Chapter 814 - 814 284 Queen Mother Shows Goodwill Military Camp Theft - Part 2

814: Chapter 284: Queen Mother Shows Goodwill, Military Camp Theft – Part 2 814: Chapter 284: Queen Mother Shows Goodwill, Military Camp Theft – Part 2 There was nothing particular; the Queen Mother held great favor for the Human Race, and behind her stood Taoist Hongjun.

Then, moments passed again.

Li Ping’an felt that the gazes on this place were increasing, from the Holy Mother Palace’s main hall to the surrounding temples and buildings.

Unfortunately, the three big shots had already withdrawn the Dao Charm of the Spiritual Treasure, leaving the place without cover.

“Husband, Your Majesty.”

Ningning Mu softly said, “You should attend to your official duties first.”

“That’s fine,” Li Ping’an pinched her delicate hand, “you go and host the Female Immortals from the Taoist Sect for me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Ningning Mu stood up and performed a ritual, which was quite proper and graceful.

She left the pavilion, and right then, Zi Yao Xianzi turned around, and their gazes met.

Ningning Mu smiled warmly and nodded as a greeting.

Zi Yao Xianzi also showed a slight smile and bowed to her, “Greetings to Lady Mu.”

“Please, Lady Zi.”

Ningning Mu gestured for her to come inside, then she went to the front hall on a cloud.

Inside the pavilion, as Li Ping’an watched this scene, he couldn’t figure out whether Ningning Mu harbored any slight resentment or not.

To be discussed later.

Li Ping’an smiled, “May I know what matters bring Zi Yao Xianzi to seek me?”

Zi Yao sighed lightly, her phoenix eyes showing a hint of helplessness as if saying, ‘It’s all because of you, this troublesome situation.’

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched a few times, “We don’t appear to be very familiar; please be careful with your expressions, lest they be misunderstood.”

Zi Yao could only purse her lips.

…

Zi Yao actually did not know why she impulsively came to this pavilion.

When she had been standing with her back to the pavilion, she thought of many matters related to the great affairs of heaven and earth.

Li Ping’an had taken great risks with his actions today;

In Zi Yao’s view, Li Ping’an’s bold visions seemed rather rash, literally putting himself prior to the Human Emperor and the Queen Mother of Humanity, openly confronting the Western Sect.

Was it his intention, or was it arranged by the Human Emperor?

Zi Yao naturally did not know.

But the scene where Li Ping’an blew his trumpet to gather the immortals of the Human Race kept flashing before her eyes; that announcement, devoid of much Dao Charm, was still very impressive.

The oppressed beings;

The Magic Artifacts that created incense;

Such speech was akin to throwing down a gauntlet against the West, inevitably leading to a war with the Western Sect.

Was he prepared for it?

Or had the situation escalated to such a severe extent that the Human Race had to strike first lest they be overwhelmed by the Dao Soldiers of the Western Sect?

Finally, Ningning Mu excused herself.

Zi Yao turned around, and their gazes met.

In Ningning Mu’s eyes, Zi Yao saw emotions she was unfamiliar with, seemingly a sense of happiness that was ‘attainable and obtainable,’ a satisfaction of ‘no regrets if things proceed this way.’

She had never seen such in the eyes of the immortals at the Jade Pool.

‘Is it because there are no men at my Jade Pool?’

Zi Yao pondered in her mind as Li Ping’an began speaking.

His words were still marked by a clear distance and separation.

Zi Yao sighed inwardly but didn’t mind and only said, “I didn’t expect Your Majesty to openly attack the Western Sect today.”

“Have a seat.”

Li Ping’an gestured, and Zi Yao sat down across from him with a dignified and natural posture.

Li Ping’an smiled wryly, “Does Zi Yao Xianzi really think that if we don’t mention the Western Sect, they will not trouble us?”

“Perhaps not,” said Zi Yao slowly, “but the leaders of the sects have the power to destroy heaven and earth; it’s still better not to offend them lightly.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, we have offended them already.”

Li Ping’an sternly continued:

“Is Zi Yao Xianzi here just to remind me of these?

I am sincerely grateful for your timely intervention earlier.”

“Your Majesty is too kind,” Zi Yao’s voice softened, “The Heavenly Court is not yet established, and there are hardly any Ministers around Your Majesty to converse with.

It’s not proper for a woman like me to be so forward.”

“Eh,” said Li Ping’an, “I don’t distinguish between men and women.

In the future Heavenly Court, everything will depend on one’s capabilities and strength.”

“Oh?”

Zi Yao’s eyes glittered with curiosity, “Then, Your Majesty, may I seek an official position based on my contributions this time?

I wish to follow Your Majesty and handle clerical duties in the Misty Realm.”

Li Ping’an hummed briefly.

Such a big shot was keeping a low profile.

Zi Yao then took out a purple jade gourd from her sleeve, placing it on the table with both hands and softly said,

“I heard that Your Majesty needs a great amount of Everlasting Spring Water for cultivation, so I brought over this gourd full of it to offer to Your Majesty.

“I have many faults from before, which I now truly wish to rectify.

May I ask if Your Majesty might give Zi Yao a chance?

“Empathizing with myriad spirits and feeling compassion for the weak, Zi Yao has already started doing so.”

Li Ping’an sighed, “They say ‘no labor, no reward,’ so please keep such treasures, Lady.

You have outstanding talent and your own remarkable nature.

Since you are willing to contribute in the Misty Realm, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse, but the Misty Realm is cold and everything is still starting out, so having you as a clerk would be using your talents too little.”

“It’s alright,” Zi Yao smiled.

“As long as Your Majesty permits, I am willing to endure some hardship.”

“Very well, you can go report to my teacher, Qing Su, later.”

Li Ping’an seriously added,

“The Heavenly Court is not yet fully established, and precise immortal official positions are not available.

“Follow my teacher for now; once you’re in the Misty Realm, we’ll arrange specific duties for you.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Zi Yao stood up and bowed, “Then, Zi Yao will take her leave now.”
