Consort Shu's Devastation, Reorganizing the Mixed Bath Division

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have also troubled Sister Lingshuang to come personally."

Gao Xuan expressed his gratitude and readily accepted everything.

Ling Shuang nodded gently, but then furrowed her brows and asked, "You made a breakthrough?"

"Thanks to the pill His Majesty gave me last night," Gao Xuan said with a smile." I felt my realm loosen up a little after I came back, so I managed to make a breakthrough by chance."

Hearing this explanation, Ling Shuang felt somewhat relieved.

The pill His Majesty had taken out yesterday was extremely precious. Even the emperor herself would hesitate to use it, yet it was readily brought out for a fake eunuch without any hesitation.

With this in mind, Ling Shuang turned serious and said to Gao Xuan, "Your talent in cultivation is excellent. You must cultivate diligently in the future and not disappoint His Majesty's trust in you."

Gao Xuan immediately patted his chest and said loyally,"Sister Ling Shuang, rest assured, my loyalty to His Majesty is as eternal as the sun and moon. I will not even furrow my brow, no matter the dangers ahead, as long as His Majesty gives the order!"

Ling Shuang was unmoved, rolling her eyes at him: "Save these flattering words for His Majesty. It's useless to be glib in front of me."

"Cough, cough."

Even though Gao Xuan had thick skin, being exposed on the spot still made him feel a little embarrassed.

This woman didn't give him any face at all. Wasn't it just because he won her previously?

"Alright, I'm leaving. We still haven't found the whereabouts of the demon woman from the White Lotus Sect. If you have any information, inform me immediately. Remember not to act on your own, as you are no match for that demon woman."

"And the antidote for the Soul Annihilating Pill. I'll send it over when the time is almost up."

After saying that, Ling Shuang turned and left.

"Sister Ling Shuang, I won't see you off then. Take care."

Gao Xuan shouted at Ling Shuang's back, but unfortunately, there was no response.

Gao Xuan took the opportunity to open the system panel in his mind and check Ling Shuang's attributes.

[Name: Ling Shuang]

[Age: 24]

[Cultivation: Five Elements Sealing King primary stage]

[Identity: Yunxiao Palace's direct disciple, Emperor's personal guard.]

Gao Xuan couldn't help but sigh softly. Ling Shuang's cultivation level was indeed high, already reaching the Sealing King Realm.

What surprised him was her identity as a direct disciple of Yunxiao Palace. He hadn't expected her to have such a background.

Although Gao Xuan hadn't heard of Yunxiao Palace before, he knew that there were many cultivation sects in the world of cultivation. However, cultivators focused on reducing desires and severing karmic ties, so they rarely descended from the mountains to involve themselves in worldly affairs.

Presumably, Yunxiao Palace was also one of those cultivation sects. As for why Ling Shuang became the Emperor's personal guard, he was unclear about the reasons. There must be some underlying cause.

Gao Xuan watched as Ling Shuang walked away, then closed the door and returned to his room.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a gleaming dagger.

Gao Xuan tilted his head slightly and easily dodged, then frowned and extended his hand, firmly grasping Consort Shu's white neck, lifting her up.

His patience was wearing thin. This woman just wouldn't stop.

"Do you really think I won't dare to kill you?"

Consort Shu's face flushed red as she pretended to look pitiful and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just testing your reaction. I really didn't mean to harm you, truly."

She had completely discarded her pride now, but as long as there was even a slight chance to kill Gao Xuan, she would try.

"Heh, do you think I believe you?"

Gao Xuan coldly smiled and directly flipped her over, pressing her against the table.

"Again!!"

Consort Shu's mentality completely collapsed. How could this person just keep going on and on?!!

Is this guy really made of iron?!!!

...

Time passed by quickly and it was already evening.

Consort Shu tightly wrapped herself in the blanket, leaning against the foot of the bed. Her injuries had indeed healed, but now she had no strength left.

Moreover, she couldn't understand why Gao Xuan was so... so tireless. Wasn't he exhausted at all? Even with a high cultivation level, it shouldn't be like this!

Consort Shu coldly watched as Gao Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground cultivating, swallowing bottles of pills like they were candy.

This guy was truly a pervert, even his cultivation method was so different from others.

"You're such a big liar, daring to deceive even the Emperor. Be careful when you're exposed one day, see how you'll die then." Consort Shu said fiercely.

She had eavesdropped on the conversation between Ling Shuang and Gao Xuan while crouching at the door crack, and her disdain for Gao Xuan's actions deepened.

No wonder he had rushed up to her that night and voluntarily stabbed himself with a silver hairpin. It turned out he did it all to pretend to be injured and deceive her into giving him the pill!

"You seem to have a lot to say?"

Gao Xuan turned his head and glanced at her, causing Consort Shu to shrink her body in fear, tightly covering her mouth with both hands.

She had developed a psychological trauma and really didn't want to brush her teeth anymore!!

After a moment, seeing that Gao Xuan was still focused on cultivation and didn't seem to have any evil intentions, Consort Shu gathered her courage and reached out her hand, saying, "It's been a whole day, give me the antidote for today."

Gao Xuan furrowed his brows slightly, "What antidote?"

"What antidote are you talking about? The poison pill you gave me this morning! Have you forgotten?" Consort Shu was extremely annoyed.

Could this bastard really have forgotten?

She didn't want to risk turning into a hideous monster covered in sores and pus all over her body due to someone's carelessness.

"Oh, as long as I don't control that poison pill, it won't take effect. You can rest assured." Gao Xuan said.

"Really?"

Consort Shu was somewhat doubtful.

She doubted whether the poison pill was real. How could a lowly eunuch like him obtain such a high-level poison pill?

Usually, poison pills needed to be taken regularly in a specific amount of antidote to suppress their toxicity. Pills that could be controlled at will were extremely rare and of high grade.

But then she thought, this guy could deceive everyone right under the Emperor's nose all the time, so perhaps it was true.

She didn't want to gamble with her own appearance.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Gao Xuan said indifferently. After absorbing and converting all the pills into his cultivation, he stood up.

Seeing that it was getting late, there were still things to do tonight.

Now that he had become the head of the Mixed Bath Division, it was natural for him to eliminate all the spies hiding various forces within the Mixed Bath Division. This was the task assigned by the Emperor.

"I'm going out for a while, you stay here and hide if someone comes."

Consort Shu was surprised, "Why are you going out so late?"

As soon as the words came out, she realized she had been too talkative and quickly closed her mouth, indicating that she understood.

After Gao Xuan left and locked the door from the outside, his figure disappeared into the darkness of the night.

As a former lowly servant eunuch, even though his status was humble, he knew a lot of inside information, especially about the influences behind each eunuch. He was well-informed.

After all, these servants chatted about these things when they had nothing better to do.

So Gao Xuan effortlessly and accurately found out who lived where, then ruthlessly hunted them down one by one.
