The moonlight slowly shifted, and as the sun rose in the east, it was soon the hour of Chen on the second day.
The stage was still surrounded by a crowd.
"Sing another song, Flower Queen!"
"Yes, I just arrived. Two songs are not enough to satisfy us!"
The crowd below shouted, and the man appeased them, "Everyone, the Flower Queen's performance time has arrived."
"If you all still feel you haven't seen enough, then it depends on your fate!"
With her robe obscuring her face, a woman walked through the crowd and stood at the front of the stage.
The Flower Queen looked at her, nodded, and pointed to the restaurant next door.
The robed woman was Bai Ran. She left the crowd and entered the restaurant.
"A private room," she said, following the waiter's guidance to a private room upstairs.
Inside the room, Jing Feng emerged, "Miss Bai, most people from the Divine Realm are not good people."
Miss Bai attending alone, it might be a banquet of Hongmen...
Bai Ran smiled faintly, "Don't I still have you, my guard?"
Jing Feng was speechless. After a while, a woman walked in, still wearing that half golden mask.
"You certainly have courage, young lady," the woman sat opposite her.
Bai Ran picked up the tea, her eyes filled with amusement, "I'm curious, what business do women from the Divine Realm have with me?"
The woman raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it you, young lady, who has confusions and seeks answers?"
Bai Ran took a sip of tea, "If that's the case, I fear I've come in vain."
"Waiter, the bill!"
The woman was stunned, clearly not expecting Bai Ran to be so decisive.
"Wait!" She interrupted Bai Ran, "I was presumptuous just now."
Bai Ran's eyes sparkled with a smile, "It's alright, people from the Divine Realm don't understand the rules here, I understand."
With this back and forth, the Flower Queen's imposing aura diminished. Jing Feng watched from the side, filled with emotion.
The woman composed herself and slowly removed the half golden mask.
"This!" Jing Feng looked at her face and then at Bai Ran, "How can you look so alike!"
Even Bai Ran was momentarily stunned, because the woman before her looked too much like herself.
"As you can see, I bear a striking resemblance to you," she said, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.
"Because of this face, I stood out among the many maids and was chosen by Lord Baili as his personal attendant."
"Normally, I appear before people as a child."
As she spoke, a pair of fluffy rabbit ears grew on her head, "I am a rabbit demon, capable of changing my appearance."
"You look like me, why were you chosen by him?" Bai Ran frowned.
The woman lowered her head and slowly said, "Because the Divine Lord, he likes you..."
"Pah, pah, pah! If you're here to be a mediator, then get out quickly!" Jing Feng exploded, fearing Bai Ran would be persuaded.
The woman quickly waved her hands, "No! I'm not here to persuade you to accept the Divine Lord!"
"Quite the opposite, I hope Miss Bai... stays away from the Divine Lord..." She clenched her fists.
Jing Feng rolled her eyes, almost to the heavens, "Tch, you really think that Divine Lord is a coveted prize, that everyone likes him."
Bai Ran looked directly at the woman, "Why?"
"Because the Divine Lord seems to have lost a part of his memory."
"Memory?" Bai Ran thought of the seal within her, she too had lost part of her memory due to the seal.
The woman nodded, "The Divine Lord grew up in the Nine Heavens since he was young, but as soon as he saw Miss Bai, he felt a heartache, always feeling as if he had forgotten something."
"Is there a possibility that your Divine Lord is suffering from lovesickness?" Jing Feng looked at the woman and said.
The woman shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, I can distinguish between amnesia and lovesickness."
"You don't want your Divine Lord to remember?" Bai Ran looked at her.
The woman hesitated, then nodded, "I like him..."
"The Divine Lord's memories must be related to Miss Bai, and I don't want him to remember..."
"And so you sought me out," Bai Ran took a sip of tea, "Hoping I would stay away from him."
The woman nodded again.
"Then what about the prophesied destined person in the Divine Realm?" Bai Ran asked her.
"The destined person..." The woman bit her lower lip, "I have no way either..."
"Perhaps when you enter the Nine Heavens, someone from the Divine Realm will come to escort you to marry the Divine Lord."
"Marry!" Jing Feng's eyes widened, "Marry my foot!"
If Miss Bai married that Divine Lord, what about the Venerable One!
Bai Ran glanced at Jing Feng, who immediately shut her mouth and sat quietly to the side.
"Marriage is impossible, I can guarantee that," Bai Ran said slowly to the woman, "But whether I can stay away from him, that's not up to me."
After all, that man's power was far superior to hers, and it would be easy for him to track her whereabouts.
The woman pursed her lips and handed over a small peach sword, "This is for you."
Bai Ran took the peach sword. She continued, "This peach sword can hide your aura, so even the Divine Lord's star chart cannot find you."
"This is quite a good item," Bai Ran accepted the peach sword, "Thank you."
"One more thing," the woman's expression turned serious, "If you encounter the Divine Maiden of Yaochi Palace, you must be careful."
"The Divine Maiden of Yaochi Palace?" Bai Ran couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, that Divine Maiden is infatuated with the Divine Lord to the point of madness, and due to her status, no one in the Nine Heavens dares to defy her."
"If your identity as the destined person is exposed, she will definitely not let you off."
Bai Ran nodded, "I understand."
The conversation finished, the woman stood up, "I should go, it won't be good if the Divine Lord finds out."
They both watched the woman leave.
Jing Feng slumped onto the chair, "This Lord Baili is quite popular, unlike the Venerable One, who is so pitifully single."
Bai Ran shot him a look, "Did you find out the whereabouts of that Wang Yu?"
Jing Feng shook his head, "I've scoured the entire Middle Realm, and I can't find anyone named Wang Yu."
"There was someone named Wang Yu in the previous generation who was recently promoted a few days ago and has now become a concubine of the Xiao family."
Bai Ran listened, a plan forming in her mind.
As soon as she returned to Quetian Sect, she was hastily brought before Sect Leader Xiong by Elder Lin.
"Sect Leader, I've brought her here," Elder Lin said, out of breath.
Sect Leader Xiong smiled and gestured for Bai Ran to sit.
"Sect Leader, what is this?" Bai Ran sat opposite Sect Leader Xiong.
"Alas, the Sect Leader and I were playing chess. Whoever lost had to go find you," Elder Lin waved his hand, "I'll leave first."
After Elder Lin left, Sect Leader Xiong smiled at Bai Ran, "Little girl, weren't you supposed to go to Ziyun Sect for cultivation exchange?"
"The demonized human attack a few days ago destroyed many buildings, so going to Ziyun Sect is no longer possible."
Bai Ran nodded, "I understand."
