Chapter 55: Elder Han's Advice:
What Xu Ze didn't expect was that this matter was far from over.
The news of Holy Son Xu Ze personally inviting disciple Lu Qingqing from the Heavenly Cold Palace to stroll around the Hundred Flowers Festival quickly spread.
(Inside the Heavenly Cold Palace's bedchamber)
Qu Qinghan sat blankly in front of the table and gripped the pen with trembling fingers.
The maid who came to report turned pale and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Qu Qinghan's face was expressionless. "Are you saying that the Holy Son came to the Heavenly Cold Palace and invited Lu Qingqing to the Hundred Flowers Festival?"
The maid nodded timidly. "I heard it from a few other senior sisters..."
Crack.
The pen in Qu Qinghan's hand snapped into two pieces.
The maid was frightened and quickly prostrated on the ground, desperately kowtowing. "Holy Maiden! Have mercy on me! Please, have mercy on me!"
Qu Qinghan glared at the maid. "Get out!"
"Wooooooo..."
The maid choked back tears as she fled the palace.
Seeing the maid leave, Qu Qinghan could no longer contain her anger.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Several cold lights flickered, and the sound of sword Qi penetrating through the air echoed in the Heavenly Cold Palace's bedchamber again.
...
"...."
Xu Ze sat under the cool pavilion by the lake, staring at the beautiful scenery, lost in thought.
He seemed a bit confused.
He had thought that by reducing Lu Qingqing's blackening value and then 'redeeming' each heroine one by one, but unexpectedly, he had gained nothing while losing quite a bit.
Not only did he fail to 'redeem' Lu Qingqing, but Qu Qinghan and Lin Yuer's blackening values also increased significantly.
"This is too difficult..."
Xu Ze massaged his temples, looking troubled.
Especially when all ten heroines had insane possessive personalities.
Being nice to only one of them wouldn't lower her blackening value. Instead, it would arouse jealousy among the others and could easily lead to an uncontrollable situation.
"It seems like the Holy Son is troubled?"
Just as Xu Ze was worrying, an old voice sounded from the side.
Xu Ze turned his head and saw an elderly woman with white hair approaching him with a smile.
"Elder Han." Seeing her, Xu Ze immediately regained his usual calmness as the Holy Son and greeted her.
Although Elder Han was only a teaching elder in the Heavenly Cold Palace, she held a high position in the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect.
Similarly, she was also Qu Qinghan's first teacher and Qu Qinghan respected her.
"Hehehe, I suppose the Holy Son is troubled by the upcoming Hundred Flowers Festival?" Elder Han asked with a smile.
Xu Ze was slightly surprised.
Elder Han smiled and said, "Holy Son, there's no need to look at me like that. After all, I'm an old hand; how could I not understand the Holy Son's thoughts?"
"While our Holy Heaven and Earth have strict rules, except for the Nine Stars Palace, there are no regulations prohibiting disciples from falling in love within the other palaces."
"Even the Sect Master himself was quite the romantic figure back in the day."
Seeing Elder Han's unusual enthusiasm, Xu Ze's eyes twitched.
Because he had heard many rumors between the Sect Master and Elder Han.
"Could it be that the Holy Son is hesitant to choose between the Holy Maiden and that Lu Qingqing?" Elder Han leaned closer, her gray eyes gleaming with gossip.
Xu Ze pursed his lips, his gaze somewhat mysterious. "I wonder what advice Elder Han has?"
"Hahaha, it's not so much advice." Elder Han laughed heartily. "The Holy Son is a dragon among men and also the most orthodox successor of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect in the future. Even if you had three or four wives and concubines, it wouldn't be excessive."
"As for the Holy Maiden, although she has been practicing the Ice Profound Technique since childhood, her heart has always been passionate."
"You two grew up together in the sect, which is indeed a relationship without hidden motives. The relationship between the Holy Son and the Holy Lady is natural, and no one can secretly criticize it."
"However, that Lu Qingqing is a new disciple. Even though she is lively and cute, her status is still shallow..."
Elder Han stroked her chin, smiling. "If the Holy Son wants to please both of them, why not treat them equally and go to the Hundred Flowers Festival together with them?"
Go to the Hundred Flowers Festival together?
Xu Ze looked surprised.
"Well, the Holy Son shouldn't think that the Holy Maiden has been angry with you all this time." Elder Han smiled. "Nowadays, the Holy Maiden is waiting for a word from you."
"As long as you say exactly what she wants, everything will fall into place."
Seeing Elder Han's mysterious smile, Xu Ze pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and felt enlightened.
"Indeed, what Elder Han said is very true. I've been thinking too much about these things."
"Instead of being so conflicted, why not just go with them?"
"It's good that the Holy Son understands." Elder Han smiled and nodded repeatedly.
'Holy Maiden... I can only help you up to this point.' She thought to herself at the moment.
