The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Elsewhere, Mo Luyi quickly left the crowd with the two little ones. Her steps were light, like a breeze, and she quickly found a relatively secluded corner. She calmly led the two children into Qianjintai and into a room located high up with a wide view.

After entering the room, Mo Luyi waved her hand and cast a spell, creating a solid barrier around the room. This barrier effectively blocked any sound from entering the room, but it also allowed those inside to observe and hear what was happening outside. After the barrier was set, Mo Luyi gestured for the two children to sit down, while she stood quietly by the window, gazing at the bustling scene below.

Mo Yan looked at the people below and immediately spotted a girl about his own age. He quickly asked his aunt, "Aunt, who is that girl standing there with her head tilted? She's so cute."

Mo Luyi looked in the direction of Mo Yan's finger and recognized the girl. "Her name is Lingsu, and she's the servant of the renowned Master Liu Yue, known for his unrivaled beauty. However, I must warn you, despite her young age, she has a rather bad temper. She's not only good at martial arts, but also at chess. She's a bit of a tsundere and a bit of a venomous snake, but overall, she's quite an interesting girl."

Mo Yan stuck out his tongue after hearing this. "I know, Auntie. But she looks really amazing. I wonder who's more powerful, me or her?"

Zhao Yuzhen stood quietly by, his eyes fixed on the two people enjoying each other's intimacy, and a hint of envy welled up in his heart. However, when he thought about the fact that one of them was his respected uncle and the other was his best friend, this feeling was instantly diluted, replaced by an urge to immediately join in.

Zhao Yuzhen quickly stepped forward, smiling broadly, and said, "In my opinion, you're the better one! Look at that young master Liu Yue—a grown man, wearing a veiled hat and holding a fan. You can tell he pays a lot of attention to his appearance. I imagine his servant wouldn't be much worse off!"

Little Moyan was momentarily confused as Zhao Yuzhen spoke, unsure whether he was praising his diligence and hard work, or hinting at his lack of formality. However, between the lines, he grasped Zhao Yuzhen's belief that he was superior to Lingsu. A bright smile spread across his face, and he nodded obediently, "Well, my parents said that only after I reach the Free and Unrestrained Heaven Realm can I venture out on my own into the martial world."

Zhao Yuzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He turned to look at Mo Lvyi expectantly, his eyes gleaming with desire. He begged eagerly, "Junior Master, I also want to go out into the world with Mo Yan, okay?"

Seeing Zhao Yuzhen so eager, Mo Luyi couldn't help but feel pity for him. She reached out and gently stroked his head, saying soothingly, "Don't worry. Wait until the time comes. I'll ask your master to tell you another fortune. If there are no problems or obstacles, then you can go and explore the world with Mo Yan."

Zhao Yuzhen stared at the scene before him, feeling an indescribable sense of dejection. He had spent a full ten years on Wangcheng Mountain, yet his master had always warned him not to leave. Despite his curiosity and yearning for the world below, every time he mentioned it, his master had refused without hesitation. Zhao Yuzhen wondered if his master would grant his request this time. However, he pondered, believing his master's usual strict demeanor would likely prevent him from agreeing.

At this moment, Mo Yan noticed his friend Zhao Yuzhen's low mood and quickly tried to divert his attention. He said, "Aunt, I heard that Young Master Liu Yue has a peerless beauty. I wonder who is better, him or you?"

Mo Luyi smiled slightly when she heard that, and responded softly: "One of us is a woman and the other is a man, how can we compare? Well, don't just chat, take a good look at these people below. Among them are gifted prodigies, idle dandies, and even... hehe..." At this point, Mo Luyi's tone suddenly became a little strange.

Zhao Yuzhen and Mo Yan keenly noticed this subtle change. They exchanged a quick glance, each revealing deep confusion. Then, they simultaneously turned their gazes to Mo Lvyi, as if hoping to gain an answer from her. Seeing this, Mo Lvyi sighed softly and said slowly, "There are people from Beique mixed in here. Your senior brother might be in trouble."

Zhao Yuzhen frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Are you talking about the Beique who was beaten so badly that he fled to Tianwaitian fifteen years ago?" There was a bit of surprise and disbelief in his voice. His senior brother Wang Yixing had told him about these things.

Mo Luyi nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Yes, it is them. And there is not just one person among them. In that fierce battle, countless soldiers were defeated, but the people from Beique escaped, and they have always held a grudge. Now that they have made a comeback, I am afraid they will set off a bloody storm again!" Her words were full of worry and uneasiness.

At this moment, Zhao Yuzhen inadvertently cast his gaze into the crowd, and suddenly, a figure caught his attention. He saw a man in the crowd dressed in green, with a Peking Opera mask on his face and a beige cloak draped over his body.

Zhao Yuzhen couldn't help but look a few more times, feeling that the figure looked more and more familiar. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him: this person's figure was particularly familiar. It was actually his senior brother—Wang Yixing! But why was he here, dressed like this? Zhao Yuzhen, full of confusion, quickly pointed at Wang Yixing and turned to ask Mo Luyi beside him, "Little Master, look, isn't that my senior brother? Why is he here to take the exam?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Luyi looked in the direction Zhao Yuzhen pointed and, as expected, spotted Wang Yixing. After a moment's thought, she replied, "I know about this matter. It was your master's instruction. However, your senior brother isn't here to learn from you; he's just here for a formality."

After listening to Mo Luyi's explanation, Zhao Yuzhen nodded in sudden enlightenment and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Since the master asked him to come, there shouldn't be any problem." After that, he continued to focus his attention back on the ongoing school examination.
