"My ascension to the position will happen in about a month!" Ye Chen said. "Within this month, I will eliminate any hidden threats, and keep Tao Xi Yao from exposing me!"

"Are you going to kill her?" Feng Wu exclaimed.

Tao Xi Yao is a significant threat, but she is a True Disciple with an extraordinary status. If Ye Chen kills her, it will definitely stir up trouble and might alert the Saints.

Saints possess unimaginable means. If they find any clues, Ye Chen will be finished.

"I won't kill her; I'll control her!" Ye Chen said.

There are many ways to control a person. Killing is the most foolish and stupid method, and Ye Chen would only use it as a last resort.

"Ye Chen, could it be that the Master suddenly summoned you because she discovered something?" Feng Wu suddenly asked.

Saint Jue Qing always meditates in the sacred hall, with most powers entrusted to the twelve Golden Flowers, rarely intervening in inner palace matters.

At this moment, her sudden summoning of Ye Chen could be because she discovered something and is calling Ye Chen to account?

"It shouldn't be!" Ye Chen said. "My combat power is enough to rival a Saint, and at most, Saint Jue Qing can suppress me but she fundamentally cannot subdue me!"

"If Jue Qing wanted to question me for a crime, she wouldn't alert me but take advantage of an unguarded moment!"

"This time, her summoning me might be a routine inquiry, it should not be anything serious."

Although Ye Chen has not become a Saint, he has grown strong enough that even Saints have trouble suppressing him.

Saint Jue Qing understands his power very well. If she really wanted to trouble him, she certainly wouldn't be so conspicuous.

Besides, Ye Chen's potential is overwhelmingly powerful, so Saint Jue Qing values him greatly. Even if he makes a mistake, she will likely deal with it leniently.

Ye Chen's momentum has already taken shape; even a Saint must think twice before condemning him!

...

In the depths of Baihua Palace, there are two sacred halls that connect heaven and earth, radiating a hazy glow, surrounded by countless palace halls, displaying an air of sanctity and grandeur.

These two sacred halls belong directly to the Saints and are the residences of the Palace Masters.

This is the absolute forbidden area of Baihua Palace. Without the Saint's permission, no one can approach!

"Yingyue!"

"Gu Qii!"

Feng Wu brought Ye Chen to the sacred hall, standing outside, softly calling as if summoning something.

"Are there disciples in the sacred hall besides the Saints?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yingyue and Gu Qii are Master's maids, attending to Master's daily living!" Feng Wu replied.

Many disciples in Baihua Palace have followers, but Saints do not, as they are invincible and do not need followers.

However, Saint Jue Qing has two maids attending to her daily affairs.

"Booming!"

Suddenly, there was a tremor from the sacred hall in front, and the broad stone door slowly descended, the sacred gate opening wide.

"Holy Maiden Feng Wu, is this Ye Chen?"

Two girls walked out of the sacred hall, each graceful and enchanting, with an ethereal temperament, winning admiration and reverence.

"Yes, this is Ye Chen, personally appointed as the Saint Heir by Master!" Feng Wu nodded and then said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, these two are senior sisters, Yingyue and Gu Qii, both extremely powerful!"

Gu Qii and Yingyue, as the maids of the Saint, have an indescribable aura, being close to the Saint often, making them extraordinarily powerful.

Though Feng Wu is a disciple of the Saint, she cannot accompany the Saint as often as they do, so she is very polite to them.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen greets the two senior sisters!" Ye Chen greeted respectfully.

Yingyue and Gu Qii have ordinary physiques, but their cultivation is extremely formidable, almost Transcending the Other Shore! Clearly favored by the Saints, given divine medicines for Marrow Cleansing, otherwise they couldn't have cultivated to such heights.

"Senior Brother Ye, there's no need to be modest. You're about to ascend as the Saint Heir, we should be calling you Senior Brother!" Yingyue smiled gently.

Ye Chen is highly regarded by the Deputy Palace Master and is about to ascend as the Saint Heir. Even though they are often by the Saint's side, they dare not be arrogant in front of Ye Chen.

"The world is full of uncertainties; as long as I haven't ascended, I'm not yet the Saint Heir!" Ye Chen said. "You have been by the Saint's side for much longer than I have, and you truly deserve to be called Senior Sisters!"

"Hmph, so you know your place!" Gu Qii whispered, seeing Ye Chen's humility.

"Gu Qii, don't speak so recklessly!" Yingyue's face changed, scolding Gu Qii.

"Ye Chen speaks the truth, and so do I. How is this reckless talk?" Gu Qii retorted, unconvinced.

"You think you would die if you kept quiet?" Yingyue exclaimed.

"Yes, I would die if I didn't speak. Even Saints can't handle it. What can you do to me?" Gu Qii answered proudly.

