"Yes, but I comforted him."

"..."

Ning Xianzhi held his forehead, feeling tired and hesitant to speak. Isn't this just to cause misunderstanding?

But it doesn't have much impact. It's about time to visit him anyway, check on his recovery, and then clarify the misunderstanding caused by Yun Qingying.

"Qingying, I will teach you a method. You should practice in the mountains for the next few days and don't go out casually. If you want to collect seasonal spiritual energy, ask Jiujiu to help."

"it is good."

*

A few days had passed since the incident involving Prince Jing'an, and the news gradually spread. Empress Lihuo, through Empress Wen, invited Chu Wuji to dine at the palace.

Chu Wuji has been messing around with so many things in Lihuo Country, it is only a matter of time before the Holy Queen notices him.

But when he thought about his relationship with Queen Wen, he was still a little nervous, worried that she was here to hold him accountable.

However, Princess Jing'an and Yao'er were also accompanying him, so it shouldn't be a matter of accountability.

He entered the palace in a carriage with the princess and her daughter. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the graceful and beautiful queen waiting for him. There was a hint of uneasiness on the face of this mother of the country.

"Auntie!" Yaoer greeted.

"Hey~" Queen Wen forced a smile and rubbed the girl's forehead affectionately.

Princess Jing'an has been in a complicated mood these days. She has long been accustomed to living alone with her daughter all year round without her husband around. It has been like this for many years. Only during the New Year and Spring Festival every year would Prince Jing'an appear briefly, and then leave in a hurry.

But "the person is not around" and "died suddenly on the way" are two different things...

At that moment, she met with Queen Wen and focused her attention on the invitation from the Holy Queen.

"Queen, what's going on? Why did the Holy Queen invite Wu Ji to the palace for dinner?"

Queen Wen shook her head and soothed, "We should meet once, but our intention is to be kind, not to hold someone accountable. Besides, who can hold Wu Ji responsible?"

The Holy Queen Lihuo was also an immortal cultivator in the past. She returned to secular life and came back to "inherit" the throne. Chu Wuji was close to the elders of the immortal family, so it was impossible for him to be blamed.

Even if Chu Wuji committed serious crimes within the Lihuo Kingdom, if the Holy Queen wanted to deal with him, she would have to first speak to an elder of the Shenxiao Sect.

Chu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. He then asked, "Queen, why did you look so heavy just now?"

Yao'er was right beside her. Empress Wen couldn't say it directly, so she could only roll her eyes at him. Although she looked angry, she also revealed a different kind of charm. She said angrily:

"Why else could it be!"

When the Holy Empress Lihuo met Empress Wen today, she asked curiously:

Your lover must be Chu Wuji, right? He is the only man who has entered and left your palace, but didn’t Princess Jing’an adopt him as her adopted son?

The Holy Queen had no intention of blaming her, but it did make Empress Wen very embarrassed.

......

While chatting, they came to the Holy Queen's palace and had dinner together.

Also in the palace were Pavilion Master Fan and a strange heroic woman.

Chu Wuji thought the atmosphere would be rather solemn, but it seemed quite easy-going, because the heroic woman was busy cooking, eating from a bowl as big as a washbasin!

Xiao Yaoer obviously knew her and took the initiative to sit over and chat and say hello, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time and was very enthusiastic.

While responding, the heroic woman did not stop eating. She picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Yaoer's mouth.

"Xiaoyao'er, eat more. You haven't grown much."

Pavilion Master Fan introduced, "This is my daughter Yang He. She is cultivating in Xiaoyao Valley and has a good appetite. Last time, she saw the ring-handled sword that Master Chu returned, and she praised it highly."

Chu Wuji didn't understand why he was praising it so much. The knife was not forged by him. He just killed a fat dragon and got a lot of grease from it.

But as long as it's well-intentioned, that's fine.

He looked at the Holy Queen of Fire sitting on the master's seat. It was said that she was over fifty years old, but after practicing as an immortal, she had the ability to maintain her youthful appearance and looked like a beautiful young woman in her thirties.

Royal beauties like Empress Dowager Sheng, Empress Wen, and Princess Jing'an all have similarities in their natural bone structure and temperament. They are dignified, bright and elegant, and their nobility can overshadow all the beauties in the harem, but their specific appearances are unique.

After the Holy Queen Lihuo took control of the royal power, her expression was filled with the majesty of an empress that other women did not possess.

She had a brief conversation with Chu Wuji, and there was indeed no bad intention on her part. She was more like treating him as a family member of the Lihuo Country, and wanted to have a simple meeting and a meal.

