Chapter 497 Princess, you don't want His Majesty to find out about what happened between us, ri

Mu Zhian took the carriage and finally arrived at the gate of Zunyun Academy half an hour later.

After getting off the carriage, he came to the other side of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and stretched out his hand to the hostess in the curtain.

The princess stepped down from the carriage, glanced at Mu Zhian, and did not stretch out her hand for him to hold, but jumped off the carriage by herself.

Unlike the way she was dressed today, she was wearing a white long dress, revealing her fair jade neck and delicate collarbone, not much skin was exposed, and the dress wrapped her delicate body, highlighting the size of her tall and straight chest.

Her dressing style was quite homely. Because of the veil, Mu Zhian could not see her makeup, but just by looking at her beautiful eyes, he could feel the mature and charming charm that only wives have.

But tonight, she seemed to be much colder towards Mu Zhian, which even Mu Zhian could clearly feel.

It seems that the person in the bedroom just now is indeed the princess...

Mu Zhian looked at the princess with a strange look in his eyes.

He felt something was wrong when he entered the hall and talked to the other party, so he tried to make some intimate gestures...

But no matter what, he couldn't have thought that the woman in the hall just now would be the princess.

The arrival of the two immediately attracted the attention of many students in the nearby academy. No matter what era, people with good looks are always more likely to get attention from others.

At this time, a crisp and soft voice suddenly came from not far away: "Mr. Mu...?"

The girl called out tentatively with a tone of uncertainty. Mu Zhian turned his head and saw a woman in a pink and white dress. Her appearance almost made many students in the academy look sideways.

"Why is Senior Sister Shuixian in the outer courtyard...? Isn't she already a disciple of the chief elder of the inner courtyard?"

"Today, the third elder of the outer courtyard had a conflict with the apostles of the Sabbath, and many students from the inner courtyard came to join in the fun. I think she came to see it too."

"Who is the monk who talked to Senior Sister Shuixian? Why have I never seen him before? Could he be from another academy?"

Some students from the academy were whispering to each other, and their eyes fell on Mu Zhian intentionally or unintentionally.

Ever since Xiao Shuixian went to Liangyi Sect with Yaohuang before, for some reason, the emperor valued her very much. Even after returning to Yuzhou, he kept Xiao Shuixian by his side for some time to guide her, so that Xiao Shuixian's alchemy skills have undergone qualitative changes.

In Zunyun Academy, Xiao Shuixian's strength is now ranked second, but among her peers, her alchemy skills are already ranked first.

In addition to her good family background and beauty, her popularity in the academy has always been ranked in the top three. It is no wonder that her greeting at this moment will attract the attention of so many students in the academy.

Mu Zhian noticed the gaze of the little beauty not far away, and couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile: "Miss Xiao, long time no see."

Hasn't he always been in Dongzhou in the past? Why would there be someone he knows in Zunyun Academy...?

The princess looked at the girl calmly.

Xiao Narcissus's eyes also stayed on the princess for a moment, and an inexplicable alert rose in her heart.

For some reason, although I have never seen this woman's face, just through the princess's mature and sexy figure and even the gentle temperament on her body, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of intoxicating beauty this woman has under the veil.

"Why did Mr. Mu come to Zunyun Academy?" Xiao Narcissus quickly retracted his gaze and asked in a somewhat gentle tone.

But there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I came to Yuzhou for some things. I didn't expect your academy to be so lively today, so I came to take a look."

Xiao Shuixian's eyes dimmed quickly, but she quickly hid the disappointment in her eyes and smiled, "In that case, I'll take you there. Today, the three elders of the outer courtyard are fighting with an apostle from a foreign land. I think it hasn't started yet."

She paused and continued, "Your Majesty is there today."

...

The white jade platform on the north side of Yuzhou Zunyun Academy is set up on an island called "Flying Fish". There are formations on the platform all year round, and many monks come and go every day.

Compared with the past, the area around the white jade platform on the north side is obviously much more lively today.

The reason is that the people fighting on the platform today are not ordinary monks, but the elders of the outer courtyard of Zunyun Academy.

