A curtain woven from tiny flower petals lifted and fell as Flower Deity Xing stepped out from within.
She gave a few instructions to the celestial maidens, then turned to see Lu Yao walking leisurely along the covered corridor, accompanied by a maid.
Immediately, Xing put on a warm smile and greeted her with a bow.
“Heavenly Maiden.”
Lu Yao asked, “Is he inside?”
Xing nodded.
“He is.”
Lu Yao turned back and ordered her attendants to step back.
Then, she looked at Xing with an enigmatic smile.
“The seal on that mortal girl appears to have been lifted.”
Xing’s expression shifted in surprise.
“Who did it?”
Lu Yao’s gaze flickered, and she let out a soft sigh.
“That’s what I came here to ask.
“Did he mention anything to you about it?”
Xing pretended to think.
“I only mentioned it to Sister Mei.
“She has always been cautiousshe wouldn’t have dared tell anyone.
“Besides, who else could possibly undo Divine Lord’s seal?”
She hesitated deliberately, then suggested tentatively,
“Could it be that Divine Lord changed his mind and removed it himself?”
Lu Yao relaxed.
“I thought so, too.
“After all, anything concerning her is impossible to divine.
“He must have been careful.”
Xing offered a perfunctory smile.
“Divine Lord is inside.
“You should go in, Heavenly Maiden.”
Lu Yao smiled slightly, then lifted the curtain and entered.
So… the Flower Decree really could lift the seal.
Xing was secretly delighted.
She had witnessed the scene with her own eyes
The Kunlun Celestial Lord’s son, burned to ashes under Samadhi True Fire.
That mortal girl had been driven to hatred, despising the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Even though the Celestial Emperor had granted her Jade Pool’s Golden Lotus Dew, she was still imprisoned for a thousand years, forced to endure the torment of Heavenly Fire.
And that mortal girl had refused to cultivate as an immortal.
A human’s lifespan was no more than a few decades.
There was no chance they would meet again in this lifetime.
Would someone like her simply let it go?
It just so happened that Hu Yue of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had been causing trouble in Chong Zhou lately.
Now, if Mei was foolish enough to remove her seal,
It wouldn’t be long before something happened.
And when the punishment came, it would have nothing to do with her.
How much longer can you even hold onto that Flower Decree?
The more Xing thought about it, the happier she became.
Unable to resist, she let out a soft laugh and hurried away.
Inside the room.
A celestial maid had just finished serving tea.
As soon as she left, Lu Yao rose from her seat and complained playfully.
“It’s always me who has to come looking for you.
“The other day, I was even teased about it by Consort Jiuyi.”
Jin Xiu calmly closed his scroll.
“How is the Northern Realm King?”
Lu Yao smiled.
“His Majesty is doing well, though he has been busy lately.”
She moved closer to him and sat down by his side.
“Because he’s worried that Lu Jiu will cause trouble,
“He keeps telling me to stay at home and watch over him.”
Jin Xiu asked,
“If that’s the case, why do you have time to come today?”
Lu Yao laughed.
“Lu Jiu went to see his cousin today.
“So I finally had a chance to visit you.”
Jin Xiu’s brows furrowed slightly.
“The Hu family?”
Lu Yao nodded.
“That’s right.”
She idly traced the rim of his tea cup with her fingers.
“My uncle’s surname is Hu.
“As for my cousin, she was once incredibly gifted in cultivation.
“But unfortunately, she fell for a mortal and is now trapped in her trial of love.
“She refuses to return from Chong Zhou, choosing instead to stay by that mortal’s side.”
She sighed lightly.
“So I figured I might as well send Lu Jiu to try and talk some sense into her…”
Before she could finish, Jin Xiu suddenly cut her off.
“Chong Zhou?”
“I know that girl is also in Chong Zhou,” Lu Yao said with a smile.
