People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

For some reason, the Grand Master of Fate felt like crying.

Going home seems so far away and unattainable.

Compared to Xianyang in the Qin state, she preferred Shennv Peak, the place that held her childhood and adolescence.

She wanted to see the sunrise and moon at the summit, the streams and springs in the forest, and even more so, the cherry blossom tree she had planted on Goddess Peak.

When the Moon Goddess saw the Great Master of Fate sobbing softly, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her heart softened for some reason.

"What are you crying for! Go cry inside! What kind of behavior is this! What kind of manners are you!"

Although she reprimanded him, she did not continue to criticize the Grand Master of Fate.

"This matter is entrusted to you. If there are any more mistakes, I, the leader of this sect, will take your life, and not even a god can save you!"

The great ups and downs, the great sorrow and the great joy, gradually subsided.

"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely complete the mission!"

……

The Cao residence.

Cao Ze, along with the in-joyed Yan Fei and Jing Ni, returned to the mansion.

When I saw Zhuanhun Miepo, the Black and White Sisters, and Liwu Yanlingji each holding long, thin chains and binding the innocent-looking Nüying, I felt a strange sense of amusement.

“Nuying, you…”

"Oh! Sir, you know about my sister?"

Cao Ze paused for a moment. "Ehuang has come online?"

"...Are you Ehuang?"

Ehuang opened her beautiful eyes, still tinged with red, and said, "Yes."

Yan Lingji pouted, "So it's a different person. No wonder you weren't resisting."

Before Cao Ze and the other two returned, Nv Ying, who had been crying and whining, suddenly went crazy and tried to run out, shouting that she wanted to see Cao Ze.

Of course, they wouldn't let Nüying escape, so they bound her with the chained chains that the Soul-Transforming and Soul-Destroying Sisters possessed.

Although Nüying's strength as a half-step Grandmaster was not weak, and her soul was comparable to the peak of a Grandmaster, she was still temporarily trapped by the four first-rate and two second-rate experts.

They thought it would be a fierce battle, but to their surprise, the bound Nüying suddenly stopped resisting and let them tie her up.

At this moment, Cao Ze returned.

Ehuang struggled against the iron chains binding her, and said uncomfortably, "Could you untie me? I'm not feeling well..."

Cao Ze coughed lightly and said, "After I untie you, where are you going?"

"Go back to the Yin-Yang School. The Moon Goddess Sect Leader hasn't told me where Shunjun is yet."

Cao Ze paused for a moment, then waved his hand, "Tie it up tightly and take it to my room."

He's not that stupid; he doesn't want Lady Xiang, who ran over, to run back to the Yin-Yang School.

Li Wu glanced at the serious-looking Cao Ze and whispered to Yan Lingji, "He's going to make a move on other women again, do you believe it or not?"

Yan Lingji sneered, "Why don't you believe it? Didn't he say that a virgin's first time is the best?"

Although Li Wu and Yan Ling Ji spoke in a low voice, all the women present were powerful experts and heard it clearly.

Facing seven or eight pairs of beautiful eyes, Cao Ze remained completely calm and shamelessly asked, "What are you all looking at?!"

"I'm helping Yanfei!"

The women all looked on in disbelief.

After a short while, Ehuang, wrapped up in a ball, was carried by the black and white sisters and placed on Cao Ze's bed.

Seeing Ehuang's "woo woo woo" appearance, Cao Ze thought for a moment and decided not to find the smelly socks from last night to stuff Ehuang with.

“Ehuang, look who she is.”

Yan Fei clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, her face cold and elegant.

"It's...it's Lord Dongjun."

Ehuang said somewhat fearfully.

"Alright, now that we know each other, you will be Lord Dongjun's subordinate from now on, understand?"

Ehuang said "Oh," and then added, "I understand."

"You agree?" Cao Ze had to ask another question.

"I agree. I have always been Lord Dongjun's subordinate."

Ehuang looked at Cao Ze with her big eyes and said this.

Cao Ze grinned, seemingly forgetting that Ehuang was acting strangely.

"Then what are you to the moon goddess?"

"Your subordinate."

Ehuang gave an unexpected yet perfectly reasonable answer.

