The villain queen's close minister

"I guess it's the same for Master."

When Su An said this, he showed a nostalgic smile, but in Mu Ningzhen's eyes, that smile looked treacherous no matter how you looked at it.

Combined with the words just now, it was a blatant threat, as if saying, Master, you don’t want others to know what happened between us.

What a headache!

Why did this kid come to Qingzhou again?

Mu Ningzhen was helpless: "Okay, call me whatever you want."

Gong Xuanqing, who was standing by, was stunned watching the interaction between the two.

Why do I feel...their relationship is a little subtle.

Master Mu was not angry even though his cousin acted so casually and unrestrainedly.

And there is Master and Teacher, what is the relationship between these two?

"Is this your cousin?"

Mu Ningzhen looked at Gong Xuanqing and suddenly said.

She noticed Su An as soon as he entered the Tianshui Holy Land. Then she focused her mind on Su An and naturally knew Gong Xuanqing's identity from their conversation.

"Yes, this is my cousin, from the Xuanzhou Gong family." Su An introduced.

"Junior Gong Xuanqing pays his respects to Master Mu." Gong Xuanqing did not dare to be as presumptuous as Su An. He performed the etiquette of a junior very strictly, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Not bad." Mu Ningzhen's eyes showed appreciation.

Then he glanced at Su An again. How could such a lawless boy have such a well-behaved cousin?

I don’t even know how to learn from them.

Chapter 100: Go to Tiandao Sect to see the scenery

Gong Xuanqing was slightly excited, this was recognition from the Venerable Yuanshen!

"Master, what do you think? My cousin has good talent, right?" Su An put her arm around Gong Xuanqing's shoulders. Such close contact made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Just say whatever you want to say. Don't beat around the bush." ​​Mu Ningzhen rolled her eyes at Su An.

"Hehe, Master, my cousin has always admired you since she heard about your deeds, and now... blah blah." Su An put his hands on Gong Xuanqing's shoulders and pushed her forward.

Mu Ningzhen raised her eyebrows, but she understood what Su An meant, "Do you want me to accept her as my apprentice?"

Gong Xuanqing was also stunned. He didn't even care about the hand on his shoulder and looked at Su An in surprise.

Her cousin hadn't told her about becoming his disciple in advance.

Then she looked at Mu Ningzhen with some expectation. Would Master Mu really agree?

To have a master from the Supreme Being is something that many people desire but cannot obtain.

Mu Ningzhen hesitated for a moment. When she was in the Pure Yang realm, many aristocratic families wanted to give their daughters to her. Not to mention after she achieved the Yuan Shen realm, there were countless people who wanted to become her disciples, and many of them were very talented, but she didn't agree to any of them.

But since it was Su An's request this time...

Never mind, just consider it as compensation to him.

What's more, Gong Xuanqing's talent is indeed good.

"Stay and take a look first." She nodded.

Su An smiled when he heard this and pushed forward: "Xuanqing, why don't you thank your master quickly."

Gong Xuanqing looked at Su An gratefully, then knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully, "Disciple greets Master!"

“Get up.” Mu Ningzhen lifted him up with his magic power, which was regarded as accepting this disciple.

Let’s not talk about how Aunt Mo excitedly reported to the Gong family after learning that her young lady had become Master Mu’s disciple.

Let’s talk about the imperial capital.

"Lingzu, have you not yet been able to confirm the news about the man in black robe?"

On the throne, Su Ruoxi had an ugly expression on her face.

The old woman whom Su Ruoxi called the Spirit Ancestor shook her head slightly and said, "With the four of us taking action, it should have been foolproof, but in the end, a great force came across space and took away the black-robed soul. The guiding light was really mysterious, and we couldn't catch up."

Lingzu was one of the four souls who took action at the beginning. He was also the soul master who truly protected Su Ruoxi and the royal ancestor who was at the peak of the soul level.

The other three, two are royal spirits, and the other is the great general who guards the country, Duke Wu of Wu, all of whom are powerful spirits.

