Chapter 0: 82. I Love Palace Lord Ye
Finally, neither of them took the so-called ‘Spirit Oath of Three Chapters.’ Under Qin Gou’s guidance, Ye Qishuang clumsily used the Faceless Hermit’s innate ability and transformed into Qin Yue’s appearance.
The two exchanged some minor details to avoid any slip-ups and swapped their Nas rings before walking out of the grand hall, which had been sealed for a day and a night.
“Palace Lord, Lord Qin, it’s great that you’re alright.” Yi Chengying, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally saw their figures, her bright eyes shining with joy.
Qin Gou nodded slightly and smiled warmly, “Little Chair, you haven’t been waiting outside the whole time, have you?”
Yi Chengying scratched her little head and said, “Little Chair was too worried about the Palace Lord and Lord Qin, so I couldn’t eat or sleep well. I decided to wait outside the hall.” As she spoke, Yi Chengying smiled sweetly at Ye Qishuang.
Ye Qishuang snorted displeasurably. “How rude of this wench! Who allowed you to smile so charmingly at Master’s body?”
Yi Chengying was stunned, completely unaware of where she had offended the Celestial Master again. However, judging by the Palace Lord’s current attitude towards her, she hadn’t seen the ominous ‘Silhouette Lamp’ yet, and the Celestial Master was still very kind to Little Chair.
“Ahem,” Qin Gou waved his hand and said, “Qin Yue, you should go back first. Remember, be careful with everything.”
Ye Qishuang gave Qin Gou a meaningful look and turned to leave.
Looking at Ye Qishuang’s departing back, Yi Chengying asked in confusion, “Palace Lord, why are you still calling the Celestial Master Qin Yue? Could it be that the Blood Oath Great Array wasn’t successful?”
“Successful, very successful.” Qin Gou gritted his teeth.
“Then why…” Before Yi Chengying could finish her sentence, her expression turned to shock.
Qin Gou finally couldn’t hold on any longer. The fatigue from the aftereffects of the Blood Oath Great Array and the intense pain in his head caused him to black out. His body sank heavily, and he was caught in Little Chair’s embrace.
“Palace, Palace Lord, what’s wrong? Don’t scare Little Chair.”
…
Ye Qishuang, with her hands behind her back, strolled leisurely and skillfully returned to Qin Gou’s cave dwelling.
Chen Keshua immediately woke up from his meditation and asked worriedly, “Little Brother Qin, why did you take so long? Are you okay? Did the Palace Lord trouble you?”
Hearing this, Ye Qishuang cast a cold glance at Little Fatty and said without a doubt, “The Palace Lord has always been kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and approachable. How could she possibly trouble me?”
“Hahaha, Little Brother Qin is becoming more humorous. The fierce Palace Lord is nothing like the demure creature you describe.” Chen Keshua burst into laughter.
Ye Qishuang’s expression was startled, and she was instantly furious. She realized that there had been such a bigmouth hiding beside her Master all along, constantly speaking ill of her. She wished she could knead this Little Fatty into a meatball and kick him away.
“Fatty, you’d better pack your things quickly because you will soon have your own cave dwelling and won’t have to live with me anymore.”
“What?” Chen Keshua was bewildered.
Ye Qishuang took out a cave dwelling token from her Nas ring and handed it to Chen Keshua, saying, “It’s a direct command from the Palace Lord. I’ve already reported this matter to the Hall of Disciples. They should send someone to escort you to your new cave dwelling soon.”
“Chen Keshua, where are you?” At that moment, a female voice came from outside the cave dwelling. “I am a disciple from the Hall of Disciples, ordered to guide you.”
Ye Qishuang waved her hand and opened the door to the cave dwelling.
The female disciple from the Hall of Disciples immediately said to Little Fatty, “You are Chen Keshua? I really don’t know what good fortune you’ve stumbled upon. A mere menial laborer like you gets to have your own independent cave dwelling.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Keshua showed no joy on his face. Instead, he hesitated and said, “This… how can this be? Since leaving home, I’ve basically eaten and lived with Little Brother Qin. I can arrange all of Little Brother Qin’s food and daily life perfectly. When Little Brother Qin has free time, he only needs to give me a few pointers, and I can make rapid progress! I am already satisfied with this treatment. I… can I not go? Just leave that cave dwelling empty?”
The female disciple from the Hall of Disciples sneered, “Do you think the Mystic Maiden Palace is your home? How can the Palace Lord’s command be taken lightly? To tell you the truth, your cave dwelling isn’t even in this mountain valley. You cannot enter this place freely after moving out.”
“What!?” Chen Keshua was enraged and, without thinking, blurted out, “How is this a reward? How can the Palace Lord be so malicious and unreasonable?”
“Bold!”
Before the female disciple from the Hall of Disciples could reprimand him, Ye Qishuang beat her to it. Relying on Qin Gou’s body, she said indignantly, “Palace Lord Ye is the most outstanding woman I, this Qin, have ever met. I love her to the bone, and I will never allow you to insult her like this!”
After speaking, Ye Qishuang felt refreshed and comfortable throughout her body.
Chen Keshua was completely stunned, but he had followed Qin Gou for a long time. After a moment of thought, he assumed that Little Brother Qin was up to something big again.
“Presumptuous, Qin Yue! How dare you speak wildly and blaspheme against the honorable Palace Lord!” The female disciple from the Hall of Disciples’ face turned cold, and she targeted Ye Qishuang.
Ye Qishuang glanced dismissively at the female disciple and said righteously, “So what? You can go and report my words to Yi Chengying, Gu Caihe, and the others, or even tell Ye Qishuang herself. See what they can do to me?”
“You… you!” The female disciple stared at Ye Qishuang, dumbfounded, unable to understand why a man dared to be so arrogant in the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace.
“Are you stuttering?” Ye Qishuang looked at the female disciple with disappointment, “Just a simple sentence has made you so flustered? Is this how the Mystic Maiden Palace taught you? Tell this… young master, whose disciple are you?”
“Damn it!” The female disciple gripped the hilt of her sword.
A ripple of light flickered in Ye Qishuang’s eyes, and she coldly smiled, “What? Have you thought it through? Do you really want to fight this young master? You may not have the honor of experiencing my, Qin Yue’s, methods, but you must have heard of them, right?”
The female disciple’s heart panicked, and she gritted her teeth, “Fine, Qin Yue, you just wait! I will report every word you said today to the Saintess and the Palace Lord, without missing a single detail!”
Ye Qishuang watched the female disciple’s hurried departure with a look of frustration, shaking her head.
Chen Keshua excitedly said, “Haha, Little Brother Qin, you’re too amazing! You scared that senior sister away with just a few words!”
Ye Qishuang glared at Chen Keshua angrily and said coldly, “Immediately, right now, pack your things and get lost!” With that, she walked into the room alone.
The pitiful Little Fatty looked innocent, patting his head, and muttered to himself in extreme frustration, “What the heck?”
Could it be that Little Brother Qin was possessed by that Demoness after just one visit to Palace Lord Ye? This attitude, these eyes, this tone! It was as if she was molded from the same clay as Palace Lord Ye.
