"Strange, why hasn't my senior sister replied to me yet?" Zhao Kangping took out the communication jade slip again.

After Dongfang Jingrou returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she felt uncomfortable all over. She smelled herself carefully and then she remembered that she smelled of alcohol.

"I'm going to take a shower first. We'll discuss it after I'm done." She couldn't wait to run to the bathroom in the City Lord's Mansion.

She hadn't just washed away the smell of alcohol; she had also washed away something else. Although it might have been washed away long ago, she still felt that it hadn't been washed away completely, and that some of it might still be there.

Zhao Kangping didn't pay much attention to her overreaction.

He went to the yard where Luo Xueqing lived again.

Then he saw Xue Qing dancing with a sword, while Ji Miaoyan was watching from the side and clapping her hands in approval.

He walked into the yard somewhat angrily.

But he didn't have an attack right away.

This time they almost died in that underground mine.

Fortunately, the man who was half a step away from becoming a god had gone crazy for some reason and did not enter the underground space under the slope to look for them.

"Your Majesty is back." Ji Miaoyan bowed to him respectfully.

"How did you know there was a hidden mineral vein there?" He hadn't doubted her words before, but now after coming back from there, he felt something was wrong.

If the existence of the mine had been known for a long time, why didn't the news spread widely?

She said she sent someone to confirm.

But the mineral vein is more than a thousand feet underground.

How to confirm?

Luo Xueqing noticed that her master was a little unstable. She stopped the sword in her hand, walked over and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Zhao Kangping didn't want his disciple to worry too much, so he said calmly, "It's okay. You can go back to your room and rest for a while. I have something to tell her."

Luo Xueqing looked at Ji Miaoyan strangely.

But she didn't ask any more questions and went back to the house obediently.

The Sixth Princess did lie.

She didn't send anyone to confirm the situation of the underground mine.

But she couldn't possibly tell Zhao Kangping that she was a reborn person.

In the future she experienced, the mineral vein was later exposed, but that should have been a long time later.

She desperately searched her mind for an explanation, but she couldn't find a convincing answer.

Ji Miaoyan originally thought that Xue Qing’s master would go there to investigate and come back after finding the existence of a mineral vein there.

Who knew he would be gone for so long and still get angry when he came back?

Oh no, he might not accept her as his apprentice.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I knew there was a hidden mineral vein there because I knew a little bit about the art of observing qi and sensed that there was something wrong with the earth veins there. As a member of the royal family, I shouldn't have studied this art. This is my secret. If I put Your Majesty in danger because of this, Miaoyan knows that my crime is unforgivable and I hope Your Majesty will punish me," she said in a humble manner.

Zhao Kangping narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know the art of reading qi?"

"I just know the basics." Ji Miaoyan said humbly.

Zhao Kangping wanted to further verify whether she was lying, but he noticed that the communication jade slip had received the message.

When he opened it, his pupils suddenly dizzied.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family: The Supreme Elder has woken up and she wants to talk to me.

Chapter 192: What was our relationship before?

The Supreme Elder is the Holy Lord of the previous generation.

She shouldn't have abdicated so early, but in a battle with a giant of the magic world, both sides were injured.

She was injured too seriously to continue serving as Holy Lord, so she abdicated early.

He said he was going into seclusion to recuperate.

However, the injuries she could suffer at her level were basically Dao injuries, not flesh wounds that would break bones.

It is said that she often fell into a coma and only woke up very rarely.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family said, "She only talked to me about two things. One was about Qianqian becoming a saint. She questioned Qianqian's ability. She even said hypocritically that she respected my decision and just hoped that the overall situation would be prioritized."

Zhao Kangping knew that the Supreme Elder actually didn't like his senior sister, nor did he really want her to succeed him as the Holy Lord.

When Senior Sister was still a Saint, she faced many challenges and encountered many difficulties. However, Senior Sister always had the last laugh and secured her position as Saint.

Afterwards, they learned that those who had troubled Senior Sister were actually backed by the previous Saint Master. This old woman never showed up herself to mess with Senior Sister, but always used others to do it.

The old woman always speaks in a profound manner, with hidden meanings. Every word she says is worth pondering and is not as simple as the surface meaning.

The Supreme Elder said that the overall situation should be the most important thing.

In her opinion, anything that is beneficial to the Holy Land is in the overall interest.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Mu Wanyi suspected that as long as there was a more suitable candidate, Bai Qianqian's position as the Saint would likely be lost.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family said, "The second thing is that she felt that my decision to make you the Lord of Chuanliu City was too hasty."

Mr. Zhao: "It seems those people are very active in secret activities. The Supreme Elder didn't have much time to wake up, and she knew what was going on outside so quickly."

As the supreme elder of the former Holy Lord, even though she appears to be no longer in charge of affairs, her power must not be underestimated.

Even if the injured cultivator is in the Fusion Stage, he is still in the Fusion Stage, and is definitely not someone that my senior sister, who is in the Void Refinement Stage, can contend with.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family: "Humph! She still wants to tell me what to do. I've disliked her for a long time."