With the help of four powerful souls and the black bird's luck, the man in black was eventually led away, but he was also seriously injured.

However, Su Ruoxi was not satisfied with this result.

"Little... Lord Su risked his life to lure out the enemy! Can't we even confirm the enemy's identity?"

"Xiao An is indeed a good kid." Ling Zu nodded, a bit of kindness on his old face. After a pause, he said, "Your Majesty, after our deduction of the previous battle, the identity of the man in black robe seems to be related to the Tiandao Sect, but this result may not be necessarily accurate."

"If we act rashly, it might arouse the vigilance of other sects and holy places." The fact that she could say the name of Tiandao Sect was already 70% certain, and the next sentence was the key point.

If Da Shang attacks the Tian Dao Sect, it will inevitably lead other sects to mistakenly believe that Da Shang wants to take action against their sects.

"Tian Dao Sect!" Su Ruoxi slammed the throne suddenly, her eyes suddenly turning cold.

"Order Xuanzhou Xuanniao Division to immediately blockade Tiandao Sect, and order the Xuanniao Division commander to personally supervise the inspection. Also, ask Chengzu to come over."

"If anyone from other sects dares to support the Tiandao Sect, they will be considered its accomplices and will be punished together with it!" Her voice contained the arrogance and majesty that she rarely showed in front of Su An.

She wanted to see what that "sky" was.

Hongshao took the order and went down to inform.

Ling Zu nodded and did not object. She was simply stating the pros and cons. The one who really made the decision was Su Ruoxi. Even though she was not mature enough, she was the master of the Shang Dynasty.

As for those sects, if they are really ignorant, just suppress them.

"Have you found out any news about Lord Su?" Su Ruoxi asked Qing Ling this time.

"Your Majesty, according to the spies from the Xuanniao Division, Lord Su seemed to have appeared at the Xiao family in Qingzhou, and then went to the Tianshui Holy Land."

The Xuanniao Division was well-informed and had a strong intelligence presence. In addition, Su Ruoxi had issued a strict order to search the entire Shang Dynasty to find the person, so Su An's figure, which was not well concealed, was soon discovered.

"Tianshui Holy Land? It's barely safe." Hearing that Su An was fine, the empress's frown gradually relaxed.

In the Tianshui Holy Land, with Mu Ningzhen protecting us, there shouldn't be any problems.

To be honest, when Su An asked Higanbana to hand the clay figurine to her and asked her to keep an eye on it, she didn't think that she would be able to lure out the person behind it.

But out of concern, he still notified several souls in the imperial capital.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Anzi really gave her a scare, and the person behind the scenes took action personally.

You know, when her father died in an "accident", the royal family realized that someone was behind the scenes, but unfortunately they couldn't find the person after trying many ways.

As a result, the man was lured out by Xiao Anzi by using himself as bait.

I don’t know where Xiao Anzi got such great appeal that he could provoke Yuanshen to take action personally.

……

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Looking at the empress dowager standing in front of her Taiyuan Palace with a fighting spirit, the empress who had just returned opened her mouth slightly.

"It's nothing. I just want to go back to Xuanzhou to visit my relatives, so I told you." Gong Yueru smiled kindly.

The empress's eyebrows jumped. With such a strong desire to fight, he said he was going to visit his parents?

It's almost like killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice.

"You know?" she asked tentatively.

"Shouldn't I know?" Gong Yueru asked back.

Although Su Ruoxi did not tell her about it, how could something that happened near the imperial capital be hidden from a soul?

"So you're going?"

"Let's go to Tiandao Sect to see the scenery."

Well, now the Queen Mother even knows the culprit.

"You really care about Xiao Anzi!" The empress said this and felt a little jealous.

The Queen Mother always favors Xiao Anzi.

For example, when she was a child, she just kneaded Xiao Anzi a little bit, and Xiao Anzi ran to the Cining Palace crying. The queen mother called her over and spanked her, and only stopped after Xiao Anzi begged for mercy.

Although she continued to knead her, it also resulted in her being beaten frequently by her mother.

In fact, she was a little jealous of Xiao Anzi at that time, jealous that he had taken her mother away.

