Ling Xiao's face was a little ugly. Not everyone could attend the state banquet. He thought that the imperial master had come to break off the engagement before and would be quite dissatisfied with Ling Xuewei, so he took the opportunity to recommend Si'er and the others. But he didn't expect it to be a disgrace.
!
"Yes, I understand. I will personally send Wei'er to the Imperial Preceptor's residence in three days. Sir, please rest assured."
"No, the Imperial Master will come to greet you in person. Third Miss, just be prepared."
Ling Xiao looked stern and responded quickly, "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, now that the oral message has been conveyed, I won't stay long. Take my leave!"
"I'll see you off, sir."
Ling Xiao personally sent the guards of the Imperial Master's Mansion out of the door. As soon as they left, Ling Xuesi and the other sisters immediately started talking.
"Why only let her attend the state banquet? Just because she is the fiancée of the National Preceptor?"
"What kind of fiancée! The Imperial Preceptor personally came to break off the engagement some time ago. She was shameless and refused to agree to it! I think she was the culprit this time. Otherwise, how could the Imperial Preceptor propose the request?
Take her to the banquet?"
"that is……"
…
Ling Xuewei seemed to have ignored their discussion and was just about to leave when she saw Ling Xiao coming back.
"You should prepare well these days. In three days, the Imperial Master will come to pick you up. Remember, since you are a member of the Ling family, don't embarrass the Ling family and behave well."
Although Ling Xiao is upset when he looks at Ling Xuewei now, it is better for someone in the Ling family to participate in such a matter of being able to show his face at a state banquet than no one.
Ling Xuewei glanced at him lightly and left without saying a word.
Ling Xiao looked at the direction she left, his face livid.
…
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Ling Xuewei has been staying in her room refining elixirs.
Ever since she started refining alchemy, she almost forgot to eat and sleep.
Every day, she felt that there was not enough time and wished that one hour could be used as three hours.
Of course, as she worked so hard, her alchemy skills also improved by leaps and bounds.
In addition to Qi-nourishing pills, she can now refine blood-stopping pills and spirit-enhancing pills.
This surprised her.
Hemostatic pills are indispensable when injured, and ordinary monks will carry a lot of them with them.
The spiritual enhancement pill can increase a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time. It does not require time to absorb, which is also more convenient.
After these days of sleepless research, she refined a total of thirty hemostatic pills and thirty spiritual enhancement pills.
He gave ten pills of each to Xiao Yifeng and kept the rest for himself.
After several days of research, she discovered that the chance of producing elixirs from the Shending Furnace was several times greater than that of ordinary elixir furnaces! And the texture was better!
With an ordinary alchemy furnace and the same amount of medicinal materials, if an alchemist of the alchemy level can refine it to five levels, it is considered good.
But Ling Xuewei can increase this chance to 80%!
Eighty percent! What does this mean?
With the same medicinal materials, she can refine eight pills, while ordinary people can only make five pills at most!
This saves her a lot of time and materials!
This is also the reason why she can refine so many elixirs in a short period of time.
When she gave the prepared elixir to Xiao Yifeng, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the floor!
Anyone who has just started refining elixirs for a few days and can refine such a large amount of elixirs would be surprised to know.
Just as Ling Xuewei finished taking a shower, Xiao Yifeng's voice came from outside, "Master, the carriage from the Imperial Prefecture has arrived at the door."
Imperial Prefecture?
Ling Xuewei was confused for a moment, and then realized that today was the day to enter the palace.
"I know, I'll be fine soon."
Ling Xuewei casually changed into a green shirt, fixed her damp hair with a hairpin, and got ready to go out.
At this moment, Snowball jumped into her arms with a whoosh.
Ling Xuewei hugged it and rubbed its round head, "I have to go out for something, so stay home and watch the door for me."
But the little thing remained motionless, its little claws clinging to her clothes, unable to survive.
Ling Xuewei was helpless, "Okay, I can take you with me, but you have to promise me not to run around, you know?"
The little guy snorted, agreed, and then found a comfortable position and nestled in again.
The corners of Ling Xuewei's mouth curled up slightly.
The little guy had been stuck at home because of his injury. Now that the injury is healed, I just took this opportunity to take him out for some air.
Taking Xiao Yifeng with him, the two of them and the beast headed towards the main hall together.
Before reaching the door, I heard Ling Xiao's voice continuously apologizing inside.
"My little girl will be here soon, please wait a moment..."
Ling Xiao turned around and saw Ling Xuewei walking in. His expression suddenly brightened up, but when he saw the plain blue shirt on her body, he showed displeasure.
"Now that you're here, let's go. The Imperial Master is already waiting outside the door." The guard said.
Ling Xuewei nodded slightly and followed the guard to the main entrance.
Outside the door, there was a luxurious carriage parked.
Eleven armored guards were standing guard behind the carriage.
"National Master, Miss Ling San has brought you."
After a moment, the car curtain was lifted, revealing a face as handsome as jade.
Ling Xuewei leaned over and saluted, "I have met the Imperial Master."
