We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 290: Yes, I Really Hate Him So Much!
The next morning, at the National Preceptor’s Residence in the Zhou Kingdom’s imperial palace.
Jiang Qingyi slowly opened her eyes.
The woman sat up from the bed, a strand of hair sliding across her fair cheek.
Looking at the window, the woman’s initially drowsy eyes gradually became clear.
Getting out of bed and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Jiang Qingyi washed up simply before walking out of her room.
Sitting in the courtyard, just like usual, she enjoyed the spring breeze and raised her head to gaze at the sky in a daze.
In the National Preceptor’s Residence, there was not a single palace maid serving Jiang Qingyi, mainly because Jiang Qingyi preferred to be alone.
Whether at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or in the National Preceptor’s Residence, Jiang Qingyi would often sit for an entire day. However, after coming to the Zhou Kingdom’s imperial palace, Jiang Qingyi would frequently stroll around the palace.
When he practiced swordsmanship, Jiang Qingyi would go to the Dao Inquiry Platform and often watch from the side.
Just like three thousand years ago, when he watched her practice swordsmanship.
The only difference was that three thousand years had passed, and she and he were no longer master and disciple.
“Sect Master, you summoned this servant…”
Just as Jiang Qingyi’s thoughts kept drifting away, sword attendant Qiu Ye came to the woman’s side and bowed respectfully while holding her sword.
Qiu Ye had been summoned by Jiang Qingyi today.
“Mm.”
Jiang Qingyi nodded and slowly spoke.
“If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhou Kingdom’s empress enthronement ceremony will not be held for the time being. You and Elder Huang have no use staying here, so you two should return first.
Over these thousand years, you have always followed me, and many affairs of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have been handled by you.
After returning, you shall act in my stead as the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
All affairs shall be managed by you. If there are any major matters where you are uncertain, then come find me.”
Qiu Ye lowered her head, silent.
“What is it? Do you have any questions?” Jiang Qingyi turned her head to look at Qiu Ye.
Qiu Ye organized her words, bit her red lips, and slowly spoke, “Will Sect Master truly not return to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”
“There are two women who are quite troublesome, so I won’t be returning for now.” Jiang Qingyi shook her head.
“Women that even Sect Master finds troublesome?” Qiu Ye said in surprise.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.” Jiang Qingyi glanced at Qiu Ye. “Furthermore, after you return to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect this time, you still need to help me with three matters.”
“Please speak, Sect Master. This servant will certainly do her utmost.”
“The first matter, I need a Three Lives Three Worlds Pill. This pill can only be refined by the Nine-Tailed Kingdom of the Demon Realm. You go find the Nine-Tailed Kingdom’s ruler. Whatever conditions she offers, if you can fulfill them, then do so. If you cannot, send me a message by flying sword and I will resolve it. Have you remembered?”
“This servant has remembered.”
Qiu Ye nodded. However, Qiu Ye was muttering in her heart. Her small hands gripped her sleeves, and her lowered eyes shifted left and right, appearing as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Although Qiu Ye was a sword attendant, after following Jiang Qingyi all these years, her perspective was no less than that of ordinary people.
This Three Lives Three Worlds Pill could awaken all of a person’s memories from three lives and three worlds.
The question was, whose memories did Sect Master want to awaken?
Could it be the Zhou Kingdom’s ruler?
The more she thought about it, the more Qiu Ye felt it was possible.
After all, Sect Master treated the Zhou Kingdom’s emperor so well, even voluntarily entering the palace to become the National Preceptor.
Sect Master had even given him a sword she personally forged!
But just who was the Zhou Kingdom’s ruler to Sect Master?
Was he that important to Sect Master?
“The second matter, go help me collect all the historical accounts about the Lord of the Four Seas, Bai Ruxue. Whether official histories or unofficial records, I want them all.”
Jiang Qingyi continued speaking.
“The last matter, I remember seeing a record in an ancient text. Legend has it that during the two hundred thousand years after the Ancient Era, all human emperors could cultivate.
Those two hundred thousand years were called the Human Emperor Era of Prosperity.
At that time, there was an ancient kingdom also called the Qin Kingdom.
Ancient Qin Kingdom produced an empress who thoroughly ended the Human Emperor period. After her, human emperors could no longer cultivate.
You go find all the legendary accounts about that empress and compile them for me.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
Although Qiu Ye did not know why Sect Master wanted the historical records of the Lord of the Four Seas and the legends of the ancient Qin Kingdom empress, she could only comply.
“Alright, go.” Jiang Qingyi said lightly.
“Qiu Ye will certainly not fail Sect Master’s trust!” Qiu Ye bowed deeply, looked at Sect Master reluctantly, then turned and left.
After Qiu Ye left, Jiang Qingyi continued sitting.
She looked toward the direction of the Dao Inquiry Platform and discovered that Xiao Mo was not practicing swordsmanship today. She did not know what he was doing.
He had promised to give her an osmanthus cake, but noon had passed and he still had not sent it over.
Unknowingly, the sun gradually moved westward, the evening glow faded, night fell, and Xiao Mo still had not come.
“Hmph! Men!”
Just when Jiang Qingyi was already full of anger and about to go find Xiao Mo to ask why he broke his word, the gate of the National Preceptor’s Residence was knocked.
“Enter!”
Jiang Qingyi called toward the gate, her tone carrying displeasure.
The residence gate opened.
Wei Xun respectfully handed a box the size of a millstone and a jar of wine to his majesty.
After Xiao Mo walked into the National Preceptor’s Residence, Wei Xun quickly closed the door and walked away, not daring to disturb them.
“I thought His Majesty had forgotten.” Jiang Qingyi turned her head to the side.
Knowing that Fairy Jiang might be angry, Xiao Mo smiled and said, “Since I promised Fairy Jiang, naturally I could not forget. It’s just that the osmanthus cake to give to Fairy Jiang could not be ordinary, so it took a bit longer. Please forgive me, Fairy.”
“What makes it different?”
Jiang Qingyi still did not turn her head but in reality, the moment Xiao Mo walked into the courtyard, half of the anger in the woman’s heart had inexplicably dissipated.
“I invited the most famous pastry chef in the imperial capital to personally teach me how to make it.” Xiao Mo smiled, cut a piece for Jiang Qingyi, “Would Fairy like to try it?”
“It must taste terrible.” Although Jiang Qingyi said this, she still accepted the osmanthus cake and gently took a bite.
“How is it?” Xiao Mo asked.
“Terrible.”
Jiang Qingyi turned her head away as she spoke.
Xiao Mo was speechless.
“However, it’s barely edible.” Jiang Qingyi took another bite.
Seeing her saying one thing but meaning another, Xiao Mo smiled, poured her a cup of wine, and sat down beside her himself.
The two just ate osmanthus cake and drank wine like this, gazing at the stars filling the sky.
Although the two did not exchange many words, they did not feel the slightest awkwardness.
“Does Miss Jiang really like eating osmanthus cakes?” After a long while, Xiao Mo asked curiously.
“I don’t like eating them.” Jiang Qingyi said. “But there is someone who likes eating them. I ate them along with that person and gradually got used to it.”
“What kind of person is this friend of Fairy Jiang?” Xiao Mo sought topics to discuss.
“This person often disregards appearances, cannot even take care of themselves, and always thinks of others, never considering themselves. Moreover, they are a liar, the biggest liar in this world.”
“Does Fairy Jiang dislike him?”
“Dislike him…”
Jiang Qingyi looked at the stars in the night sky, her eyes gently rippling.
After a long time, the woman withdrew her gaze and turned her head, looking directly into Xiao Mo’s eyes.
“Yes, I really hate him so much!”