Until later, he accidentally saw Xiao Anzi having a conflict with the third prince because of him.

Chapter 101: The Door to All Wonders

Xiao Anzi was a lonely little kid, skinny and small, only as tall as his chest, and was beaten up by the Third Prince and a dozen half-grown kids who were taller and stronger than him.

The little head was stepped into the mud pit, the fair face became bruised and swollen, the exposed arm was broken, and the white bones protruded from the skin, but he was stubborn and didn't say a word, unwilling to say a bad word about himself as the third prince requested.

After that, she accepted this younger brother in her heart.

And tell him solemnly: From now on you are under my protection, my brother, no one can bully you except me!

Of course, Xiao Anzi probably fainted at that time and didn't hear these words. In short, from then on, she liked to knead Xiao Anzi even more.

After rescuing the half-dead Xiao Anzi and bringing him back to the Cining Palace, the queen mother, upon learning of this, sent the third prince's mother to the cold palace with a cold face.

As for the third prince now, he seems to be reclaiming wasteland in Huangzhou. No one knows whether he is dead or not.

I have to mention here that the Third Prince is the eldest prince's younger brother, and the eldest prince and Su Ruoxi are the only two of the previous emperor's descendants who have the talent to cultivate their souls and have the right of inheritance. Su Ruoxi has a stronger talent and a more upright background, while the eldest prince only has a slight advantage in age, and is suppressed by Su Ruoxi in other aspects.

The third prince took action out of the desire to vent his brother's anger.

Later, Su Ruoxi gained the support of the royal ancestor and quickly ascended the throne, ending their brief and dramatic struggle.

But Xiao Anzi was almost beaten to death at that time.

He was young and weak, and had not really started practicing. In addition, most of the Third Prince and the others had already practiced, so they did not care about the severity of their attacks. Xiao Anzi's heart meridians were even damaged, and most healing pills were unusable. Even if he could recover from his injuries, it might affect Xiao Anzi's future practice.

In the end, it was the Queen Mother who personally took action to stabilize Xiao Anzi's injuries, and captured a rebuilt Life Pill Flower Demon to refine a furnace of Creation Pills, and only then was Xiao Anzi rescued intact.

"Well, I haven't exercised for a long time. I almost forgot that I was once known as the number one prodigy in Xuanzhou."

Gong Yueru's smile grew brighter, and her fighting spirit and murderous intent grew stronger.

The overall strength of the cultivation community in Xuanzhou is far greater than that in Qingzhou and Dongzhou. If Gong Yue can be called the number one prodigy in Xuanzhou, how could her talent be weak?

You have to know that although the Gong family is not bad, it is not a top family. Gong Yueru was able to become the queen because of her strong talent, which is only slightly inferior to that of the late emperor.

She is about the same age as the late emperor, but only slightly weaker in strength.

She has lived in the palace for many years and has never slacked off in her cultivation. Even without Su An's elixir, it is only a matter of time before she achieves the state of a primordial spirit.

Su Ruoxi was a little dazed. Such a queen mother was really rare. She was used to seeing her mother's calmness and gentleness and her kind look in front of Xiao Anzi. But in fact, her mother was just a young person who was less than two hundred years old.

The Queen Mother set out for Xuanzhou, and Chengzu and the people from the Xuanniao Division also set out.

For the soul, riding in the immortal boat is a sheer waste of time. It can just tear the space to go wherever it wants to go. A long journey will only add a little trouble.

However, Su An doesn't know this yet.

……

Deep within the Tiandao Sect.

The Taoist who noticed the movements of Xuanniaosi looked slightly gloomy, and his pale face looked even more like a ghost under the dim natural light.

"As expected of someone who can disrupt destiny, he actually schemed against me."

"And those demon cultivators are really insignificant. They quickly separate themselves at the slightest sign of trouble."

Thinking of those demon cultivators in the north who had directly cut off contact with him, the Taoist's face became even colder.

He is not Emperor Yuan and does not have the confidence to confront the Shang Dynasty.
