Huangxiu

Chapter 243 Proposal
In her original imagination, Yaoyue Palace was a serious, harsh, cold, ruthless and suffocating place.

But the reality is that the scenery here is beautiful, there are fun pets, friendly fellow disciples, kind and interesting elders, and powerful martial arts that can keep your face young forever.

No wonder the master has resentment towards the sect and wants to come back day and night.

Maybe it's because life here is too interesting and life is too carefree.

Compared to here, the palace is really like a cage.

The two girls in white were a little shy and stepped forward to greet him.

One is Ji Mingzhu and the other is Xu Lingzhi.

They are all disciples of Yaoyue Palace, and are the most authentic disciples of Yaoyue Palace.

They were extremely curious about Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue.

Xiao Ruoling is a disciple of Queen Xigong. She has been living in Yujing for many years and has never come to Yaoyue Palace.

Once you come to Yaoyue Palace, you can't go back to Yujing.

Unless you get married, like Empress Xigong did.

Shen Hanyue's life experience is even more bizarre. She is the daughter of a disciple of Yaoyue Palace. She has been practicing in silence until someone appeared to compete for the Saint.

The uncle-master Yao Yuegong fell in love and got married, but unfortunately she married the wrong person, a heartless man.

She ignored the advice of her fellow sisters, who all said she would not get married. She believed that once her martial arts skills were gone, her face would age immediately and no man would like her.

But she felt that this man was different, so she married him without hesitation. However, as her fellow clansmen had said, the unfaithful man could not bear it and ran away.

She had no face to return to the sect.

After inviting Moon Palace disciples out, they often do not reveal their identities.

No one knew about inviting Moon Palace disciples to marry.

She raised her daughter alone and taught her the unique skills of Yaoyue Palace.

Without the cultivation resources within the sect, Shen Hanyue was able to reach innate perfection at a young age. He is truly a genius.

Among the four, Xiao Ruoling has mastered the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Skill and has the best aptitude. Shen Hanyue should be the second in aptitude. The other two are far behind and have little hope.

To participate in the competition for the Saint is just to make up the numbers. Four are required each time. It would look bad if the number is not enough.

Yun Qiuhua said, "Well, you all know each other now. You are all sisters from the same clan. Don't make yourself uncomfortable because of a quarrel over the Saint Girl."

"Yes."

"Here, these are the Four Saints Heart-Protecting Pills, used to save lives." Yun Qiuhua handed them four small jade bottles.

Xiao Ruoling took it, opened it and found a total of five small pills, about the size of red beans.

"If you are really injured or in danger of death, take one of these. It will keep you going for a quarter of an hour. Send a signal immediately."

She then handed them eight small bamboo tubes, two for each person and one extra to prevent them from losing them.

"The secret place is full of dangers. I'm telling you, never use your experience from the outside world in the secret place. Most of the flowers, plants, trees, birds, fish, insects and animals outside are pleasing to the eye, but they are extremely dangerous in the secret place."

"Yes."

"Also, don't eat anything in the secret place, no matter if it's natural treasures or exotic flowers and fruits, no matter how beautiful or tempting they are, you can't eat them."

“Is it poisonous?”

"It's okay if it's just poisonous," Yun Qiuhua said, "but I'm afraid it's not poisonous, but there are a lot of strange and troublesome things... In short, don't eat anything carelessly. We have too many elixirs in our sect. We can use all the natural treasures to make elixirs, which are safer and more effective."

"Yes."

"Well... that's fine. Once you're inside, there's danger all the time. Be careful. If things don't work, take the elixir and send a signal. The Saint will come to save you."

"Elder, the Saint is...?" Xiao Ruoling asked.

The previous Saint is about to step down, and the four of them will take over her position.

Yun Qiuhua said: "The Saint is already in the secret place, waiting to save you."

She then pointed at the beautiful woman and said with a smile, "I haven't introduced her to you yet, have I? This is the Palace Master."

The gentle lady glared at her unhappily: "It's all your fault. You came up and started talking nonsense. It's a pity that you still remembered me."

She then introduced their respective identities to Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue.

She is Palace Master Jing Xiaodie.

The rest were elders, and the three younger ones spoke very little, they were all former saints.

The remaining six women, including the Palace Master, have never been saints, but have achieved great success through practice.

The disciples of Yaoyue Palace are often free from worries, and are at ease. Their skills are also magical, so it is not difficult for them to become masters.

Yun Qiuhua comforted the four girls: "The first time you enter the secret place is the most dangerous. The next time you go in, it won't be so dangerous with the aura of the secret place."

Shen Hanyue looked at Xu Lingzhi and Ji Mingzhu.

"They both went in before," Yun Qiuhua said with a smile, "so you two are at a disadvantage."

Shen Hanyue immediately looked aggrieved.

Yun Qiuhua smiled and said, "But precisely because they have been in there before, their chances of receiving the inheritance are even smaller. The key lies in you two."

Shen Hanyue suddenly perked up.

Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled: "Elder Yun, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"No, it depends on your luck. Let's go in." She smiled and shook her head, then walked forward with Xiao Ruoling and the other three girls.

Xiao Ruoling watched her walk forward, towards the edge of the cliff. She was getting closer and closer to the cliff, and was about to take a step into empty air and fall down.

She just stretched out her hand to speak, but saw Yun Qiuhua suddenly disappear without a trace.

Ji Mingzhu smiled and then stepped out of the cliff. Xu Lingzhi said with a smile: "This is the way to enter the secret place."

