…

Noon the next day.

As a faint light flashed in the Jinghua Tianyu Cave, a coquettish figure appeared in the center of the teleportation array.

The scent of forget-me-not floats in the air.

Lan Yurou stepped out of the teleportation array with a serious face and walked towards the central hall.

A few days ago, she received the phantom spirit crane from the master at the Jade Guifeng of Lingyue Sect, saying that the troubles of the Hidden Sect had been completely eliminated by the spirit envoys, and Lingyue could also put it aside for the time being.

Someone is harassing the sects associated with Jinghua Palace again. The last part of the letter is about recall orders and holidays.

Lu Lingqiu briefly summarized the situation of the crisis and mentioned in the letter that he would "give everyone a real holiday." However, despite the good news, Lan Yurou could not be happy at all.

She had learned that both Sha Ling and Jin Yu were injured by their master in this battle, and even the spiritual commander and another first generation also took action.

But she only stayed with Lingyue Sect and failed to protect her master, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

She didn't know that the super army of more than 500 people led by the digital god-level monks that originally went to attack Lingyue was directly intercepted and killed by Hua Ling on the way, and had long since turned into dust under the influence of time.

, otherwise, she will face the enemy sooner or later.

With a sense of disparity in her heart, she slowly walked into the central hall.

"Eh? May I ask who you are...?"

At this moment, Cang Lan happened to walk out of the kitchen, holding the thick "Master's Cookbook" in his hand. It seemed that he was studying a large number of recipes in it seriously.

When Lan Yurou saw this new and unfamiliar face for the first time, she didn't answer anything. Instead, she looked at her for a moment and asked:

"Who are you?"

"Ah, my... name is Cang Lan, and I am Asuka's friend."

She didn't know how to introduce herself, so she had to say so cautiously.

"Oh? 'Friend'?"

Hearing this, Lan Yurou sat on the exclusive "Shui Ling" seat on the side of the long table, raised her slender white legs, and continued to look at her with scrutinizing eyes. The sharp gaze from her sapphire-like pupils seemed to be...

Penetrate her.

As the "Flower Searching Envoy" of Jinghua Palace, Lan Yurou, like Hua Ling, can tell the quality of her qualifications almost at a glance. She is very gentle to the official envoys, but when it comes to "outsiders", she

Naturally very cold.

At this moment, Cang Lan closed the book in her hand very nervously and stood up straight, feeling a little uneasy about being looked at by her like this.

"Well, the qualifications are above average; a little worse than Feiniao. The appearance is above average; compared with Mu Qing, a little inferior. The talent is above average; compared with Lianxing, a little inferior. If you want to become a spirit envoy,

I’m afraid it’s not very good yet.”

Lan Yurou thought like this in her heart, and soon lost interest in her. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly heard a surprised exclamation from behind:

"Sister Shui Lian?! You're back!"

She turned around and saw Xia Lianxing nimbly walking out of the storage room next door, holding a long mop in both hands.

But her image at this moment is different from before——

The original vine purple slit, off-shoulder, cool short skirt had unexpectedly transformed into a black and white maid suit similar to the flower bell style.

Different from Hua Ling's frigid style, she wears a very soft-looking lace headband on her head, which can be well fixed on her two black cat ears; not only that, the back hem of the skirt

, also has a button-sized hole design, just enough to expose her cattail; on the lower body, the original leggings were replaced with ultra-thin and breathable translucent black silk over-the-knee socks, paired with short maid

The skirt can perfectly show her absolute realm of purity and desire.

"?"

Seeing her happily running and jumping towards her, Lan Yurou was puzzled:

"Lianxing, what's going on with this... thing you're wearing? Where's your spirit uniform?"

"Hey, this is with Sister Hualing's permission!"

Xia Lianxing held up the mop with one hand and explained happily:

"Sister Hualing has been too tired recently. The master asked us to temporarily take over her work. I will be responsible for cleaning; Cang Lan will be responsible for cooking~"

She gestured to Cang Lan who was not far away with her eyes, and continued:

"Then this morning, when I was cleaning the storage room, I found... um... more than a hundred sets! Maid uniforms of various styles and sizes!

