Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 51 Three days later, I will hear the news of the death of that little bastard

Seeing the reward in front of him, Lu Ming was stunned.

Does this count as two rewards this time?
After Lu Ming came to his senses, he immediately clicked on the reward in front of him. The next moment, some knowledge about the formation flooded into Lu Ming's mind.

After obtaining this formation knowledge, Lu Ming finally understood why he was rewarded with basic formation knowledge before being rewarded with the Spirit Gathering Formation.

The arrangement of the formation is very complicated and requires a lot of things.

To set up the most common formation, a lot of materials are needed.

Take the Spirit Gathering Formation for example. This Spirit Gathering Formation can be said to be the most basic formation, but a large amount of materials are needed to set up this formation.

The most important of these is the spirit stone.

After feeling the arrangement of the spirit gathering array, Lu Ming rubbed his temples. At present, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to obtain spirit stones.

However, he must set up the spirit gathering formation. This is a martial arts world with thin spiritual energy. After his practice these days, the spiritual energy around Xiaoyao Palace has been almost exhausted. Without spiritual energy, he has no way to continue practicing, which greatly limits the improvement of his strength.

At this time, the voice of the maid Xiaohuan sounded at the door, "My king, do you want to take a bath?"

Lu Ming said, "Yes, go and prepare."

Then several of Lu Ming's personal maids entered the room, some cleaned the room, and some gave Lu Ming a bath.

……

Baihualou.

Wu Qionggui stood in the attic on the third floor, looking in the direction of Xiaoyao Palace with a gloomy expression. Her shriveled skin was wrinkled together, looking very scary.

The servants said that Dongfang Liyue would be back at noon, but it was already evening and Dongfang Liyue had not returned yet. According to the information brought back by the spies around Xiaoyao Palace, Dongfang Liyue had not come out since she entered Xiaoyao Palace.

This made Wu Qionggui once again doubt whether Dongfang Liyue was going to betray their master, but with the unhatched poisonous insect around, Dongfang Liyue should not be so bold.

However, she didn't understand why Dongfang Liyue stayed in Xiaoyao Palace for a whole day after entering it. Could it be that she encountered some trouble in Xiaoyao Palace?
Just when Wu Qionggui was thinking about whether to take people to break into Xiaoyao Palace at night, he saw a red carriage on the street in the distance slowly driving towards Baihua Tower.

Wu Qionggui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Dongfang Liyue's carriage.

At this moment, Dongfang Liyue was sitting in the carriage, thinking about what to do in the future. She had now broken free from her constraints and had the ability to barely gain a foothold in the martial arts world.

But for now, she absolutely cannot escape directly. Once she escapes directly and is discovered by that person, he will definitely send someone to assassinate her.

Just now when she left Xiaoyao Palace, she thought about escaping from the capital directly, but she soon remembered that there were spies from Baihua Tower near Xiaoyao Palace. If she really did that, it would not take long for the people who were chasing her to come.

That person has some masters under his command, and there is a high probability that he himself is also a master.

The safest way now is to continue staying in Baihua Tower and find an opportunity to leave the capital. As long as she leaves the capital safely, she will immediately find a place to hide. By then, neither that person nor Lu Ming will be able to do anything to her.

Just as Dongfang Liyue was thinking about her escape plan, the groom's voice came, "Master, we're here."

After Dongfang Liyue came to her senses, she immediately got off the carriage.

As soon as she reached the third floor, she found Wu Qionggui waiting for her in the attic. Wu Qionggui said respectfully, "Master, why did you go to Xiaoyao Palace alone and stay there all day?"

Wu Qionggui was not only her subordinate, but also the one arranged by the man to monitor her. Naturally, Wu Qionggui was very concerned about her abnormality.

Dongfang Liyue remained calm and said, "My Lord, it's not because I haven't completed my mission that I went to Prince Xiaoyao's mansion again today to inquire with Prince Xiaoyao about immortal arts and immortal pills."

