evening.

When Lu Lingqiu brought Xia Lianxing back to Tianshan Mountain, the interior of the Jinghua Tianyu Cave was already in an extremely chaotic scene——

I saw the spirit envoys gathered around the long table in the central hall, whispering to each other in low voices, as if they were holding some important emergency meeting... They didn't even notice the return of their master at the first time.

Lu Lingqiu was surprised, so he spread his consciousness and listened.

Xi Feiniao: "Isn't it?! That ghost in the tribulation period was able to recover her body after eating a killing blow from Sister Ping Yi? Is this considered an 'immortal body'?!

"

Bai Xue: "Maybe... As far as I know, relying on senior's ability seems to directly wipe out the enemy's soul. According to common sense, even senior Suzaku's holy method may not be able to survive such a fatal attack.

Restore it without damage, after all, the memories she lost before are the evidence.

But Xinkui doesn’t feel like a ‘resurrection’, rather, she seems to be... a ‘dead’ herself.”

Qin Shiyin: "The dead...? It's really incredible that the souls of the dead disperse and regroup."

Xi Feiniao: "Oh my god! So, how on earth did Sister Zhuque defeat such a powerful enemy and snatch Princess Lin back from her??!"

The girl scratched her head.

Bai Xue: "This...I'm not sure either."

All the women expressed disbelief at this point.

Xi Feiniao: "Well, then, in the end, Sister Pingyi just let Xinkui leave? To Tiancang Continent, Xinkui and the others should be considered a huge threat, right?"

Bai Xue: "No. I saw on the star screen that Sister Ping Yi seemed to be very interested after discovering Xinkui's ability, so she smiled and 'caught' her back from the air, completely blocking her attempt to pass through.

The idea of ​​​​pretending to be dead to escape Tianshan..."

Xi Feiniao: "Pfft... pretending to be dead? She's quite clever."

Bai Xue: "Indeed. Now she has been 'twisted' to Shuiyue Palace under the supervision of seniors Jin Yu and Sha Ling."

Xi Feiniao: "...Shuiyue Palace?"

Bai Xue: "Well, it is said to be the underground palace of senior Razina. According to Sister Ping Yi, there are no dungeons in the Jinghua Tianyu. Since he is an interesting prisoner, let Razina return to her old business and give this ordinary person

It would be nice to have a little more color in the dull days. So..." She simply repeated Ping Yi's words.

"That's it." Xiaoniao suddenly realized.

At this time, from the kitchen on the side, Yuan Xiaobu, dressed in a cool cat maid outfit, ran out with a colorful dessert plate and greeted the envoys:

"Pretty seniors, get ready for dinner! Today's dessert is Sister Canglan's newly developed soft bean paste bread. It smells super delicious!"

"Hey~! Kitty, come on, come on!"

"Okay~Eh?!"

In the middle of speaking, Cat suddenly stopped with a look of surprise on his face.

I saw her cat boy blinking, the porcelain plate she was holding shaking with her hands, almost falling to the ground...

"Master?!" she called cautiously.

The girls also realized something at this moment, and immediately followed her gaze and looked back at the entrance of the teleportation array——

"Really the master!"

"The master is back!"

"Master, Sister Lianxing, long time no see!"

Yuan Xiaobu put the plate away and saluted the two people beside the teleportation array. Upon seeing this, the women also stood up decisively to greet them.

In a somewhat dazed state, Lu Lingqiu first simply responded with a gentle smile to the spirit envoys, and then led Xia Lianxing to the long table.

At this moment, he and Xia Lianxing were still in a state of confusion.

After all, they had been away for too long, and the topic they had just discussed made the two of them a little confused.

In Lu Lingqiu's understanding, Ping Yi should have gone out with Hua Ling not long ago. Even if he came back early, what was the war that the girls said was obviously going on?

Who is Xinkui? What is Bone Dragon?

Tianshan has been attacked? Can Ponyi even take action?

What happens if you can still survive after receiving the "Soul Cutting Rope" move from Ping Yi?

Isn't this something only Razina can do?

Not only that, seeing each of them in a relatively excited and stable state made him even more confused because he was still feeling uncomfortable about not getting the Water Elemental Treasure. Could it be that earth-shaking things had happened in the palace during the time he was away?

changes?

