When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"Thank you, sir. Don't overthink it. It's getting late. Song'er still has to take the entrance exam tomorrow. Don't miss out on your rest."

"As for what happens after the change of identity, it won't be too late to discuss it slowly in the future."

"As the saying goes, lovers will eventually marry. As long as Changyan and Song'er love each other, nothing else will be a problem."

Ximen Liu saw the concerns of the Xie family and quickly gave them a reassurance.

It was obvious that his senior brother had still been hiding his true identity from the Xie family, so he didn't need to say more to avoid causing trouble for his senior brother.

When the time is right, everything will fall into place naturally.

Taixi is now powerful, the eight surrounding countries have all surrendered, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury is full, which is a sign of prosperity.

Jiang Song can return to the royal family and live according to her own wishes. Whether she continues to practice or participate in state affairs, she will have a bigger stage and more choices.

Not to mention her husband, her senior brother is the leader of the Tianyan Sect, the number one sect in the world. He is a genius that only appears once in a thousand years in the world of cultivation. His future is limitless.

On the contrary, the royal family should be thankful that such a powerful person as Senior Brother chose to stay with Song'er for his whole life. This is a blessing for their Ximen royal family.

Xie Guangting felt relieved upon hearing this and bowed to Ximen Liu, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Xie Guangting took the Xie family members, Jiang Song, Qiao Wanyu, and Jiang Shu's mother and daughter and left Ningguo Mansion together.

Ximen Liu wanted to search the Mu and Jiang families overnight to capture the remaining accomplices, and he also had many follow-up matters to deal with, so he did not see them off in person.

Senior brother has reached the most critical moment in his cultivation. He cannot be distracted from the great path. Ximen Liu also needs to protect the peace of this secular world for him and ensure that senior brother has no worries.

Xie Changyan cannot interfere in the cause and effect of mortals. Ximen Liu will naturally not let him get involved in protecting the Xie family and eradicating all existences that pose a threat to the Xie family.

What's more, these people are Taixi's parasites. As a member of the royal family, he has the obligation to eliminate these parasites one by one and restore Taixi to a bright and peaceful world.

When his senior brother breaks through the bottleneck, the entire Xuanpin Lingzhou will usher in a true heyday, and he will be able to retire and be a leisurely immortal as before.

By then, both the prosperity of Tianyan Sect and the prosperity of Xuanpin Lingzhou will reach unprecedented heights under the leadership of senior brother.

And he might be able to find a quiet mountain forest, build a few bamboo houses, live a free and easy life, occasionally get together with his fellow disciples, talk about their experiences in cultivation, and appreciate the beauty of the world together.

Just thinking about such a future makes people yearn for it.

At night, Jiang Song lay in bed, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Everything that happened that day seemed like a dream.

From learning about her own life experience, to Cui Yunniang's experience, to the confiscation of the Jiang and Mu families' property, every scene kept replaying in her mind.

Xie Changyan held her in his arms and soothed her softly, "Song'er, be good. Everything is over now. It's time to rest."

"Ayan, aren't you going to tell your father and the others about your identity?" Jiang Song asked, looking up. The moonlight shone through the window lattice onto her face, reflecting the uneasiness in her heart.

Xie Changyan sighed softly, his fingers gently combing her long hair, his eyes full of tenderness and helplessness.

"Song'er, my fate with them is only in this life. In a few decades, they will grow old and enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"As a cultivator with a long lifespan, if I tell them the truth, it will only add to their worries and reluctance."

"Furthermore, if my identity were to become known to the world, it would inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble and might even endanger the safety of you and the Xie family."

Jiang Song's eyes were slightly red, and she snuggled tightly in Xie Changyan's arms, "But I want them to know how good you are, and that you deserve the best in this world."

Xie Changyan smiled slightly and kissed her forehead. "Compared to all this, I hope you can be happy and worry-free. Song'er, it's enough for you to know how good I am. For mortals, sometimes ignorance is also a kind of bliss."

"Yun Ni is destined to become an immortal. I will personally guide her on the path of cultivation when the time comes. This will also be my way of repaying the Xie family. As for the others, let them live their lives as mortals."

Jiang Song felt a surge of mixed emotions when he heard this.

She was touched by Xie Changyan's careful consideration, but she couldn't help feeling a little sad about this unspeakable secret.

But she understood that cultivating the Tao and living in the mortal world were two completely different paths.

"Ayan, I'll listen to you." Jiang Song's voice was choked with sobs. She hugged Xie Changyan tightly and rubbed his chest with heartache. "I just hope we can continue like this forever, never leaving each other."

"Song'er, you will be a princess in the future. I'm afraid your husband will have to live off you." Xie Changyan joked, trying to lighten the mood and make Jiang Song feel more relaxed.

Jiang Song was amused by him and punched him lightly, "Go away, how can you be like this?"

The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and Jiang Song's mood really improved a lot.

She lay in Xie Changyan's arms, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and gradually felt sleepy.

"Ayan, I will practice hard and strive to be on par with you as soon as possible." Jiang Song said in a daze before falling asleep.

Xie Changyan lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead, "Okay, I have to wait for you too."

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the room gradually went out, leaving only the bright moonlight outside the window, quietly shining on the embracing figures of the two.

The next day, in the Fengwu Academy martial arts test, Jiang Song unsurprisingly stood out with excellent results and won the first place among the fifty elites.

Because she came out on top in both the civil and military exams, her results were so dazzling that she became famous throughout Taixi in a short time.

On the streets and alleys, people were talking about this talented young girl who suddenly emerged, and the sound of praise was endless.

On the day Jiang Song won the first place, she was summoned to the palace by the emperor. In front of all the civil and military officials, she was asked to return to her ancestral home and was given the title of Princess Yaning, which means elegant, tranquil and noble in character.

The princess's regular rewards, the reward for the female martial arts champion, and the treasures from the emperor's private treasury were delivered into Princess Yaning's residence like water.

Yes, before Jiang Song received the reward, Ximen Liu had already chosen a magnificent princess mansion for her and had people prepare it overnight, waiting for Jiang Song to move in.

This mansion is located on one of the most prosperous streets in the imperial city. With its red gates, high walls, carved beams and painted buildings, every brick and tile reveals the royal dignity and majesty.

The layout of the palace is exquisite, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, rockery and flowing water complementing each other, and exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty, making it like a paradise on earth.

Jiang Song looked at the room full of rare treasures, but his heart was not too moved.

To her, these worldly wealth and glory are far less precious than Xie Changyan's smile.
