Diao Chan was exceptionally beautiful and had a stunning figure. Moreover, she was a maid whom Jiang Che had personally brought back to Qingyun Manor. A-Li was not surprised at all that she would end up with Jiang Che.
After all, this was all within her expectations.
As Jiang Che's bedmate, A-Li naturally knew exactly what kind of person this scoundrel was.
It would be strange if Jiang Che could resist such a peerless beauty as Diao Chan!
Yang Yuhuan also looked at Diaochan with a playful expression, crossing her arms over her chest to support her large, soft ribs.
"Um………"
"I hope you will continue to guide me in the future, Madam..."
Diao Chan looked extremely embarrassed, and Dou Kou's toes began to curl slightly, as if she wished she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment right there and then.
At this moment, Diao Chan was still somewhat uneasy.
Although she had gained some understanding of A-Li's personality after spending the last few days with him, Diao Chan had no idea how A-Li would handle matters of principle.
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
"From now on, Chan'er, you will be my own little sister!"
Ali still smiled gently, her face as beautiful as a flower, seemingly without any sign of anger, but she gave Jiang Che a resentful look.
She didn't object to Jiang Che finding other women, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
Bringing a woman home every three days—if this continues, what will become of us?
Thinking of this, Ali glared fiercely at Jiang Che. Tonight, she would team up with her sister Yu Huan and her sister Huo Wu to thoroughly drain this scoundrel of a man!
Three people, there must be my teacher Yan.
It's true that she's a newbie, but surely the three of them together can't possibly be no match for Jiang Che, right?
If Jiang Che knew about all of Ali's chaotic thoughts, he would probably burst out laughing.
...............................
After bidding farewell to Yang Yuhuan, Diaochan, and Cai Wenji, Jiang Che, along with A-Li and Shiranui Mai, left Qingyun Manor and strolled leisurely along Zhuque Street towards Daming Palace.
It was still early, and Baiyu Pavilion was still in the preparation stage, so Jiang Che was not in a hurry.
Walking along Suzaku Avenue, Mai Shiranui kept looking around, finding everything she saw fascinating.
Although she had been in Chang'an for quite some time, she had been living in the Honglu Temple until recently. In the past few days, she had been staying at Qingyun Manor with Jiang Che, indulging in nightly revelry. She hadn't really had a chance to appreciate the scenery of Chang'an.
In contrast, Ali appeared much calmer, with a serene expression on her face.
Having grown up in Chang'an since childhood, Ali is so familiar with the city that she naturally doesn't find anything new or interesting there.
With the International Lantern Festival just around the corner, even in broad daylight, the streets and alleys are already bustling with people, all dressed in gold and fine clothes.
The streets are already filled with colorful lanterns, swaying in the wind. When night falls, there will be many activities such as guessing lantern riddles, boat rides, making wishes, and appreciating lanterns.
........................
Enjoying the various beautiful views along the way, Jiang Che led A-Li and Shiranui Mai to the front of the Daming Palace after traveling for half an hour.
After entering the palace, led by a maid, we headed towards the Golden Palace where the banquet was to be held.
"My lord, many cultivators from all over the world have come this time. Will Her Majesty the Empress attend in person?"
Standing a meter behind the palace maid, Ali reached out and tugged at Jiang Che's sleeve, blinking her beautiful eyes and asking a question with great curiosity.
Her husband is now a true disciple of the academy and is highly regarded by Haiyue and the Empress. He should know some inside information, right?
Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui, who was standing to the side, also subconsciously looked at Jiang Che and waited quietly for what he would say next.
Peerless beauty, high above, dominating the world, overlooking the nine provinces, elegant and noble – these are all synonyms for the Empress.
Mai Shiranui had heard countless legends about the Empress before, and was curious about this high and mighty Tang Dynasty Empress, so she naturally wanted to see her in person.
"Probably..."
Jiang Che gave an ambiguous answer, smiled mysteriously, and without explaining further, followed the palace maid directly towards the direction of the Golden Palace.
Inside the Daming Palace, everyone is only allowed to walk; cultivators are forbidden from scaling walls or flying through the air, and no one is granted any special privilege.
Led by the palace maids, another hour passed before Jiang Che and his companions finally arrived at the Golden Palace, as the sun began to set and the sky gradually darkened.
"Young Master Jiang, these two young ladies..."
"The Imperial Palace is just ahead. Once you enter, someone will be there to greet you. I'll take my leave now..."
The palace maid bowed slightly, gave a graceful greeting, and quietly left.
Not just anyone can enter the Golden Palace; ordinary palace maids like them naturally don't have that qualification.
After the palace maid left, Jiang Che slightly raised his eyes and looked around the palace in front of him.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is magnificent and imposing, with its golden roof tiles gleaming and its vermilion pillars adorned with exquisitely carved dragons and phoenixes.
The stone steps in front of the hall are wide and white as jade. The stone lions on both sides are majestic and imposing, with their eyes wide open in anger. The hall is grand and imposing.
Stepping into the hall, the floor is covered with smooth, evenly arranged, and dazzlingly beautiful gold bricks.
