The girl with the mask turned her head slightly, to look at Xue Er who was smiling prettily like a flower and she nodded her head slightly.
Xue Er went on to say smilingly on her own: “Senior, would you say that the Palace Lord’s words are true? Our benefactor is really coming back?”
The eyes of the masked girl flashed briefly as the bright sparkling eyes lowered in remorse.
“Since that was what Lord Ye Mei said to the Palace Lord, then it should be true.” The masked girl replied.
“No wonder the Palace Lord has been urging us to tidy up the various branches properly. It seems that our Lord wants to let our benefactor see how the lands have been reborn?” Xue Er said with a laugh.
Throughout the Spirit Jade Palace, the fact that not a single one among them would covet anything from the citizens was not just because the Spirit Jade Palace Lord had issued strict orders against it, but it was more due to the fact that all of them were well aware of where everything they had gained today really came from.
They were not the ones who obliterated the Twelve Palaces, and these rewards were not supposed to be theirs to enjoy. They were merely managing things on someone’s behalf and though the Spirit Jade Palace Lord had never said anything about it, they knew very clearly that everything the Spirit Jade Palace Lord was doing was merely trying to cleanse these filthy forsaken lands and return them to that person.
This was not what they should be getting afterall.
The Spirit Jade Palace had never seen themselves as the successor of the Twelve Palaces. What they had always sought and pursued had never been supreme authority, but just a breath of freedom.
“Mm” The masked girl answered softly, her eyes still peering far off into the distance. This time, her eyes were tinged with sadness and a little conflicted.
They seemed a little expectant, but fearful of something at the same time.
Suddenly, over the line where the Heavens and Earth joined, two black specks appeared over the horizon. Under the sunlight, they gradually became bigger.
The masked girl’s eyes widened slightly, her breathing becoming a little hurried.
In an instant, three figures suddenly appeared beside her and Xue Er. The three people were all dressed in black, and it was Ye Sha, Ye Gu, and Ye Mei. The three men’s eyes were bright as torches as they watched the two black specks slowly magnify, excitement and anxiety rising in their eyes.
They stood there barely for just a blink when they suddenly shot themselves forward straight towards the two dark figures!
Xue Er held the masked girl’s hand nervously while feeling excited at the same time, before she said anxiously: “Senior! ! Senior! ! That….. That…..”
“She’s back.” The masked girl’s eyes narrowed slightly, filling up with a smile.
Xue Er was staring with her eyes wide, as she watched the two figures gradually coming clearer into view.
Upon the magnificent white horses, a flawlessly beautiful young lady and a man with peerlessly handsome countenance rode shoulder to shoulder. The wild wind blew their hair up behind them, the two figures seemingly leaving a trail of themselves behind the places they passed.
Ye Sha and the two others sped forward at great speed to welcome them, and in the instant just before they were to meet the two figures, the three of them fell in uniform onto one knee!
“Your subordinate Ye Sha, Ye Mei, and Ye Gu, welcomes Lord Jue and the Eldest Miss on your return!”

Jun Wu Xie pulled back on the reins and the magnificent horse raised itself up as it kicked its front hooves, coming to a stop about five steps before Ye Sha and the others.
“MEH MEH MEH~! ! !” A spherical white ball suddenly shot out from Ye Sha’s arms, burying its head right into Jun Wu Xie’s embrace.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her head and looked at Lord Meh Meh who was madly being an absolutely adorable fluff ball and her eyes could not help but show traces of a smile.
“Meh meh…..” Lord Meh Meh raised up a tiny hoof and stroked Jun Wu Xie’s body, its underbelly facing up to reveal its soft unprotected belly as it made highly aggrieved noises for having missed Jun Wu Xie so much, the sounds making people’s hearts melt.
A year’s time, to Jun Wu Xie had passed in just a blink of an eye. But to Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit who were filled with nothing but longing, every single day felt like a year. Having gotten so used to being by Jun Wu Xie’s side and smelling the refreshing scent on her, used to munching upon the scrumptious green grass around Jun Wu Xie’s feet. Being parted for one whole year, it only made the two adorable and foolish beasts miss Jun Wu Xie increasingly.
Jun Wu Xie lifted a hand up to rub Lord Meh Mehs tummy and Ye Mei who was on one side also stood up, to carry the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit who was trembling hard with excitement over into Jun Wu Xie’s arms.
The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit was trembling so hard it could not even stand firmly but to lean into Jun Wu Xie’s arms as it rubbed its furry little head against Jun Wu Xie’s chest.
The little black cat stood upon Jun Wu Xie’s shoulders as it stared at the two dumb beasts whose eyes were brimming with tears and it harrumphed indignantly. Seemingly haughty and proud, its swishing curled up tail however revealed the amount of joy it was feeling.
Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie who was surrounded by the ignorant beasts with an indiscernible smile. When he saw the gentleness in her eyes when she lowered her head, his heart turned uncharacteristically soft, where he wished that she would be free from worries in this life for her.
“Lord Jue.” Ye Sha said respectfully to Jun Wu Yao.
Jun Wu Yao nodded slightly.
“Everything has all been prepared. Will Lord Jue and Eldest Miss first go get some rest?” Ye Mei said
Lord Mei Mei and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit were so excited that they could not calm themselves. With the two adorable beasts acting all coy and cute in her arms, Jun Wu Xie was not able to ride her horse at all. Hence, Jun Wu Yao carried Jun Wu Xie up and let her sit side saddle before him, before he rode forward together with her. Ye Sha then took the initiative to lead Jun Wu Xie’s stallion, and followed behind with Ye Mei and Ye Gu.