Cao Ze threatened, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and one person cannot serve two masters. You can only choose one person to be your subordinate."

After a moment of distress, Ehuang said, "If that's the case, I'll choose to become the leader of the Moon Goddess Sect."

Cao Ze glanced at Yan Fei, whose eyes held a hint of helplessness. She didn't know how to communicate with someone like Ehuang.

"Help me..." Yan Fei's lips moved slightly as she whispered.

Cao Ze had a slight toothache and didn't like dealing with people who came from mental hospitals.

Why choose the Moon Goddess Cult Leader?

Cao Ze chose to try and get information out of her first.

Ehuang, trusting no one, said very honestly, "The Moon Goddess said that she already has a clue about Shunjun, and we only need to wait another six months."

Half a year after half a year, who knows how many years it will take... Cao Ze muttered to himself.

Anyone with a brain can see that the Moon Goddess is just fooling the ghost.

Do you know what a prisoner of war is?

Ehuang tilted her head. "What does 'captive' mean?"

Cao Ze couldn't help but rub Ehuang's little head, "It means you're mine now."

"Oh, I see. Okay, I'm yours now."

Cao Ze smiled and said, "Now that you're mine, you can't leave anymore."

Ehuang said with distress, "But I need to go to the Moon Goddess and wait for her to tell me the whereabouts of Shunjun."

Cao Ze said slowly, "Isn't there still half a year left? Anyway, you won't know until half a year later, so can't I do it now?"

"That's true."

Ehuang laughed happily.

Yanfei looked at Ehuang with the same look she would give someone mentally challenged.

She could hardly believe that such people existed.

Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Yan Fei, "It's all settled. She won't leave for at least six months."

Yanfei sighed softly, "How did Lady Xiang end up like this?"

Cao Ze shrugged. "If you don't know, how would I know? Maybe Xiang Jun knows."

"Oh, by the way, do you know Xiangjun?"

Yan Fei shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that he and Lady Xiang are in Xiaoxiang Valley."

"Now that Lady Xiang has come out, Lord Xiang should no longer be there."

Cao Zedao said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. Then why did Xiangjun leave Xiaoxiang Valley?"

He suddenly remembered that when Ehuang first came to his door, she told him that Xiangjun had left Xiaoxiang Valley and come to Xianyang to find him, and that she said he was an old friend of Xiangjun.

He knew perfectly well that this was just the Moon Goddess's nonsense to fool the ghosts.

But now that I think about it, it seems he has been ignoring Xiangjun all along.

Even Donghuang Taiyi is dead now, but Xiangjun is still hiding his tracks, giving off a mysterious vibe.

"Cao Ze, someone from the palace is looking for you."

Yan Lingji's voice, like that of a lark singing, came from the trees outside the house.

She and Li Wu were sitting in the tree, spying on what was happening inside Cao Ze's house.

Their anticipated scene of Cao Ze visiting Lady Xiang failed to materialize, leaving them quite frustrated.

Cao Ze initially thought it was Zhang Han and Gai Nie who were looking for him. After all, Zheng Guo had been brought to Xianyang last night, and Zhang Han must have informed Ying Zheng. It was perfectly normal for Ying Zheng to look for him today.

But when he saw the person, he realized it was Zhao Gao and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Gao smiled effeminately, “I have two orders: the King summons you to Zhangtai Palace, and the Empress Dowager also orders you to go to Ganquan Palace.”

"Where do you plan to go first, sir?"

Cao Ze didn't even blink, and said, "Of course we should go to Zhangtai Palace first; the king's orders are of utmost importance."

Is he the kind of person who would neglect his career for a woman?

She's just a woman!

We can't let women slow down our progress!

He followed Zhao Gao to Zhangtai Palace and chatted with him idly.

"Brother Zhao, how are things at Zhangtai Palace?"

Zhao Gao laughed and said, "Thanks to your kind words, sir, and thanks to the King's trust, I am doing alright in the Zhangtai Palace."

Cao Ze patted Zhao Gao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Zhao, a man should have ambition and not be satisfied with this."

"You must believe that you can climb to the top step by step. I'll be waiting for you on the mountain."
