Emperor Yanwu noticed that Eunuch Xi was peeking at him, but he wasn't angry. He cracked open a melon seed and then began to talk about the plot with great interest.

"This legitimate daughter is an interesting and wonderful person. She was weak and easily bullied for several years, but suddenly she became tough and left people speechless. She also has a fiery temper. If she can take action, she will never talk back. She is so straightforward."

Eunuch Xi wanted to facepalm. “Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler.”

I'm not some old man from the streets, so I don't know what kind of bastards these are, and what kind of nonsense they spout.

That's incredibly rude.

Emperor Yan ignored him, continuing to crack melon seeds and read storybooks, his eyes crinkling with laughter, looking like a cute little old man.

Eunuch Xi sighed, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried about His Highness?"

"I'm worried." Emperor Yanwu turned a page, squinting as he read. "I can't sleep or eat, so I'm reading a storybook to calm my nerves."

Eunuch Xi said in a deep voice, "His Highness has been missing for seven days, and Nie You is also currently missing."

Emperor Yanwu didn't even raise his head. "My son has legs. He will come back on his own."

Eunuch Xi choked for a moment, then changed the subject to something more important: "The eldest prince is now holding the city lord's decree and has moved into the city lord's mansion in Moyang City. He will probably officially become the new city lord in three days."

Emperor Yanwu raised his head, "My son, have you been pestering that Mo Yunzhao lately?"

Grandpa Xi: "Yes."

For Emperor Yanwu, only His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Ning'an were his true sons; as for the other two…

It's already difficult enough for them to admit that he is their child.

Emperor Yanwu picked up the storybook and leaned back lazily in his chair. "Little Xizi, it's been a long time since I've gone on an incognito trip."

The eunuch fainted; the Emperor had given him an extremely difficult problem.

...

Mo Yunzhao and Ling Jingyu traveled and cultivated whenever they could, in that paradise-like place.

Unaware of the passage of time.

Here, the sky is always clear and blue, and plum blossoms stretch for miles, each one blooming proudly in the snow.

The view is breathtaking.

Apart from the deer, rabbit, and monkey who led the way, all the other small animals scurried into the bushes when they saw them, peeking out with their heads out to secretly watch them.

Mo Yunzhao looked at the stone tablet at the entrance—Plum Blossom Village.

She had been to this place in her past life.

But the way she entered was different; he brought her in, saying that the demonic energy here was abundant and suitable for cultivation.

However, she did not stay long.

who is he?

I thought for a while, but still couldn't remember.

She looked up at Ling Jingyu, whose face still had rouge on it, making him look rather comical, but it couldn't hide his handsomeness.

Ling Jingyu met her gaze with his peach blossom eyes curving upwards, "Ah Zhao, do I look good?"

"Beautiful." Mo Yunzhao nodded, pursing his lips. "Your Highness, are you cultivating demonic arts?"

These past few days, she's been pretending her eyes haven't healed. He knew it from the beginning, but he was just playing along.

She didn't say it outright.

Ling Jingyu readily admitted, "Yes."

Mo Yunzhao's eyes brightened slightly. "Then do you know if there are still people cultivating demonic arts on the Crimson Sky Continent?"

Ling Jingyu nodded, "Yes, but I don't know who they are."

"and you……"

Ling Jingyu raised his peach blossom eyes and smiled arrogantly: "I am exceptionally talented and self-taught."

Mo Yunzhao was somewhat disappointed. She had been thinking of following the path of demonic cultivation to see if she could find him.

She was looking for someone she knew nothing about, only that this person existed.

Finding someone in person is really too difficult.

Once outside Plum Blossom Village, I realized it was already dark, with scattered stars and a long, warm moon.

Plum Blossom Village seems to be a different world from the outside.
