Xingcheng Villa, deep in the bamboo forest.
The middle-aged woman's straightforward expression caused a moment of silence at the dinner table.
Luochuan picked up a plate of fruit and handed it to Siqi behind him, and then said to her and Hua Yu, "Exchange the fruits and vegetables from our side to the fairies' side. I think they rarely use chopsticks. They are probably cultivators." People like me have a light diet and don’t like meat and fish.”
Si Qi and Hua Yu responded and began to move around the table, placing plates of fruits and other dishes in front of the fairies.
Luo Chuan looked at the movements of the two women and said, "The world is indeed a bit chaotic now. Lu Zuxian passed away, and people on the mountain have maintained the rules for three hundred years. Now many people are unwilling to abide by them. It is even more chaotic at the bottom of the mountain. Now Bai Xian has taken the lead to open it." In the 'Heaven and Earth Conference', it is only a matter of time before the chaos at the bottom of the mountain spreads to the mountain. There are few strong people on the mountain who can see clearly and make active decisions like Master Piao Miao..."
The middle-aged woman looked at Luochuan without saying anything.
Luo Chuan looked back at her calmly and said, "That's why the prefects of the counties in Hanzhou in the southwest decided to follow the example of Wuzhou and jointly organize the 'Annan Conference' with the consensus of the four counties. This gave the people on the mountain and the people on the mountain a reasonable basis for understanding each other. If there is an opportunity, why don’t Master Piao Miao wait until the discussion is held before making a decision? At that time, whether it is the location of the mountain gate or other requirements, Li County will follow Piao Miao Palace’s plan and try to meet them as much as possible.”
The middle-aged woman shook her head, "I don't dare to deceive the eunuch. It's not that Piao Miao Palace doesn't want to wait until the discussion of Tao before making a decision, but I'm afraid I can't." She looked at Luochuan, with something ordinary in her eyes. It’s a meaning that only others have, “Because Piao Miao Palace didn’t receive any invitations for this conference at all!”
Luo Chuan frowned slightly, "Master Piaomiao is saying... Anyang County's prefect's palace withheld the invitation originally sent to Piaomiao Palace?"
The middle-aged woman did not shake her head or nod, and did not even say anything clearly. She just wondered, "Someone must have detained it somewhere, otherwise the sect on the mountain that has some contact with my Piaomiao Palace would not even be as large and powerful as my Piaomiao Palace." Cultivation families in the palace and even well-known casual cultivators have received invitations, why not in Duduwo Piaomiao Palace?"
She looked at the suppressed worry on Luo Chuan's face and said, "Master Taishou, Piaomiao Palace is also a human sect and is willing to do its best to fight against the foreigners. But it is like a girl from the mountain who wants to be a wife and must be entrusted to her beloved. Some time ago, I, Piao Miao Palace, worship heaven and worship my ancestors. I got advice from my ancestors to take risks, so I came to Xingcheng uninvited today. Before I could find a place to stay, I heard that the prefect was on the long street to administer justice to an old soldier from Li County. , I just thought that this might be the providence of our ancestors, and we have also analyzed it ourselves. Looking at the entire Southwest Hanzhou, only Li County, which is not bordering Anyang County, but is powerful and absolutely independent, may be suitable, so we took the liberty to visit , I’m so lucky to see you..."
Luo Chuan pondered for a while and said, "I have heard people say that the location of a sect is related to a sect's destiny, and the matter of moving the sect to a different location involves a lot. Moreover, the head of Piao Miao also said before that Li County and Anyang County are not bordering each other. If Piaomiao Palace encounters setbacks when relocating the clan, the support Li County can provide is limited. The head still needs to think carefully about all of this..." He looked at the middle-aged woman and comforted him, "But there is one thing. Master Piao Miao can rest assured that as one of the founders of the 'Annan Conference', Luochuan has no reason to let go of Guizong since he already knows what happened to him. Not only will I give you a personally signed invitation, but I will also Your Highness will escort you until Master Piaomiao makes the final choice at the time of discussion. At that time, no matter where Piaomiao Palace chooses to settle, Luochuan and Lijun will give their full support."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman thought for a moment and then bowed to Luochuan, "Thank you so much, Lord Prefect!"
