A carriage from the Qingjiang Palace slowly drove out of the palace.

The road in front of the palace was very smooth, and the carriage was stable, but it seemed not so stable because the people in the carriage were always uneasy.

Ying Wuji turned his head and glanced, only to find that Li Caimei was bowing her head, clutching her clothes tightly with ten slender fingers, stirring anxiously. There was both eagerness and fear in her eyes.

It seemed that she was worried about her elder sister.

He couldn't help but ask, "Tang Tang, how long has it been since you last saw your sister?"

"Huh?"

Li Caimei snapped out of her daze and asked, "What did you just ask?"

Zhao Ning sighed lightly, "Since Li Caitan had an accident, they haven't seen each other again."

Ah!

Ying Wuji sighed inwardly. Although Tang Tang was quite mischievous, she was essentially a little girl who grew up under the protection of her family.

But then, everything changed.

In order to save her sister's life, she had been alone in the deep palace for several years. It was indeed cruel.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, what crime did Li Caitan commit that required such a big fuss?"

"Well..."

Zhao Ning and Li Caitan exchanged a glance and said in unison, "It's better for you not to know for now!"

Ying Wuji choked for a moment and quickly said, "Both of you should make it clear. The person standing in front of you now is the Young Master of Daqian, the son-in-law of the Great Li, the disciple of the Great Li Academy's chief teacher, and also the sacrificial wine master of the academy. Are you sure I can't know?"

He was really curious since he found out about Tang Tang's identity. What did Li Caitan do that required such a heavy price, sacrificing her own body, to suppress this matter?

Especially now that it had condensed into a top-grade spiritual fetus.

It was when he was feeling extremely proud.

Was there anything in this world that he was not worthy of knowing?

Zhao Ning was also stunned by his long list of titles. After thinking for a while, he said, "At that time, the matter didn't spread. Only the royal family and the Li family knew about it, so they were able to protect Li Caimei. It's a big deal, so I can't explain it in detail. I can only tell you that it is related to the Yao Clan."

Looking at her secretive expression.

We are "pawread.com", find us on google.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but smirk. Anything related to the Yao Clan was naturally a big deal.

Although there were many powerful figures who kept Yao slaves among the nobles, they were just tools for satisfying their curiosity or absorbing the essence of Yao creatures to break through. When they reached a higher level, there was a chance to comprehend Yao Clan spells.

Even those who bought and sold Yao creatures would never allow them to break through the transformation stage.

If encountered, they would be killed without mercy.

Ying Wuji probably knew the reason before, but he didn't really understand it.

Until Bai Zhi broke through with a top-grade spiritual fetus, he understood that the transformation stage of the human cultivation method was much stronger than the simple transformation of the Yao Clan.

Cultivation could forcibly elevate one's talent by several levels. Were you afraid or not?

If this kind of cultivation method was mastered by the Yao Clan in large numbers, even if there were not many high-level spiritual fetuses, it would still be a disaster.

In terms of reason.

There was nothing wrong with this kind of vigilance.

But... his little Bai Zhi was also a Yao!

Ying Wuji felt a bit panicked. Although his mother's clan was not from the Yao Clan, Bai Zhi was a genuine Yao, and she had broken through the transformation stage with a top-grade spiritual fetus. If this was discovered, wouldn't it be difficult to handle?

Seeing his furrowed brows, Zhao Ning couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ying, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!"

Ying Wuji sighed lightly, "No wonder the charges are so serious. It's difficult to deal with when it's related to the Yao Clan."

...

Li Residence.

Li Caitan lay weakly on the bed, her face barely recovered from the swelling, but still bruised.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The sound of knocking on the door rang three times. Before she could respond, a figure pushed open the door directly.

Li Caitan tilted her head and saw that it was indeed that person. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Dan is really an idle person. He actually comes here every day."

"Bullshit!"

Wu Dan cursed, "I'm very busy. If I leave for a while, those Mohists will cry and beg. It's only because you saved Brother Wuji's life and Brother Wuji doesn't want you to die a horrible death. He asked me to visit you on his behalf. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with the life and death of a trash like you."

He wasn't boasting.

The expedition was imminent, and once successful, it would be a large-scale development period. Countless iron tools were needed, and the Mohist Guild received a large number of orders. They had been working frantically these days.

Ordinary farming tools were fine, and ordinary Mohists could handle them.

But when it came to complex machinery for city construction, there had to be experienced experts to guide them, and Wu Dan was one of them.

