Located behind a giant bird with a wingspan of nearly 100 feet, the Mystic Eagle Pavilion is truly enormous, with a total of five floors.

The upper three floors were where Xu Yuan and his entourage lived, while the lower two floors were areas for the servants to move around in.

Yes, servants also live in this attic, including a butler, guards who manipulate formations, and cooks, but most of them are the beautiful young maids.

Once outside the room, their figures could be seen in every alleyway.

About twenty people wait in shifts day and night.

Having signed a contract of servitude, he was directly bound to this pavilion, which was considered a bonus when purchasing the Mystic Eagle Pavilion.

As long as you have enough money, Tian'an Chamber of Commerce's main selling point is providing door-to-door service.

Stepping out of the room, one finds a meticulously maintained, expensive velvet carpet lining the corridor, its air filled with a subtle fragrance.

Some of the maids who were waiting in the corridor bowed when they saw Xu Yuan and Lou Ji come out:

"Third Young Master"

Upon hearing the separate address, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at Lou Ji.

Lou Ji raised her hand and gently tapped Xu Yuan's forehead, then chuckled and said:

"Not everyone can see my sister. Even if everyone can see her, I can't see her face clearly if I don't want to."

Lou Ji never hid anything from Xu Yuan, but that was because he was Xu Yuan.

Even without wearing any clothing or accessories to conceal her Veil Hat, others would still be unable to see her features clearly.

Even some sect leaders of large sects did not know her true appearance, only having the impression of a mysterious and extremely venomous woman.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, they work in intelligence, so it's not really suitable for them to be in the public eye.

However, the ability to achieve this must likely stem from Lou Ji's permanently unfolding Dao Domain.

Xu Yuan pondered

Clatter

As the latch on the side door was suddenly opened from the inside, Xu Yuan turned his head to the side and raised his hand to touch his cheek.

broken.

He remembered that there seemed to be something on his face that he hadn't wiped off.

The wooden door, made of awakening wood, opened without making a sound.

The door opened.

A slightly shorter, slender figure appeared expressionlessly at the doorway. Her golden eyes swept over Xu Yuan, who had turned around, and the voluptuous, tall, and venomous woman beside him.

Wiping the hickeys off his face, Xu Yuan slowly turned his head to meet the other person's icy gaze. He reached out his hand, a gentle smile on his face, and said:

"Sky"

Bang!

After the cold gaze, the door slammed shut.

"." Xu Yuan.

Lou Ji, seeing this, giggled and egged him on, saying:

"Why did the Holy Maiden go back to her room and sulk without saying a word today? She used to argue with her sister a bit."

Before the words were finished,

Bass!

A soft creak came from the door, a gentle breeze brushed through his hair, and Xu Yuan saw a tiny hole appear in the wooden door.

Something shot through the folding wooden door at a speed he couldn't see.

She subconsciously turned around and saw Lou Ji slightly raise her hand behind her, her two slender fingers pinching a hairpin that was shooting towards her forehead.

Lou Ji examined the hairpin with great interest, then chuckled softly towards the doorway:

"Even when the Holy Maiden presents a gift, she goes around in circles. This hairpin is indeed quite precious, so it would be impolite of me to refuse it, sister."

After saying that, the woman directly put Tianyan's hairpin into her Sumeru Ring.

"."

There was no reply from inside the room.

Xu Yuan was pondering whether to go inside and coax her when Lou Ji forcibly dragged him away.

A few breaths after the two left, the wooden door of the side room on the other side of Xu Yuan's room was suddenly opened.

Bai Muxi cautiously peeked out and glanced at the corridor, a thoughtful look flashing in her bright eyes, before slowly walking to the front of the Tianyan Gate.

Before Bai Muxi could knock, Tianyan's clear voice rang out, somewhat cold, as if using indifference to mask the grievances in his heart:

What for?

Bai Muxi's eyes flickered, and she whispered:

"His Highness Wu Yuan instructed me before his departure to follow the Holy Maiden in cultivating the Heaven-Overturning Six Elements Art."

"."

After a moment of silence, the door opened.

Tianyan glanced coldly at the woman in front of the door, then turned and walked into the room, sitting down on a futon.

"That woman didn't teach me the whole Cultivation Method; there's only so much I can teach you."

"Yes, His Highness Wu Yuan has already informed me of this matter."

Bai Muxi followed slowly, sitting opposite Tianyan, and carefully observed his expressionless face. "Holy Maiden, are you angry?"

Tianyan looked like he was about to explode. "You came here just to mock me?"

As she traveled south, she knew very well that Bai Muxi liked to play dirty tricks. If it weren't for Li Qingyan constantly keeping her in check, Bai Muxi would probably have climbed into that bastard's bed countless times by now.

Li Qingyan deliberately taught her half of the Cultivation Method so that she could control this woman surnamed Bai.

Two cunning women.

Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi quickly shook her head and whispered:

"Holy Maiden, you misunderstand. Although I am somewhat beautiful, I know that in your heart I am merely a concubine, so how could I dare to mock you?"

"." Tianyan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Although the other person spoke sincerely, she always felt that they were being sarcastic or unfriendly.

Wait, a concubine?

Tianyan stared at her and asked in a clear voice:

"Did you appoint yourself as a concubine?"

"."

Upon hearing Tianyan's words, Bai Muxi was taken aback, but she quickly realized that her understanding seemed to differ from Tianyan's.

Inside the Underground Palace,

The strong have absolute right to choose their partners; polygamy and polyandry are perfectly normal for them.

Because the offspring of the strong have a higher probability of becoming cultivators.

In the etiquette of the Great Yan that she had learned, such concepts were very similar to those in the Underground Palace, only packaged in a more respectable and elegant way.

On their journey south to Guangyang Prefecture, the Holy Maiden and the Princess were constantly at odds.

Bai Muxi had always believed that the Holy Maiden and the Princess were vying for the position of the young master's principal wife. However, Bai Muxi knew very well that her current status and relationship with the young master were insufficient to compete for that position. Therefore, she directly told the Holy Maiden that she considered herself a concubine to show her humble and subservient attitude.

After all, compared to the unfathomably Wu Yuan, the straightforward and honest Holy Maiden before them was clearly easier to get along with and easier to fool.

But now it seems she was wrong.

And it's completely wrong.

This saintess wasn't fighting for the position of principal wife at all; she was fighting for the young master's entire being.

Looking at the other person's cold gaze, Bai Muxi suddenly felt that this saintess was naively childish.

Having emerged from Land of Despair, she knew nothing of the kind of love that lasts a lifetime, but she knew of the boundless desires in the human heart.

But that's not important. What's important now is whether this perception of the saintess is good or bad for her.
