As they followed Ruo Xiangyi, they admired the beautiful scenery of the Peony Palace. Very soon, they saw the real Peony Palace.
Lu Xuan wasn't unfamiliar with the appearance of the palace. It was the palace they saw through the illusory array in Hundred Flowers City. The Peony Palace in front of them was exactly the same as that palace, or it could be said that the palace was based on the real Peony Palace.
Tian Xin praised, "So this palace really exists. It's extremely grand, comparable to our Nine Dragons Imperial Court's Nine Dragons Great Palace."
Ruo Xiangyi smiled, "Let's go. My master should be inside right now. My master is a very easy person to talk to, much better than Luo Xianghan. You don't have to be so reserved."
Tian Xin chuckled, "I've seen a lot of things, so there's no need to be reserved. Lu Xuan is even His Majesty's brother, so how could he be reserved in front of a fourth grade sect's sect master? Err … Miss Ruo, I don't mean to belittle your master. Please don't misunderstand."
Lu Xuan shook his head. Tian Xin had always been a straightforward person, speaking whatever was on her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have picked a fight with him when they first met. However, this kind of person wouldn't have any bad intentions. This was the reason why Lu Xuan felt that Tian Xin was worth befriending.
When the three of them entered the palace, a group of beautiful female disciples greeted Ruo Xiangyi in twos and threes. At the same time, they looked at Lu Xuan and Ruo Xianghan curiously. Senior Sister Ruo had never brought a man into the Peony Palace, let alone into this palace. However, they were only curious, not surprised. It was as if they already knew about it.
After walking through the palace, they came to a large hall. Ruo Xiangyi was surprised to find that her master was already sitting there waiting for them, as if she already knew that she would come. Lu Xuan and Ruo Xianghan turned their heads and saw a beautiful woman sitting there. She seemed to be around the same age as Zhao Ying, and her appearance wasn't inferior either. Lu Xuan thought that this beautiful woman must be the Peony Palace Master, Hua Yuling. Ruo Xiangyi had mentioned her master's name to them before.
"Master." Ruo Xiangyi called out intimately. Then, she walked up and hugged the Peony Palace Master's neck from behind. "Master, I brought two friends."
Hua Yuling smiled helplessly at Ruo Xiangyi's intimacy. "Xiangyi, how old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?"
She shook her head and looked at Lu Xuan and Lu Xuan. Finally, her gaze fell on Lu Xuan. She smiled and said, "Are you Lu Xuan?"
Lu Xuan was startled when he heard this. Was he that famous? Luo Xianghan knew his name, and so did the Peony Palace Mistress. He nodded and bowed, "Junior Lu Xuan greets Palace Master."
Tian Xin cupped her hands and said her name.
Hua Yuling waved her hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite. Since we're friends, we're family. Furthermore, your master and I are old friends."
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded. Master and the Peony Palace Master were old friends? It made sense. They were all elites from fourth-rank sects under the Alliance of Jiuhua. It was only natural that they knew each other. However, Hua Yuling seemed to be on good terms with Zhao Ying.
After greeting Lu Xuan and Tian Xin, Hua Yuling asked Ruo Xiangyi, "I heard you taught the two from the He and Wu families a lesson in Hundred Flowers City?"
Ruo Xiangyi was surprised. "Master, how did you find out so quickly?"
Hua Yuling smiled. "As the Palace Master of the Peony Palace, if I didn't know what happened in my own territory, then I'd be a fool to be the Palace Master. Not only that, but I also know that you just fought with Luo Xianghan."
She looked at Lu Xuan and nodded. "Lu Xuan, you're not bad. Zhao Ying has accepted a good disciple. Luo Xianghan has always been proud of her comprehension of the Precepts of Time. She didn't expect you to steal it without her noticing."
Lu Xuan retorted, "I didn't steal it. She wanted to hit me, so I had no choice but to accept it."
Hua Yuling couldn't help but laugh. She pointed at Lu Xuan. "You're a smooth talker. You're nothing like Bing 'er. I don't know why she likes you."
Ruo Xiangyi shook Hua Yuling's shoulder. "Master, since you knew everything, why didn't you help Lu Xuan and Luo Xianghan when they were fighting?"
"It's not that simple." Hua Yuling shook her head. "If I stood out, then I would have completely fallen out with her. For the entire Peony Palace, this might not be a good thing. Of course, if she wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't just stand by and watch."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement. The thoughts of those in high positions were not so simple. Luo Xianghan didn't sit in the Palace Master's position, so she unscrupulously attacked Hua Yuling. However, Hua Yuling had to look at the problem from the perspective of the entire Peony Palace. She couldn't let her personal grievances ruin the important matters.