At this moment, Luo Tan is sitting in front of the platform with other elders of Zunyun Academy, waiting for the start of the battle.

A female elder beside him whispered, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Feng Xuan is a seventh-grade Return to Void, and because of his alchemy skills, his mental power is far superior to that of cultivators of the same realm. He will not lose this battle."

Luo Tan nodded softly.

She was indeed not worried.

Although the elders of Zunyun Academy rarely fight with others, their strength is no less than that of cultivators from the outside world.

After all, some of the elders here traveled abroad when they were young, and were conquered by Luo Tan's charm after passing through Yuzhou, and willingly joined Zunyun Academy to teach disciples.

Before that, many of them were once ruthless people in Jiuzhou, but they often restrained their edge in front of the students of the academy.

Tonight, the foreign apostles took the lead in provoking trouble, and I am afraid that they did not investigate the identities and origins of the elders of the academy before they rashly challenged them.

Luo Tan didn't care about the success or failure of the fight between the two. She came to Zunyun Academy today not to stop the fight between the two. After all, doing so would be too narrow-minded.

Luo Tan came here today just to put some pressure on the foreign apostles of the Sabbath.

Besides... sometimes doing it yourself can easily win the hearts of the people.

"With His Majesty here, the arrogance of those foreign apostles just now has been extinguished." The elder on the side said with a smile.

"Yes, and the students of the academy seem to be very excited. Calculating the time, it seems that the last time Your Majesty came to the academy was about a year ago."

A beautiful woman beside Luo Tan smiled softly, glanced at the students of the academy below the stage, and said: "Your Majesty personally came to the academy this time. I think these children will practice harder in the future."

In Yuzhou, the holy land of alchemy, most cultivators grew up listening to Luo Tan's stories. At the beginning, Yuzhou was not a solid block. The creatures in the forbidden land would come out every few hundred years to absorb the essence of the creatures.

Until later, a great power in the Hedao realm was born in Yuzhou. She used immortal gold to smelt and create a cauldron that could turn all things into spiritual energy, suppressed the forbidden creatures in Yuzhou, ended the turmoil, and finally created this prosperous and immortal immortal dynasty.

It is precisely because of hearing these stories that most cultivators in Yuzhou blindly worship this queen.

The students in Zunyun Academy even regarded her as their goal to pursue. If she could choose them to serve, the whole family would be honored.

Therefore, when Luo Tan chose Xiao Shuixian to serve the emperor and teach her alchemy, not only did Xiao Shuixian's name become famous in Zunyun Academy, but the status of the Xiao family also rose steadily in Yuzhou.

The beautiful woman couldn't help but stay on the empress in the luxurious white dress for a moment. She was originally admiring the beauty of the empress, but at this moment, she found that His Majesty Luo Tan seemed a little uneasy at the moment.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about something?" The beautiful woman hesitated.

Luo Tan came back to his senses from his thoughts just now, shook his head and smiled: "Nothing."

She asked casually again: "When does the competition start?"

"Your Majesty, according to the agreement, it will start in one stick of incense." Someone next to him responded respectfully.

One stick of incense, then it should be in time to go back and see him... Luo Tan thought to herself.

Originally, she had arranged for Mu Zhian to meet her in the bedroom tonight, but she came to Zunyun Academy instead.

However, in less than an hour, he should not go back so soon... Luo Tan thought of this and was about to look away.

However, just as she was about to look away, her attention was suddenly attracted by a young man in the crowd.

Mu Zhian...

Beside Mu Zhian, there were two women, one of whom looked quite pure and lovely. It is not difficult to imagine that she will be a graceful beauty when she grows up.

The other woman wore a waisted goose yellow skirt, which was embroidered with plump crabapple flowers. A ribbon outlined her sexy and plump slender waist. She had a sexy figure and a temperament like a ripe peach, as if waiting for others to pick her.

Xiao Narcissus and the princess.

"Why are they here...?"

Luo Tan's casual look just now froze for a moment, and he subconsciously whispered to himself.

And logically, shouldn't the princess be extremely disgusted with Mu Zhian? Why is she walking with him now?

