get married before, she would just leave quietly.
Now actually arguing with herself for Xiao Yifeng, she leaned helplessly on her seat and smiled bitterly.
"Is this the rebellious stage? What kind of ecstasy soup did Ye Chen feed her?"
After leaving the Star Palace, Lin Qingyan returned to her Tianxuan Pavilion with a complicated expression.
Tianxuan Pavilion is located on Tianxuan Peak below the Star Temple. The terrain is towering into the clouds. It is one of the few mountains second only to Star Observation Cliff.
Tianxuan Pavilion, as the intelligence processing department within the Star Temple, is mainly responsible for investigating, analyzing and responding to various developments in the world.
She walked with heavy steps through the corridor of Tianxuan Pavilion. Some simple patterns were carved on the stone railings on both sides.
The entire Tianxuan Pavilion is surrounded by dense Shura trees. The leaves are as sharp as swords, giving people a deserted and chilling atmosphere.
This caused Tianxuan Pavilion to be shrouded in thick shadows, seemingly hiding endless secrets, as if there was a chill in the air.
The Star Temple disciples along the way bowed respectfully to Lin Qingyan, showing her noble status as a saint and the master of Tianxuan Pavilion.
Lin Qingyan just walked on the road indifferently and stepped directly into Tianxuan Pavilion without responding.
She slowly sat on the large chair that belonged to the master of Tianxuan Pavilion. The night pearls on both sides slowly lit up, illuminating her pale face, but she was a little confused.
Not long after, Shen Qishuang, the Holy Envoy of Nanli, walked in from outside. Dressed in black, she looked extremely solemn, and the frost on her face seemed to freeze the air.
Her eyes were sharp, her black hair fluttering in the wind, exuding a cold beauty.
The moment she saw Lin Qingyan, a happy smile appeared on her face and she said with a smile: "Qingyan, it's great that you are okay. Beifeng is scared by you."
Ever since Lin Qingyan left, they have been worried.
Now that Lin Qingyan is back, they are devastated. They had no chance to speak at the banquet just now, but now they are coming over soon.
Lin Qingyan looked at Shen Qishang with some emotion, smiled and said: "I didn't expect that after going around in circles, I still came back. I made you worry."
"As long as you come back, what will the Queen say?" Shen Qishang asked worriedly.
Lin Qingyan shook her head and said: "What else can she say? It's just the same as before, but I won't be manipulated by her anymore."
Shen Qishuang hummed, her expression showed a trace of relief, and then she said in a gentle tone: "As long as you like it, I will be on your side."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said with gentle eyes: "It should be a little different this time, because I am no longer alone."
In her eyes, the originally cold and solemn Tianxuan Pavilion was completely different from before.
The place seemed to be suddenly filled with warmth and vitality, as if every corner was shining with soft light.
Shen Qishang frowned and asked curiously: "Why?"
Aren’t you and Bei Feng always together?
At this moment, Shen Qishang suddenly felt that she seemed to have paid wrongly after all.
Lin Qingyan smiled softly, her eyes shining with happiness, and she said softly: "Because he is with me."
Shen Qishuang's face turned ugly, and she asked nervously: "Are you talking about Seven Kills?"
Lin Qingyan nodded and asked in surprise: "Yes! What's wrong? Has he ever taken advantage of you?"
"How can this be."
Shen Qishuang smiled bitterly, shook her head, and advised seriously: "I just don't think he is a suitable choice for your husband."
"Why do you even say that!" Lin Qingyan was a little unhappy.
"I heard others say that Qisha is Ye Chen? I'm just afraid that he will lie to you." Shen Qishang said worriedly.
However, Lin Qingyan said nonchalantly: "I am not a normal woman. Isn't this a good match?"
Shen Qishang was speechless by what she said, and could only kindly dissuade her: "Do you want to stop thinking about it?"
"I have spent my whole life thinking about and verifying it, so there is no need for it." Lin Qingyan replied seriously.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. This guy came out with the name of a lewd thief.
It's better now, everyone is shouting.
Shen Qishuang knew that she always told the truth, so she could only sigh and said: "It's up to you. If he dares to betray you, I will never forgive him."
Lin Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Shen Qishang's status was very special to her. She was like a teacher, a mother, a sister and a friend.
"By the way, Aunt Shuang, where have you been with Aunt Feng during this time?"
Shen Qishuang said with a solemn expression: "We are going to the Kingdom of Zhao!"
"What's going on?" Lin Qingyan asked in surprise.
"The spies reported that someone in Zhao State is suspected of refining corpses from living people on a large scale. The number of missing people is increasing, and it has become too large to cover up." Shen Qishang said solemnly.
Lin Qingyan's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "You mean this matter is related to the Xuanyin Palace?"
Shen Qishang nodded and said, "Yes, the Holy Queen ordered me and Bei Feng to secretly investigate this matter. I'm afraid this matter is related to Lingmian Pavilion."
"But Lingmian Pavilion alone can't hide such a big thing. I'm afraid there are bigger figures behind it to back it up."
She presented a jade slip, and Lin Qingyan's face grew colder the more she looked at it.
Although the realm of stars is a demonic way, it emphasizes one's willfulness, but it does not mean that people's lives can be taken carelessly.
During the more than ten years of war, hundreds of thousands of people disappeared for no reason in the Zhao Kingdom, including monks and ordinary people.
If the war hadn't ended and someone risked his life to come forward and report, and the Tianxuan Pavilion spies found out, I don't know how long this matter would have been covered up.
