I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in front of them.

Su Yu'er used her spiritual sense to tell Xiao Mohan: "Husband, we have reached the exit."

Xiao Mohan looked at the bright light and scanned it with his spiritual sense, only to see a powerful barrier in front of him.

"Yes, we're here, but there's a powerful barrier at the exit." Xiao Mohan replied while staring at the barrier.

Su Yu'er didn't expect that there was a barrier at the exit that trapped her.

They approached the barrier silently and observed carefully.

The exit was shrouded in a spiritual light, and there was only enough space for one person to pass between Ruoshui River and the cultivation world. This meant that the barrier might automatically restore itself after it was opened.

Xiao Mohan turned around and looked at everyone, speaking to them with his spiritual sense, "This is the exit to the world of cultivation. I will open this barrier in a moment, and you can pass through. Once you enter the world of cultivation, you will be baptized by thunder tribulations. You must endure it, otherwise your souls will be shattered."

Everyone nodded!

Xiao Mohan quickly walked to the exit, gathered his spiritual power in his palm, and raised his hand to shoot out three streams of spiritual energy.

"boom!"

The barrier failed to break, but was bounced away by an invisible force.

"Huh! So powerful?"

Then, Xiao Mohan increased his spiritual power, and ten streams of spiritual energy attacked the barrier.

In an instant, cracks appeared in the barrier, and the moment the cracks opened, a rich spiritual energy burst out.

"Boom!"

The barrier was completely broken...

"You guys go over there!"

Everyone knelt down and saluted, then stood up and filed into the crack.

As they left, the barrier automatically restored itself.

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan watched them leave, then turned around and walked back.

I began to accept the invisible pressure and burden again.

The two of them protected their bodies with spiritual power and struggled forward, bearing the pressure of the great way of heaven and earth.

When they felt like they were stepping on cotton, they knew they were about to walk out of the Ruoshui River.

Soon, they gradually emerged from the water.

Xiao Mohan used his spiritual power to dry his and Su Yuer's clothes, and then flew away from the Phoenix Mountains.

When they returned to the academy, the children did not appear in front of them with the usual excitement.

Su Yu'er couldn't help but wonder: "Hey! Where are these three children?" As she spoke, she looked around for the children.

"I don't know where he ran off to."

Xiao Mohan sighed and continued, "The person has been sent away. I think we should set off for the capital as soon as possible and check the iron mine issue on the way."

"Okay! We should investigate it carefully." Su Yuer nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the two found the children in the training room. At this moment, they were sitting cross-legged on the cushions, immersed in their practice.

"The children are so sensible!" Xiao Mohan showed a proud smile on his face, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Yes! It's so heartbreaking!" Tears flashed in Su Yuer's beautiful eyes as she looked at the children with heartache.

When Xiao Mohan hugged her and was about to speak, the door of a training room slowly opened and a familiar figure walked out.

"Second brother!" Su Yu'er exclaimed in surprise.

Su Mingli walked towards them quickly with a look of joy on his face.

"Little sister!" he shouted excitedly.

Then, Su Mingli knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress."

"Get up!" Xiao Mohan said calmly.

Su Yuer took a look at his cultivation level.

"Second brother, you are already in the middle stage of the Golden Core?"

Su Mingli smiled innocently, "Yes!"

"Where's the second sister-in-law?"

"She's in the training room next door. She hasn't come out for several days." Su Mingli looked at the training room next door tenderly, his eyes full of heartache and longing. "She should be about to break through. Her current cultivation level is the middle stage of foundation building."

Su Yu'er opened her mouth in surprise: "Ah? Are you playing with your life?"

Su Mingli smiled and said, "We just want to practice well and live up to the Queen's cultivation of us."

Su Yuer sighed: "Okay!"

Xiao Mohan said seriously, "You can't rush into cultivation. You need to relax and work hard at the right time. Otherwise, your realm will become unstable."

Su Mingli nodded: "I understand. But seeing that the Ninth Prince and the others have already left for the cultivation world, I can't help but feel a little anxious."

Xiao Mohan comforted him, "Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities."

At this time, the children came out of the practice room.

When they saw Xiao Mohan and Su Yuer, they immediately ran over and hugged their thighs, shouting happily: "Daddy, Mommy, you are finally back!"

Xiao Mohan smiled and asked, "Have you finished your training?"

The children answered in unison: "We're done practicing!"

"This is your uncle Su Mingli!"

"Hello, uncle!" the three children said in unison.

Su Mingli looked at the three adorable little ones in front of him and turned to look at Su Yuer in surprise: "Are their cultivation bases all at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Su Yu'er nodded and explained gently, "Yes, they started practicing when they were over one year old."

Su Mingli was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He secretly exclaimed in his heart: My little sister is really a devil...

