The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

While everyone was laughing and playing, they unknowingly arrived at a palace.

The palace stood majestically, its vermilion gate tightly closed, inlaid with golden rivets, gleaming brightly in the sunlight. The palace walls were tall and thick, carved with exquisite patterns, with flying dragons and phoenixes, and blooming flowers, lifelike, as if telling ancient stories.

The palace's roof is covered with golden glazed tiles, layered and arranged in an orderly manner. Auspicious beasts crouch on the ridge, looking down majestically upon the world. The palace is surrounded by white marble railings, which are also carved with various exquisite patterns, giving it a solemn and magnificent appearance.

Everyone was stunned by the palace before them and fell silent for a moment, quietly admiring this magnificent building. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint floral fragrance that was refreshing and delightful.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) whispered in Xing Xuanli's ear, "This palace looks mysterious and solemn. I wonder what secrets are hidden inside."

Xing Xuanli tilted her head slightly and chuckled, "Then let's go in and find out."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) eyes: "Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Their whispers drifted away in the breeze. An Lingyan came closer and asked curiously, "What are you whispering about?"

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) tapped her head gently: "Don't ask too many questions, kid."

An Lingyan pouted: "Humph, you only know how to bully me."

Xing Xuanli took An Lingyan's hand and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. Let's go in and take a look."

Everyone walked towards the tightly closed vermilion door, their hearts filled with curiosity and anticipation.

As the door opened, Xing Xuanli and the others walked in. Luo Lingshan stared at Xing Xuanli's back.

Her gaze was like a sharp blade, as if it was about to pierce Xing Xuanli's back. Luo Lingshan pursed her lips tightly, her face terribly gloomy, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.

"Why is she always so glorious? Why do all the people revolve around her!" Luo Lingshan roared angrily in her heart, her hands shaking with extreme resentment.

She stood there, motionless, as if frozen in place, but her eyes filled with resentment always followed Xing Xuanli's figure until they disappeared into the depths of the palace.

Luo Lingshan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, but the jealousy and resentment in her heart grew wildly like weeds, making it impossible for her to let go. She secretly vowed to make Xing Xuanli feel the same way about being ignored and ridiculed.

Bai Yize stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and said, "Let's go in too. Maybe we can get something good."

Luo Lingshan turned her head abruptly, glared at Bai Yize fiercely, and said unhappily: "If you want to come in, go in. I'm not in the mood now!"

Bai Yize frowned slightly and patiently advised: "Don't be like this. It's useless to keep staring at her. Why not go in and see if there is any chance to change the situation."

Luo Lingshan snorted coldly: "What chance is there? She Xing Xuanli is always so lucky!"

Bai Yize sighed softly: "If you keep being so negative, then there will really be no chance. Let's go in and take a look."

Luo Lingshan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and followed Bai Yize into the palace.

In Xing Xuanli's jade flute space, the four divine beasts saw Shanggu Xuan Gu and said, "Are you the master's new little brother?"

The ancient Xuan Gu's body was shining with light, and he seemed quite dissatisfied with the title of "little brother". He snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I am an ancient auspicious beast. How can I be someone else's little brother!"

Qinglong raised his head and said domineeringly: "Humph, once you enter this Yuxiao space, you must abide by the rules here. No matter what you were like in the past, now you are under the master's command and must obey his orders."

White Tiger also roared, "That's right, don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you have some ancient reputation."

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings lightly and said in a delicate voice, "Everyone, please don't be so fierce. But Xuan Gu, since we are here, we should make the best of it."

Xuanwu said slowly: "Don't argue. The right path is to serve the master together in the future."

Shanggu Xuan Gu was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Forget it, since we are already here, let's see what happens in the future."

The four divine beasts nodded in satisfaction, and the Yuxiao space temporarily returned to peace. However, beneath this seemingly calm surface, it seemed that many variables and challenges in the future were hidden.

Qinglong pointed at little Mu Han beside the spiritual spring and said, "Did you see that? That's the little master."

Shanggu Xuan Gu looked in the direction pointed by the Azure Dragon, and saw a delicate and pretty child squatting beside the spiritual spring, playing with the spring water with his little hands, with an innocent smile on his face.

"Is this the young master?" Shanggu Xuangu asked doubtfully.