Although she is only the nominal wife of the Great Peng Emperor, in the eyes of the world, this princess is already a married woman...When in the outside world, the princess should try to avoid suspicion as much as possible...

Luo Tan's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his hand slightly to wave to the personal maid beside him, and then gestured to her.

The maid glanced at Mu Zhian, immediately understood, turned around and quietly left the platform.

...

Under the leadership of Xiao Shuixian, Mu Zhian and the princess passed through the crowd and unknowingly came to the Flying Fish Island on the north side of the white jade platform.

There was no one on the platform at the moment, but many monks had gathered under the platform. Most of these monks were students of Zunyun Academy, and they seemed to be very concerned about this battle.

Mu Zhian scanned these cultivators and saw many good-looking female students wearing skirts, revealing their snow-white and slender legs. Some even wore black silk stockings similar to the one Luo Tan wore when he went to Liangyi Sect that day.

Yuzhou seemed to be more open than other states. It seemed strange to dress like this in the world of immortal cultivation, but in Yuzhou, everyone seemed to be used to dressing like this.

"What are you looking at, Mr. Mu?" Xiao Shuixian's pleasant and melodious voice suddenly came from the side, and her beautiful eyes gazed at Mu Zhian gently.

Although she didn't dress up deliberately today, her appearance was top-notch anyway... As a result, when Mu Zhian came, his eyes wandered over other girls.

"I just feel a little bit emotional. You seem to be more open here than other states."

Mu Zhian smiled, his eyes fell on Xiao Shuixian, and continued: "Actually, there is a sentence that Mu has not said just now."

"What is it?" Xiao Shuixian blinked, and it was obvious that Mu Zhian successfully attracted her attention.

"I came to Yuzhou this time because of His Majesty Luo Tan's invitation, but at the same time, I came to Zunyun Academy today because there is someone I want to see here."

Xiao Shuixian was stunned for a moment, and soon, under Mu Zhian's gaze, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly, combed her hair as if nothing had happened, but her pretty face was a little hot.

Mu Zhian stared quietly for a moment, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Sorry, you really still blame me for the plan to kill Xiao Hua, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Shuixian hurriedly raised her head and said: "What are you talking about, Master Mu? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that he had been devoured by the foreign evil demon... At that time, he was no longer my brother Xiao Hua."

When Xiao Shuixian said this, she lowered her voice again and said: "It's better to say that if it weren't for Master Mu, Shuixian might still be deceived by him."

Mu Zhian was stunned: "Don't you blame me?"

"I said that this matter has nothing to do with Master Mu, but you helped Shuixian a lot." Xiao Shuixian shook her head gently.

"That's great. I thought Miss Shuixian was still blaming me." Mu Zhian showed a relieved and gentle smile. His brilliant smile still attracted the attention of many female disciples nearby at night. They couldn't help but look at him, and then their eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sister Shuixian, is this your friend?" A female disciple who seemed to know Xiao Shuixian came forward and greeted her. She smiled gently, but her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian's eyes.

Even if he deliberately restrained the natural charm of the Nine-tailed Fox, Mu Zhian would still involuntarily attract the attention and favor of women.

Xiao Shuixian frowned inadvertently, but still maintained a polite smile: "Well... he is the person invited by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty?"

The female disciple's eyes suddenly lit up, but before she could speak, a maid came from a distance, glanced at the people present, and whispered: "Mr. Mu, His Majesty invites you."

The princess glanced at Mu Zhian inconspicuously, and her beautiful face under the veil showed a playful smile.

Mu Zhian had just arrived, and Luo Tan had already noticed it. The reaction was really fast...

...

When Mu Zhian and others came to the distant viewing platform, they found that there was not even a shadow of a person nearby. It seemed that there was an invisible formation covering the entire viewing platform.

"You can't see the situation inside the viewing platform when you are outside, but you can see what the scene outside is like from the viewing platform... This formation is really magical."

Mu Zhian looked around, and when he saw the outside world through the viewing platform, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is a fourth-grade formation. Through this formation, we can prevent the outside world from spying on everything here." Xiao Shuixian explained from the side.

After she finished speaking, she quickly remembered something and hesitated, "I forgot to ask just now, who is the woman next to Master Mu?"

