The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Xiao Ruojin stood up and slowly unfolded the scroll. Ever since Xiao Ruofeng saw her paintings last time, he had put them all away, leaving only one here.

The scroll depicted a beautiful woman in a long white dress, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face, like a fairy from heaven. He gazed at the woman in the painting, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

Xiao Ruojin pondered to himself, "If I propose to my father a marriage alliance with Wangcheng Mountain, I wonder what the chances of success are. Considering my father's consistent fear of Mr. Li, this might be a promising idea..."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a faint smile gradually spread across his face. This smile contained both anticipation and a certain amount of confidence, as if he had already seen the beautiful prospect of the marriage being successfully completed.

However, when Xiao Ruojin recalled the time when Xiao Ruofeng lectured him after seeing the painting, he couldn't help but feel angry. He knew that if Xiao Ruofeng knew about this, he would definitely try to stop it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiao Ruojin secretly made up his mind that no matter what, Xiao Ruofeng must not know about this matter.

Not only that, he also had to speed up his actions and complete this matter as quickly as possible to avoid any unexpected changes or accidents...

At this moment, Mo Luyi suddenly appeared beside Li Changsheng and the others. It turned out that she had just finished checking everyone's spiritual roots.

Mo Luyi noticed that there was no movement coming from the rooftop. Puzzled, she decided to go up to the rooftop to investigate. However, upon reaching the rooftop, she saw two people standing together chatting.

Yu Shengmo was sharp-eyed and was the first to notice Mo Luyi's appearance. He quickly turned to Li Changsheng and asked, "Li Changsheng, do you recognize this woman? I wonder how her martial arts skills compare to yours?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Could it be that the reason you didn't come here to fight me this time was because of her?"

Yu Shengmo nodded solemnly and explained, "To be honest, I happened to see her practicing swordsmanship on the way here. At the time, I felt that her sword energy was powerful and majestic, and her strength seemed unfathomable! I aspire to be the best in the world, but if her martial arts are far superior to yours, then fighting you would be meaningless. So please tell me, who is stronger between the two of you?"

At this time, Baili Dongjun, who had been standing in the back, said to Xie Xuan, "I was really looking forward to seeing a wonderful duel, but how could I have imagined it would turn out like this?"

Xie Xuanrao glanced at him and said, "Do you want to see them fight?"

Baili Dongjun scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "Uh...don't you want to witness the ultimate showdown between two sword immortals with your own eyes?"

Xie Xuan nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "I really want to see it."

Baili Dongjun looked at Xie Xuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Then why do you act like you don't want them to fight? Shouldn't you be looking forward to this exciting duel?"

Xie Xuan frowned slightly, shook his head gently, and said in a serious tone: "Do you know that if these two really start fighting, I'm afraid that at least half of Tianqi City will be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Baili Dongjun couldn't help but gasp, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Mo Luyi turned her gaze to Yu Shengmo and said with a cold look: "If I am stronger than Li Changsheng, with your strength, even Li Changsheng can hardly be defeated, how can you be my opponent? And if I am not as good as Li Changsheng, if you can defeat Li Changsheng, then defeating me is a matter of course. So, why bother asking this question?" Her words were as sharp as a knife, piercing Yu Shengmo's heart.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shengmo secretly thought that what Mo Luyi said made sense, but then he remembered the second reason he came here, so he turned to ask, "Where is Ye... Dingzhi now?"

Mo Luyi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is your relationship with him? Why are you looking for him?"

Yu Shengmo remained calm and replied frankly, "I am his adoptive father."

However, Mo Luyi sneered and snorted coldly, "I have never heard that he has any adoptive father." Ye Dingzhi was raised by his brother and sister-in-law in this life, but he did not expect to meet Yu Shengmo. The fate between people is really wonderful.

Yu Shengmo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Who are you to him? Why did he tell you this? Could it be... that you are his little wife?" As he said this, he looked at him with a scrutinizing look, obviously he really thought so.

Li Changsheng hurriedly said, "Shut up! This is Master Ye Dingzhi's biological sister, and Ye Dingzhi's junior uncle. She's really old, and she has no sense at all."

Yu Shengmo, who was standing nearby, had a look of sudden realization on his face after hearing this. He then turned his gaze to the woman and exclaimed, "So this is the junior master-disciple that Yun'er often mentioned—Mo Luyi! Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is truly well-deserved. No wonder you possess such formidable swordsmanship."

Mo Luyi looked at him and tried to change the subject, then asked, "You haven't explained to me what's going on yet? How did you become Ye Dingzhi's adoptive father?"

Yu Shengmo narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts drifting back to that distant past. He sighed softly and spoke slowly, "At that time, I was at a critical juncture in my journey to a breakthrough, but I accidentally went astray in my practice, causing my internal Qi to flow wildly, leaving me unable to resist the enemy. It was at that moment that my enemies learned of this, seized the opportunity, and gathered together to lay siege to me. Just when my life was hanging by a thread, it was Yun'er who pulled me back from the brink."

At this point, Yu Shengmo's face lit up with gratitude, but then a subtle sly slyness flashed across his face. He continued, "When I saw Yun'er, despite his youth, possessing such impressive martial arts skills, I was truly captivated. I considered taking him in as my disciple, passing on all I had learned. But who could have imagined that not only had he already reached the Free and Unrestrained Heaven Realm, but he also already had a master. Alas, what a pity!"

However, Yu Shengmo had deliberately concealed some of the truth. In fact, in order to get Ye Dingzhi to recognize him as his adoptive father, he had put in a lot of thought and effort.

First, she deliberately acted pitiful and miserable in front of Ye Dingzhi to gain his sympathy. Then she told Ye Dingzhi that she felt there was a special fate between them.