Another thing is to learn about the situation of Prince Jing'an's convoy from him.

There were many witnesses at the time, but Chu Wuji was the first to intervene at the scene. There were also rumors among the people that there was a "battle between gods".

Chu Wuji concealed some of the information and told the general story of what happened at that time.

After hearing this, the Holy Queen nodded and remained silent for a moment before saying:

"Greed plays with fire, recklessly touching things that are beyond your control. Sigh... Princess Jing'an and Yao'er also express their condolences. This matter has nothing to do with you. If there are any major matters in the palace in the future, please discuss them with Wuji and the Queen."

The Holy Queen was making a statement, telling both the Jing'an Palace and the Wen family not to worry. The Jing'an Prince was solely responsible for his own actions, and he had also played with fire and got burned.

Those evil creatures got out of control on the road and didn't cause disaster in the town. It was fortunate enough that they paid with their lives to atone for their sins and let the matter go.

Moreover, this seemed to be an invisible instruction to Queen Wen and Princess Jing'an to keep Chu Wuji in the palace.

Pavilion Master Fan saw that the discussion about Prince Jing'an had ended, and she finally had room to interrupt. This cheerful and generous middle-aged woman asked curiously:

"Let's not stop drinking, let's not stop talking, let's talk about what happened in Jieshi City!

Now that you are considered a member of the Lihuo Nation clan, tell me the inside story that you concealed back then!"

Pavilion Master Fan's daughter, Yang He, never stopped talking. The palace maid brought her another bowl of rice. As she ate, she said:

"Yes, I'm not full yet. We can still chat for a while... Your Majesty, please ask the imperial kitchen to bring another bowl of soup. These dishes are a bit dry in the throat."

Chu Wuji couldn't help but marvel at it, thinking that this girl must also be a disciple of an immortal.

Although there's no mandatory fasting rule for monks, their appetite generally decreases gradually. How come this girl can eat so much?!

"Okay, the events of Jieshi City are not really a secret. Let's just talk about it as an interesting story at the dinner table..."

Chu Wuji told the whole story and also mentioned that the Hehuan Sect had emptied the city lord's treasury.

Pavilion Master Fan suddenly realized what was happening. She slapped her thigh, feeling the pain, and turned to pat her daughter's tight legs. The sound was crisp and pleasant, and then she said:

"Over the years, I have been constantly trying to understand the development trajectory of Jieshi City. I never expected this to be the case. I guess the people from the Hehuan Sect are also secretly helping to raise the fat sheep of Jieshi City and then secretly slaughter it!"

After Wen Yaoer had eaten her fill, she took the initiative to sit in Chu Wuzhi's arms. Queen Wen was really envious of the little girl who could be so openly intimate with him.

Chu Wuji took this opportunity to ask about the abolition of the Jianghu in Lihuo Country.

The Holy Empress said, "Let Pavilion Master Fan help explain it. You can't eat a healthy goose for nothing."

Yang He pricked up his ears: "Big goose, is there any big goose in today's dish?"

"This is all old news, where can I start talking about it..." Pavilion Master Fan took a sip of wine helplessly.

She mentioned that abolishing the martial arts world was a measure taken after weighing the pros and cons. The Lihuo Country needed a stable environment for recuperation in order to cope with future changes.

There once was a unified empire on the continent of this continent, but at that time, the immortals and demons fought fiercely. Every few days, they moved mountains and smashed people, changed the course of rivers, and destroyed the earth's veins and water transportation.

The geographical environment will affect the influence of secular dynasties. Some places are isolated by mountains, and the empire's ability to govern those places decreases, and they gradually split into several small countries.

In the past, Lihuo Country was the weapon foundry of the unified empire. It mastered the best minerals and forging techniques, and the weapons produced in Lihuo Country were recognized by the monks in the world.

"Back then, there were a few gangsters who wanted to rob the royal family of their minerals..."

"So that's how it is." Chu Wuzhi nodded.

From different standpoints, people have different views on the issue.

From the perspective of martial artists, the royal family destroyed the martial spirit of martial artists, which led to the occurrence of small demons causing chaos among the people and it was difficult for knights to help.

But from the perspective of the Lihuo royal family, their country is a unique immortal military industrial base. If the most core mineral veins are snatched away by the martial arts sects, what will happen in the future?

......

The dinner ended and the group left the palace.

Queen Wen wanted to keep Chu Wuzhi to chat with her, but Yaoer also wanted to come over and couldn't be coaxed away.

