Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 179 Family and State Affairs
Su Qing suddenly opened her eyes, and there was a bright red in her eyes, the same color as the red snake wrapped around her jade arm.

After she entered the Return to Void Realm, her temperament became more gentle, with long hair hanging down her shoulders and eyes full of autumn water. She looked at Chi Lian with infinite tenderness.

The little red snake was sticking out its tongue, and it didn't look scary at all. Instead, it looked clever and cute.

Both the man and the snake were extremely excited, thinking that they were one step closer to fulfilling their long-cherished wish.

Su Qing tidied up her appearance, smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes, and then gracefully walked out of the cave. As soon as she walked out, she ran into Taoist Xuancheng, who had a look of anxiety on his face.

As Su Qing's mentor, Taoist Xuancheng had always doted on this disciple, wishing to give her all the resources of the Alchemy Pavilion. None of the Alchemy Pavilion disciples found this inappropriate, simply because Senior Sister Su was kind and well-meaning, and often refined pills for other disciples to use.

Su Qing bowed and said with a smile: "Su Qing greets Master and Elder Qingwei."

Taoist Xuancheng looked his beloved disciple up and down and saw that she had a restrained aura and a complete mind. She looked like a piece of fine unpolished jade, which was the aura of someone who had reached the Return to Void Realm.

He smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's great! Our Dan Pavilion has also produced a disciple in the Return to Void Realm. I won't have to be shown off by that old guy from the Sword Pavilion all day long anymore!"

Qingwei nudged his friend and reminded him, "Boyue has been guarding your precious disciple for several days, and you say that to him?"

Taoist Xuancheng laughed heartily, took out several bottles of elixirs, and distributed them like a boy giving out money. "Everyone come and share in the joy. Everyone gets a share, everyone gets a share!"

"I really can't bear to see your face like this."

"Give Ling'er and Xun Ziyu some more~"

"Okay, okay." Qingwei said dissatisfiedly, but he never hesitated when taking things from others.

Su Qing secretly glanced at Elder Qingwei and wanted to ask about Yun Yi's news, but thinking that there were too many people here, he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Xuancheng seemed to understand his disciple's thoughts and took the initiative to tease: "Old Qingwei, have you heard any news about Yun Yi recently?"

Qingwei shook his head and said, "The relationship between master and disciple has ended. I also heard some news about him from Bo Yue."

"Don't think I don't know that you, an old fellow, value friendship the most. Haven't you ever told him your fortune in private?"

“This one does…”

"How is the hexagram?"

"It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad, and the details are obscured by a sword energy. I guess this kid must have another opportunity, and someone is deliberately concealing the secret for him."

Taoist Xuancheng sighed, "What a pity for such a good seedling. It would have been much better if he had stayed in our Fuyao Sect."

Su Qing, who was standing by, naturally heard these words and knew that her master was deliberately trying to find out information for her...perhaps he was also trying to give her some advice and persuade her to change her mind.

Su Qing was quite helpless about this. She had said many times that she and Yun Yi were fellow travelers, and that they became friends through the "Dao of Alchemy" and became close friends.

However, most people in the Fuyao Sect do not believe it.

They all saw the scene when Yun Yi was about to die and Su Qing tried to save him at all costs.

Although Boyao missed the good show due to his seclusion, he also felt that Su Qing paid too much attention to Yun Yi.

Some things are too tiring and time-consuming to explain, and over time Su Qing became too lazy to defend himself and simply let them think whatever they wanted.

She saw Bo Yue and a male disciple waving at her not far away, so she apologized to her master and went over there.

When Bo Yue met them, he asked, "When can we have a sparring match? I can't find a suitable opponent in Fuyao Sect right now, but I'm itching to fight."

Su Qing covered her lips and smiled, "I don't practice cultivation to fight bravely. If you want to fight, you should find someone else."

"That won't do. The sect is now full of elders who have reached the Return to Void Realm. Do you expect me to go to jail for no reason?" "If you insist on sparring, that's fine, but you know my forte is alchemy. I'll inevitably resort to some tricks, so please don't hurt the friendship between fellow disciples."

When Bo Yue heard this, he seemed to recall the past that he couldn't bear to look back on. He waved his hands and said, "Forget it then."

Both of them were sent to the sect to practice at a young age, so they were quite familiar with each other. However, one of them was obsessed with alchemy and the other was obsessed with swordsmanship, and they never had any other thoughts.

It has to be said that among the three powerful disciples of Fuyao Sect, only Meng Fan was trapped in love, which is really ridiculous.

Seeing that the disciple seemed to be hesitant to speak, Su Qing took the initiative to ask, "Does this disciple have something to talk to me about?"

Her tone is gentle, no matter who she is talking to, it makes people feel like spring breeze.

The gatekeeper blushed immediately and explained, "An old man came from outside the sect and addressed you as the eldest princess. He also said that he had something of life and death to tell you, Senior Sister."

Unexpectedly, Su Qing's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "Take me there quickly."

She was anxious and cast a spell to take the gatekeeper disciples to the mountain gate.

Taoist Xuancheng witnessed this scene, a sad look flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "Girls can't be kept when they grow up."

Elder Qingwei consoled her, "She has an extraordinary background, so it's natural that she has difficulty severing her earthly ties."

Bo Yue was confused and came over to ask, "What are the two elders talking about? I don't quite understand."

Qing Wei: "You and Su Qing both joined the sect at a young age. Don't you know her background?"

Bo Yue: "She said she was from the countryside and her family couldn't afford to support her, so they sent her to the mountains to earn a living."

Taoist Xuancheng held his forehead and smiled bitterly, thinking that his beloved disciple was really low-key. He never fought or competed with others in his daily life, and even kept his illustrious background so secret.

Su Qing hurried to the mountain gate. Seeing the old man, he was so excited that his voice trembled unconsciously: "Yuan Diao Temple?"

The old man knelt down when he saw Su Qing, and said, "This old minister pays homage to the eldest princess."

"No need to be polite." Su Qing helped the old friend up and sighed: "It's been many years since we last met. You've aged so much."

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings. Princess, don't worry about it."

"You came to the sect looking for me, but something happened in Daxia?"

Yuan Diaosi said with a worried look on his face, "Prince Xian Su Xin has disappeared, and the court is in chaos."

Su Qing heard about this from Bo Yue. He had personally seen a fake King Xian in Fu Sheng Secret Treasure. So, Su Xin was probably in great danger.

Su Qing and Su Xin are half-sisters and their relationship is not close, so they are not too sad about it.

She said, "Is it because Su Xin is no longer holding her back that Su Cen has completely rebelled?"

Yuan Diaosi sighed, "That's exactly what happened. Originally, the two princes kept each other in check, giving Your Majesty a chance to catch his breath. But recently, Prince Duan has been acting more and more outrageously, completely disregarding Your Majesty."

"How dare he do this!"

When talking about the royal family's internal affairs, Su Qing was dignified without being angry, as if he had become a different person.

As the eldest princess of the Great Xia royal family, she was the apple of the late emperor's eye, and the eldest sister of the current young emperor, the closest and most trusted person in his life.

However, with such an identity, it would be inconvenient for her to act in the mountains, so she kept a low profile all year round, concealing her identity, and no one knew about it.
