It was already late at night when Ye Wanqing returned to the small courtyard where Jiang Xu was temporarily renting.

"Master."

Jiang Xu suddenly jumped down from the roof, clearly having been waiting for a long time. He also sensed that the spiritual energy within Ye Wanqing was even stronger than before, and he was overjoyed. "Master, you've made another breakthrough! Congratulations, Master!"

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, by the way, Master, Princess Nanxu of the royal family just came over and said that His Majesty Emperor Liu wants to see you tomorrow."

I think the royal princess has already recognized me.

Thinking of the undercurrent between Emperor Liu and the head of the Wei family at the competition venue today, she curled her lips slightly. Perhaps the royal family would be a good starting point for investigating the Wei family's magic grass.

"I understand. Also, be careful during this period. The Wei and Qi families have wicked ambitions. If there are any problems, send a message to Hai Li with your spiritual sense and I will know."

Ye Wanqing tossed Jiang Xu a few recently refined perfect-grade pills and said, "Catch up on your spiritual cultivation soon. The person behind the incident between your father and Emperor Su must be someone extraordinary. Strength is the best protection."

"Yes, Master, and this..."

Jiang Xu seemed a little embarrassed and took out the spirit snake meat that he had hidden behind his back. "Master, it's so late, you must not have eaten. This spirit snake meat..."

"Need not."

Jiang Xu looked at Ye Wanqing's departing figure with a slightly dazed expression, and stood silently in the quiet night for a long time.

On the other side, the Liu Palace

"Meet the ancestors."

Liu Zhuyi half-knelt down, looking at the woman in front of her whose face was becoming more and more beautiful, with a respectful expression.

Liu Dai's eyes suddenly opened, and her originally beautiful face twisted for a moment, "Have you investigated clearly?"

Liu Zhuyi paused. "Answering, ancestor, Qing Ye came and went without a trace, as if he appeared out of thin air on this Cang Qiong Continent. His sole purpose was to attend the Alchemy Conference. All we know now is that he was recommended by Elder Li, but he's very stubborn and nothing can be said about him. Perhaps he's connected to the Treasure Auction House."

"waste!"

Liu Zhuyi knelt on the ground with her head bowed, "Please forgive me, ancestor."

Liu Dai waved her hand, her mood becoming calm again. "Forget it, I want to see him tomorrow."

Liu Zhuyi has been in power for many years, so she naturally knows the thoughts of the ancestor of their Liu royal family. In fact, when facing her, she is more heartbroken than afraid, perhaps because she was raised by the ancestor since she was a child.

"Grandfather, haven't you let it go yet?"

Liu Dai's heart sank, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Let it go? It's impossible in this lifetime."

She looked paranoid and laughed crazily, but as she laughed, tears began to seep out of the corners of her eyes.

"Men are all bitches!"

"However, your husband is quite good, and it's worth everything you've done for him."

Liu Dai slowly helped Liu Zhuyi up and gently stroked her scattered black hair. "Yier, you are happier than me in this respect."

"Ancestor, we are still here."

……

On the second day, Liu's Palace

"I wonder why His Majesty Emperor Liu summoned Qing Ye?"

Liu Zhuyi nodded gently, her expression gentle. "Firstly, I want to thank Master Qingye for saving my son's life during the training day. Secondly... I must be asking for something important."

Ye Wanqing seemed to have anticipated this, and gently fanned herself with her folding fan. "Your Majesty, Emperor Liu, although I am an alchemist, I can also be a businessman."

Liu Zhuyi nodded, "Of course. If this is accomplished, I will definitely thank you, Young Master Qingye, along with the generous reward I gave you last time. Young Master Qingye, please."

She retreated from the others, leaving only Ye Wanqing behind, and walked towards the study. She pressed something and the secret room opened.

As soon as she entered the secret room, Ye Wanqing felt a bone-chilling chill. There was ice all around her. She sensed some kind of aura, and her eyes flashed. Her heart surged, and her steps were even faster than Liu Zhuyi's.

Inside the ice room, a man in a white robe was lying quietly on an ice bed, with a few strands of hair hanging down from his forehead. His skin was as white as snow, as if it would melt like the ice flowers in the ice room with a slight touch.

Ye Wanqing's pupils suddenly shrank, and she could barely control her trembling body. Unconsciously, a tear seeped out of the corner of her eye.

But at this moment, Liu Zhuyi didn't notice Ye Wanqing's loss of composure at all. Her whole heart was on the man not far away. She looked at him with tears of frustration in her eyes.

Ye Wanqing suddenly came to his senses, and the feather in his hand instantly turned into a sharp blade. In an instant, the blade was against Liu Zhuyi's neck.

Yet, she seemed to have never felt Liu Zhuyi's spiritual pressure. Her eyes were bloodshot. "Tell me, what happened to him?! What's your relationship with him?"

Liu Zhuyi choked up, staring into Ye Wanqing's crimson eyes. Her gaze seemed dazed for a moment, until she saw the sincerity in her eyes. Then, her expression changed, "He is my husband."

"In order to save me, he was poisoned and fell into a coma ten years ago."

Ye Wanqing's expression paused slightly, and she took a sudden step back.

Ten years ago? Why ten years ago... Wasn't it him? No, could it be that the time of rebirth in time and space was different?

Ye Wanqing came back to her senses, and as if to verify something, she flashed to the side of the ice bed and injected the divine power in the dragon vein into the man's body.

Liu Zhuyi was a little dazed from beginning to end. If she hadn't seen the malice in Qingye's eyes, she might have confronted her long ago.

Her husband knows Qing Ye?

On the other side, Ye Wanqing sensed something inside his body and abruptly withdrew her hand. A tear fell from the corner of her eye without warning.

Just now, she felt the crack in the man's spine. It was the root of the disease that Ye Wanqing suffered when he saved her in childhood.

Ye Wanqing unconsciously knelt down, her throat choking with a barely perceptible sob, "Uncle Master."