Queen Wen gritted her teeth in anger and pinched the girl's cheeks: "It's all in vain that I love you, little girl!"

But it didn't matter, because the Holy Queen said at the dinner that she promised Empress Wen that she could return to Prince Jing'an's Mansion to visit relatives at any time, as long as she didn't return to the palace.

This was a disguised way of facilitating her and Chu Wuji's secret meeting.

Queen Wen plans to return to the palace to find Chu Wuzhi in two days. If Yao'er wants to come in then, she can only watch from outside the door!

But she still couldn't be too arrogant. Princess Jing'an didn't know the relationship between her Queen Wen and Chu Wuji. She should avoid it if possible to avoid embarrassment when the family met.

"Wu Ji, you won't leave the capital recently, right?" Queen Wen confirmed.

"Recently, how long exactly?" Chu Wuji was very serious.

"Nearly five days!" Queen Wen said unhappily. From her tone, it was clear that she had plans to go out in a while, so she had to hurry.

"I won't be leaving for nearly five days."

"That's good." Queen Wen felt relieved.

*

Although there is an additional royal organization, Chu Wuzhi feels that the pace of his daily life has not changed much, which is actually a good thing.

"The Lihuo Nation is taking advantage of a loophole. The immortal forces must remain neutral. The Lihuo Nation will send people to the immortals for further training, and then return to secular life.

Pavilion Master Fan's daughters are actually immortal cultivators, their cultivation level is enough to eat three bowls of rice, they are powerful figures at the dinner table! "

On this day, as soon as Chu Wuzhi's qi and blood recovered, he immediately mobilized the qi and blood in his body, impacting the light balls on his tendons and bones, and integrating them into his body.

There is no problem with the "tendons", but there is a big problem with the "bones".

The light balls in different parts of the bones are independent and need to be "lit up" separately. Chu Wuji cannot "light up" all the bone light balls at once.

So this time he chose the humerus, which connects the spine and elbow joint.

After half a month of hard work to recover the energy and blood, it was suddenly depleted again.

Chu Wuji lay on the bed in the palace bedroom and said: "I won't be afraid of lumbar disc herniation in the future. I think the impact of elbows will be better..."

Suddenly, Ning Xianzhi's worried voice rang out in the room:

"How can the Qi and blood be deficient to this extent..."

She walked to the bed, bent down her plump and proud body, lowered her head and looked at Chu Wuji. The young man's face was reflected in her clear and cool eyes that were not tainted by the world.

"Master, what's wrong with you..." Chu Wuji thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes in surprise.

"You called me the wrong name. I haven't accepted you as my disciple yet. You must not be impolite. Let's talk again!" The female immortal said with a stern face.

Previously, Chu Wuji thought that this "mother's friend" was too enthusiastic. After Aunt Qingshe's secret confession, Chu Wuji realized that Ning Xianzhi was the "amnesiac version of Bai Sujin" who was planning to abduct him to the mountain.

Her care and attention to him had nothing to do with Bai Sujin, and seemed to be directed solely at him.

"Mother."

"Ah."

Chapter 138: Ning Xianzhi: Only one or two treatments

After two greetings, Ning Xianzhi and Chu Wuji fell into silence.

The female immortal who rushed over from the Shenxiao Sect had something urgent to say to the young man. The most important thing was to clarify the matter of her disciple talking nonsense, and then there was the matter of meridian regulation.

The importance of conditioning is no less than the former, it is equally important.

It was just these two things that made Ning Xianzhi speechless for a while.

Because she found that there was something subtly different in the way Chu Wuzhi looked at her, and she couldn't describe the feeling.

Ning Xianzhi broke the silence first, her lips curled up in a gentle arc:

"Wu Ji, I heard Qingying talk about her cultivation talent while she was staying here temporarily... It's definitely not what Qingying said. Do you think you dislike me? I'm not in a hurry to accept you as my disciple. I have longer-term considerations."

The female fairy stuttered when she said this. She was struggling with how to express this "longer-term consideration". At that time, she didn't know how honest the green snake was with him.

If the Green Snake had not taken the initiative to tell the White Snake about her condition, then Ning Xianzhi would have been exposed if he had taken the initiative to tell her.

Just as Ning Xianzhi frowned and thought, Chu Wuji sat up from the soft embroidered couch in the palace. He fumbled around and found the jade pendant, then placed it in front of Ning Xianzhi's collarbone.

Chu Wuzhi's hand was actually a little distance away from her breasts, but the breasts of this noble and extraordinary female fairy were tall and full, and the jade pendant swinging back and forth bounced in Ning Xianzhi's heart.
