Luo Wusheng ultimately didn’t enter the Red Blossom Pavilion.
He merely conducted a brief investigation outside the building and discovered that there was no trace of the courtesan inside.
When he approached closer, he also saw the notice stating that the courtesan was not receiving visitors due to catching a cold.
Leaving a distance from the Red Blossom Pavilion, Luo Wusheng found a secluded spot and released his stealth mode. There was a pensive expression on his face.
(That girl really made a move…)
It was impossible for her to be sick. Even if Yao Ji wasn’t the mortal form of the Empress, judging from her behavior yesterday, she was definitely not an ordinary person. It would be highly unlikely for her to catch a common cold and fall ill so easily within a day.
“This mean she did receive the information I mentioned last night? No, she already had some suspicions about the turmoil in the royal city. It’s also possible that she had some thoughts after receiving my answers to her questions when she left yesterday…”
But if Yao Ji wasn’t the mortal form of the Empress, who could her true identity be?
Luo Wusheng leaned back in his chair, finally fully relaxed.
Hmm, it’s hard to say for sure, as cultivators in the world of xianxia often have multiple identities, just like how I was Long Dahai just a moment ago.
Lost in thought and with nothing to do, Luo Wusheng wandered around and returned to his newly purchased home. Bai Xiaoyao was still inside the room, but there was a letter left outside her door.
The letter didn’t mention anything about her own abnormality and went straight to the point.
(“Hmm, Bai Xiaoyao is going into seclusion to cultivate a secret technique… This is a lie, next item.”)
(“Oh? She has already contacted the Demon Sect to send more artifact refiners? She truly understands me well, my considerate junior sister. She has already noticed this matter. But with this, I don’t need to worry about the Demon Artifact Pavilion anymore… That’s good, anyway, I’m going to meet the Empress soon, so having fewer trivial matters to deal with will allow me to prepare more.”)
The letter was short, and Luo Wusheng quickly finished reading it. It mainly discussed the plans she had made for the Demon Artifact Pavilion and some things she didn’t have time to tell him yesterday.
It’s really nice to have such an attentive child. While he, this uncouth and ignorant man, hasn’t even thought about anything, Bai Xiaoyao has already arranged everything properly for him.
Such a good child, it would be even better if her sexual orientation were normal.
The protagonist has caused a lot of trouble.
Looking at the words of satisfaction in the letter regarding the snacks he made for her, Luo Wusheng smiled contentedly. He said a few words outside the door, telling his junior sister to focus on her cultivation and not worry too much.
After doing all this, the bored Luo Wusheng was about to go and probe Jianxian Miss’s intentions, but his steps suddenly paused.
His eyes flickered, and his body swayed, disappearing like a shadow.
After he left, Bai Xiaoyao, who couldn’t sense her senior brother’s presence outside the door, slowly pushed it open, took a glance at the direction he had left, and then returned to her room.
(“I was just thinking that after senior brother left in the morning, he would go to the Red Blossom Pavilion… Looks like I was overthinking it. After all, senior brother has already come back so quickly…”)
(“The feeling just now should be that Golden-Ranked person coming again. I guess this time he came to discuss the matter of eradicating demons with senior brother…”)
The little girl behind the door held a large cup, taking small sips. As she did, the slight frown on her delicate face gradually relaxed, revealing a satisfied smile.
“This thing called ‘milk tea’ that senior brother made is really delicious… Who would have thought that mixing animal milk and tea would create such a taste? The things senior brother knows are so interesting.”
Her tender red tongue lightly slid across her lips, and Bai Xiaoyao, with graceful steps, walked to the side of her bed.
There was a small cabinet placed there.
“For now, since it was made with great difficulty, it would be a shame to destroy it. There might be a chance to… to wear it again in the future. It may be difficult to wear it again, but let’s keep it for now.”
The sealed small wardrobe was once again sealed and stored in a storage bag.
…
Miss Kirin has come again.
This time, she didn’t appear in the main hall but teleported to a side hall nearby. There was no attempt to conceal her presence as she waited for Luo Wusheng inside the hall.
When Luo Wusheng arrived, the Golden-Ranked official from the Six Gates Bureau still had the same cold and aloof demeanor. She only lifted her head slightly when the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint entered the hall and sat in the guest seat.
“The results are in, and everything is as you said,” she said in her familiar cold voice, without much change.
Hearing the familiar cold voice unchanged, Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that there were no more unexpected changes this time, and everything should proceed smoothly as in the original story.
“That’s indeed good news,” he smiled and took the main seat. “I wonder how the Immortal Nation plans to respond this time? Will they deploy the Nascent Soul stage cultivators? Oh right, I forgot that such matters should not be casually revealed…”
Realizing that he asked an inappropriate question, Luo Wusheng was about to apologize, but he saw Miss Kirin shaking her head.
“It’s fine to tell you. After all, it’s because of you that the Immortal Nation had the opportunity to make preparations,” Miss Kirin said nonchalantly. “The demon extermination is scheduled for tomorrow night. While Nascent Soul stage cultivators will be present, they will only be in the rear as a precaution against unforeseen circumstances. They won’t personally take action unless something unexpected happens.”
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes behind the mask stared at the young man across from her, but she couldn’t see the slightest change in his expression. Instead, he remained calm and composed.
“In that case, the Empress will be using the Human Emperor Sword, right?”
This part is also exactly the same as the original plot.
But there was always a feeling that he had forgotten something…
Just as he was about to think carefully about whether he had overlooked something else, Miss Kirin across from him let out a deep sigh.
“You predicted it correctly.”
She was really curious now about what else there was that this young man in front of her couldn’t foresee.
Although she was responsible for investigation and reasoning within the Six Gate Bureau, she couldn’t muster much interest when facing Luo Wusheng.
He was like those enigmatic diviners from the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, who seemed to have calculated numerous future secrets and gave off an omniscient vibe.
There was a complex look in Miss Kirin’s eyes beneath her mask.
Could it be that this Demon Sect’s Holy Saint had truly studied the art of divination?
On the other hand, Luo Wusheng, who had received confirmation and couldn’t remember what was wrong, also stopped contemplating.
Since there was still plenty of time, he could continue to recall later. Right now, it was better to deal with the matter at hand.
So he put on an expression that seemed to have made a decision.
“In that case, I will observe the demon-slaying tomorrow night in the vicinity of the northern city… There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
He wanted to take a look at the Empress in advance.
However, his statement puzzled Miss Kirin for a moment.
It was different from her previous speculation.
Based on the actions of this Demon Sect’s Holy Saint yesterday, he shouldn’t want to be involved in this matter.
But now, it seemed that he had changed his mind?
After a slight contemplation, Miss Kirin nodded.
“I will go back and explain this matter. If it doesn’t hinder anything, I will come to find you before tomorrow night.”
