Chapter 428 This is really too embarrassing (4000 words)
Jiang Qingyi walked down the steps in front of the door and stood beside Si Li, her eyes scanning Si Li's surroundings.

Si Li lowered her head and placed her hands in front of her, looking extremely frightened.

"Calm down. Calm down. I have a treasure given to me by Wang Xin. There's no way the other party can see my cultivation level."

As Si Li was being scrutinized by this sword immortal who had ascended to the Ascension Realm, her heart began to beat faster and faster.

But Si Li forced herself to calm down.

Before entering the palace, to ensure everything went smoothly, Wang Xin entrusted him with a semi-divine weapon called the "Heaven-Covering Pearl" that she possessed.

With this Heaven-Covering Pearl, as long as I don't use spiritual power or magic, I won't be noticed by the Zhou Kingdom's imperial palace's mountain and river fortune.

Moreover, even if a cultivator at the Ascension Realm stood in front of him, the other party would not be able to detect his cultivation level.

Even with the Heaven-Covering Pearl concealing him, his secret disguise technique from Ten Thousand Flowers Peak has reached a new level, making him extremely unlikely to be discovered!
After circling around Si Li twice, Jiang Qingyi shifted her gaze from Si Li to Xiao Mo:
"Your Majesty truly has excellent taste. Countless people would be envious of this woman's figure."

After speaking, Jiang Qingyi sat back down on the stone bench, poured herself a cup of tea, and said with displeasure, "What brings Your Majesty to the National Preceptor's residence today? Could it be that you have found a new favorite and are here to show off in front of me?"

"You flatter me, Fairy Jiang." Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head. "I have come here today to ask you something."

"Oh?" Jiang Qingyi raised her eyes slightly. "What is it?"

"When I was in the library before, I read in a book that there are some techniques in this world that can make people speak the truth," Xiao Mo asked directly, without hiding anything from Si Li beside him.

"Tell the truth?" Jiang Qingyi glanced at Si Li. "What do you mean?"

"Literally, this palace maid is named Si Li. When she saw me yesterday, she directly said that she was sent by the Empress Dowager to monitor me, but she said that she was loyal to me and had no disloyal intentions."

Xiao Mo explained.

"But Fairy Jiang also knows that there are many things I have to be wary of in this harem, so I came here to ask Fairy Jiang if she knows this type of magic, to test whether Si Li is lying."

Jiang Qingyi glanced at the woman with the exaggerated figure and said indifferently, "Does Your Majesty think that as long as a person has a high cultivation level, they can do anything?"

"There are some general techniques that most people will naturally learn as their cultivation level increases, but this technique of revealing the truth is the specialty of Taoist or Yin-Yang practitioners."

Jiang Qingyi turned her head away.

"I am a sword cultivator. I do not know this kind of technique, nor do I deign to learn it. If there is any suspect, I would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. I will kill them with one sword. Why would I need to be so indecisive like Your Majesty?"

"Alright, then I'll take my leave." Xiao Mo wasn't exactly disappointed; if the other party didn't know how, he would find another way.

"and many more."

Just as Xiao Mo turned to leave, Jiang Qingyi called out from behind him.

Jiang Qingyi stood up and walked to Xiao Mo's side with an annoyance: "I also know other spells that can help Your Majesty. Why did Your Majesty leave so quickly?"

"What kind of magic?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.

“Naturally, it’s soul searching.” Jiang Qingyi looked at Si Li and sneered, “Once the soul is searched, everything will be clear. Isn’t that more effective than revealing the truth?”

Upon hearing that she was about to have her soul searched, Si Li's heart tightened, and she involuntarily took a step back.

"Are there any side effects?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Yes, at best, one loses some memory; at worst, one becomes demented. The degree varies from person to person," Jiang Qingyi said indifferently.

Xiao Mo turned his head and glanced at Si Li.

Si Li nervously clutched her fragrant sleeves, her face slightly pale.

"Never mind." Xiao Mo shook his head, rejecting Jiang Qingyi's suggestion.

"Oh? Your Majesty can't bear to part with your beauty?" Jiang Qingyi crossed her arms.

“If she is truly loyal to me, and my suspicions have caused her to become mentally impaired, I would feel uneasy,” Xiao Mo explained.

As Si Li listened to Xiao Mo's explanation, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at his profile, her bright eyes rippling with emotion.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty is so kind, how will you seize power in the future?"

