Chapter 524: A vase with nothing but beauty?
Qianluo Palace is located in the north of Mengling City, which is the most prosperous area in the entire city.
From afar, the magnificent palace stands tall, so majestic and magnificent that it is breathtaking.
The entire Qianluo Palace covers a very large area and has a unique architectural style that is classical, solemn and elegant, highlighting the majesty and status of the Qianluo Palace.
Especially under the sunlight, the roof and walls of the palace reflect dazzling light, making the entire palace look more magnificent and shining.
But who could have imagined that beneath this seemingly brilliant appearance, there were actually countless conspiracies and intrigues hidden.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Qianluo Palace, Su Chenyin saw through the gap in the curtains and saw a middle-aged man in a gorgeous ink-colored robe standing at the gate of Qianluo Palace with his hands behind his back.
His long, shiny black hair was carefully combed and neatly tied on top of his head, and was firmly fixed by an exquisite hair crown inlaid with countless sparkling gems.
Looking at his face again, although he has entered middle age, he still maintains a handsome and resolute outline.
His high nose bridge, deep eyes and tightly pursed lips all demonstrate his determination and courage.
However, his eyes sometimes revealed a shrewdness and sophistication, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
He looks 50% similar to Mu Lingyu, and it is obvious that he is the famous master of Qianluo Palace - Mu Gengli.
At this moment, behind Mu Gengli, a group of young disciples and several respected elders were standing in an orderly manner.
They all had solemn expressions, full of awe for the palace master, and were quietly waiting for the saint to return.
Mu Gengli watched the carriage door open gently, and a graceful figure walked down from the carriage.
She was Su Chenyin. She was wearing a lavender long dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind. She looked as beautiful as a fairy descending from heaven.
The moment Mu Gengli's gaze met Su Chenyin, a barely perceptible glimmer of greed flashed across his eyes.
But this trace of greed only flashed by, so fast that it was almost impossible to capture its existence.
Then, he quickly restrained his expression and put on a friendly smile.
Mu Gengli strode forward with a smile on his face, patted Mu Lingyu on the shoulder, and said with concern:
"Ling'er, you're finally back! You've been traveling so long, thank you for your hard work."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingyu just nodded slightly to respond to his father's concern.
Then, he raised his right hand very respectfully, pointed at Su Chenyin beside him, and introduced her to Mu Gengli:
"Father, this girl is the true saint of our Qianluo Palace. Her name is Su Chenyin."
When Mu Gengli heard this, his eyes were like a falcon that had spotted its prey, and instantly locked onto Su Chenyin.
The moment he saw Su Chenyin's face, a hint of surprise flashed involuntarily in his eyes.
But soon, he came back to his senses and quickly praised:
"Oh my, I've heard that the Saint of our Qianluo Palace is not only elegant and extraordinary, but also has a beauty that is so stunning that it can overwhelm the whole country and shame the moon and flowers!"
"After seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved! It is a great honor for our Qianluo Palace to have such an outstanding saint lady in charge!"
Mu Gengli's face was filled with a smile that seemed enthusiastic but was actually false, but his eyes were not restrained at all as he looked Su Chenyin up and down unscrupulously.
Being stared at in such a way, Su Chenyin felt a wave of nausea rising in her heart.
So even though she was extremely disgusted inside, she still maintained a perfect smile on her face, looking neither impolite nor overly intimate.
She said softly in an extremely polite and graceful manner:
"Palace Master, you are too polite. This Saint Girl has just arrived in your precious land and is unfamiliar with the place. I will have to rely on your advice and care in the future."
Hearing this, Mu Gengli immediately broke into smiles, and his face, which was already full of false smiles, now smiled as brightly as a blooming chrysanthemum.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course! Of course! The Saint's visit to our Qianluo Palace is simply the supreme blessing bestowed upon our palace by the heavens. It is a great honor for our Qianluo Palace to welcome the Saint's return!"
At this time, the elders of Qianluo Palace standing behind Mu Gengli all cast their burning gazes towards Su Chenyin.
They all had smiles on their faces, but those smiles seemed particularly stiff, as if they were pasted on forcibly.
If you observe carefully, you will find that deep in the eyes of these people, there is an undisguised gleam of greed and an almost insane flame of desire.
At the same time, many disciples in Qianluo Palace were secretly watching Su Chenyin.
Their eyes had different expressions, some were full of curiosity, and seemed to be full of desire to explore this legendary saint.
Some showed deep awe, as if the person in front of them was a high and mighty god who could not be desecrated.
There is still a small number of people who have the flame of jealousy hidden in their hearts, and a hint of resentment flashes from time to time.
From time to time, faint whispers could be heard among the crowd.
"Look, this is the saint that our Qianluo Palace has been searching for for a full ten thousand years."
"She is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, stunningly beautiful. I just don't know what extraordinary ability she has that is worth the whole palace mobilizing so many troops to find her."
"That's right. She's so beautiful, but I wonder what extraordinary abilities she has."
"That's right. What kind of background does this Saint have? Why did she suddenly become the Saint of Qianluo Palace? It's really puzzling."
"Well, I seem to have heard that this girl is extremely gifted. As to whether it is true or not, that is hard to say."
"Yeah, I heard that too. Don't be just a pretty face."
At this moment, a very discordant cold snort suddenly came from the originally noisy crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a woman in blue clothes yelling with her eyebrows raised:
"Hmph, even if she's pretty, so what? Maybe she's just a pretty face with no real ability."
This woman with sharp words was none other than Wang Yousu, the jewel in the crown of the highly respected Grand Elder of Qianluo Palace.
At this moment, she stood steadily among the crowd, looking at the highly-watched Su Chenyin with a face full of jealousy, her eyes revealing undisguised disdain and contempt.
She bit her lips so hard that they turned slightly white.
And her eyes revealed a strong dissatisfaction and deep resentment that was burning like a raging fire.
In Wang Yousu's opinion, apart from that decent face, Su Chenyin in front of him might not have any real talent at all.
She is not worthy of the title of Saint at all!
"I think a pretty face like her definitely doesn't have any real skills!"
"Perhaps, it was through some low-brow, shady and despicable means that she had the opportunity to climb to the position of Saint."
Wang Yousu's words filled with jealousy were once again clearly heard by everyone standing behind Mu Gengli.