"..."

Seeing the two women bickering, Ye Chen immediately understood.

Gu Qii and Yingyue are saintly attendants who are deeply favored by Saints, hence their arrogant demeanor.

However, Gu Qii is a haughty young lady, while Yingyue is a mature sister-like figure. Their personalities complement each other, one being light-hearted, the other more serious.

"Ye Chen, don't take it to heart. Gu Qii is still immature, please don't mind her!" After a while, Yingyue calmed Gu Qii down and apologized to Ye Chen.

"Never mind, you two always argue anyway. I'm already used to it!" Before Ye Chen could speak, Feng Wu chimed in, saying it was no big deal.

Gu Qii is arrogant and headstrong, Yingyue is mature and gentle. If they start bickering, not even Saints can intervene. Feng Wu had witnessed it many times before and was long accustomed to it.

"Holy Maiden Feng Wu, Ye Chen, follow us. The Saint is waiting for you!"

Finally, Yingyue and Gu Qii led the way, guiding Ye Chen and Feng Wu into the holy palace.

The Saint's palace was grand and majestic, filled with sacred symbols, reliefs, and various rare ornaments, broadening Ye Chen's horizons.

"The place where a Saint resides is truly different. I wish I could take a break here!" Ye Chen mused to himself. "I've seen the face of Saint Jue Qing, she is very beautiful and possesses a unique majesty. If I could tease her, it would definitely be exhilarating!"

Ye Chen's greatest dream was to disrupt the life of a Saint. If he could conquer Master Baihua, then Baihua Palace would be his to control.

However, Saints are towering and invincible, possessing unfathomable majesty. Ye Chen wanting to disrupt a Saint... it would be extremely difficult, like reaching for the heavens!

Finally, Ye Chen and the others arrived at a palace filled with flowers and plants, exuding a rich fragrance. Saint Jue Qing was in the midst of pruning, tending to the flora.

"Saint, Holy Maiden Feng Wu, Ye Chen has arrived!" Yingyue reported respectfully.

"Hmm, you may leave now!" Saint Jue Qing waved her hand, signaling Gu Qii and Yingyue to leave.

"..."

After Yingyue and Gu Qii left, Saint Jue Qing continued pruning the branches, without addressing Ye Chen and Feng Wu.

Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, Feng Wu glanced at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with worry, as if she feared something.

"Don't worry!"

Ye Chen's voice echoed in Feng Wu's sea of consciousness, carrying a tranquil power that quickly calmed her down.

"Saint Jue Qing must have discovered something. Summoning me here to intimidate!" Ye Chen looked at Saint Jue Qing, his thoughts soaring as he pieced together the situation.

Saint Jue Qing is the vice-palace master of Baihua Palace, an invincible Saint. Ye Chen's affairs with several women were kept very secret, but not absolutely confidential.

It seemed Saint Jue Qing heard some rumors or detected subtle clues, thus summoning them yet not addressing them.

The intention is simple, to make them feel oppressed, achieving an intimidating effect.

Ye Chen's powers are vast, even if he has not entered the Saint Realm, he possesses Saint-level combat abilities!

Moreover, Ye Chen has a close relationship with Dragon Esteem, and Long Chan came to Baihua Palace to cultivate all because of Ye Chen.

Thus, even if Ye Chen committed some taboo, Saint Jue Qing wouldn't easily suppress him.

"Saint Jue Qing... is extraordinarily beautiful!"

Ye Chen initially felt reverence and solemnity, but was quickly captivated by the Saint's charm.

When outside the palace, Saints often shroud themselves in divine radiance, making it hard for anyone to see their true appearance.

However, inside her palace garden, there's no need for such radiance?

At this moment, Saint Jue Qing was very casual, with her hair down, a jade hairpin in her bun, wearing a purple robe, and holding scissors, pruning the surrounding plants.

Saint Jue Qing is undoubtedly supremely beautiful, surpassing even the heavenly fairies.

Furthermore, being an invincible Saint and the vice-palace master of Baihua Palace, she possesses an unbeatable presence and peerless elegance!

Such a lofty being, though incredibly beautiful, makes it hard for anyone to even consider disrespect.

However, Ye Chen is audacious, not only daring to think of disrespecting her but also scheming to seduce the Saint.

"If Saint Jue Qing remains unmarried all her life, it would be a real pity!" Ye Chen shamelessly thought. "There are countless men in the world, but only I am the most handsome, only I truly know how to cherish women. So this daunting task must fall to me..."

"Ye Chen, you've been back in the palace for so long, yet you haven't come to see me. What have you been sneaking around doing?"

At this moment, while still pruning, Saint Jue Qing finally spoke, her words laden with hidden meanings, hinting at undisclosed motives.
