Chapter 1216 Snow Moon, Unable to Hold Her Wine Barely

The Moon Chasing Pavilion, where Tang Lan was located, was indeed a good place to appreciate the moon.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

"Did I startle the master?"

Just as Tang Lan was gazing at the gradually appearing moonlight in the distance, Xue Yue suddenly jumped out from the side.

Upon seeing Tang Lan, the girl tiptoed quietly behind her.

However, with Tang Lanru's current strength, she naturally sensed an aura approaching from behind immediately.

However, after sensing that the person who came was Xueyue, Tang Lan did not pay any attention to it.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?"

When Tang Lan saw Xue Yue, a smile appeared on her lips.

However, Xueyue looked surprised and said, "You, you actually remember!"

"Actually, I secretly went to Shrek Academy to see my brother before, so I happened to see you sparring with other genius students in the academy."

"Of course, I also saw you kill those many assassins who infiltrated the academy."

"From that time on, I felt that the teacher was really cool and strong, and that his future achievements would definitely be above everyone else."

Finally, Xueyue sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that despite my hard work in cultivation, I still can't catch up with you."

Xueyue lightly leaped and sat on the wooden frame at the edge of the stone pavilion, her fair legs swinging outwards, looking quite adorable.

With the celestial herb I gave you, I believe your strength will improve very quickly.

Moreover, as far as I know, this immortal herb is extremely compatible with your martial soul, and it is very likely that it will awaken your royal family's sacred swan martial soul ahead of schedule.

"Only then will your strength truly undergo a qualitative change."

"Even ordinary twin martial souls cannot compare to your rare martial soul!"

Tang Lan reached out her hand, instinctively wanting to make a cup of tea, but found that there was no tea set up here.

"Hehe, I knew you liked this stuff. Here, I specially brought out this tribute wine from the palace's treasury."

"This is all fine wine that the major duchies offer as tribute every year. It's rare and only available here!"

Seeing Tang Lan's unusually embarrassed expression, Xue Yue chuckled and took out a jade and glass teapot from her storage ring.

Then, as if by magic, he produced two crystal glasses and personally poured Tang Lan a glass of fine wine.

"Master, I heard you've been to the Sea of ​​Death. Now that you finally have some free time, could you tell me about your experience there?"

Xueyue seemed to remember something, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she stared at Tang Lan with her bright eyes.

"You probably heard about this from Xu Sanshi, right?"

"That's right, I did go to the Sea of ​​Death and received the divine inheritance, but ascending to the upper realm is not so easy."

"Besides, I have very important things to do. I need to raise all of you to nearly level 100 before I can think about these things."

Tang Lan replied with a smile.

Xueyue was deeply moved upon hearing this; he hadn't expected that Tang Lan cared about someone like her.

When Xueyue came to her senses, her thoughts were in disarray.

She then whispered, "Actually, I think Mother's method of acting first and informing later is wrong."

"By day, Brother Bai took all the blame for absorbing the remaining forces of the Tianqian Sect, which was actually to protect Mother."

"But I think as long as we maintain our relationship with the Tang Sect, Master will definitely not let the Douling Empire be destroyed."

"Compared to the former, the latter is clearly more important. The mother's actions are exacerbating the rift and suspicion between the brother and the master."

Xueyue did not hide anything from Tang Lan, but instead told him what was on her mind.

Tang Lan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"Your idea is not wrong, and everything your mother did was not wrong either."

"Being in her position, she has to consider the wealth and interests of millions of people."

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges. As long as she stops interfering in the affairs of the Douling Empire, this matter will be over."

As Tang Lan spoke, she poured herself and Xue Yue another glass of wine.

The two raised their glasses and clinked them together, both looking calm. This mentor-student and friend-like relationship did not make them feel distant; on the contrary, it made them even closer.

Tang Lan remained unchanged after two drinks, but Xue Yue's face was flushed, clearly indicating that she was drunk.

Hey~~

"I feel dizzy, this wine seems to have a strong aftereffect!"

"Master, how come you have so many hands and two heads!"

Xueyue kept shaking her head, but her consciousness became increasingly hazy. Finally, she collapsed onto the table with a thud and began to snore.

"You should have said so beforehand if you couldn't drink! You clearly can't drink, but you still insist on drinking with me!"

Tang Lan shook her head helplessly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Lan had no choice but to carry Xue Yue on her back and head back the way she came.

Xueyue does not live in the Zhuyue Palace, but because Tang Lan did not know her exact address, she found Ling Luo and handed Xueyue over to him.

"The princess has never drunk alcohol before, why is she drinking tonight?"

"Please rest assured, sir, I will bring the princess back safely."

Ling Luo helped Xue Yue up, and the two disappeared on the stone path outside Zhu Yue Palace.

Tang Lan stared for a long time before turning and heading towards her residence.

Time flies, and it was already morning two days later.

This day was Xu Sanshi's rank celebration.

The celebration was held at Xuanwen Palace, not far from Zhuyue Palace where Tang Lan and the others lived.

After everyone was dressed, they headed toward Xuanwen Palace. Along the way, they saw groups of palace maids and servants hurrying by every now and then.

In addition, a team of palace guards passed by, specifically responsible for patrolling the entire palace for security matters.

Without exception, all of these guards possessed the strength of a sixth-ring Soul Emperor or higher, and even the captains of each squad were seventh-ring Soul Saints.

Such a lineup would be considered extremely impressive for any major power, let alone the titled Douluo who are mainly responsible for leading them.

"His Majesty has ordered me to wait here for a long time. Please follow me!"

Ling Luo had been waiting at the entrance of the venue since early morning. When she saw Tang Lan and the others arrive, she greeted them with a smile.

"Good work!"

Tang Lan nodded, then led the group to follow Ling Luo into the venue.

As far as the eye could see, there were small tables on both sides of the hall, with various fresh fruits on them, and many ministers had arrived early and taken their seats.

A closer look reveals that most of these tables are labeled with the names of numerous ministers.

This seat is not just any seat; it is arranged according to official rank, from highest to lowest.
