In the quiet of the night, a sincere affection is spreading...
The official road leading to the Fengyun Competition was getting increasingly crowded.
“Princess, we’ve been chasing after them all the way, but we haven’t caught up with the Demon Lord and his group. Could it be that they’re not on the same path as us?”
Xiao Nian stood outside the carriage and respectfully reported that in the past few days, the princess had been constantly asking her to inquire about the Demon Lord. She had long since seen through the princess's feelings for the Demon Lord, but would the Imperial Advisor allow it?
"They're not taking the same path? How is that possible? There's only one way to the Fengyun Tournament, isn't there?"
Baili Yuechan was puzzled. Where were they going?
“Princess, Xiao Nian has also asked others, and this is the only way to get to the Fengyun Tournament.”
"If this were the only way, we would have caught up with them long ago. There must be other ways."
Baili Yuechan didn't believe there was only one way to go; this was his territory.
"It feels like three autumns have passed in a day! Princess, we'll definitely see each other at the Wind and Cloud Tournament, why are we in such a hurry? You've kept me from getting a good night's sleep."
Dongfang Yifei said sarcastically from the side, "This woman wants to marry the Demon Lord. Isn't she afraid of being hunted down by the whole world?"
Bei Ming Haotian was an absolute devil. Those in the know understood that when he was born, there were strange celestial phenomena, and everything within a hundred miles withered and died. Despite such an ominous person, there were still people vying to marry him.
"Young Master, don't forget, your fiancée, Nangong Ziyan, is still with him. Aren't you worried at all?"
Baili Yuechan's face was gloomy; she hated it when people spoke to her in that tone.
"I have foreseen that Yan'er will be my wife. As long as my mother is here, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
Dongfang Yifei said smugly and proudly, showing no concern whatsoever about this.
"Young Master Dongfang, you're not a child anymore. Why do you always rely on your mother to solve everything for you and worry about everything for you? Don't you have any opinions of your own?"
Baili Yuechan said with disgust. She hated men like this the most, but even if she hated them, she had to endure it for her own purposes.
"Princess, what are you saying? Are you very envious of me for having such a capable mother?"
Dongfang Yifei failed to grasp the sarcasm in Baili Yuechan's words, misinterpreting it as jealousy.
“Envious…?” Baili Yuechan was speechless.
"Let's go! Since we can't catch up, we'll just have to meet again at the Wind and Cloud Tournament."
Baili Yuechan felt a little disappointed. Not being able to see Beiming Haotian left her feeling empty inside.
"Your Highness, Baili Yuechan has been searching for information about the Demon Lord."
After Baili Yuechan and the others left, Hong Yiming spoke to Baili Jun'ao, who was hiding not far away.
"Inquire about the Demon Lord's whereabouts?" Baili Jun'ao frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he felt that it was still possible, despite his doubts.
"How did things go?"
"Your Highness, everything is proceeding according to plan and is going smoothly. Baili Yuechan will not discover it for the time being."
Hong Yiming smiled broadly. His years-long plan was already half successful; all that remained was to proceed step by step.
"drive……!"
The sound of hooves clattered as the horse galloped past Baili Jun'ao and his companions, kicking up clouds of dust. Baili Jun'ao couldn't immediately discern where the riders were from.
"Cough...cough..." Baili Jun'ao stared gloomily at the departing troops, feeling utterly disgusted. He was already in a bad mood, and now he had swallowed a bellyful of grievances.
"Your Highness, judging from their banners, they should be from the Northern Underworld Continent. It is true that the Demon Lord sent people to kill the young master of the Northern Underworld Continent, Bei Ming Yi Feng. They have come here mostly for revenge."
"The Wind and Cloud Tournament is going to be very exciting. Not many people know about what happened in the Northern Underworld Continent back then. Even those who did know were killed by Northern Underworld Yaowei. The Demon Lord has been preparing for sixteen years. It seems that Northern Underworld Yaowei's fate is sealed."
Even now, Baili Jun'ao can guess who will have a slight advantage.
"Your Highness, I heard that when the Demon Lord was born, the heavens changed and all things withered and died. Is this really true?" Hong Yiming asked with some disbelief.
