"What the Taoist master said is extremely true. This child has been in the palace for so many years. Although he had relied on his own hard work and eyes to obtain the help of the noble and powerful, step by step he climbed up to the position of deputy commander of the imperial guards, this boy truly felt very tired after so many years. My heart feels very tired, and I guess the Taoist master feels the same way.

However, since the Taoist master had already left this circle, why did he come back here? Could it be that the Taoist also thinks that he has not met with the fate of death? " The Vice Commander of the imperial guards said.

In fact, as the Vice Commander of the imperial guards heard the Ghost Catcher Master's words, a trace of doubt began to rise in his heart. It was just that the Vice Commander of the imperial guards was now very convinced of Grandmaster Ghost-Capturing. Since this old Master Ghost Catcher was so mysterious, then he must have had an unusual past. But the Vice Commander of the imperial guards didn't ask any further questions. The Vice Commander of the imperial guards also had a lot of secrets and worries on his mind, of course, many things couldn't be revealed.

"Young man, go back and rest early." We'll see you tomorrow! " Master Ghost Catcher said.

Master Ghost Catcher did not directly answer the Vice Commander of the imperial guards. After he finished speaking, before the Vice Commander of the imperial guards could even respond, a black shadow flashed several times before disappearing into the boundless night.

The Vice Commander of the imperial guards watched Master Ghost Catcher's blurry back figure as he left. He stood there quietly, thinking for a long time about the conversation he had with Master Ghost Catcher, before leaving the pavilion.

Only after the Vice Commander of the imperial guards left, a figure turned out to be a young eunuch behind a fake mountain. However, this young eunuch's gaze was filled with hatred as he watched the Vice Commander of the imperial guards leave.

On the second day, before the darkness of the night had even dissipated, the entire palace had begun to bustle with activity. The Minister of Rites had even gotten up early and started making all sorts of trivial arrangements.

As the saying goes, 'etiquette cannot be wasted.' For a country to place importance on etiquette could also mean that a country's level of civilization was very high. Since the reign of the Emperor Xuanyuan Chen Mo, Xuanyuan Kingdom has greatly strengthened the development of culture and the consolidation of etiquette.

There had always been various kinds of grand ceremonies held in the imperial palace. However, this was the first time an expert from the commoners had been invited to the Imperial Palace for a grand ceremony. However, this matter didn't have much to do with Xuanyuan Kingdom's national fortunes. The main culprit was the empress Shangguan Congxue's suggestion of a purge in the harem.

For many years, the palace was filled with the glow of swords and shadows. Its ferocity and ruthlessness were comparable to that of a soldier fighting in a battlefield. However, the luxurious beauty within the palace had concealed all sorts of secrets. Many people in the Imperial Palace were in fact even more miserable than the commoners. The fear of humans was not that they would be able to obtain nothing. Many people in the imperial palace, especially in the imperial harem, were unable to live in peace. Many people did not know whether or not they could see the sunrise on the second day.

The main hall of the Devil's Exorcist Hall, which had been proposed and prepared for a long time by the empress Shangguan Congxue, was finally held as scheduled today. Although many eunuchs and maids in the imperial palace held a kind of fear towards the empress, the significance of this meeting in the hall had already been unrestrainedly announced by the empress Shangguan Congxue. Many palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the imperial concubine and imperial concubine, also felt great anticipation towards the holding of the ceremony.

When the first light of dawn shone down, the huge square in front of the incense altar was already filled with people from the harem. The Minister of Rites, as well as the elderly High Priest in the palace, all stood beneath the incense altar. They then looked at the only figure within the altar.

At this moment, standing in the middle of the incense altar, facing the towering sky-upholding, sky-upholding Master Ghost Catcher, he had already changed out of his usual black clothes. Replacing it was a set of Taoist robes.

Even an otherworldly expert like the Ghost Master was quite satisfied with the robe that the empress, Shangguan Congxue, had personally prepared for him. At this time, the Ghost Master held a golden peach wood sword in one hand and a horsetail whisk in the other. He stood tall and straight on the incense altar with his back facing the harem and the others behind him.

