429: Chapter 429 Reunion with Yin Zong

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu's aircraft was indeed worthy of being the top-tier of Blue Star.

At full speed,

it returned to the Vermilion Bird Palace in just three hours.

Regarding the return of Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu,

the Empire had people specifically watching and discovered it immediately.

It was already late at night, and Yin Zong, who was still handling affairs, finally let his hanging heart rest.

Putting down the work at hand, he went to see Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu.

Although

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu had only been away for less than ten days, as the strongest combat power of the Vermilion Bird Empire, he was still quite worried when she wasn't in the Empire.

Not only was he worried about Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu's safety,

but also about the situation of the Empire; after all, they had recently destroyed several large Families with disloyal intentions.

Now that Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu had returned in less than ten days, Yin Zong was filled with gratification; the Palace Master Yun Shu still cared about the Vermilion Bird Empire.

But

the moment he saw Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu, and the man beside her,

Yin Zong was stunned.

"Xiao Weiqing, you dare to come back!"

Yin Zong growled in a low voice.

Xiao Weiqing had already discovered Yin Zong before he arrived; after all, his Divine Soul was now more than one level stronger than Yin Zong's. He wasn't surprised by Yin Zong's arrival, but he didn't pay any attention to it either.

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu, however, said in surprise:

"Elder Yin, why are you here?"

Elder Yin: "?"

That one sentence almost made Yin Zong spit out a mouthful of old blood.

As an Elder of the country with endless government affairs to handle every day, if I'm not here, where should I be?

This is the Vermilion Bird Palace, the place of work; shouldn't I be here?

As a three-reign veteran of the Empire, shouldn't you show some concern that I haven't left so late, working my heart out and without complaint?

Furthermore,

it's so late, and as the ruler of a country, shouldn't you give me an explanation for being in the same room with a man from another country late at night?

Instead, you ask me why I'm here?

Facing Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu's doubt-filled eyes,

Yin Zong sighed deeply; indeed, a grown daughter cannot be kept at home. No matter how high the status or how strong the strength, it's all the same.

"Palace Master Yun Shu, this old servant was just passing by and happened to run into you."

"I wonder how the Palace Master Yun Shu has been faring outside these past few days?"

"Very happy. I've never been this relaxed before."

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu said with a slight smile.

"..."

For some reason, the moment Yin Zong saw Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu's smile, all his anger vanished, replaced only by reflection.

It had only been ten days.

Can a person change this much?

Before, he had almost never seen Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu smile.

But in the last two or three months, he seemed to see Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu smile often; that kind of natural, heartfelt smile made Yin Zong very surprised.

No.

Perhaps he had never truly understood Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu. He had always thought that Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu was just young and didn't know her responsibilities, but would understand later.

In fact,

as a member of the Yun clan, Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu understood better than anyone. Although she didn't manage government affairs, her own strength had never lagged behind, and she hadn't even left the Vermilion Bird Palace many times.

With Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu around, people like them felt confident and wouldn't fall into chaos.

"As long as you're happy. This old servant takes his leave."

Yin Zong seemed to have understood something; he didn't linger and turned to leave.

Perhaps

the Vermilion Bird Empire really needs to get used to the days when Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu is not around; this was the path they were prepared to take anyway.

"Elder Yin..."

Yin Zong turned his head, looking at Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Sure enough.

The Palace Master Yun Shu still has the Empire in her heart, and still cares for us old guys who have exhausted ourselves for the Empire.

"Prepare an aircraft for me tomorrow. Mine is too conspicuous; you discovered it immediately."

"..."

The muscles on Yin Zong's face twitched unnaturally. At this moment, he wished he could slap himself; he wanted to take back all his previous unrealistic fantasies.

"This old servant... understands."

Yin Zong shot a fierce glare at Xiao Weiqing and turned to leave.

It was all thanks to this guy. Ever since this guy appeared, Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu seemed like a different person.

Changing the aircraft tomorrow clearly meant she was going to leave again.

He was really afraid he wouldn't be able to resist hitting Xiao Weiqing, but with his strength, he couldn't beat Xiao Weiqing. He didn't think Xiao Weiqing was someone who respected the elderly.

So, it was better to leave early.

After Yin Zong left,

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Aren't you going to tell them that we're going to the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall?"

"What's the use of telling them? It'll only make them worry. Besides, it's not good to alert the enemy," Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu explained.

Xiao Weiqing nodded. Regarding the Azure Dragon Divine Hall, even Great Xia had traitors inside, let alone the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall.

He believed that if Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu said now that she was going to the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall tomorrow, the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall would receive the news in less than three minutes.

"Don't worry, we probably won't end up fighting during this trip to the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall."

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu asked curiously, "You're so sure?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded and said, "According to Xiao Yin, the four Divine Halls are headed by the Azure Dragon Divine Hall, and the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy is also the strongest. Now that the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy is dead, the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy shouldn't be that foolish."

"That makes sense."

"It's best if no conflict occurs, but the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy must hand over the Divine Hall. You have to help me then; if there's anything good in the Divine Hall, I can give you a share," Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu said.

Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Sure."

It was better for the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall to be in the hands of the Vermilion Bird Empire than in the hands of the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy. From the current situation, the four Divine Halls and Blue Star probably weren't of one mind.

This could be seen from when the four Divine Envoys besieged Dongfang Hao.

As a person of Great Xia, Xiao Weiqing always believed in one principle: it's better to keep one's destiny in one's own hands.

"Then it's settled."

"Yeah."

Having unified their goal, the two suddenly fell silent.

After a while,

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu said, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Xiao Weiqing was about to answer when he heard Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu say again:

"Why don't you stay at my place? My house is very big."

"..."

Xiao Weiqing was stunned upon hearing this and looked straight at Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu.

"I mean, my house is very big and has many empty rooms. It's more convenient for you to stay with me, and we can leave together tomorrow morning."

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu also seemed to feel that her words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly explained.

"Forget it, it's not appropriate."

Are you kidding?

There are so many eyes in the Vermilion Bird Palace.

If Xiao Weiqing really stayed at Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu's place, he would probably be on the Empire's headlines tomorrow, and even the entire Blue Star might know.

That old fellow Yin Zong would probably eat him alive.

Although he wasn't afraid,

Xiao Weiqing didn't like being gossiped about.

"Then what about you?"

"You don't need to worry about me. I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

"Alright then, see you tomorrow."

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu waved her hand and left directly, without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Xiao Weiqing didn't linger much either. He restrained his aura and flew towards the Vermilion Bird Palace...

Not far from the Vermilion Bird Palace, he found a luxury hotel and simply booked a room.

Then,

he took out the second-grade Divine Body treasure he carried with him and continued Constructing a Divine Body. Xiao Weiqing always believed in a saying.

With progress every day and growth every month, there will eventually be gains.

Cultivate.

Don't waste any time.
