The emperor wanted to reward the two of them heavily, but Mu Ningyi heard it and refused to accept it. He said, "Your Majesty, money is something outside of our body, and it is useless to us practitioners."

In fact, Zhou Shaobai really wanted to receive some rewards as a way to get money, but Mu Ningzhi spoke first, so he had to nod reluctantly to say yes.

Seeing this, the emperor had no choice. He thought for a moment and ordered the eunuch to take out two gold medals and hand them over to the two, saying, "Since you don't want to reward, then accept these two gold medals. If you want to go to the palace to see me, you can enter the palace with this gold medal. In addition, if local officials see this gold medal, you can save a lot of trouble if you have this gold medal."

Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed and thought to himself that this thing was really good. If he spent all his money on the road in the future, he would take the gold medal to the nearby yamen and ask them to keep the accounts on the emperor.

So Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningyi both thanked the emperor. At this time, an eunuch came to inform him. After hearing his secret report, the emperor nodded and said, "I know."

Seeing this, Zhou Shaobai thought that the emperor must be very busy during this period and should not disturb him too much. So he gave Mu Ningzhi a wink. She understood it, so he immediately thanked him and left Guangming Palace.

The two walked on the palace road and saw three steps and one stairs and five steps. They were both parades of the soldiers of the Huwei Camp.

It turned out that the emperor was worried that there would be remnants of the eunuch party hiding in the palace, so he asked Chen Xuance to remain in the palace inside and outside the capital to strictly investigate the eunuch party. In addition, there were many eunuchs who were not eunuch party. Under the supervision of the soldiers, they transported the bodies left after the fight last night with a cart, wiped the blood, and restored the palace hall to its original state.

Mu Ningzhi suddenly stopped and looked at the Imperial Garden. Zhou Shaobai also stopped. After a look, he saw that the huge Imperial Garden was desolate and bleak, with black and gray ashes everywhere. It turned out that all the strange flowers and plants were destroyed by a fire last night.

Mu Ningzhi sighed in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity. When he came to this palace, he had not seen the appearance of the Imperial Garden, but he had become like this."

When he heard Mu Ningzhi finally spoke, Zhou Shaobai hurriedly said, "The wildfire cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze will grow again. Although the flowers and plants turn into ashes, they have added a lot of fertility to the land. When the spring comes next year, this place will definitely be a flower verge against beauty."

Mu Ningzhi was stunned, but thought to himself: The wildfire cannot burn all, and the spring breeze reappears... Why do you say so much like human feelings? I thought that after a fire was burned, I could finally return to the mountain to practice Taoism calmly, but why did he suddenly appear and save me last night, but his heart beat like a drum? Mu Ningzhi, you are really not good at it...

Thinking of this section, Mu Ningzhi couldn't help but feel sad. She only thought that her mind was still too weak, and her heart that had finally been firm was so easy to shake.

Seeing Mu Ningzhi's expression changing, Zhou Shaobai said, "You like flowers so much. After we complete our mission and return to the mountain, I will go to Danxia Peak and plant many snow and moon flowers you like outside your room. Let them accompany you every day, okay?"

Mu Ningzhi's heart trembled suddenly, and his cherry lips stammered for a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Zhou Shaobai said again: "I know you have been annoyed by me for Liu Ruyan. In fact, when you were in Liang Mansion, the truth was not what you saw. I had no other thoughts about her..."

"Don't say it anymore." Mu Ningzhi suddenly pouted angrily, "What does what you said have to do with me? I don't want to listen."

She was confused and turned around and left. Zhou Shaobai was not willing to let her go away. She followed her and said softly: "You are still angry with me, how can you say it's okay?"

Mu Ningzhi glared at him and said, "Mr. Zhou, I know you like to provoke girls' homes. Whoever you like to provoke will provoke you, but please don't provoke me anymore. When I find my biological parents, I will go back to the mountain to retreat and concentrate on practicing. Apart from that, I will not pay attention to other matters."

After hearing this, Zhou Shaobai thought to himself, OK, you said it yourself. If I advise you again, I will not be afraid that you will blame Liu Ruyan for letting go.

So he said, "In retreat and practice in peace? How many months do you have to practice?"

Mu Ningzhi snorted softly and said, "When I go back to the mountain to retreat and practice in peace, I will not leave the seclusion without entering the realm of Kaitian."

Zhou Shaobai was surprised: "Then you have to practice for decades?"

Mu Ningzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but even if I have been practicing for decades, what's the point?"

Zhou Shaobai sighed and said, "You don't know that snow and moon flowers usually only have ten years of life in the Middle Earth, and they will not bloom in the first three years after planting. If you really have to stay in seclusion and practice, you will be able to see their residual roots until the snow and moon flowers have died of old age for decades. During this period, you will never see their seven flowering periods. I feel sad and lamentable for this flower..."

Mu Ningyi was stunned and turned around and looked at the black and gray imperial garden. Somehow, a lot of inexplicable sorrow arose in his heart.

"Miss Mu, although diligence and talent in practicing Taoism are very important, if you don't have the opportunity and just seek hard, you may not be able to achieve your wish. In the realm of opening the sky, do you have to go into seclusion to cultivate? Why do you have to let your great years be with only a few stone walls?" Zhou Shaobai sighed quietly.

Mu Ningzhi blinked his eyes and felt warm in his heart: "You have said so much, are you caring about me?"

Zhou Shaobai nodded immediately and said, "If I hadn't cared about you, in this huge palace, I could not have sensed your spiritual energy from the outside last night."

Mu Ningzhi's eyes trembled slightly and he became silent. Zhou Shaobai said: It seems that it has finally achieved some results.

"Okay, let's believe your nonsense again." After a long time, Mu Ningzhi looked up and said. In fact, since Zhou Shaobai suddenly appeared last night and saved her life, her heart was no longer so firm.

Zhou Shaobai smiled and looked into her eyes and said, "What I'm talking about is nothing."

"Stop talking." Mu Ningzhi avoided his gaze, and somehow he was a little panicked. She suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, now you and I have nothing to do, you can accompany me to a place."

Zhou Shaobaiqi said: "Where to go?"

"Jinxiu Palace."

Mu Ningzhi bit his lower lip slightly.

It turned out that last night, she finally asked about the exact location of Jinxiu Palace. Now she found that it was not far from Jinxiu Palace. Although she had known that Jinxiu Palace had no one to live in for many years, Mu Ningzhi still wanted to go and take a look.

On the way to Jinxiu Palace, we met several more waves of parade soldiers. After showing the imperial gold medal, the soldiers hurriedly knelt down and released.

Zhou Shaobai happily put away the gold medal and said, "This is really a good thing, but you have to be careful to keep it and you must not lose it."
