But this old man did something else: he severed his master-disciple relationship with her! This caused quite a stir in Canglan at the time.
She paused, then continued, "If Elder Jingxuan hadn't been so determined to sever his master-disciple relationship with me, he wouldn't have been sealed in the Heavenly Inquiry Tower for so many years. But after all these years, has the elder still not figured it out?"
"Your Majesty the Empress is of such noble status that this old man is truly unworthy to presume upon her!" Jing Xuan said with a smile. "Now, I have a disciple, that girl from just now. This girl... she looks so much like my deceased eldest disciple! Especially her talent, which is incomparable to ordinary people. Every one of my disciples is a peerless genius, and this is truly my honor!"
"You!" Nalan Yao understood the sarcasm in Jing Xuan's words, and then sneered: "A peerless genius? I wonder if Elder Jing Xuan has ever heard the saying, 'The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.'"
"you!"
Jing Xuan suddenly looked at Nalan Yao.
The other party sneered repeatedly: "I thought the elder could remain so calm."
"If you dare to do anything to Jun'er, I will make you pay the price even if it means my death! I am just an old man with a worthless life. I have already died once, so it doesn't matter if I die again. But Her Majesty the Empress is different."
Seeing Nalan Yao's face darken, Jing Xuan felt extremely pleased. "I know better than anyone how Your Majesty the Empress came to your current position. If the world knew that those honors did not belong to you, and that you were just a thief who stole the achievements of others, I wonder what would happen?"
Long Li is the one who turned the tide and was admitted to Wentian Academy, and he is also the one who became famous for defeating the demon.
Only Long Li is worthy of being her disciple! As for Nalan Yao... she's nothing but a scoundrel who took advantage of others and then acted innocent.
"No one will believe you." Nalan Yao remained calm. Long Li was dead, and there was no way to verify the truth!
"But what if Ah Li hadn't died?"
Jing Xuan said with a smile.
Nalan Yao, who had been trying to remain calm, suddenly changed her expression. Long Li wasn't dead?
How could that be!
"Elder Jingxuan, you should stop daydreaming."
Upon hearing Nalan Yao's words, Jing Xuan simply said, "Whether it's wishful thinking or not, Empress Nalan will find out soon enough."
At this moment, all the disciples had entered the teleportation vortex.
Jingxuan's gaze fell on that red figure. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Empress Nalan, please be respectful."
After saying that, Jingxuan turned and left.
Nalan Yao stood there, her face grim. What did this old man mean? Long Li wasn't dead? But back then... after she regained control of her body, that person clearly told her that Long Li had already died and his soul had vanished.
"Ha, you old fool, you think you can throw me off balance with just a few words? How laughable!"
That little bitch is nothing but a lonely soul.
His soul has long since vanished!
For some reason, the image of the little girl named Jun Qing from earlier appeared in Nalan Yao's mind.
He involuntarily frowned.
Could this Jun Qing be the child who disappeared back then? No, that's impossible.

"What right does she have to be in our group!" Qi Zixian said indignantly. "Your Highness, you're just too kind-hearted."
"Don't say that. We're all from the same academy. Besides, Miss Jun is an alchemist. She might be able to help us," Feng Wan said with a smile.
Qi Zixian didn't take it seriously and muttered to herself, "She's probably secretly happy! As long as she's in our group, I just hope she doesn't drag us down."
The disciples passed through the teleportation array and entered the spiritual realm. Looking around, they saw layers upon layers of high mountains and towering trees, forming the most pristine dense forests.
Before everyone could react, a colossal beast charged at them.
"It's a Celestial-Rank Magical Beast!"
Everyone was startled and quickly took action.
Soon, the Heavenly Rank magical beast was repelled, letting out a low roar as it glared menacingly at the disciples before its long tail swept across.
"You beast, how dare you be so insolent!" Feng Wan shouted, then raised her longsword and charged forward.
Seeing this, the other cultivators surrounded the demonic beast, and before long, the beast was unable to withstand the attack and fled in panic.
Several disciples suffered minor injuries.
"Thanks to Your Highness!"
"If it weren't for Your Highness, we might have really been devoured by this beast."
"yes."
Feng Wan sheathed her sword and looked at Jun Liuyue: "Miss Jun, are you alright?"
"No." Liu Yue yawned.
Feng Wan smiled and nodded: "That's good."
"Your cultivation level is clearly very high, why didn't you make a move just now?" Qi Zixian couldn't help but ask.
"Instead, you hide in the back, acting like a coward! Could it be..." Qi Zixian paused, then teased, "Could it be that all your talent is fake?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Jun Liuyue.
I didn't see her make a move just now.
"Yes, they're all fake. Do you want to try?" The girl raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
Qi Zixian's heart skipped a beat at that casual glance, and she involuntarily took a step back.
Before she could say anything, Jun Liuyue turned and left.
“Miss Jun, please don’t misunderstand, that’s not what she meant,” Feng Wan quickly said.
He looked at Qi Zixian and said, "Why don't you apologize to Miss Jun right now?"
Qi Zixian's eyes widened. His Highness actually wanted her to apologize to this little bitch?
How could that be! No matter what, Qi Zixian is the eldest daughter of the Qi family. How could she apologize to this unknown little bitch?
“We’re all from the same academy, you really shouldn’t be making such assumptions,” Feng Wan said in a deep voice. “Apologize.”
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
Qi Zixian said through gritted teeth, already hating Jun Liuyue.
"Has Miss Qi not eaten? Why is your voice so soft?" Liu Yue leaned against the tree trunk, looking at Qi Zixian with a teasing gaze.
"You!" Qi Zixian's blood surged.
I wish I could pounce on Jun Liuyue and tear her to pieces.
I don't know what got into His Highness, that he actually sided with Jun Liuyue.
"I'm sorry!" This time, the voice was much louder than before.
Liu Yue chuckled softly, her gaze sweeping over Feng Wan.
"It's getting late, let's rest here tonight."
Feng Wan spoke.