After chatting for a while, Su Yuer and Xiao Mohan took the children back to the dormitory, while Ruxin took the children to wash and go to bed.

The next morning, before daybreak, they descended Phoenix Mountain, boarded a carriage, and sped towards Jinxi City.

One day, they finally arrived at Cixi Town.

They found an inn to rest for a while, and at the same time, arranged for Ruxin to investigate who the owner of the iron mine was.

Xiao Mohan went to the county magistrate's office in Cixi Town to secretly investigate the situation of the iron mine.

Su Yuer was waiting at the inn with the children.

In the evening, they returned to the inn without any prior arrangement.

"The mine owner is called Li Maoyang, a wealthy businessman in Lin'an City. Moreover, Li Maoyang is the brother-in-law of the Minister of Works Bai Tingyue, and the uncle of Bai Zhiman in the cold palace." Ruxin reported today's investigation truthfully.

"Oh?" Xiao Mohan was stunned for a moment.

"How could I forget the beautiful lady in the cold palace?"

If Ruxin hadn't mentioned Bai Zhiman, Su Yuer would have forgotten this beautiful Bai long ago.

"I said it, since the beautiful Bai was banished to the cold palace, Bai Tingyue has not taken any action. It turns out that the big boss is behind it." Su Yu'er snorted coldly.

"As far as I know, Li Maoyang is no longer the richest man in Lin'an City. Moreover, this iron mine does not belong to him, but to the Minister of Works Bai Tingyue. He just uses Li Maoyang as a cover." Ruxin answered truthfully.

"Bai Tingyue is the Minister of Works, in charge of mineral resources. He is well aware of the imperial court's prohibition on unauthorized mining.

Because he knew, he could only hide behind the scenes and control the situation, and absolutely could not appear in person. "Xiao Mohan's brows were furrowed, and his voice became increasingly cold.

"It seems that Bai Tingyue has already sent his people to check it out.

It won't be long before the Cixi County Magistrate reports to the Jinxi City Governor that someone violated imperial law by illegally digging iron ore and refusing to report it, resulting in a landslide and casualties. "Oh! It seems this matter is getting more and more interesting."

"That is to say, Bai Tingyue had been planning to choose Li Maoyang to handle this matter for a long time.

Once the truth comes out, he will be the scapegoat and the first person to be pushed to the guillotine." Su Yuer took a sip of tea.

"Yes!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Bai Tingyue will soon take action against the miners hired by the mine. Only dead people can't speak." Xiao Mohan guessed.

Hiss...Su Yuer took a breath of cold air.

"That's countless lives!"

Xiao Mohan reached out and held her hand. "This is a shrewd and calculating act. He has already begun to finish things in an orderly manner. How could he put himself in a passive position because of a living person?"

"He deserves to die!" Su Yuer said angrily.

There is retribution in the world, and it depends on who God spares!

At the same time, in the secret room of Cixi Town.

Bai Tingyue was wearing a gorgeous blue robe with an exquisite red gold belt tied around his waist, which made him look more noble.

At this moment, there were three people sitting in the secret room, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

Bai Tingyue was in the shadows, making it impossible to see his face clearly. One could only see him slightly raising his head, his deep eyes staring at the man in black who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

“He’s gone?”

Bai Tingyue's voice is magnetic, yet reveals a chilling and terrifying tone.

The man in black lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the indifferent Bai Tingyue in front of him.

"My Lord, the Emperor has already left Hanyu Academy and is on his way back to the capital."

"Huh!" Bai Tingyue sneered, his face expressionless. "My daughter is still suffering in the cold palace, but he is living a carefree life! Does he really think I don't care? Hahaha... I'm just enduring it."

"I heard that the emperor has arrived in Jinxi City." County Magistrate Liu of Cixi Town said nervously.

He can't afford to offend Bai Tingyue.

He couldn't afford to offend the emperor.

"County Magistrate Liu, are you scared?"

Nonsense, who isn’t afraid of losing their head!

"Brother-in-law, you must quickly find a way to deal with the iron mine collapse! If... the emperor finds out, we'll all be finished!" Li Maoyang's face turned pale, and his voice trembled noticeably.

Bai Tingyue narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes cold and deep, looking straight at Li Maoyang.

There was no expression on his face, he just stared at the other person silently, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

After a long while, he slowly spoke in a low voice: "Go back the way you came. If I need to take action, I will have someone contact you."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Liu's face turned extremely ugly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The man in black bowed respectfully, stood up and left the secret room.

After the man in black left, Bai Tingyue slowly walked out from the darkness.

"Black Hawk!"

"Master!" Black Hawk's voice was cold and ruthless, and his figure appeared silently.

"Go to Yunmeng Mountain."

Bai Tingyue's tone was flat and ordinary.

"Yes!" Black Hawk responded without hesitation.
