Madam Wan felt warm in her heart, "My dear child, you have really grown up. Grandma's love for you is not in vain. You know how to love grandma now."

Wan Ruwei pouted and said, "Grandma always treats me like a child. I am old enough to get married."

Madam Wan sighed, "Yes, you can get married now. Grandma thinks that Master Wen is a good guy with high martial arts skills. He should be able to protect you in the future. Xiaowei, if you really like him, grandma won't stop you."

Wan Ruwei paused as she poured the soup, her voice trembling slightly, "Grandma, didn't you say that he has a three-yin body and is not suitable for marriage?"

"But who can blame my granddaughter for liking him?" Madam Wan touched Wan Ruwei's head. "Grandma has thought about it. Before you get married, I will send someone to find some restraining objects and make them into amulets for you to wear. Then I will use secret methods to help Master Wen change his fate. That should be enough."

"Really, grandma?"

Madam Wan smiled, "Silly child, of course it's true. Well, aren't you going to serve grandma the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup? Bring it here quickly. Grandma is hungry. Eat something and take a nap. You should also go back to bed early."

Wan Ruwei was a little hesitant and didn't hand over the soup. Instead, she lowered her head and said, "Grandma, if I do something wrong, will you blame me?"

Madam Wan laughed, "You have made so many mistakes since you were little. When has grandma ever really blamed you? No matter what, you are grandma's granddaughter, and this will never change. What happened to you today, kid?"

Wan Ruwei shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, grandma, you drink the soup, and I'll help you rest after you finish it."

Madam Wan did not suspect anything and took the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and drank it. Then she rested with Wan Ruwei's service.

That night, everything was quiet, the entire Wanjian Sect was silent. Under the cover of darkness, several figures quietly left, and then the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and soon disappeared without a trace.

It was not until noon of the second day that there was some movement from the Wanjian Sect. The first person to recover was Tong Zesheng, a tall man in his forties. He was currently the strongest person in the Wanjian Sect.

After realizing something was wrong, the first thing he did was to rush into the dungeon. Seeing the empty dungeon, he felt dizzy and hurried to Madam Wan's room. He knocked for a long time before Xiang Ming came over to open the door, rubbing his temple.

Before the door was fully opened, Tong Zesheng pushed it open violently. He didn't care about Xiang Ming who almost fell down due to the strong push. He rushed to Madam Wan's bed and said anxiously: "Madam, Second Junior Brother is missing."

Madam Wan was also rubbing her brows. She was startled when she heard this and asked anxiously, "Why don't you go find it quickly?"

"But the fellow apprentices haven't woken up yet. We... must have been tricked by our junior sister."

"What did you say? Xiaowei?"

Madam Wan suddenly grabbed the edge of the bed, thinking of the bowl of Tremella and lotus seed soup she had last night.

Wan Ruwei had disappeared. She left a letter in the room, saying that she was going out with Wen Rulan to explore the world and asked grandma not to worry. In addition, she didn't want grandma and her fellow apprentices to make a big mistake, so she took her second brother away and told grandma not to look for her. She would come back to apologize to grandma after a while.

Madam Wan sighed and said to Tong Zesheng, "It's good that she's gone. Inform your master. If you want to take action, do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, just give up."

Tong Zesheng's eyes trembled, "Give up? Master has been planning this for so many years..."

"But, it would be good if this thing succeeds. If it fails, Xiao Wei is still so young, and you brothers and sisters, as well as so many people from the Wanjian Sect, I really can't bear it."

Tong Zesheng gritted his teeth and said, "How can those who accomplish great things not make sacrifices? We are not afraid, Grandma, you must also be firm. Have you forgotten how tragically Grandma died?"

Madam Wan thought about how her husband left with regrets and she didn't even see him for the last time. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's do it. Inform Zhuoma and Lijia Village to be prepared. Once we get the news, we will leave immediately."

"Yes."

Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei and their group took Wan Ruwei and Chen Wenguang away from the Wanjian Sect overnight. After meeting up with the Purple Guards, they entered the cave that the Purple Guards had temporarily found and interrogated Chen Wenguang.

After a day of torture, Chen Wenguang was covered in wounds and looked exhausted. He was completely different from the person Chu Yunxi had seen a day ago. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground and seemed unable to sit still. He could only support his body by leaning against the wall.

After Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei settled the garrison brought by the Purple Guards, they came to see Chen Wenguang.

Wan Ruwei already knew the true identities of Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, and told Chen Wenguang. When he heard that the girl who had interrogated him before was actually the Princess of Dingbei, Chen Wenguang was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking. Then he decided to follow Wan Ruwei.

Seeing Chu Yunxi coming over with a handsome man behind her, he had already guessed the other person's identity and said, "Xiao Wei said that you are Dingbei King Xiao Mubei and Dingbei Princess?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Yes, I am Xiao Mubei."

"I've heard of you," Chen Wenguang stared at Xiao Mubei, "You were the one who led the Langya Army to fight against Nandi before."

"Yes, the king. The king has been to Southern Xinjiang before, and has heard of the name of Chen Daxia."

Chen Wenguang was moved. He suddenly stood up and knelt down. "I am Chen Wenguang, the humble servant. I greet His Royal Highness the King of Dingbei. I killed my junior brother on impulse, but I had no choice. Master was planning a rebellion, and I don't want Master to make the same mistake again and start another war in Dasui. My whole family died in the war, and I can't watch the people fall into the flames of war again."

Xiao Mubei had already anticipated that the Wanjian Sect was related to the Emperor Slaying Star, so it was not surprising to hear that Wan Luochen was planning a rebellion. So he asked, "What did you steal from the ancestral hall?"

"A manual of the Thirteen Jade Swords, as well as secret letters from Master to the Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Rui. Their plans are all in it. After I stole it, I hid it in a tree. I took it down when I came out just now. I would like to present it to His Majesty, but I have a request."

Xiao Mubei asked: "What request?"

"If I can successfully stop this turmoil, can Your Majesty spare Junior Sister and the other disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's lives in consideration of my meritorious service in reporting the incident? They are only following orders."

Xiao Mubei said: "If they have no intention of rebellion and have not really participated in it, I will plead with my father and ask for a lighter punishment. As for Wan Ruwei, even the old lady is protecting her and keeping her away from these things. She has made a contribution this time, so I will naturally not make things difficult for her."

Chen Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief, took out the sword manual and letter from his arms and presented them, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
