Outside Green Vine Courtyard was a waterside pavilion, with a pond full of lotuses and frogs croaking.
The green tiles, red bricks and yellow silk made the mist that splashed out from the waterfall from even higher up, forming a dense rainbow above the waterside pavilion, it was extremely beautiful.
The yellow robed female disciple led Emperor Han to the waterside pavilion, "Sect Leader, Senior Brother Han is here."
"Please come in."
There were seven or eight women in the waterside pavilion. Two of them were about the same age and looked very similar. Both of them had well-developed bodies and were extremely beautiful. Their clothes were also different from ordinary women. One of them was wearing a lotus crown, and only she was sitting on a stone bench. Behind the two beautiful ladies were a few girls dressed like disciples, the youngest was only 13 or 14 years old, the oldest was only 25 or 26, they were all extremely beautiful.
In front of the stone bench the beautiful ladies sat on, there was a jade table, on it were exquisite preserved fruits and pastries, two pots of wine and a few crystal cups.
The yellow robed female disciple made a gesture, and opened up a path, "Senior Brother Han, please."
"Sorry for the trouble." Emperor Han nodded to her, raised his hand and made a gesture to stop, then walked towards the waterside pavilion.
Tang Tianqi was about to follow.
"You stay here too." Emperor Han said without turning his head.
Tang Tianqi respectfully lowered his head, agreed, then retreated to the shore, and stood there obediently. He knew that Emperor Han blamed him for losing face, but the hatred in his heart could not be erased, and he wanted to start a massacre.
Emperor Han entered the waterside pavilion, smiled and cupped his fists at the two beautiful ladies, and bowed slightly, "Junior greets Mountain Master, Law Elder."
"Little Han, this child, is still so polite." The beautiful lady sitting seemed to be enjoying it, and smiled reservedly.
Her surname was Xiao, name Yu Yan, and was the Sect Leader of Lotus Constellation, Gu Caiwei's master. In the history of Lotus Constellation, she was a rare disciple who had cultivated the Zither Heart to the third stage. The Zither Heart to the third stage was extremely difficult to cultivate, but once it was achieved, her power would suppress the entire Lotus Constellation, so all the previous Sect Leaders were disciples who had cultivated the Zither Heart to the third stage.
Later on, because this cultivation method was too special, even if a hundred people cultivated it, there might not even be one person who could succeed. Therefore, only the disciples were strictly selected to be the successor of the sect leader, and carefully nurtured.
"Don't just stand there, sit down." Another beautiful woman sat down across from Emperor Han and invited him with a smile. Her name was Xiao Yuxin, and she was Xiao Yuyan's biological sister. As Xiao Yuyan's left and right hand, she was appointed as the disciplinary elder.
The two sisters were both great beauties who had shaken the Jambu Kingdom in the past. The number of young talents who pursued them was like a school of carps crossing the river. Now, even though they were both old, only their temperament had changed. Their appearances were still as beautiful as before.
The disciple behind him naturally came forward to pour wine for the three of them.
Emperor Han sat down in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "My master asked me to send his greetings to the two seniors. He said that he would never forget the two of you drinking and chatting merrily in Guangwei Forest, exchanging cultivation experiences."
The two sisters looked at each other, and Xiao Yuyan's lips curled into a nostalgic smile. "Li Banshan, that brute. So many years have passed, but he still remembers what happened in Guangwei Forest."
"Guangwei Forest." Xiao Yuxin pursed her red lips, and her eyes blurred for a moment. The distant memories made her almost unable to extricate herself. She sighed inwardly and changed the topic. "Little Han, I heard that something happened to your third junior sister? She was executed on a double nine? "
Xiao Yuyan was truly shocked. "I just came out of seclusion, and this actually happened?"
Emperor Han raised his wine cup and drank a mouthful, concealing his expression. "She is a spy from the Heaven Sect."
"Why? The attraction of the Heaven Sect has already surpassed that of Confucian orthodoxy?" Xiao Yuyan frowned. In her opinion, this was an inconceivable matter. The Heaven Sect was just a street rat, while the first seat of the Dao Court's Big Dipper Third Palace was much more respectable.
Emperor Han said, "Everyone has their own choice."
Xiao Yuxin sensed that Emperor Han did not want to say more, so she changed the topic. "Just now, I heard quite a commotion at the foot of the mountain. Did a thief break in?"
"Regarding this, your two disciples should know better," Son Han said.
Xiao Yuyan summoned the yellow-robed female disciple to inquire.
The yellow-robed female disciple's name was Liu Yuezhen. She immediately said, "When disciple arrived, I only saw the disciples from the Court Of Sword's Cangjian Peak fighting with Senior Brother Han. It seemed to be a dispute because of Junior Sister Caiwei."
"Cangjian Peak?" Xiao Yuyan's voice rose slightly, and her face revealed a disgusted expression. "What are those poor people doing here?"
Liu Yuezhen said, "I heard that they are here to find Junior Sister Caiwei."
"Do you think they are worthy?" Xiao Yuyan said coldly, "Quickly chase them away. I don't want to hear anything about them anymore."
"This …" Liu Yuezhen said awkwardly, "Junior Sister Ziqi has already brought them in."
"Who gave her the guts!" Xiao Yuyan's beautiful eyes widened. "Go, call her over for me!"
