This was the second major defeat for the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.
He was defeated by the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect the first time and by the Jade Spirit Palace the second time. But unlike the first time, the Jade Spirit Palace did not pursue the fleeing Yun Qin soldiers.
This order not to pursue and kill came from Qinghe, the current true controller of the Jade Spirit Palace.
"Senior Sister, this damned Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty has been confirmed to be colluding with the alien races. Countless years ago, they joined forces with the alien races to plot against my Jade Spirit Palace. Not only did all the ancestors of my Jade Spirit Secret Realm perish as a result, but now they have even sent a million-strong army into my Jade Spirit Palace territory. If I don't annihilate them all here, I won't be able to swallow this anger..."
Elder Mingzhi, known for his fiery temper, spoke loudly to Qinghe with a look of indignation.
"They cannot escape; their demise is inevitable."
Seeing Elder Mingzhi's puzzled expression, Qinghe spoke again calmly.
"Do you think the Dao Sect's little princess came to the Jade Spirit Palace just to help?"
"She had foreseen everything long ago, and even knew about it when I returned to the Imperial Land. But she only chose to show herself after I killed Yu Lingying. Have you ever wondered why?"
These words stunned Elder Mingzhi, who had a fiery temper. She had never thought of this before, and even if she had, she wouldn't have understood it.
Elder Xiao Rong stepped forward and looked at Qing He.
"Senior sister, are you saying it's related to His Highness the Crown Prince of Daqi?"
Qinghe smiled faintly upon hearing this.
"If she finds out that I can't even handle Yu Lingying, she won't even bother to show herself, because trash and useless people don't even have the right to stand in front of her."
"Her decision to come here in person was more of a test."
These words startled Xiao Rong and the others. A test?
Who is being tested? What is being tested?
But Qinghe didn't explain the meaning of those words, because only she understood that the little princess of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect, the current Crown Princess of His Highness, had come here personally to test her.
What is being tested?
Of course, it's because she knows her feelings for His Highness, and her choice to show herself has already sent a clear signal to him.
“I made it clear to you when I returned that I am not only Qinglan of Yuling Palace, but also a person of Daqi. Therefore, Yuling Palace will also become under the command of Daqi. You can choose to be with me, or you can lead Yuling Palace alone and form your own faction.”
As she spoke, she looked at Mingzhi, Xiaorong, and Diewu in front of her.
"I will never force anyone to stop me, but if Jade Spirit Palace is in trouble, I will definitely return to slay the enemy."
This was something Qinghe had told them when she first returned, and now, it was truly time to make a choice.
Both Yuling Palace and Daqi were equally important to her, and she understood even more clearly that only by having Yuling Palace join Daqi could it survive in this treacherous situation.
However, if Xiao Rong and the others are unwilling to do so, she will never force them to do anything, so the choice is left to them.
As long as I am here, even if Jade Spirit Palace is unwilling to join Daqi, Your Highness will choose to help Jade Spirit Palace when it is in trouble.
"Senior sister, we will listen to you, but if that Crown Prince of Daqi is not as outstanding as you say, I will turn against him on the spot."
It was Mingzhi, the one with the most fiery temper, who spoke up.
Xiao Rong and Die Wu smiled slightly after hearing these words.
"Senior sister, we believe in your choice, but if you join Daqi, will the name of our Jade Spirit Palace be erased?"
"No, Your Highness will not abolish the name of Jade Spirit Palace. Only by joining Daqi can the name of Jade Spirit Palace exist forever."
After Qinghe finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it, and three golden rays of imperial energy fell into the bodies of the three people.
"With the passing of our ancestors, the foundation of Jade Spirit Palace is gone. You must seize the time to improve your cultivation and rectify the sect's atmosphere. A great battle could break out at any moment. I'm going to see His Highness now. You can wait for me to return."
Just as Qinghe was about to leave, Mingzhi asked again.
"Senior sister, are you really just going to let those Yunqin soldiers escape unscathed?"
Upon hearing this, Qinghe turned to look at Mingzhi.
"Do you think the Dao Sect's little princess, who seems to have an infallible plan, would let them go back alive?"
...
"They have no morals at all! After we finished fighting for them, they didn't even say thank you. Not only did they not offer us tea to soothe our throats, they even activated the mountain gate's grand formation, effectively shutting us out. The Jade Spirit Palace is truly unethical."
Looking at the muttering Xiao Liu, Xiao Jiu let out a cold snort.
"Liu Zi, you probably weren't after tea, but rather you were after the female disciples of Yu Ling Palace. I saw you jumping around and teasing them until they were shaking with excitement. I didn't expect that you weren't just being cynical; your little schemes are quite wicked as well."
Xiao Liu was very indignant about this.
“Ninth Master, didn’t you say that you and Saintess Qinglan were childhood sweethearts who grew up together? Now you’re keeping her out of the formation. Besides, look at that female disciple Xiao Wan, her eyesight isn’t much worse than mine.”
These words enraged Xiao Jiu.
"It's Qinghe. This is the name the young master gave her. And I'm talking about growing up together. When did we start talking about childhood sweethearts? If we're talking about childhood sweethearts, it's the young master. Damn it, you squinty-eyed little sixth brother, you're quite good at stirring up trouble."
After saying that, he pointed to Qin Feng, who was grinning broadly beside him.
"It's not that Ah Feng and I can't go in, but we are ordered by my Crown Princess to meet with that bastard Ling Qi and then wipe out all those bastards from the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty."
Then he turned to look at Sheng Lingxiao, who was also grinning broadly.
"What the hell are you laughing at?"
Crack! Upon hearing this, Sheng Lingxiao clenched his fist and looked at Yi Jiu as well.
"What, want to practice?"
“Practice is a must. After I meet the young master, I will come to you first. I want you to know why Ninth Master is so arrogant.”
"Oh, but what I really want to know is, why are you so arrogant?"
...
In the end, Ye Boqi decided to talk to his father.
No matter what, he's my father, so even if I'm just pretending to be filial, I still have to put on an act.
Now that I have a wife, I have to tell my father, but I won't trouble him with naming our future children.
After exchanging greetings and being offered tea, I briefly recounted what had happened since I left home, and then listened to my father's teachings.
But his father's first words made Xiao Boqi's eyebrows twitch violently.
"You son of a bitch."
Perhaps realizing his own rudeness after scolding himself, Xiao Jiusheng took a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment before continuing.
"I don't care if you get married, and I can't control it. The most important thing is that she has such good qualities and chose you. You have to treat her wholeheartedly. If you dare to have any ulterior motives, I'll kill you right now."
These words filled Ye Boqi with awe for his father; only a responsible and dependable man could utter such concise and meaningful words.
But his father's second sentence instantly dispelled the awe that had just arisen in Ye Boqi.
"When are you going to marry Xiao Gu, You Li, Miao Ru, and Qing He?"
"Oh, by the way, I think that little girl named Bai Qian is not bad either, let's marry her too."
