Xuanming received Sheng Chuyi.

As soon as Sheng Chuyi entered, he apologized profusely, saying, "I'm sorry, it was our negligence that put them in danger. I'm truly sorry."

Seeing his sincerity, Xuanming's remaining anger subsided considerably.

Xuanming gestured for Sheng Chuyi to sit down, then asked seriously, "What exactly are you thinking about the Qiong family? They still have Meiling in their hands. I absolutely cannot tolerate people with such ulterior motives continuing to live in this world."

After a moment of contemplation, Sheng Chuyi replied firmly, "Your Highness need not worry. I know what I'm doing and will handle this matter properly. Please rest assured."

Xuanming nodded slightly in agreement upon hearing this.

Then, he suddenly changed the subject, saying, "From now on, call me Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuyi was stunned, not understanding why the title he had used for ten years was suddenly changing.

But he quickly came to his senses and obediently replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xuanming nodded in satisfaction and added, "Remember, once you get back, immediately tell your father everything and let him know the seriousness of this matter. This time, you must not be soft-hearted again; you must take action and completely resolve this problem."

Sheng Chuyi respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will report the truth to my father as soon as I return. This time, we will not show any mercy."

Xuanming sighed, "If Meiling were in your family's hands, I wouldn't be so worried, but the Qiong family harbors ill intentions and treats the lives of ordinary people as a joke. This is why I am determined not to allow them to continue to exist."

He changed the subject and continued, "Oh, right, there's something else I need to remind you of. Meiling's identity has been exposed, and she may be from the Qiong family on your continent. Other continents will be somewhat hostile towards you, so you should be prepared."

Sheng Chuyi was taken aback and quickly stood up. "Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. It seems I will have to return ahead of schedule. Please understand, Your Majesty."

Xuanming knew this matter was quite serious, so he gave him a few more instructions and then let him go.

"Brother, why are we leaving early? I haven't finished exploring the streets of Beijing yet," Sheng Chuhan asked, puzzled.

At this moment, the two were already sitting in the carriage on their return journey, heading straight out of the city.

Saint Chu Yi said in a deep voice, "The Qiong family actually has a spirit, and it was disguised as the Queen of Sumeru and caused trouble at the city gate. It has already been exposed by the people of Sumeru. Sumeru now holds a grudge against our Saint Qiong Continent. Other continents also know that the Qiong family has a spirit, so they probably won't let it go. We need to go back and tell Father Emperor in advance so that we can make preparations as soon as possible."

Sheng Chuhan was surprised, "Wasn't the Enchantress killed a long time ago? How can there still be an Enchantress? Could there be a mistake?"

Sheng Chuyi shook his head. "I don't know about that. After the Meizu were wiped out, things calmed down on all the continents, and I didn't bother to inquire about it, thinking it was none of our business anyway."

He had only heard that several continents had gone to destroy the Demon Clan, but the First Continent, the Holy Family of the Second Continent, and the Junlin Continent had not participated. He was unaware of the other details.

Sheng Chuhan complained, "This Qiong family is really troublesome, so annoying, like a ghost that won't leave. Does they think everyone loves imperial power as much as they do? If they hadn't caused so much suffering to the people, we wouldn't want to clean up this mess."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense," Sheng Chuyi said softly.

Sheng Chuhan lowered her voice, but she was still somewhat unconvinced. "What I said was the truth. If we were ordinary people, you and Father would both be very capable. We could make a living and be a happy family. What's so good about being an emperor? Father is always busy, and you are busy too. Even though we are both in the palace, it's hard to even see each other."

Sheng Chuyi chuckled, "Alright, alright, you're getting more and more absurd. I know you haven't had enough fun yet. I promise you, let's make a deal. After the Qiong family's affairs are settled and the continents are at peace, I'll take you out to play so that Father can continue to manage state affairs."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuhan's eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"

Then, with some distrust, she asked, "Would Father Emperor allow you to leave the palace?"

"When has your brother ever failed to keep a promise to you?" Sheng Chuyi patted Sheng Chuhan's head, which was met with Sheng Chuhan's objection.

"Hey, stop, stop, don't touch my hair. It's such a nice new hairstyle." Sheng Chuhan said reluctantly.

"You..." He was interrupted by the sound of swords clashing outside before he could finish speaking.

Sheng Chuyi's face turned cold. They had only just left the capital, and some people were already getting impatient. They were really in a hurry.

The carriage stopped, but the horses were not startled.

Sheng Chuhan touched her chest, still shaken, and said, "Fortunately, Father Emperor had the foresight. These four horses are warhorses, used to fighting and killing. If they were ordinary horses, I would have been thrown off long ago."

Sheng Chuyi sat in the carriage with a cold face and issued the order, "Just leave one alive for questioning."

Sheng Chuyi didn't even lift the carriage curtain. Seeing her brother's cold face, Sheng Chuhan sat obediently without looking out of curiosity.

She remembered her father saying that no matter what happened, as the eldest princess, she represented the dignity of the Holy Empire and must never show weakness.

However, Sheng Chuyi noticed his younger sister's condition out of the corner of his eye.

Although she tried to appear calm, her hands, hidden under her sleeves, were visibly trembling.

His expression gradually softened.
