The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

In order for Yun Qing to secure the position of Crown Prince, no one knows what conditions Emperor Yong'an had exchanged with the Holy Land.

Mingyuan continued, "Since there's a Heavenly Palace, there must be a Hell. Jiuyou and I were born in the Demonic Abyss. We don't know who our parents are, and we were sent to the Heavenly Palace—the Yaochi Lake!"

Yun Qing shuddered unconsciously after hearing this, and even Mu Qingcheng felt it: "What's wrong, Yun Qing, is there something wrong with the Heavenly Palace Yaochi?"

Neither of them answered her question, only Mingyuan showed an extremely cold smile.

After a while, Yun Qingcong explained to Mu Qingcheng, "I've never seen the Yaochi Pool in the Heavenly Palace. I only heard from my master that the Yaochi Pool is the most terrifying place in the world. There are poisonous creatures and corpses everywhere, and the water in the pool is made from thousands of poisons that have been brewed for hundreds of years..."

Not only that, the poisonous gas there could instantly suffocate a person to death... and so on, these were just rumors. But Yunqing's master said that the real scene was even more vicious than the rumors.

"Jiuyou and I grew up there... The wind there could rip off a layer of flesh... The rain could burn through stone... Our daily food consisted of poisonous creatures like snakes, insects, rats, and ants..."

When Mu Qingcheng heard this, she felt nauseous and her stomach was churning.

My scalp felt like it was being pricked by countless needles, numb and painful. My heart ached so much it was hard to breathe.

She simply couldn't imagine how vicious and cold-hearted someone must be to throw two young children into that kind of place!

"Yes... yes... who threw you there?" Mu Qingcheng's voice trembled a little.

"Of course it's our good master! He's the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal, one of the Three Immortals of the Holy Land! Everyone praises him as a living Bodhisattva who saves the world and helps the people, but in reality, he's the devil who disregards human life and has the power of life and death!

Every year he uses hundreds of people as medicine men, and the number of people who die at his hands is definitely over ten thousand!"

Mu Qingcheng was stunned. How could such a person be able to cultivate immortality? This was a heartless and insane demon.

"It seems like there's something wrong with this divine realm! Such a murderous maniac still wants the world to worship them. It's unjust!"

Yun Qing didn't say anything. His expression was very solemn. This was a problem he had overlooked.

Over the years, he has been competing with Emperor Shengwu and the Empress, but has ignored the existence of the Holy Land.

It was precisely because of this that the people in the Holy Land did not attack him. He simply regarded it as a holy place of faith in the hearts of the people.

Over the years, Emperor Shengwu was incompetent, and the Holy Domain was quietly expanding its power. Why didn't he think about how terrifying a force that could control the life and death of the prince was?

It is terrifying to think about it carefully, it is terrifying to think about it roughly, and it is terrifying not to think about it at all.

Yun Qing broke out in a cold sweat without realizing it, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

No, he couldn't let it go on like this, he had to make full preparations.

Ming Yuan continued, "He didn't bring us out of Yaochi until we were ten years old. My brother and I are the only ones who walked out of Yaochi alive."

"What happened next?" Mu Qingcheng asked.

"The years after we left Yaochi were the best time of our lives. We studied and practiced martial arts together. I liked martial arts, but Jiuyou didn't. He preferred to tinker with herbs... But that old ghost with long eyebrows wouldn't let him study medicine. Because he hadn't eaten enough for a long time, he was skinny and small, not even as tall as me, and he was too good-looking. So the old ghost with long eyebrows had someone teach him singing and dancing, and asked him to dress up as a woman. Later, he gave himself a woman's name, Zhixi!

A few years later, I was practicing martial arts, and he was learning to dance beside me. When I was tired, he would sing for me. He said he liked it this way, being able to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty every day..."

Mu Qingcheng felt her heart aching so much that as soon as she lowered her head, big tears flowed down her face.

Ming Yuan's eyes grew increasingly hollow, his expression numb. "Later, she was sent to Joyful Tower, where the Holy Land's secret agents were stationed. In order to see her, I had to constantly take on missions and kill people..."

Jiuyou and Mingyuan have been tortured as medicine men for so many years. Even though they were born with special physiques, their bodies have been injured and are no longer the same as ordinary people.

Mingyuan was a martial arts prodigy. In just a few years, he surpassed those who had practiced for decades. He quickly became the most powerful sword in the Holy Land, and Jiuyou became the scabbard of the Holy Land, ensuring that the sword once released could be retrieved.

As his martial arts skills improved, the backlash became more intense. From time to time, he would go crazy. When he went crazy, no one could stop him, and only Jiuyou could get close to him.

The people in the Holy Land had no choice but to lock him up in the dark and gloomy Ghost Prison.

It was Jiuyou who rescued him from the Ghost Prison. The two brothers escaped from the Holy Land, fled into the deep mountains and forests, and hid in a cave.

But his madness became more and more frequent, often injuring Jiuyou, and once he almost beat Jiuyou to death. When he regained consciousness, blaming himself and regretting was of no use, and he wanted to kill himself.

It was at that time that they met Yuan Zhi who went into the mountains alone.

Yuan Zhi was a fifteen-year-old girl at the time. She had just traveled from a modern metropolis as a medical doctor to become an unloved girl from a farming family.

Her parents wanted to sell her to a wealthy man in the city as a concubine, but as a doctor of modern medicine, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. So, she ran away into the mountains, where she met Jiuyou and Mingyuan.

Yuan Zhi has studied both Chinese and Western medicine, and can also make simple Western medicine. Under her careful care, Jiuyou recovered from his injuries quickly. She also made a psychotropic drug that can suppress Mingyuan's madness.

After curing Jiuyou, Yuan Zhi was about to say goodbye and leave. Mingyuan saw the reluctance in Jiuyou's eyes.

Mingyuan talked about Yuan Zhi, but did not mention her time travel. They only knew that Yuan Zhi's grandfather was an herbalist and was very familiar with all kinds of herbs. She had been influenced by him since she was a child, so she knew how to use some herbs.

"I noticed that Jiuyou liked that little girl, and I thought that if they were together, they would have someone to look after each other, and I would only be a burden to them.

That night, I hid secretly. They searched for me for two days and two nights. Only when they thought I was really gone did they leave the cave together. And I secretly followed them. Being a secret guard was good, picking off those fools behind them. Watching them walk and play together, learning medicine together, practicing medicine together. Jiuyou's face smiled more and more, and I was very happy too. This is what happiness is.

When Yun Qing heard this, he felt mixed emotions. His mother met Jiuyou first, and it sounded like the two of them were very happy together.

Mu Qingcheng also became anxious. Where was Yun Qing's father? Why didn't he show up? Could he be the third party?

Yun Qing asked nervously, "How long have they lived together? Did they get married?"

Ming Yuan frowned: "Who do you think Jiuyou is? He is an upright gentleman and would never do such a despicable thing." After saying that, he glanced at Yun Qing and Mu Qingcheng's hands holding together.

"They were together for three years, eating and living together, traveling together, and traveling all over the country, but they never even touched hands."

Yun Qing and Mu Qingcheng glanced down at their joined hands and quickly let go, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Ming Yuan still refused to let them go, pointing at Yun Qing and saying, "You really are his good son. You're just like your father. You're always good at sweet-talking girls and always like to pull and cuddle with them..."

After saying this, he added with great regret: "Jiuyou is just too stupid. He always dresses like a girl around Yuan Zhi, and Yuan Zhi always treats him as a sister!"

Ah! So that's how it is.
