Suddenly hearing her aunt's name from someone else's mouth in a respectful tone, Xue Li felt a subtle sense of discomfort for a moment, but then she immediately pricked up her white ears, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Zi Lan beside her and ran towards the main entrance together.
Zi Lan was pulled by Xue Li's sleeve. He paused for a moment, feeling a little happy in his heart, and immediately followed.
The scene when Fairy Shaoyin arrived at the Wolf Palace was more grand than expected.
Because of Shao Yin's fame in the Ninth Heaven, the immortal officials of the entire Wolf Palace were in an uproar. Xue Li heard everyone talking excitedly along the way.
"Fairy Shaoyin?! Is she really that Fairy Shaoyin?!"
"The Shao Yin Yuan Jun on the Snow Lotus Peak?!"
"I heard that she just returned to the Ninth Heaven after her tribulation in the mortal world..."
"She actually came to the Wolf Palace in person!"
"I heard that she came here specifically for Fairy Xueli."
"Fairy Shaoyin came to the Wolf Palace specifically for Fairy Xueli. I guess she wants Fairy Xueli to formally accept her as her disciple!"
"The world's number one medical genius actually personally..."
The immortal officials of the Wolf Palace who had no urgent matters to attend to were all rushing towards the main gate, intending to welcome them with great ceremony. The medical immortals ran especially fast and gathered in front of the Wolf Palace gate in a flash.
Xueli and Zilan also arrived at the main entrance.
Even though they had greeted the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen beforehand and told them in advance that Fairy Shao Yin would come to visit the Wolf Territory, the small meeting with the Star-Holding Divine Beast had just ended when Fairy Shao Yin arrived at the gate of the Wolf Palace. The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen still seemed a little hurried as they went back and forth, but they were still dressed in formal attire and looked decent.
In front of the Wolf Palace, with the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen as the center, hundreds of thousands of Wolf Officers spread out on both sides and followed closely behind.
A beautiful fairy carriage was parked in front of the palace, with two well-behaved fairy children accompanying the carriage. Gancao and Danggui came forward together, opened the carriage door, lifted the light gauze curtain, and invited the fairy Shaoyin out of the carriage.
Fairy Shao Yin wore a plain dress, but her aura made it impossible for anyone to look down upon her. Instead, everyone showed respect to her, especially the medical immortals present, who looked at Fairy Shao Yin with reverence and admiration.
Shao Yin calmly got down from the fairy carriage, with outstanding temperament and dignified manners.
She slowly walked towards the wolf king and queen.
Fairy Shaoyin is eight thousand years old and is the body of an ancient snow lotus. In terms of seniority, only Lord Xuanwu can compare with her.
Before Fairy Shao Yin came to them, the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen had already politely stepped forward to greet her, saying, "I have heard of Fairy Shao Yin's name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."
"Lord Wolf King, Lord Wolf Queen, you are too kind."
Shao Yin smiled modestly, and her calm and gentle tone made people feel good about her.
"I apologize for disturbing you here."
"No way."
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen quickly invited her into the Wolf Palace and said, "Fairy, you have come from afar. The Wolf Palace has prepared a fairy palace for you. Please come in and rest."
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen personally brought Fairy Shao Yin into the Wolf Palace.
Fairy Shaoyin walked inside accompanied by the fairies, like the moon surrounded by stars.
Xue Li was in the crowd. She saw her aunt looking at her and smiled and winked at her quietly.
Xue Li blushed a little when her aunt looked at her. She knew that her aunt came to the Wolf Palace and would probably discuss their engagement with Zi Lan's parents soon. She couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Fairy Shao Yin was soon surrounded by the crowd and entered the Wolf Palace. The Wolf King and Queen wanted to talk to Fairy Shao Yin alone. The wolf officers gradually dispersed, and the medical fairies were still talking about their meeting with Fairy Shao Yin.
Xue Li and Zi Lan had not been summoned yet, so they could rest on their own, and the two returned to the Immortal Palace together.
Xue Li still lives in the original side hall.
The two of them are now used to staying together when they have nothing to do. When Xue Li is reading medical books and studying medicine, Zi Lan puts a similar desk next to her, and they read books, practice, and review documents given to him by the Wolf King and Queen together. Sometimes they also practice with their dual swords in the open space outdoors.
This day is no different.
Xueli and Zilan sat in the room together, but Xueli was thinking about her aunt meeting the wolf king and queen, so she couldn't calm down. She didn't read a single word of the medical book in front of her.
She simply put down the book, turned into a little white fox, ran to Zi Lan, jumped onto his knees, and disturbed him while he was reading.
Actually, Zi Lan wasn't really concentrating on the book. When he saw Xue Li running towards him to play, he immediately turned into a big snow wolf and gently licked the little nine-tailed fox.
Xueli said, "Let's go outside and take a walk in the sun! The weather is nice today."
Zi Lan nodded in agreement.
The two white balls quickly left the house, with Xueli leading the way, wandering around in the garden, looking at the flowers and the grass.
However, as she walked around in the garden, Xue Li soon discovered that the big snow wolf was not so much playing with her as following her closely and guarding her very carefully.
In order to prove her idea, Xueli had to drag her tail around in circles in the garden.
Sure enough, the big snow wolf had no intention of leaving and kept following her closely, chasing after Xue Li's tail.
Zi Lan didn't have any other thoughts, but he just discovered that someone was following Xue Li in Xuelian Peak. Zi Lan was really worried. Thinking of the man in white, he secretly blamed himself for his negligence. He did not protect Xue Li well that day. Such a thing must not happen a second time, so he became extremely vigilant and was unwilling to let Xue Li leave his sight for a moment.
