"Sister Xiyue, is this where you live?"

In the evening, Xiao Yuan made a promise in front of Bai Hexian, Nangong Wan and the seven Soul-Clearing Realm elders of Xianyun Sect that he would reach the Divine Realm within ten years, otherwise he would never see Xiao Xiyue again. Finally, he got the right to talk to Xiao Xiyue for a while.

The main gate of Xianyun Sect is located at Xianyun Peak. A large Xianyun formation covers hundreds of peaks, which are connected by floating bridges. Pavilions and towers are everywhere on the peaks, and various spiritual plants are planted at the foot of the mountains. A river emitting faint spiritual energy runs through the entire Xianyun Sect, dividing it into two halves, east and west.

As the eldest sister of Xianyun Sect and a person who has reached the realm of God, Xiao Xiyue can naturally occupy a mountain to herself. It is located in the southeast, at the border of the Xianyun formation, and is called: Mingyueju.

"Yeah." Xiao Xiyue was still taciturn. Even when the two of them were alone, she was reluctant to open her delicate and rosy little mouth and say a few more words to let her childhood sweetheart listen to her heavenly voice.

Xiao Yuan didn't care much. Xiyue had never been talkative since she was a child. Even if other children bullied her, she would just look at them with her cold and bright eyes. It was not until Xiao Yuan beat up that guy that Xiyue stopped her.

"Sister Xiyue!"

Recalling his childhood memories, Xiao Yuan was a little dazed. He turned his head to look at the person next to him. When he saw her cold and holy face and her lips pursed without saying a word, Xiao Yuan felt as if he was in another world.

"?" Xiao Xiyue looked at him, with a hint of doubt in her bright eyes.

"I like you!

Xiao Yuan was unable to utter these three words in the end. "I will reach the state of God-Exit within ten years! Believe me!"

"Well, I believe Brother Yuan." Xiao Xiyue hesitated a little, but under Xiao Yuan's gaze, she nodded slightly and said softly, "Just like before, I believe in you."

"Sister Xiyue!"

Xiao Yuan was moved and finally plucked up the courage to take the little hand of the Moon Palace Fairy beside him and held it tightly in his palm, letting his big hand completely cover Xiao Xiyue's tender and smooth little hand.

Just like when they were children, the two of them walked hand in hand on the streets of Qingzhou City, listening to the sounds of street vendors. Xiao Yuan took out a piece of silver and bought her a string of candied haws. In the end, the two of them each took a bite and shared the food.

"This guy is so shameless!"

Following the two of them were two petite, youthful beauties.

They are Xiao Xiyue's twin maids, Zhao Xiaoqing and Zhao Xiaolan. They were hinted by Nangong Wan to follow the young lady to prevent Xiao Yuan from becoming too aggressive and wanting to do something to their young lady.

After seeing that the bastard Xiao Yuan actually held the young lady's hand, the lively sister Xiaoqing couldn't help but curse in a soft voice.

Their young lady has a cold personality and isn't good at rejecting people with words. Xiao Yuan probably saw this and took the opportunity to molest her hands, right?!

"Sister, shall we go over and chase him away?"

"No, no, let's not do that, shall we?"

Zhao Xiaolan weakly glanced at the young lady in the distance. Under the night sky, she could vaguely see that the atmosphere of the two people walking in the garden was very sweet. The young lady had a gentle expression, and there was a kind of emotion in her eyes that Xiaolan had never seen before.

Soft, with a hint of joy and happiness.

For a young lady who prefers quietness and is like a fairy living alone in the Moon Palace, this kind of change is quite rare. Even she and her sister Xiaoqing have never seen their young lady show such an expression.

"Hmph, that guy got a good deal!" Xiao Qing muttered. She could also see that the young lady actually liked this bastard Xiao Yuan very much. Maybe... Xiao Yuan would become their husband?

——As the lady's personal maid, the lady's husband is actually their husband.

Thinking of this, the sixteen-year-old girl couldn't help but feel her heart tremble and her face felt a little hot.