Baihu said in a gruff voice, "Yes, the little master is the master's sweetheart."

The Vermilion Bird flew over lightly and landed next to Xiao Muhan. Xiao Muhan stretched out his little hand and gently stroked the Vermilion Bird's feathers.

"The little master is innocent, cute, and extremely talented. He will definitely achieve great things in the future." Zhuque said with a smile.

Xuanwu slowly crawled over and said, "Young Master has been connected to this Jade Flute Dimension since childhood, and will need our joint protection in the future."

Shanggu Xuan Gu looked at Xiao Mu Han, thinking about something.

At this moment, Xiao Muhan seemed to notice the gazes over here, turned his head, and looked at Shanggu Xuan Gu curiously with his clear eyes.

Little Mu Han looked at Shanggu Xuan Gu and asked doubtfully, "Are you mother's new pet?"

The Ancient Mysterious Solitary was slightly taken aback, then said seriously, "Little fellow, I am not some pet. I am the Ancient Mysterious Solitary, possessing extraordinary power and mission."

Little Mu Han tilted his head and blinked his big eyes: "But I think you are just a pet, like a little rabbit or a little kitten."

Shanggu Xuangu shook his head helplessly: "I am different from those ordinary little animals. I can help your mother achieve great things."

Xiao Muhan crossed his arms over his chest, a look of disbelief on his face: "Really? Then can you make me some candy now?"

Shanggu Xuangu was a little amused by Xiao Muhan's words: "I'm not used to turn into candy."

Xiao Muhan curled his lips: "Then what's the use of you? And you still say you are not a pet."

At this time, Qinglong came over and said with a smile: "Young master, this ancient Xuan Gu is very useful. You will know it in the future."

Xiao Muhan still looked puzzled: "How useful is that?"

Baihu also came over and said in a gruff voice, "When you are in danger, he will be able to protect you."

Xiao Muhan nodded, seeming to understand: "So that's how it is. Well, for now, I'll believe that you're not a pet."

Shanggu Xuan Gu looked at the innocent little Mu Han and sighed inwardly, thinking that he must make this little guy understand how powerful he is in the future.

Outside the Xingxuanli Yuxiao space, several sect disciples were carefully exploring the towering palace.

The palace was tall and majestic, its walls inlaid with gemstones, gleaming with a mysterious light. The dome was covered with exquisite murals, recounting ancient legends. The few people looked up, their hearts filled with awe and curiosity.

A disciple whispered, "This palace is so mysterious, I wonder how many secrets it hides."

Another disciple echoed, "Yes, everyone, be careful and don't trigger any mechanisms."

They walked with cautious steps, and their footsteps echoed in the empty palace.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a strange aroma. One of the disciples couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "This aroma is so strange."

Before he could finish his words, a tightly closed stone door appeared in front of him. Everyone looked at each other, hesitating whether to push it open.

At this moment, a brave disciple stepped forward, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently pushed on the stone door.

Little Mu Han spoke to Xing Xuanli in her mind: "Mother, I saw a lot of new and interesting things in the Yuxiao space."

Xing Xuanli was in the middle of a complicated situation outside the palace. When she heard Xiao Muhan's voice, her heart warmed and she responded, "Baby, Mommy still has some things to deal with. Be good."

Xiao Muhan said again: "Mother, I will be obedient, you have to be careful."

Xing Xuanli smiled slightly and said in her heart: "My Han'er is the most sensible."

Little Mu Han continued, "Mother, I feel like that ancient Xuan Gu seems very powerful."

Xing Xuanli thought for a moment and replied, "Han'er, then don't be naughty and provoke it."

Little Mu Han responded obediently, "Don't worry, mother. I'll just watch from a distance."

Although separated by the jade flute space, the hearts of mother and son are closely connected. This warm exchange of thoughts gives Xing Xuanli the strength and courage to face the challenges of the outside world.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) asked with concern: "Li'er, what's wrong?" Xing Xuanli smiled and replied: "Nothing."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) frowned, clearly not quite believing it, and continued to ask, "Li'er, don't hide it from me. Is there something bothering you?"

