After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

However, in the next moment, Lin Xian'er suddenly heard Xie Qijun's words floating into her ears.

He pleaded pitifully, "Master, I dare to ask to stay in the palace for a few more days. To be honest, I only want to find the jade pendant left by my mother, because it is the only wish she gave me. Master, could you lend me a hand?"

(⊙o⊙)...Hearing these pitiful, almost pleading words, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but stop and slowly turned her head.

In an instant, there was a hissing sound and a gasp of cold air—Oh my God! The scene before me was truly too shocking.

Xie Qijun was staring at her like a puppy wagging its tail and begging for mercy, his eyes full of flattery and pleading.

At this moment, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt: Oh my God, what did I do wrong? Why did I let this man become like this? Please let the police punish me for my sins, and don't let him continue to look at me in this unbearable way.

This scene was so fucking impactful, as if a bolt of thunder struck her heart directly.

Help him, help him, help him... These two words seemed to have magic power, constantly circling and flashing in Lin Xian'er's mind.

Her bright and clear eyes were slightly distracted, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and she blurted out involuntarily, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qijun's face beside him immediately broke into an ecstatic smile.

He swiftly and gracefully bowed, clasping his hands above his head. With the utmost respect, he said, "Thank you, Master, for your help! You are truly the best and kindest person in the world. I am truly fortunate to receive such love and support. I will redouble my efforts in cultivation and will never let you down."

Instantly, Lin Xian'er screamed frantically in her heart, "I've been cheated, I've been tricked, I've been scammed..."

[Hey, host, I didn't expect you to be such a face-chaser. ]

[No, I'm not. You're wronging me. I was just careless and got tricked by this cunning guy. He's really worthy of being the male protagonist. He's very cunning.]

I am a monk, I am a nun. Without desire, there is no worry. Without seeking, there is no anxiety. My mind is clear and I am free as the wind.

Seeing that Lin Xian'er's thoughts were jumping too fast, Xie Qijun was worried that if he waited any longer, she would become a monk and ascend to heaven. "Master, let's go back to Shou'an Palace first."

Oh~, Lin Xian'er nodded calmly and walked back in a haughty manner, [Heh, little hero, how could I, Lin Xian'er, not be able to control you? Grandson, don't try to fool me.]

[Host, you're amazing! This male protagonist is nothing but scum in front of you. Let's torture him to death, and occasionally show him a little favor. Host, do you also think so? Paralyze the male protagonist and wait for the opportunity to overwhelm him in the future.]

[Hmm.] Lin Xian'er, like a proud peacock, instantly raised her head and chest, proudly striding forward with light steps, as if the whole world was at her feet. Hmm, hmm, that's it.

Xie Qijun behind her was like a loyal knight, following Lin Xian'er silently, looking at her with eyes full of doting. She was everything in his life.

When Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun returned to Shou'an Palace with light steps, a strong wind suddenly blew in the originally quiet and peaceful palace.

Qi Miao was like a flash of lightning across the sky, and like a whirlwind rushing towards them, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of them.

Before the two of them could gain a firm footing, Qi Miao couldn't wait to ask, "How are you? Are you injured? What happened? What should we do next?"

He looked so anxious as if the end of the world was coming.

At this moment, Qi Miao had a strong premonition in his heart. He felt that these two people would definitely cause a huge upheaval in the palace. This time, Qi Miao had no intention of backing down.

On the contrary, a raging fire was burning in his heart, and he was ready to fight to the death.

"Come on! Let this storm come even harder! No matter what difficulties and obstacles are waiting for me ahead, I am not afraid and will definitely get through it! Because I firmly believe that I am the strongest!" Qi Miao clenched his fists tightly and secretly encouraged himself.

Looking at Qi Miao, who looked like a soldier about to go to the battlefield, Lin Xian'er couldn't help feeling speechless.

She shook her head helplessly, wondering if this guy was too nervous.

In fact, she didn't want to cause any big trouble at all. She just wanted to help Xie Qijun find the lost jade pendant.

So, Lin Xian'er patted Qi Miao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, don't be so excited. It's nothing serious. Just go to bed."

Hearing this, Qi Miao was struck by lightning. He was instantly stunned. The expression on his face was like a chameleon, and the firmness and courage just now instantly turned into dull and confused.

[Host, you tease him like this, so be careful. If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence.]

Lin Xian'er didn't want to tease Qi Miao, but being in this place was like being in a cage. She felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable, like a trapped bird. In order to ease her mood a little, she could only let Qi Miao make some small sacrifices.

Qi Miao glanced at Lin Xian'er with a resentful look on his face. This guy was really too much. Woo woo woo, his longing for Xixi became stronger and stronger.

After a long while, Xie Qijun finally spoke, "Master, should we take action tonight? Should we go and search?"

Qi Miao's eyes twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "As expected, huh, I still don't tell him whether we are friends, partners, or companions."

Lin Xian'er pondered for a moment before softly saying, "In my opinion, we should first go to the Emperor's study and investigate. It's a heavily guarded place, and generally speaking, people tend to hide important items where they believe they are most secure and reliable. I believe your mother's closest friend back then was undoubtedly the Emperor. So, why not explore a bit and see if we can find some clues or discoveries? What do you think?"

Xie Qijun nodded without hesitation and said, "Master, everything is up to you. I will follow your teachings," even though he had already known the whereabouts of the jade pendant through Lin Xian'er's thoughts.

Seeing Xie Qijun agree so readily, Lin Xianer couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She was worried that she would need to spend a lot of time and effort to convince Xie Qijun.

After all, before this, Xie Qijun had always believed that the jade pendant he was looking for was in the hands of Concubine Duan. Now this situation made Lin Xian'er a little confused for a moment.
