After this incident, although Feng Che was on night watch, everyone was wide awake and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

The night passed quickly.

The group headed up the mountain again, and Wufeng Mountain seemed to be more crowded than yesterday.

"Ah~ Help!" A bear ran towards them, with a girl sitting on its back. She was the one who shouted for help, and a group of people were chasing after her.

Upon seeing Ji Jiuying and the others, they shouted in alarm, "Get away! Get away now!"

Everyone quickly moved aside; the bear was so fast that if someone accidentally bumped into it, they would be mangled beyond recognition.

Just as the bear brushed past them, a hand shoved Ji Jiuying from behind.

"Xiao Jiu!"

Everyone was shocked; their hearts jumped into their throats!

The evil fire in Ji Jiuying's arms fell to the ground, instantly raising its fur. Its ferocious face roared in the direction where Ji Jiuying had just been standing.

Qingling quickly stepped forward, embraced the evil fire on the ground, and comforted it.

Ji Jiuying immediately leaped up and sat on the bear's back. The girl on the bear's back was shocked for a moment. A cold glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes, and the Black Night sword in her hand quickly stabbed into the bear's head. Blood gushed out, and a scream echoed in the valley. The bear fell backward and to the ground. Ji Jiuying and the girl were thrown off at the same time.

"Ah—help me—"

Ji Jiuying frowned slightly, stepped forward and hugged the woman, and slowly landed on the ground, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Bang--

With a loud bang, the bear was dead.

"Are you alright?" Ji Jiuying released the girl and asked, looking at the girl who was staring blankly at her with a puzzled expression.

The girl stared intently at Ji Jiuying, swallowing hard. "So handsome~"

"Thank you for saving me, young master."

Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly, and she coughed lightly. "It's alright. This Wind Chaser Bear is difficult to tame. There's no need for you to ride on its back and chase after it. It can run until it's exhausted and dies in order to shake you off."

The girl nodded, her eyes gleaming. "Young master, are you married?"

Ji Jiuying was slightly taken aback. Could this girl have fallen in love with her? She should have known better than to make herself look less attractive.

"Second Princess!"

"Ning'er".

A large group of people rushed up, and among them was a familiar figure to Ji Jiuying! It was Murong Yun, the Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes slightly, a chill creeping into them, and was about to turn and leave.

"Ning'er! How are you? Are you alright?" A woman in a pale yellow dress stepped forward and asked worriedly.

"Royal sister, I'm fine. It was this young master who saved me." Murong Ning's face flushed slightly. Murong Jinxiu frowned slightly, but no matter what, it was he who saved Ning'er.

Murong Jinxiu stepped forward and said softly, "I am the eldest princess of the Western Jin Kingdom. I thank you for saving my third sister, young master."

Ji Jiuying chuckled inwardly. How could she not know what Murong Jinxiu meant? She was simply trying to reveal her identity and warn her not to have any improper thoughts about Murong Ning. She really wanted to tell her that she was overthinking it!

But Ji Jiuying wasn't someone anyone could threaten. Her eyes gleamed with cold indifference. "No need to be polite. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now. My friend is waiting for me over there."

Murong Jinxiu was stunned for a second. She did not expect Ji Jiuying to be so indifferent after knowing their identities.

"Young Master..." Murong Ning was about to step forward when Murong Jinxiu stopped him.

"Royal sister, what are you doing? I haven't properly thanked that young master yet!" Murong Ning said anxiously.

“Ning’er, you are a princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, how can you be so frivolous?” Murong Jinxiu scolded.

Murong Yun, looking at Ji Jiuying's back, felt that it was somewhat familiar. His eyes narrowed slightly, and when he glanced at the people from Star Academy not far away, he immediately had a guess in his mind and quickly took a few steps forward.

"Brother, I haven't properly thanked you for saving my sister yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you perhaps afraid of something?" Murong Yun came up behind Ji Jiuying.

Ji Jiuying didn't turn around and said coldly, "No need to be polite, I was just doing it on the spur of the moment."

"Could it be that you're afraid of me, the Crown Prince?"

Seeing the large hand on her shoulder, Ji Jiuying's face darkened. She turned around and started fighting with Murong Yun. The swords flashed and the battle was about to begin. The air was thick with the fighting spirit.

"Why did my royal brother get into a fight with our benefactor?" Murong Ning asked anxiously.

"Why is Xiao Jiu fighting with the Crown Prince of Western Jin?" Wen Longxiu asked worriedly, watching the two fighting in front of her.

"Could it be that the Crown Prince of Western Jin recognized Xiao Jiu?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Che frowned. "You all wait here, I'll come over."

Amidst the turmoil, everyone was stunned by Ji Jiuying's swift and decisive actions. Her expression was cold and ruthless, and gradually the Crown Prince of Western Jin was at a disadvantage.

"Your Majesty actually lost to our benefactor! Our benefactor is so handsome!" Murong Ning exclaimed admiringly. Murong Jinxiu, however, narrowed her eyes slightly. This man is no ordinary person. It seems that Your Majesty knows him!

Murong Yun wiped the blood from his mouth, a half-smile on his face, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Princess Anping's strength seems to have increased quite a bit again!"

Ji Jiuying's face darkened. He had indeed recognized her. She snorted coldly, "The Crown Prince of Western Jin is still as annoying as ever."

Instead of being angry, Murong Yun laughed. Just as he was about to say something, a powerful aura swept over him, forcing him to take a few steps back and look up at the man in front of him in surprise.

"Crown Prince of Western Jin, do you want to offend Star Academy?" Feng Che stared coldly at the Crown Prince of Western Jin. He really wanted to kill the person in front of him who had repeatedly provoked his niece.

The Crown Prince of Western Jin looked Feng Che up and down, feeling that his aura was familiar and that he looked like someone, but he couldn't quite place him.

“Master, you misunderstand. How could I have offended Star Academy? I just thought this young master looked like an old friend and wanted to have a friendly spar with him.”

"Young master, don't you think so?" Murong Yun smiled as he looked at Ji Jiuying.

Ji Jiuying ignored him, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. She still needed to properly 'repay' the person who pushed her from behind. Seeing this, Feng Che turned his head and gave Murong Yun a cold look, "Farewell!"

"Wait...wait a minute! What happened to my benefactor, my royal brother..." Murong Ning asked, puzzled, as she approached Murong Yun.

"Ning'er, let's call this off. You and her can never be together!" Murong Yun shouted. How could he not know what Murong Ning was thinking?

"Royal brother..." Murong Ning was immediately displeased. She wanted to say something, but Murong Yun gave her a warning look that killed her, so she swallowed her words. She didn't understand why her royal brother was stopping her like that. She had finally taken a liking to someone.

Murong Ning glanced at Ji Jiuying, then turned around and followed Murong Yun.
