"Prince!"

Xie Yan's face was full of worry as he tried to persuade her again, but he was interrupted by her unhappy look.

Xie Yan lowered his head and followed the order, turning to leave.

"Your highness?" Long Bi was startled.

The hand that was grooming Su Xia Yue paused on top of the pearl hairpin for a long time in confusion. Only after recovering from her shock did she continue to comb and tidy up Su Xia Yue's makeup. However, his movements were no longer as calm and meticulous as before.

Su Xia Yue suddenly extended his hand and took the comb from Long Bi's hands.

"If you want to return to Nan Gong Ling Yun's side, go. You originally only followed orders to come to my side."

"Eldest Miss" Long Bi's face revealed the pain of choosing something.

Su Xia Yue did not speak anymore. After a moment of thought, he turned and walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Xia Yue shook her head and chuckled, looks like Nan Gong Ling Yun's charm was still slightly higher than hers.

Su Xia Yue was not disappointed. When her gaze touched the puppet on the corner of the dressing table, her originally relaxed expression immediately turned sinister.

At this moment, the face of the perfectly fine puppet had also turned blurry, and its clothes had been torn. The small words carved on the bottom of the puppet's body could no longer be read. Seeing this, if Su Qing had seen it, he would have thought that he had underestimated her gift.

Thinking of this, Su Xia Yue clenched his teeth in hatred.

Ye Fan Hua! If you make these cuts on the puppet, I will definitely ask you for them back in the future!

"Eldest Miss!"

Long Bi did not know why he returned.

Su Xia Yue turned his head to look at Long Bi, his eyes revealing a look of puzzlement.

"I have already reported my intentions to Your Highness, and Your Majesty has already agreed. From today onwards, Long Bi will be Big Miss's man, and your death will be Big Miss's ghost! Long Bi will always be by the side of the young miss.

"…"

Su Xia Yue paused for a moment, his gaze swept over Long Bi's body, sizing him up. In the end, she lightly nodded her head and decided to accept her as a trusted aide.

Receiving Su Xia Yue's acknowledgement, Long Bi was overjoyed.

After laughing for a while, Long Bi suddenly thought of something serious, and anxiously said to Su Xia Yue: "Young miss, Your Excellency asked me to bring you somewhere, he said that he wanted to introduce someone to you, and guaranteed that you won't regret it."

"You!" Su Xia Yue shook his head lightly, "I'm practically a pigeon running between Nan Gong Ling Yun and me."

"Eldest Miss, don't worry, Long Bi will never do anything that would let Eldest Miss down! As for your lord, Long Bi believes that he will not do anything that would let the young miss down! " Long Bi very seriously raised three of his fingers and swore to the heavens.

This inexplicable oath actually seemed like a kind of hidden confession, which caught Su Xia Yue off guard.

Would Nan Gong Ling Yun betray him?

Lu Yao knew his place, and he had seen the heart of the people for a long time.

She still needed time to observe, and he needed time to gain experience.

"Creak."

Long Bi opened the door for Su Xia Yue and led her from the courtyard's back door to the pavilion at the back of the mountain last night.

The sky was clear and a cool breeze blew gently. The fragrance of the summer flowers was mixed in with the air, causing one to feel refreshed and exceptionally relaxed.

A few steps away, there was a tall, white stone pavilion in the shade. Inside the pavilion, two people sat by a stone table, talking and laughing. Whether it's the voice or the back, I can distinguish that one is Nan Gong Ling Yun, and the other is an old man over the age of thirty.

"Ha ha-ha ha, good good good. Hearing what you just said, this old man couldn't wait to meet this talented little girl."

"Don't worry Haojiao. He will absolutely not disappoint you."

When Su Xia Yue was near the pavilion, he heard two sentences. He felt that it was Nan Gong Ling Yun introducing her to this old man.

Looking up, this old man was about sixty to seventy years old. His hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white. There were many ravines on her face, but she did not look old. Her eyes, especially, were bright and lively. She looked even more spirited than her father. Although he was very old, he was still very straight. He wore a voluminous white apothecary robe. There wasn't an apothecary emblem of any tier on his shirt, and there was only a bottle gourd hanging from it.

This mysterious old man must have a great background!

When he looked closer, Su Xia Yue could see a faint purple aura around the mysterious old man's body. Usually, only Wuying Stage experts would have such an abnormal phenomenon.

Su Xia Yue thought that this old man was very mysterious. When the old man saw Su Xia Yue, his eyes lit up.

"This girl's aptitude is not bad. Slaughtering Dawn, the person you've introduced is indeed not wrong!" The old man turned around and smiled at Nan Gong Ling Yun.

Nan Gong Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

"Breaking Dawn?" Su Xia Yue looked at Nan Gong Ling Yun with doubt in his eyes, "How many names do you actually have?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun didn't try to conceal anything and directly answered Su Xia Yue: "Slaughtering the Dawn is my word, Nan Gong Ling Yun is my name."

Su Xia Yue finally understood.

Without waiting for the two of them to continue their discussion, the old man had already impatiently led Su Xia Yue to a stone table at the side and sat down.

"Little girl, which elder are you under now?"

"Elder Xiao Sa."

"What did you say?" If you possess such aptitude, wouldn't it be a pity to go to the Beast Refining Pill? "

"I'm not the only one who's going to concoct the Beast Pill because I already have the pill manuals, spirit pills, and poison pills. I don't need to be under anyone's tutelage anymore."

"Little girl, you talk too much!" The elder frowned slightly, his face revealing a suspicious look, "But words have no basis. What evidence do you have to prove that you are already without a teacher?"

Without saying a word, Su Xia Yue took out both the « Annihilation Poison Scripture » and the « Purple Veined Pill Scripture » from his spatial ring, and waved it in front of the grey-robed elder's eyes.

"There is also another 'Red Feather Dan Meridian' book. I have recorded all of its contents. The book has already been burnt by me." Su Xia Yue explained.

When he said that, the grey robed elder immediately revealed a surprised expression, and looked at Su Xia Yue in a daze.

"So you're saying, you're already a Spiritual Grade Alchemist?"
