The prefectural office's side courtyard was meant for receiving guests. Though it was called a side courtyard, it actually occupied several acres and could house quite a few people. The Hao Yang True Person's Yuezhou delegation was staying there now, and with the arrival of the Queen Mother of the West, she naturally had to stay there as well. After all, I hadn't agreed to do anything for either side or offered my help. To avoid suspicion, I had to treat them equally, so I arranged for the Queen Mother of the West to stay there too. As for whether they wanted to fight or argue, that was none of my concern.

Judging from the Queen Mother of the West's meaning, she also wanted Yun Bingxin to visit me regularly. She had quite a way of playing the emotional card, and I couldn't very well refuse—that would make Yun Bingxin lose face. This gourd doll was proud and aloof. Though her face was usually as tranquil as autumn waters, she was actually extremely arrogant at heart. If I rejected her, she would certainly be deeply dissatisfied.

I thought for a moment before saying, "All right. Fellow Daoist Yun, if there's anything regarding cultivation you'd like to discuss, just come over directly. You don't need to be so restrained."

What if these girls really start tearing into each other? I can't afford to offend any of them. I immediately sent Zhao Qian a voice transmission: "Put them next door to the Hao Yang True Person and see what happens."

Zhao Qian looked at me and nodded rather aggrievedly.
