Wedding Night
In the princess's memory, he saw her raising a silkworm demon by her side, who then killed the crown prince in the dead of night.
He conspired with Shangguan Zhi to sabotage his relationship with his senior sister.
Through the princess's eyes, his chin was offended and lifted, forcing him to look her in the eye.
She was a woman with a beautiful appearance and a kind heart. Shangguan Zhi treated her with utmost respect, calling her Sect Leader He.
Their words were full of contempt, and they made disparaging comments about him.
The power flowing through the princess's body startled Yin Lanxin, abruptly interrupting her soul-capturing technique.
Yin Lanxin, thousands of miles away, was watching all of this.
"Good lad," Yin Lanxin exclaimed.
Rong Yan released the princess, knowing that the treasure mirror was not on her, and used the Weeping Sorrow technique to end her life immediately.
The door was flung open, and Shangguan Zhi rushed in, trying to stop him, "Little brother, don't kill her—"
The princess had been knocked unconscious by the power of the talisman and lay on the bed.
After all, she was Li Zhuo's daughter; she couldn't ignore her. To force her out, Rong Yan lost all her temper.
"Sister Fox, are you still going to hide it from me?"
Shangguan Zhi frankly admitted, "I'm sorry, little brother, I shouldn't have let the princess coerce you." The Precious Mirror had been with her the whole time, and she did this only so that she could spend more time with Li Zhuo.
As for that tiger, she deliberately provoked it to test the two of them, so that they could see each other's true feelings.
Unexpectedly, this led the princess to fall in love with Lin Yueyao at first sight.
Rong Yan only realized the significance of these plans after reviewing the princess's memories.
Now that things have come to this, Shangguan Zhi voluntarily handed over the treasure mirror. Before leaving, she tried to salvage the situation by saying, "Little brother, do you harbor any resentment towards your older sister?"
Rong Yan didn't say a word, strode out of the house, and his figure disappeared under the Moonflower Gate.
What Shangguan Zhi really wanted to ask was whether she could get her Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart back.
But now, she has lied to Rong Yan. She has to balance the sect leader's orders with Li Zhuo's personal feelings.
Having obtained the treasure mirror, he saw no need to keep it any longer. Right now, the most important thing was his senior sister, and the prince beside her was a silkworm demon in disguise.
He was seen in the village during his training period. Back then, he didn't have the ability to cope, but now he can stand on his own.
Rong Yan flew on his sword, hurrying towards the direction of the palace.
In the Crown Prince's bedroom, Lin Yueyao sat on the edge of the bed, while the Crown Prince stood awkwardly in the room.
"The Crown Prince seems to be very afraid of me?" Lin Yueyao's face was covered by a veil, so she couldn't see the Crown Prince's expression. He stood there motionless for a long time without making a sound.
"Really?" the crown prince asked in surprise, thinking he had hidden it well.
"Your Highness, do not be afraid, I am not a bad person," Lin Yueyao comforted, sitting upright by the couch with her hands folded on her knees. "Does this make Your Highness feel better?"
This is indeed much better; the Crown Prince doesn't have to look at her face anymore, so he's not so afraid.
Having stood for most of the day just dealing with the palace servants, the Crown Prince's legs were so sore he could barely stand, so he quietly sat down.
Just as she touched the stool, Lin Yueyao spoke up at just the right moment.
The crown prince suddenly stood up, looking ready to pounce at any moment.
"Your Highness has forgotten that we are to drink the nuptial wine tonight." Lin Yueyao stood up, poured a cup of wine for the Crown Prince, and personally served him the wine.
The prince dared not disobey, and swallowed it whole; it was spicy and stimulating.
The wine was drugged, and the prince became dizzy and disoriented, his mind completely blank.
Seeing that he had fallen for it, Lin Yueyao calmly sat back down on the edge of the bed and began to question him one by one.
The fake prince confessed everything, including breaking the cave master's sister's beloved possessions and stealing the cave master's Dust Demon Mirror.
The fake prince in front of her was the one she was looking for. Lin Yueyao was just going through the motions of questioning him when a powerful force suddenly flew into the house from the horizon.
The fake prince, who possessed cultivation, was in a state of confusion. He stood up unsteadily and walked towards her.
The veil was lifted, revealing Rong Yan's furious gaze, while the fake crown prince fell to the ground, wounded by a sword, his blood spreading beneath him, blending seamlessly with his bright red wedding robes.
Rong Yan squinted and said in a pretentious tone, "It was just a slip-up, I hope Senior Sister won't mind."
Lin Yueyao sneered: "Heh."
She abruptly stood up and walked to the shriveled corpse of the fake prince. "He ran away."
"You won't go far," Rong Yan comforted her.
Lin Yueyao was about to chase after him, but Rong Yan stopped her. "Senior sister, could you leave the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart to Shangguan Zhi?"
Rong Yan wanted to try to plead for her, but Lin Yueyao turned her gaze away and said, "Go back and tell her that if it weren't for her involvement in mortal karma, so much trouble wouldn't have happened, and the emperor wouldn't have died so young."
If she were to hand over Linglong Xin, it would likely cause even greater trouble.
She didn't want to cause trouble for herself. She came to the palace to exorcise demons. The silkworm demon who impersonated the crown prince had escaped, and there was also Shangguan Zhi.
For Rong Yan's sake, we can let it go. But this silkworm demon was personally instructed by the city lord. So much time has passed, it's time to give her an explanation.
Lin Yueyao got up and chased after him, flying out of the palace on her sword.
Rong Yan immediately followed, and seeing his senior sister land on the ground, he landed as well.
The silkworm demon was injured and temporarily hid in a house.
It was a grand and wealthy household. It was already late at night, but the candles were still lit in the house. The owner seemed to have just returned from the palace and appeared to be extremely rich and noble.
