After saying this, the king left, leaving Mingchuan alone in the room with the so-called national teacher.

Mingchuan frowned slightly and looked at the woman in front of him.

He is so young, yet he is the imperial teacher?

The woman in front of him seemed to have long been accustomed to Mingchuan's gaze. She didn't care and sat down opposite him.

The neat and tidy short hair shows another unique temperament and beauty of women's perseverance everywhere.

"Mr. Ming, let me introduce myself first. My name is Situ Xuan, I'm 28 years old. Not only do I have that special identity you just heard about, but I'm also your fiancée."

"one."

There was clearly no expression on Situ Xuan's face, but she singled out the last two words and pronounced them very heavily, which was full of sarcasm.

Those frosty eyes were full of contempt and disdain.

But he only looked down on the title of "one of the fiancées".

She had seen everything Mingchuan had done since he came down the mountain, and she admired him very much.

She was different from other fiancées. Since Mingchuan was still training in the mountains, she knew all about him and could control his every move.

Obviously, Situ Xuan's domineering attitude stunned Mingchuan on the spot.

He opened his lips slightly and looked at the woman again.

The Imperial Master is his fiancée? !

unbelievable!

The relationship between Master and Senior Sister can actually reach this level!!!

Situ Xuan didn't mind his scrutiny. "Don't be surprised. I'm the daughter-in-law your father Ming Tianyi had chosen long ago. So, I was originally your first wife, right?"

Another irony.

Mingchuan couldn't help but laugh at himself.

What a messed up relationship this is, it’s invincible!

"As for your master Ye Yan, he is now imprisoned in the Sky Prison. It has nothing to do with us. He entered the Sky Prison in the West Sea Skyline after you left the mountain."

"He said he had betrayed the Dragon Nation and was now here to atone for his sins, willingly being thrown into the Heavenly Prison."

"The King and I have tried to persuade him, but Ye Yan refused."

This news made Mingchuan frown.

The West Sea was far away from the capital, and he had heard of the Sky Prison in the West Sea. It was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones, and all the people imprisoned there were world-class vicious criminals.

No one who is imprisoned can walk out alive.

They will go crazy and kill each other.

Ordinary people simply cannot defend them. Countless war gods who are famous in the world are just giving away heads to gain experience.

Many pillars of the country died there.

Mingchuan would never believe that his master was a guilty person and had betrayed the Dragon Kingdom.

But, from another perspective...

Master is no longer a minister of the Dragon Kingdom. It is very likely that he entered the Heavenly Prison with a guilty body to suppress the many manic criminals.

He left an envelope and asked me to find it here, and then I heard the news from Situ Xuan...

The master gave him special instructions and asked him to go to the Heavenly Prison to find him in the future.

But in just a moment, Mingchuan understood everything.

"Can I go see him now?"

Situ Xuan shook her head, took out a white medicine bottle, and slid it across the table in front of Mingchuan.

"You can't see him now, it's not the right time, you still have to save people, right?"

"Your master has long anticipated that you might face a disaster. The medicine in the bottle can cure all poisons and should be able to help you."

Mingchuan took out the white medicine bottle and opened the lid. A refreshing fragrance wafted out, swirling around his nose.

His heart sank a little, he covered it again, stood up and bowed to Situ Xuan.

"Thank you very much, Miss Situ, for telling me this. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance. Now I have to go back to Jiangnan to save people."

"Don't be anxious, I have something else to tell you." Situ Xuan said.

"Your master once said that the Fengxue Sect and Zhentian Tower have become independent factions. They have practiced for many years and have developed unusual operations."

"It is most appropriate to defeat them using their own rules."

"Otherwise, even if you carry out a large-scale cleanup like you did against the Longyuan Sect before, they will not be convinced unless they see you take the initiative."

"If it cannot be extinguished, it will spring back to life in the spring breeze."

Situ Xuan's words were full of profound meaning.

Mingchuan looked at her deeply and said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice."

Situ Xuan waved her hand: "Go ahead."

Her face was calm, without any attempt to keep Mingchuan, nor did she bring up anything else related to the engagement.

There was even no mention of whether the engagement would be cancelled or not.

Mingchuan knew that she had her own considerations, so he simply kept silent.

He turned around and left the capital decisively.

When the people left, the king appeared.

He chuckled, still without losing the kind look on his face.

"How is it? What do you think of Mingchuan? Is he a good match for you?"

Situ Xuan said seriously, "Lord, I am only 28 years old now and I am not considering marriage. Since Mingchuan already has many people around him, there is no need for me to get involved."

The two of them had been waiting for a long time, and today they just wanted to take this opportunity to meet Mingchuan and get to know him.

Anything else would be impossible.

However, the king will be able to more conveniently notify Mingchuan to do things directly in the future.

The king chuckled twice and did not get involved in the emotional entanglement of the young people. He just looked at the direction where Mingchuan left with emotion and sighed.

"Mingchuan is truly a good kid, and once he pacifies the remaining three sects, he should come and visit our capital."

Situ Xuan did not answer, having already guessed what the king was thinking.

……

After leaving the capital, Mingchuan rode his horse at full speed again and rushed back to Jiangnan.

However, along the way, Mingchuan was wondering about his master's current situation in the Heavenly Prison.

That prison is not a place for humans to stay. Its location alone makes it an abyss from which no one can escape.

At first, they practiced in the mountains, and the prison was called the West Sea Sky because it was on an isolated island far away from the West Sea.

The island was filled with airtight prisons where even flies couldn't move freely. There were no other normal products, and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all very difficult.

The prison was damp year-round, and with the piles of corpses, all sorts of rotting odors were constantly present. The stench alone...

Mingchuan felt that he probably couldn't accept it.

But the master was willing to sacrifice himself.

Mingchuan's heart was in turmoil. He looked at the white medicine bottle in his hand, choked up and felt speechless.

……

"Brother Ming!"

In front of the Min family’s house.

Meng Dalang had been waiting early. When he saw Mingchuan coming back, his gray eyes lit up instantly and he hurried forward to greet him.

"How's Brother Ming? Did you find a way to save them?"

Mingchuan nodded and went upstairs with Meng Dalan.

Zhu Qingcheng stayed here for three days and two nights, continuously extending Jizhou's life. Even though she looked so ethereal, she was now much weaker.
