"It is indeed I, the Empress."
Baili Yuechan openly admitted that once Ximen Qingtian left Ximen Continent, wouldn't it be easier for him to find out Dongfang Yifei's identity?
Ximen Qingtian raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit tired from days of running around. He walked to a chair and sat down.
Simon Ruiyun quickly poured him a cup of tea.
Ximen Qingtian took a small sip, thinking about what Baili Yuechan had said. If the Seven Jade of Eternity were really as powerful as she said, why would he have gone to such lengths to find the whereabouts of the Demon Refining Pot?
"Princess Yuechan, I wonder if your master will succeed tonight. Perhaps I should take a look at the so-called Seven Eternal Jades."
Ximen Qingtian's brows furrowed with authority, and his every move exuded the aura of a king ruling the world.
"I can't say for sure, since only my master and Dongfang Yifei went. As long as they can defeat the Demon Lord and Venerable Yunxiao, they will definitely be able to bring back the Seven Eternal Jade."
Baili Yuechan brought up Dongfang Yifei on purpose, wanting to see what kind of expression Ximen Qingtian would have when he heard Dongfang Yifei's name.
Sure enough, when Ximen Qingtian heard Dongfang Yifei's name, he suddenly looked up at Baili Yuechan.
"Dongfang Yifei, he went too?"
There was a clear hint of urgency in his tone, yet it was hidden so well that it was not easily noticed.
"Oh! Does City Lord Ximen know Dongfang Yifei?"
Instead of answering, Baili Yuechan asked a question and took a few steps toward Ximen Qingtian.
"He is the young master of the Eastern Continent, so I naturally know him."
Ximen Qingtian answered calmly, but a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashed quickly in his majestic and profound eyes, which Baili Yuechan swiftly caught.
Ximen Ruiyun glanced quickly at Ximen Qingtian, his eyes slightly lowered, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
"Does the princess know their whereabouts?"
"I don't know that. It seems that Venerable Yunxiao is currently residing in Yunmeng Mountain, but Yunmeng Mountain is so big that we won't be able to find them for a while. All we can do now is wait."
Baili Yuechan wouldn't be foolish enough to take them along, would she?
"That's the only way then, Yun'er. Your father is tired. As for your sister's matter, we'll discuss it tomorrow."
"Lord Ximen, Princess Chunxue's death was mainly due to Nangong Ziyan. If you want revenge, you only need to kill Nangong Ziyan. She is the root of the whole thing."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Baili Yuechan tried to push all the blame onto Nangong Ziyan. As long as she could kill Nangong Ziyan, she didn't care about the process.
"Yun'er has already reported this matter to me, and I will naturally not let Nangong Ziyan off the hook."
Upon hearing this, Baili Yuechan's face was filled with a triumphant smile. Nothing could make her happier than killing Nangong Ziyan.
On the third floor of the inn, Nangong Ruichen hurriedly went to the room where Nangong Yuze and the others were staying.
"Knock knock..." Nangong Ruichen knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response, so he called out again, "Father, Mother, are you asleep?"
"Chen'er, come in! We just lay down too."
Sima Jiaorong was asleep, but upon hearing her son's anxious voice, she was instantly wide awake.
Nangong Yuze also quickly got up and lit the lamp.
"Father, Mother, Chen'er just came back from outside and saw Ximen Qingtian's carriage arrive at the inn. Out of curiosity, Chen'er followed it. He went to Ximen Ruiyun's room, where Ximen Ruiyun was discussing something with Baili Yuechan. The matter concerned Henggu Qiyu and Ximen Qingtian's desire to seek revenge on Yan'er. Baili Yuechan is truly despicable; she actually blamed Yan'er entirely for Ximen Chunxue's death."
When the topic of his younger sister's life came up, Nangong Ruichen became somewhat agitated.
Sima Jiaorong's gaze met Nangong Yuze's briefly in the air. Nangong Yuze's eyes darkened, his lips were pressed tightly together, and his expression seemed to be trying his best to suppress some emotions that were about to explode.
"Don't worry! They won't kill Yan'er so easily. Chen'er, you should go back and rest!"
Sima Jiaorong knew that Ximen Qingtian wanted to kill her daughter, but since Ximen Qingtian was still in the inn, Yan'er would be safe for the time being.
“Mother, the problem is that Wuguzi and Dongfang Yifei are not at the inn. When Rui’er heard Ximen Qingtian ask Baili Yuechan, it seemed that Wuguzi and Dongfang Yifei went to Yunmeng Mountain to find Venerable Yunxiao. According to Chen’er’s guess, Yan’er should have gathered the Seven Jade of Eternity. Tonight is also the night of the full moon, and Yan’er and Haotian are also very likely to go to see Venerable Yunxiao.”
“Chen’er, if Venerable Yunxiao is really by your side, then there’s nothing to worry about. Venerable Yunxiao has a very high reputation, and wasn’t Haoze also summoned by Venerable Nanxing? Even if Wuguzi wants to kill Tian’er and Yan’er, he still has to consider Venerable Yunxiao’s presence. Distant water can’t quench immediate thirst. Even if we go to Yunmeng Mountain now, it’s too late. Moreover, Venerable Yunxiao is elusive, and we can’t find his exact location. We will definitely know the result after dawn.”
After Nangong Ruichen said that, Nangong Yuze was no longer worried.
Nangong Ruichen was taken aback, then the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, and finally, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile. That's right! How could he not have thought of this? Haoze went too, Yan'er won't be in any trouble.
Meanwhile, in Yunmeng Mountain, Wuguzi and Dongfang Yifei were forced to retreat step by step.
After a brief pause in the fighting, Bei Ming Haotian's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty killing intent, making his exquisitely handsome face appear even more wicked.
Looking at that dazzling smile, Wuguzi thought back to a time when he too had such a beautiful and fulfilling moment.
