In the study of General Yun's mansion.
Yun Luoxue knelt on the ground, a trace of self-blame flashing in her eyes, "Father, this time it's all my fault. I shouldn't have underestimated her, which led to our Yun family's martial arts being destroyed by that bitch."
Yun Zhantian had his back to her, his chest heaving with anger, his eyes blazing with fury. "You still remember? Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
Yun Luoxue lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Zhantian anymore. She also felt a little uncomfortable. This cultivation technique was the best one in the Yun family, so it was normal for her father to be angry.
"Father, I was wrong."
When Yun Zhantian saw his daughter, whom he had pampered for so many years, kneeling on the ground for a whole day, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sorry for her.
But she actually caused such a huge incident; that was a top-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique that their Yun family had passed down for so many years.
The cultivation method represents the inheritance and rise and fall of a family. How can he explain this to the other members of the family?
After a long silence, he sighed, turned around and pointed at Yun Luoxue kneeling on the ground, "Tell me properly, how have I been teaching you all this time?"
Yun Luoxue lowered her head even further, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, and slowly spoke.
"Don't underestimate anyone, and don't take action rashly before you've ascertained their background."
Yun Zhantian glared at her with exasperation, "You knowingly committed the crime!"
“In the Southern Spirit Kingdom, you may indeed act arrogantly because of my cultivation level, but there are always people more powerful than you. If you offend a disciple from a major sect, not only will you die, but your entire family will also die with you.”
Yun Luoxue's heart tightened at the thought. She looked up at Yun Zhantian with a look of horror on her face. "No, it can't be?"
“Father, I tested her identity before, but at that time she didn’t even have any cultivation, so I thought she was just a useless person who couldn’t cultivate.”
"But I didn't expect that she could still casually produce so many Rank 3 Breakthrough Pills even though she had only temporarily lost her cultivation."
When Yun Luoxue thought that Lu Fuyue might be a disciple of some major sect, her face immediately turned pale.
"What should we do? Will she target our Yun family?"
Yun Zhantian frowned and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Probably not. According to your description, if she really wanted to harm our Yun family, she would probably have killed you already."
Upon hearing this, Yun Luoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.
Yun Zhantian frowned. "Find an opportunity to test her out. Find out which sect she comes from. If she's a disciple of a major sect, then you should treat her well."
He paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"If it's some minor sect, then your father will kill her for you personally."
Yun Luoxue thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Father."
"My daughter has already figured out how to find out her identity."

After seeing Nan Ling'er off, Lu Fuyue immediately cast a spell on the courtyard to create a protective shield.
Then he closed the door and summoned the water spirit. "Do you think it's possible that Nan Chuli is the string with the water attribute?"
Upon hearing Lu Fuyue's words, Shui Ze's expression turned serious.
"Did you sense something?"
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time before hesitantly speaking.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that he gives me a strange feeling, like he knows me, but I have never seen him before."
Shui Ze remained silent for a moment after hearing this, "Under normal circumstances, the strings of the Weak Water Zither not only have a special connection with the owner of the zither, but also have a special reaction with the zither itself."
"If he is truly the embodiment of the strings, then his blood must have been incorporated into the body of the Weak Water Zither."
"You can use this method to test him."
After Shui Ze left, Lu Fuyue began to think about how to obtain Nan Chu Li's blood.
Asking directly for it won't work. Sometimes, if someone gets a drop of blood, and that drop is used by someone with malicious intent, it can be deadly.
Normal people wouldn't ask for someone else's blood.
Directly taking action is not an option, after all, this is the royal palace of the Southern Spirit Kingdom, guarded by experts at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Moreover, given Nan Chuli's status, he is likely protected by experts as well.
Lu Fuyue sighed; this method wouldn't work either.
If the above two methods are ruled out, then we can only resort to strategy.
Just as Lu Fuyue was pondering how to outsmart them, the barrier fluctuated, and a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes—someone was coming.
Lu Fuyue quickly removed the barrier, and Nan Chuli's voice came from outside the door.
"Miss Lu, may I come in?"
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback. She had just been thinking about how to get in touch with him, but he hadn't expected to show up like this.
So Lu Fuyue walked to the door, opened it, and smiled gently, "Your Highness, please come in."
Nan Chuli nodded slightly and went inside.
Only then did Lu Fuyue realize that Nan Chuli seemed somewhat different from the one she had seen before; she appeared to be even more beautiful.
Dressed in white with dark hair, adorned with a delicate jade pendant, he possessed an elegant and otherworldly appearance, subtly revealing a touch of casualness.
However, she didn't delve into it further; instead, she was somewhat curious about his purpose.
"Your Highness, is there something you need today?"
Nan Chuli poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Fuyue. "When I passed by Miss Lu's place before, I would always hear the sound of a zither coming from the courtyard."
"So I guessed that the girl was also a lover of music."
"As it happens, I came across a musical score a few days ago, and I would like to ask if you would be willing to play a duet with me on the qin and xiao?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. She hadn't expected that Nan Chuli was also a lover of music.
Suddenly she remembered that drop of blood, and an idea popped into her head.
Lu Fuyue looked up at Nan Chuli opposite her and nodded. "May I take a look at the sheet music first?"
Upon hearing Lu Fuyue's reply, Nan Chuli's eyes flashed almost imperceptibly, and he quickly took out the piece of music he had composed from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Fuyue.
Lu Fuyue took the sheet music, opened it, and was stunned. This musical score... why does it sound so much like a love song between a man and a woman...?
She subconsciously looked up at Nan Chuli and asked with some confusion, "Is Your Highness sure it's this poem?"
Nan Chuli nodded calmly, "That's it."
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and thought about it carefully. Perhaps it was prepared by Nan Chuli for his beloved.
Asking her to play together was just a way to rehearse beforehand.
Well, since Nan Chuli came to find her, he must have his own reasons.
The most important thing now is to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain Nan Chuli's blood and confirm his identity.
With a flick of her sleeve, Lu Fuyue conjured a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) in front of the two of them.
