Qingmiao Palace, Tingquan Small House.

The warmth of spring brings blooming flowers, all competing for beauty.

"In this life, I only adorn my sleeves for you, with three rounds of drinks under the moon on the treetop..."

Zhu Nanzhi hummed a tune as she walked through the flower garden, the hem of her blue and white Hezi skirt swaying gently with her steps, untouched by dust.

With a lighthearted smile on her face, she bent or crouched down, tending to the flowers and grasses while muttering softly, "Next time, I'll put these bunches of flowers in my husband's room..."

Unlike Zhu Nanzhi's leisurely demeanor, not far away, Zhou Lan and others looked anxiously at their Holy Daughter.

Saint Lu's descent into the indulgence at Yun Meng Cliff's wine pools and meat forests is now well-known, with various voices emerging. Although concern is more prevalent, there is also a fair share of sneering.

He had just earlier abolished the Qingqiu Fox Demon, yet now he himself is indulging — it seems like an ironic slap in the face.

Yet, Saint Lu, as if oblivious, continues to stay at Yun Meng Cliff, without even stepping into the main hall.

Saint Lu was once diligent, and now equally fallen...

Zhou Lan and others are indeed worried about this, but they are even more concerned about the Holy Daughter's current state.

Saint Lu's indulgence was widely spread quickly, but each day, the Holy Daughter still goes on carefreely... Is this reasonable?

Initially, when the Holy Daughter first arrived at Wandao Sect, she fought fiercely with Mu Qingyue, and now, although Saint Lu indulges in the revelries led by Qiu Qingtang, she hasn't shown any distress...

As the saying goes, something must be wrong if it deviates from the norm. Either the Holy Daughter truly doesn't care, or she swallows all her unpleasant feelings herself...

If it's the former, fine, but if it's the latter, the Holy Daughter's Forget Love Path centered around Saint Lu is bound to run into major issues.

"Senior Sister Zhou, the Palace Master says the Holy Daughter's Forget Love Path hasn't shown problems, yet I feel there's a big issue. Seeing the Holy Daughter like this, I suspect it's possession..."

"Don't speak carelessly, the Palace Master is the foremost Forget Love Path expert in the world, how could he be wrong?" Zhou Lan shook her head, hesitating, "Maybe the Holy Daughter truly trusts Saint Lu..."

"Senior Sister Zhou, do you believe that?"

Zhou Lan fell silent for a moment. Of course, she didn't want to believe Saint Lu's sudden change in character. After all, if it were true, and Master Pei doesn't intervene, Sect Master Zheng, who cares for the Human Clan...

Or perhaps Sect Master Zheng, who knows his days are numbered, is also indulging Saint Lu?

Zhou Lan couldn't make sense of it or find a reply. Her junior sister spoke again, "Senior Sister Zhou, why not ask the Holy Daughter? It would set our minds at ease."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Lan just took a step, when someone hurriedly arrived, "Senior Sister Zhou, Mu Jianxian is here."

At those words, Zhou Lan's eyes brightened. Given Mu Jianxian's close relationship with the Holy Daughter, his visit is likely related to this affair; it's best for him to inquire.

"Please quickly invite him."

Before long, the blindfolded Mu Qingyue, dressed in black sword clothes, arrived at the Floating Land where the Tingquan Small House was situated.

Softly, Zhou Lan expressed her concerns, and Mu Qingyue nodded lightly, strolling towards Zhu Nanzhi.

Zhu Nanzhi turned to see her, and her smile grew even brighter, "I guessed you'd be seeking me first."

Mu Qingyue nodded, "This isn't like you. Normally, you would already be wielding your sword at Yun Meng Cliff by now."

"Am I that impulsive?"

"Aren't you?"

When they finished speaking, they exchanged a smile.

Zhu Nanzhi carried several freshly picked flower bunches towards the house, chatting as she walked, "Because I trust my husband, he couldn't have changed so drastically overnight."

"Are you that certain?"

"I've shared a bed with him for a year~" Zhu Nanzhi raised her chin a bit proudly, "Who can compare to me?"

"Lu Yunzhu."

"She doesn't count. Back then my husband was young, naive, didn't understand anything, let alone the romantics of sharing a bed."

Zhu Nanzhi pushed the door open and entered, "I can be sure my husband must have his reasons for doing this, and I just need to support him."

Mu Qingyue 'looked at' Zhu Nanzhi, "Putting aside Qiu Qingtang, what about those fox spirits?"

Zhu Nanzhi tilted her head at her, "Wouldn't Aunt Pei intervene? Surely it hasn't reached that point, don't you believe it?"

Mu Qingyue felt slightly surprised, undeterred despite everything?

Zhu Nanzhi has changed quite a bit.

Thinking about this, she chuckled softly, "Rumor says that all the fox spirits coming out from the wine pools have lost their virginity marks."

Zhu Nanzhi laughed dismissively, "There are countless ways to remove virginity marks; my husband has become an Immortal, and with the Dao Domain being so mighty, erasing a virginity mark would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

She deliberately emphasized her tone on the words 'piece of cake.'

Mu Qingyue caught on instantly; she herself guessed similarly... Although a part of her felt the narrative of 'abandoning Senior Sister' as Saint Lu got indulged might bring some sort of relief, deep down she didn't truly wish to be abandoned by him.

Thus, having initially intended to return directly to Wandao Sect, she altered her plans upon hearing the escalating rumors, and came to Qingmiao Palace to see Zhu Nanzhi's stance.

And the attitude Zhu Nanzhi showed now brought her much relief.

After all, Zhu Nanzhi conceals a 'madman' side within; thus, if this woman remains unmoved, it would make others even more convinced.

Mu Qingyue 'looked at' Zhu Nanzhi as she arranged the flowers, considered for a moment, and asked, "What if... it's true?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Nanzhi raised her fair head, and though her smile remained as radiant as a flower, it made Mu Qingyue feel a chill.