After knocking on the door and asking Sister Hualing, I found out that all these are the ones she wears every day... I was shocked at the time, but Sister Hualing said, 'If you like it, just pick one and take it away.'

...I'll just...just..."

Lan Yurou: "..."

As a woman, Lan Yurou, who is good at tailoring in the Jinghua Palace, can naturally find that every time she sees Hua Ling, the maid uniform she wears will change extremely subtly. If you don't observe these changes carefully,

Even the owner may not be able to spot it at a glance.

She knew that Hualing was designed to allow its master to appreciate a different beauty every time, so she put in unimaginable painstaking efforts to develop and design hundreds of different styles of maid uniforms...

It can be said that this elf's accomplishments in uniform design have already reached a terrifying level under the influence of her master, and may even surpass herself who often sews new uniforms for her sisters.

Lan Yurou looked again at Xia Lianxing, who exuded a lovely aura, nodded and said:

"It fits very well. The owner should like it."

"Ah...really?!"

Maomao was very happy to receive Sister Shui Lian's approval. She knew that the strict Sister Shui Lian rarely praised others. If she did, then it was really good.

"Um."

After speaking, Lan Yurou did not stay any longer, but stood up and walked directly towards the Fenghua Mountain Teleportation Array. She was going to report the situation on Lingyue's side to her master first.

At this moment, the teleportation array suddenly made a "buzz" sound, and as the power of space spread slightly, Lu Lingqiu's figure happened to appear in the array.

"Owner!"

The girls immediately looked over and saw him frowning: "Shui Lian, you are back."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing the master whom she had longed for, Lan Yurou had no other expression on her face and just gave her a gift.

"Well, let's take a rest here first. I have something to talk about."

"OK."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked to both sides of the long table.

When Lu Lingqiu passed by Xia Lianxing and was about to walk to the main seat, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl's stunning new dress from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but pause and noticed her change: "Lianxing, this is...?

"

"Ah...that's it..." Soon, the girl quietly repeated what she just said to her master using the voice transmission technique. Lu Lingqiu showed a look of understanding on his face and nodded, saying that it was very cute and he liked it very much.

However, he was preoccupied now, and it was obvious that he could not appreciate the girl's beauty up close. After sitting on the main seat, he solemnly said to the girls:

"Recently, I plan to go out."

"Master, where are you going?" Lan Yurou and Xia Lianxing were a little confused.

However, Lu Lingqiu looked back at the stairs and made sure that Bai Xue was still resting in the room obediently, then he said in a deep voice:

"Daxueshan Sect."

"Eh?!"

"I have already said hello to Jin Yu and the others in advance.

The thing is like this, before I sent Feiniao to do a reconnaissance mission in the Snowy Mountains. Logically speaking, with her speed, she should have come back long ago. However, after so many days, she has not been seen, and she has not contacted me with paper cranes...

…”

Before he could finish speaking, Cang Lan suddenly saw a strange expression on his face.

Lu Lingqiu frowned, looked at her, and asked warmly:

"Cang Lan, do you have any idea about this?"

I thought she was just worried about Xi Feiniao's safety, but I saw her nodding with absolute certainty:

"...Yes, Senior Lu."

"ah?"

Everyone was greatly surprised and immediately focused their attention on her.

Just listen to her slowly recalling an experience that happened before coming here:

"I once received a letter at Cangyunjiao... The letter was delivered by a bright yellow spiritual bird. When I got the letter, the spiritual bird turned into little golden lights..."

Lu Lingqiu frowned slightly and listened intently.

"That's a summons order...

The letter read: ‘Evil demons continue to gather, and fierce ghosts will eventually appear. The Snow Mountain area has become a holy city, and all demon clans can set out to take refuge in the Holy Land of the Far North from now on.’…”

"'Evil Demon'? 'Violent Ghost'? 'Ultimate Holy Land'?" He was shocked when he heard this, and his expression became even more solemn.

"That's right."

Cang Lan paused, took a deep breath, and added:

"The owner of the letter claims to be the 'Far North Demon God'."
