Chapter 289: My Sister Will Give Me Everything

The palace maid from the Imperial Capital left. Looking at the Imperial Edict in his hand, it was written in Sister Mimi’s own elegant small script.

Return to the capital within four days to report, or face Sister Mimi’s personal punishment.

Lin Xun didn’t know if Sister Mimi’s punishment was proper or not.

But Lin Xun didn’t dare to gamble; otherwise, if Sister Mimi found another excuse, he really wouldn’t be able to return home.

He would have a good talk with Sister Mimi when the time came.

He could also take the opportunity to see how far Sister Mimi’s Immortal Emperor Body had progressed.

If it were his past self, who blindly pursued cultivation Realms, he might have been tempted by Sister Mimi’s Immortal Emperor Body as well.

Not to mention others.

To feel more at ease, he indeed needed to visit the Imperial Palace regularly.

If Sister Mimi’s Immortal Emperor Body couldn’t be concealed, he would have to take countermeasures.

“Forget it, I’ll go then.”

Lin Xun sighed, left the courtyard, and planned to find Qinger to talk about moving.

He just didn’t know how much Qinger’s anger had subsided.

“Mr. Lin.”

At the entrance of the Luocheng City Lords Mansion, a maid bowed.

“Miss Wang.” Lin Xun returned the gesture. “Is Qinger still very angry?”

“That…” The maid’s expression was a bit awkward. “Sister Qinger said that Mr. Lin went too far this time. She went on a trip with the City Lord and won’t be back for two months.”

“A trip?” Lin Xun was stunned. His wife had just run off like that?

“Yes.”

Seeing Lin Xun’s dazed look, the maid also smiled.

“Sister Qinger even took little sister Yaya with her, but Mr. Lin doesn’t need to worry, the City Lord is following them.

As for Mr. Lin’s promotion, it’s not a problem. When the City Lord and Sister Qinger return, I will inform you immediately. At that time, the City Lord will also send Sister Qinger to the Imperial Capital.”

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Miss.”

“You’re too polite, Mr. Lin.”

Seeing Lin Xun turn and leave, the maid finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly closed the door to return to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, seeing the maid Wang Yu approaching, Jiang Qing quickly pulled her over. “Xiao Yu, what did my husband say?”

“Reporting to Sister Qinger, when Mr. Lin heard that you went on a trip, he seemed a bit disappointed and worried.

But in the end, he accepted it and didn’t have too many questions.

Moreover, hearing that Sister Qinger is accompanied by the City Lord, Mr. Lin was much more relieved.”

The maid named Wang Yu answered truthfully.

“Mm, thank you for your trouble, Xiao Yu.”

“Sister Qinger, you’re too kind.”

Wang Yu bowed and withdrew.

The Magic Formation that blocked Divine Sense in the courtyard rose again, and Jiang Qing returned to her appearance as Jiang Qingshang.

Holding the Stuffed Lion while sitting on a stone bench, the girl’s eyes lowered slightly, as if in longing.

“You, oh you.”

Seeing this cold and proud woman looking like she was missing a man, Qu Ke sighed.

“Leaving a few days later would have been fine; there’s no need to go to Fuchen Continent today.”

Jiang Qingshang and Qu Ke were indeed leaving Luo City.

But it wasn’t for a trip; it was to go to the Rootless Secret Realm.

In fact, Jiang Qingshang’s anger toward Lin Xun had long since vanished.

However, Jiang Qingshang wanted to use this excuse to go to the Rootless Secret Realm and seize the rootless fruit.

That way, Lin Xun wouldn’t suspect her absence for over two months.

For Jiang Qingshang, as long as her silly pig consumed the rootless fruit, she would take him to the Zilin Holy Land and keep a close eye on him.

Anyway, she had the final say in the Zilin Holy Land, and he could only like two people!

One was Jiang Qing, and the other was Jiang Qingshang!

Besides, only she would like this Big Pig Trotter. In the Zilin Holy Land, who else would take an interest in him?

“No, we must leave today.”

Jiang Qingshang put the Stuffed Lion into her personal Storage Pouch and then picked up Yaya, who hadn’t done her homework for several days.

“When we get there, I still need to talk to the people from Fuchen Holy Land in advance.”

“Alright then.”

Qu Ke knew that the one who least wanted to leave Lin Pei was this silly girl, but she also knew that now was not the time for lingering.

“By the way, your sister is having Lin Pei serve as a Draft Recorder. What do you think? Are you really willing to let him go?” Qu Ke asked.

As the City Lord of Luocheng, Qu Ke had already received Lin Xun’s transfer documents before he even received the Imperial Edict.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Jiang Qingshang shook her head.

“The Qian Kingdom originally had Draft Recorders, but since Sister is a woman, it’s not convenient to recruit men to be by her side.

The main reason Sister is letting my husband take the post is because that Big Pig Trotter is my husband, so she can trust his character.

And how could Sister possibly take an interest in my husband? It’s impossible.”

“But Qingshang, what if feelings develop over time?” Qu Ke teased.

“No, since we were young, whatever I wanted, Sister would give it to me, let alone steal something of mine.”

“And Xiao Ke.” Jiang Qingshang gave Qu Ke a side-eye. “If you tease me about my relationship with Sister again, I’m going to spank you!”

“Alright, alright, I get it, I get it.” Qu Ke stuck out her tongue. “Just kidding. But are you really not going to see him one last time? You won’t see him for over two months soon.”

“Hmph! Who wants to see him?” Jiang Qingshang snorted, losing all her previous coldness. “I want him to worry; who told him to bully me.”

“…Fine. Then when do we set off?”

Qu Ke hugged Jiang Qingshang, thinking that the world would surely never imagine that the world’s number one beauty could be so childish and cute.

“We leave tonight.” Jiang Qingshang turned her head away with a blushing face.

“…”

Qu Ke was momentarily speechless.

Lin Xun was leaving Luo City tonight, and this little girl was also leaving tonight.

This was clearly because she wanted to see him off.

Yet she still said, “Who wants to see him.”

Are women in love always this troublesome?

Returning to the courtyard, Lin Xun simply packed his things.

However, he didn’t pack much because, in Lin Xun’s view, he would have to return sooner or later.

But before returning, Lin Xun definitely had to go to the Rootless Secret Realm.

Although Qinger had left him to go on a trip, for him, it was actually an opportunity. He didn’t need to find another excuse to go to the Rootless Secret Realm.

Carrying a small bundle, he wiped the stone in the yard and went to say goodbye to Nong Qin.

Nong Qin wasn’t home, so Lin Xun left a letter.

The maid from the palace and Qi Yu from the Hanlin Academy came to pick up Lin Xun.

Lin Xun was enthusiastically pulled into the carriage by Qi Yu to explore the way of poetry.

But Lin Xun only knew how to plagiarize poems; he didn’t know a thing about poetry and could only be vague.

However, Qi Yu was very happy.

Under the escort of guards, Lin Xun and the others rushed toward the Imperial Capital.

Along the way, Lin Xun always felt that there were Cultivators following him, but since they showed no malice, he ignored it; they might be the Imperial Enshrinements of the Qian Kingdom’s palace.

Three days later, Lin Xun arrived at the Imperial Capital a day early.

Just as Lin Xun was about to ask where his residence was, the maid gave him a side-eye:

“Why does Mr. Lin ask that? A Draft Recorder’s living quarters are naturally in the Imperial Palace. Where else could they be.”

Lin Xun: “???”
