Fei Ping's eyes flickered, but he remained silent; the answer was already obvious.
"Demon Lord?"
"Demon Lord?"
Nangong Yuze and Sima Jiaorong shouted at the same time. Although they had heard Tian Nanxing talk about this, Yan'er was always with him, and they, as parents, were still very worried.
"Palace Mistress Nangong, with your beautiful face."
Dressed in her finest attire, Nan Manying, accompanied by Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Yifei, and Baili Yuechan, walked over, quickly attracting the attention of those around them.
"Lord Dongfang, Madam Dongfang, it's been a long time," Sima Jiaorong replied calmly.
Madam Dongfang? Hearing this distant reply, Nanman Ning felt displeased, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Brother Nangong, it's been a long time," Dongfang Shuo greeted first.
"It's been a long time. Our two families happen to be located in the same area. Brother Dongfang, let's sit down and have a chat."
“Okay!” Dongfang Shuo readily sat down next to Nangong Yuze.
The brothers Dongfang Yifei and Nangong Ruichen also paid their respects to each other's elders.
"Brother Dongfang, who is this young lady...?" Nangong Yuze looked at Baili Yuechan and saw that the woman's eyes were neither arrogant nor humble, so her status should be extraordinary.
"Oh! Brother Nangong, this is Princess Yuechan of the Qihe Dynasty."
Princess Yuechan? Nangong Ruichen suddenly looked at Baili Yuechan. So she was a princess of the Qihe Dynasty and Wuguzi's apprentice. Instantly, Nangong Ruichen's face turned icy cold. He would never forget those rumors about his sister.
Looking at Dongfang Yifei beside her, Nangong Ruichen knew without a doubt that Yifei had already told this woman everything he knew about Yan'er. It seemed that Yifei was truly unlucky to be their brother-in-law.
Upon hearing that it was Princess Yuechan, Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze's expressions instantly changed.
Baili Yuechan, who is most adept at reading people, how could she not guess what they were thinking?
"So you are Princess Yuechan of the Qihe Dynasty! My apologies! But I wonder when our Yan'er, who lives so far away, offended your master? Is your master going to push Yan'er into the eye of the storm?"
Nangong Jingqi looked at Baili Yuechan with a mocking expression, unmoved by Baili Yuechan's beauty, but rather with disgust.
Baili Yuechan's expression changed slightly, and she said slowly, "My master has always been highly respected. It is not surprising that he could foresee Miss Nangong's destiny while he was still in the Qihe Dynasty."
That smug tone ignited a fire in Sima Jiaorong's heart.
Li Se looked at Baili Yuechan and said, "Princess Yuechan speaks so lightly. What do you mean by 'this is not surprising'? You put my daughter to death. I will remember this grudge. The Qihe Dynasty is nothing to me."
Sima Jiaorong's powerful aura overwhelmed Baili Yuechan's smugness, and the two instantly confronted each other.
Baili Yuechan's heart skipped a beat, her eyes flickered, and she looked at Sima Jiaorong with slight surprise. She had just tried to probe the cultivation level of Nangong Ziyan's mother, but she couldn't detect it.
“Princess Yuechan, you are not qualified to test my cultivation level. Wuguzi, I have long remembered this name. If my woman suffers any harm because of this matter, I swear here today that I will massacre the Qihe Dynasty.”
Her tough demeanor revealed the seriousness in her delicate face. Anger had made her lose her mind. The thought of her daughter having to live in constant fear every day made her heart ache.
"Jiaorong! It's not as serious as you make it out to be! Yan'er is perfectly fine now, isn't she? Saying these things now will only hurt our harmony." Nanman Ning saw that things were getting out of hand and tried to mediate.
"Damaged harmony?" Sima Jiaorong smiled sarcastically. "Ever since the Qihe Dynasty spread the story of my daughter, this harmony that has been maintained for many years has long since vanished."