Shen Hanyue sighed and hurriedly followed him in.

Xiao Ruoling looked around.

The entrance is here, so what about the exit? If it is also here, I will fall down if I am not careful.

However, they all possess top-notch martial arts skills, so they are not afraid.

She turned around and saluted to the grand masters, and after they waved their hands, she turned and walked out.

……

My eyes suddenly lit up and I instantly found myself in a dense forest.

The towering ancient trees are much more wild and dense than those outside, and I seem to become insignificant all of a sudden.

She could no longer see anyone else and knew that she had to walk alone from now on until she found the Xuanyin Palace.

She closed her eyes and sensed carefully.

After a moment, she opened her eyes. She already had a vague feeling that somewhere was calling her.

She felt at ease.

It seems that God is on my side.

Is it because of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's Kung Fu?
No wonder Master is so confident.

She dodged the little squirrel that was flying towards her, and her body turned into a wisp of smoke, moving lightly among the ancient trees.

The sword flashed from time to time, killing birds, beasts, flying insects and the like that attacked him.

She was not influenced by the warmth of Yue Palace and did not show kindness to the birds and animals around her.

She knew from her master Zeng Yuan that she must not be merciful in the secret realm, as it was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.

The softer you are, the more monsters will attack you.

Yaoyue Palace is beautiful, but its secret place is still dangerous.

Her swordsmanship and martial arts skills are superb, and nothing can stop her progress. The only time she stops is because of the Tongtian Grass.

From time to time, I would pick two stalks of clematis from under the huge flowers.

Apart from that, he did not stop anywhere else and arrived at the palace that summoned him in one breath.

Standing in front of this white jade palace, she suddenly felt that the palace built by Yaoyue Palace outside was like a toy.

The white jade palace before me is three times the size of the Yaoyue Palace. It is so vast and magnificent that I suddenly want to worship it.

The wall of the palace seemed like a whole piece of huge white jade, without any traces of splicing, making her unable to understand how there could be such a huge piece of white jade in the world.

Various strange patterns are carved on the white jade, which are spread all over the White Jade Palace.

The two white jade doors of the palace were closed.

There is a rare flower carved on each of the two white jade doors.

At first glance it seems to be in bloom, but upon closer inspection it is not moving.

Above the flowers, a bright moon was half covered by dark clouds, emitting soft moonlight that illuminated the exotic flowers.

The bright moon seemed to be passing through dark clouds, but if you looked closely, it was still not moving.

She looked for a few seconds and felt a little dizzy. She shook her head quickly, forced herself to look away, and looked up at the sky.

The setting sun, like a fireball, was hanging obliquely in the western sky, hanging on the top of the towering peak, and it might fall at any time.

Xuanyin Palace opens at midnight.

It will take some time before it opens.

She looked down at the Xiaohan jade box in her sleeve, and when she opened it, there were already fifteen stalks of Tongtian grass inside.

I couldn't help but smile.

Just as I was thinking about how happy Chu Zhiyuan would be when he saw this, I suddenly heard the sound of fluttering clothes.

Looking up, Shen Hanyue was floating towards me.

Compared to Xiao Ruoling's spotless appearance, she looked a little disheveled.

There were a few brown spots on the front of the white collar, green grass juice on the left shoulder, and some dust on the knees.

Seeing Xiao Ruoling was already here, Shen Hanyue came closer, clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "Senior Sister Xiao, please teach me!"

Xiao Ruoling said: "Junior Sister Shen, don't be anxious."

Shen Hanyue blinked her bright eyes in confusion and held the sword with her small hand.

"Junior Sister Shen," Xiao Ruoling said, "Master and the elders all said that only one person will get the inheritance after a decisive battle. Junior Sister Shen, have you ever thought about it, what if we both go in together?"

Shen Hanyue was at a loss.

She had never thought about it.

The winner will enter Xuanyin Palace to obtain the Taiyin Great Refining Form inheritance and become the Holy Maiden of Yaoyue Palace.

This seems to be an established rule.

I never thought there was anything wrong with this rule.

"We might as well go in together and see if we can both obtain the inheritance."

"Isn't this okay?"

"Why not?"

"…It's against the rules."

"At best, neither of us can become a saint."

"This……"

"Junior Sister Shen, I may not be your opponent."

Shen Hanyue blinked her big eyes.

She doesn't think so.

I am not a fool. This is just Sister Xiao being modest.

Look at her, then look at yourself, and then see how early she came and how late you came.

Could it be that the monsters in the secret place like her and not me, so they attack me instead of her?

It's simply impossible.

These monsters are very smart. They bully the weak and fear the strong. Senior Sister Xiao is obviously stronger than himself!

"Want to give it a try?"

"..." Shen Hanyue's bright eyes blinked, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

For a moment, I thought of my elderly mother's earnest expectations. She had taken care of me and taught me with great difficulty for so many years, just wanting me to make a name for myself and wash away her shame.

After a while, he looked into Xiao Ruoling's deep and misty eyes, which were full of friendliness and smiles.

"No way?" Xiao Ruoling said disappointedly: "If we both become saints, then you will be the saint, and I can just have a title, or even quit directly."

This was a sudden flash of inspiration that came to her mind.

If there are two saints, it would be much easier for one to withdraw, and maybe she could just withdraw directly.

Not only did she gain the title of Saint, she fulfilled her master's long-cherished wish, as well as the prince's dream, and she could return to Yujing at any time.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not?
