Chapter 141 Autumn Kingdom, Autumn Horse.
"If a person truly realizes that he has done something wrong, he will feel fear, regret, and pain, but he will never question others."
"What kind of answer are you looking for when you ask me this?"
"I'll just say a few words to comfort you and say something like, 'What happened today wasn't caused by you alone.'"
"But can these words really relieve your pain?"
Chu Luobai's voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze, without much emotion.
“The damage has already happened, and pain and sadness are inevitable, but what we need to do more is to find a way to resolve it.”
"Don't worry, your senior sister is here to support you."
"Whether you're right or wrong, your senior sister will always be on your side. The decision has been made, so don't suffer for your past self."
"He's just a cultivator from the insignificant Frostfrost Sect. What can he do to me?"
These words clearly did not intend to comfort me, nor did they offer any affirmation.
But for some reason, Qiu Lin felt much more relaxed, and her body, which had been trembling slightly from the pain, gradually calmed down.
"That's right, with the master here, what are you worried about!"
"Just beat up the people who robbed your house and throw them out!"
The gourd that suddenly appeared beside him startled Qiu Lin, and he almost fell off his sword.
Fortunately, Chu Luobai reacted quickly and helped Qiu Lin, allowing him to regain his balance.
Looking at the 'daughter' in front of him, who had shrunk considerably and was only the size of his head, Qiu Lin couldn't help but reach out and poke her.
The warm touch from his fingertips made him momentarily lost in thought.
Is it true?
"Don't move! That's very rude of you!"
Gourd put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily.
"Ah, I just wanted to see if you had a physical form. Sorry, Qiu Bai."
Looking at the angry little dumpling in front of him, Qiu Lin said somewhat awkwardly.
"My name isn't Qiu Bai! My name is Hulu!"
Chu Luobai stood in front, listening to the two bickering, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Qiu Lin was only a teenager, but even though he was a teenager, he was still just a child.
Children should act like children; why should they shoulder so many responsibilities?
Let the adults handle things that reveal the darker side of human nature.

Autumn Kingdom, Imperial City.
The candlelight in the palace burned all night, gradually dimming.
A sliver of sunlight peeked out from the horizon, and in an instant, the light streamed into the palace.
Suppress the faint glow of those candle flames.
The Grand Master placed the last chess piece on the board and slowly looked up at Qiu Jun opposite him.
"Your Majesty, it is dawn."
Qiu Jun sat lazily opposite him, a flash of red light passing through his eyes, his whole body exuding an evil aura, but he quickly withdrew it.
"It was barely dawn, and the game was still unresolved, which disappointed the Grand Preceptor."
"Compared to this game of chess, Your Majesty has more important things to do."
The Imperial Advisor chuckled, and just as he finished speaking, a eunuch hurriedly entered.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."
The eunuch knelt on the ground, seemingly trying his best to control his fear, but his body still trembled slightly.
"Prince?"
Qiu Jun looked up at the Grand Preceptor opposite him. The Grand Preceptor's expression was mysterious and unpredictable, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
"Since he's here, let him in. It's been so many years, we should take a good look at him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon receiving the order, the eunuch retreated as if granted a pardon, but dared not leave the ground.
He felt like a worm crawling on the ground, humble and terrified.
Only after leaving the main hall did the eunuch dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the Imperial Advisor arrived, His Majesty has become a stranger to us.
Not only did her appearance begin to look younger, but her aura also began to become exceptionally eerie.
Just one glance from him and I would start trembling uncontrollably.
It was a fear that rose from the depths of one's soul.
"When will this ever end?"
The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the rising sun in the distance, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
After saying that, he lowered his head again and ran towards the door.
Chu Luobai stood behind Qiu Lin, resuming her role as a maid.
She looked around curiously. The Qiu Kingdom was not a large country, and its capital city was also quite ordinary.
This palace is far inferior to that of the Tianming Dynasty, and even less than the residence of Prince Feng Xiuquan.
"Senior sister, stop looking. Our palace can't compare to the Tianming Dynasty's."
Qiu Lin seemed to have seen through Chu Luobai's thoughts and said with some helplessness.
"I'm not looking at that, but I'm thinking, you've built a palace like this, and yet someone is still eyeing you."
"Tsk, what bad luck."
Chu Luobai looked at the unremarkable building in front of her and felt a pang of sympathy.
"There's nothing we can do. In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are like grass and ants, not even having the strength to put up a fight."
Qiu Lin seemed to be thinking of something, and his voice lowered a few decibels.
Squeak—
The heavy palace gates were slowly pushed open, and the eunuch who had gone to deliver the message earlier walked out with a deathly pale face.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is waiting for you in the main hall."
As he spoke, he bowed and led the way.
Chu Luobai's gaze fell on the eunuch, whose back was soaked with cold sweat and clung tightly to his body.
Add to that his bloodless face.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Could there be evil spirits living in this tiny imperial city? How could one visit scare someone like this?"
The palace was not large, and the palace roads were also very short.
Within minutes, the eunuch led Qiu Lin and Chu Luobai to the entrance of the main hall.
The eunuch standing at the door was clearly flustered, and his breathing became somewhat unsteady.
Qiu Lin looked at it and waved his hand.
"You may leave. I will go and pay my respects to my father in person."
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, glancing into the main hall. In the end, unable to overcome his fear, he apologized and hurriedly left.
Qiu Lin stood at the door, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the main hall.
Chu Luobai followed closely behind, and the moment she stepped into the main hall, a strange feeling swept through her heart.
Then two undisguised auras rushed over.
"One is at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, and the other..."
Chu Luobai frowned deeply. The second aura was extremely strange, with a sense of uncertainty.
It's not particularly strong, but it's definitely not weak either.
"My son, you're finally back."
On a chair directly opposite the palace entrance, a young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old slowly spoke, his voice carrying a sense of vicissitude that belied his age.
Qiu Lin looked up, her pupils dilating slightly.
