After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Seeing Jiang Yun's silence, Lu Yan didn't say much either. She simply adjusted her collar and continued calmly, "General Jiang, can you now tell me the secret you found out?"

Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "I didn't find anything. I just searched the soul of that old guy Qin Tan."

"Soul search?" Lu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank when she heard that, and she looked at Jiang Yun in shock.

As the largest sect in the Qingyun Continent and the only immortal cultivation sect, the Qingyun Sect had never inherited any soul-searching techniques. Yet, the princess of this small, lowly nation, long considered by the world to be of the lowest rank, had mastered such a profound technique... It was simply unbelievable.

Lu Yan thought to herself that Jiang Yun must have had some incredible opportunity, perhaps entering some secret realm to obtain this secret technique. Thinking of this, she felt a little more at ease.

Once, she thought that the world was already corrupt, but now she sees a ray of hope in this darkness. Jiang Yun may be the one who can save the world.

A hint of reverence could not help but flash across Lu Yan's eyes.

Jiang Yun nodded, coughed lightly, and then asked, "Is there any way to remove the poison in your body?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the light in Lu Yan's eyes dimmed instantly. She sighed and said in a heavy tone, "Only when the carrier of the mother Gu dies naturally will the child Gu in me disappear. Otherwise, I will never be able to escape the fate of suffering for Hong Yan in this life."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly said, "I do have an idea..."

Hearing this, Lu Yan's eyes flashed with hope, and she asked anxiously, "What's the solution?"

Jiang Yun lowered his eyes, looked at Lu Yan, and said calmly: "Isn't it enough to lock him up and keep him with you?"

Lu Yan blinked and said helplessly, "Grand Commander, Hong Yan's cultivation has reached the late Jindan stage, and I have just established my foundation. I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress him."

Jiang Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Have you forgotten the Sanling Pill I gave you before? As long as you keep giving it to him, are you afraid that you can't suppress him?"

Lu Yan's eyes lit up instantly, but soon showed hesitation again: "But those pills should be very valuable, right? I'm afraid I can't afford it. General Jiang, you won't help me for nothing, right?"

"Of course not." Jiang Yun said calmly, his eyes deep, "It's very simple, you recognize me as your master."

Lu Yan was slightly startled, then nodded without hesitation: "Okay!" She immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Master, please accept my respects!"

Jiang Yun smiled, a hint of seriousness in his tone: "What I mean by acknowledging the master is a master-servant contract bound by the laws of nature. Once you acknowledge me as your master, you cannot have any second thoughts, otherwise you will be directly wiped out by the laws of nature."

Hearing this, Lu Yan said firmly without hesitation: "Okay!"

As her voice fell, Jiang Yun activated the formation of the master-servant contract. Under Jiang Yun's guidance, Lu Yan successfully completed the signing of the contract.

After finishing, Jiang Yun took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Yan: "Take it, and your cultivation will be restored."

Lu Yan took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. Sure enough, the next moment, she felt the spiritual energy in her dantian, which had been depleted, quickly recover, and her entire body was refreshed. She looked at Jiang Yun with joy and asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

Jiang Yun took out a bottle of Sanling Pills from his bosom and handed it to Lu Yan: "This is Sanling Pills. Go deal with Hong Lin first. I'll go see Lan Wushuang."

Lu Yan took the porcelain bottle and nodded respectfully: "Yes!"

Qin Zhi, standing aside, watched all this silently, his eyes filled with envy. However, he was just an ordinary person, so how could he be qualified to recognize Jiang Yun as his master? He was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and said respectfully, "Grand Commander, I will take Miss Lu over."

Jiang Yun nodded: "Okay."

---

When Jiang Yun arrived at Lan Wushuang's cell, Lan Wushuang was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. Her eyelids twitched slightly at the sound of footsteps, but she didn't open them.

"Miss Lan, are you comfortable in this cell?" Jiang Yun's voice echoed in the cell.

Lan Wushuang had to open her eyes and look at the person who came. When she saw Jiang Yun in his official uniform, her face remained calm as she replied calmly, "Not bad."

Jiang Yun looked Lan Wushuang up and down. Although her expression was cold and distant, she looked like she was a thousand miles away from anyone, but it was undeniable that Lan Wushuang was indeed a rare beauty. No wonder those old monsters in Qingyun Sect were willing to carefully plan a grand sacrifice for her virginity.

Lan Wushuang was extremely clear-headed, goal-oriented, and possessed a cold and aloof personality. Coupled with her possessing a Heavenly Rank spiritual root, she was a natural-born cultivator. Facing such a person, Jiang Yun knew that words alone would not move her. Lan Wushuang wouldn't cry until she saw the coffin; she wouldn't trust anyone unless she saw it with her own eyes.

Jiang Yun took a step forward and gently touched Lan Wushuang's forehead, transmitting to her the scene in Qin Tan's memory of planning Lan Wushuang's first night ceremony.

Almost instantly, Lan Wushuang's originally calm eyes were filled with turbulent waves, as if something was about to burst out from her eyes! Her cheeks were stained with a layer of red due to anger, which actually added a bit of moving beauty to her.

Jiang Yun stood quietly by, allowing Lan Wushuang to digest these disgusting memories.

Lan Wushuang closed her eyes for a long moment, a vision of her village being attacked by a demonic force resurfacing in her mind. No one in the village was spared, except her, who had managed to escape. She was saved by a passing elder and became a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

She hadn't understood before how such a powerful demon couldn't see her escape. Now she understood: someone had set up a trap, slaughtering the entire village just to gain her gratitude and loyalty...

When she first entered the sect, she was just a junior sister, with many senior sisters above her. However, as time went by, those senior sisters went out to travel, but were killed one by one by evil spirits. In the end, she became the senior sister of Qingyun Sect...

In the past, whenever she wanted to go out for training, the Great Elder always stopped her with various excuses. She had naively believed that this was her master's care and protection for her. But now, she realized how foolish she had been! How could there be so many demons and evil spirits on the Qingyun Continent? Who else could harm Qingyun Sect disciples except those within the sect?

Those brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, had indeed escaped back to the sect, but they had been isolated by the sect master and elders under the pretext of "treatment." When they were seen again, only emaciated corpses remained. The sect master and elders claimed they had died from the influx of evil spirits. But now, Lan Wushuang finally understood that the true evil spirits were the monsters cultivating their sorcery!
