Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 80 - 71: Zhu Nanzhi Makes the Qingmiao Palace Master Feel ’Horrified

Chapter 80: Chapter 71: Zhu Nanzhi Makes the Qingmiao Palace Master Feel ’Horrified

Qingmiao Palace.

The Palace Master, Xiao Yinruo, adorned in a white dress, arrived at Zhu Nanzhi’s seclusion place. The moment her ethereal presence touched the ground, the surrounding flora and trees slightly bowed.

"Palace Master."

Han Wu, who was feeding the fish in the water, promptly stood up and approached with a salute, his expression somewhat troubled: "The Holy Daughter has not yet emerged."

"No matter." Xiao Yinruo gently shook her head; she had already informed Nanzhi of today’s departure and knew Nanzhi would definitely not delay.

Because the ’pig’ that took away her own ’Cabbage’ is in Wandao Sect.

Though more than half a month had passed, Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but feel gloomy at the thought of that woman’s disciple sleeping with the apprentice she painstakingly raised.

Particularly since Nanzhi was so easily ensnared by Lu Jin’an — Xiao Yinruo couldn’t forget Nanzhi’s words upon returning to the sect: "Husband still likes me."

That face of protectiveness often left Xiao Yinruo with a helpless feeling of raising someone else’s child.

Nonetheless, what comforted Xiao Yinruo was that her ’Cabbage’ did not impulsively run away with Lu Jin’an, but returned and remained honest with her Master.

’No, the fact that she knew to come back is to be expected; how can I find comfort in that?’

Xiao Yinruo rubbed her temples with a wry smile, the first time she felt so speechless about Nanzhi.

Moreover...

She glanced at the obediently standing Han Wu, her expression increasingly helpless as she recalled the many details Han Wu had revealed, further perplexed by ’Cabbage’ willingly jumping for the ’pig.’ frёewebηovel.cѳm

Xiao Yinruo admitted that Pei Wanyu’s disciple was a good-looking person, yet why did Nanzhi fall for...no, why did she develop lust at first sight?

Who forces someone to marry right upon meeting them?

And that Lu Jin’an, clearly much stronger than Nanzhi, why did he not resist?

Did they just lock eyes and then ’collided?’

This is absurd!

"Alas~"

Xiao Yinruo sighed softly, dismissing her thoughts as she gazed at the pavilion where Nanzhi was secluded.

As for Xiao Li, the Flawless Immortal Body being killed by Nanzhi, she didn’t think it was a big deal.

After all, Lin Mu was connected to the Upper Realm, and Xiao Li sided with Lin Mu. Even if she were there, she would eliminate this threat without hesitation.

Since even if brought back, Xiao Li could never be part of Qingmiao Palace and would eventually serve the Upper Realm.

’Lu Jin’an was considerate of Nanzhi, knowing she went there for Xiao Li, and thus gave Xiao Li a chance to choose.’

At this thought, Xiao Yinruo’s expression softened somewhat, just hoping Nanzhi wouldn’t have a warm heart stuck to Lu Jin’an’s cold shoulder.

"My disciple is so beautiful; if Lu Jin’an truly harbors playful intentions, even in front of that woman, I would have to deal with him..."

Muttering to herself, Xiao Yinruo quickly looked up as she heard the door ahead opening, seeing Nanzhi gracefully emerge.

She walked with a flexible waist and subtle footsteps, revealed her slender wrist through the light gauze. Her azure eyes shimmering with gentle waves, her hair half loose, half tied, adorned with a jade tassel. Her elegant classical face appeared even more delicate and effulgent with the light makeup.

A light blue Jiao Ling Ruqun with a Soft Smoke Luo belt perfectly outlined her graceful figure. The lightweight outer garment partially concealed her frame, but the icy white jade pendant at her side added even more charm.

Xiao Yinruo’s eyes brightened at once; the ’Cabbage’ she had nurtured was indeed vibrantly charming.

’This is natural beauty, absolutely not because that kid Lu Jin’an had nurtured it.’

This thought abruptly surfaced in her mind, which she quickly dispelled. But... she had to admit, compared to a year and a half ago when she first left Qingmiao Palace, Nanzhi now was undoubtedly more captivating.

"Master." Stopping, Zhu Nanzhi gave a slight bow to Xiao Yinruo, her expression calm and composed, pure and elegant, like a red plum blooming on a snow mountain, beautiful and striking.

Seeing Nanzhi’s cold demeanor, Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.

This wasn’t right.

Logically speaking, Nanzhi, who would set off for the Wandao Sect today, should be overjoyed and full of excitement about ’Lu Jin’an’, so why was she like this?

Recently, when she was conferred as the Holy Daughter, she was also absentmindedly murmuring "husband," how could such excitement fade in just a few days?

Did something go wrong with her cultivation?

Xiao Yinruo was rather resigned about her mindset at the moment; she was clearly speechless about Nanzhi always favoring Lu Jin’an, yet now she was unwittingly worried about her not thinking of Lu Jin’an.

So she grasped Nanzhi’s fair wrist for a quick check, hmm?

Xiao Yinruo’s eyes flashed with surprise; had she already achieved Harmonization?

Moreover, her cultivation was extremely stable, with no flaws at all.

Xiao Yinruo knew that the key to the ’Supreme Forget Love Immortal Technique’ lay in comprehension, where the more perfect the ’Forget Love,’ the faster the progress.

Though she knew Nanzhi possessed the Pristine Immortal Body, she hadn’t expected Nanzhi to break through two minor realms to reach Harmonization so swiftly.

Did Nanzhi have such a profound understanding of ’Forget Love’?

Just because she liked Lu Jin’an?

Xiao Yinruo pressed her red lips, assured that Nanzhi hadn’t fallen onto the Heartless Path, before releasing her wrist.

Yet she still couldn’t quite understand.

If Nanzhi had such in-depth insight into the Forget Love Path, why was she now in this calm, cool state?

Where had it gone wrong?

Zhu Nanzhi gazed calmly at Xiao Yinruo: "Master?"

Xiao Yinruo smiled faintly: "You and Han Wu go ahead; I forgot to bring something."

"Hmm." Zhu Nanzhi nodded slightly, leaving the Zhanming Palace with Han Wu first.

After watching Zhu Nanzhi and Han Wu depart, Xiao Yinruo didn’t leave but instead turned towards the Jingxin Pavilion, where Nanzhi had been secluded.

She wished to discern from the clues within the Jingxin Pavilion what trouble had befallen Nanzhi.

Upon pushing open the door and halting her steps, Xiao Yinruo’s expression slowly changed, filled with disbelief.

The walls within the Jingxin Pavilion were neatly adorned with countless portraits depicting various poses: the husband’s training picture, the husband daydreaming painting, the husband’s back...

Countless such images filled all the walls!

On the tabletop beside, one by one, there were wood carvings and jade carvings of Lu Jin’an neatly arranged, occupying the space compactly!

And on the bed within, a long bolster lay quietly, the silk covering it embroidered with nothing but a smiling Lu Jin’an!

Jingle, jingle~

The gentle breeze blew in through the room, ringing the wind chimes on the roof; underneath each wind chime dangled fan-shaped paper pages, each meticulously depicting Lu Jin’an.

Xiao Yinruo stepped back out of the threshold, closed the door, and shut her eyes.

The myriad of ’Lu Jin’an’ images captured in a single glance inexplicably instilled a sense of shiver-invoking unease in her heart as the Master of Qingmiao Palace.

For the first time, Xiao Yinruo felt a sense of unfamiliarity toward Zhu Nanzhi, whom she had raised single-handedly.

"Nan... Nanzhi?"
