"What?" Jiang Jinchen frowned. "So, the implication is that Yan Chuan was spotted by the demon king's men and captured?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded.

"Now what?"

Jiang Yingxue swallowed, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Jinchen with a firm gaze: "Dad, please arrange a room for me. I want to discuss it with my master and fellow disciples."

She must cheer up quickly. She must stop the Demon King from coming to the world and get Yan Chuan back.

"Okay, okay. Dad will go and book you the most luxurious room in the inn right away."

Jiang Jinchen hurriedly booked the largest room in the city for Jiang Yingxue.

-

In the huge room, the sunlight outside the window shines through the gauze curtains, casting mottled light and shadows. The whole atmosphere is quiet and slightly depressing.

Beside the table, the four masters and apprentices sat quietly. The atmosphere was so solemn that everyone felt an inexplicable tension.

Wan Jinan was the first to break the silence. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "Yingxue, tell me, Master, do you have any good ideas about Yan Chuan?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded: "But before that, I want to tell you something."

"You said."

Jiang Yingxue said seriously, "The second prophecy of Qingxing Palace mentioned that there are two ways to eliminate the Demon King. One is for all sects to resolutely eliminate evil, and the other is to wait for the arrival of the savior."

"That's right." Wan Jin'an pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed even more. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly asked, "Do you know who the savior is? Any clue?"

Jiang Yingxue took a deep breath and said slowly, "I think I should be the savior."

"What!?"

The three of them said in unison and stood up.

Wan Jinan stood there in a daze, his hand pointing at her almost stiff, his voice trembling, unable to hide his emotions: "You, you, you...you must not be kidding...No, how did you suddenly become the savior? Why didn't you tell me before?"

He was almost incoherent and his eyes were confused. He really couldn't reconcile Jiang Yingxue's words with her usual image.

Jiang Yingxue said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm not telling you because... it's too much trouble. I'm not a powerful figure. I don't want to save the world, I just want to live comfortably. And I'm just guessing, I'm not sure if this savior is me."

"Then why do you guess that you are the savior?"

"Yes," Chu Ying chimed in. "And the prophecy also says the savior will come from another world. But you're the daughter of Yun Nation's Loyal and Brave Marquis! How could you possibly be from another world?"

Seeing Jiang Yingxue silent for a while, Chu Ying's lips twitched: "No, are you really from another world?"

"To be precise, I have lived two lives. I was reincarnated into this life with the memories of my previous life."

As she spoke, Jiang Yingxue recounted how she had been treated like a slave and died suddenly in her previous life, and how she had been reincarnated as a rich lady in this life, as well as what she had been seeking in this life.

Chu Ying raised her voice suddenly: "So what you mean is that the world we are in now is a book you have read!?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded: "That's right."

"And that He Qingfeng is actually the protagonist of this book!?"

Jiang Yingxue was a little helpless: "Yes."

"So what am I like in the book?"

Jiang Yingxue shrugged. "According to the book, you lost a bet with He Qingfeng, went down the mountain in disgrace, and then encountered some bad things. After that, you turned evil and became He Qingfeng's enemy."

Chu Ying sighed. "No wonder I always felt like I was born to be at odds with him. It turns out it was destined! Hey, come to think of it, when you helped me—"

"Hmm..." Jiang Yingxue lowered her eyes: "I want to help you defeat He Qingfeng so that you don't have to go through the bad things that happened later."

Chu Ying's eyes widened when she heard this. She covered her mouth with both hands, too shocked to speak. "Oh my God..."

Her expression shifted from initial confusion to shock, and then to admiration and emotion, as if all this was too absurd, yet also incredibly real: "Now I believe it. You are definitely the savior! Even if you're not the savior, you'll definitely be my savior!"

"Alright, alright," Wan Jinan interrupted them. "So, Yingxue, let's just assume you're the savior for now. What are you going to do?"

Jiang Yingxue turned her eyes away slightly. "Didn't the prophecy say that it would leave me with a power at the end? According to the plot in the book, the ending is in the palace of Canglan Kingdom."

Wan Jinan frowned slightly: "Inside the palace?"

There was doubt in his voice, but more of it was worry: "If it were somewhere else, it might be easier to get it, but it has to be in the palace of Canglan Kingdom..."

Cen Yizhi nodded and said, "Yes, the Canglan Kingdom's palace is notoriously heavily guarded. We can't get in."

Chu Ying immediately retorted, "But Yingxue went in as a savior. This is the savior of the world, including the Canglan Nation. Shouldn't Yingxue be allowed in at this critical moment?"

"No." Wan Jin'an tapped the table lightly with his index finger. "This situation is still a little different. After all, Yingxue also speculates that she is the savior. If she is indeed the savior, and the palace is indeed the so-called ending, then of course it is the best. But if not, if we break in, the Canglan Kingdom might charge us with deceiving the emperor. And if this news gets out and the Demon King's people know about it, we might be in danger."

"That's right." Jiang Yingxue agreed, "Besides, the Demon King has many subordinates now. Maybe there are also people from his group in the Canglan Kingdom's palace. So this matter must be kept secret."

As she spoke, her gaze slowly turned towards Chu Ying and Cen Yizi, her expression remaining calm. "By the way, aren't you two from the wealthy families of Canglan Country? Are you familiar with the people in the palace? Is there any way you can get me in?"

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing across her brows: "Although we are from an aristocratic family, usually only the head of an aristocratic family or those who hold official positions have the opportunity to see the emperor. If my father brought us in, he would have no legitimate reason."

"That's right..." Jiang Yingxue sighed.

"Oh, right." Cen Yizi suddenly remembered something: "Yingxue, aren't you very familiar with the Crown Prince of your Yun Kingdom? Perhaps you can ask the Crown Prince of Yun Kingdom to take you there? The noble family has no legitimate reason to take you, but it's normal for His Royal Highness to have one or two maids to accompany him, right?"

Jiang Yingxue's eyes lit up: "Yeah! Why didn't I think of that! And we happen to be in Yun Country right now!"

She nodded slowly, a little more hope in her heart: "My father will return to Beijing tomorrow, and tomorrow the four of us will return to Beijing with him!"
