Looking at the smile on Time's face, Ye Xi simply waved her hand gently at Time below, signaling that he could withdraw.
After receiving Ye Xi's signal, Time bowed to Ye Xi on the main seat, and then left the hall directly.
After Time left, Ye Xi's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of her chair, a look of contemplation appearing in her deep blue eyes.
"Lingyuan, let's make a trip to the Tiandou Royal Palace."
Ye Xi rose from her seat, her voice as crisp and melodious as an oriole.
"Very well, Young Miss."
Lingyuan agreed, then followed silently behind Ye Xi.
After the two left the Frost Snow Pavilion, they headed straight toward the direction of the Tiandou Royal Palace.
Walking on the bustling street, listening to the constant hawking of vendors on both sides, a touch of emotion could not help but appear in Ye Xi's eyes.
"In the blink of an eye, I've already been in Heaven Dou City for three years."
Looking at the familiar street, Ye Xi muttered to herself.
"But you, Young Miss, are still just a child."
Hearing Ye Xi's muttering, Lingyuan suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xi turned her head to look at Lingyuan, a smile blooming on her exquisite face.
The two did not speak again and soon arrived at the Tiandou Royal Palace.
The guards at the palace gate, upon seeing that the visitors were Ye Xi, immediately cleared a path to let Ye Xi and Lingyuan enter the palace.
Arriving unimpeded at the front of the Crown Prince's palace, Ye Xi led Lingyuan straight inside.
Xue Qinghe, who was flipping through books in the palace, immediately closed the book in his hand upon seeing Ye Xi enter.
"Ye Xi, you're here."
Xue Qinghe reached out his hand, signaling for Ye Xi to sit down in front of him.
"I am planning to leave for a while."
Ye Xi went and sat down in front of Xue Qinghe, placed her arms on the table in front of her, propped her chin in her hands, and watched Xue Qinghe quietly.
"Leave for a while?"
"Where are you planning to go?"
A touch of surprise appeared in Xue Qinghe's eyes.
"To Suotuo City."
"During the Time I am away, please help me look after the affairs of the Frost Snow Pavilion."
Ye Xi answered very straightforwardly, without any hesitation.
"Suotuo City?"
"How long will you be gone?"
Xue Qinghe pondered slightly before asking.
"About three to five months."
"The specific Time is uncertain; once I handle some matters over there, I will return."
Ye Xi answered calmly.
"Hmm, I will look after the Frost Snow Pavilion."
"When do you plan to leave?"
Xue Qinghe reached out to pick up a teacup and poured a cup of water for Ye Xi.
"Within these next few days."
"After arranging the matters of the Frost Snow Pavilion, I will set off for Suotuo City."
Ye Xi took the tea and sipped it unhurriedly.
"Alright, I understand."
Xue Qinghe reached out and stroked Ye Xi's hair, a faint smile appearing on his elegant face.
As for whether there would be any danger in Ye Xi going to Suotuo City, Xue Qinghe was not worried at all.
After all, in the entire Heaven Dou City now, who didn't know that Ye Xi and Lingyuan were inseparable?
"Then I'll return to the Frost Snow Pavilion to arrange things."
After putting down the teacup, Ye Xi stood up and walked out of the palace.
Watching Ye Xi leave, Xue Qinghe just smiled and didn't say anything.
Returning to the Frost Snow Pavilion, Ye Xi sat down on the main seat in the hall, crossed her legs, and looked at Lingyuan, who was standing beside her, with her deep blue eyes.
"Lingyuan, go to the back hall and invite Dugu Bo, Du Gu Yan, and Ye Lingling to come to the hall."
After Ye Xi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and waited quietly.
Seeing Ye Xi's state, Lingyuan did not disturb her but silently headed toward the back hall.
Not long after, Lingyuan brought Dugu Bo, Du Gu Yan, and Ye Lingling into the hall.
"Pavilion Master, you summoned us, is there something the matter?"
Dugu Bo sat down in the hall and looked at Ye Xi on the main seat with a chuckle.
Since coming to live in the Frost Snow Pavilion, Dugu Bo's treatment had been very generous, and usually, there was nothing to do; he only needed to stay in the Frost Snow Pavilion and drink tea. His life was very comfortable.
"I am going to leave the Frost Snow Pavilion for a while."
"After I leave, the affairs of the Frost Snow Pavilion will be temporarily managed by Aunt Ye."
"But Aunt Ye is not in the Frost Snow Pavilion right now, so when Aunt Ye returns, please trouble Senior Dugu to pass on the message."
Ye Xi's eyes gradually opened, and she revealed a faint smile at Dugu Bo.
"No problem, when Ye Qingxue returns, this old man will convey the message to her."
Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all and agreed directly.
Hearing this, Ye Xi turned her gaze toward Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Du Gu Yan was now a level 38 Spirit Elder, and Ye Lingling was a level 33 Spirit Elder.
"Du Gu Yan, Lingling, your cultivation speeds seem a bit slow. Tianyue and I are already four-ring Spirit Ancestors, yet you are still three-ring Spirit Elders."
While speaking, Ye Xi took two Immortal Herbs from her storage bracelet: "These two Immortal Herbs are: Silk Tulip, and Eight-Petal Fairy Orchid."
"The Silk Tulip is for you, Lingling, and the Eight-Petal Fairy Orchid is for Du Gu Yan. After you absorb these two Immortal Herbs, your spirit power will be greatly improved."
Ye Xi handed the two Immortal Herbs to Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling respectively, and told them how to consume them.
"Ye Xi, you are really too kind."
After receiving the Immortal Herb, Du Gu Yan reached out and hugged Ye Xi, rubbing her cheek gently against Ye Xi's cheek.
Ye Lingling looked at the Immortal Herb in her hand, equally excited, but she didn't hug Ye Xi like Du Gu Yan did, instead looking at Ye Xi with a grateful gaze.
"Alright, alright."
"We are all our own people, no need to be so excited."
Ye Xi gently pushed Du Gu Yan away, a beautiful curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Dugu Bo, sitting below, watched the playful interaction between Ye Xi and Du Gu Yan, revealing only a kind smile, with no intention of speaking.
"Alright, you two go back to the back hall and absorb the Immortal Herbs first."
"After absorbing them, have Senior Dugu take you to add a spirit ring. I still have some matters to arrange."
Ye Xi looked at Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling and said softly.
"Hmm, then we'll head back first."
Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling waved at Ye Xi, then walked toward the back hall.
"Pavilion Master, if there is nothing else, this old man will go back first."
Dugu Bo stood up and bowed slightly to Ye Xi, his somewhat aged face full of smiles at this moment.
"Hmm, Senior Dugu, you may go back first."
Ye Xi nodded gently at Dugu Bo below, signaling that he could return to the back hall first.
Dugu Bo stood up from his seat and walked directly toward the back hall.
Perhaps because Du Gu Yan had received the Immortal Herb, Dugu Bo felt his steps were much lighter.
