Lin Jinghan knew that it was indeed inappropriate for her to break the contract, but returning to Donglin to save people was urgent, so she had to promise:

"Master, rest assured. I wear a mask every day. No one in Beijiang has ever seen my true face. You just need to find a witch with a body similar to mine to pretend to be me and go into seclusion. You will definitely be able to get away with it. When the next sacrifice is held, you can notify me in advance and I will definitely come early. I will definitely not be exposed!"

"Also, I cherish my life very much. I will definitely practice witchcraft well and never let myself be devoured by the Holy Butterfly."

The Great Wizard took out a ring and handed it to Lin Jinghan.

"Take this. Drop your blood on it and it will recognize you as its master. There's a space inside that holds everything you need to practice witchcraft. Inject your witchcraft power and it will open."

During the past few days of getting along, the Great Witch had developed a lot of affection for Lin Jinghan, and sometimes even hoped that Lin Jinghan was their true Saint. Unfortunately, despite her great talent and rapid learning of witchcraft, the blood flowing in her body was not from their Beijiang Witch Clan...

Lin Jinghan followed her instructions and dripped a drop of blood on the ring. A strange connection indeed formed between her and the ring. She looked at the ring over and over again, frowning and saying:

"But this ring is engraved with the symbol of our Beijiang Wu tribe. Will it reveal my identity if I wear it?"

The Great Wizard has always been very careful in his work. He had already thought of a solution to such a big loophole.

"I've cast an invisibility spell on it. You can hide it with your mind. Just don't take things out of the ring in front of outsiders."

Only then did Lin Jinghan feel at ease and put the ring on her hand. With a thought, the ring disappeared from their sight.

In fact, the Great Witch didn't know whether his decision to let Lin Jinghan pretend to be the Saint was right or wrong, but since he had already taken this step, he could only persevere and hope that he could find the real Saint as soon as possible. Then he could completely let go of everything in the Witch Clan and pursue his path with peace of mind.

No one, not from their witch clan, had ever been able to practice witchcraft. This was his first attempt, so naturally he was very worried and gave her all the good things he could think of.

"There is a magic weapon in the ring that can transmit messages. From now on, every day at the hour of Xu, I will use this magic weapon to communicate with you and check your daily homework.

"There are other magical weapons inside. The instructions for use are written on the jade slips. You must first familiarize yourself with their use. Not only can they help you practice, but they can also be used to save your life in times of crisis."

The Great Wizard waved his hand to hide the Holy Butterfly Mark on Lin Jinghan's forehead, but still worried, he summoned his own wizard pet and gave it to Lin Jinghan.

"Also, this is my witch pet. Take it with you. If you encounter anything you don't understand during your training, you can ask it. Its magic power is very strong, and it shouldn't be a problem for it to save your life. However, unless it is a critical moment, don't let it out, lest..."

Lin Jinghan took the great witch's pet without hesitation - a cute little thing that looked like a little black cat.

"You want to avoid exposing my identity, right? Got it! Master Wu, thank you for giving me so many good things. I will work hard to meet your requirements and become a qualified saint! Since you treat me with sincerity, I must repay you and the Beijiang Wu Clan! This is my promise to you, valid for life! I'm leaving, don't miss me too much!"

Lin Jinghan waved her hand and left without delay.

After spending these few days together, she understood that the Great Witch really treated her as a saint.

What a great witch! How could Beijiang have lost their Saint? It's really pitiful for this witch. I don't know how he has managed to unite all the Beijiang witch tribes without the Saint for over a decade, preventing them from falling apart.

He was truly admirable. From this moment on, he was her true master in her heart. It had nothing to do with the Saintess or the witch clan. They were simply master and disciple...

"Now that we're ready, let's go." Sikong Zhan, along with the disguised Lin Jinghan, Xiang Yuanqing and the secret guards, rushed to Donglin without stopping.

However, there was an accident among them, that was Gu Liyue.

Lin Jinghan originally didn't want Gu Liyue to follow them, but she was too thick-skinned to resist, and they were in a hurry and had no time to argue with her, so they had no choice but to agree to let her follow.

Five days had passed when the group returned to the capital. At this time, a full seven days had passed since the unruly princess married the emperor.

During these seven days, a lot of things happened in the capital:

The letter from Nanzhao was finally sent. Emperor Nanzhao had a very tough attitude. Not only did he not agree to the peace treaty added by Emperor Donglin, he also accused Donglin of falsely accusing his son of poisoning and forcibly marrying his most precious daughter. Using this as a reason, Emperor Nanzhao not only tore up the peace treaty, but also ordered Donglin to return his daughter, otherwise he would go to war.

"This is too much!" The emperor was so angry that he threw the letter on the spot.

"Come here, surround the posthouse and arrest all the people from Nanzhao! Take Murong Shuo and Murong Qi as hostages!"

But when the emperor's men rushed to the posthouse, Murong Shuo had already secretly left with his men, leaving only a few people there to pretend to leave. It was a perfect escape trick, and the people of Donglin were completely kept in the dark.

On the day the emperor discovered that Murong Shuo and others had left, Baili Zhe had been left out in the palace for several days. Seeing that the time was finally ripe, he calmly called the palace servants and said that he wanted to see the emperor.

Afterwards, no one knew what kind of agreement Bailizhe and the emperor reached, but the emperor did not pursue the matter of him entering the palace to steal the antidote.

Of course, the outside world speculated more that Nanzhao tore up the peace treaty, and the emperor had no time to take care of other things. He did not want to provoke Xiqi at this time, so he accepted the benefits of the Sixth Prince of Xiqi and let him go.

Baili Zhe had just left the capital the day before, and Sikong Zhan returned the day after.

The capital city is still under strict control, and the inspections at the city gates are becoming more stringent day by day. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Prince Jingnan appear at the city gate openly, they hurried to report to their superiors. In panic, they fell flat on their faces.

Sikong Zhan completely ignored the guards at the gate and walked towards the city gate with an arrogant look as usual.

Seeing this, the people all moved aside.

In this way, Sikong Zhan had a smooth journey and went straight to the Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple Minister Qiao An had received the news long ago. He sent someone to the palace to report the news and summoned the guards of the Dali Temple to wait at the gate with full alert.

Sikong Zhan rode in the lead, looking down at Qiao An like a killing god.

"Today, I will take away everyone from the Jingnan Palace. If there is one person missing from my Jingnan Palace, I will kill ten or a hundred people from your Dali Temple to pay for their lives!"
