Meng Yun accepted the task of the Lantern Festival and led his men to Yongkang County.

Mu Qingcheng couldn't contain her excitement: "Yunqing, let's go to Yongkang too! I have many new and interesting ideas, and I'm sure we can make the Lantern Festival a great success and a lively one!" She looked at Yunqing with anticipation.

Yun Qing stared at the little girl in front of him, seeing her eyes full of hope, he couldn't bear to refuse. However, his brows unconsciously furrowed slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart made him hesitate.

"Nuannuan, once we step out of this bamboo forest, I'm afraid we'll never have peace. We'll face many unknown dangers every day. I'm worried about you!"

Yun Qing's expression was solemn and stern, revealing a deep worry. He knew that there were many things waiting for him to deal with outside, the cause of his parents' death still waiting for him to find out the truth, and the chaos in the capital still waiting for him to sort out.

Now that the poison has been cured, he no longer has any excuse to stay. He should have left long ago. However, the external situation is now turbulent and full of dangers and killings.

Ever since the incident with the eldest prince, the capital must have known that he was still alive. The eldest prince had suffered a severe blow, and he must have been unwilling to accept it. He was very likely to join forces with the queen and plot to kill him.

Yun Qing didn't feel much fear towards these visible enemies. What really worried him were the unknown forces lurking in the darkness.

Especially Mo Bei, the man who betrayed him. Mo Bei had been lurking beside him for over a decade. Ever since his escape that day, no trace of him had been found. But Yun Qing knew he was hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Because they knew each other too well, they were each the most deadly threat to the other.

This bamboo forest was protected by a four-sided sealing formation that could withstand the invasion of thousands of troops. If possible, he hoped Mu Qingcheng could stay here and wait for him to clear everything before coming to pick her up.

Yun Qing didn't know how to start, but Mu Qingcheng already knew what he was thinking from his eyes.

She stood up, pinched her waist and pouted, "I won't stay alone. If you dare to leave me, I promise you will never find me again in your life!"

Alas! He knew that this little girl could easily control him, and she was always right in her grasp.

Yun Qing looked at Mu Qingcheng tenderly. He slowly extended his right hand and gently grasped Mu Qingcheng's slender and tender hand. With a slight force on his arm, the little girl was involuntarily pulled into his arms.

Mu Qingcheng was stunned at first, then realized she was sitting on Yun Qing's lap. Her cheeks flushed red and her heart was pounding.

Classmate Mu Xiaonuan has been a good girl since she was a child. This is her first love in her life, and she can't help but be intoxicated by the beauty.

She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into the other person's fiery gaze.

Mu Xiaonuan wasn't the only one whose heartbeat quickened and whose face flushed red. Yun Qing did the same. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Yun Qing remained silent, only staring at her with a burning gaze. Mu Xiaonuan finally couldn't stand it anymore. She was afraid that if he continued to look at her, she would soon become dizzy from heatstroke.

Mu Qingcheng raised her head and her eyes met Yun Qing's. For a moment, she was immersed in his starry eyes.

"Don't worry, Nuannuan, I will definitely protect you."

Yun Qing's deep and magnetic voice rang in Mu Qingcheng's ears. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

"Don't worry, Yunqing, I will protect you and will never let anyone bully you again."

Every word Mu Qingcheng said was like a spark, planted in Yun Qing's heart, growing into hot branches and leaves, blooming warm flowers, and bearing red fruits. These fruits were the priceless treasures in this world.

Far above the vast sea of ​​Fuzhou, there is a small green island, facing the land from afar. This island has a mysterious name called "East China Sea Wonderland".

The East China Sea wonderland is like a delicate gem, nestled in the embrace of the ocean. On the island lies a tiny fishing village, home to only 150 or 160 villagers. The men fish, while the women gather pearls. Built right on the seashore, the village feels like a paradise, tranquil and peaceful.

The most beautiful and magnificent feature of the entire island is the magnificent and imposing palaces that rise from the mountainside. These palaces are staggered and stacked one upon another, reaching a staggering nine stories! They appear to be suspended in mid-air, creating a dreamlike experience. Whenever the sun shines, the golden light reflects on the glazed tiles of the palaces, creating a shimmering and breathtaking beauty.

The locals call this the "Nine Heavens Palace"! They firmly believe it's where the gods reside. Mere mortals simply can't enter. Legend has it that only those with a predestined connection can enter, and those who do can achieve immortality and longevity.

Legend has it that within the mysterious Heavenly Palace, there are countless rare treasures. The mountains of gold and silver are the most insignificant of these, the sheer quantity of which is simply beyond imagination.

Fist-sized pearls and night-shining pearls were scattered everywhere. Even the roads were paved with various gemstones, a truly luxurious sight.

In addition, the Heavenly Palace may also contain various precious medicinal herbs, ancient books, and rare magic weapons. Every item here is rare in the world and priceless.

Who doesn't yearn for a Nine-Layered Palace like this, but so far no one has been able to enter it.

The mysterious Xiaoyue Villa is hidden on a small hill opposite the Nine Heavens Palace. Like a watchdog of the Nine Heavens Palace, it has been squatting here for twenty years, constantly coveting the treasures within the palace.

Xiaoyue Villa wasn't small, covering an area of ​​fifty to sixty mu (approximately 166 hectares) and encompassing more than a dozen courtyards. In the center stood a tower called Lingyun Pavilion.

The attic hall was brightly lit, with guests and hosts sitting in a circle. At the top sat a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe. This man was Yan Jinchang.

Soon, a man who was tied up was pushed into the hall. His clothes were dirty and torn, his hair was messy and he looked in a miserable state. He was forced to kneel on the ground by two men in black clothes.

"Yan Jinchang! How dare you kidnap me, you old bastard? You'll be in trouble when my people arrive."

Yan Jinchang, who was sitting at the head of the table, sneered and said, "Hahaha! Your people, where are your people? Interesting, Lu Chengze, have you forgotten that your people were killed in Daxi Village? Even your confidant Huang Zhong fell into their hands. Where are your people left? Humph! Even those people are from our villa. What does it have to do with you? Lu Chengze, even now you still refuse to plead guilty?"

Lu Chengze was struggling to stand up, but the person behind him was so strong that he couldn't stand up and could only kneel.

"What have I done wrong? What have I done wrong? Victory and defeat are common in the military. I was just careless for a moment and fell into that guy's trap. He, he is just a spent force! When I bring enough men back to fight him, I will tear that guy into five pieces."

Yan Jinchang was so angry that his beard was puffing and his eyes were glaring. He pointed at Lu Chengze with a shaking finger and cursed: "Kill them back! You still want to kill them back? You are so arrogant. Lu Chengze, you are a useless person who can only cause trouble. Why do you let the brothers follow you to die? From now on, you are not allowed to touch any of the soldiers of Xiaoyue Villa."
