Tian Ning's words surprised Ji Tingwan.
Her?
On the way, Ji Tingwan seemed lost in thought, remaining silent alone the entire time.
Tianning didn't disturb her. The process of a person's cognition being shattered and rebuilt after being hit is an extremely painful one, just like Chen Nianyi and Princess Shuwan back then.
After all this commotion, it was already getting light.
When they returned to Jingguan Temple, they saw soldiers surrounding the place where Chen Nianyi lived, even from a distance at the foot of the mountain.
"not good!"
Ji Tingwan quickened her pace as she jogged. She recognized the soldiers; they were from the Eastern Palace!
Sure enough, when she came out of the house panting, she saw Ji Qianqiu leading a group of people and demanding angrily, "Chen Nianyi, what have you done to my daughter?!"
Princess Shuwan has already returned. Chen Nianyi, wearing the long robe that Coral had given her, said calmly, "She went out for a stroll with a young girl and will be back soon."
"You think I'd believe your nonsense? So many years have passed, if you come back to take revenge on me, I'll accept it! But the children are innocent, and the grudges of our previous generation shouldn't involve them..."
Ji Qianqiu was clearly convinced that it was Shen Nian who had made the move against Ji Tingwan.
Surprisingly, in addition to the soldiers from the Eastern Palace, she was accompanied by Duanmu Qiao and his entourage, as well as several cultivators with some cultivation level.
When Ji Tingwan arrived, panting, she saw this scene. Her face flushed with embarrassment. Shen Nianyi hadn't done anything to her; she had run away on her own...
“Mother…” Ji Tingwan called out quickly.
Ji Qianqiu's angry expression softened when he saw Ji Tingwan.
Over the years, she has given birth to four children, three sons and one daughter. Ji Tingwan is her daughter whom she finally had. When she learned that her daughter was missing, she was almost frantic with worry!
"Tingwan, are you alright... Let your mother see you!"
Ji Qianqiu carefully checked his daughter over and, after confirming that she was alright, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She pulled Ji Tingwan behind her to protect her, and quickly said to Duanmu Qiao and the other cultivators, "Esteemed immortals, my daughter has been found. As for the sinner Chen Nianyi, I will leave him to you to deal with."
"Mother, it's not about being in deep thought..."
"Don't worry about Tingwan, Mom will take you home first..."
At this moment, a cultivator pointed directly at the room where hundreds of vengeful spirits were imprisoned and angrily said to Shen Nian, "You old woman, you have committed countless evils, raising vengeful spirits and causing chaos in the human world. You are truly intolerable to Heaven!"
"In order to protect the people, we have been entrusted by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to eliminate you!"
His words were so impassioned that Duanmu Qiao also stepped forward and produced a portrait of Xu Jiaojiao: "Have you seen my junior sister? Did you arrest her?!"
Upon seeing that familiar portrait, Shen Nian said bluntly, "Why don't you ask the people around you? Aren't they the ones who know best?"
"You're talking nonsense!" the Crown Prince's confidant quickly said.
Helian Boda, standing next to Duanmu Qiao, couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "We can't jump to conclusions just because we've only heard one side of the story from these people..."
Duanmuqiao's mental state has not been very good these past few days. In order to find Xu Jiaojiao, he often loses his usual composure when doing things.
Yesterday, they entered the capital and searched for a long time but could not find any trace of Xu Jiaojiao. Later, someone said that they saw a notice posted that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were gathering cultivators with cultivation to fight against evil cultivators.
Sensing something amiss with the notice, the disciples decided to take it down to see what the Crown Prince and his wife were up to. How could these evil cultivators in the mortal realm be so arrogant?
The officials were very welcoming to them, repeatedly calling them immortals.
The Crown Prince even personally received them.
Upon seeing Xu Jiaojiao's portrait, one of the Crown Prince's confidants said he had seen this face before!
The Crown Prince immediately stated that since Chen Nian returned to the capital, the evil cultivators have become increasingly rampant, even reaching out to cultivators who come to the mortal realm for training!
He has gathered everyone here today specifically to find the missing people and completely annihilate Chen Nianyi!
Compared to Duanmuqiao, the others were more rational.
Zhou Han had warned Duanmu Qiao long ago: "The sect leader said not to easily get involved in human karma."
Cultivators are powerful, and even though they are suppressed in the mortal realm, they are still beyond the capabilities of ordinary mortals. Having just entered the mortal realm, they are unaware of the situation and their greatest fear is being used...
The Crown Prince seemed to sense their hesitation and said that the operation would take place tonight, and that they could reconsider before the assembly.
He made it seem as if he wouldn't force the guests, and even very politely instructed his servants to treat these distinguished guests well!
The group had a good impression of the Crown Prince, especially after touring the bustling capital. Before nightfall, the officials showed them the girls' school, the modern hot pot restaurant, and the gunpowder workshop established by the Crown Prince and his wife.