"Trash..."Li Caitan muttered to herself. Although she heard this term for the first time, she had a strong sense of familiarity and instantly understood its meaning.

She didn't get angry, but instead chuckled, "Then I have to thank Young Master Dan."

"Don't thank me so soon. Even if you beg me in the future, I won't come!"

Wu Dan impatiently waved his hand, his black eyebrows furrowing. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I heard that your innate spell is charm?"

"Sort of."

Li Caitan asked in return, "What's the matter?"

Wu Dan angrily slapped his thigh, "No wonder my willpower is so strong. I fell for your tricks!"

Li Caitan: "..."

She didn't have the heart to tell this foolish boy that he was the only one she didn't need to use charm on, and he foolishly believed it was true love.

Wu Dan continued to ask, "I also heard that it's because your true energy cultivation is too special that you...that you did those things. Is it true?"

He asked these questions only after forcibly waking up Ying Wuji the night before.

Otherwise, with his current strength and status, it would be difficult for him to know the secret of Primordial True Energy.

The term "scum woman" was also heard from Ying Wuji.

Li Caitan looked at him strangely and found that although he pretended to be indifferent, his acting skills were lacking.

After pondering for a moment, she sneered, "My true energy is indeed special, but conquering men is just a personal hobby of mine. You should also know that we women enjoy changing partners every day, experiencing the excitement. Why? Are men the only ones allowed to roam freely in the flower garden while we women must have deep grievances and reasons?"

A disappointed expression flashed in Wu Dan's eyes.

Immediately, he raised his thumb and laughed heartily, "You really are a scum woman! I won't waste my time talking to you. There are medicine and snacks on the table, as well as the newly released 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.' Get well soon so that I don't have to come here every day. I'm leaving now!"

With that, he stood up and hurriedly walked towards the door.

"Don't leave so soon!"

Li Caitan said in a coquettish voice.

Wu Dan stopped in his tracks and turned around, asking, "What else?"

Li Caitan giggled, "A couple's love deepens with time. Although we haven't spent many days together, we've had many days. Don't you think we have a deep bond? I feel so lonely being locked up here. Your skills in bed are not bad. Why not stay and have some fun with me?"

"You..."

Wu Dan felt a tightness in his chest and turned around to leave in anger.

Li Caitan continued, "I'm still not fully recovered. My body is still burning hot. Don't you want to experience the heat of me? It's really fun!"

"Go to hell, scum woman!"

Wu Dan's temples throbbed with anger as he cursed and slammed the door shut.

"Phew..."

Li Caitan felt a sense of relief as he left in anger, but it was quickly replaced by a strong sense of loss.

She had experienced so many men, but perhaps he was the only one who truly touched her heart.

This hostage from Kingdom Wu, although his cultivation was low and he wasn't particularly good-looking, he was kind-hearted, had a sense of justice, and actively protected the weak. Even his lack of ambition, which she used to find lacking, had changed now.

Although he was a bit foolish, he mostly matched her ideal type from her teenage years.

But now...

It's better to be angry!

It would be best if he never came back.

She could see what his behavior represented.

But she was just a bad woman destined to be stuck in the mud. Why drag him down with her?

Besides, she didn't deserve him in the first place.

If her speculation was correct, she would probably die or be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

She lay quietly for a while.

The sound of the door opening rang out again.

She listened to the footsteps.

Two experts.

Members of the royal family had come.

Were they here to settle the score with her?

Li Caitan's heart sank, but then she felt a sense of relief. It was time for it to end.

She opened her eyes, about to say something about seeking death, but when she saw the person who had come, she quickly swallowed her words.

"Cai Mei?"

Because of excitement and surprise, her voice trembled slightly.

Li Caimei burst into tears and rushed to the bedside, "Sister!"

The two sisters embraced each other, crying and laughing.

After a while, their emotions gradually calmed down.

Li Caitan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Zhao finally allowed you to come and see me! It's also because I spared Ying Wuji's life. I guess that counts as doing something good..."

Ying Wuji?

She suddenly stiffened and turned her head to look at Ying Wuji, who was standing beside her.

The last time she saw this boy, he was still a young man who could be easily controlled.

But this time, there was a sense of wariness in their meeting.

He must have broken through to the Embryo Transformation Realm.

She didn't know what grade his Spirit Embryo had condensed into.

But that clearly wasn't the main issue!

