Jing Le has already sent the demon puppet to her courtyard to find the white tiger; she can handle everything else.

Seeing that the eldest prince seemed to want to leave, the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor stopped talking nonsense.

He took the wine jug and quietly dropped a black pill into it.

Then she poured wine for the eldest prince.

"I had a very pleasant conversation with King Xuan today, but I forgot that King Xuan will also be visiting the Southern Kingdom tomorrow."

The Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor offered a wine cup to the Crown Prince, then raised one for himself, and the two clinked glasses.

Just as the eldest prince was about to pick up the cup and drink, Jing Le stopped him.

"Big brother."

"Brother, don't actually drink it! It's spiked with something. If you drink it, it'll just make it easier for him to drain you dry."

The contents of the wine were specially prepared by the Imperial Advisor for the Jing family; they were specifically designed to draw out dragon energy.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince broke out in a cold sweat.

He secretly berated himself for not learning from his mistakes.

Even though he could clearly tell from Jing Le's inner thoughts that the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor was problematic and dangerous, he was still not vigilant and almost fell into a trap.

Thinking of this, he immediately put down his wine glass, went to Jing Le's side, and picked her up.

He said softly, "What's wrong, Lele? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Jing Le's lips twitched. She just wanted to stop you from going to your death, not because she was really greedy.

But never mind, if there's something good to eat, then I'll have some.

"Let's go find Third Brother and the others; they have good food there."

Just as they were about to walk towards the table where the Third Prince and his group were sitting, the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor came over again, carrying a wine jug.

"This must be Princess Anle. It's true that seeing her in person is worse than hearing about her. I, Wu, am very pleased to greet you."

The Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor bowed gracefully, showing no resentment whatsoever for the Crown Prince having spoiled his mood.

At this moment, she smiled at Jing Le with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

My eyes were practically glued to Jing Le.

No one knew how excited the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor was at that moment.

He only now realized that Jing Le actually possessed such great fortune, and even dragon energy.

It was no less than that of Emperor Jing.

Because Jing Le's luck and other qualities were well-concealed, no one noticed them when they first met her.

Because she was by Emperor Jing's side, she always thought that the fortune and dragon energy belonged to Emperor Jing.

Now that they are close by and Emperor Jing is not present, it is natural that he could sense it.

Jing Le frowned as she looked at the undisguised joy in the eyes of the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor.

Is he blind? Why is he looking at me like this? When did I become so popular?

Jing Le thought about it again and realized that what the Southern Kingdom's national advisor cared about most now was the dragon energy on the Jing family members.

Could it be that I possess the same thing that makes him look so hungry?

Jingle looked at her other older sisters and brothers.

The dragon's aura was clearly concentrated on the princes, but not on the princesses.

She probably didn't have it in the secret passage either.

However, the unusual behavior of the imperial advisor also indicates that Jing Le also possesses the aura of a dragon.

There was nothing she could do; Jing Le was the only one who couldn't see her own destiny.

"I've seen you before. You are the Grand Preceptor of the Southern Kingdom. But why are you stopping us?"

Jing Le appears innocent and naive; no one could tell that she was actually an adult.

"I, Wu, would like to learn about the customs of the Great Yong Dynasty from you princes..."

The Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor simply wanted to follow them, and perhaps even more so, wanted to give them the wine in his hand.

Judging from their attitude, you can tell that there's no way to get rid of them no matter what you say.

This imperial advisor is really shameless.

Upon hearing this, the princes agreed that it was indeed true.

They were all so welcoming, yet he still stubbornly followed them around.

No one would believe he had no ulterior motives.

Regardless, the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor stuck with them.

"Fine, I'll follow you then. It's good that way. I hadn't figured out how to deal with you before, but now I know what to do."

After Jing Le finished speaking, she started searching in the system store.

Finally, they found a Soul-Locking Bead in a corner.

As the name suggests, it means to lock a person's soul inside.

Such things are quite common in the cultivation world, but not in the Jingyue Space.

There were no materials available for refining, so I hadn't expected the system shop to have them.

I was just trying my luck, and to my surprise, I actually found it.

After spending several hundred merit points, the Soul-Locking Pearl quietly ended up in Jing Le's hands.

After the princes learned that Jing Le had a way to deal with the Imperial Preceptor, they were no longer afraid.

I just pulled him along to drink and chat.

Of course, they were drinking the normal alcoholic beverages on their table.

As time went on, the demon puppet still hadn't given any feedback, and the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor began to suspect something was amiss.

Thinking of the expert who had been hiding beside Emperor Jing, he frowned.

Knowing they couldn't delay any longer, and after looking at Jing Le and the others, they immediately took action.

Several streams of demonic energy split off and swam along the floor toward Jing Le and the others.

Jing Le had been waiting for the Imperial Advisor to make a move, and seeing this scene, he knew it was time to act.

The moment the demonic energy approached them, the Southern Kingdom's Grand Master had already planned to kill them outright, forcibly extracting the luck and dragon energy from Jing Le and the others.

Naturally, there were no more concerns.

Since they refused to drink what was prepared for them, there was no need to spare their lives.

Seeing that success was imminent, the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor curled a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, the smile lasted only three seconds.

Because his demonic energy was blocked by something.

He stubbornly unleashed all his demonic energy, but it remained unmoved.