So he followed Xueli around attentively.
As a result, Xue Li dragged a big snow wolf behind her and turned around for several circles, making the sound of "嘤嘤嘤".
Just when they had almost walked ten laps, Xue Li suddenly stopped, and when Zi Lan was not prepared to look back, she turned around with a "wow" and pounced on him, hugged Zi Lan's head and hung on him.
“Ouch—”
Zi Lan was caught off guard by Xue Li who turned around and pounced on him. He was so scared that he tensed his body and dared not move, for fear that Xue Li would fall.
Xueli was not afraid. She licked Zilan's forehead affectionately and asked, "Wuwu, what are you doing?"
Zi Lan carefully lay down so that Xue Li could jump around freely and safely. He paused for a moment and replied, "... to protect you."
Xueli asked: "Is it because of the discovery of the movement of the man in white?"
"… Um."
Zi Lan responded.
Xueli jumped up and down lively, "Don't worry, I'm fine now."
Zi Lan looked at Xue Li's fluffy face and spoke in a low voice with determination. He said, "But just because it happened once doesn't mean it will happen again. I let my guard down that night. I must not let it happen again. I don't want you to get hurt."
In fact, considering the white-clothed man's cultivation, Xueli was lucky to find some clues that night. If something really happened, the consequences would be disastrous.
As he spoke, Zi Lan slowed down his movements, curled up his body, and held the little white fox in his arms, protecting it with utmost care.
“Ouch.”
Xueli rubbed against Zilan.
When Xue Li thought about what happened that night, she was actually very scared. The man in white appeared at the Snow Lotus Peak almost silently. If the bushes had not shaken a little, she would not have felt anything unusual.
Even if Zi Lan said he wanted to protect her, they couldn't really stick together twelve hours a day. Not to mention that they were not husband and wife yet, it was impossible for them to be together at night... Xue Li knew that she had to be careful, but she completely felt Zi Lan's intentions and did feel a lot more at ease.
She couldn't help but rub against Zi Lan's arms sweetly, and the two white balls snuggled comfortably together.
…
At this moment, Fairy Shao Yin was sitting face to face with the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen solemnly in the hall.
All three were prestigious gods and immortals, and they could speak to each other easily and in unison.
Fairy Shao Yin asked straight to the point, "I think Xueli and Zilan have already told the Wolf King and Queen about what happened at Xuelian Peak? We can no longer live at Xuelian Peak for the time being. Xueli, I, and the boys from Xuelian Peak will probably have to bother the Wolf Palace for a while."
The Wolf Queen nodded and said, "That's fine. Lan'er and Xueli have already explained the details in detail. We just held a Star Master Meeting to discuss this matter."
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen told Fairy Shao Yin roughly what happened at the Star Control Conference, as well as the judgment of the God of Black Tortoise.
Shao Yin was obviously surprised when she heard that the man in white was actually the Moon Goddess.
Even Shao Yin, who was aloof from worldly affairs and devoted to medicine, had heard of the name of the Moon Goddess Zuixin. What's more, the song "Looking for the Moon" that Xue Xin loved to sing was also related to the Moon Goddess.
But fortunately, she had eight thousand years of cultivation, so she calmed down soon.
She couldn't help but say with regret: "So you guys have already held a Star Master Contest... What a pity. If I could catch up, I would have hoped to attend and listen to it together."
Shao Yin said: "After Xueli and Zilan left Xuelian Peak, the two boys and I checked Xuelian Peak inside and out. We didn't find any trace of the man in white. We didn't even know how and when he got in. The situation was very serious."
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen listened to Shao Yin intently, and were disappointed when they heard that she didn't have any clues either.
The Wolf King said: "We have no clue for now. Even if the Black Tortoise God is present, it is difficult to determine the other party's purpose and hiding place."
To be honest, this incident really made Shao Yin feel alert.
She let Xue Li and Zi Lan go first because she was afraid that the other party would still stay in Xuelian Peak. The target of the man in white was obviously the star-controlling beast, and both Xue Li and Zi Lan would be in danger.
The Snow Lotus Peak was so huge, located on the top of Yunshan Mountain, covered with snow. It was difficult for even ordinary immortals to fly up on the wind. Moreover, there was an ancient lotus immortal like her who was 8,000 years old. The man in white came and left as she wished, and she didn't even feel a trace of his breath. After he left, there was no trace, except for that small piece of cloth, not even a footprint was left. What kind of cultivation was this? How cautious was he
Shao Yin's heart was beating fast as she thought about it.
She paused for a moment before continuing, "To be honest with the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, I actually have something I would like to ask the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen for help regarding the disappearance of the Star-Holding Divine Beast. Not only the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, but also the Snow Lotus Peak is short of manpower. I'm afraid we may need the help of other Gods and Immortals, so I want to bring it up at the Star-Holding Conference."
The wolf king asked curiously, "What is it?"
Shao Yin said: "I think the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan... may still be alive."
"What?!"
The wolf king and queen were immediately shocked.
This is also something Shao Yin has always been thinking about.
When Xueli told her that the Nine-Tailed Fox might still be alive, Shaoyin thought it made sense. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. She wanted to try to find it. Moreover, Xuexin was also with the Nine-Tailed Fox at the time. For both public and private reasons, Shaoyin was more willing to believe Xueli's analysis.
However, if they wanted to find the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, they would have to search the entire world from the Nine Heavens to the mortal world. It would be impossible for her, Xue Li, and the two boys to do it alone, and they would have to unite with other gods and immortals.
Shao Yin calmed down and said, "This was originally thought of by Xue Li..."
