Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Inside the Divine Might Imperial Palace of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, the atmosphere had hit a freezing point.

It was freezing both physically and emotionally.

"Ling Sha, since you agreed to go to Ya Li Luo with Yao Guang and me, why are you suddenly going back on your word now?"

Jing Liu was somewhat puzzled, but more than that, she was angry.

Ling Sha had personally told her she would go find Xuan Ge together, which was why she had rushed back from the Luofu in such a hurry.

As a result, Ling Sha turned around and changed her mind, telling her to go to the Er Xiang Le Yuan first and wait for the Emperor to come himself.

"Jing Liu, it takes at least half a day for the Shen Wu to reach Ya Li Luo at its fastest. Even if I get there, I can only keep Xuan Ge company for half a day at most."

Ling Sha stood up from the Dragon Throne, walked slowly over to Jing Liu's side, reached out to take her hand, and led her to sit down to the side.

Hearing this, Jing Liu's temper subsided a few degrees, because what Ling Sha said was the truth.

The Heavenly Realm's plan was about to be implemented, the entire Shen Wu was preparing for the merger, and time-wise, there was indeed only half a day.

"Hehe, don't be angry. This change of heart is indeed my fault...."

Ling Sha smiled faintly, poured a cup of tea for Jing Liu, and then changed the subject.

"But... do you hope that the Emperor's limited time by his side will all be taken away by others?"

Jing Liu, who had been about to reach out and take the tea, froze with her hand suspended in mid-air the moment she heard this.

She raised her eyes to look into Ling Sha's pupils, confirming there was no abnormal pink rippling within them, before speaking with a frown.

"Ling Sha, you have already reached the summit; now you only need to balance all sides. If you do this, you will give people leverage against you."

"I know. But I have to do this." Ling Sha nodded, pushing the tea cup a little further forward.

Jing Liu still did not take hold of that cup.

If Ling Sha didn't make things clear, she wouldn't easily form an alliance.

Seeing that Jing Liu was no longer as single-minded as before, Ling Sha teased with a smile: "It seems that past mistake taught you quite a few lessons."

Back then, Jing Liu was truly too stubborn.

Because Yao Guang's divination predicted the child would have white hair, Jing Liu insisted on confronting Yao Guang to get to the bottom of it — she just had to see whose child that anchored one really was.

In the end, it let Da Li Hua exploit a loophole, and even let Xuan Ge eat the Xian Zhou White Hair Covered Rice.

"..... I don't want to answer this question." Jing Liu averted her gaze.

She definitely acted that way back then because she was influenced by the Mo Yin Body.

Mhm, definitely the Mo Yin Body.

"I'll put it straight: the Emperor... he's practically turning into the Huan Le's Evil Face."

The moment these words left her mouth, Jing Liu immediately grasped the tea cup Ling Sha was holding out.

Ling Sha was right; Xuan Ge was too indulgent now.

Setting aside carnal pleasures, his standards for "big" were getting lower and lower, as if he could get involved with just about any woman.

"You noticed it too, right? Ever since the Emperor was freed from the Void by Huang Quan, ever since he went to Weng Fa Luo Si, he's become a completely different person." Ling Sha hit on the crux of the matter.

She never interfered with the matter of collecting women; after all, she would always be the first.

But the way Xuan Ge was aggressively amassing them like this... it wasn't like his usual style at all.

Now it was more like seeking joy for the sake of joy — wanting it just because it was joy.

"It's Ji Zi." Jing Liu gave the answer with certainty.

Her understanding of this Reverse Disciple... of Xuan Ge, was actually no shallower than Ling Sha's.

Xuan Ge must have learned of some situation that even he was powerless to reverse, which was why he was indulging himself like this.

Just like back then, when he trained desperately without regard for everything, and recruited a private army despite others' suspicions, all just to be able to resist the Shuhu Rebellion.

"I think so too." Ling Sha agreed with Jing Liu's guess.

This was indeed a difficult problem placed before Xuan Ge.

Judging from the intelligence coming from Yao Guang's side, what Ji Zi was involved in wasn't just the Return to Silence, but the entire Wu Liang Ta, and even the Er Xiang Le Yuan and that Glutton.

The matter was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

Jing Liu thought for a moment about Xuan Ge possibly having to face those schemes and the Glutton alone, and felt a surge of anger: "This Reverse Disciple, even now he still acts like he has to shoulder everything himself!"

Ling Sha automatically ignored Jing Liu's unique pet name for Xuan Ge, stood up, and glanced at the time.

"We should go. Yao Guang has likely already set off; you need to go intercept her."