At this moment, the Emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo, had yet to arrive, so everyone was silently waiting. Only by occasionally calming his heart could he hear a whisper or two. It should be the first time that many people from the harem participated in such a grand ceremony, but it was a ceremony hosted by an otherworldly expert from the outside world. Although Grandmaster Ghost Catcher didn't look as orthodox as the senior priests in the palace, under the meticulous disguise of the empress, Shangguan Canxue, the Grandmaster Ghost Catcher exuded an aura of saintliness that was as elegant as the mortal world.

Although this didn't match with the dense Yin Qi before the Ghost Catcher, under the new clothing, he no longer gave off the feeling of making people's hair stand on end.

At this moment, the pale and prideful expression on Grandmaster Ghost Catcher's face had already disappeared. What he put on was a look of compassion, in short, the feeling he gave others today was one of being able to overturn everything. Many of the palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Dong Fang Ziqing and Xue Mei had already arrived at the incense burner and saw the empress, Shangguan Congxue, who had been one step ahead of them. Dong Fang Ziqing then walked over and stood at the front of the crowd with Shangguan Que, waiting for the arrival of the emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo.

"Younger sister Yanran greets elder sister empress." Empress Sis really came early today. Sister guessed that she must have slept rather badly last night, but I didn't expect Empress Sis to be able to come so early. I'm really impressed. " Dong Fang Ziqing walked over and said as she looked at the empress, Shangguan Que Xue, who was also looking at her.

"Sister, there is no need to be so polite. Elder sister was just a step earlier than her younger sister. His little sister was so beautiful, it was fine if she didn't need to be so early. He had to be careful to protect his own beauty. If one day I get hurt in the slightest, maybe in the future, I will have no choice but to go to the Cold Palace to visit my little sister. " Shangguan Tianxue had already pointed it out.

"Haha, I don't know what's going on. His sister had been in a very good mood ever since she returned from attending the three halls that the emperor convened to interrogate her last night. His sister had also slept well the entire night, but he hadn't expected that his sister would arrive earlier than his sister. It seems like elder sister has something on her mind, otherwise, you wouldn't have woken up so early. " Dongfang Ziqing said.

It was unknown why Dongfang Ziqing couldn't help but want to mock and ridicule Shangguan Canxue every time she faced him. Perhaps it was because Shangguan Canxue had orchestrated those schemes and tricks to frame Dongfang Ziqing that year. After all, if it weren't for Shangguan Tianxue's instigation, Xuanyuan Chen Mo wouldn't have been so heartless in dealing with his beloved one. Therefore, Dongfang Ziqing had often used the ruthless and merciless hatred of Xuanyuan ChenChen Mo as well as the reckless methods of Shangguan Bongxue.

"The red qipao that my sister gave my sister last night is indeed complementary to each other." Elder sister knew that after her younger sister wore this set of clothes, she would definitely stand at the head of the group during the Wishing Ghost Exorcist Ceremony. Little sister, look at how well you're dressed, it's a complete reflection of your little sister's perfect figure. "Haha." Shangguan Canxue said.

"Hehe, when little sister saw big sister, she was so happy that she forgot to thank little sister first for her deep friendship. What ability did his sister have to be able to wear the qipao bestowed upon him by his capable elder sister? His sister knew that he was being a bit rough on things, but his sister should also understand his sister's character. "Younger sister is that kind of person who can't bear to look at others. If little sister has offended big sister in any way, please forgive her." Dongfang Ziqing said.

It was unknown when the Eastern Ziqing had arrived last night, but the empress Shangguan Congxue had delivered this qipao to the Wutong Palace. At that time, it was probably because Dongfang Ziqing, Xue Mei, and Brother Mining were having a secret discussion with each other. Usually, Xue Mei would tell the people outside not to disturb Dongfang Ziqing unless it was something very important.

This morning, when Dongfang Ziqing had woken up, Xuemei had picked up the qipao from one side and gave it to Dongfang Ziqing, saying that the empress had sent someone to deliver it last night so that Dongfang Ziqing could use it for dressing up during the Wishing Ghost Exorcist Assembly.
