"Don't cry, or I'll grab Mo Beichen and leave right now," Yun Qingluo added.

Mu Zhi was speechless for a moment after Yun Qingluo's words, not knowing how to respond.

However, she could also tell that he was a straightforward person who spoke his mind.

She immediately agreed, "I didn't cry, I was just too excited. It's the best thing that you all came back safely."

Xuan Ming exchanged a few pleasantries with Mo Beichen, then noticed that the two of them were holding hands and seemed to still be talking.

Xuanming walked over and said gently, "Let's go into the palace first. We can talk about it there."

Mo Beichen calmly took Yun Qingluo's hand.

Xuanming extended an invitation, "The carriage is ready, let's go straight to the palace." He then pointed to a royal carriage not far away.

Yun Qingluo was surprised. There was only one carriage. Was Xuanming going to share one with them?

Xuan Ming had already led Mu Zhi toward the carriage. When the two were about to get into the carriage, they found that Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo were still standing there.

Mu Zhi urged, "Come over here quickly."

Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo then walked over and boarded the carriage behind them.

The surrounding crowd was taken aback.

"Why is our Highness treating King Sumeru and Queen so specially? He even rides in the same carriage with them."

"You don't know this, but I've heard about it. Thanks to the help of King Sumeru and Queen, many people would have died during the Minjiang epidemic. They helped us a lot, and our prince is naturally grateful for their kindness."

"Isn't it said that all the continents want to attack the Sumeru Continent?"

"That's the idea of ​​other continents. Our First Continent has never had such an idea. Moreover, now that the Sumeru Continent has our support, other continents have to think twice."

"Yes, the people of Sumeru Continent are our friends. If any other continent dares to attack Sumeru Continent, they'll have to ask us first if we agree."

After Xuanming left, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

People from other continents were also in the crowd, and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing the interaction between Xuan Ming and Mo Beichen.

Watching Xuanming's carriage disappear at the end of the road, he immediately turned around and left silently to report back.

After entering the palace, Xuanming first had Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo take a bath and wash up.

"There is a separate hall in the back, which is used specifically for entertaining guests, but no one has used it for the past few years. It has been cleaned up and hot water has been prepared. You can go and wash up and take a bath first. We have also sent someone to Luochenxuan to get your change of clothes. You can go now." After getting off the carriage, Xuanming had someone lead them to the separate hall.

Mo Beichen nodded, and then left with Yun Qingluo, Baiyi, and Baishang, following a palace servant.

Shadow followed Xuanming all the way to the Imperial Study.

The shadow told Xuanming everything that had happened along the way in great detail. Xuanming nodded after listening, "So that's how it is."

“No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw Mo Beichen. He actually had a trace of the island guardian’s immortal power. I had met the island guardian many years ago. I asked him to send the immortal power to the farthest place. I thought I would never meet him in this lifetime. I never expected to meet him in this way.” Xuan Ming recalled the events of his childhood and felt a little emotional.

Xuanming did not avoid talking to Yingzi.

Xuanming knew that Muzhi was very worried about Yun Qingluo's situation, so Muzhi listened to the report from the side.

Mu Zhi asked with some confusion, "Didn't Elder Xuan come out with us?"

Mu Zhi felt a mixture of gratitude and curiosity towards the person who was so determined to save Xuan Ming.

Shadow shook his head, "Your Majesty, Elder Xuan refused to come back with us, saying he wants to start cultivating the Pure Heart Path again."

A voice sounded outside the door, and Yingzhu respectfully relayed the message, "Your Majesty, King Sumeru and Queen have arrived."

When Yingzhu was delivering the message, she secretly glanced at Yingzi and couldn't contain her excitement. It was wonderful that Yingzun was back.

Xuanming nodded slightly. "Yes, let them in. Shadow, you must be tired. Go and rest."

The shadow bowed and then withdrew from the hall.

Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo waited outside the hall. When they saw Yingzi come out, Yun Qingluo asked, "You told him everything, right?"

Shadow nodded. "I've already reported everything to the Emperor."

Yun Qingluo chuckled, "That's good." Otherwise, they would have to tell the story again.

All she wants to do right now is sleep.

Mo Beichen turned his head to look at Yun Qingluo and said softly, "Go back and rest. I'll take care of things here."

Yun Qinglu shook her head, "No, I have to stay with you. I don't want you to watch other couples showing affection. Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to envy other couples."

Mo Bei chuckled. Since the last time, she had become more and more relaxed around him, and he genuinely liked that.

After the two entered, Yun Qingluo was hesitating whether she should give a slight bow when Mo Beichen pulled her to sit on a chair next to him and handed her a cup of hot tea.

"Drink some hot water to soothe your throat," Mo Beichen said softly.

Yun Qingluo took the teacup and took two sips. Mo Beichen ignored the cup in front of him and drank from the cup Yun Qingluo had used.

Seeing this, Mu Zhi glanced at Xuan Ming, who felt somewhat puzzled.

Mo Beichen spoke first, asking, "What are your plans next?"

Seeing this, Xuanming withdrew his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Now that the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent are attacking the Holy Qiong Continent together, they are all for their own benefit. I plan to send troops to help the Holy Qiong Continent. As for the Void Continent, I did not realize that they had such ambitions before, but now that I have, we cannot let them go unchecked. Why not just destroy them and bring them under the control of the Xuancang Continent?"

Mo Beichen glanced at Xuan Ming in surprise. He hadn't realized he had this side to him. He had always thought Xuan Ming was a peace advocate, but his methods showed a decisive, all-or-nothing approach.

Mo Beichen remained silent for a while, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Xuan Ming saw through his thoughts and said, "The ruler of the Junlin Continent wrote me a letter saying that Mei Ling impersonated a member of the Shengqiong family and went to the Ghost Continent to provoke trouble. Subsequently, the Void Continent came to us wanting to join forces to attack the Shengqiong Continent, so the Ghost Continent agreed."

When Xuanming saw the letter, he was still somewhat dazed. He hadn't expected that the Ghost Continent's reason for launching a war would be so hasty and reckless.

Mo Beichen spoke in a deep voice, "The Ghost Continent has probably been harboring wolfish ambitions for a long time, and the provocation is just a pretext. After all, once the matter of the Enchantress came out, all the continents knew what was going on, how could they not know?"

Xuanming agreed with this idea, "That's what I think too, so I'm also struggling with how to deal with the Ghost Continent. However, the ruler of the Junlin Continent said that they support all decisions made by the Xuancang Continent."

Mo Beichen was somewhat surprised by this. He raised an eyebrow, not expecting that the ruler of the Junlin Continent would have such a high level of approval for Xuan Ming.
