Chapter 1, for the Holy Maiden's review

The two tall and robust men respectfully bowed to the delicate young girl, saying: "Yes, Miss Mosquito!"

And there are also azaleas, many azaleas

How can there be such a bold and unrestrained woman in the world, who would easily come to ask a stranger whether he would laugh?

The current saint's name is unknown to anyone, only that she loves to wear purple garments. Outside the Xuanshui Palace, where poppies are planted everywhere, there are some non-believers who secretly refer to her as the Purple Poppy.

I am momentarily a bit disoriented

From the mountains and forests to the residential areas, deep red, light red, rose, purple, white, and tubular flowers mixed with several colors resemble a colorful sunset, strikingly beautiful and captivating, naturally endowing this place with a greater charm

I have never been to the south, nor have I ever been to the Nanzhao Kingdom in the southern frontier.

Only when I saw the magnificent scenery of Cangshan and Erhai from a distance did I realize how terribly wrong I was

As a reincarnation of a divine being, Ling Chen's status is exceedingly revered. Even on the days of worship on the 1st and 15th of each month, he rarely makes an appearance. For ordinary people to see him, it must be at the annual Moon Festival, an event in which only high-ranking disciples of the sect can participate. Consequently, very few people can even describe his appearance or age.

The Xuanling Palace is the residence of the High Priest Qingchuang of the White Sect. The White Sect reveres the moon, and the High Priest is accountable to the Moon God and the Sect Leader above, while leading countless followers below, wielding the greatest power. According to the followers, the High Priest possesses remarkable abilities, capable of turning rivers and seas upside down, reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth.

The local customs and culture are distinctly not much different from those of the Central Plains, and one might even feel that they are somewhat more refined and charming than those of the Central Plains

If I save the Ninth Young Master, can I consider that I have repaid more than half of the debt of gratitude I owe him

As for why to meet the saintess, one can act according to the circumstances at that time

Thus, I became even more reluctant to respond, only furrowing my brows tighter.

The young girl smiled and said, "Well, I suppose it can be considered a kind of temperament; it seems quite pleasing to the eye. Come on, send it to the Xuan Shui Palace for the saintess to review."

I inquired about the location of the Three Palaces of the White Teaching General Altar, and I found a mountain temple nearby to stay overnight. Then, I went to the vicinity of the Three Palaces to gather information.

As I was frowning, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen with big eyes and dressed in pink approached me, sizing me up several times, seemingly not very satisfied. She looked up at me and said, "Hey, can't you smile?"

Xuantiangong serves as the residence of Lingchen, the leader of the Bai Sect. It is said that throughout history, the leaders of the Bai Sect have been reincarnations of the Moon Goddess's avatars. Each leader has indicated the location and characteristics of their reincarnation before ascending to the heavens, and they are then brought back and raised by the priests.

And those two men have already rushed forward, seemingly intent on lifting me up and directly taking me into the palace

I have clearly expressed my feelings to him, and I even left him a note. He should no longer doubt how I feel about others, right

At this moment, thinking of him, every little detail is merely his gentle demeanor and the several instances of selfless protection, along with the unwavering care he provided.

I am too weary to analyze the significant implications of this matter; the only thing I wish to do is to quickly locate the Ninth Young Master and deliver him safely into the hands of Chu Chen, after which I can finally breathe a sigh of relief

However, will they send someone to check on my whereabouts because they are worried about me? If they find out that I have ventured out, the one I wish to save is still the Ninth Prince, whom I once harmed with a sword. Most likely, he will come to scold me again.

Does this girl regard me as some sort of object? Has she even presented me to the saint for her review?

Thinking of Liu Qin brings a tinge of bitterness to my heart

The Xuan Shui Palace is the residence of the Holy Maiden of the White Sect. The Holy Maiden is jointly selected by the previous generation's Holy Maiden and the Sect Leader, and after being recognized by the Holy Moon Gui, which represents the supreme power of the Moon Goddess, she is entrusted with the lifelong guardianship of the Holy Moon Gui. Like the High Priest, she enjoys unparalleled honor within the sect.

The poppy is exquisitely beautiful, yet it is poisonous, perfectly aligning with the actions of this saintly woman

He has endured so much suffering, and to this day his body has not found peace; yet as long as I am in front of him, he remains unwilling to settle down. Perhaps if I were to leave him, he would recover more quickly

Since leaving the Prince Qing's residence, his pair of warm yet sorrowful eyes have always made me hesitant to meet his gaze directly. I am well aware that this is because I owe him too much.

In the name of the mosquito

I suppose it is probably because I saw many tea plantations along the way

I finally have the feeling of reaching the wilderness

Nanzhao is situated between Tubo and the Central Plains. As an envoy of the Celestial Empire, the Ninth Prince's ability to cause trouble in Nanzhao suggests that the background is likely not simple. As the state religion of Nanzhao, it stands to reason that the White Religion should not easily offend the Celestial Empire for the sake of a fallen royal relative, especially to the extent of secretly capturing a younger brother who is favored by the current emperor.

That little mosquito suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, you look really good when you smile! This is great, this is great!"

Chu Chen, Chu Chen, I do not know why, even though I am fully aware that he has also taken advantage of me, taken advantage of Liu Qin, I still cannot bring myself to hate him

Are they selecting handsome men

If Liu Qin were to accompany me, perhaps I would have lost the Ninth Young Master without rescue and would have been taken directly to enjoy the mountains and waters

I have heard that this violet poppy acts capriciously and behaves tyrannically, yet unexpectedly, as I followed the devotees of prayer to the Holy Moon Shrine outside the Three Palaces, before I could enter the shrine, two men approached and blocked my way

I placed my hand on the sword, then quickly let it drop, smiling slightly as I softly said: "Is it truly an honor for me to be sent to meet the Saintess? My two elder brothers, please lead the way ahead"

My purpose in coming here was originally to infiltrate the lair of the White Sect to gather information. If someone could take me into the Xuan Shui Palace where the Saintess resides, it would be an excellent opportunity.

Su Ying Chapter

Prologue: Which year's wind, flowers, snow, and moon engraved someone's lifelong affection?

The three palaces are Xuantian Palace, Xuanling Palace, and Xuanshui Palace

The fragrance that permeates the air is as refreshing and delightful as the experience of drinking tea, sharing a similar essence.

In one's imagination, it should be a rather wild and barbaric tribe. It is also said that the sects of Nanzhao, including the so-called national religion, are adept in the arts of witchcraft and sorcery, leading one to believe that the people there must be dressed in strange and exotic attire.