"No, Xiao Yuan is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he's not even as good as us. How could he possibly be your husband?"

The more Xiaoqing looked at Xiao Yuan holding the young lady's hand in the distance, the more she felt that he was not worthy of the young lady!

But the lady just likes him.

So, Zhao Xiaoqing had no choice but to watch helplessly as the two of them walked around the garden once, twice, and then followed the stream flowing out of the pool towards the back of the mountain.

Mingyueju is located on the top of a mountain with a beautiful garden. Behind the garden is an underground spring built with magic. Sweet spring water keeps bubbling up from it. Xiaoqing usually uses it to water the flowers, and the excess flows down the river and converges into the river at the foot of the mountain.

Also because this stream is the virgin Mingyue Residence, some wretched disciples sneaked to the foot of Mingyue Mountain and secretly used some utensils to collect the spring water in it, saying that it was the spiritual spring that had been soaked in the naked jade feet of the eldest sister, and it tasted sweet and refreshing.

After Xiaoqing accidentally heard about this from some servants, her face turned black. That night, she secretly put laxatives in the spring water halfway up the mountain, causing a group of thieving disciples to defecate all night long. After being severely punished by the Punishment Hall for various reasons, no one dared to go to the back mountain of Mingyueju anymore, let alone steal the spring water used by the senior sister to wash her feet and drink it.

In fact, Xiaoqing had never seen the young lady washing her feet in the spring water. Instead, she and Xiaolan would occasionally take off their clothes and play in the stream in their underwear when the weather was hot.

That's why she got so angry!

"elder sister."

The more Xiao Qing looked at Xiao Yuan, the more unhappy she became. "Is that guy planning to take the young lady down the mountain?"

The two people in the distance followed the stream down and had already passed the secluded path and came to the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Further down, there was a lush herbal garden. There were no precious spiritual plants in it, but they were used to feed the young lady's litter of water rabbits.

"Probably... right?" Xiao Lan wasn't sure, but seeing the two people walking further and further away, they should be going down the mountain.

"Let's catch up!"

The twin maids, who looked similar, youthful and lovely, hurriedly followed closely to prevent that bastard Xiao Yuan from touching the young lady.

——

"Xiyue."

Xiao Yuan smiled gently, "Your two maids are very loyal and even afraid of me..."

"Afraid of you, what?" Xiao Xiyue asked.

Xiao Yuan didn't dare to answer. Saying dirty words in front of his beautiful sister Xiyue, who was as beautiful as a fairy from the Moon Palace, would be an insult to her.

"It's nothing, Xiyue, do you know the Immortal Emperor Qiming?" Xiao Yuan changed the subject, still holding the Fairy Xiyue's soft little hand.

"My Caifengqin is said to have been brought down from the Immortal Realm by the Immortal Emperor Qiming."

Xiao Xiyue summoned the Colorful Phoenix Harp from her sea of consciousness. The fairy harp suspended in the air emitted a faint glow, which was particularly eye-catching in the night.

She stretched out a slender finger and gently plucked the strings, causing the Caifengqin to emit a clear and pleasant sound that spread slowly in the night.

What the two of them didn't know was that the sound of the piano woke up a person who was sleeping soundly at the foot of the mountain.

"Yes, the Colorful Phoenix Qin is made of paulownia wood. Real paulownia wood is extremely rare in the mortal world. It is said that only the immortal world can afford to use paulownia wood, where the phoenix once roosted, to create a guqin."

Xiao Yuan looked at his sister Xiyue's white fingers gently plucking the strings of the piano, and his heart trembled suddenly.

This white and beautiful finger really makes people want to hold it tightly. It is best to hold it in the palm of the hand and play with it carefully to relieve the turmoil in his heart at this moment.

——Even though he had already held Sister Xiyue's little hand, he still felt unsatisfied.

"Putong wood..." Xiao Xiyue whispered, her slender fingers slowly stroking the strings, making the immortal harp emit a low hum. "The Colorful Phoenix Harp does indeed hold many secrets, and the sound it produces is very different from that of mortal guqins. This is why people speculate that it is a magical instrument passed down from the immortal realm."

