When Bai Tuantuan left the space, it was already dark.

Seeing Chen Yijun and Chen Xiaoran's dark faces, Bai Zeyi couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will be fine, don't worry."

“You can’t say that,” Chen Yijun said in a deep voice. “A Li is very capable, but the sea is dangerous, and I’m worried about him.”

“Indeed, what if something happens…” Chen Xiaoran frowned deeply. “No, we have to go and check.”

After speaking with Ruotang, Bai Tuantuan looked at Chen Xiaoran and said, "Uncle, with the iron pot here, there won't be any accidents. Besides, Aunt and the others are on the boat I modified, which can withstand risks."

Yuan Chenchen sighed helplessly, "You guys, if you want to go find your wives, just say so. Why make up excuses? It's not something shameful. Alright, go to sleep."

After everyone left, Feng Yue went to Bai Tuantuan's courtyard: "Tuantuan, your grandmother has something to ask you."

"Grandma, tell me," Bai Tuantuan said obediently, sitting down next to Feng Yue. "What happened?"

"Some of my grandmother's friends don't want to wander the world anymore. Could they come and stay on the island?"

"Of course!" Bai Tuantuan laughed. "We just happen to be recruiting guards! They're skilled in martial arts, that's perfect!"

Feng Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you agree."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan said in a serious tone, "Grandmother, how can you say that? This island was built by Grandmother herself. Grandmother can send whoever she wants to come!"

Feng Yue felt a surge of warmth and comforted Bai Tuantuan, saying, "That's true, but we don't understand matters of the court, so we can only ask Tuantuan for help... Your maternal grandfather initially refused, saying he didn't want to trouble you, but I saw how pitiful they are, still wandering the martial world at their age, without a place to settle down, it's truly..."

"I understand, Grandma. Do whatever you want! Tuantuan will be your support!"

Feng Yue beamed with joy, chatted with Bai Tuantuan for a few minutes, and then left.

On the other side, Tie Guo led Chen Zhixiu and the other two to a small grove in the town and kept leading them eastward.

"This is it."

"This is the intersection of the underworld and the human world." The iron pot looked at the three of them and said slowly, "Every place has a passage between the human world and the underworld. Just go east until you see a completely dark road ahead and can't see the way. That's when you've found it."

"But don't do it yourself. If you encounter wandering ghosts or offend the Black and White Impermanence, it will be harmful to you."

"However, you have a wisp of vital energy on you, so most ghosts don't dare to approach you."

Tie Guo explained, "I know you want to help Tuan Tuan, but she has to overcome her own tribulation."

With a slight wave of his hand, the man holding the iron pot quickly created a passage: "Look, this is the passage to the underworld."

Nan Nian and the other two exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

Chen Zhixiu remained silent for a long time before saying, "These are all things we've never encountered before. Is there no other way to help her?"

"Yes." The iron pot looked at the three of them, his eyes full of seriousness. "Protect yourselves and don't distract her."

“Ah Li knows martial arts, so there’s no need for Tuan Tuan to worry about him. But Xiu’er and I don’t know anything…”

Nan Nian frowned.

“Then you can have people protect you.” Iron Pot laughed. “Money, you need lots and lots of money.”

Chen Zhixiu and Nan Nian exchanged a glance: "Understood."

"Furthermore, members of the royal family carry dragon energy to varying degrees, so it's good to have more contact with them. Kind-hearted people carry the light of merit, so it's good to have more contact with them as well. If you do more good deeds, it will also be a form of protection for yourselves."

The three of them looked as if they had just realized something.

"The reason I brought you out this time is to find people with the light of merit." The iron pot closed the passage and led them back. "People with the light of merit are not bad people, so we can bring them onto the island. If everyone on the island has the light of merit in the future, the yin energy will not dare to approach!"

Upon hearing this, the three nodded quickly.

Although the town is small, it has everything you need, and it's lively even at night.

Looking around slowly, he noticed that the people in this small town didn't have any bad intentions. More importantly, the town was mostly populated by elderly people, women, and children.

The group found a restaurant and sat down. After wandering around for a while, Nan Nian came back and said, "I found out that all the men here have gone out to find work to support their families, leaving only the elderly, children, and women behind."

"I heard that this town has to pay a lot of taxes every year, which is impossible to pay by farming alone, so the men have to go out to earn money to support their families."

“We can take this town and have Tuantuan talk to the Emperor about it.” After taking a sip of tea, Tieguo frowned and reached out to stop Chen Zhixiu, who wanted to drink tea. “Don’t drink.”

Chen Zhixiu looked at the iron pot with a puzzled expression.

A serious expression appeared on Tie Guo's face, and he said in a low voice, "Don't speak, come with me."

Chen Zhixiu and the other two quickly stood up and followed the iron pot outside.

As soon as the group left, several other figures followed.

Iron Pot narrowed his eyes, and a burst of energy shot out from his fingers, directly carrying several people onto the boat.

"Nian'er, what's wrong?" Rong Manli was shocked and asked quickly when she saw Nan Nian's pale face.

Chen Zhixiu looked at Nan Nian anxiously: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"

Nan Nian swallowed hard, too weak to utter a single word.

"Are those people here to see you?" Iron Pot suddenly asked.

Nan Nian looked up, her face full of panic.

"Don't be afraid, I've shaken them off, we're safe now."

Iron Pot looked at Nan Nian with a puzzled expression: "You should rest first, we'll talk about it when we get to the island."

Nan Nian nodded weakly, leaning against Rong Manli, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Soon, the group arrived at the island.

As soon as they got off the island, they saw Chen Xiaoran and Chen Yijun. Just as Chen Xiaoran was about to say something, Nan Nian rushed over.

"Nian'er?"

"They're here...they've come looking for me..." The voice trembled slightly with nervousness.

Chen Xiaoran's expression turned serious, and he immediately picked Nan Nian up in his arms: "Let's go!"

Chen Yijun looked at Rong Manli with concern on his face: "What happened? Did something happen outside?"

"What is Nan Nian's identity?" Tie Guo looked at everyone. "Do you know?"

Chen Yijun paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Could it be that those people have caught up with us?"

Rong Manli's heart sank suddenly: "I'll go take a look."

"What is your identity?"

Chen Yijun sighed: "My sister-in-law is Princess Ni Yiguo."

Nan Nian's unusual behavior couldn't be hidden from Bai Tuantuan, and Ruotang quickly found out what was going on.

"Princess Ni Yiguo?" Bai Tuantuan was astonished. "I remember reading in history books that the men of Ni Yiguo were utterly shameless, and that the king of Ni Yiguo even gave his princess to those men as playthings in order to win over his court officials..."

Bai Tuantuan's face turned pale: "That aunt..."

When Bai Tuantuan rushed into Chen Xiaoran's courtyard, she saw Nan Nian rushing out with a knife in hand, her eyes bloodshot and her face contorted with rage: "I'll kill them!"