"Mhm." Jing Liu also stood up, while mentally adding a heavy entry to Jing Yuan's tab.

This Jing Yuan, just busy going crazy alongside Xuan Ge — as brothers who spent every day together, he actually didn't notice these subtle changes at all!

They were all discovered by Ling Sha alone!

Er Xiang Le Yuan, inside the Zhu Xing Da Sha.

"Yao Guang, where are you going?"

Yao Guang, who was just about to board the Hang Jian from the top floor, heard this urgent voice behind her, stopped in her tracks, and turned to look.

"Going to find Xuan Ge, of course." Yao Guang looked at the hastily approaching Zhen Zhu, the corner of her mouth curling up. "What, do you want to go too?"

Zhen Zhu nodded straightforwardly: "Yes."

"Ling Sha is there too. You still want to go?" The curve of Yao Guang's lips carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Zhen Zhu froze instantly: "Ling Sha? Could it be that Han Yuan Jun summoned her over?"

She learned a great deal from Yao Guang and Fei Cui, and her understanding of harem affairs could already be considered quite thorough.

Although in terms of status alone, Ling Sha was merely an ordinary concubine in the harem.

But her reputation among the people of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou was in no way inferior to that of the true mistress of the harem.

After all, she was the only woman who dared to wear the golden phoenix hairpin and phoenix robe.

Ling Sha was not the Empress, yet she held the Empress's authority, even military power; Ling Sha could act whenever she wished.

As long as she was unhappy, no matter what earth-shattering matter Xuan Ge was busy with, he had to obediently return to coax her.

Da Li Hua is the embodiment of Xuan Huang's kinks, while Ling Sha is Xuan Huang's Enumerator.

So Zhen Zhu really could not understand — just which immortal had recruited Ling Sha over.

Isn't this making a scene!

The corner of Yao Guang's smiling mouth stiffened for a moment, and she did not answer directly.

After all, she still had to leave a bit of face for her naive junior sister.

"Xuan Huang has been playing outside for too long; Ling Sha would naturally miss him. Her going to find someone is only reasonable."

Pausing a moment, Yao Guang threw out the question from just now again: "So, do you still want to go?"

"I..." Zhen Zhu felt a bit of a headache; she was rather afraid of Ling Sha.

Not just her — in fact, it should be said that besides Yao Guang and Da Li Hua, all the women in the harem had a natural awe of Ling Sha.

Yao Guang was unafraid because her status was too proper.

In the entire harem, Yao Guang was the only one who could directly contend with Ling Sha.

Her son was not only the legitimate Hunt Crown Prince, but also the first heir to the throne, not to mention the vast network of connections by blood and marriage.

Xuan Yao is the disciple of General Shen Ce, the future Luofu-appointed Xianzhou General;

Her master's master is Jing Liu, connecting to the old generation's ties;

The Stellaron Hunter Ren and the Shen Wu Dragon Venerable Dan Heng are both the Hunt Crown Prince's uncles.

Extending further outward, Ren's master is General Zhu Ming Huai Yan, Dan Heng has ties with the Train crew, and can even connect to Consort Yue.

Counting layer by layer like this, it is simply endless.

Mother honored by son's status, Yao Guang fears no one, and can even stand up to both Ling Sha and Xuan Ge at once.

As for Da Li Hua... ah, let's not talk about her; she's too overpowered, fundamentally not a person of the same dimension.

"Seeing you still hesitating, you might as well stay in the Er Xiang Le Yuan."

Seeing Zhen Zhu remain silent for a long time, Yao Guang simply gave the suggestion directly.

"Xuan Ge will eventually come to the Er Xiang Le Yuan. This is your territory; when the time comes, you can do whatever you want, and no one can control you."

"... En, okay." Zhen Zhu nodded; she indeed needed to plan for the long term.

The people from Weng Fa Luo Si will definitely board the Astral Express later; this is the result Yao Guang divined.

She wasn't afraid of this point, because those are all juniors with shallow experience, still not comparable to her, a Zhi Neng who was almost topped by Xuan Ge.

The one who truly makes her wary is Ji Zi.

Xuan Ge's sole important purpose in coming to the Er Xiang Le Yuan is to save Ji Zi; everything else can be put off.

As for that Phantylia game, Xuan Ge most likely won't participate.

He has never cared for a Xing Shen's authority.

If he wanted to become a god, the Xunlie Xingshen Lan would be the first to yield the position, and would even personally drive him up.

Seeing Zhen Zhu finally settle down, Yao Guang also smiled and waved her hand, turning to walk toward the Hang Jian.
