After Ween Zhiyi landed in front of Chu Xisheng, the first thing she said was a reproach: "What is going on with the Formless Divine Sect? How dare they let Xisheng go out alone? Don't you know how many people want to kill you nowadays?

Now you have some foundation in Martial Arts, but your cultivation is still lacking. The most important thing now is to settle down and accumulate your Cultivation Body, not to venture out at the risk of your life."

As she spoke, she looked Chu Xisheng up and down with concern.

She seemed to want to see if Chu Xisheng was injured?

Zhangsun Ruoli couldn't help but twitch her cheek muscles.

Ween Zhiyi's expression and tone were just like a newlywed wife to her husband.

Mad Sword Feng San thought to himself, am I invisible?

However, he noticed that Ween Zhiyi's emotions were slightly unusual, but genuinely sincere, so he held his sword in his arms without saying a word.

Chu Xisheng grew increasingly fond of this elder sister.

After paying his respects, he concentrated on looking at Ween Zhiyi's stunning, captivating face, then smiled slightly and said, "This time, there was a problem with the Iron Banner Gang in the south, and I had to go and see. Before leaving, I also discussed a comprehensive plan with the elders in the sect, so there's no need for the City Lord to worry."

"The south?" Upon hearing this, Ween Zhiyi furrowed her brows again.

Chu Xisheng continued, "This journey just happens to pass through Tianhai County, so I came to express my gratitude to the City Lord for the gift of the blade!"

He patted the Mirror Flower Water Moon Blade at his waist, "I really like this blade, it has been a great help."

Chu Xisheng didn't say anything about refusing or repaying the favor, which would have been too pretentious.

Hearing the word 'like', Ween Zhiyi's heart filled with joy, and her eyes, usually as cold and clear as an icy lake, curved into crescent shapes.

She liked Chu Xisheng's straightforwardness.

Ween Zhiyi then realized there were many people around watching.

Ween Zhiyi's expression returned to calmness: "It's inconvenient to talk here, Xisheng, follow me."

She waved her sleeve, gathering Vigorous Force, and flew southeast with Chu Xisheng.

Zhangsun Ruoli and the others followed closely.

She originally thought Ween Zhiyi intended to take Chu Xisheng to the 'Dark Winter Hall' of Bingxuan Palace.

This is one of the outer halls of Bingxuan Palace, mostly used for entertaining distinguished guests.

Instead, Ween Zhiyi led Chu Xisheng through over a dozen gates, finally entering the 'Moon Cold Hall.'

Everyone, including Zhangsun Ruoli, was shocked at this scene.

The guards inside Bingxuan Palace all showed surprise in their eyes.

Mad Sword Feng San also wanted to follow, but Zhangsun Ruoli unsheathed her sword with a 'clank' and blocked Feng San's path.

"What is this, sir?"

Mad Sword Feng San's eyes showed displeasure.

He was already very unhappy with this woman.

"This is the Empress's sleeping hall! It's also a forbidden area of Extreme East Ice City, forbidden for all men to enter!"

Zhangsun Ruoli almost spat out the words one by one, her face as pale as a ghost.

Since the establishment of Extreme East Ice City, no man has ever entered the Empress's sleeping quarters!

Feng San was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking that it was indeed inconvenient.

Isn't this equivalent to a woman's boudoir?

But what's going on with Chu Xisheng?

He then let out a 'hmm' sound, thinking he understood the situation.

Ween Zhiyi's voice came from inside.

"Ruoli, do not be rude. The Sword Lord's subordinates are also esteemed guests of our Extreme East Ice City, and you must treat them well, do not neglect them."

As Ween Zhiyi finished speaking, a white shadow flew out.

It was Bai Xiaozhao, with a bewildered look, wondering how she was just tossed out by her master?

Zhangsun Ruoli couldn't help but let out a light snort.

However, she still had to sheathe her sword, biting her teeth, "You are called Feng San? Please, sir, come with me to the Dark Winter Hall next to us for tea."

Zhangsun Ruoli's gaze was fixed on the door of the Moon Cold Hall, thinking to herself, what is the Empress intending by bringing that pretty boy into her sleeping chamber?

Inside the Moon Cold Hall, Chu Xisheng followed Ween Zhiyi to the deepest part of the building.

This structure, though called a hall, is actually composed of a main hall, side halls, and over a dozen rooms.

The outermost room was extremely vast, a full thirty zhang in size.

Yet inside, it was remarkably empty, with almost no decoration or furnishings, except for a large bed.

The walls were sheets of giant arched ice windows, resembling the glass curtain walls of modern office buildings.

This made the interior very bright, with a broad field of vision.

Chu Xisheng noticed that the bed was made of a whole Sun God Stone, combined with large amounts of Tao Tribulation Crystal.

On top, there were over a hundred transparent convex lenses, but at this moment, the angle of these mirrors had all been adjusted, and they were no longer focused.

He didn't dare look too much, turning his gaze to other directions.

Chu Xisheng's attention was quickly drawn to the massive map on the wall.

Ween Zhiyi, possibly fearing that the map might be burned, had used a Magical Treasure to seal and insulate it.

Chu Xisheng went over for a look and found that Cang Province, Si Province, Ya State, and East State on the map all had blue labels.

Some of the surrounding areas were also partially labeled blue.

Chu Xisheng raised an eyebrow: "Is the Grandmaster luring the enemy deep?"

"Does Xisheng also understand Military Strategy?"

Ween Zhiyi was slightly surprised, then smiled it off: "I almost forgot, Xisheng once broke through the official army in Xiushui County and is a knowledgeable man."
