The Tranquil Peace Inner Palace

Ye Fan had followed Fairy Xuan Xueqi to her inner palace.

This inner palace was actually Fairy Xuan Xueqi's personal inner palace and there were numerous restrictions that were placed by the many defensive arrays.

If the inner sanctuary is a heavily guarded place with its own defensive array restrictions, then the inner places of the three elder leaders were even more so.

He felt a little uneasy as he looked at her beautiful back; this maiden is simply too beautiful but she has the heart of a venomous snake.

There were only two inner protégés that were standing guard at the gate of this inner palace and they were both beautiful looking maidens.

They respectfully lowered their heads as Fairy Xuan Xueqi was near them.

"This is Ye Fan. From today onward, he will be staying at my inner palace." Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled as she said to them.

These two protégé sisters were startled as they stared blankly at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan saw that they were younger than him but this may be an illusion as they were cultivators. But he was also looking shocked as well; from today onward, he has to stay with this Witch Xuan Xueqi?!

A man and a maiden staying under the same roof?!

But all of a sudden, he began to calm down. It was because this may be a golden opportunity for him to kill her in her sleep or cultivation rest…

Fairy Xuan Xueqi turned around to return Ye Fan a wry smile as she handed a golden token to him, "With my token, you are free to enter my inner palace. The name of my inner palace is called the Tranquil Peace."

Ye Fan pretended to take the golden token with a grateful look but he was actually secretly thinking: After you have killed so many of the protégés of the Thousand Swords Divine Sect, you can still have a tranquil heart? I shall be the one that bust your peace then!

Fairy Xuan Xueqi said gently as she waved her hands to the two protégé sisters, "These two junior protégé sisters of yours are Xuan Ziyi and Xuan Manyu. They are my personal followers."

Ye Fan raised his hands to greet them, "Junior Protégé Sisters Xuan Ziyi, Xuan Manyu. It is my honor to be acquainted with you."

Xuan Ziyi giggled softly, "Senior Brother Ye Fan really has an honest look…"

"He may look honest but I wonder if he is truly honest in his heart." Xuan Manyu giggled as she interrupted Xuan Ziyi.

This startled Ye Fan; did they know something?

Fairy Xuan Xueqi gave them a stern look before she said to Ye Fan, "Come with me."

Soon, Ye Fan had followed Fairy Xuan Xueqi inside the inner palace.

There was a large garden with a lake at the outer court.

But strangely, there was no one else.

Ye Fan asked curiously, "Where is everyone?"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi answered nonchalantly, "There is no one else except for Xuan Ziyi and Xuan Manyu. All the others are not allowed inside my inner palace."

Ye Fan was secretly delighted when he had heard it; this mean that he only had to keep Xuan Ziyi and Xuan Manyu at bay while finding for an opportunity to kill the Witch Xuan Xueqi.

All of a sudden Fairy Xuan Xueqi pointed to a hut that was standing on the lake and it has a bridge that connected it from the garden, "That abode will be your dwelling place in the future. You shall stay there from now onward."

Ye Fan nodded slowly; he had never thought that he would be given a place with such a beautiful view and moreover the spiritual aura in this place was rich for cultivation too.

"Thank you, mistress…"

He found himself thanking her with a heartfelt look and when he had realized it, it was already too late to display his usual cool attitude.

"Good." Fairy Xuan Xueqi displayed a faint smile as she turned around to walk to her inner palace.

"Come." She said to Ye Fan with her beautiful back in front of him.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi had bidden him to follow her into her inner palace.

The hall of the inner place was grandeur and was even grandeur that the great hall where Ye Fan had seen his senior protégés earlier.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled to Ye Fan as she suddenly turned around to toss him a sword in a scabbard, "This name of this sword is Honor. With this sword, you shall honor your mistress and bring honor to the Profound Cloud Sect."

Ye Fan was taken aback by the name of this sword.

He unsheathed the sword and was stunned that this was an earth-step divine sword!

It was not just an ordinary precious sword but a powerful divine sword and it was even at the earth-step!

Indeed, it was a most precious gift.

Ye Fan was completely stunned that he could obtain a divine sword at such a low cultivation realm.

Usually, a divine sword was only given to a core protégé at the fifth cultivation realm and not at the second cultivation realm since at this cultivation realm, the core protégé would not be able to protect a divine sword and it would easily be taken away from them.

Ye Fan could not help himself as he gasped softly, "This is a most precious gift. Thank you, mistress…"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled, "You are my first core protégé so naturally I will be inclined to be more generous with you. So, do you like it?"

Ye Fan nodded as he was forced to admit that he did like it a lot, especially when it was much easier to kill the Witch Xuan Xueqi with a divine sword than a precious sword…

Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked delighted too and she smiled, "Now for my Six Aura Swords…"