"As for whether it belongs to the Immortal Emperor Qiming." After a pause, Xiao Xiyue shook her head: "I don't know."

Xiao Yuan looked at her in a daze.

Xiyue's beautiful figure is hidden in the pure white dress, and her graceful posture is looming. Her beautiful face rarely shows any emotional fluctuations, and her pair of cold eyes just look at you quietly most of the time.

Outsiders rarely see anything in her eyes, but usually they cannot refuse her, and they cannot bear to see the fairy's request being rejected.

Xiyue, just like the vision of the Moon Palace of her spiritual root, gives people a sense of brightness and purity, making people unable to help but protect her holy and cold beauty.

"Why are you looking at me again?" Xiao Xiyue's eyes were as clear and bright as ever.

If another woman said this, the man around her, no matter how dull he was, would probably say a few teasing words or even take the opportunity to tease the beauty.

But when these words came out of Xiao Xiyue's delicate and rosy little mouth, which looked like a bright peach blossom, it only made people feel her purity and beauty.

"No, nothing."

Xiao Yuan turned his head hurriedly, and his handsome face was a little red.

Xiao Xiyue did not ask any further questions and looked ahead silently.

"That's right!"

Xiao Yuan continued, "Sister Xiyue, do you know the past of Emperor Qiming?"

Xiao Xiyue shook her head, her long black hair swaying as she did so, and replied in her heavenly voice, "I don't know."

"Well..."

Xiao Yuan admitted that Sister Xiyue was very beautiful, had a good personality, and played the piano beautifully, but chatting with her would probably make anyone angry to death.

"The Qiming Immortal Emperor is the youngest immortal, and also the youngest Immortal Emperor. He is unrivaled in brilliance, eclipsing all the geniuses born in the same era as the Qiming Immortal Emperor. These people also ascended to heaven, and some even became Immortal Kings. But when the Qiming Immortal Emperor was still alive, they could only bow down to him as his subjects!"

Speaking of the deeds of this peerless Immortal Emperor, Xiao Yuan's brows were filled with yearning, and there was also a hint of pride in his heart.

Xiao Xiyue glanced at him and said nothing.

"…"

Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly. Xiyue seemed to be even more silent than when she was a child. She was not even interested in asking about such shocking secrets as the death of Emperor Qiming.

Fairy Xiyue is a fairy who is cold to the core.

"Xiyue." Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, "Do you know whether the Immortal Emperor Qiming is a man or a woman?"

Xiao Xiyue shook her head and asked, "Female?"

"Yes! The Immortal Emperor Qiming is a..." Xiao Yuan frowned and thought, finally using an adjective: "The empress who suppresses all enemies and rules the world for eternity!"

If others heard that the Immortal Emperor Qiming was actually a woman, they would probably be shocked. After all, in the billions of miles of the Jiuzhou Continent and the wild world overseas, no one has ever said, and no book has ever recorded the gender of the Immortal Emperor Qiming.

Xiao Xiyue said softly, "The word 'Qiming' doesn't sound like the title of an empress."

The two had already walked through the herb garden and came to the foot of the mountain. They stood on a hillside and looked at the clear river below the mountain. They seemed to have no intention of going any further.

"Maybe... there's something hidden."

Xiao Yuan secretly touched his brow, and deep in his sea of consciousness, there was clearly an ancient fragment.

And above this mysterious and ancient fragment, a hazy shadow is looming. If you look closely, you can barely make out that she is a woman.

A woman with her head lowered, eyes closed, hands on her knees, looking very tired.

"Just like how she killed the previous Immortal Emperor and then committed suicide a hundred years later, there must be something unknown..."

"ah!"

A cry of surprise came from not far away, shocked by the horrifying news.

"who?!"

Xiao Yuan's eyes instantly became sharp. He waved his hand and sent out a surging wave of air towards the distance. The strong wind blew up the grass and trees, and blew away an old man who was over seventy years old and dressed in linen.
