"Sister Xiaoqing—" Seeing Xiaoqing coming towards him, Xu Xian subconsciously stopped and greeted her. Xiaoqing didn't even look at Xu Xian, and passed by him directly, turning around the corridor without stopping, and left. Xu Xian stood there, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, staring back at the direction where Xiaoqing left, his eyes full of confusion. He couldn't understand why Xiaoqing always treated him with almost hostile indifference, even though he had been very careful in his words and actions... "Mr. Xu." While he was stunned, he suddenly heard a soft call in his ear, but it was Bai Suzhen's voice. He quickly retracted his gaze, turned his head, and looked at a person in white clothes coming from not far away, and then stopped five steps away from him.

"Miss Bai, Sister Xiaoqing seems to be unhappy. Is it because...I have accidentally offended Sister Xiaoqing in some way?" Xu Xian opened his mouth and asked with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Mr. Xu, you're worrying too much. Qing'er is not angry with you, Mr. Xu, but with the people in Prince Liang's mansion just now." Bai Suzhen subconsciously lowered her eyes and looked at the distance between her and Xu Xian, and found that she had inadvertently kept Xu Xian five steps away from her as Xiaoqing said. For a moment, she couldn't help laughing, and secretly sighed that she was as childish as Xiaoqing, but at the same time, there was an unconcealable happiness flowing between her brows and in her eyes... She raised her head with a faint smile, and saw Xu Xian staring at her blankly, with a distraught look. She sighed softly, covered her lips and coughed lightly. Xu Xian's body shook and he came back to his senses.

Xu Xian quickly turned away his gaze from Bai Suzhen, looking a little embarrassed. In order to ease the embarrassment, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, Miss Bai, just now at the Three Emperors' Ancestors' Meeting, two people who claimed to be from the Liang Palace claimed that the four treasures we showed to everyone were stolen treasures from their palace. What's going on? Aren't the four treasures that Miss Bai lent me her family heirlooms? How did they become stolen goods from the Liang Palace?"

"The four treasures displayed in our Baoan Hall today are indeed the heirlooms of my Bai Mansion." Bai Suzhen said slowly and calmly, "They were handed to me before my parents passed away. If it weren't for the Three Emperors' Patriarchs' Meeting, I would not have taken out the four treasures."

Xu Xian was puzzled and asked, "Then why do the people in the Liang Palace keep saying that Miss Bai's heirloom was stolen from their Liang Palace?"

Bai Suzhen smiled faintly and said calmly, "It's all just a misunderstanding. Mr. Liang has just verified it himself. The four treasures passed down from my family are not the treasures stolen from the Liang Palace. They are just similar to the four treasures stolen from them. That's why the two servants of the Liang Palace mistook them for the treasures stolen from their palace."

"I see." Xu Xian let out a long sigh, his expression becoming relaxed. "Since it is just a misunderstanding, that's good. As long as we explain everything to everyone, the misunderstanding at today's Three Emperors Patriarch Meeting can be cleared up."

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly, then remembered what she had promised Xiaoqing, and said to Xu Xian, "Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry about today's matter..." After a pause, she asked, "Besides this matter, Mr. Xu, do you have anything else to do?"

Xu Xian hurriedly replied: "I came to look for Miss Bai only for the four treasures, and nothing else."

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly and said, "If Mr. Xu has nothing else to do, then please excuse me from accompanying you."

Xu Xian had hoped to have a few more words with Bai Suzhen. Hearing this, he could not help but feel disappointed, but he did not show it on his face. He just said, "Miss Bai, please do as you please."

Bai Suzhen nodded, turned around gently, and walked along the corridor back to the house.

Xu Xian stood there blankly, watching Bai Suzhen slowly leave. The wind blew from the courtyard, and Bai Suzhen's dress and black hair were blown up in the wind. Xu Xian suddenly had an inexplicable illusion - that spotless woman seemed to be flying away with the wind, like a fairy ascending to heaven...

The imperial palace was a forbidden place with strict guards. It was difficult for ordinary people to enter. However, for Xiaoqing, it was like entering an empty land. She easily found the location of the emperor in the palace without any effort. She presented the four treasures of the Fiery God Pearl one by one under invisibility, and added that the four treasures were all taken from the treasure house of the Liang Palace. Then she flew out of the palace and returned to Suzhou Prefecture. Xiaoqing did not return the four treasures to the Liang Palace against Bai Suzhen's wishes, but directly handed them over to the emperor. On the one hand, she wanted to punish Liang Xiangguo who privately withheld the tribute from foreign countries. On the other hand, once the people in the Liang Palace were busy with their own affairs, they would naturally not be able to find trouble with the Baoan Hall. It can be said that she killed two birds with one stone. Of course, Xiaoqing was not going to tell Bai Suzhen everything she had done immediately after returning. Sometimes it is better to conceal some things temporarily.

When passing through a mountain outside Suzhou, Xiaoqing looked down from the sky and saw a sea of colorful flowers. She immediately descended to pick some wild flowers to bring back to decorate Bai Suzhen's room. Xiaoqing landed in a sea of flowers, with wild flowers of various colors competing for beauty, red and pink, yellow and purple, very beautiful. She bent down and picked a purple wild poppy, and then saw a wild chrysanthemum not far away that was blooming well, so she raised her hand and drew a circle in the air with her index finger, bringing a breeze, and rolled the wild chrysanthemum into her hand -

Suddenly someone sneered and said, "This girl is indeed not an ordinary person!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of swords being unsheathed, and the next moment, two long swords appeared in front of Xiaoqing. She disdainfully glanced at the scraps pointing at her, stood up calmly, raised her eyes to the culprit who had ruined her good mood—Liang Lian, and warned him word by word: "Liang Lian, I don't like being pointed at with swords. I advise you to quickly let your two servants put away the swords and don't force me to do it!"

Liang Lian remained indifferent, staring coldly at Xiao Qing, and asked, "You were the one who went to my Prince Liang's Mansion to steal the treasure, right?"

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and said indifferently: "If you have evidence, you can report me to the police and have me arrested."

Liang Lian snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that you and that Bai guy can deceive me and get away with it by using a trick to switch the treasures in the brocade box. You came to my Liang Wang Mansion to steal treasures. My Liang Wang Mansion guards saw it with their own eyes. You can't argue. Whether you admit it or not, I will arrest you today!"

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You are not a government official, so why are you arresting me?"

Liang Lian sneered and said arrogantly: "Just because my father is second only to the emperor and above everyone else—" His face darkened, and he ordered his two men: "—Catch him for me!"

"Yes!" Liang Lian's two men, Huo Feng and Liu Yong, obeyed the order in unison and rushed towards Xiaoqing at the same time. The long swords in their hands blocked Xiaoqing's retreat on the left and right respectively, hoping to capture Xiaoqing in one move.

Xiao Qing sneered arrogantly, without dodging or evading. She just pinched two petals between her fingers, flicked her fingers and shot them out, hitting the eyebrows of Huo Feng and Liu Yong like lightning, freezing them both instantly!

"Humph! You really know some magic! Let me take you down personally!"

"Swish—" Liang Lian drew his sword from its sheath, shook his wrist, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Xiaoqing.

"I said I don't like being pointed at with a sword!" Xiaoqing felt a little annoyed. Her face turned cold and she flashed, instantly approaching Liang Lian. Liang Lian was shocked and stabbed at Xiaoqing with his sword. Xiaoqing slightly turned sideways to avoid the sword and slapped Liang Lian on the shoulder. Liang Lian's body shook and he staggered back. The sword in his hand flew out of his hand and landed in the bushes far away with a clang.