"The princess of Yunzhou." Mu Zhian explained.

"Your Highness Princess?!" Xiao Shuixian's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised.

She had heard of this name. This woman was a close friend of His Majesty. When she was serving in front of the emperor, she heard His Majesty say that this princess had saved His Majesty's life in the past.

Unexpectedly, this princess also came to Zunyun Academy, and came with Mu Zhian.

"Is Shuixian here too?"

At this moment, a woman's calm and pleasant voice came from not far away.

Mu Zhian looked up and saw the noble Queen of Yuzhou.

Her long hair was loose, and she wore a luxurious decoration on her head. The gold tassels swayed gently. A pair of snow-white boots embroidered with gold edges wrapped her delicate and fair legs. The boots tapped the floor lightly, which made the empress's elegant temperament even more noble.

She leaned on the chair, her eyes stayed on Mu Zhian for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Shuixian.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Shuixian bowed respectfully.

Luo Tan glanced at the little beauty in front of him, smiled and nodded: "Well, it seems that you are only one step away from the sixth-grade alchemist, not bad."

"These are all the results of your majesty's past guidance. Shuixian has always kept it in mind and never dared to forget." Xiao Shuixian replied respectfully.

Luo Tan smiled and nodded gently: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be responsible for many matters of the inner courtyard disciples today? I'm here, you go and get busy first."

Xiao Shuixian glanced at Mu Zhian hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't worry about Master Mu." Luo Tan's left leg was over her right leg, and as her skirt fluttered, it seemed that a touch of white skin on her thigh could be seen between her boots and the hem of her skirt.

That's true, with His Majesty here, even if there are foreign apostles in the academy, they dare not act rashly, and there is really no need to worry...

Xiao Shuixian smiled and said, "Since His Majesty has important things to discuss with Master Mu, Shuixian will take her leave first."

Luo Tan smiled and watched Xiao Shuixian's figure disappear from the viewing platform, and then his eyes fell on Mu Zhian.

"Why are you so far away from me? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Luo Tan chuckled with a bit of a teasing tone.

"That's not the case, I was just thinking about something just now." Mu Zhian walked to Luo Tan's side and sat down generously.

"What are you thinking? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is a formation I set up here. People from the outside world cannot enter. Similarly, they cannot see the scene in the viewing platform." Luo Tan smiled.

Mu Zhian smiled but did not say anything. He thought that people from the outside world could not see it, but it seemed that they could hear the sound, right?

By the way, does she mean that this place is safe and no one will come near?

And could the underlying meaning be... that new CGs can be unlocked here?

Mu Zhian suddenly realized that there seemed to be something in Luo Tan's words just now, and couldn't help but secretly take a look at the empress beside him.

"Actually, I originally wanted to take you to Zunyun Academy with me, but considering that you might not like these fights, I came by myself." Luo Tan glanced at the young man tenderly and continued:

"Sorry, I should have told you first."

Hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh: "Although I'm really not interested in joining in the fun, Your Majesty should really say something...or it would be nice if you brought me to the academy."

Luo Tan raised her eyebrows slightly and said unexpectedly: "What? Are you interested in the fight between my Yuzhou monk and the foreign apostle? Or do you want to come to the academy to meet your little lover?"

When she spoke to the end, there was a bit of ridicule in her tone, obviously she could see Xiao Shuixian's thoughts about Mu Zhian.

"I'm not very interested in the fighting here, it's just..."

Mu Zhian gave Luo Tan a complicated look and whispered: "During the time when Your Majesty came to the academy...some things happened in the palace."

The originally indifferent smile on Luo Tan's face finally faded a bit, and he hesitated: "What do you mean?"

Mu Zhian was about to speak when a woman's gentle and melodious voice suddenly came from the distance, interrupting the conversation between the two: "Luo Tan, there are so many empty seats here, you shouldn't mind having one more person sit there." Bar?"

Luo Tan looked up and met the gentle and beautiful eyes of this mature wife.

She immediately showed a charming smile: "Of course I don't mind, but I didn't expect you to come to the academy to join in the fun. It's really rare."