Jiang Qingyi sneered and tossed a small box into his storage bag.

Xiao Mo opened the box, inside was a small flying sword about the length of an embroidery needle, with a piece of white paper with a spell written on it attached to the bottom of the sword.

Jiang Qingyi ignored Xiao Mo, turned and walked into the room, her voice coming from behind her:

"This sword is called the Heart-Piercing Sword. It is a seventh-grade magic weapon. I obtained it when I passed through a certain place and casually destroyed a demonic sect. The effects of the flying sword and how to use this miniature flying sword are written on the white paper. Your Majesty, please take a look."

As the woman's voice faded, the door closed, and the courtyard fell silent once more.

"Thank you very much, Fairy Jiang."

Xiao Mo bowed to the room, accepted the box, and led Si Li out of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Back in the palace, Si Li helped Xiao Mo remove his coat, then poured him a cup of tea, pouting slightly with a hint of displeasure in her expression.
"This Imperial Advisor is really something. Just because he's a cultivator, does that make him so great? How dare he speak to Your Majesty in such an attitude!"

Xiao Mo took the teacup and smiled: "Miss Jiang is just like that, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. She may seem cold on the surface and her words may be unforgiving, but she is actually very kind-hearted. If she can really help, she won't refuse."

After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Mo opened the box and took out the flying sword and the white paper.

Just as Fairy Jiang said, this sword is a seventh-grade magic weapon, which is just right for her to use with her current cultivation level.

All he had to do was drip a drop of his own blood onto this miniature flying sword, and then plunge it into Si Li's brow.

So if he asks Si Li anything, she has to answer truthfully, otherwise she will suffer heart-wrenching pain.

In addition, after the long sword was inserted into Si Li, she had to receive a wisp of her own sword energy every day.

If one is not exposed to sword energy for more than three days, this long sword will disrupt one's meridians, causing one to die suddenly.

Of course, this magical artifact is only useful for those in the Qi Refining stage and ordinary people.

But that's enough.

"She also said she didn't understand the spell 'Truth Revealed'." Looking at the longsword, Xiao Mo shook his head speechlessly.

However, the Imperial Preceptor Jiang wasn't exactly lying to herself, because she genuinely didn't know how, and instead gave herself a magical artifact to use instead.

Setting down his flying sword, Xiao Mo handed the white paper in his hand to Si Li: "Take a look for yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Si Li took it and read it carefully.

As she read, Si Li's eyes showed a hint of nervousness.

"So? Are you willing?" Xiao Mo asked. "If you're not willing, that's fine too. After all, palace maids like you have no choice in what you do. I'll send you out of the palace and I can save your life."

"This servant is willing!" Si Li knelt before Xiao Mo. "This servant has always been devoted to Your Majesty and has no selfish motives whatsoever!"

"it is good."

Xiao Mo nodded, then pierced his fingertip with the tip of his sword, dripping a drop of blood onto the small sword.

As the incantation was recited, the small sword trembled incessantly and floated in the air.

"go."

With a flick of Xiao Mo's sword tip, the miniature flying sword transformed into a streak of light and pierced Si Li's brow.

However, the moment the flying sword entered Si Li's brow, it was suppressed by spiritual power and could not exert any effect at all. Si Li could even destroy it at any time.

"Were you sent by the Empress Dowager?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Si Li replied truthfully.

Seeing that Si Li did not react, Xiao Mo continued to ask, "Are you really going to be loyal to me and not betray me?"

"This servant is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty. No matter what happens, I will never betray Your Majesty," Si Li said again, her eyes filled with sincerity.

Seeing that Si Li still didn't react, Xiao Mo nodded in satisfaction, knowing that what she said was true. "Tell me, what do you want most right now?" Xiao Mo continued to ask.

"This servant...this servant doesn't want anything. This servant only wants to serve Your Majesty well."

And just as Si Li finished speaking.

Si Li frowned, biting her thin lips tightly. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead as she gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently with each gasp.

"Mmm."

Si Li clenched her fists tightly and fell to the ground, her cheeks flushed with an alluring blush.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant..."

Her eyes were unfocused as she looked at Xiao Mo, and every word she spoke seemed to be filled with immense pain.

Beneath the skirt, her rounded and supple legs intertwined, rubbing against each other incessantly.

Seeing Si Li like this, Xiao Mo was taken aback.

