“Mother, Haotian is right. In Rui’er’s opinion, it is the best choice for Yan’er to marry Haotian.”
Nangong Ruichen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also spoke.
"This..." Sima Jiaorong was still hesitant. After all, she didn't know what the outcome would be. But Yan'er absolutely could not marry Dongfang Yifei. In comparison, Tian'er was much better. He was also devoted to Yan'er. But she only had this one precious daughter. Was she really going to let her marry someone else at such a young age?
"Mother, please agree!"
Nangong Jingqi also pleaded.
"Tian'er, get up! You're right, we're not on the Xuanwu Continent now, so let's follow the rules here!"
After much deliberation, for the sake of her daughter, Sima Jiaorong finally agreed.
"Tian'er thanks Auntie." Bei Ming Haotian looked moved and turned to look at Nangong Ziyan on the bed, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Dongfang Yifei rushed into the room of the inn where Baili Yuechan was staying.
Baili Yuechan was changing clothes when she heard the door being pushed open forcefully. She turned around abruptly and came face to face with Dongfang Yifei, who walked in. Instantly, a breathtakingly beautiful scene filled Dongfang Yifei's eyes.
Baili Yuechan, however, casually put on her outer garment, concealing the shocking scene.
"Tsk tsk!" Dongfang Yifei chuckled and clicked his tongue. Since she, as a woman, didn't care, why should he?
"Princess, you have such a beautiful figure. Just one glance was enough to arouse me. You truly are a captivating enchantress."
Dongfang Yifei sat down in the chair and spoke without any reservations, his face beaming with genuine approval. If this woman weren't so cunning, he would have been smitten with such a beautiful face long ago.
Baili Yuechan glanced at Dongfang Yifei, smoothed her long, black, and soft hair, and calmly sat down opposite him.
"Young Master Dongfang, is there something you need?"
His gentle tone sometimes echoed that of Wuguzi.
"Princess, aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to? Today's events were clearly planned, so why didn't you follow the plan? Also, you should know very well who kidnapped Nangong Ziyan, right?"
When it came to serious matters, Dongfang Yifei's previous playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
"Shouldn't the young master be asking himself this question? Nangong Ziyan is a high-level Heaven-ranked pharmacist, why have you never mentioned it?"
Baili Yuechan was furious when she thought about what had happened during the day.
“Princess, I only learned about this today. I always knew she was a pharmacist, but I never expected her alchemy skills to be at the Heavenly Rank High-level. Today, she even passed the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Saint-level pharmacist. These are all things I never anticipated. My impression of her was that she loved to eat and play, and was so innocent that she was easy to bully. I was blinded by her. Now, I am just as angry as you are, Princess.”
Dongfang Yifei slammed his fist on the table, his heart filled with resentment. From the very beginning, Yan'er had been just going through the motions with him.
Baili Yuechan gave Dongfang Yifei a sharp look, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Today's plan is canceled. Nangong Ziyan is on the verge of death. We'll discuss it again once she recovers."
Without receiving instructions from her master, she dared not act rashly.
"Cancel?" Dongfang Yifei smiled darkly. "Princess, do you think I, Dongfang Yifei, am someone who is so easily fooled? You destroy my trust with just one word, 'cancel.' Or does the princess think that your Qihe Dynasty is stronger than our Donghai Continent?"
Dongfang Yifei was about to explode in anger, and his gloomy and terrifying aura somewhat intimidated Baili Yuechan. It seemed that she had underestimated Dongfang Yifei; he was even more cunning than she had imagined.
"So, what does Young Master Dongfang want?"
Even so, Baili Yuechan would not be truly afraid of Dongfang Yifei.
"This young master hopes to cooperate with the princess once again. This young master is determined to have Nangong Ziyan."
"Then, I, your teacher, will lend you a hand."
The sudden sound alerted Dongfang Yifei.
Baili Yuechan quickly got up.
A white figure had already landed in the room.
"Chan'er greets Master."
"Um!"
Wuguzi nodded and sat down in the chair.
Baili Yuechan quickly poured him a cup of tea.
"Your Excellency is the Grand Preceptor of the Qihe Dynasty."
Dongfang Yifei stood up and looked at Wuguzi. He was surprised that Wuguzi was so young. It turned out that the legend that he had an ageless appearance was true.
"Indeed, Young Master Dongfang, please have a seat."
Dongfang Yifei sat down without any hesitation.
"I wonder what the Imperial Advisor meant just now?"
Dongfang Yifei got straight to the point.
“It’s not impossible for Young Master Dongfang to want Nangong Ziyan. Now is a perfect opportunity. During the capture of Nangong Ziyan today, I accidentally made a mistake and Nangong Ziyan was poisoned by my Soul-Cleansing Powder. Beiming Haotian and the others are working together to save Nangong Ziyan. As soon as Nangong Ziyan wakes up, the effects of the drug will take effect immediately. The only antidote is a man. If Young Master Dongfang has the courage, we can go there now. Young Master Dongfang will be responsible for taking Nangong Ziyan away, while I will be responsible for ambushing them and diverting their attention.”
After Wuguzi escaped, he quickly recovered from the poison. If it weren't for his high cultivation level, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"With the Imperial Advisor's help, we have no worries about success. Let's not delay, let's go now."
