"Haha, okay... just for what you said, I accept you as my brother."
Ye Qiu laughed and said with great approval.
Hearing these words, Bai Junlin was even more delighted and extremely happy.
"Hey, big brother! Don't worry, from now on if you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west."
"Let me lead the charge for you, big brother. I want to see what kind of monsters and demons are wreaking havoc on the world."
Bai Junlin was in high spirits and extremely confident at this moment.
The few of them said goodbye to Chief Bai Ze and soon set out on the journey to the Fire Region.
Along the way, Ye Qiu saw many creatures of all kinds, including some familiar faces.
For example, some of the opponents he met in the Red Dragon Mountains and who had been beaten up by him.
It’s a pity that Ye Qiu at that time was appearing in the image of Qi Wuhui, so they couldn’t recognize Ye Qiu at all.
"Master, this is the Fire Nation Palace."
Arriving at a splendid and majestic ancient city with blazing flames everywhere, Yaya introduced it excitedly.
This is her home, the home where she has lived since she was a child. This is her first time returning home since she became Ye Qiu's apprentice. She can't help but feel excited. Along the way, she kept introducing some stories and legends of the Fire Region to Ye Qiu.
Looking at the heavily guarded and patrolled palace in front of him, Ye Qiu couldn't help but frown.
The impact of this attack must have been significant, as it has made the Jiang family of the Fire Nation so prepared.
After a few brief observations, Ye Qiu had already noticed that there were several extremely sharp eyes in the palace. Their restrained aura was hidden very well, but Ye Qiu still felt it.
"A powerful celestial being?"
"Hmm... It seems that the Fire Nation has indeed suffered an extremely heavy blow this time, otherwise it would not be so on high alert. The whole country is tense and ready for a war at any time."
Thinking secretly in his heart, Ye Qiu signaled Yaya to go and negotiate and let them enter the palace.
Although with his strength, he could just barge in at will, there was no need to do so.
Because he came here as a guest this time, there was no need to do this and it would be impolite.
After receiving a signal from her master, Yaya hurried forward and negotiated with the guard at the gate.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step forward, the guard in front of him instantly locked his cold eyes on him, picked up his weapon in an instant, and shouted: "The palace is forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter!"
Because of the long-term tense emotions, the guards became extremely serious and would order the visitors to leave no matter who they were.
Seeing this, Yaya frowned, obviously frightened by the murderous intent just now, and immediately took out her princess token.
"How dare you! Open the door for me..."
The princess token appeared, and in an instant... the faces of all the guards present changed suddenly.
Although they had just been transferred here to guard the gate, they still recognized the token of the Jiang family's relatives.
The piece that Yaya holds is exactly the token of Princess Jiang.
Seeing the token, all the guards changed their expressions instantly. They all bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"During this special period, we are also following orders. We apologize for any offense we have just caused. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
The leading officer guard apologized, then turned back and said to the guards behind him: "Open the door!"
As soon as the words fell, the magnificent door opened instantly, and Yaya didn't bother with them.
She was not so stingy as to say this, and she really appreciated their behavior in her heart.
After all, they all served the Fire Nation loyally and dutifully, so there was nothing wrong with that.
"Master, let's go in."
Yaya turned around and said to Ye Qiu that when she saw the guards were so nervous, she couldn't help but worry about her father's condition.
After all, she had never seen such a serious scene across the Fire Nation.
There must have been some major changes in the palace, which caused such a reaction.
And the only person who could cause such a change was her father.
Ye Qiu also noticed it. He turned around and looked at Bai Junlin, then silently followed Yaya into the palace.
"Brother, it looks like this Fire Emperor must be seriously injured."
"The whole country is on high alert. Could it be... a coup?"
Bai Junlin was a little skeptical. Although he was far away from the world, it didn't mean he didn't understand these things.
Ye Qiu was also thoughtful. What Bai Junlin said was just as he had guessed.
"Well, you'll know when you go in and take a look."
Walking towards the magnificent hall, there was a soldier leading the way.
He did not take Ye Qiu and the others to the Zhengda Guangming Hall, but went to the Tai'an Hall.
When Ye Qiu saw the three big characters "Tai'an Hall" written on the plaque, he immediately understood that the Fire Emperor must be dying.
They arrived at the front of the Tai'an Hall. There were thousands of people crowded in front of the hall. They were at a loss and stood guard at the door, not knowing what to do.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Standing guard in front of the palace gate, a handsome young man with extraordinary temperament paced back and forth, his face full of worry.
"Brother, a few days ago, I sent a messenger to Tiansheng Mountain to tell Auntie what happened at home, but Auntie has not returned yet."
"In the current situation, my father is seriously injured and cannot afford to die. Our Fire Nation is in danger. The country cannot be without a leader for a day. As the crown prince, you should shoulder this important responsibility and take charge of the overall situation."
Looking at his eldest brother Jiang Ming in front of him, Jiang Tao said sincerely, praying that the prince would take the throne and take charge of the overall situation.
When Jiang Ming heard this, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, extremely heavy.
He is still so young, how could he withstand such pressure.
But looking back at his brothers and kings behind him, and seeing their expectant eyes, Jiang Ming had to bear it all silently.
He is the eldest son and the crown prince! When the Fire Nation is in trouble, he must take responsibility for everything.
At this moment, Jiang Ming felt extremely heavy in his heart. He prayed constantly in his heart, hoping that his aunt could return from Tiansheng Mountain as soon as possible.
Only in this way can he have a backbone! However, after Jiang Linger suffered a setback in the Bu Tian Holy Land last time, she returned to Tiansheng Mountain and went into seclusion.
She had no idea what was happening in the Fire Nation, and Jiang Ming had to handle this life-and-death situation alone.
Jiang Ming was extremely haggard at this moment. He was worried about his father in Tai'an Palace, and was also concerned about the purgatory that the people of the Fire Nation were suffering outside the Fire Region.
"Report... to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Her Royal Highness the Princess has returned."
At this time, a voice came from outside.
When Jiang Ming heard those words, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has returned," his desperate heart seemed to be awakened with hope, and he was overjoyed.
"Aunt is back?"
He couldn't believe it. There were only two princesses in the Fire Kingdom, the eldest princess Jiang Ling'er, and the other was Jiang Yaya, their biological sister.
When they heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess had returned, they almost stopped thinking about Yaya and thought it was Jiang Linger who had returned. Everyone was overjoyed and went out of the hall to greet her.
"Quick, please ask Auntie to come in and take charge of the situation."
Jiang Ming called out loudly, and the kings reacted immediately and were about to go out to greet him.
But unexpectedly, the person who walked in was not Jiang Ling'er, but a slightly childish Jiang Yaya in a red robe...
