The next morning, Chen Anlin reluctantly released Su Bingyu's thigh. He couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. Su Bingyu's stamina was far superior to that of his sister, Su Menghan. Normally, Su Menghan would have surrendered long ago, yet Su Bingyu remained unfazed.
What surprised him even more was that this was the first time he encountered such an assertive woman. He truly felt like he had struck gold.
Early in the morning, Su Bingyu finally fell into a deep sleep. Chen Anlin tucked her in before heading towards the palace.
Before long, Wu Xixue was already examining the jade ruyi that Chen Anlin had given her. She couldn't believe that the people from the Xunxian Sect possessed such a remarkable item; it was far more useful than a gas bag. Wu Xixue sighed, "However, I heard you were bullying others outside yesterday and even killed an auctioneer in public because she refused to submit to you, am I right?"
"Someone is slandering me! This is slander!" Chen Anlin shouted inwardly, but his face displayed an obedient expression. "Your Majesty, they have misunderstood me, Chen Anlin."
"Oh? How did they misunderstand?" Wu Xixue asked coldly, fixing her icy gaze on him.
Last night, she had received intelligence reports about Chen Anlin causing a ruckus at the auction house and even killing an auctioneer named Wu Min. It seemed that this Wu Min had refused to comply with Chen Anlin.
Fortunately, it appeared that Chen Anlin had found someone from the Xunxian Sect afterward and dealt with Ye Hao.
"Your Majesty, that Wu Min was a friend of Ye Hao," Chen Anlin explained.
"Is that true?"
The intelligence report hadn't mentioned this detail, so Wu Xixue was somewhat puzzled.
"Little Anzi would never deceive Your Majesty; please investigate thoroughly," Chen Anlin said with his head lowered.
Gazing at him intently, Wu Xixue finally waved her sleeve and said, "Fine. In light of the treasure you presented, I won't hold this against you this time."
"Your Majesty, Little Anzi has one more thing." Chen Anlin took out a jade slip containing the Ancient Wood Spirit Technique and carefully handed it over.
"What is this?"
Wu Xixue curiously took it and probed with her soul power, instantly stunned. "The Ancient Wood Spirit Cultivation Technique!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, what do you think of this?" Chen Anlin rubbed his hands together and asked with a smile.
"This is a wood-based breathing technique, quite impressive, but unfortunately..."
She shook her head. "Without the Immortal Seed, even if you have the breathing technique and spirit stones, you still cannot cultivate."
"Ah, it's such a pity. I can only hope that in the future we will have the chance to find an Immortal Seed," Chen Anlin sighed.
"I will also think of a way regarding the Immortal Seed," Wu Xixue replied.
"Really?" Chen Anlin's heart leaped with joy, feeling deeply moved. "Your Majesty is too kind to me! I have nothing to repay you with; I only wish to serve you day and night for the rest of my life."
"Alright, there's no need for such flattery. I need you to do something."
"Your Majesty's task!!"
Chen Anlin immediately perked up, cupping his hands and declaring, "I vow to complete Your Majesty's task at all costs."
Seeing Chen Anlin's loyal demeanor, Wu Xixue nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "Do you know about the Wan Jian Mountain Manor?"
"Ah? Of course I know."
"I heard from Dou'er that you have some connection with the young lady of Wan Jian Mountain Manor, Li Xuexin," Wu Xixue said with a teasing smile.
Chen Anlin did not deny it; back then, in order to resolve an issue related to Li Que's fortune, he had taken advantage of Li Xuexin a bit. He still remembered her rebellious demeanor.
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly bring up Wan Jian Mountain Manor?" Chen Anlin asked curiously.
"I've heard that Wan Jian Mountain Manor has had a conflict with both the Xiaoyao Sect and Lin Shangu. It is said that the top techniques of the Xiaoyao Sect and a precious treasure from Lin Shangu have gone missing under mysterious circumstances, and all of this may be related to Wan Jian Mountain Manor. When things went missing, someone saw the young master of Wan Jian Mountain Manor at the scene! Moreover, the thief used techniques from Wan Jian Mountain Manor."
"Both sects suspect that their treasures went missing due to Wan Jian Mountain Manor and are demanding an explanation. If that doesn't work out, they want the young master of Wan Jian Mountain Manor handed over."
Chen Anlin understood. "Wan Jian Mountain Manor isn't made of clay; how could they possibly hand over their young master?"
"Indeed. I want you to investigate this matter," Wu Xixue said with a smile. "The Xiaoyao Sect's Xiaoyao Divine Skill is a top-tier movement technique; it won't be much use to me but will be very useful for you. You can investigate in secret and obtain this treasure."
As for the precious treasure in Lin Mountain Valley, it is a Reflective Mirror, which is quite useful for me. When placed in the pool, it can serve as the core of a formation and enhance the spiritual energy in that area.
"Is it really that powerful?" Chen Anlin felt a surge of excitement.
"Of course! That Reflective Mirror, as far as I know, should be a semi-spiritual artifact," came the reply.
Chen Anlin nodded, understanding that anything above that level would be classified as a spiritual artifact. Spiritual artifacts are weapons used by immortals and are said to be capable of channeling spiritual energy, making them incredibly formidable. A good spiritual artifact can even double or triple one's combat power out of thin air.
"You have some past ties with Li Xuexin; it would be best if you investigate these matters," Wu Xixue said casually. "Do you have confidence in this?"
"I guarantee I will complete the task."
"Well, Dou'er will protect you in secret, but it's best if no one knows. Those major powers are aware of Dou'er; if they see her, they will surely suspect that I am behind this and take precautions."
"Understood, I will handle it immediately."
"Wait, the last story manuscript needs to be submitted to me." Wu Xixue narrowed her eyes, clearly not forgetting about it.
Chen Anlin smiled confidently; he had recently asked Bai Yu to write it for him and had plenty of drafts saved up.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Chen Anlin proudly presented five volumes.
Each one contained over thirty chapters, showcasing his sincerity and abundant updates. The readers would surely appreciate it and shower him with likes and rewards.
However, Wu Xixue merely glanced at them before frowning.
"The quality has dropped significantly."
Hearing this, Yang Dou came over to take a look as well and nodded. "There are many typos too, and plenty of issues. For example, this: 'Early in the morning, the sky unexpectedly brightened, and the sun hung high; how delightful!' What is this supposed to mean?"
Yang Dou was speechless. "Are you just slacking off?"