After hearing Dongfang Liyue's answer, Wu Qionggui said, "Master, the Xiaoyao Palace is heavily guarded right now. You should have asked me to come with you before you went there."

Dongfang Liyue said nonchalantly, "It's just a second-grade one, no danger at all."

"I asked Lu Ming some detailed questions today, and I really didn't find out the whereabouts of the immortal technique. My Lord, you can send someone to search the Xiaoyao Palace again."

The meaning of Dongfang Liyue's words was very clear. If they didn't believe her, then they would send someone to Xiaoyao Palace to verify whether what she said was true.

Dongfang Liyue walked directly towards her room at this time, and said as she walked: "I'm tired. Granny Wu, you'd better report today's news to the master, so that the master won't worry too much." There was a hint of displeasure in Dongfang Liyue's tone at this time. Wu Qionggui thought that Dongfang Liyue was angry after being scolded by the master, so she didn't say anything more.

Dongfang Liyue then returned to her room, and Wu Qionggui turned around and left Baihua Tower without any hesitation.

……

Lu Mansion.

In the lobby.

The man was behind the curtain, and the cold moonlight came over the windowsill, casting the man's back on the curtain.

Wu Qionggui gave their master a complete report of what happened today.

After hearing Wu Qionggui's words, the man sneered, "It takes a whole day to get some information?"

"Do you really think I don't know that she went off to have sex with that little bastard?"

When he said this, the pressure from the man was suddenly released. Wu Qionggui was so scared that she knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.

Wu Qionggui just repeated Dongfang Liyue's words and did not say anything else. In fact, she also smelled some strange smells from Dongfang Liyue's body, and guessed in her heart that Dongfang Liyue had gone to Xiaoyao Palace to practice dual cultivation with Lu Ming.

The charm that Dongfang Liyue cultivated determined that she had to find a man to practice dual cultivation with. Obviously, Dongfang Liyue was attracted by Lu Ming's identity as the descendant of the immortal and thought that Lu Ming was an excellent cauldron.

After a while, the man withdrew his imposing aura. He said indifferently, "Tell her to forget about this month's Gu-insect inhibitor."

"In three days, I will hear the news of that little bastard's death."

"Also, let Dongfang Liyue never forget how her master died!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared behind the curtain.

After feeling that the man's breath had disappeared, Wu Qionggui slowly stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then returned to Baihua Tower.

……

A room in Baihua Tower.

Zhang Zhiqiang was moving vigorously. He lay on the woman's neck, took a deep breath and said, "Jiaojiao, what did you soak in the bath today? Your body smells so good. I can't stop."

Most of the people who come to Baihua Tower are dignitaries, and most of those who can spend the night with those top courtesans are also people of status and position.

But Zhang Zhiqiang was just a servant in the Zhang family and he had no status.

But he has done a lot of shameful things for the Zhang family over the years. He was treated very well in the Zhang family and was able to access some secrets of the Zhang family. After he came to Baihualou, he was able to chat and confide in some of the top courtesans. After all, Baihualou also knew that a family with Tianshu had a lot of shameful information in their hands.

The courtesan known as Jiaojiao said weakly, "I didn't soak anything, I just put on some perfume."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang stopped and asked curiously, "Perfume, what is that?"

The courtesan replied, "That's something our host brought back from Xiaoyao Palace yesterday. It's a perfume sachet. After applying the perfume, my body will smell fragrant all day long."

Zhang Zhiqiang was slightly stunned. Something brought back from Xiaoyao Palace?

After Zhang Zhiqiang came back to his senses, he continued, "Jiaojiao, can I see that thing called perfume?"

The courtesan didn't hesitate, she reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle from under the pillow next to her.

Zhang Zhiqiang took the small porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, and smelled it. A rich fragrance rushed into Zhang Zhiqiang's nostrils.

Zhang Zhiqiang corked the bottle tightly and asked again, "Is this really from the Xiaoyao Palace?"

The courtesan replied, "Yes, this was purchased by our host from the Xiaoyao Palace. It's said to be very expensive, and it won't be long before the Xiaoyao Palace sells it."
