"Now that we have a way to solve the problem of the Blazing Sun Bow, we just need to wait for the city lord's blood!" Ji Jiuying said and turned to leave. Then, thinking of something, she added, "Old man, since the furnace has exploded so many times, why not add some ice crystals during the forging process? That way, the ice-type spiritual energy in the sword will be much purer and less likely to explode."

Old Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction. How come he hadn't thought of that?

No, how could she know so much when she's only at the intermediate level of weapon refining? By the time he realized what was happening, Ji Jiuying was nowhere to be seen!

Following the route in her mind, Ji Jiuying arrived at the restaurant to find Gu Qingfeng, but Gu Qingfeng was no longer there. Helpless, Ji Jiuying left a letter and gave it to the manager.

Just as I was about to leave, a voice came from behind me.

"Little trick!"

The Emperor's Reign?

"Jun Lintian, what are you doing here?"

"This prince was just..." Jun Lintian was interrupted by a female voice before he could finish speaking!

"Second Imperial Brother!"

Upon hearing this, Jun Lintian's face immediately showed displeasure.

Ji Jiuying turned her head and raised an eyebrow. It was her, the Fourth Princess Jun Luoli!

Jun Luoli strolled over leisurely, looking at Ji Jiuying with an arrogant air, "Ji Jiuying! Long time no see!"

"Fourth Princess! It has indeed been a long time!"

Seeing her indifferent expression, Jun Luoli immediately became furious. "Hmph, Ji Jiuying, you caused me to be imprisoned for three months. If you kneel down and kowtow to me a few times now, I might consider forgiving you!"

Jun Luoli spoke with an air of superiority, as if making Ji Jiuying kneel was a favor bestowed upon her. Ji Jiuying was about to die laughing at her behavior! Even the emperor wouldn't dare make her kneel, yet she dared to think that way!

"Jun Luoli, don't go too far!" Jun Lintian's face darkened as he angrily said.

"Hmph, Jun Lintian, who do you think you are? I'm being kind by calling you Second Brother. You don't actually think the Crown Prince position will fall to a good-for-nothing like you, do you?"

Jun Luoli said sarcastically, as if in her eyes her younger brother Jun Linqi was already the crown prince.

"you!"

However, her words made Ji Jiuying look puzzled. Even if Jun Luoli was arrogant in the past, she would never say such things to Jun Lintian. What happened in Kyoto while she was away?

"Ji Jiuying, you probably don't know, but the Liang family is finished! Jun Linyu has been exiled to the frontier, Jun Linfeng is dead, and a crown prince is about to be chosen. My brother will soon be the crown prince, hahaha! Scared yet!" Jun Luoli laughed maniacally. Who knew she used to think Jun Linyu would definitely be the crown prince of Cangyue Kingdom, which is why she tried so hard to please him? She never expected the Liang family to be destroyed so easily! She was now the high and mighty Fourth Princess, and she no longer needed to please anyone!

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying glanced at Jun Lintian. No wonder she hadn't seen him at the freshman assembly or in the Wuyashan Mountains. It turned out he had returned to Cangyue. The Liang family was bound to fall sooner or later, but it was quite unexpected that they had fallen so suddenly!

No wonder the Fourth Princess Jun Luoli is so arrogant now, but... she doesn't think Jun Linqi will be the Crown Prince!

"Fourth Princess, three months of confinement haven't taught you to think before you speak? The Emperor hasn't even announced this matter to the world yet, and you've already made your judgment. I wonder what the Fourth Princess's intentions are? Or what Consort Qing's intentions are? If the Emperor knew that the Fourth Princess dared to make a decision for him, what do you think he would think of you, Fourth Princess?"

Ji Jiuying said with a half-smile.

As expected, Jun Luoli's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she panicked. If this matter reached her father's ears, not only would she be punished, but her mother and uncles would also be implicated! For now, she had no choice but to lower her head!

Ji Jiuying couldn't help but find it a little funny to see the Fourth Princess so flexible and adaptable. With her simple mind and strong body, she could be easily taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives!

"Hmph~ This is the last time!"

After Jun Lintian finished speaking, he and Ji Jiuying left. Jun Luoli watched their departing figures, and her tearful eyes suddenly turned as vicious as a venomous snake!

Hmph! Jun Lintian! Ji Jiuying! Let you two have your fun for a while!

"Jun Lintian, can you tell me what happened in the capital city?" Ji Jiuying asked.

Jun Lintian recounted the whole story from beginning to end. After listening, Ji Jiuying pondered for a moment. Grand Tutor Liang had long been all-powerful in Cangyue Kingdom. After all these events, the emperor probably wanted to bring down the Liang family, but lacked evidence. However, the matter of Consort Liang had directly pushed Grand Tutor Liang to the brink. Unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Liang directly staged a coup!

It has to be said that Grand Tutor Liang was incredibly stupid; this was clearly a trap set by the emperor!

By the time we returned to Guixu Palace, it was completely dark!

Ji Jiuying plunged into the space, lay down on the soft Dreamy Bed, and after resting for a while, took out the Blazing Fruit she obtained in the Boundless Mountains to refine!

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Jiuying refined the Flaming Fruit. Without stopping, she continued to cultivate the fourth level of the Divine Control Technique. It had been quite some time since she reached the fourth level, and there was still no sign of her breaking through. It seemed that what Evil Fire said was true: the higher the level, the harder it was to break through.

Time flew by during cultivation, and soon it was the next day.

Early in the morning, Ji Jiuying went to the Weapon Refining Sect to study. When she arrived at the sect, many people looked her over.

"Look at that beautiful woman over there!"

"That looks like the dean's apprentice, what's she doing here at our Weapon Refining Sect?"

"Could it be that she's also here to learn weapon crafting?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Did you come to the Weapon Forging Sect to eat, or to learn weapon forging?"

"I heard she hunted down more than 500 high-level spirit beasts in seven days in the Boundless Mountains. She must be very strong. Her weapon refining level must have reached the advanced level, right?" an older student said.

"I guessed so!"

Just then, Ji Jiuying walked towards them. The group swallowed hard, wondering if they had been overheard talking about her.

"She...she's coming towards us!"

"Hello, could you please tell me where the intermediate weapon-refining room is?"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out she was asking for directions. But when they realized what had happened, their jaws dropped! What? This senior sister's weapon-refining level is only intermediate?

Seeing their silence and surprised expression, Ji Jiuying asked again, "Hello?"

"Um... Senior Sister, just go straight to the second room at the end!"

"Thank you!" Ji Jiuying smiled, and everyone watched her departing figure. "Wow~ Senior Sister's smile is so beautiful~"

"..."

The noisy weapon-refining room fell silent the moment Ji Jiuying arrived! Everyone stared at this senior sister with curiosity, surprise, and doubt!

"Senior Sister!"

"Senior Sister..."

A voice broke the silence, and then everyone greeted Ji Jiuying!

Ji Jiuying responded calmly and found a corner seat to sit down.