Her words were somewhat outrageous. If anyone else said this, they would be sentenced to death if they were known to others.

Maybe she is the only one who dares to talk like that.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family said: "She has been asleep for too long and has no idea of ​​what is happening in the outside world. Look at what those family members did after they got their positions thanks to the grace of their ancestors."

The eldest wife of the Zhao family said: "They form cliques and factions, indulge in extravagance and debauchery, and indulge in extravagance. They all appear glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are full of despicable schemes and schemes."

These families traced their ancestry back to when they were elders or disciples of the holy land, and even now, their descendants have been practicing in the holy land for many years.

Many families have people holding important positions in the holy land.

These people have thus formed a huge network of relationships.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family said: "She is now the Grand Elder, not the Holy Lord. She should enjoy her old age and not be concerned with worldly affairs. It would be ridiculous if she didn't know what was good for her and lost her integrity in her later years."

Mu Wanyi is very resentful towards the Grand Elder.

She also didn't intend to listen to the other party's opinions.

Maybe others would take the old woman's words seriously, but she didn't care.

Is she afraid of offending the Grand Elder?

In fact, during her time as Saintess, the previous Saint Lord hadn't been very fond of her. Back then, she had dared to contradict the Saint Lord. If there was any offense, it must have been done before.

The relationship between the two was very strained back then, let alone now.

The eldest wife of the Zhao family said: "The one who can really make the final decision now is me, not her. Don't worry, unless you make a serious mistake, the Supreme Elder will not say anything."

The Supreme Elder only said in a very tactful way that it was a bit hasty to let Zhao Kangping be the city lord, and did not directly say that he could not be the city lord.

As long as the Supreme Elder does not explicitly object, Mu Wanyi has room to maneuver.

Zhao Kangping and Mu Wanyi already had a tacit understanding, and he also understood that as long as the Supreme Elder and the current Holy Lord had not completely torn their relations, the words of the current Holy Lord would still be more effective.

The senior sister did not reply again. With her support, Zhao Kangping felt more confident.

He looked at Ji Miaoyan beside him and said, "Princess, I think it's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

It was dusk and it was time for the girl to leave.

In fact, Ji Miaoyan wanted to stay in this mansion for a while longer, but the owner here did not welcome her.

She heard the sarcasm in the man's words; he was clearly trying to drive her away.

Princess?

It sounds like a respectful title.

But she is a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this is the Eastern Region. The princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not very powerful in the Eastern Region.

Did he want to express that where she came from, she would go back to?

Ji Miaoyan suppressed the discomfort in her heart.

She actually hates men, especially being alone with men.

Just smelling the man's scent made her feel uncomfortable.

But for the sake of her plan, she forced herself to hold back.

She must find an opportunity to kill Zhao Mengyao.

For this, she can swallow her anger.

Ji Miaoyan bowed to him stiffly and walked away.

Before leaving, she took a look at Luo Xueqing's room.

I hope that in this life, Sister Xueqing can discover Zhao Mengyao's sinister nature sooner and break off with her sooner. Don't let that female devil go again out of softness like in the last life.

"Why does this girl always like to run here?"

In this life, Xue Qing probably didn't rescue her when she passed by Yanglin City.

Ji Miaoyan took the initiative to come to the Ziyang Holy Land.

Even if there is a correction force in the world, it must comply with the Basic Law.

so weird.

He couldn't understand something.

But this shouldn't be important.

There was one thing that concerned him right now.

The system said that the piece of stone tablet fragment he obtained contained some fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

Because the system said that extracting the fragments of the Heavenly Dao might cause a big noise, he did not do it in the underground mine.

So Zhao Kangping flew to the mountains and forests outside the city again.

He took out the broken pieces of the stone tablet and placed them on the ground.

Then a formation was set up here to conceal the strange vision.

This should be safe.

(System, you can now help me extract the Heavenly Dao fragments.)

The system did not respond.

However, he saw a light blue transparent hand extending from his body. It was a slender female arm, probably a spirit.

When he thought that a woman's shadow would emerge from his body, something embarrassing happened instead.

The hand was far from being long enough to reach the debris on the ground, so it could only wave around in the air, looking a bit funny.

"What the hell, it's really in my body?" Zhao Kangping showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The system said she had always been inside him.

She knew she was a time traveler, but she had traveled through time more than once. Long ago, her soul had originally belonged to this world, and later reincarnated on Blue Star, and then reincarnated again in this life.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." This time, the system's voice did not come from his mind, but came from the arm spirit.

Her voice is more real, and it is a very sweet female voice.

It was the same voice as the one in my mind, but it seemed softer.

Zhao Kangping squatted down and pulled the broken pieces of the stone tablet closer so that the transparent spiritual arm could touch them.

Then he saw the broken piece of stone tablet dissolving in her hand and turning into a handful of ashes.