She pulled Li Caimei and whispered in her ear, "Caimei, you're courting death! Don't you understand the situation? As the Crown Princess, having an affair with the husband, it doesn't matter if you kill him, but what will you do if you end up killing yourself?"

She was truly panicked.

In her entire life, besides seeking revenge, the only thing she worried about was her younger sister.Especially Li Caimei, who entered the palace to save her, felt even more guilty towards this younger sister.

If anything happened to Li Caimei, it would be as if the sky had fallen for her.

Ying Wuji!

This man is really ruthless!

Who else would cuckold his uncle right after becoming his son-in-law?

Could there be a second person in the world who is so audacious?

"I, I didn't..."

Li Caimei was about to explain.

Li Caitan became anxious: "Nonsense! If you didn't have feelings for him, how could you possibly give him the Yin-Yang Heart Pendant? This is really too dangerous..."

Li Caimei quickly said, "It's just affection, nothing happened between us!"

"Oh..."

Li Caitan finally breathed a sigh of relief, lowering her voice and said, "That's good, that's good, but you two still need to be careful in the future, don't cross the line that shouldn't be crossed. And the secret of the Yin-Yang Heart Pendant, you must keep it hidden.

I know the pain of unrequited love. If you can't bear the pain of longing, I can teach you an illusion technique. When you're with Zhao Ning, use it on yourself, and you can imagine Zhao Ning as Ying Wuji..."

"Sister!"

Li Caimei was immediately embarrassed.

Ying Wuji also felt a headache listening to this, what kind of lewd talk was this?

He nodded slightly: "Caimei, there is a time limit for your departure from the palace this time. If it takes too long, the Crown Prince might notice. If you two sisters have anything to say, say it quickly. I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he went straight out of the room.

In this situation, it wasn't appropriate for Zhao Ning to intervene. After all, this kind of drama, which seemed like a farce to outsiders, was too much for this era...

No, wait!

This era was even more flamboyant than his previous life.

However, he was the Crown Prince after all. If he appeared in the same frame with him, it would inevitably arouse Li Caitan's suspicion.

"Huh..."

Ying Wuji leaned against the wall, his thoughts a bit complicated.

Whether Li Caitan deserved her punishment or not, he wasn't sure, but Tang Tang was truly unfortunate.

He hoped that this meeting could help her resolve some of her inner conflicts.

The two sisters in the room were whispering to each other.

Although Ying Wuji could clearly hear them if he used his senses, he didn't do so. After all, if it involved his own safety, Tang Tang would definitely tell him.

After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

The door of the room was opened again.

Li Caimei's eyes were red, but her expression was much more relaxed. She smiled and squeezed Ying Wuji's hand: "Go! Ask what you want to ask!"

"Okay!"

Ying Wuji nodded and smiled: "Don't worry! I won't make it difficult for her!"

"I know! Go ahead!"

Li Caimei waved her hand with a smile. She knew that her sister had put Ying Wuji in danger twice, so she wouldn't persuade Ying Wuji to be magnanimous.

Some questions had to be asked.

Having Ying Wuji's promise made her very happy.

Ying Wuji took a deep breath and went straight into the room, standing in front of the bed: "First of all, thank you for sparing my life. However, you have harmed me twice, so after offsetting, you still owe me once. In addition, this time I saved your life, so you owe me twice. Two times, for two questions, I hope you will answer truthfully."

This "mercy of not killing" was not an exaggeration.

Although Li Caitan's spiritual fetus was only of the third grade, her nearly complete mixed Yuan energy was truly a top-tier existence.

At that time, he had not yet broken through, and with the Emperor's Blood and Blood Burning Technique, he could barely fight against a normal third-grade spiritual fetus. But facing her, he could only be abused.

Li Caitan gave a wry smile: "I'm a stray dog, expelled from the Li family, and betrayed my own sect. I may not be able to step out of here in this life. What qualifications do I have to negotiate terms? Just ask, as long as you treat Caimei well, no matter how many questions, I will answer truthfully."

"Very good!"

Ying Wuji nodded in satisfaction.

Her attitude was right!

Having such a person was almost equivalent to having a manual for the sect.

Opportunity knocks but once!

Without hesitation, he asked the first question: "What exactly is the Demon Seed, and can it be resolved?"

Li Caitan didn't hide anything and answered directly: "It can be resolved, but it's very difficult!"

I'm not intentionally leaving you hanging, the effect of the ibuprofen has worn off, and my head is starting to hurt.