The princess moved lightly, walked to Mu Zhian and sat down next to her. She smiled gently: "When I went out tonight, I happened to meet Mr. Mu, so I came with him to have a look. Anyway, there is nothing to do in Yuzhou. Do."

Luo Tan nodded slightly: "No wonder you are with him tonight. Did we meet him by chance on the road?"

Just as he was thinking about this, the voice of a maid outside the viewing platform sounded in Luo Tan's ears: "Your Majesty, the dean of the inner courtyard wants to see you. It seems there is something important."

Here we go again... Luo Tan's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, a little displeased at being disturbed.

In the past, whenever Luo Tan came to Zunyun Academy, the female dean who was a mad alchemist would ask her about alchemy. Unexpectedly, she had just arrived at the academy tonight, and the other party already knew about her arrival.

"Then you all sit here for a while, and I will come back after I finish handling the matters there." After Luo Tan finished speaking, he walked out of the viewing platform and disappeared from Mu Zhian's sight.

Mu Zhian admired the scenery outside the viewing platform, then casually glanced at the beautiful wife and said, "Were you trying to stop me just now? Didn't you want her to know about this?"

"The matter between you and me is a misunderstanding. If you tell Luo Tan, it will only cause trouble and even cause unnecessary misunderstandings and gaps between me and her."

This time she pretended to be Luo Tan. This matter could not be explained clearly. If Luo Tan knew about it, she would probably think that it was her side who pretended to be her to deceive Mu Zhian when she was not in the palace. Make out with him…

The princess paused and continued in a soft tone: "Instead of doing this, it is better to keep this matter as a secret between you and me."

When she said this, she said with some emotion: "It's just that I didn't expect...she chose you because she wanted to be born in the furnace."

"It's not just for the natural cauldron." Mu Zhian smiled, "Your Majesty and I have a good rapport. She has said this in the past."

"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess knows her so well, she should also know that she will not just choose anyone as a Taoist companion."

"Although Heavenly Court's spiritual energy is several times richer than Jiuzhou's spiritual energy, it is not enough to help her ascend. I guess she is indeed interested in your other advantages." The princess said calmly.

Hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask: "You just felt a trace of heavenly aura before and concluded that I couldn't help her ascend?"

"I am the princess of Dao Dao. I naturally know whether the spiritual energy of heaven can help her ascend." The princess said softly.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "If you felt the stronger heavenly aura, maybe you wouldn't say that."

The princess was startled, as if she was recalling what happened in the palace just now. Her pretty face quickly passed by a wisp of red clouds, she glanced at Mu Zhian, and said softly: "Do you dare?"

Her beautiful eyes were still gentle, but there was a hint of warning in her tone, or pressure: "Although Emperor Dapeng said that he and I are not actually married, in the eyes of outsiders we are husband and wife. If he gets Knowing this, even if Emperor Qing protects you, he will probably ask for an explanation."

Mu Zhian was startled: "But when we were in the palace today, it was you who first disguised yourself as His Majesty and caused that misunderstanding, right?"

The princess chuckled lightly and said lightly: "If I am willing, even the black can be said to be white."

Mu Zhian was immediately silenced.

He didn't expect that a powerful person like Dangdang Hedao would resort to such small tricks!

The princess raised her lips, but her tone was still gentle and admonishing: "You'd better hide what happened between you and me tonight. It will indeed be a bit troublesome for me if Luo Tan knows about it."

"But if Emperor Dapeng knows about this, I'm afraid you will also be in a lot of trouble. You don't want to be worried about by a powerful Hedao power in the future, right?"

Looking at the silent boy, the smile on the princess's face became more and more charming.

Her eyes were extremely gentle, but her eyes were condescending.

After all, it was a little monk who wanted to play such petty tricks with her, but he was still a little bit behind.

The princess was about to open her mouth again to end this conversation and settle the matter completely.

But at this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly reached out and grabbed the beautiful wife's soft little hand.

The princess' delicate body trembled, and she almost subconsciously wanted to take out her hand. At this moment, the gentle voice of the young man came from beside her:

"Your Royal Highness, you don't want His Majesty Luo Tan to find out what happened tonight, right?"
