Not finding Haiyue, Shangguan Wan'er felt a little strange and asked curiously.

"The Dean and Her Majesty the Empress have matters to discuss, and I cannot listen in, so I came down to take a look around..."

Jiang Che gave a casual explanation, glancing around at the various layouts of the White Jade Pavilion.

"I see…"

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized that the two big shots were discussing serious matters, and it was indeed inconvenient for Jiang Che, their disciple, to stay.

Just as she was about to say something, a sweet-looking palace maid came running up to Shangguan Wan'er, gave a graceful bow, and spoke respectfully.

"My lord, Zhang Liang and Yu Ji have arrived..."

"Should I bring them to the Jade Pavilion?"

"I'll go there myself!"

After hearing the maid's report, Shangguan Wan'er made a quick decision, turned to look at Jiang Che beside her, and spoke with a slight apology.

"Young Master Jiang, Wan'er has some matters to attend to, so please excuse me for now..."

This young palace maid was unaware of Zhang Liang and Yu Ji's true identities, but Shangguan Wan'er, as the Empress's personal maid, knew them perfectly well.

Knowing that these two had a close relationship with Her Majesty the Empress, being her junior brothers and sisters, she dared not be negligent in any way.

"Please make yourself at home, Miss Wan'er..."

Jiang Che smiled nonchalantly, though he was also somewhat surprised.

Zhang Liang and Yu Ji actually came to Chang'an City too?

If I remember correctly, in the original storyline, these two were supposed to stay in the Great River Valley searching for the so-called ruler of the world, so they didn't attend this International Lantern Festival.

It seems that the main storyline about Zhang Liang and Yu Ji has shifted somewhat, making the future more uncertain.

Of course, the slight deviation in the plot would not affect Jiang Che at all, since he didn't know these two people.

Jiang Che was still quite curious about Zhang Liang and Yu Ji.

Zhang Liang possessed extraordinary talent, an innate ability to communicate with all things and even the Dao of Heaven, obtaining any information he desired.

This ability is quite magical. If used properly, it is even more useful than Jiang Che's "Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune" skill, making it easy to find various opportunities and inheritances.

Yu Ji is also one of the many female heroes in the King of Glory world. She is heroic, beautiful and charming, and a rare beauty.

For Jiang Che, who aspires to possess all the female heroes in the King of Glory world, Yu Ji is naturally not someone he would let go of.

Jiang Che understood that now was not a good time, and he wasn't in a hurry, so he didn't leave with Shangguan Wan'er.

Yu Ji has already come to Chang'an City, how could she possibly run away?

After Haiyue and the Empress finished their negotiations and went downstairs again, Jiang Che accompanied them as they left Baiyu Pavilion.

.....................

Yong'an Hall,

"As expected of the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed magnificent and extremely luxurious!"

After entering Yong'an Palace under the guidance of palace maids, Yu Ji looked around in amazement, looking left and right with curiosity about everything.

Having grown up in the river basin since childhood, this was Yu Ji's first time visiting the Heluo region. Seeing an architectural style completely different from that of the river basin, Yu Ji naturally felt curious.

Compared to the lively and active Yu Ji, Zhang Liang appeared much calmer, sitting upright and calmly drinking the Pu'er tea brewed by the palace maid.

"Senior brother..."

"Now that we've arrived in the Tang Dynasty, how should we assist and help our senior sister?"

After taking a look around, Yu Ji turned to Zhang Liang, who stood calmly to the side, and asked hesitantly.

Previously, when they were in the Great River Basin, after using the power of words to deduce that her senior sister was the future ruler of the world, Yu Ji followed Zhang Liang to Chang'an City without stopping.

Yu Ji felt an immense longing, admiration, and respect for this empress, who was known for her extraordinary abilities. After all, she had grown up listening to all sorts of stories about her.

When the moment of meeting finally arrived, much of the excitement dissipated, and I became somewhat nervous instead.

Wu Zetian was an unparalleled empress who ruled over all under heaven, looking down upon all living beings. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous about having to recognize such a great figure.

"Let's wait until we see what she thinks after we meet her..."

Upon hearing Yu Ji mention serious matters, Zhang Liang remained silent for a long time before finally giving this answer.

Although he obtained the answer he wanted from the Heavenly Dao through the power of words, Zhang Liang was not sure whether Wu Zetian now possessed the ambition to dominate the world and unify the nine provinces.

If Wu Zetian really had such thoughts, that would be excellent, as she and her junior sister could stay and assist her.

If Wu Zetian doesn't have this idea now, there's nothing he can do. He can't force his senior sister to compete for the world, can he?

As Zhang Liang was deep in thought, a series of footsteps approached from afar, and Shangguan Wan'er appeared in Yong'an Palace with several palace maids.