Recalling the scene of Ruo Xiangyi crying for Lu Xuan, Hua Yuling sighed in her heart. It was really an ill-fated relationship. In the past, Ruo Xiangyi liked women, so she thought of ways to make Ruo Xiangyi like men. She didn't expect that when she finally liked a man, she would fall in love with Lu Xuan.
In the past, she and Zhao Ying fell in love with the same man. Now, her disciple also fell in love with the same man. Hua Yuling originally wanted Ruo Xiangyi to go out into the world of mortals and dissolve her feelings for Lu Xuan. Who knew that after Lu Xuan disappeared for a period of time, he suddenly appeared in Hundred Flowers City. It was really unexpected. However, since things had come to this, she didn't want to interfere. How far they could go would depend on the fate of these young people.
Hearing Hua Yuling say that if something really happened, she wouldn't just stand by and watch. Ruo Xiangyi smiled. It turned out that her master already knew about it. She was worried for a long time. She then said, "Master, I'm going to let Lu Xuan and the others stay here for a day. When we recruit disciples the day after tomorrow, I'll let Lu Xuan be the examiner. What do you think?"
Hua Yuling didn't rush to agree. Instead, she looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Lu Xuan, are you willing? This is a matter of offending people. Although your identity is a bit special and you aren't a member of our Peony Palace, there might still be some trouble in the future. "
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Mistress doesn't need to worry. If this trouble is referring to Luo Xianghan, I have already thoroughly offended her."
"Since you don't care, then there's no problem. With your current strength, it's more than enough to be an examiner for my Peony Palace. As for the entrance examination, Ruo Xiangyi will explain it to you." Hua Yuling nodded with satisfaction. It couldn't be better that Lu Xuan was willing to do this matter of offending people.
"There's no need to be restrained in the palace. Do as you please. Xiangyi, take good care of the two of them." Hua Yuling stood up and walked towards the back of the hall. Halfway there, she turned back and said, "Oh right, Lu Xuan, when you return to the Profound Ice Pavilion, remember to send my regards to Zhao Ying. Just say … I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her. I don't know if she's well."
"Oh, okay. This junior will keep it in mind." Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment before replying. He was a bit puzzled. He didn't know what the relationship between his master and Hua Yuling was. If they were familiar, they should be in contact often. Why did he have to bring a message?
After watching Hua Yuling leave, Ruo Xiangyi walked back and said, "How is it? My master is easy to talk to, right? Now that master has agreed, the two of you will be the examiners hired by my Peony Palace. "
Lu Xuan rubbed his head and said, "I didn't expect Palace Mistress Hua to know my master."
Ruo Xiangyi rolled her eyes and said, "What's so strange about that? Don't we already know each other? In the future, when I become the Peony Palace Master and you become the Profound Ice Pavilion Elder, it will be the relationship between my master and your master."
"Hehe, I don't think it's just that. I was watching just now, and it felt like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law." Tian Xin started to talk nonsense again. She then asked, "Miss Ruo, can't the disciples of your Peony Palace get married? Why doesn't your master have a husband? Can't she get married after becoming the Palace Mistress? If that's the case, I don't think you should be the Palace Mistress. "
"How could that be? Master is just … I'm not too sure. Master seemed to have liked someone when she was young, but I don't know what happened later." Ruo Xiangyi also didn't know much.
Tian Xin shook her head and said, "Tsk tsk, what a pity."
Ruo Xiangyi glared at her and said, "If you dare have any disrespectful thoughts towards master, Lu Xuan won't let you go! Hmph, speaking of which, Lu Xuan is my master's nephew. "
Tian Xin was so scared that she waved her hand and said, "Miss Ruo, don't talk nonsense. Your master is far away in Hundred Flowers City. If she finds out, I'll be in trouble. Besides, how would I dare? I can't even beat Luo Xianghan, let alone your master."
"That's more like it." Ruo Xiangyi nodded with satisfaction, "I'll take you to a place to rest first. I'll also tell you about the entrance examination. Tomorrow, I'll show you around the palace. The day after tomorrow, you have to start working."
The resting place arranged by Ruo Xiangyi was naturally not bad. The room was well-equipped, and there was a high-grade Qi Gathering Formation in the quiet room. Cultivating here would be twice the result with half the effort. Compared to the guest house that Lu Xuan lived in when he was still a disciple of Wind Sword School, it was much more advanced.
Then, Ruo Xiangyi told Lu Xuan and Tian Xin about the entrance examination. This was the first time that Lu Xuan had served as an examiner for the entrance examination. Moreover, it was not for his own sect, but for the Peony Palace. Naturally, he listened carefully. If he messed up and was embarrassed, Ruo Xiangyi wouldn't lose face. If she used an outsider like him as an examiner, she would have to bear a lot of criticism.
