The maid instantly understood the intent behind Mu Zixuan’s words, "Yes, Your Highness, I’ll go right now."

Mu Zixuan then said, "Sister Xue, you must have encountered many hardships on your journey to North Country."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong let out a sigh and did not speak, her face showing a look of sadness.

Mu Zixuan quickly tried to comfort her, "I’m sorry, Sister Xue, I shouldn’t have mentioned that. You don’t need to be sad, all of that is in the past now."

Xue Linglong grasped Mu Zixuan’s hand and said, "Sister Zixuan is right, all of that is in the past now."

"It’s all thanks to Ninth Brother. If he hadn’t taken us in, I fear the dozens of us from the East Palace would have ended up with our heads fallen."

At this, Xue Linglong looked into Mu Zixuan’s eyes, "Sister Zixuan, I truly envy you. After marrying the North Prince and coming to such a prosperous and beautiful place in North Country, you’ve lived a happy life of supporting your husband and teaching your children, away from strife, and without the need to live in fear every day."

Mu Zixuan said, "Sister Xue doesn’t know that when we first came to North Country, it wasn’t like this at all. The prosperity of North Country is all thanks to the Prince’s efforts."

Xue Linglong said, "Alas, everyone in the Capital city was blind to the truth back then. Ninth Brother’s talents were unsurpassed. If Ninth Brother hadn’t left for North Country, perhaps he would be the Crown Prince now, and Great Sum wouldn’t be in the situation it is today, with traitorous officials in power."

Mu Zixuan said, "Sister Xue jests. The Prince has no such ambitions. Rather than the position of Crown Prince, the Prince prefers to take more wives and consorts and to live the life of a carefree prince."

Speaking of which, Mu Zixuan asked, "Sister Xue, you’ve been in North Country for a few days now. I wonder if you’re used to everything here?"

"If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask at any time."

Xue Linglong answered, "I’ve gotten used to the basics of living, but since coming to North Country, I’ve had no one to talk to at Lu Mansion."

Xue Linglong’s social circle was within the Capital city. Now that she had left and come to North Country, she hardly knew anyone, let alone had any friends.

Mu Zixuan immediately said, "If Sister Xue feels lonely in North Country, you can always visit North Prince Mansion to talk and chat with me."

Xue Linglong let out a soft sigh, "It’s good that I know Sister Zixuan. If you weren’t in Yan County, I really wouldn’t know whom to talk to."

At this time, the maid brought over a teapot to the pavilion, quickly brewed the tea, and poured a cup for each of the three women.

Mu Zixuan said, "Sister Xue, this is the best tea from the Prince’s Mansion. This tea has the ability to refresh and invigorate the mind. Please, have a taste."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong was not the least bit cautious. As a member of the Demon Sect, she was particularly sensitive to poisons, and she could instantly sense if there was any poison in the tea.

Xue Linglong lifted the teacup, covered the top with one hand, and took a gentle sip.

The next moment, Xue Linglong’s spirit trembled. The tea indeed had the ability to refresh and invigorate the mind; even the flow of spiritual energy within her body became much smoother.

Xue Linglong then put down the teacup and said to Mu Zixuan, "Sister Zixuan, such a precious tea must be exceedingly rare. It seems such a waste to simply brew it for me to drink."

Mu Zixuan said with a smile, "This tea is indeed quite precious, but that’s by comparison to outsiders. Everyone in our Prince’s Mansion drinks this tea."

Xue Linglong thought to herself, no wonder Chu Yuqin was able to break through to the Grandmaster Realm in such a short time. It seems North Prince Mansion has quite a few secrets.

Indeed, following Lu Yi north was the right decision. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile, Chu Yuqin was silently scrutinizing Xue Linglong, feeling puzzled; although Lu Chen had told them that Xue Linglong was a Grandmaster, she couldn’t detect even a hint of a Grandmaster’s aura from Xue Linglong, as if Xue Linglong were just an ordinary person.

Could it be she had cultivated some technique to conceal her aura?

To be able to hide a martial artist’s aura so completely, the cultivation technique she practiced must have come from a particularly powerful force. Xue Linglong’s backing was not simple, and Chu Yuqin became even more cautious, worried that Xue Linglong might harm Mu Zixuan.
