The words "exorcism talisman" shocked the three people present.

Third Prince: I never thought ghosts really existed in this world... Sister, quickly give me a talisman to save my life.

Ninth Prince: So that scream earlier was a ghost? I thought I misheard.

Duan Feibai: Am I possessed by a ghost??

Jing Le was completely unaware of what the others were thinking. Seeing them staring at him with curiosity, he began to explain the origin of the jade flute.

"They must have people who specialize in raising ghosts, sealing them in jade flutes to control them. And the fact that someone put a triggering powder on you beforehand is probably what they used to train ghosts..."

Jing Le voiced her speculation, which shattered the worldviews of the group.

I never imagined that ghosts really existed in this world, and that people in the South were using ghosts to cause trouble. It's terrifying to think about.

This was the first time Duan Feibai had heard of it, but then he suddenly realized what it meant.

If the royal family of the Southern Kingdom knew how to exorcise ghosts...

That would explain why the royal family of Duan Kingdom fought amongst themselves and why the border generals betrayed their country.

All of this makes sense.

"Oh no, my sister is still in their hands."

After figuring it out, Duan Feibai felt even more uneasy. He had thought that he would have plenty of time to live again, but he never expected that such a big secret was hidden behind the Southern Kingdom.

Could my sister have already been taken into custody at the inn?

But he was just a child, a child with nothing. How could he possibly rescue his sister?

"Don't worry, now that I've brought you back from the South, I'll take care of everything."

[Brother Feibai, my father has sent people to rescue your sister. She should be back soon.]

Since Jing Le has promised to save the siblings, she will keep her word.

"Thank you, Princess. Duan Feibai will never forget this. My siblings and I were saved by you. From now on, we will be at your service."

Duan Feibai smiled. His heart, frozen for decades, was warmed by a three-year-old child, as if he had returned to the human world.

Her radiant smile accentuated her excessively beautiful, androgynous face, making her even more captivating.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, Fei Bai is so handsome."

Jing Le stared wide-eyed. This child's appearance was top-tier even in the cultivation world. What would he be like when he grew up? He would surely charm countless women.

I can already imagine how stunningly beautiful Duan Feibai will be when he grows up; everyone from eighty-year-old grandmothers to three-year-old children will be mesmerized...

Duan Feibai has been twitching a few times recently. He's not really only five years old; he's been an adult for a long time inside. How could he not understand the reasoning behind Jing Le's words?

However, he was also puzzled. This Princess Anle did not seem to be precocious. Instead, she was somewhat like him, or rather, like the body-stealer from his previous life.

Could it be... no matter what, this person in front of me is my savior, and she is different from that other person.

Princess Anle was very kind and would never let others discover her difference.

Jing Le was unaware that her secret identity was about to be exposed, and she was still internally ranting about it.

The Third Prince and the Ninth Prince were displeased with the way Duan Feibai looked at them. They were clearly not bad-looking either, so why didn't their sister praise them? They were unhappy.

On the other side.

Anping Inn, second floor.

At this moment, Duan Feibai's older sister, Duan Shulan, was locked in a room, while two old nannies stood outside the door, chatting idly.

"Sister Plum Blossom, why did the adults make us bring this princess of a fallen kingdom to Dayong? They won't even let us follow the main group, so we're stuck living in this wretched place."

The younger nannies complained about the older nannies.

"Don't ask too many questions about the adults' affairs, but let me give you a piece of advice: this princess of a fallen kingdom is very useful. Whether we can get in touch with the inner court of the Great Yong Dynasty depends on her. We can't let this girl get away."

The old woman, unusually, said a few more words: "Don't worry, we can rejoin the main group tonight. That person will be here to pick us up soon..."

The girl lying on the bed inside the room heard the two men's conversation clearly. She understood that after the Duan Kingdom was destroyed, she and her younger brother were left behind entirely because of this face.

Both of them inherited the beauty of the Empress. Even at a young age, Duan Feibai could already see the figure, let alone his older sister, who was only in her teens and whose appearance was even more beautiful than the Empress.

The Southern Emperor originally plotted to destroy the Duan Kingdom out of personal desire to obtain the Duan Queen.

Unexpectedly, the Queen of Duan Kingdom, unable to bear the humiliation, committed suicide. The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, who had failed in his mission, saw Princess Duan Shulan and took her and her brother back to the Southern Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, when the Queen of the Southern Kingdom learned of this, she had her subordinates arrange for the two of them to join the envoy delegation to Dayong. The head of the delegation, Qin Yuan, was the Queen's cousin.

Qin Yuan's purpose this time was not only to offer birthday wishes, but also to infiltrate the court of the Great Yong Dynasty.

They split into two groups, one leading a group of young women and the other leading a delegation of envoys to Dayong.

These young women would be secretly sent to the backyards of the courtiers of the Dayong Dynasty.

Some became concubines of ministers, some became concubines of noblemen, and some became prostitutes; in short, they were all there to gather intelligence for the Southern Kingdom.

The same applies to Duan Shulan.

"No, we have to find a way to escape, otherwise we'll never see our brother again."

Having experienced the fall of her kingdom, Duan Shulan is no longer the noble princess she once was. Now, she has only one goal: for her younger brother to grow up safely.

If her beauty could ensure her brother's safety, she would be willing to submit to someone, but that person could not be from the South.

Having made up her mind, Duan Shulan dragged her weak body out of bed and quietly moved towards the window.

All the women had been drugged, but Duan Shulan had limited tolerance to the drug and woke up early, which is why she overheard the old women's conversation.
