Chapter 859: Chapter 242: Farewell to the Four Maids, Peace in the Old Land, Eternal Night Approaches, Invitation from the Immortal Realm

Divine Crow Lady stood by the desk and gave a couple of instructions, resolving all issues.

The disciples of Wendao Palace are numerous, and in the Southern Land, they have a good reputation. Entering the Central Capital with the Xie Sisters, they naturally received countless "positive labels," distinct from those forces subdued by the Human Emperor’s horses in the Social World.

Many of these disciples directly entered the Ministry of Martial Affairs and were then dispatched to various places to maintain order; quite a few entered the Myriad Sects Academy; and an elite group was separately summoned by the Human Emperor.

It could be said that Wendao Palace had just entered the Central Capital and already leaped to become a massive entity.

Divine Crow Lady only felt that this was undoubtedly yet another well-calculated move by her father, and then she continued to ask many questions.

Although the disciples of Wendao Palace had entered the Central Capital, they were all still loyal to their "old superior."

Not to mention, Divine Crow Lady, True Monarch Red Boy, Lady Yama, and the mysterious force that cured them of their "madness" were all powers they could not afford to provoke.

Moreover, the slightly clever disciples of Wendao Palace could perceive that "the Emperor does not annex the Southern Land," and under such undercurrents as "Lady Bai Mei," Divine Crow Lady was definitely connected as well.

Thus, this disciple of Wendao Palace, who had come to serve as the Garrison Commander of Jinxiu County, dared not be negligent and recounted the situations of the Central Capital to Divine Crow Lady in full.

In mid-October, everyone left the Southern Land, leaving the old territory to the earliest Martial Artist refugees from the north, and then entered the Imperial Capital.

Subsequently, they learned that Lady Bai Mei was actually the biological mother of the Human Emperor — Empress Dowager Xie.

And the case of Empress Dowager Xie and the Eunuch self-immolating at Jade Pool Palace was overturned.

The Historian corrected the records, turning the absurd big fire into a Royal Golden Cicada’s Shell.

After all, the real Empress Dowager Xie had merely fled south for refuge, and now she had returned.

And Empress Dowager Xie’s sister reclaimed her heritage, returning to the Xie Family with her daughter.

The Human Emperor studied the legacy of Wendao Palace, observed it for a night, and then dispersed the disciples of Wendao Palace. Some were directly assigned to the Ministry of Martial Affairs, granted the position of "Garrison Commander," then sent to various places to take office first and return after rendering service; these people mostly belonged to the "Overlord Blade" faction; some were sent into the Myriad Sects Academy to continue cultivation; and others became a new branch within the Ministry of Martial Affairs called the "Mo Yi Guard."

The so-called "Mo Yi Guard" is an entity directly enforcing the Human Emperor’s Edict.

The Human Emperor’s reason for establishing the "Mo Yi Guard" was based on reviewing Li Yuan’s "Jade Planting Technique."

"Jade Planting Technique" requires a heart like a bright jade, flawless and transparent, naturally necessitating heroism and the inability to do evil.

This is also why the Human Emperor boldly established the "Mo Yi Guard."

Furthermore, as "Jade Planting Technique" is a Fourth Grade Skill, cultivators capable of practicing it must undoubtedly be at the Peak of Fifth Grade, so the "Mo Yi Guard" are all Fifth Grade as well.

Now, the Commander of the "Mo Yi Guard" turned out to be Li Yuan’s acquaintance — Zhao Chunxin.

This former Vice Palace Master of Wendao Palace, who reached Fifth Grade with the Absolute Blade, was naturally well-versed in the Talisman Seeds of Overlord Blade and Demon Blade.

The Human Emperor allowed her to peruse "Jade Planting Technique," cultivated her with resources, and when her heart needed refining, sent her out on tasks.

These messages were relayed one by one to Li Yuan by Xiao Wu Ya.

And next to Li Yuan, there was only a tall, pale-skinned beautiful woman.

Zhenyan Xue was shocked by the conversation between this father and daughter, but then thinking of her man’s capabilities, she was relieved.

Li Yuan stayed at Lianglong Mountain for some days, partly to settle old acquaintances and partly to gather information.

Now that everything was in order, he mounted his new carriage to leave.

At that moment, an old woman hurried over from afar.

Li Yuan saw it was Xiaozhu and stopped the carriage.

The elderly Xiaozhu was out of breath, carrying a small jar of wine in her hands.

She tried to speak but couldn’t for a moment due to her breathlessness.

Once calm, she said, "Previously, in the business run by the young master and mistress, there was a cellar here storing a lot of wine. But due to the rushed departure, many cellars were sealed, buried deep underground.

I was close to the mistress, thus knew the locations of these cellars, so I went to check and discovered there was still wine in them."

She raised the small jar of wine, smiling in the sunlight, and said, "Fifty-two-year-old Spring Dream Brew."

Fifty-two years ago, Xiaozhao and Ping’an had just been born.

Li Yuan was still in Shanbao County.

Such wine harbored too many memories and was now beyond priceless in this world.

Li Yuan took the wine jar, noticing Xiaozhu staring at him intently, her hands trembling, eyes reddening.

He suddenly understood something and softly said, "Being more attentive than others isn’t always good."

Xiaozhu’s tears burst forth, slipping down her cheeks.

Li Yuan wiped away her tears, gently saying, "This is too cruel for you."

But then he smiled and said, "In that case, come with me."

Xiaozhu knelt down and said, "Please grant me some items as remembrances."

Li Yuan pondered briefly, then turned to retrieve paper and pen from the carriage and called Xiaozhu over.

Xiaozhu was taken aback.

Li Yuan said, "Help me grind the ink."

Xiaozhu smiled and then entered the carriage, carefully picking up the ink block, using all her heart and mind, immersing herself joyfully in grinding the ink.

She ground slowly, while time and memories slowly diffused within.

Beauty turned into an old woman, by the ink-grinding gentleman’s side.

The red sleeves are no longer, black hair turned white frost.

The gentleman lifted his pen, gazed out the window, pondered for a while, and wrote a verse.

Xiaozhu gently recited, "Always envy the jade carver of the human world, heaven should grant him the delicate paneer.

All speak of clear songs heralding bright teeth. The wind stirs, snow flies, the fiery sea turns cool."
