The road from south to north in Yun Country wasn't easy to travel. Since ancient times, this land has been mountainous, with rolling hills and rugged roads. The arrival of the rainy season made the already rough roads even more muddy.

Jiang Jinchen arranged a carriage for the three people from Xianyun Sect, and he and his daughter rode in another carriage.

The green fields were lush and green, and the rain rustled, so they had to stop for a while at the post stations along the way.

Last night, Jiang Jinchen was extremely happy when he learned that his daughter was going back to Beijing with him.

But he thought about it all night and still couldn't figure out why Yingxue suddenly asked to return to Beijing.

And he didn't return alone, but returned with other disciples of Xianyun Sect.

However, Jiang Jinchen knew that although his daughter was well-behaved, she was firm in her decision-making, so he did not ask any more questions and just accompanied her silently.

Until they arrived at the post station, the rain still showed no sign of stopping. Jiang Jinchen's doubts became more and more uncontrollable, so he decided to take this opportunity to quietly test it out.

He gently patted the curtain beside him and said, "Yingxue, are you planning to take your fellow disciples from the Xianyun Sect to visit the capital this time?"

Jiang Jinchen cautiously probed. After all, Yan Chuan had just been captured by the Demon King's men, and they had a deep relationship, so it was impossible for him to be interested in playing around.

But apart from this, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Jiang Yingxue raised her eyes and quietly gazed at the falling rain outside. The dim light from the carriage reflected on her cold face, showing no signs of emotion. She nodded slowly, her tone calm, "My senior brother just got into trouble. If we go back now, I don't know how to explain this to the Sect Master."

She paused, took a deep breath, her eyes dimmed for a moment, then she regained her composure: "Besides, Yan Chuan is Master's eldest disciple. Something happened to him, and Master is very unhappy. I will take them to the capital to relax."

She knew her father would eventually ask her why, so she had already thought about how to respond.

Seeing his daughter's calm and natural response, Jiang Jinchen didn't suspect anything and instead breathed a sigh of relief. "Right, right, it's time to relax. After all, the capital is the most prosperous place in Yun Country. Since they are fellow disciples of your Xianyun Sect, it's better to take them there to have some fun than elsewhere."

Jiang Yingxue nodded gently, hiding the subtle emotions in her eyes, and then said calmly: "Actually, I returned to the capital not just to take them out for a walk, I also have some things to take care of myself."

"What do you need to deal with?" Jiang Jinchen asked quickly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

She was silent for a moment, then she said softly, "I want to go see my brother, the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness?" Jiang Jinchen frowned. "Then it's time for you to go back. If you go back a month later, you might not be able to see His Highness again."

"Can't see him? Where is he going?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plans to visit Canglan Country."

Jiang Yingxue was stunned when she heard the name Canglan Kingdom: "Crown Prince is going to Canglan Kingdom? What is he going to do?"

Jiang Jinchen sighed, "You've been in the Xianyun Sect the entire time, so I'm afraid you don't know much about court affairs. The Qingxing Palace's prophecy has reached the royal families of all nations. To avoid public panic, this matter is only known to the royal families and a few high-ranking officials. Your Highness the Crown Prince is traveling to Canglan Country to inquire about their plans and see how they will respond to the arrival of the Demon King."

"Like this..." Jiang Yingxue lowered her eyes slightly. That was great. She could just ask the prince to take her over.

She didn't think any more about it, lifted the car curtain, looked at the sky outside, and the rain seemed to be gradually stopping.

The air was moist and fresh, carrying the fragrance of earth and grass, as if everything had come back to life after the rain. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Dad, let's go. I want to see my brother, the Crown Prince, as soon as possible."

Jiang Jinchen was stunned for a moment, a complex and unpredictable emotion in his eyes. He looked at his daughter's calm yet anxious face, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this girl was still obsessed with Shen Yun? But the Queen had made it clear to her that Shen Yun would marry the Princess of Canglan Kingdom in the future, and her daughter couldn't be so frustrated as to be a concubine.

Thinking about it this way, he is not as good as Yan Chuan. The Xu family is in chaos now, and none of the Xu family members have any cultivation skills. But if Yan Chuan can restore his identity at this time, tell everyone that he is not dead, and help others, it will not be a problem for him to get a position in the officialdom.

And it's better to control...

But now he has been captured by the demon king's men. If he was just captured, it would be fine, but if he was possessed by a demon... what should we do?

Why is Yingxue's love life so bumpy? No one she meets is satisfactory.

"Dad?" Jiang Yingxue called Jiang Jinchen twice again: "The rain has stopped now, can we hurry on?"

Jiang Jinchen was brought back to reality by his daughter's voice. He was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: "Ah...Okay, okay."

He quickly ordered the driver to hurry on, but his heart was still heavy and he was worried all the way. He didn't dare to ask again until he returned to the capital.

The wheels made a slight creaking sound on the wet road, and the car was silent.

Jiang Yingxue gently lifted the curtain and looked out the window. The wet leaves were swaying gently in the breeze. Occasionally, a few drops of water slid down from the branches and hit the car window, making a crisp sound.

Yan Chuan, you have to hold on... wait for me...

-

Soon, the carriage team slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Jiang family mansion.

The Jiang family is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, on a vast piece of land surrounded by private estates surrounded by high walls. Even the surrounding streets seem to be shrouded in the atmosphere of this luxurious mansion.

The main gate is two gold-painted wooden doors with exquisite carvings. There are also several guards in red brocade clothes standing guard in front of the door, looking very majestic.

As soon as they got off the car, Wan Jinan and his companions were shocked by the extremely luxurious mansion in front of them.

The grandeur and scale of the mansion far exceeded their expectations. Maids bustled about, servants looked solemn, and the housekeeper stood respectfully by.

Wan Jinan's mouth twitched slightly, then he held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly: "Damn it, no wonder Jiang Yingxuehua never blinks an eye when it comes to money, and she also drives up the price at the auction. How can she be so rich..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ying added, "Besides, his father is a marquis, a great general with great merits. His cultivation level is the same as yours, a Yuanying stage expert. Oh, and the most important thing is that Yingxue herself is a Yuanying stage expert."

Wan Jinan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Which door did the gods close for her?"

Chu Ying sighed, "From the looks of it, it must have been Senior Brother's... I still can't accept the fact that Senior Brother was captured."