Urging the horse to go before the city gates, Xue Er and the masked girl standing upon the slope immediately came running down, to kneel respectfully before the horse carrying Jun Wu Yao and Jun Wu Xie.
“Disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace, have under the orders of the Palace Lord, come to welcome you.” Xue Er’s voice rang out loud and clear, while the masked girl just knelt quietly beside her, her head lowered in silence.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at Jun Wu Yao, knowing that the news of their return must have been sent out by Jun Wu Yao through some special method to Ye Mei and the others in advance, and that piece of news had then been transmitted to reach the Spirit Jade Palace Lord’s ears.
“The Palace Lord has already prepared places for both of you to rest so will you two please come with us?” Xue Er said pliantly.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head slightly.
“Thank you.”
Xue Er was immediately shocked by the favour shown to her and she quickly shook her head.
“Miss Jun is the Spirit Jade Palace’s great benefactor and you do not need to mention it at all. We are merely just doing what we should be doing.” Xue Er had only seen Jun Wu Xie dressed as a male before and had never seen Jun Wu Xie’s real looks. Seeing it today, she was so shocked she thought she was gazing upon a celestial being. She had not known that there was such a beautiful looking young lady in this world. Her eyes and brows were like Heaven’s most perfect creation, where not the slightest flaw could be seen. Even though she was a girl, under that countenance, it was feared that she would be mesmerized and enthralled just the same.

Jun Wu Xie was feeling slightly helpless. The gratitude and sincerity in Xue Er’s words was something she was unable to overlook. But Jun Wu Xie had never thought that she would gain such great gratitude from the Spirit Jade Palace. To her, she had merely kept her side of the bargain she had made initially. After the Twelve Palaces were destroyed, the Spirit Jade Palace was to be to be pushed to stand at the top. All of this had been the promise made between the Spirit Jade Palace Lord and her, hence, she did not feel that she had done anything that was worthy of such gratitude from the Spirit Jade Palace.
Although that was how Jun Wu Xie considered the entire matter, but that was not what everyone in the the Spirit Jade Palace thought.
Before Xue Er’s eager hospitality, Jun Wu Xie could do nothing but to follow the lead of Ye Mei and the others to go into the city.
It was until the figures of Jun Wu Xie and the others had gone into the city that Xue Er and the masked girl climbed to their feet. But even after they did, the astonishment in Xue Er’s eyes did not fade as her mouth remained slightly open while her hand clutched at her chest, discreetly gasping a little.
“So Miss Jun is actually such a beautiful lady. She’s just too beautiful for words. Compared to Miss Jun, all the beauties in the Middle Realm will have to stand aside.” Xue Er was highly sincere with her words. After seeing Jun Wu Xie, the beauties in the Middle Realm suddenly lost the allure they previously possessed. Especially when compared against the image of Jun Wu Xie quietly sitting there in Jun Wu Yao’s embrace, it was as entrancing as a painting. A peerless beauty leaning in the arms of a man with a flawless countenance. That was an image that made one unable to turn their eyes away from.
The masked girl lowered her eyes. When she had seen Jun Wu Xie and the others, she had not spoken a single word, to the extent that she did not even dare to gaze upon Jun Wu Xie at all, but was just trying her best to diminish her presence.
“She has always been so perfect.” The gentle voice rang out under the mask, tinged with a trace of yearning and helplessness.
Xue Er was at a loss as she looked at the masked girl, her lips moving but hesitant to speak. In the end, she did not say anything but just sighed, feeling powerless.
When Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao went into the city, the countenance of the two of them immediately drew the attention of the citizens in the city. The highly bustling main street had quietened almost instantly, as all eyes were turned upon the magnificent stallion, to stare at the two figures leaning against each other.
The looks of those two people had far surpassed the boundaries of the people’s imagination and everyone just stopped what they were doing as their faces twisted up in amazement to stare at the couple, a match made in Heaven.
The place that the Spirit Jade Palace Lord had prepared for Jun Wu Xie and the others was at the Spirit Jade Palace’s branch. The rooms were highly spacious, elegantly classy and not ostentatious. Exquisite and intricately detailed everywhere, where even the tea set casually placed upon the table were of the supreme grade ceramic glaze, which was considered to be extremely luxurious, but not gawdy.
“The Spirit Jade Palace Lord has prepared one room that is exactly the same as this in every single one of the branches.” Ye Mei said.
Jun Wu Xie raised one of her eyebrows slightly.
The Spirit Jade Palace Lord’s personality was really rather eccentric, but….. he made for quite a good partner in an alliance.
“Why do we not see Qiao Chu and the others?” Ye Sha could not stop himself from asking after he escorted Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao into the room.
If his memory served him correctly, Qiao Chu and the others had gone to the Spirit World with Jun Wu Xie.
“Their flesh bodies are in the Lower Realm, so after we left the Spirit World, they went straight back to the Lower Realm. They should have returned back into their bodies by now.” Jun Wu Xie answered. It wasn’t that she did not want to bring her companions with her, but as their flesh bodies were not in the Middle Realm, if she dragged them to come along with her here into the Middle Realm straight away, wouldn’t that turn them into wandering spirits?