"Young Master Jiang, ladies, this way please..."
As soon as they entered the main hall, a maid who had been waiting for a long time came to Jiang Che and his companions and bowed gracefully.
Shangguan Wan'er had specifically instructed that this Young Master Jiang be treated well, and the maid naturally obeyed, hence her respectful tone.
Led by a maid, Jiang Che and his companions were taken to a location on the right side of the center of the main hall. After Jiang Che took his seat, a large number of people had already gathered around him, all of whom were familiar faces.
Sikong Zhen, Yun Hong, Yun Ying, Cheng Yaojin, Di Renjie, Dongfang Jing, Dongfang Yao (siblings), Ji Xiaoman, Xi Shi, and Zhong Wuyan...
In the distance are Shao Siyuan, A Yao, and the siblings Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang.
According to the arrangement, Cheng Yaojin and the other two were seated in front of Jiang Che, while the seats to their left were for other foreign guests.
"Hehe, you big bad guy, Sister Ali, you're here!"
As soon as Jiang Che sat down, a delicate and melodious girl's voice rang in his ears.
Looking back, there was Yunying, whom I hadn't seen for three days.
Yunying's attire today was equally magnificent. A light purple long dress wrapped around her body, perfectly concealing her exquisite, voluptuous, and slender figure, with only a section of her fair and delicate calves exposed.
Her jet-black, lustrous hair was casually draped over her shoulders and fell to her hips. Her figure was graceful, and her pretty face was adorned with delicate makeup, making her already beautiful features even more charming and captivating.
With rosy lips and white teeth, exquisite features, snow-white skin, and a flawless oval face, she was youthful, beautiful, and captivating.
Upon noticing Jiang Che and the other two's arrival, Yun Ying eagerly approached them, her eyes sparkling. If it weren't for the solemnity of the occasion, Yun Ying would have loved to throw herself into Jiang Che's arms and pour out her heart, expressing her longing for him.
No see in one day, like every three autumns.
For the past two months, Yun Ying had been living at Qingyun Manor with Jiang Che, spending all her time together. At first, she didn't feel anything, but after returning to the Yun residence and staying for three days, she gradually realized that she had unknowingly become completely accustomed to Jiang Che's daily companionship.
With her beloved not by her side, she found everything rather dull, and even her interest in practicing marksmanship had diminished considerably.
Therefore, Yunying was so eager to see the man she had been longing for again.
"Sister Yunying, it's only been a few days since we last met..."
"Why do you look a little thinner, sister?"
"Could it be that she has lost her appetite and cannot sleep because her husband is not by her side?"
A bright smile bloomed on Ali's pretty face as she teasingly asked.
"Sister Yunying..."
Mai Shiranui greeted Yun Ying rather obediently, acting as if she were the younger sister.
"Hello, Sister Huowu..."
Yunying nodded with a grin, subconsciously reaching out to touch her cheek, pouting her cherry lips, and muttering something.
"what?"
"Was my behavior really that obvious?"
These words were tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked. Noticing Ali's amused gaze, Yunying finally realized what was happening, grabbed Ali's arm, and said coquettishly.
"Sister Ali, you're so mean!"
"Sister Ali is always by that big bad guy's side and she's been corrupted by him!"
"…I never used to tease my sister like this…"
Yun Ying wrinkled her nose slightly, glared at Jiang Che, and complained.
Indeed, in Yunying's opinion, her gentle and kind sister Ali had definitely been corrupted by Jiang Che. She would never have teased her like this before.
Jiang Che was speechless. Sure enough, women's thought processes are so strange. How could she blame herself for this?
In Yunying's mind, she probably sees herself as nothing more than a pervert, a lecherous monster...
But this is fine too, he's too lazy to salvage his image in front of Yun Ying.
"That's right, my sister learned it all from her husband!"
Seeing how strong Yunying's imagination was, Ali couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't have any intention of arguing and just went along with what Yunying said.
The three women chatted and laughed on the side, occasionally whispering to each other about some private topics that women should discuss.
Before the banquet began, Jiang Che stood up from his seat with a wine glass in hand and went to greet Yun Hong.
"Uncle Yun..."
"You've come..."
Upon seeing Jiang Che arrive, a slight smile appeared on Yun Hong's resolute face, and he nodded slightly.
Looking at Jiang Che in front of him, Yun Hong became more and more satisfied.
Over the past two days, he has also subtly learned some other information about Jiang Che from his beloved daughter, Yun Ying.
Knowing that Jiang Che not only possessed powerful cultivation and made rapid progress, but also had an extremely terrifying talent for swordsmanship, making him unparalleled in the world, he was also proficient in four secondary professions: alchemy, formation, talisman, and weapon crafting.
Moreover, he is easygoing, unfazed by praise or criticism, and treats his daughter very well, spoiling her greatly, not just casually.
Whenever Jiang Che was mentioned, Yun Ying would complain, but the happy smile on her face was genuine.
Yunhong has now completely accepted himself as her son-in-law. Such a perfect son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern!
The only thing that bothered him was that this guy was a womanizer. Having his daughter wasn't enough; he had also gotten involved with several other women.
