"This Master Miaoyuan claims to be a princess of some dynasty. Could this so-called cousin really be a member of the Cangyun Empire's royal family?"

The more Lu Chen looked at it, the more it resembled the description, and a hint of suspicion arose in his heart.

He had heard that back then, Master Miaoyuan and Nie Bufan had secretly pledged their lives to each other and even did something outrageous, resulting in her getting pregnant.

At that time, Master Miaoyuan was unaware that Nie Bufan actually had a family back in Qinglong City.

Later, the matter was finally exposed.

Nie Bufan chose to return to Qinglong City, abandoning Miaoyuan Zhenren.

Because of her unmarried pregnancy, Master Miaoyuan became a disgrace to the Cangyun Empire, and therefore, the royal family did not accept her.

Left with no other choice, Master Miaoyuan had to become a nun and has been cultivating in seclusion at Baiyun Temple ever since, far removed from the secular world.

However, what puzzled Lu Chen was that since she chose to live in seclusion, why didn't she find a place far away from the capital? The world is so big, where can't she go?

Why did they still stay near the capital?

Lu Chen had always been very suspicious.

Now, there is finally a glimmer of hope.

"This Master Miaoyuan, I'm afraid his reclusion is just a pretense; he probably still wants to return to the royal family. Otherwise, why would he be secretly associating with members of the royal family?"

Of course, they share the same surname, so there's nothing wrong with them interacting openly.

However, Lu Chen did not have a good impression of this Master Miaoyuan, so he couldn't help but be more cautious.

"The assassins from the Black-Clad Tower probably wouldn't have expected me to be hiding in the White Cloud Temple, would they?"

Lu Chen waited for several days, but no one from the Black Clothes Tower arrived. He had already seen that noble-looking young man several times.

This day.

The young man is here again.

Nie Qing was with him.

“Cousin, I will not agree to this marriage. I was already engaged in Qinglong City, so you should give up this idea!”

Nie Qing's sudden remark startled Lu Chen.

"marriage?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, this Miaoyuan Zhenren is trying to sow discord in him again. She actually wants to marry Nie Qing to this cousin, who is also a descendant of her own family.

Cousins...

"Pooh!"

Lu Chen was furious. This Master Miaoyuan was truly inhuman.

Fortunately, Nie Qing's reaction satisfied Lu Chen. Her attitude was very firm, and she also disliked this cousin very much.

Just now, if Nie Qing had hesitated even for a moment, Lu Chen would have definitely stepped forward and killed this so-called cousin, then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Fortunately, Nie Qing did not disappoint him.

"Not marrying?"

The cousin raised an eyebrow, suddenly took out something, and showed it to Nie Qing, saying, "I'm afraid this is no longer up to you or me, cousin. You got engaged in Qinglong City, but who knows if it's true? And even if it is, so what?"

"Your aunt has pleaded with the Emperor, and the Emperor has agreed and bestowed the marriage upon you. Do you intend to disobey the imperial decree?"

Nie Qing's expression changed upon hearing this.

She stared at her cousin in disbelief, but the image that came to mind was Lu Chen's face.

She felt she had been deceived.

This marriage was actually arranged by her own mother, who personally begged the current emperor of the Cangyun Empire. She felt that she had been sold out by her mother, the Immortal Miaoyuan.

"Impossible! Ji Wuyou, you can't fool me!"

Nie Qing's face was full of anger.

Ji Wuyou is this cousin, the seventeenth prince of the Cangyun Empire.

"The marriage certificate has already been bestowed; how could it be fake?"

Ji Wuyou also made up his mind at this moment. To be honest, he might not have liked this cousin that much.

As a prince, he was never short of beautiful women.

Moreover, she is a woman from Qinglong City with a questionable background; she is simply not good enough for him, the dignified seventeenth prince.

Moreover, he looked down on it.

However, he learned from Master Miaoyuan that Nie Qing was actually a rare Heavenly Spirit Body, a secret that greatly startled him.

Celestial Spirit Body.

What others didn't know, as a prince, after consulting a large amount of information and documents, he learned that cultivating with a celestial spirit body actually had immense benefits, greatly helping to improve one's soul cultivation.

Currently, the seventeenth prince's cultivation level has stagnated at the ninth level of the star system. Although there are a large number of elixirs and medicines in the palace, the improvement of his soul realm cannot be achieved by these elixirs.

Moreover, it represents a breakthrough across a vast realm.

This can only be achieved through one's own sudden realization.

However, with the Celestial Spirit Body, this became a solution.

As long as one cultivates both the Heavenly Spirit Body and the Spiritual Body, there is a chance to directly improve one's soul realm.

"We must get Nie Qing!"

The seventeenth prince then came to Baiyun Temple every day. At first, he just wanted to slowly win Nie Qing's favor. If he could win Nie Qing's favor naturally, that would be the best outcome.

But he later discovered that Nie Qing had someone else in her heart.

Moreover, it's quite extraordinary.

Having no other option, he could only turn to Master Miaoyuan for help.

After some secret planning, the two reached a deal.

If the Seventeenth Prince can help Miaoyuan regain her status as an Imperial Princess, she will help him marry Nie Qing.

To avoid any unforeseen complications or the discovery of Nie Qingtian's spiritual body, they promptly petitioned the Emperor to grant them a marriage.

The seventeenth prince only said that he had taken a liking to Nie Qing and would not marry anyone else.