Xing Xuanli shook her head gently and said, "It's really nothing. It's just that the atmosphere in this palace is a bit heavy, and my thoughts are a bit confused."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked gentle but determined as he took Xing Xuanli's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm by your side. No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

Xing Xuanli felt warm in her heart and nodded: "Well, I feel much more at ease with you here."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) gently embraced Xing Xuanli in his arms and said, "Li'er, as long as you need me, I will always be here."

Xing Xuanli leaned in his arms, feeling the warmth and security, temporarily forgetting all the troubles around her.

Shi Sang shouted, "That's enough, you two, day after day!"

His voice echoed in the empty palace, filled with anger and helplessness.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli were startled by the sudden roar and separated, looking at Shi Sang together.

Shi Sang crossed his arms and said with a look of disgust, "You're so annoying wherever you go. Can you please consider the feelings of others? I have important things to do, and you guys are just being affectionate here."

Xing Xuanli blushed slightly, and said with a hint of annoyance, "Shi Sang, don't yell like that."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s expression turned cold, and he said, "Shi Sang, watch your words."

Shi Sang snorted, "What's wrong with my words? Isn't what I said the truth? We came to this palace to explore the secrets and treasures, not to see you show off your affection."

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward. The three of them were silent. Only the faint sound of the wind in the palace and the sound of dripping water from somewhere in the distance could be heard.

Seeing the two of them on edge, Lin Luochuan stepped forward and advised, "Alright, alright, alright, Miss Shi...you should be more tolerant. My third brother finally found his sister-in-law with great difficulty, so of course he has to hold her hand at all times."

Shi Sang listened, his expression still unsightly. He snorted coldly and said, "Even so, we should consider the occasion! We are in this mysterious palace, surrounded by dangers. How can we have the energy to watch them being affectionate with each other?"

Lin Luochuan smiled and said, "Miss Shi, don't be so serious. My third brother and his wife have been reunited after a long separation, and they are very affectionate. It's only natural. Let's focus on the treasure hunt first and don't let this little thing ruin our relationship."

Shi Sang rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Humph, you're the only one who can play peacemaker. Okay, forget it this time, but if there's a next time, don't blame me for being rude."

Lin Luochuan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Miss Shi is very generous. Let's continue moving forward. Maybe the treasure is waiting for us up ahead."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) also relaxed his expression a little at this time, and pulled Xing Xuanli and said, "Ignore her, let's go."

Xing Xuanli gently tugged at Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han's) sleeve and said, "You have to be more patient. Shi Sang is just like that. She's not a bad person."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) frowned, his face still a little unhappy: "Humph, even so, she shouldn't be so rude."

Xing Xuanli looked at him gently, her eyes full of persuasion: "I know you're unhappy, but after all, we're all partners in this journey together. If we keep arguing like this, how can we move forward? Shi Sang is usually impulsive and outspoken, but he can also be relied upon in critical moments."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) listened to Xing Xuanli's words, and his expression gradually softened: "Forget it, for your sake, I won't bother with her."

Xing Xuanli smiled slightly: "That's right, we still have to face the unknown dangers in this palace together, unity is the most important thing."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded and held Xing Xuanli's hand: "I'll do as you say. As long as you're by my side, I can endure anything."

A blush appeared on Xing Xuanli's face. The two smiled at each other, then followed the team in front and continued to move forward in this mysterious palace.

Xing Xuanli walked up to Shi Sang, put her hand on her shoulder, and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. How about I ask Xiao Muhan to refine the magic weapon you want for you later?"

Shi Sang turned his head away and muttered, "Who cares!" But his tone was obviously not as tough as before.

Xing Xuanli smiled gently: "Don't be stubborn, I know you have always wanted that magic weapon. Xiao Muhan's refining skills are very powerful, I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Shi Sang couldn't help but say, "Huh, can that little guy do it?"

Xing Xuanli said confidently: "Don't underestimate Xiao Muhan. He is extremely talented and his ability to refine magic weapons is also first-class."

Shi Sang was slightly moved, and his attitude softened: "Well... well, if he can really refine what I want, then let this matter go."

Seeing her relax, Xing Xuanli quickly said, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

Shi Sang snorted lightly: "Then for your sake, I will not bother with him this time."

Xing Xuanli smiled and said, "That's right. We still have to work together to gain something in this palace."

Shi Sang nodded, and the group restored the harmonious atmosphere and continued to walk towards the depths of the palace.