Gu Yunqing glanced at her and saw that she was dressed in simple green clothes, with only a plain hairpin on her head, and no makeup on her face. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, "Are you going to attend a banquet in the palace dressed like this?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
A smile flashed in Gu Yunqing's eyes, "Come up."
Ling Xuewei got on the carriage, the boy whistled, and the carriage moved slowly.
Under the watchful eyes of Ling Xiao and others, the carriage drove towards the palace.
The space inside the car is large, and it can accommodate five people. Ling Xuewei and Gu Yunqing sat on opposite sides, with a small table in between.
There was a chessboard on the stage. Gu Yunqing held the chess pieces in his hands and stared at the board intently.
Most people on this continent advocate force, and few people like things like chess. The man in front of him is strange.
"Can Miss Third know how to play chess?" Gu Yunqing's cold voice sounded.
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly, "No."
"Well, it's not surprising. The Tianxuan Continent is very martial, and they usually spend their time studying martial arts. Very few people delve into chess. It's normal if they don't."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yunqing laid down a piece, then picked up a white piece and looked thoughtful.
Won't?
She doesn't know how to do it, but her Bai Ze can!
An IQ of 300 is not a guarantee!
Kill this Imperial Master to pieces in a matter of minutes!
Ling Xuewei didn't speak, she just sat quietly, as if she was asleep.
"Miss San can make medicine?"
Leng Buding and Gu Yunqing said something else.
Ling Xuewei's heart tightened, but her face remained calm, "Why do you ask, Master Imperial Master?"
Gu Yunqing chuckled, "Miss Third, don't be nervous. I just smelled a faint medicinal fragrance on your body, so I asked this question."
Ling Xuewei was surprised.
She had just taken a shower before going out, and he could still smell it? What kind of nose is this?
Seemingly knowing what Ling Xuewei was thinking, Gu Yunqing said, "As one's cultivation level increases, one's five senses will become more sensitive. Don't you know, Miss Third?"
Ling Xuewei said lightly, "My cultivation was abolished a month ago, so of course I didn't know about it."
"I'm sorry for bringing up the third lady's sadness." Gu Yunqing said apologetically, "I know a little bit about medical skills, why don't you let me take a look at it?"
Ling Xuewei raised her head and said, "Thank you, Imperial Master, for your kindness, but I no longer have that intention. I like the way it looks now, so I won't bother Imperial Master."
"Ha..." Gu Yunqing suddenly laughed when he heard this, and looked at her deeply, "Miss Third, something has changed."
Ling Xuewei's eyelids twitched and she said calmly, "Everyone changes, right?"
Gu Yunqing's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said, "The third lady is right. But even people's nature can be changed, which makes me very strange."
"What does the Imperial Master mean?" Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows.
Gu Yunqing chuckled.
"I remember when I first met Miss, you didn't even dare to say anything, let alone raise your head to look directly at me." Gu Yunqing recalled, "But when we met again, Miss surprised me. Not only was she eloquent, she even
The embarrassment was resolved in a few words, which makes me very suspicious of you."
Ling Xuewei's expression remained unchanged, "Everyone will grow, and it is impossible to stay the same forever. In a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, if you still can't learn to change, you will have been swallowed up to the point where nothing is left. Imperial Master
Don’t adults have this kind of experience?”
Gu Yunqing raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "You are right. However, the third lady is so blunt, which really surprises me."
"I've always been like this, making the Imperial Master laugh."
"Haha, no."
Immediately, the car fell into silence again.
Ling Xuewei closed her eyes and rested her mind.
But my brain didn't stop spinning.
How could she relax with a difficult fox sitting next to her?
This man was mysterious and unpredictable, and he might catch him if he wasn't careful. It was better for her to be careful.
"Is this the pet raised by Miss Third?" Gu Yunqing spoke again to break the silence, his eyes falling on the sleepy Xueqiu in her arms.
Ling Xuewei opened her eyes, "Yes. I accidentally got it at the market, so I took it back and raised it."
"It looks quite special. I wonder what kind it is?"
"I heard that it seems to be the cub of the White Wolf in the Snowy Land. I don't know the details." Ling Xuewei said, "Tell the truth."
"White wolf in the snowy area? It doesn't look much like it to me." Gu Yunqing shook his head.
"The Imperial Master has seen the white wolf in the snow?" Ling Xuewei was surprised.
"Well, I met them by chance a few years ago, but they don't have such red lines on their foreheads." Gu Yunqing said.
"Maybe it's another species. After all, there are many weird things in nature." Ling Xuewei guessed.
"Yes, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of pattern..." Gu Yunqing's eyes flashed with deep thought.
Ling Xuewei pretended not to see it and said, "It's just a cute and lazy little pet. I keep it to relieve boredom on weekdays. I just want to take it out for some air today."
"What about the one outside? Did you bring him out for some air?" Gu Yunqing suddenly changed the subject, so fast that Ling Xuewei was stunned.
When Gu Yunqing saw this expression on her face, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "That guard of yours is not an ordinary one. He is a second-level Martial Master, right?"
