In his mind, Bai Jin looked at 66, who was sleeping soundly every day. He kicked him, then grabbed 66's shoulders and shook him again and again, asking, "66, 66, you kid, wake up!"

66 got used to being rocked by Bai Jin and slowly woke up: "What's wrong, host?"

Bai Jin asked, "Why is it that when Jiang Yunjiu is next to me, a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing stage can beat me without any chance of fighting back, but when I'm alone, I can easily deal with a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing stage?"

66 said: "Host, you are originally a bug, but when you are with the heroine, you are a supporting role. So when the heroine is around, the heaven will suppress and balance your strength to a certain extent, otherwise the order of the world will be disrupted."

Bai Jin frowned. "Doesn't that mean I can't perform well as long as Jiang Yunjiu is around? What kind of bug is that?"

66 shrugged helplessly: "Host, this is also to maintain the rationality of the world."

Bai Jin was too lazy to care about these things. He said goodbye to 66 and left, then went to find Jiang Yunjiu.

When they arrived at the cave entrance, Jiang Yunjiu was about to attack, but Bai Jin said it was me. Jiang Yunjiu then realized that Bai Jin had not abandoned him.

Jiang Yunjiu slowly lowered the weapon in his hand, a subtle hint of relief flashing across his face, but he quickly returned to his usual indifferent expression: "You still remember to come back."

Bai Jin smiled and walked into the cave: "How could I abandon you? I just solved the problem of the Crossing Tribulation Stage."

Jiang Yunjiu wondered how Bai Jin had defeated that powerful man, considering he lacked spiritual power. But she didn't ask. She just looked at Bai Jin quietly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Bai Jin seemed to sense Jiang Yunjiu's doubts, but he didn't explain much. He just said, "Don't think too much about it. Let's get going."

What they didn't know was that during the assassination attempt, there was a powerful Mahayana cultivator secretly observing them.

This powerful man hid in the dark and had a panoramic view of the battle between Bai Jin and the Tribulation Crossing cultivator.

After seeing Bai Jin easily kill the cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, a hint of surprise and vigilance flashed in the eyes of the Mahayana Stage expert.

Without further delay, the Mahayana expert turned and left, ready to report the situation to the mastermind behind the incident. His figure flashed, disappearing from the spot like a ghost.

Bai Jin and Jiang Yunjiu knew nothing about this and were on their way to Yangluo City.

In the palace

Inside the magnificent imperial study, the air was filled with the scent of sandalwood. The emperor sat on a carved dragon throne, his face gloomy as he stared ahead.

"You said that you saw the Third Prince, a person with no cultivation, kill a person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage?" The emperor asked the Mahayana cultivator who was clasping his fists in front of him, with a hint of disbelief and a hint of vigilance in his voice.

The Mahayana cultivator nodded and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. The Third Prince used some unknown means to kill the Tribulation Crossing cultivator in a very short time. His strength is far greater than what appears on the surface."

The emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his eyes flickering. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Go away. This matter must not be made known to the public."

The Mahayana monk replied "yes" and turned to leave the imperial study.

In the empty imperial study, the emperor stood up and paced back and forth. "I didn't expect, Third Brother, that you're the one hiding the most," the emperor muttered to himself. "I always thought you were just an idle prince with no ambition, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. It seems I have to re-evaluate you..."

The breeze outside the window gently blew the curtains, and the emperor's figure seemed even more unfathomable in the light and shadow.

Arriving in Yangluo City, it was even hotter than the capital, as it was close to the desert. The sun was high in the sky, and waves of scorching heat came one after another, as if scorching the earth.

Bai Jin, who was already quite sensitive to the heat, was now complaining even more. His face flushed red, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat. He was very close to Jiang Yunjiu, practically following her wherever she went.

Jiang Yunjiu looked at Bai Jin who was following him like a little tail, and said helplessly: "Bai Jin, could you please stop following me all the time? It's so hot."

Bai Jin looked at her pitifully and said, "Yunjiu, you have an ice-type spiritual root, so it's cool around you. If I were closer to you, I wouldn't feel so hot. Please be kind and don't chase me away."

Jiang Yunjiu rolled her eyes, but didn't really push him away. The two of them walked along the streets of Yangluo City. People were busy walking around, and street vendors were shouting loudly to sell various goods.

Bai Jin followed Jiang Yunjiu while looking around: "This Yangluo City is really ridiculously hot. I don't know whether it is right for us to come here."

Jiang Yunjiu said, "Now that we're here, let's make the best of it. Let's find a place to settle down first."

Bai Jin nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Okay, but I don't know anyone here, where can I find a place to stay?"

Jiang Yunjiu looked around and pointed to an inn not far ahead that looked relatively clean: "Let's go there first."

The two walked into the inn. There weren't many people in the inn, but there were a few tables of guests dining and drinking. The innkeeper saw the guests coming in and immediately greeted them warmly, "Gentlemen, are you here for a quick meal or to stay the night?"

Jiang Yunjiu said, "Let's stay in the hotel. Give us two upper rooms."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Oh, sir, I'm so sorry, our shop has been crowded with customers recently and there is only one room left."

Bai Jin heard this and replied, "One room is better than none."

Jiang Yunjiu glared at Bai Jin, but there was nothing else she could do, so she said, "Okay then."

The shopkeeper smiled and led them to the room, which was neatly decorated. As soon as Bai Jin entered the room, he collapsed on the bed: "Oh, finally I can cool down."

Jiang Yunjiu pulled him up with disgust: "Get up and go wash your face first, you are so dirty."

Bai Jin got up reluctantly, walked to the washbasin and washed his face roughly.

The two of them took a break. It was evening, so the heat wasn't that hot anymore. The temperature dropped quickly.

They arrived at a teahouse where many people were gathered to listen to the story of the resistance army. Bai Jin walked in curiously and saw a familiar-looking woman telling the story.

The woman, dressed in a light blue gown with her hair simply tied up, had a bright and determined look in her eyes. She stood on the stage, holding a folding fan in her hand, and vividly recounted the deeds of the resistance army.

Bai Jin pulled Jiang Yunjiu to sit at a table near the corner. He carefully examined the woman on the stage, wondering why she looked so familiar. A light bulb went off in his head, and he remembered where he had seen her before.