Luo Chuan returned the salute, and then asked, "By the way, I just heard from Master Miao Miao that your sect is here today, but you haven't found a place to stay yet? Then why not just find a place to stay in another courtyard here? There are many rooms in a separate courtyard, but we alone are not satisfied with them, and it would be a waste to leave them empty."
The middle-aged woman stood up with a happy face, and a group of fairies in white also stood up. They all saluted in the direction of Luochuan, "Qinglanzi and Piaomiao Palace, thank you for your help, Lord Prefect." Grace!"
"Master Piaomiao doesn't need to be polite, it's just a trivial matter," Luo Chuan smiled and waved his hand, then changed the subject and asked, "Piaomiao Palace has been a sect in Anyang County for hundreds of years, and it is a sect dominated by fairies. Sect, do you know anything about Xiaoyao Valley, one of the four major sects in Hanzhou in southwest China?"
When the middle-aged woman sat down again, she seemed to have relieved her burden and seemed much more relaxed. However, she hesitated when she heard Luo Chuan's question and did not speak for a while. The fairies sitting below her looked at each other in confusion. It's a little weird.
"But what taboo did Luo commit by asking this question?" Luo Chuan asked hurriedly.
"There is no taboo," the middle-aged woman thought for a while, then sighed softly and spoke, "The prefect doesn't know something, but my Piaomiao Palace and the Xiaoyao Valley... are closely related. of......"
"Oh?" Luo Chuan was really surprised, "I would like to hear the details." "Just now, the Grand Administrator mentioned that both Xiaoyao Valley and Piaomiao Palace are dominated by female cultivators. In fact, this is not the case. Our two sects are not dominated by female cultivators. Instead, they only accept female cultivators," the middle-aged woman said. "Nine hundred years ago, when the great cauldron was first established, Master Zixia, as one of the great cultivators who helped the First Emperor establish the cauldron in the world, chose Xiaoyao Valley in Anyang County to establish a sect. He suddenly passed away a hundred years later, leaving no candidate for the leadership. At that time, there were exactly two people with the highest cultivation level in Xiaoyao Valley..."
She didn't want to go into too much detail, so she said, "Then one person led many disciples all the way east, and established another mountain gate in Yuanbei City, which is the Piaomiao Palace..."
"The leader is saying... that Piaomiao Palace and Xiaoyao Valley are from the same ancestry?" Luo Chuan said in surprise, "If that's the case, why...?"
The middle-aged woman nodded and said with a wry smile, "Piaomiao Palace and Xiaoyao Valley are indeed from the same sect. There was actually a lot of resentment between the two sects when they separated and established their own families. However, as the two ancestors grew older and became more advanced, They have mostly let go of what happened back then. In the following hundreds of years, the two sects have moved frequently between each other. Although they have not merged into one, they still admit that they are of the same origin. Relatively speaking, Xiaoyao Valley's sect has a much deeper foundation after all, and its strength and The development was far stronger than that of Piaomiao Palace, which was like the lower sect of Xiaoyao Valley and was well taken care of. Until...until Wan Qingsi became the contemporary head of Xiaoyao Valley, other troubles arose. Now the two of them The relationship between the factions is not to say that they are on the same page, but they can also be regarded as strangers..."
Luo Chuan nodded, "I see. It's just that people at the bottom of the mountain say that it's better to dissolve enemies than to marry them. This is especially true for sects on the mountain who want to cultivate immortality. In today's troubled times, with all the barbarians coveting them, all forces must understand and unite all credible forces. We have just been able to overcome this disaster. Since Piaomiao Palace and Xiaoyao Valley have such a connection, what knot cannot be solved? Although I don’t know the real person Wan Qingsi, I am willing to build a bridge between Guizong and Xiaoyao Valley. , or working together with the Anyang County Governor, maybe we can resolve the resentment."
The middle-aged woman seemed touched, but also seemed a little hesitant, but in the end she nodded and said, "Although Xiaoyao Valley and my Piaomiao Palace have been established in Anyang County for hundreds of years, they have a very shallow relationship with the Anyang County governor. "Dan, but if Lord Taishou is willing to come forward in person, then the head of Xiaoyao Valley will have to pay attention to it." She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "In the past few days, Qinglanzi can combine Xiaoyao Valley with that Let the prefect know everything about Wan Qingsi, and it can be considered as helping the prefect... a helping hand."
"That's it," Luo Chuan smiled, "very good."
