Chu Liuyue felt that she had faintly detected a huge scheme.

A gust of cold air traveled from the bottom of her feet all the way to the top of her head, causing her to feel very uncomfortable.

She poured a cup of tea for herself and moisturized her rather dry throat. How am I supposed to tell the elders about this? Just talking about it Is baseless. If I can’t produce evidence, nobody will believe me. Perhaps they might even think that my brain has issues, but if I just allow them to continue… I feel very uneasy. 

Chu Liuyue slowly rubbed the cup in her hands and said after a long while, “How do I prove that I have the true Heavenly Square Cauldron in my body?”

The legendary three-eyed eagle paused for a moment before saying, “You think that something that could suppress me for a thousand years is fake?”

Chu Liuyue was speechless for a moment.

“Besides, don’t forget that it once suppressed a great phoenix dragon’s skeleton and is currently sealing two Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds.”

Taking out any of them was hard evidence! In this world, not more than five people could do such a thing!

Chu Liuyue sighed. “You’re right. I was thinking too much.”

“The Heavenly Square Cauldron is an absolute treasure; it’s much stronger than your Chi Xiao Sword. So no matter what, you can’t reveal this news now. If not, you’ll attract all sorts of flies!” warned the legendary three-eyed eagle.

“I understand.” Chu Liuyue finished the last bit of her tea. “I’ll think of another way.”

…

Tianling Dynasty, Shaoyue Palace.

It was already late at night, and the moon was hanging bright in the sky.

Octagonal crystal lanterns were hanging outside the palace. The candles burned and increased the length of one’s shadow.

Shangguan You stood on the stairs before the door. He looked at the moon and sighed lowly. “I wonder how Yue’er is doing there now…”

Calculating the time, it has already been a few months. Other than a few correspondent letters in between, I haven’t received any other news. As time passed, he was getting anxious.

“Your Majesty, Her Highness is now the Sky-Cloud Empire’s Princess Consort and enjoys a distinguished status. Besides, that person is protecting her. You don’t have to worry.” Behind Shangguan You, Cen Yi was wearing a stone-colored robe. He looked calm, and his narrow eyes were nonchalant without a ripple.

“That’s exactly why I’m especially worried!” Shangguan You shook his head and sighed. “I didn’t expect Rong Xiu to have such a shocking status… Yue’er’s identity will be questioned by many people…”

It had been a long time since he received the news, but every time he thought about it, Shangguan You would be very affected. “She’s alone over there. If she gets bullied…”

In the Tianling Dynasty, Yue’er is the distinguished new empress above millions of people. But over there, all of this isn’t worth a mention. 

He knew too well how important background was in a place like that. If she suffers any grievances… We are miles apart, and there will be nobody to stand up for her. Even though Rong Xiu can help her, he can’t take care of her all the time, right? 

All parents were worried about their children.

Thinking of this, Shangguan You couldn’t help but turn around. “Cen Yi, do you have any ways of going over?”

It would be better with one additional person around. 

Cen Yi paused for a moment and said, “Her Highness never gave such an order.”

Shangguan You felt rather helpless. The Thirteen Yue Guard only listens to Yue’er, and even I can’t command them. But in the entire Tianling Dynasty, I only trust these few people. 

Cen Yi said again, “We’re loyal to Her Highness, and her safety is definitely our priority.”

Hearing this, Shangguan You felt slightly more at ease. “That’s good, that’s good…”

As he spoke, he left with his hands behind his back.

After sending the former emperor out for a distance, Cen Yi returned to Shaoyue Palace again. In the end, he met Qi Han, who came back in a hurry.

“Big Brother, there’s a situation.”

Cen Yi squinted his eyes slightly. “Say it.”

Qi Han’s gaze was serious, and the scar on his face looked much more murderous. “Someone went to Country Yao Chen and seemed to be secretly investigating Her Highness. Also, the other party is very strong. We paid quite a high price to settle him, but… The other party doesn’t seem like he will just stop there.”

Cen Yi knitted his brows. “Have you found out who it is?”

Qi Han hesitated for a moment. “It seems like… someone from that side.”

If not, I really can’t think of someone else who can be so powerful. Qi Han hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and said, “However, there also seems to be someone protecting us.”

Cen Yi wasn’t surprised about this as he said, “He should be the one protecting Her Highness. Just do whatever you did previously. Also, add more manpower on Country Yao Chen’s side. With that person helping, there shouldn’t be much of an issue.”

“Yes!”

Qi Han was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Big Brother, are we really going to stay here and wait the whole time?”

Her Highness has gone to the God Residence Realm for so long, and we don’t know how she’s doing now… 

Cen Yi shook his head. “We just need to do what Her Highness instructed us.”

Qi Han could only acknowledge it. After jumping around a few times, his body quickly disappeared into the night sky.

Cen Yi thought for a moment and walked in another direction.

…

Night.

After sending away the last customer, the Hundred Herbs Building was about to close when a man in a black cape appeared at the door.

The pageboy instinctively said, “We’re closed for the day. Guest, please come again tomorrow!”

The man at the door had a cold voice. “I’m here to see Yue Ling.”

In Xi Ling, not many people dared to call Hundred Herbs Building’s general manager by his actual name.

The pageboy was taken aback and hurriedly looked up.

However, the incoming person was completely hidden with the cape, and he was even wearing a hood. One couldn’t recognize his appearance at all.

The pageboy immediately felt alert. “You are—”

“Invite the important guest up,” yelled Yue Ling, who was standing on the second floor.

The pageboy immediately put a smile on his face. “Please, go up—”

That man moved his foot slightly. Without even seeing how exactly he moved, he had already passed the pageboy and went up the stairs.

The pageboy turned around in shock. This…

“You are dismissed,” instructed Yue Ling.

The pageboy knew in his heart that he shouldn’t stay, so he acknowledged the order and quickly left.

On the second floor, Yue Ling directly guided the other party to a room.

After closing the door and the windows, the two men faced each other.

Yue Ling sat down freely, smiled, and said, “You haven’t looked for me in a few years. Why did you suddenly have the urge today?”

The man opposite him took down his hood. It was Cen Yi, who had just left the palace!

Cen Yi’s expression was nonchalant as he said succinctly, “I came here to work with you.”

Strangeness flashed across Yue Ling’s eyes. “Work? You? With me?”

Cen Yi looked at him silently. “Someone is checking on Her Highness’s identity. I need to borrow your people.”

Yue Ling naturally understood that he was referring to Chu Liuyue. He nonchalantly replied, “My people aren’t cheap.”

Cen Yi suddenly laughed. “Shouldn’t it be a given for His Grace’s people to do such a thing?”
