Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Zhong Qingshan was so angry that he clenched his fists. Even a lowly maid dared to speak to him like that.

But soon, he was unable to loosen his fist.

He really regretted it now. He should have just ignored it and crushed those two evil bastards to death.

Zhong Ran didn't care about him. She went to Zhong Yan again and chatted with him about cultivation.

Zhong Yan was actually curious about why his sister knew so much about cultivation, but he didn't ask anything.

He listened to what his sister said and practiced whatever his sister taught him.

Anyway, my sister won’t harm him.

"Xiao Yan, your foundation is now very solid. You can strive for the third level."

Zhong Ran gave him three bottles of pills. He did not have the same experience and foundation in cultivation as her, so she did not let him focus on improving his realm like herself, but asked him to proceed as steadily as possible.

Because he has no foundation in cultivation and just blindly improves his realm, he is not familiar with the power of each realm, which will harm him.

Otherwise, if she had the elixir, she would have been able to push him to the high level of Qi Refining long ago.

"Okay, sister, I will be promoted tonight." Zhong Yan took it and smiled.

He felt that he was still far behind his sister and Prince Ning, and had long wanted to catch up.

But his sister said that she didn't want him to be superficial, as that would harm him, so he calmed down and took steady steps.

"No rush, it should be better outside the city."

Although he could be promoted with the help of elixirs, it would definitely be better outside than in this barren land.

"Sister, are we going out?" Zhong Yan's smile grew even wider.

Zhong Ran wanted to go out, but she didn't want to take Yu Su out with her.

"Sister, there are people following you now, so it's not easy for you to go out. I'll let Prince Ning take you out, okay?"

Zhong Yan wanted to say no, but in the end he didn't say it out loud, but nodded slightly.

Only if he grows up quickly and becomes strong will he be qualified to stay with his sister and protect her.

Zhong Ran gave him a few more instructions, explaining to him the disadvantages of getting promoted in such a place, and then took him quietly out of the Marquis' Mansion and to the Prince of Ning's Mansion.

She was very familiar with Prince Ning's Mansion.

Mu Jinning just pushed a lot of things to Zhuifeng. He was not the original owner and would not stay here forever, so naturally he did not want to be too involved.

He mostly left the daily affairs to the four people Zhuifeng or the housekeeper, while he took time to practice more.

He desperately wanted to advance to the advanced level of Qi Refining as soon as possible so that he could open his sea of ​​consciousness and resume his professions such as drawing talismans.

How can Zhong Ran feel at ease when Yu Su is always by his side, and Yu Su may have practiced some magic?

"Have you found the fine jade I asked you to find?"

All the good jade he had used before was used for cultivation. Now he wanted to make a protective jade pendant for his junior sister, but he couldn’t find any good jade.

Zhulang quickly took out an exquisite brocade box, which contained a piece of fine white jade that had not yet been carved.

Mu Jinning reached out and picked it up. It felt warm and cool to the touch, and faintly exuded spiritual energy. It was indeed a good piece of jade.

Moreover, this piece of jade is the size of a palm and can be made into at least two protective jade pendants.

"Alright, go prepare a set of carving tools for this king."

To make a protective jade pendant, one only needs to engrave a protective formation on it, which is not difficult for him.

But if he wants to draw talismans, his current strength is not enough.

Zhulang and Zhuifeng exchanged a glance. When did the prince learn how to carve? How come they didn't know?

However, the two did not dare to ask and went down to make arrangements.

"Your Highness, the Zhong family's siblings request to see you." Zhuifeng went downstairs for a while and then came back in.

After hearing this, Mu Jinning quickly put the jade away and turned to walk out.

Zhong Ran and Zhong Yan were invited into the living room to sit down, and servants brought them tea.

This was the first time she had entered Prince Ning's Mansion so openly and sat here drinking tea.

Prince Ning walked in quickly, and when he saw the brother and sister, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Ranran, why are you here?"

Zhong Ran looked up at him. The young man was wearing a moon-white robe and had handsome and gentle features. Although his facial features were different from those of the original senior brother, she could still match the two.

"Your Highness." She still followed the local etiquette and stood up and bowed to Zhong Yan.

A doting smile flashed in Mu Jinning's eyes, and she gestured for them to sit down.

"It's like this. I have something to do here and can't leave for the time being. Xiaoyan has a solid foundation and is ready for promotion. I want you to take him into the mountains to get promoted."

Zhong Ran did not hide his intention and explained: "He hasn't been out much, and I'm afraid he'll get lost."

Zhong Yan had only left the city last time, and he had gone out with him.

Mu Jinning thought about it and nodded: "How about I ask An Lei to accompany him out? The old lady of the General's Mansion is celebrating her birthday soon, and I can't leave."

Zhong Ran didn't expect that he would also attend the birthday banquet at the general's mansion.

Come to think of it, as a prince, how could he not be invited to such a banquet?

She looked at Zhong Yan, who nodded slightly.

In fact, he would dare to go out alone, but he didn't want to make his sister worry.

Since she thinks someone needs to take him there, then let someone take him there.

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness to arrange someone." Zhong Ran also nodded in agreement.

Mu Jinning called An Lei and asked him to take Zhong Yan out of the city and into the mountains.

After entering the mountains, Zhong Yan will naturally rely on his perception to find the most suitable place for advancement.

After the two left, he looked at her and said, "Ranran, stay here and come back after dinner."

Zhong Ran thought about it and did not refuse. In the past few days, Concubine Xiao and even the Xiao family had not come to trouble her. It seemed that they were really shocked by him.

Since he can handle these relationships well, she has nothing to worry about.

However, she seemed to be thinking too much.

"Your Highness, the imperial edict from the palace has arrived." A servant standing at the door spoke cautiously.

Mu Jinning frowned and glanced at Zhong Ran.

"You go and receive the imperial edict." Zhong Ran was very sensible, but he didn't know that to receive the imperial edict, everyone had to kneel together.

However, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

She didn't even kneel in front of the emperor, so how could she kneel in front of an imperial edict?

"Ranran, come with me." He reached out and took her hand, and walked out with her.

The palace's housekeeper was also confused when he heard the imperial edict, but he quickly summoned all the servants in the palace to prepare to receive the edict with his master.

The person who came was a eunuch named Li, who looked middle-aged. He was followed by at least seven or eight young eunuchs and a dozen palace guards.

When Eunuch Li saw Prince Ning leading a woman out, he secretly groaned in his heart.

Although he had not met Zhong Ran yet, he had heard of her reputation a long time ago.

Who hasn’t heard of Zhong Ran now?

In fact, many people knew that Prince Ning seemed to be fascinated by her and insisted on marrying her.

Of course, more people believed that King Ning was attracted by Zhong Ran's strength.

With such strength, he even dared not kneel before the Emperor, and dared to cut off the arm of Prince Yan. Who doesn't know that the Emperor didn't punish him?

But why is this evil star here?

Moreover, judging from Prince Ning's attitude, he was really good to her and didn't mind being seen. He just walked out holding her hand.

"Prince Ning." He bowed awkwardly.
