C48

In a remote bamboo house at the outskirts of the capital of Qiao Country.

Beside him was a man wearing a silver fox mask. His eyes were closed and his entire body was covered in blood. Even though he was wearing a mask, one could still feel his depressed and pale face.

She suddenly let out a bitter laugh. She knew that the enmity between the Palace Master and the Demon Lord was irreconcilable, but for the sake of that idiot, the Palace Master had once again ventured into the Demon Palace to face danger. Just what did that idiot Emperor want, to be willing to sacrifice his life to save her!

Perhaps it was because her elder sister, Huaxi, was the same as her sister, who had feelings for the Asgard Mistress, but unlike her elder sister, Huaxu Xi's heart was different. Perhaps it was because the Asgard Mistress had feelings for Hua Xi, too, so after Hua Xi's death, she was willing to take care of her. She had followed the Asgard Mistress for three years, and her arrogance and willfulness had become even more unreasonable in the Pure End Palace.

Every time she thought about Qiao Yifan, Hua BaiNing's deep eyes would turn bloodthirsty and brutal. She would ignore Hua Xi's last words and ruthlessly chase her out of the extermination palace, including Qiao Yifan's head. This time, the internal injuries of the technique were severe, and she would not be able to wake up, so it was completely related to her.

Her face was so pale that it was completely devoid of blood, as she lowered her head, the darkness in her eyes immediately softened, and she slowly extended her hand, attaching it to the glowing fox mask. All these years, she had loved the Mistress of the Palace, but she had never seen her true appearance, regardless of how the person under the mask was, her emotions would never change, and she could not help but feel a little more curious about the appearance of the person under the mask. She really wanted to know what the usually cold and noble Mistress looked like.

With a slight flick of his finger, the silver mask slowly moved up. Suddenly, his finger moved and a light cough followed.

"Cough cough …"

"My Lord!" Hua Bai Ning's fingers stiffened and she immediately knelt on the ground, feeling vexed. How could she possibly blaspheme against the supreme Palace Master in her heart?

"Hua Bai Ning?" Nie Li slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the girl in front of him, he cried out in surprise.

"Yes, subordinate." Hua Bai Ning nodded.

He looked around at his surroundings and slowly got up.

"My Lord, your old injuries have yet to heal and you've also been treated with new ones. Right now, you have even been poisoned. Although this subordinate has cleared the poison out for you, your body still needs to rest and recuperate." Hua Bai Ning stood up, wanting to help Bai Ning up, but was coldly rejected by Bai Ning.

Hua Bai Ning's arm was frozen in mid-air as she watched Death Spell stand up and walk out of the house.

"Master, where are you going?" Hua Bai Ning chased after him.

"Return to the Supreme Purging Palace." His tone was light, but it wasn't hard to hear the weakness in his tone.

"My Lord, this place is the base of the Hidden Sky Mountain, a long way from the capital. Your Lord, your body has not recovered, and I fear that it will be difficult to return to the Pure End Palace." Hua Bai Ning said anxiously.

"No problem." Refusing coldly, Nie Tian continued to walk forward.

"My Lord!" Hua Bai Ning jumped up and stood in front of the technique, stretching out her arms, blocking the technique. "Master, you should focus on your body, the immortal qi is gathering here, it's peaceful and without worry, it's a good place for you to recuperate, after your body recuperates, it's not too late to go back."

"Get out of the way." There was a hint of unhappiness in his tone.

"My Lord …"

"You have already left the Pure End Palace and this sovereign is no longer your master. You should do your best in the future." The technique coldly interrupted Hua Bai Ning's next words of persuasion.

"Master, you … Have you forgotten your sister? " Xiao Bai's eyes flickered with tears as he roared at Nie Li.

Sure enough, when he mentioned the flower, Ku Fu's clear and cold eyes slightly flickered.

"This time you colluded with the Demon Palace and used the daughter of the Luo Family to poison Qiao Yifan twice. This sovereign didn't take your life and is already repaying Hua Xi for her past love. Moreover, this sovereign owes Hua Xi and it has nothing to do with you."

Hua Bai Ning's body trembled slightly. He said that he and his sister had nothing to do with her … None of this has anything to do with me …

Bai Ning looked at him for a while. Then, without a moment of hesitation, she walked past Bai Ning's tottering body and headed out of the bamboo forest.

Hua Bai Ning tightly bit her lips. She could feel that the temperature of the man before her was no longer hot. She slowly bent her knees and curled up into a ball, as tears uncontrollably flowed out from the corners of her eyes, wetting her white clothes.

At this moment, within the palace, Qiao Qiao was still recovering from a serious illness. He immediately summoned Yan Mo Chen to the palace, but who would have thought that Yan Mu would actually personally enter the palace to report that the Regent had avoided his guest.

Qiao still frowned but didn't say anything. Yan Mu stood in the inner hall of the palace, not knowing if he should leave or stay.

"Since Imperial Uncle isn't willing to see me, then forget it. Go back and report this."

When Yan Mu thought that Qiao was still going to fly into a rage and bring disaster upon him, he didn't expect that Qiao would still calmly say such words.

"Yes." Yan Mu nodded slightly before turning around and retreating.

"Xiyue, what do you think the royal uncle is plotting?" Qiao Qiao asked the nearby Xiyue as if he was still talking to himself.

"Return to the emperor, forgive this servant for her foolishness, but I can't guess what Your Highness is thinking." Xiyue replied honestly.

"Mm, I can't guess either. If he had the throne of the Emperor in his heart, he could have taken it when I was unconscious, but he chose to avoid me. If he didn't have the throne of the Emperor and kept suppressing my prestige, why is that?" Joe was still muttering to himself.

She Yue stood to the side and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to the Emperor.

"Tell me, how did Yan Mo Chen get retrieved by my Royal Grandfather?" Joe asked.

Returning to the emperor, this matter spread like wildfire throughout the country of Qiao. It was said that the family of the Regent were loyal to the imperial court, but were framed by a traitor, and in one night, hundreds of people from the Yan family died, leaving only the Regent alive. After this matter, all the old officials who were involved in this matter returned to their hometowns, and the late emperor ordered for the Yan family to be forbidden from mentioning this matter. Xiyue reported.

"What?" "Several hundred people died in one night?" Who could have done such a thing?

"Yes, I heard the rumors were true, but I think there must be some exaggeration in this. Who would have the ability to slaughter a mansion overnight?" Xiyue nodded.

"Rumor has it that there's never been any groundless rumors. It seems like there's something fishy going on here. Xiyue, send a message to Qingwu and have her secretly investigate the Yan Clan's past." Qiao Qiao was still frowning as he spoke to Xiyue.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiyue bowed in response.
