Before the Boundless Boat, a figure slowly appeared.

Simply standing there, he exuded an overwhelming pressure that made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

This figure was none other than the head of the Wuji Temple, one of the most powerful figures in the Imperial Land.

Bright moon.

Before Mingyue appeared, the Third Grandfather had been praying in his heart that such a powerful figure was not on the Boundless Boat.

We pray that Elder Mingrou is the one leading the team this time.

If that's the case, he will activate the secret technique of the He clan to instantly self-destruct, thus buying time for his descendants below to escape.

But the moment the bright moon appeared, the Third Uncle's heart sank to the bottom.

It's useless now.

In the face of such a supreme expert, even if two of you were to self-destruct using secret techniques, it would be useless.

The moment Mingyue appeared, it was a death sentence for him and the younger generation of the mountain stronghold.

Given the extent of Mingyue Sect Leader's hatred and loathing for the Chao Clan, they had absolutely no chance of survival.

What terrified him even more was that Mingyue's visit must have been for the child who had been separated from his family.

If Mingyue insists on killing the child, given Mingyue's seniority and cultivation level, the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect would never want to be her enemy.

Especially now, when the situation in the capital is so unpredictable.

However, just as despair surged in the heart of the Third Grandfather, a sudden fluctuation of the formation appeared on the mountain below.

As the faint light of the formation slowly dissipated, a stunningly beautiful woman stood gracefully.

Upon seeing this stunningly beautiful figure, all the spies from various factions hidden nearby simultaneously gasped in surprise.

Because the stunningly beautiful figure who suddenly appeared here was none other than the legendary little princess of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.

Zhang Kaifeng.

"Feng'er pays respects to the Ancestor."

Dressed in palace attire, the thirty-year-old performed a standard junior's salute to Mingyue.

Looking at the man who was thirty and bowing to her, Mingyue nodded slightly.

"Little Phoenix, did you appear at this time to save these people of the Qi Clan?"

His face turned cold after he finished speaking.

“Even if your Zhang family patriarch came here, these scum of the Zhang clan would still have to die here.”

Upon hearing this, Thirty-Year-Old smiled and then bowed again to the bright moon.

"Grand Ancestor, you flatter me. How could I possibly spoil your mood? I just heard from your disciple that you have come in person, so naturally I had to come and pay my respects."

As the sound faded, the thirty-year-old figure slowly landed on the cloud boat, and then naturally took Mingyue's arm.

“My ancestor used to hold me when I was little. It’s been over twenty years since I last saw him. I miss him terribly.”

The words "thirty and established" brought a smile to the tense face of the Bright Moon Sect Leader, who gave him a disdainful glare, feigning anger.

"You little girl, you've always had a sweet tongue. At just four years old, you managed to get the ancient secret technique, the Divine Drum Dragon Slaying Technique, from me. Let me tell you, it won't be so easy for you to get anything good from me again."

Upon hearing this, Thirty-Year-Old hugged Mingyue's arm tightly and whispered something in her ear.

“Ancestor, I gave the Divine Drum Dragon-Slaying Technique to a girl named Dongfang Xiaogu.”

Upon hearing this, Mingyue abruptly turned to look at the thirty-year-old, a hint of urgency and excitement flashing in her eyes.

"The East? But..."

Before she could finish speaking, she nodded solemnly, saying that she was not yet thirty.

Upon seeing this, Mingyue took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes to calm her extremely complicated emotions.

Because the holy son of her generation was named Dongfang Lu.

According to the tradition of Wuji Temple, Mingyue, who will succeed as the sect leader, will marry Dongfang Lu, but suddenly someone forcibly starts cooking for them.

If such a thing were to get out, Wuji Temple would be disgraced in an instant, and Mingyue would not only be unable to take over as the sect leader, but it would be uncertain whether she could even save her life.

Therefore, for the sake of the sect's reputation and for Mingyue's safety, Dongfang Lu, the holy son of Wuji Temple of that generation, chose to exile himself.

No one knows where he went, and no one has seen him since.

His disappearance preserved the reputation of Wuji Temple and Mingyue, and provided a plausible explanation to the outside world.

With the Holy Son disappearing or even perishing, it was only natural that the Holy Daughter would not marry another, and everything became perfectly logical.

But Mingyue knew very well what had happened; her senior brother Dongfang had chosen to give up for her sake.

Over the years, she has never given up searching for Dongfang Lu, because she always felt that Dongfang Lu's disappearance was related to that scoundrel.

Hearing this news from someone who is now thirty, she felt a mix of emotions: excitement, confusion, and a lot of questions.

Just as Mingyue closed her eyes in deep thought about turning thirty, her third great-uncle, who had received several glances from her before realizing what was happening, landed on the mountaintop.

As the array flickered, he and the members of the He clan were instantly teleported away.

In fact, the people of Wuji Temple could have stopped them, but Elder Mingrou glared at Thirty-Three and stood by.

He waved to signal the Wuji Temple people not to make a move, and let the Ye clan leave.

Elder Mingrou was well aware that this clever and mischievous girl had appeared here and then released the information that her senior sister and she herself most wanted to know.

Their true purpose was to save lives.

The deeper purpose was to let spies from all other forces witness this intimate scene.

Everyone in the land knew of Wuji Temple's ruthlessness towards the Ye Clan, and no one had ever tried to mediate, nor dared to.

Because it didn't work, Sect Leader Mingyue wouldn't give face to anyone.

But today, I reconciled them, and I succeeded.

What does this mean?

This means I'm very important to the Mingyue Sect Leader.

Since they're all this important, it's only natural that we should form an alliance.

My Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect and Wuji Nunnery have formed an alliance. Are you afraid?

Regardless of whether it's true or not, just ask yourself if you're trembling, especially with the indistinct Chao tribe behind you.

If the three major powers were to truly form an alliance, the entire situation in the Imperial Land would change instantly.

What a clever little girl.

Looking at Elder Mingrou, who was smiling at her as she turned thirty and had held her when she was a child, she could only shake her head and smile wryly.

But hunting down the Yang clan is no longer necessary at the moment.

The question that has troubled my senior sister for so many years will be answered by this little girl today.

He then waved his hand to arrange for his disciples to guard outside the cloud boat, and the three of them turned and entered the main hall of the cloud boat.

The words spoken at the age of thirty naturally stirred the emotions of the two elderly people.

And the course of events will change dramatically as she recounts her story.

Somewhat bored, Huang Boqi sat in the pavilion drinking tea.

This person is strange; he's always been alone and doesn't seem to find anything wrong with it.

But after suddenly getting a wife, I feel uncomfortable even if we're apart for a short while.

I miss them, but I worry about them even more.

I always felt that time was passing too slowly, and I would often overthink whether she might encounter any danger.

He especially told his wife in a whisper before she left.

“I stole another cooking guide from my grandpa, and we’ll study it together tonight.”