Liu Yuezhen obeyed and left.
Standing on the shore, a disciple of the Dao Court said angrily, "Mountain Lord, that Yan Li even destroyed our White Dragon Carriage!"
Xiao Yuyan was so angry that she laughed. She said, "Good. That wanton Su Xiaojian really taught a bunch of uneducated people!"
She said to Emperor Han, "Little Han, don't worry. I will definitely uphold justice for you today."
"Mountain Lord, there is actually a reason for this." Emperor Han's expression did not change. "There is nothing to pursue."
"As expected, he is a good child." Xiao Yuyan saw that he did not use his strength to bully the weak, nor did he use his status to bully others. She liked him even more. "This time, I will help you persuade him. That child Caiwei is really too much. With such a good husband, what is there to be dissatisfied about."
Liu Yuezhen hurriedly found Du Ziqi and told her about Xiao Yuyan's summon. She then frowned and said, "Junior Sister Ziqi, you are too rash this time. The Sect Master's temper has always been bad. In the end, even if he chased Emperor Han away, you will not have a good ending."
"As long as I can do something for Weiwei, I don't care about anything." Du Ziqi smiled in disappointment. "We, as Senior Sisters, can't help at all. We're too useless. Let's not talk about it anymore. What is the situation now? Did Emperor Han say anything bad about Yan Li? "
Liu Yuezhen shook her head.
"That hypocrite." Du Ziqi gritted her teeth. "He must be pretending to be obedient in front of the Sect Master."
Liu Yuezhen sighed to herself. With Emperor Han's status, he really did not need to do such unnecessary things. However, she knew that Du Ziqi had always been prejudiced against Emperor Han. She did not expose him and only led the way.
"This Young Master Yan. Of all times, he came, he just had to bump into that hypocrite." Du Ziqi complained. "If not, I could have calmly made some arrangements. Now, I can only try everything in a desperate situation."
"You should be careful. That Emperor Han, I think, rather than complaining, he would rather deal with the people of Cangjian Peak himself. "Liu Yuezhen said without turning her head.
At this time, they had already stepped into Green Vine Courtyard. Du Ziqi resisted the urge to speak again. Her expression gradually changed to one of panic. Her footsteps gradually quickened.
"Du Ziqi, how dare you!"
Before she reached, she was startled by a cold voice from the waterside pavilion. The Sect Master's usual authority and methods slowly surfaced in her mind. Her footsteps involuntarily slowed down. She gritted her teeth and secretly cheered herself on. She entered the waterside pavilion and knelt down beside the table. She said fearfully,
"No, may I know what I have done wrong?"
Xiao Yuyan's eyes were cold, shooting out a piercing killing intent. "Let me ask you, is there a rule in the Lotus Seat that clearly states that they do not welcome male cultivators?"
"Yes …" Du Ziqi replied in a low voice.
"Then what about those people of Cangjian Peak?" Xiao Yuyan questioned.
"They are all my friends …" Du Ziqi replied in a low voice.
"Ziqi, how can you be so insensible!" Xiao Yuxin had already felt her sister's anger. She quickly scolded her before she could lose her temper. "Even if they are your friends, you cannot bring them into the Lotus Seat. This has always been the rule."
"Rules, rules are rules." Du Ziqi gathered her courage and said, "But there are always exceptions to everything!"
"Exceptions?" Xiao Yuyan slightly narrowed her eyes. "Fine, tell me what exceptions are you talking about. If you can't give me a reason today, then this Seat will cripple your cultivation, expel you from the sect, and demote you to a brothel to do the most lowly of jobs!"
As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked. The most lowly of jobs, wasn't that being a prostitute? From a high and mighty Confucian orthodoxy disciple to a brothel's prostitute. Such a huge drop, no one would be able to bear it.
Du Ziqi's face turned pale. She finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Liu Yuezhen's expression changed. She quickly kneeled on the ground. "Sect Leader, Junior Sister Ziqi did not mean what she said. She did not mean to contradict you. Please forgive her …"
"Sister!" Xiao Yuxin also helped to plead in a low voice. "Ziqi has always been obedient. This punishment is too severe. Please take back your order …"
Xiao Yuyan was completely unmoved. She said indifferently, "She hasn't said anything yet. Why? Do you have no confidence in her so-called 'exception'?"
Du Ziqi gritted her teeth. She recalled the things that Gu Caiwei had done for them. She did not know where she got the courage to raise her head. "Alright, I will speak!"
"Ziqi, you can't!" Xiao Yuxin was about to cry. Why was this child so worrisome? The Sect Leader's words were like gold and jade in public. The possibility of retracting them was almost zero. No matter how extravagant her words were, they would find an excuse to punish her. Her demotion to a brothel was already a done deal.
"Don't interrupt. Let her speak." Xiao Yuyan's face was cold.
Du Ziqi stubbornly said, "Isn't Senior Martial Brother Han a male cultivator? Why can he come in? "
"How can Little Han be the same?" Xiao Yuyan slammed her cup down. She said coldly, "Don't you know that he came to propose? It seems that I have been too lenient with you. — Guards! "
Du Ziqi was stunned. Her mind was blank. She was finished. She was going to be demoted to a brothel! She allowed her two fellow disciples to carry her out of the waterside pavilion. She was in a daze like a walking corpse.
"Young Master Yan also came to propose …"
