347: Back to the palace

After expressing her gratitude repeatedly, Liang Yun returned to her Immortal Cave to go into seclusion.

A full month passed before she finally emerged from her Immortal Cave.

At this moment, the aura around her had become quite solid. The Realm she had attained previously by relying on Medicinal Pills and food had now solidified its foundation.

As soon as Liang Yun stepped out of the Immortal Cave, she saw her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters waiting at the entrance.

The living area for Personal Disciples was quite different from that of other Disciples, especially the area where the Sect Master's Personal Disciples lived, which was quite far from where the other Disciples resided.

They lived separately on a small hill, where everyone could chat and drink tea when not busy with Cultivation.

Occasionally, there would be activities like playing chess or grilling meat.

"Junior Sister has finished seclusion?"

Little Fatty Bai stood up, and after just one glance, a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems Junior Sister has gained quite a lot this time; you've actually broken through to the seventh level of the Loose Immortal Realm in one go. Junior Brother Du, Junior Sister is probably going home for a visit now, and you're the only one left who hasn't offered anything."

Upon hearing this, Du Xian also stood up, a smile appearing on his face.

"Junior Sister, I was in seclusion for some matters previously, so I couldn't come to see you right away. Let me make it up to you this time."

Having heard that everyone else had taken out some benefits, Du Xian decisively chose to curry a little favor as well.

Liang Yun originally wanted to refuse, but her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were simply too enthusiastic.

"Thank you all so much, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, for being so kind to me!!"

Liang Yun had originally thought she would arrive in a place where people were indifferent and everyone just focused on Cultivation all the time.

However, she hadn't expected that everyone here would treat her so warmly, whether it was the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters she had never met before, or her Revered Master, who was so good to her.

"These are just the basics. Alright, alright, you go ahead. Your Senior Brother is very fast; you two should make it a quick trip."

Du Xian nodded, then flicked his sleeves.

Suddenly, a huge light barrier appeared, directly covering the two of them.

The two rose into the air and headed toward the distance at an extreme speed.

Liang Yun was shocked by this speed; it was simply too fast. The surrounding mountains and rivers almost vanished in an extremely blurry form. At this speed, they wouldn't even need half an hour to reach her Family's Imperial Palace.

"Junior Sister."

Du Xian's expression became increasingly gloomy, and his voice was equally deep and low.

Liang Yun's heart tightened slightly; she had no idea what had happened.

"What is it? Senior Brother? Is something the matter?"

Du Xian sighed softly.

"I may not be as talented or versatile as your other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. My personality is also a bit cold and not particularly good; one could even say I am crazy."

"As long as you need anything, you can tell me at any time. If anyone bullies you, I will go and take revenge for you."

Ever since his whole Family died, Du Xian's temperament had become extremely violent.

Especially those who dared to provoke him; they would basically die a horrible death.

Previously, because someone insulted his Revered Master, he had beaten the person until they were bloody and battered. Even if he knew he couldn't win, he would still fight with his life on the line.

Many such incidents had made his emotions become extremely extreme.

Although he didn't know methods like grilling meat or robbing others, he would fight with his life, and his strength was extremely formidable. Even though he was the last Disciple, in terms of combat power, no one was likely his match.

When everyone sparred, it was just a small test of skills, but this guy would actually fight for his life!

Once Du Xian started fighting, he was like a madman. The Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters dared not look for him to spar. If it weren't for his status, perhaps even the Elders would not be willing to spar with him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother. If I really encounter any trouble, I will definitely tell you."

Liang Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief; she had thought she had done something wrong and offended her Senior Brother.

It seemed it wasn't her issue.

Du Xian nodded, then did not speak further.

They soon arrived above the nation, and Du Xian descended above the Imperial Palace, lowering his altitude.

After landing slowly, a familiar life appeared before her.

The moment she saw this familiar figure, Liang Yun's eyes immediately moistened.

This was her mother, who had become the Empress.

At this moment, she appeared graceful and opulent, wearing the finest silks and satins. The Phoenix hairpin on her head looked particularly vibrant.

Her mother was currently taking a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Liang Yun's eyes were slightly red, and with a flash, she arrived in front of her mother.

Seeing her appear, the current Empress was startled at first, then a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

"Yun'er."

Hearing her mother's gentle voice and feeling her warm palm, Liang Yun smiled.

"Have you been doing well these days?"

"The Emperor hasn't treated you badly, has he?"

Liang Yun asked somewhat urgently.

"Rest assured, Mother has been doing very well during this time. Thanks to your blessing, Mother has gained status in this harem due to her child's success."

The Empress smiled slightly, and the appreciation in her eyes for her daughter could be said to be beyond measure.

Liang Yun also smiled and chatted with her for a few more sentences, then walked step by step toward the Zhengda Guangming Hall.

That was the place where the Emperor held court. At this time, the Emperor should be there handling state affairs and listening to reports from the ministers.

They soon arrived outside the golden hall, and Du Xian followed behind her, looking around, his eyes unable to hide a sense of desolation.

There seemed to be many people here; his own Family had been the same in the past.

It was a pity that times had changed, and everything was different now.

The Sect Master had brought many people's Family members along for Ascension, but his own Family had long since died or scattered.

Looking at the hall she had visited before, Liang Yun's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence.

Ever since her brothers started fighting for power, she had not come to this place again.

Because once she appeared here, it would give people the impression that she craved power. If she were to be dragged into the political vortex, she would only die faster. Therefore, back then, she chose to leave the Imperial Palace and go outside to find a Revered Master for pure Cultivation.

Although Liang Yun's mother only had Golden Core Cultivation, she did have talent for Cultivation.

Just a moment ago, she had given her mother some resources for Cultivation, hoping that in the future, her mother would also have the chance to reach the Immortal Rank.

The standard for the Imperial Family to select consorts was that they must have Cultivation. Having Cultivation proved they had talent. Combining with an Emperor who also had talent, perhaps they could give birth to a very outstanding child.

The probability of this was only one in tens or hundreds of billions, but it had actually resulted in such a child, who was none other than Liang Yun.

Liang Yun's talent had been hidden away since childhood, so no one discovered it, and by now, she had been hurt by the struggle for power.
