I was stunned. It took me a while to come back to my senses. "Do you think this attitude of the Gui Guan Men (Ghost Coffin Sect) is normal?"

"It's not normal!" Ling said, "I originally wanted to continue observing for a while, but I ran into Pang Gufang. That's why I handed things over to Feng Ruoxing, Wang Butcher, and the others, and rushed back to Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) myself."

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of ability does Pang Gufang have to command your Three Palaces?"

Ling replied, "It's not really a command."

"Back then, the Palace Masters of the Three Palaces received a great favor from Pang Gufang. Therefore, the successors also followed the instructions of the previous Palace Masters and listened to Pang Gufang's arrangements."

"If Pang Gufang asked us to follow the Emperor to face the Heavenly Tribulation, even if we died in battle, I wouldn't frown."

"But, asking me to imitate the Three Palaces of that time, I can't do it!"

Cang Tianji also said, "In fact, the Three Palaces of that time were also pitiful."

"They listened to Pang Gufang's arrangements to approach the Emperor, wanting to gain the Emperor's favor. In the end, none of them were truly accepted by the Emperor."

"When the Emperor left, he didn't even arrange for them to wait for his return."

"Last time, I also said that the Emperor didn't seem like an Emperor, but more like a heartless playboy, unhesitatingly abandoning three women who were deeply devoted to him, leaving so resolutely, without even turning his head to look at them."

"It's a pity, the Three Palaces are still waiting for the Emperor's return generation after generation!"

Cang Tianji said, "Actually, the Three Palaces' attitude towards the Emperor has changed several generations ago. Waiting for his return is to repay Pang Gufang. Marry him? Forget it! At least, Ling and I don't plan to live in the Cold Palace."

I wasn't concerned about the attitude of the Three Palaces, but about the origin of Nie Xiaochun: "Then, according to you, the Empress shouldn't have left publicly!"

Cang Tianji said, "I also asked about this matter."

"According to the previous Palace Master, although the Empress was granted the title, she didn't actually have a husband-and-wife relationship with the Emperor. Moreover, there seemed to be some grudges between them."

"The Emperor accepted the Three Palaces back then only to provoke the Empress, and he didn't really intend to take concubines. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Three Palaces to Pang Gufang's management."

"Who knew whether they later made it real, or if something else went wrong. In short, the Empress left in a rage. The Emperor also disappeared after arranging some things."

I looked at Nie Xiaochun, then at Cang Tianji, "Have you seen the Empress's portrait? What does she look like?"

"Hehe... men! You only care about this." Cang Tianji shook his head and said, "It is said that the Empress's appearance was peerless and captivating, but no one has ever seen her portrait."

I looked at Nie Xiaochun again, "Then I guess Nie Xiaochun isn't the Empress. Nie Xiaochun looks okay, but she's far from peerless and captivating."

As soon as I finished speaking, I was hit on the back of the head with a mineral water bottle. Fortunately, the bottle was empty, otherwise, with Nie Xiaochun's strength, it would have given me a bump.

Nie Xiaochun bared her teeth and claws and shouted, "Who said I can't be peerless and captivating? People's appearance will definitely change a bit after reincarnation, okay?"

Nie Xiaochun wasn't wrong about that. People's appearance depends on their parents' looks. Moreover, reincarnation is also a random thing. Except for the ghosts and gods of the underworld, no one can decide which family a person will be reincarnated into.

If everyone looked exactly the same as they did in their previous life after reincarnation, wouldn't that be a mess? In the past, in that feudal society, if neighbors said that someone didn't look like that family's child, it might lead to a lawsuit that could kill someone.

Therefore, a person's reincarnation can have the shadow of their previous life, but it won't be the same as their previous life.

I looked at Nie Xiaochun again, "Then how much good fortune do you have to accumulate to get a major cosmetic surgery in your reincarnation?"

"Besides, as the saying goes, beautiful women have tragic fates, and ugly people do strange things. It's a blessing to be just right."

This wasn't my saying, but what Jiu Gui (Nine Ghosts) and the others told me.

They said that if a woman is too beautiful, there will be more people thinking about getting their hands on them. They don't care if she's someone's wife, and when they really want to do something, they might even kill you along with her.

If a woman is too ugly, I guess you'll feel bad looking at her yourself.

So, when looking for a wife, it's good to find one who looks just right!

I was stunned when I heard that, and I asked, "What does 'just right' mean? Is it the kind that you can't find in a crowd?"

None of the Nine Ghosts answered my question. They stood up and ran away!

I've always suspected that those nine masters were fooling one disciple.

Now it just happened to be used on Nie Xiaochun!

Nie Xiaochun was so angry that she almost flew over from the back seat, "You said, how 'just right' do I look?"

"How can I say this?" I stroked my chin and said, "Anyway! I think you look a lot better than the old woman selling fried dough sticks at the street corner."

"That old woman is over sixty!" Qin Xin stabbed me hard.

Nie Xiaochun really flew over, carrying a whole box of unopened mineral water.

Ling and Cang Tianji grabbed Nie Xiaochun and snatched the water box, so I wasn't killed.

However, Ling gave me a guess about Nie Xiaochun.
