Han Lingxi tried hard to recall what Qin Lan was doing at this time in her previous life, but she couldn't find any useful information.

Although the original owner of this body was very clever at this time in her previous life, she was still just a little kitten with simple thoughts. She only wanted to keep her secret and didn't have the energy to care about national affairs. Moreover, Baili Lingxiang would not take the original owner out at that time. The original owner could only see Baili Lingxiang when he returned to the mansion after finishing his business.

Baili Lingxiang had absolutely no interest in discussing these political matters with a kitten.

Han Lingxi now has two choices. If she stays home from now on, she should be able to wait for the people from Nan Qin to leave peacefully, just like in her previous life. However, Han Lingxi is worried that Qin Lan, like the poisoned wet nurse, is planning a long-term conspiracy, and by the time the conspiracy breaks out, she will be powerless to stop it.

The second option was for her to accompany Baili Lingxiang to meet them, hoping to prevent them from carrying out any schemes. However, this method was too dangerous because Qin Lan was accompanied by cultivators; if she were discovered, she could be captured or killed. Doing so would greatly increase her chances of being discovered, as she was, after all, Baili Lingxiang's pet and would certainly attract a lot of attention. Moreover, the original owner's parents died in the capital of Northern Wei, and the people of Southern Qin had always wanted the Fiery Eye Cat, so they would definitely focus their investigation on the capital.

After weighing the pros and cons, Han Lingxi decided that she still needed to monitor Nan Qin's every move. She couldn't just sit and wait for death. After all, this life was different from the previous one. Han Lingxi made no attempt to hide her intelligence. Many people in the capital knew that Baili Lingxiang had a very clever cat. Nan Qin probably knew this news as well. After all, those cultivators in the previous life were brought to Northern Wei by Su Shimin after the original owner had cultivated into human form.

Having made her decision, Han Lingxi was determined to act immediately. So when Baili Lingxiang attended the welcoming banquet held in the palace to welcome the Southern Qin delegation, Han Lingxi insisted on going with him.

This time, however, Han Lingxi did not hide in Baili Lingxiang's sleeve. Instead, she was carried in Baili Lingxiang's arms and entered the palace openly. From the moment she entered the palace, Han Lingxi was extremely nervous. She was worried that she would encounter those cultivators, be captured, and be forced to leave Baili Lingxiang.

Baili Lingxiang also noticed Xi'er's nervousness in his arms and patted her back to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Baili Lingxiang's tone remained cold and hard, devoid of any emotion, but Han Lingxi relaxed after hearing it, as if she had taken a reassuring pill. Baili Lingxiang was right; she was not alone and would not be at the mercy of others.

Baili Lingxiang's power should be weaker than Qin Lan's, after all, Qin Lan is the crown prince of Southern Qin, while Baili Lingxiang is only a prince, and there is also Baili Lingjun who is fighting against him.

However, this was Northern Wei after all, and Qin Lan's power here was limited, so as long as Baili Lingxiang was there, he dared not act rashly.

Moreover, Han Lingxi's cultivation technique has already yielded considerable results, so she should be able to put up a fight.

Baili Lingxiang carried Han Lingxi all the way to Qingyuan Hall, where the banquet was being held. Along the way, they encountered countless officials' daughters who pretended to bump into each other. Some pretended to drop their handkerchiefs, while others pretended to fall and wanted Baili Lingxiang to help them up. But Baili Lingxiang ignored them all, showing no pity or tenderness whatsoever.

Seeing the women's frustrated expressions, Han Lingxi really wanted to cheer for Baili Lingxiang, but considering his wooden personality, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
