The rain in the Divine Capital has been falling intermittently for seven days.
It envelops the entire Divine Capital in a misty aura, creating a sense of ethereal rain after it falls, having quite a few touches of the Jiangnan atmosphere.
The death of Noble Princess Consort Ji and the massacre at Little Spirit Sound Institute remained suppressed by those with intent, never spreading out.
Although under the leadership of Governor Wang Kui of the Temple Control Bureau, the Divine Capital Xuanwei and Golden Scale Forbidden Guards continued their investigations and searches.
Ultimately, there were no clues.
Although Wang Kui is convinced that it was the mysterious force of the Underworld, he could not find evidence.
The Ji Family is very angry since the death of Noble Princess Consort Ji occurred within the Ji Family Mansion, creating a significant impact.
As for the massacre at Little Spirit Sound Institute, it is entirely suppressed and not a hint leaked out.
Such an incident during the time when Empress Nian is about to host the Pan Peach Victory Meeting is not something the Imperial Court nor the Lingyin Temple wishes to spread, so they proactively suppress the news.
Inside the Qianyuan Institute.
Lv Taibai and True Martial Divine Sect Master Shi Jian sat opposite each other under the eaves, drinking tea.
The drizzle pattered on the black tiles, making a crisp sound, the charcoal stove gurgled boiling water, with emerald green tea leaves billowing within, seemingly stretching out a graceful dance in the flowing water.
The two sat chatting idly.
“Has Elder Li not come out of seclusion yet?”
Shi Jian occasionally glanced at the backyard of Qianyuan Institute, feeling a bit restless in his heart.
He wanted to inquire about the Gatling mechanism matter; Lv Taibai said it depends on what Li Che says, so Shi Jian insisted on visiting.
However, Li Che was in seclusion, not having emerged for many days.
This indeed made Shi Jian somewhat anxious.
“Sect Master Shi, I know you’re anxious, but don’t worry… Elder Li has just passed the Special Class Guest Minister assessment set by the Great Supervising Minister. I heard he received guidance from the Great Supervising Minister, which he needs to absorb and digest, this is indeed quite normal…”
“What if… Elder Li gains some insights, advancing further in the path of the Divine Sculpture, becoming a Divine Sculpture Master, our Qian Yuan Divine Sect would simply soar!”
Lv Taibai said jokingly.
Shi Jian poured himself a cup of steaming hot tea and drank it in one swallow, comforting himself to not be impatient.
Both of their eyes shifted to the courtyard.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Suddenly.
A Peach Branch burst forth with divinity.
Then, Xi Xi, with hands on her hips, her little tummy sticking out, appeared instantly, her eyes filled with a sharp light, her double pigtails seemed to want to summon thunder!
“Sect Master Master!”
Lv Taibai cast a humorous and doting look towards her.
Xi Xi’s proud nostrils seemed to want to pierce the sky!
“Emperor Xi Xi is accomplished! Successfully gathered eighteen strands of the West Queen Mother’s divinity, received an invitation, and stepped into the main banquet of the Chulong Victory Conference!”
Xi Xi, with her hands on her hips, her toes constantly rising and falling, was evidently very happy and excited inside.
Originally, with Xi Xi’s strength, achieving consecutive victories was really not difficult.
But Xi Xi didn’t want to.
Because, like her father, after seven consecutive victories, she would directly earn the qualification to participate in the main banquet of the Pan Peach Victory Meeting, and she wouldn’t be able to stay in the pre-banquet anymore.
Xi Xi was reluctant to give up the delicacies in the pre-banquet, such as clear tea, flat peaches, spirit fruits, and so forth.
Although the opponents matched were too weak, making victory too easy, thus reducing the quality of the pre-banquet delicacies offered.
But Xi Xi didn’t care, she simply didn’t want to miss out on any meal of the pre-banquet!
Therefore, Xi Xi stalled the rules, lost one match to Jin Taixui, broke the seven consecutive victories, then happily continued to match pre-banquet opponents, defeated them, and tasted the delicacies!
During this period, Xi Xi indeed encountered several not so weak opponents, and after defeating them, obtained a Black Phoenix Spirit Peach and a Chi Long Blood Peach.
Xi Xi was very sensible, did not eat them alone, packed them and brought them back to the courtyard for Zhang Ya to taste.
Although they were only ten-year peaches, when Xi Xi, like offering a treasure, presented her loot in front of Zhang Ya.
Zhang Ya only felt that she was the happiest mother in the whole world.
After breaking the rules and losing one match, Xi Xi finally completed the accumulation of eighteen strands of the West Queen Mother’s divinity and entered the main banquet.
And because of this rule-breaking, Xi Xi enjoyed eleven more pre-banquet meals!
Xi Xi’s little tummy even grew a circle bigger because of all the food!
After entering the main banquet, Xi Xi no longer needed to participate in the pre-banquet and temporarily gained a time of relaxation and rest.
She ran to Zhang Ya’s side with little pitter-patters, squatted under the eaves, accompanying Nurse Momo on the rocking chair to watch the spring water falling from the sky.
She also frequently wandered to the backyard, poking out her mischievous little head, wanting to see when her father would come out of seclusion.
…
…
The wind and rain tilted, hitting the pavilion tiles, bursting all around.
Forming a veil-like haze, shrouding the noble garden within the Third Prince Mansion.
Gurgle gurgle—
The boiling water within the heated stove rolled uncontrollably.
The Third Prince, wearing a light golden python robe, sits calmly on the intricately carved stone chair, before him, the desk is covered with letters.
The letters are scribbled and altered, drawn and redrawn, all relating to information about the Underworld.
The Qintian Treasure Pearl calculated by the Great Supervising Minister revealed to the Third Prince who the true murderer of Noble Princess Consort Ji was.
The Third Prince never doubted the calculative ability of the Great Supervising Minister.
Reputed as the world’s first Divine Calculator, possessing Divine Power Repeated Pupils, capable of probing heavenly secrets, seeing what is unseen by others.
