628: Chapter 220 The Annoyed Queen Mother_2 628: Chapter 220 The Annoyed Queen Mother_2 What does the Queen Mother mean by this?

First, she refused to see the messenger I sent, then she dispatched a bad-tempered maid to confront me, yet the message she conveys seems to be one of goodwill.

What’s going on?

“Many thanks to the Queen Mother for her care,”

Li Ping’an said with a smile that did not reveal his teeth, in a gentle voice:

“Please also convey to the Queen Mother that once my injury has recovered, and I have visited my grandmaster and grand-uncles, I will certainly find an opportunity to visit West Kunlun.

For now, my Dao Body is unwell, making it inconvenient to travel.

Besides, the mother of my fiancée is cultivating in the Jade Pool, and I am quite concerned about her.

If the Queen Mother has more messages to send, please dispatch a more reliable maid, and bring back a letter from my mother-in-law.”

After speaking, Li Ping’an poured tea to see the guest out.

The two elders took the initiative to step forward, not allowing the maid any further chance to speak.

The maid said coldly, “I will report all these matters to her in full detail!”

“No need to see me out.”

The maid left with a swish of her dress, followed closely by the two elders who naturally saw her out of the mountain gate.

Feng Tingzhu whispered quietly, “Sir, we have quite a good relationship with the Queen Mother and the Human Race.

Although I don’t know why it seems like there’s a targeted intention against you, haven’t we been a bit rude?”

“I stand up for you, and you still think I’m being rude?”

Li Ping’an glared at Feng Tingzhu:

“What’s going on?

I only asked you to deliver a letter to Ningning’s mother, so why were you stopped outside the door?”

“This, I really do not know,”

Feng Tingzhu sighed:

“I tried every method I could, even used the connections of the Wind Whisper Guard, and asked for the help of two of our Human Race Golden Immortals.

But they wouldn’t say whether Ningning’s mother was in seclusion, nor would they help pass a message for me.

Once, I even saw Ningning’s mother, Mu Cilin, at the entrance to the hidden realm, inside the great array.

But before she could speak, several maids crowded around her, laughing and talking as they escorted her back.”

Li Ping’an nodded slightly, “So, Ningning’s mother is fine, and it’s someone from the Queen Mother’s side who didn’t let you see her?

Strange, why would the Queen Mother do that?”

Feng Tingzhu asked quietly, “Sir, when you sent me to deliver the letter, was it to ask for Ningning’s mother’s consent for your marriage to Miss Mu?”

“Correct, did you peek?”

“What are you talking about,” Feng Tingzhu’s plain face showed a bit of a bitter smile, “I’m working on your behalf, how dare I look at your letters…

If that’s the case, then it explains everything.”

“Explains what?”

“The Queen Mother may be intending to grant you a marriage.”

Feng Tingzhu spoke earnestly:

“You had already gained the support of the Holy Mother and the Human Emperor of our Human Race, with the demeanor of a Heavenly Emperor.

The Queen Mother might be thinking of selecting a fairy-like maid from her hidden realm to grant you a marriage.

They just didn’t expect that the attack on Wanyun Sect by the forces of Wanmo Heaven would lead to a great battle by the Sect Hierarch, propelling your sudden rise.

The Queen Mother’s side surely feels a bit unwilling, which is why they sent an unruly maid to annoy you, and then sent a message showing goodwill towards you.”

Li Ping’an leaned back, puzzled, “The Queen Mother has offspring?

Or disciples?”

Feng Tingzhu muttered quietly, “Her maids are all her registered disciples, the strongest among them is the Nine Heavens Profound Girl, who is now also a consort of our Human Emperor.”

Li Ping’an shook his head with a smile, “Now that I know Ningning’s mother is unharmed, there’s no need to worry about it.

Tingzhu, go to Dong’an City and help me make arrangements.

Invite Zisang and my three personal soldiers to come back to Dong’an City to act as witnesses.

Later, when I go to the Holy Mother Palace, I’ll take Ningning with me and ask the Holy Mother to grant us a marriage.”

Feng Tingzhu hesitated to speak.

“Speak up if you have something to say.”

“Sir, I may say things you don’t like to hear, but I still have to say them,”

Feng Tingzhu whispered:

“Now that your status is high, your wedding is of utmost importance.

It would be best to use the wedding to gain support from a powerful faction.

The family of the divine general Li Mu is indeed a prominent one, but his daughter is not close to them, and besides…

shouldn’t you ask the Emperor?

The Emperor seems to have intentions of granting a marriage as well.”

“Then let’s resolve this before they have the chance to grant a marriage – swiftly and decisively!”

Li Ping’an picked up his tea cup and took a sip, somewhat lost in thought.

“Tingzhu, do you know what I’m most worried about right now?”

“Is it…?”

“It’s losing the Dao heart.”

Li Ping’an’s gaze seemed distant:

“When I faced death, I felt that I had several regrets: one was not having seen the summit of the world, another was not being able to care for my father in his old age, and the third was not being able to marry Ningning.

Nothing else mattered as much as these three things.”

Feng Tingzhu whispered, “Aren’t you going to ask Miss Mu?”

“We have already pledged ourselves for life, so hurry and make the arrangements.

Wang Shan and Xing He are both there.

Discuss it among yourselves and keep it simple, as Wanyun Sect has recently suffered misfortune and it’s not suitable to make elaborate arrangements.

Simplicity will suffice.”

“Understood!”

Feng Tingzhu bowed and accepted the orders, then turned and hurriedly left.

Outside the window, Li Dazhi and Elder Yansheng exchanged glances and smiled slightly.

The shared sorrow they once had was once again diminished.

Inside the side hall, Li Ping’an looked out the window, then began to sit cross-legged to meditate and regulate his breath.

He still didn’t quite understand why the Queen Mother would act this way.

Meanwhile.

At the hidden realm of Kunlun Mountain, on a throne by the edge of the Jade Pool.

The Queen Mother tossed away the Kunlun Mirror in her hand.

A flicker of annoyance crossed her exquisite face, which was swiftly followed by a flash of blue immortal light that restored her expression to its usual languor and indifference.

She leaned her almost perfect figure against the seat, her eyes filled with contemplation.

‘Could it be that this Li Ping’an knows of the old grievances between Nuwa and me?’

‘If he seeks Nuwa to grant the marriage, it would be improper for me to stop him.’

‘Damn it, my teacher had previously tasked me with choosing a Heavenly Emperor.

The two old freaks from the Western Sect failed, but their action allowed Li Ping’an to step through the doors of Heavenly Emperor, and now I have no choice in the matter.’