Compared to the pain described on paper, which is caused by sword energy disrupting the meridians.

Xiao Mo felt that Si Li seemed to have been drugged with aphrodisiacs.

If it weren't for my own practice of the Mind-Calming Technique, and the fact that the rewards from the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes have greatly strengthened my mind...

Otherwise, given her current state of being so easily exploited, I might not have been able to maintain my integrity.

A full cup of tea's time passed before Si Li's pain seemed to gradually lessen, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

"Speak, what do you want?" Xiao Mo asked again.

Si Li shakily propped herself up from the ground and sat sideways, her palace dress clinging tightly to her graceful figure.

"Servant"

Si Li's face showed a hint of hesitation, and her voice sounded extremely guilty.

"This servant desires to be favored by His Majesty."

"From the moment I saw Your Majesty, my heart has belonged to you. I have never felt this way before. It is just like falling in love at first sight in a book. I am willing to do anything as long as I can be with Your Majesty."

"This servant has just deceived Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me, but this servant truly did not know how to say it."

"This is...this is so embarrassing."

The more Si Li spoke, the more her blush spread across her face, as if red ink had stained a water vat, her fair ears and neck turning bright red.

Hearing her words, Xiao Mo was speechless for a moment.

I thought she was hiding something.

The result was unexpected.

What she wanted was him!

"I forgive you for your crime, rise," Xiao Mo said to Si Li.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Si Li stood up and timidly straightened her disheveled clothes.

"I know of your loyalty. From this day forward, you are truly mine." Xiao Mo looked earnestly into her eyes. "Rest assured, as long as I am here, I will do everything in my power to protect you and will never mistreat you."

Xiao Mo poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party: "However, I still need to keep the miniature flying sword in your body. I will take it out after the great matter is accomplished."

Si Li accepted the teacup with both hands: "Actually, Your Majesty does not need to take out this flying sword. This servant can keep this flying sword for the rest of my life without any problems."

Xiao Mo: "Why?"

"Because I am His Majesty's person, and I have always wanted to be by His Majesty's side, what difference does it make whether I have this flying sword or not?"

Si Li smiled brightly.

"Moreover, as long as the flying sword is there, Your Majesty will need to frequently infuse sword energy into my body, and I will be able to see Your Majesty more often."

"."

Looking at the woman's innocent smile, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

She trusts and is so loyal to him, yet he still keeps the flying sword in case she changes her mind.

Why do I feel like I'm not being human?
"Go and get some rest," Xiao Mo said, waving his hand as he composed himself.

"It is Your Majesty."

Si Li bowed and withdrew.

After leaving Xiao Mo's palace, Si Li returned to her own room to rest.

As Xiao Mo's personal maid, Si Li lived only a wall away from his palace, so that she could get to his side as soon as possible.

"My acting just now was passable."

Recalling her actions just now, Si Li felt that there should be no oversights.

"As things stand, my master should have completely trusted me by now."

"And then, as long as I solidify this trust, I will be able to get closer and closer to my master's heart."

"Maybe then, I'll be able to do what my master and I didn't get to do before."

The more Si Li thought about it, the more she felt that her plan was feasible.

However, Si Li quickly frowned.

Within Si Li's storage bag, a magical artifact sensed something.

Si Li took the magical artifact out of her storage bag.

This is a jade plate.

Gradually, engravings appeared on the smooth jade plate, quickly forming characters—

"How is it? Are there any clues about my senior brother's reincarnation in the Zhou Kingdom?"

This sentence was written by Yu Yunwei, the sect leader of the Wandao Sect.

Si Li extended her finger, ready to respond.

But just as Si Li's fingertips touched the jade plate, she paused.

Si Li's foxy eyes darted left and right before she finally wrote on it: "I haven't found the master yet. I'm still gathering information."

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard on the western outskirts of the Zhou capital.

A woman dressed in ordinary linen clothes sat on a stone bench, looking up at the azure sky.

"Migu Migu."

Chaos flew to Wangxin's shoulder and nuzzled her cheek.

“I know that Sister Si Li has been in the palace for almost a month.” Wang Xin took Chaos off her shoulder, placed it on her lap, and stroked its head. “Don’t worry, Sister Si Li is very capable and nothing will happen to her.”

"but."

Wang Xin blinked gently, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Sister Si Li has been in the palace for so long, why hasn't she sent me any news yet?"