"You two must be His Majesty's junior brothers and sisters, Young Master Zhang Liang and Miss Yu Ji, right?"

Shangguan Wan'er spotted Zhang Liang and Yu Ji at a glance, quickly stepped forward, greeted them with a faint smile, and secretly sized up the man and woman in front of her.

"Exactly..."

"Are you Lady Shangguan Wan'er, young lady?"

Zhang Liang rose from his seat, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and behaved with great courtesy.

When Zhang Liang first arrived in Chang'an, he already knew some of the stories about his senior sister Wu Zetian, and naturally knew that Wu Zetian had a personal maid named Shangguan Wan'er by her side.

"I dare not accept such an honor..."

"Since you two are fellow disciples of His Majesty, you are honored guests of our Great Tang Dynasty. Please address me as Miss Wan'er..."

"His Majesty has been waiting for you at the Jade Pavilion for quite some time. Please, both of you, step aside and accompany Wan'er to meet His Majesty..."

"please……"

...............................

In a side room in the backyard of Qingyun Manor.

"Humph……"

Mai Shiranui let out a lazy, cute moan, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and groggily opened them.

After regaining her senses, she stared blankly at the ceiling for three seconds, and memories of the previous night flooded her mind like a tide, allowing Mai Shiranui to recall everything that had happened.

Mai Shiranui's pretty face flushed slightly, feeling a little shy inside.

Although she acted exceptionally bold, enthusiastic, and unrestrained in front of Jiang Che, she was ultimately just an eighteen-year-old girl.

Now that the passion has faded and reason has regained control of the mind, one naturally feels quite shy.

Looking around, Mai Shiranui didn't see Jiang Che, but she wasn't surprised.

Mai Shiranui struggled to get up from the bed, dressed herself again, carefully removed the bed sheet, and stored it in her storage ring.

Although the bed sheet was ordinary, it held a very special meaning for her, witnessing her transformation.

Despite being exhausted last night, Mai Shiranui is now fine after two hours of rest.

Ultimately, she was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and her physique was naturally far superior to that of ordinary women.

Thinking about this, Mai Shiranui suddenly realized something was unusual.

Looking inward, I discovered that the ocean of spiritual energy in my lower abdomen, dantian, had disappeared, replaced by a crystal-clear, dazzling golden elixir.

The golden pill was about the size of a pebble, golden in color, clear and lustrous, round and full, and looked incredibly handsome.

The Daoist rhythm flowed, and spiritual energy permeated the air. Yin and Yang spiritual energies diffused around the golden elixir, enveloping it.

So he's already successfully formed his core?

Mai Shiranui's expression shifted several times, a rather strange feeling creeping over her.

The words Jiang Che said last night still seemed to echo in her mind.

"Swallow it, and you will form a golden core!"

Mai Shiranui naturally didn't believe such nonsense, taking it as Jiang Che deliberately teasing her.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she had actually formed a golden core.

Just outrageous!

What was happening before her eyes was so absurd that Mai Shiranui was still finding it hard to accept.

So, it was through this method, with the generous help of his wives, that the master was able to rapidly improve his cultivation?

"It happened!"

Thinking of Yunying and the other two women, Mai Shiranui's expression changed again, and her mood suddenly became somewhat uneasy.

He had only been in Qingyun Manor for one day and was already staying in bed. The three ladies must have already noticed something was wrong.

So, how should she explain this to the three ladies later?

You can't exactly say you overslept, can you?

Moreover, she's currently in the master's room; if she goes out later, she'll definitely be discovered by the maids of Qingyun Manor...

"What's meant to happen will happen; there's no escaping it..."

Taking a deep breath and cheering herself up, Mai Shiranui, with a determined expression, resolutely pushed open the wooden door of the room and left Jiang Che's attic villa.

Since things have developed to this point, sooner or later the three women, Yunying and her companions, will find out.

Rather than waiting to be discovered, she should take the initiative to reveal it herself.

Although she had been taken into Jiang Che's household, Mai Shiranui subconsciously believed that she was just Jiang Che's maid, which is why she had all sorts of messy thoughts.

.....................

After searching for a while, led by a maid, Mai Shiranui finally found Yunying and her two companions playing the zither, sipping tea, and chatting happily in the garden pavilion.

The young maid Cai Wenji, nestled in Yang Yuhuan's lap, was rapidly devouring the various fruits and snacks laid out on the stone table.

With a nervous heart, Mai Shiranui moved gracefully to the three women and called out to them with a slightly timid voice.

"Greetings, ladies..."

"What is Huo Wu doing?"

Didn't we have a very pleasant conversation last night?
