Shen Huaixu waited for a while, and when he realized Fu Yin had no intention of continuing to speak, he asked him, "Aren't you going to ask me what I want to do?"

As if he couldn't stand Shen Huaixu's questioning, Fu Yin turned his eyes to ask her: "What do you want to do?"

The smile on Shen Huaixu's face had not yet faded, and her eyes were sparkling. She hooked her finger at Fu Yin, and when he leaned closer, she leaned in and whispered a few words to him.

"What do you think?" she asked finally.

Fu Yin's eyes deepened, and his voice was a little deep in the quiet night, "Do you think Qiao Man will believe it?"

"Whether Qiao Man believes it or not is not important. What matters is that she wants to win you over." Chen Huaixu explained the crane totem to Fu Yin, and continued, "Her ambition won't let her remain the eldest princess for long. In the end, the only ones who can stop her are the He family and their allies, who firmly stand behind the young emperor. The He family believes in cranes, and if you appear at this time, she will definitely be tempted. She has been planning for two years but has failed to take that position. Your appearance can help her seize the throne without wasting a single soldier. With this premise, even if she knows you are not truly surrendering, she will stabilize you beforehand."

After saying this, Shen Huaixu paused for a moment and looked at Fu Yin, "Getting close to Qiao Man will allow you to better understand her cards. If you don't want to show your face, you can hide it. The only question is whether you want to show your wings in front of outsiders?"

If you want to make Fuyin a god, his beautiful wings are indispensable.

Fu Yin lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, "Chen Huaixu, you have considered everything very carefully, but you missed one point."

Chen Huaixu tilted his head and reviewed what he had just said word by word, not feeling that he had missed anything.

"Forget yourself." Fu Yin looked at her and said word by word, "Qiao Man must have heard the news the moment you stepped into Nanxia. I surrendered to her, and she won't leave you as a hidden danger."

At the end of his speech, his face looked a little ugly, his momentum was even more shocking, but his tone was aggrieved, "If you continue to do this without considering the consequences, I will not help you."

Shen Huaixu was speechless. He raised his hand and tugged at Fu Yin's sleeve. "I haven't finished talking yet. Why are you angry?"

She leaned over to see Fu Yin's expression, but because she was on the roof, she couldn't make any big moves. She could only say, "After all, this is someone else's territory. We don't have enough manpower. At worst, I can hide for now. When you have figured out Qiao Man's tricks, we can make a long-term plan. How about that?"

"I have a plan."

Shen Huaixu was delighted and asked, "What?"

"I won't tell you." Fu Yin said sullenly, "First, arrange for those people I brought secretly. I will go to the Nanxia Palace tomorrow night."

Seeing that he seemed to want to leave, Shen Huaixu stopped asking questions, thinking that Fu Yin would not do anything beyond her expectations.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Get some rest."

Fortunately, Fu Yin didn't sleep for a long time, otherwise he would be busy day and night, and Shen Huaixu would really feel guilty.

As she was thinking this, a hand suddenly covered her head and ruffled her hair. Before she could make any move, she heard a low "good night" and the person in front of her disappeared.

Chen Huaixu blinked blankly, then raised his hand to tidy up his long hair after he came to his senses. He muttered "childish" under his breath, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Then his figure passed over the roof and disappeared into the night.

Late at night the next day, Fu Yin came to a high tower outside the imperial city of Nanxia Kingdom as he said. The tower was dozens of meters high. The imperial palace of Nanxia Kingdom was not as large as the imperial palace of Dajin Kingdom, so one could have a panoramic view of the layout of the imperial city.

Because his white wings were too conspicuous, he put on a black cloak tonight, with his dark green eyes hidden under the veil, leaving only his angular jaw exposed.

He took out the layout map of the Nanxia Imperial City that he had just obtained from Chen Huaixu, confirmed the palace where the person he was looking for lived, then spread his wings and flew towards the target location.

Late at night, when everything was fast asleep, the palace was still brightly lit, with guards passing by from time to time.

Fu Yin stood above the eldest princess's bedroom and released his mental power until the people below were suppressed and unable to move. Then he folded his wings, flew down, and swaggered into the room.

The moment the bedroom door was opened, he heard the cold voice of the woman in the palace, "Fuyin, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Fu Yin closed the door, turned around and looked up at the neatly dressed woman, "Qiao Man, long time no see."

The woman was the eldest princess Wei Nishang. She had a cool and elegant temperament, skin as white as snow, and long eyelashes that drooped slightly, adding a touch of innocence to her. However, there was a faint cold smile at the corner of her mouth.

She was the only one in the entire palace, as if waiting for a guest. She sat upright on a high place and looked at Fu Yin for a moment. Then she stood up, walked lightly with lotus steps, and came to Fu Yin. She asked with interest, "How do you know I am Qiao Man?"

"Chen Huaixu told me."

"Chen Huaixu—" The eldest princess scoffed lightly, as if disdainful. "Do you believe everything she says? What would you do if she asked you to commit suicide?"

Fu Yin raised his eyes, still calm, "She won't."

Those three unremarkable words seemed to ignite a fire within the princess. She stared coldly at Fu Yin and spoke angrily, "Fu Yin, I won't touch you unless it's absolutely necessary. Why have you come here tonight? To kill me?"

Fu Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, you admit that you are Qiao Man?"

"I never thought I could use Wu Li to trick you two." The eldest princess curled her lips. "It wouldn't be fun to be exposed too early. I'm already very happy to be able to lure you to my territory."

"What happens after it's attracted?"

The eldest princess' lips moved slightly, and she pursed her lips just as she was about to say something. Her eyes narrowed slightly, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"It's just strange. How come Qiao Man, who made such bold statements back then, hasn't been able to replace the young emperor after two years? The iron cavalry of Southern Xia has never even set foot in the territory of the Great Jin?" Fu Yin's tone was casual, as if he was chatting, but the words he said seemed to be intended to anger the person opposite to him to death.

Qiao Man was indeed furious, and the noble temperament she had maintained all this time was shattered. She took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down. A fierce look flashed in her eyes, "If you came here just to say this, then you don't have to leave..."

"Of course, that's not the reason to talk about this." Fu Yin interrupted her, "I came here to cooperate with you."

This sentence hit the mark exactly what Qiao Man wanted, but she quickly realized, "Is it Shen Huaixu's idea again?"

Fu Yin nodded gently without any hesitation, lowered his eyes and said, "It was her idea, I just went along with it."

Qiao Man thought for a moment and asked, "You want to cooperate with me? Why?"

"I just want Chen Huaixu to stay by my side forever and not go anywhere." The moment he raised his eyes, a hint of madness and excitement flashed across Fu Yin's eyes. He looked paranoid and murmured, "She is still young. When I keep her by my side and raise her well, she won't remember those people in Dajin anymore. Then I will marry her. What do you think?"
