The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Ye Dingzhi nodded slightly. Although there was still confusion in his deep eyes, when he thought of the almost blind confidence that his master and other fellow disciples had long shown in his junior uncle, an inexplicable sense of trust arose spontaneously, as if an invisible force was telling him that he could trust his junior uncle without reservation.

At this moment, Bai Hehuai's pretty face was filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction. She frowned and couldn't help but grumble and complain, "Aunt Luyi, why do we have to wait until the academy exam is over?"

Mo Luyi smiled slightly, patted her hand and whispered to comfort her: "He Huai, don't be anxious. The final exam of the school is coming soon, and time is really too tight. Besides, things have come to this point, it won't matter if you wait a few more days, right?" After that, her eyes swept over the crowd gently.

"Alright, alright, everyone, please go back for now," Mo Lvyi said, waving her arms to shoo everyone away. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Ye Dingzhi and said calmly, "Dingzhi, you should also hurry up and prepare for the upcoming final exam."

Hearing this, Ye Dingzhi was puzzled and thought to himself: What is there to prepare for this final exam? His real purpose in coming here was to deal with the Green King. As for whether he could become Mr. Li's closed disciple, he didn't care. He already had Master Mo Yi, so why would he need another master?

Zhuo Yuean and Bai Hehuai on the side also looked shocked and looked at Mo Luyi together, as if wanting to get a more reasonable explanation from her.

Mo Luyi explained with a serious and earnest expression, "Hey guys, do you know this academy exam is no easy feat? Several people have sneaked in, and without exception, their targets are all your close brother, Baili Dongjun."

Hearing this, Ye Dingzhi's heart trembled, and he instantly forgot about Yi Wenjun and the others. His brow furrowed, his mind racing, trying to recall every face he had encountered during the academy exam. After a moment's contemplation, he began to analyze, "In that case, that little gambling king must be one of them. I'm absolutely certain she's not the real person. I met her once at the inn, and she looked completely different then than she does now during the academy exam. From her clothing to her demeanor and temperament, there's a world of difference. Therefore, this little gambling king must be a fake."

Mo Lvyi listened to Ye Dingzhi's words and nodded slightly in agreement. Seeing this, Ye Dingzhi recalled another person and continued, "There's also that magician named Zhao Yujia. I remember Dongjun, who was there at the time, even joked, 'My name is Zhao Yuzhen.' You know, we all know that Junior Master's nephew is named Zhao Yuzhen. So, in my opinion, this Zhao Yujia might also be..." At this point, Ye Dingzhi paused and turned his gaze to Mo Lvyi, as if waiting for her response and judgment.

Mo Luyi nodded slightly, agreeing, "Yes, that Zhao Yujia is indeed from Wangcheng Mountain. Actually, his true identity is Yu Zhen's senior brother—Wang Yixing! As for this person, you don't have to be wary of him at all. In fact, under certain circumstances, you can even trust him. He's here to participate in this academy exam because he was entrusted by someone to specifically protect Baili Dongjun's safety. So, in a sense, he's one of yours."

Bai Hehuai frowned slightly and asked, "Who else is there?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Dingzhi fell into deep thought, trying to recall the people he had met. Images flooded his mind, but no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't recall anyone else besides those two. Finally, he shook his head helplessly, choosing to give up on the question. He then cast a gaze filled with doubt and expectation at Mo Lvyi, who stood beside him.

Mo Luyi had been observing Ye Dingzhi's reaction. When she saw that he truly couldn't remember, she sighed softly and gave him some hints. Mo Luyi's red lips parted slightly, and she said slowly, "Actually, there's another person. You might not be able to see their face clearly because they always wear a black robe that covers their entire body."

After hearing Mo Luyi's suggestion, Ye Dingzhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as striking as lightning across the night sky. Unable to contain his excitement, he slammed the table, leaping up from his chair like a spring, and exclaimed, "I remember there was this person! That guy named Zhuge, Zhuge Yun! He's a master of the art of Qimen Dunjia. When he first appeared, he was clad in a black robe, completely covered from head to toe."

Mo Luyi nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "Yes, it's him."

However, Bai Hehuai still had a puzzled look on her face. She asked in confusion, "But why did they hide their true identities? And, Aunt Luyi, why did you assert that they were coming for Baili Dongjun?"

Mo Luyi smiled slightly and explained: "The reason is not complicated. The reason they acted this way is nothing more than to avoid some unnecessary trouble. After all, their identity is quite sensitive. They are a country that was almost destroyed by Beili. If it weren't for it..." Thinking about how Ye Yu gave Beique a glimmer of hope, but now it is his son who is in trouble, I don't know if he will regret it.

Bai Hehuai saw Mo Luyi pause and asked quickly: "What if it wasn't for what happened back then?"

Mo Luyi came to her senses and continued, "They retreated to the Outer Heavens, and now they've re-entered Beili. If their existence were exposed, it would likely lead to a multitude of incidents. Because of this, they even ruthlessly slaughtered the entire Zhuge family." At this point, Mo Luyi couldn't help but sigh softly, a look of regret on her face. Because the Zhuge family was only mentioned once in the entire story, it wasn't a deep impression, so she hadn't remembered them enough to intervene in time. Even if she wanted to salvage the situation now, it was too late.

Ye Dingzhi asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Then why on earth would they go after Dongjun? It was my father who led the troops to attack Beique. Now I'm the only one left in the General's Mansion. If they want revenge, they should go to me. Why would they go to Dongjun? Is it because their family is on good terms with ours? But that doesn't make sense either. Isn't the person they should go to the most right now that damn emperor?"