The scent of the silkworm demon was overwhelmed in the mansion.
Wen Qing followed the trail and sensed the direction of the silkworm demon. Just then, a pair of maids walked out from under the corridor.
The two, dressed in wedding robes and having trespassed, feared causing controversy and hurriedly broke down the door.
Unexpectedly, the maid came towards the room, so Lin Yueyao had no choice but to hide behind the screen with Rong Yan.
Behind the screen was an extremely narrow cubicle. A person standing with their back to the screen would inevitably be pressed against skin, which was quite strange.
It was even more bizarre that they stood back to back, buttocks touching.
They had no choice but to face each other. Lin Yueyao buried her head, while Rong Yan protected her head and held her waist.
He rested his head on her shoulder, and the two of them held their breath.
The maid entered the room and quickly gathered her clothes. When she reached the screen, Rong Yan deliberately gave her a light bite.
Lin Yueyao wasn't afraid of pain, but she was so frightened by him that she lost her balance, causing the curtains to flutter.
Fortunately, the maidservant was not alerted. Lin Yueyao looked up and glared at him, pinching the flesh on her waist with one hand.
Rong Yan winced in pain, his face instantly changing color.
Lin Yueyao said in a tone that, "They're getting more and more outrageous."
"I'll only be presumptuous with my senior sister."
Lin Yueyao showed no mercy, increasing her strength. Rong Yan couldn't bear the pain and blinked, begging for mercy.
He then let go, touched the fabric, and said disdainfully, "Hurry up and take it off."
"My senior sister also said that I was dressed up in a flamboyant way herself," Rong Yan said softly, feeling wronged.
After the maid left, the two came out from behind the screen, and Lin Yueyao pushed him away.
"Senior sister is truly heartless."
Lin Yueyao glared at him and said irritably, "Who gave you permission to make decisions on your own?"
She originally intended to capture the silkworm demon alive and bring it back, but it escaped last time, so she couldn't let her guard down again this time.
That's why we've been planning this all this time – to lull the silkworm demon into a false sense of security.
"I'm worried about Senior Sister, okay? The silkworm demon is so cunning, who knows if she'll do anything to you..." Rong Yan trailed off, finding it difficult to finish his sentence.
"You're so kind, willing to give up your beautiful princess at home?" Lin Yueyao retorted, not to be outdone.
“I don’t like her at all, and she doesn’t like me either. Besides, she’s colluding with Shangguan Zhi and has never had any good intentions towards me. I have nothing to miss.”
Just as Lin Yueyao was about to speak, a maid screamed from outside.
The siblings rushed out of the door. Two maids fell to the ground in the courtyard. In the flower bushes under the eaves, the silkworm demon revealed its true form, covered in blood, and appeared to be an ordinary-looking man.
He is the same person as the man in the scroll.
The two joined forces to subdue the silkworm demon and put it into their personal spirit pouch.
Lin Yueyao still needs to go to Blackwater City, as she promised the city lord.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Rong Yan couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going, Senior Sister?"
"It's inconvenient for you to come along. Once the food is ready, you should return to your sect." After saying that, a sliver of light lingered on the horizon.
The senior sister walked very fast, deliberately not letting him follow.
Having been kidnapped by minotaurs before, Lin Yueyao refused to let him go under any circumstances, and wouldn't utter a single word about it to him.
At that time, the sky was very dark. After chanting a spell, a gate tower rose from the ground.
As you pass through it, you see mirages scattered like stars.
Following my memory, I found the Crystal Palace.
With a strict guard, Lin Yueyao stopped outside the hall and reported to the guard.
When Rong Yan was probing the princess's memories, he alerted Yin Lanxin, who was secretly observing through the princess's eyes. The power that Rong Yan was driving contained an aura that Yin Lanxin was extremely familiar with.
She was completely baffled until she thought of a man she had pursued for many years but had never been able to have a happy ending with.
Qi Chengyan, one of the Four Immortals of Shenyang, is the lord of Blackwater City and the master of Lotus Cave at Shuilu Temple.
She rushed to Blackwater City, intending to confront the other party.
It was their indifference that left Nianci isolated and helpless.
Now that Nianci's child is alive, it's one thing for Xuantian to do nothing, but what does Qi Chengyan mean by this?
Why did he forcibly open Rong Yan's spiritual meridians?
Why did you do this?
Qi Chengyan, on the other hand, spoke with complete confidence and took it for granted, saying, "I just couldn't bear to see this child suffer, so I gave him some pointers."
"What, do you think I'm meddling in other people's business?"
"I never imagined that the City Lord would be so kind-hearted. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the City Lord is heartless and ruthless," Yin Lanxin said coldly, mocking him.
"Can you please change your habit of always yelling at people?" Qi Chengyan had a headache. Women are not to be trifled with, especially persistent and clingy ones.
“That’s just how I am. If you don’t like it, you can shut up.” Yin Lanxin didn’t tolerate him either.
"What exactly do you want to say this time?" He didn't want to say much to her. Some people are better left unsaid. It's always boring to keep bringing up old grievances.
"I'm here to warn you, don't even think about making a move on Rong Yan."
“This child is still young; there are some things he shouldn’t know too early,” Yin Lanxin warned him.
"He should know his own identity, who his father and mother are." Qi Chengyan and his opponent each held their own opinions and refused to give in.
"Knowing too much may not be a good thing. Once he knows about his background, will there still be peace?"
“It’s because of your gossips that Nianci wouldn’t have died, and Rong Yan wouldn’t have been born without a mother.” Yin Lanxin tapped his chest.
Qi Chengyan felt offended and slapped her hand away, saying, "I have my own plans, I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Shadow came to report that Fairy Qinglian was waiting outside.
The two sides stopped talking and realized who Qinglian was.