"Uh... don't be so enthusiastic. You can just eat as usual. By the way, Bai Xue, please tell me in detail what happened during this time."

The doubts in his heart were a bit overwhelming. He sat down at the main seat of the long table and said this to Bai Xue who was closer to him.

"Okay, Master." Bai Xue was flattered and nodded quickly.

"Master is really..." A certain bird whispered, but after seeing that Xia Lianxing didn't express any opinions, she also retracted her restless thoughts and returned to her seat obediently.

The other spirits knew that their master was confused and were eager to know everyone's current situation. Naturally, they had no objections and took their seats. Yuan Xiaobu continued to run to the kitchen and cooperated with Cang Lan to arrange the food for the dinner.

After a while, except for Mu Qing, all the third and fourth generations of spirit envoys entered the room. Bai Xue began to report to Lu Lingqiu the recent events in the palace.

"That's it..."

In the bright light emitted by the crystal chandelier, she spoke from her own perspective.

Time passed by minute by second. When Lu Lingqiu heard "Senior Shui Lian's injury was cured by Luo Lin's holy method," he was stunned and confirmed it several times.

"real?"

"Well, and under that surge of spiritual energy... Sister Shui Lian has also successfully broken through. The white rain in the sky before today was the vision caused by her transcending the tribulation."

"Is it true..."

It's not that Lu Lingqiu hasn't thought about this, but the possibility is so slim that he can't believe it.

Moreover, if what Bai Xue said is true, then Luo Lin's ability has far exceeded his imagination, and its significance is comparable to the "core of the sky", and even better than the world of Yuliuhai that can provide fresh spiritual energy for thousands of miles.

Trees are much more precious.

Seeing the spirit envoys all nodding to express that this was indeed the case, Lu Lingqiu's heart trembled slightly.

I couldn't help but secretly plan to find time to have a more in-depth conversation with Lorraine.

"In addition, the spirit commander has entered a state of seclusion since returning from the fight, and asked me not to disturb her. Currently, only senior Ping Yi has entered her room, and the current situation is unknown."

Bai Xue refined the key points in every detail.

"Um."

Lu Lingqiu felt a little relieved when he heard that Hua Ling had returned intact.

The trip to the West Sea was different from other trips. He was not sure of Hua Ling's real motive for traveling far away.

However, based on the principle of unconditionally trusting her, as long as she is not harmed and will not face danger, then he can accept it no matter what.

Lu Lingqiu nodded and signaled Bai Xue to continue.

"Finally, it's Miss Xinkui's matter... Master, why not let Cang Lan talk about this part, she was present at the time." Bai Xue glanced at Cang Lan, who had been sitting silently at the back, and said understandingly.

"Eh...??"

Before Cang Lan could be surprised, she saw Lu Lingqiu's eyes looking over:

"Okay, Cang Lan, you can tell me."

"...Ah, okay."

After sorting out the fluctuating emotions in her heart, she began to narrate this morning as calmly as possible, emphasizing the purpose of Xinkui and Gushuang's visit, as well as the entangled state of Senior Suzaku.

As for other parts, Lu Lingqiu already knew a lot about it.

"...What did you say? Interview?"

"Yes, Master.

At first, I thought she was an uninvited guest. After all, the identity of the ghost princess was really scary... However, Miss Xinkui never harmed me at all from beginning to end. Instead, she floated in the sky and waited politely...

Until Sister Zhuque appeared, things gradually became out of control..."

Cang Lan told the truth.

Lu Lingqiu could tell that her words were very objective and absolutely true.

If you look at it this way, the crux of the problem appears——

Why did Xinkui join Jinghua Palace? Is there any dispute between her and Xiaoye?

Based on what Xi Feiniao saw during the last spiritual envoy meeting, he was almost certain that Xiaoye overwhelmingly defeated Xinkui during her mission in the far north and successfully rescued Lorraine.

But if you think rationally, you will find that the contradiction is too obvious.

For example, how did she surpass Xinkui and defeat Xinkui, and why did she not want Xinkui to participate in the interview?

What is she worried about?
