The next day, the early morning sunlight filtered through the window lattices of Yueyuan Mansion and poured into the spacious restaurant. The air was filled with the aroma of fresh food.

Jun Lingyuan, Feng Qingyue, Feng Qingcheng and Ouyang Wanqing sat quietly at the long table, enjoying breakfast.

Feng Qingyue gently stirred the porridge in the bowl, looking slightly thoughtful. She glanced at Jun Lingyuan from time to time, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

She put down her chopsticks, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "There have been too many things going on recently. This morning I remembered something - how is Su Jin doing after I left?"

Her words were full of concern, yet tinged with a hint of confusion.

After all, when she left, Su Jin's identity remained unclear, which made her feel uneasy.

When Jun Lingyuan heard this question, his eyes became slightly serious. He put down his chopsticks and glanced at Feng Qingyue's face, as if he was considering how to answer.

After a moment, he said in a low voice: “After you left, Feng Qingyue stayed in the palace for a short time, and then returned to the general’s mansion with Feng Qingcheng.

Su Jin didn't want to return home, nor did she want to stay in the palace. She seemed a little hesitant at the time, so I let her go."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, and he was obviously a little confused about Su Jin's leaving alone.

Feng Qingyue's heart sank, she frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "How do I know where she is now?"

Jun Lingyuan was silent for a moment, and his tone became even lower: "I don't know. She never contacted us after she left, and her whereabouts are unknown."

After hearing this, Feng Qingyue felt even heavier in her heart, filled with doubts and powerlessness.

At this moment, Feng Qingcheng suddenly spoke, her tone calm but with a hint of deep meaning, her eyes fixed on Feng Qingyue: "Isn't Su Jin the maidservant beside Yue'er before? How do you know her?"

Feng Qingcheng gently put down the bowl, a faint smile on her lips: "Didn't I say it yesterday? I once existed in your world, but you all forgot."

Feng Qingyue felt confused and shook her head, her heart full of bewilderment.

After breakfast, Jun Lingyuan stood up, turned to Feng Qingyue and said, "We have something to discuss. Qingyue, please follow me to Xuanyuan Pavilion."

He paused, then added: "Qingcheng, take Miss Ouyang out for a walk and relax for a while."

After Feng Qingyue and the other person left, Feng Qingcheng did not leave immediately. He turned around and called Qian San.

"Qian San, come here." Feng Qingcheng's tone was cold and her eyes were sharp.

Qian San respectfully walked up to Feng Qingcheng and bowed his head, saying, "Master Feng, what can I do for you?"

Feng Qingcheng was silent for a moment, then her gaze slashed at Qian San like a knife: "Is Feng Qingyue the goddess of Lan Country? How did the monarch of Lan Country agree to let your master take her away?"

Qian San was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Master Feng, Miss Feng is not the goddess of Lan Country. Our master and I have never seen the goddess of Lan Country."

Feng Qingcheng raised her brows slightly, more doubts rising in her heart, and she asked anxiously: "Then who is she?"

Qian San's tone was a little heavy: "We met Miss Feng on the way. She was very excited when she saw me. She said she knew me and wanted to meet the master."

After hearing this, Feng Qingcheng frowned, obviously not expecting such a situation.

Qian San suddenly looked up, his expression solemn: "Miss Feng is also the head of the Beiyan Sky Dome Pavilion."

Feng Qingcheng's eyes flashed with shock and suspicion when she heard the news. Beiyan Tianqiong Pavilion, a prestigious organization in the north, held a significant position.

Feng Qingcheng took a deep breath, stood up, and said firmly: "You step down."

Qian San nodded respectfully and stepped back. Feng Qingcheng sighed softly, her heart full of confusion and shock.

"Ms. Ouyang, sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go." Feng Qingcheng looked at Ouyang Wanqing who was still waiting outside the room.

Ouyang Wanqing shook her head slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "No hurry, let's go."

The two of them left together and walked out of the courtyard of Yueyuan Mansion.

At the same time, Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan arrived at the gate of Xuanyuan Pavilion and met a charming woman head-on.

She walked up to Jun Lingyuan with light steps, with a smile in her eyes, and tried to hold his hand.

Jun Lingyuan noticed her movements, frowned slightly, and quickly put his hands behind his back to avoid her.

Seeing that she failed to hold Jun Lingyuan's hand, the woman said delicately, "Brother Lingyuan, where have you been recently? Xing'er came to look for you several times, but they said you were not there."

Jun Lingyuan's expression was cold, and his tone was filled with impatience: "Princess, do you have something to ask me?"

Jiang Huaxing didn't answer him. Instead, he turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue who was standing beside him and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

A cold light flashed in Jun Lingyuan's eyes, and he immediately pulled Feng Qingyue behind him.

His tone was cold and decisive: "The princess is in charge of too much. I don't need to tell you who she is. If there is nothing else, please go back."

He pulled Feng Qingyue and ignored Jiang Huaxing, walking forward.

Jiang Huaxing stood there in a daze, anger flashing in his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

She looked at Jun Lingyuan angrily, her tone filled with grievance and dissatisfaction: "Brother Lingyuan, how could you do this to me? I came to see you so many times, but you avoided me. Now you don't even give me a chance to meet you!"

Jun Lingyuan didn't stop, but just glanced at her coldly, his eyes expressionless. "You came here to see me, you must have something to say, not to vent your emotions. If there is nothing else, please go back."

His tone was low and intimidating, and it was obvious that he would not allow her to continue to make unreasonable entanglements.

Jiang Huaxing was stunned, her eyes wide open, obviously unable to believe that Jun Lingyuan would respond to her like that.

She bit her lip and finally did not continue to pester him. Instead, she turned around coldly and glanced at Feng Qingyue silently.

She was filled with mixed emotions—jealousy, suspicion, even anger. Why was this woman standing with Brother Ling Yuan? Who was she?

Feng Qingyue felt Jiang Huaxing's gaze, frowned, and a sense of vigilance arose in her heart.

She didn't say anything, but just stood quietly behind Jun Lingyuan, waiting for further developments.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Huaxing suppressed his anger and said coldly.

She turned to leave, but when she passed Feng Qingyue, she suddenly stopped and whispered provocatively, "I really want to know who you are that could make Brother Ling Yuan be so tolerant of you."

Feng Qingyue just glanced at her indifferently, her eyes were cold and firm, without any fluctuation, and she had no intention of arguing with her.

Seeing that Feng Qingyue did not respond, Jiang Huaxing felt unwilling and finally left angrily.

Jun Lingyuan brought Feng Qingyue to the study. After closing the door, he turned to face her.

Feng Qingyue was still sitting at the table, looking at Jun Lingyuan intently.

Seeing her staring at him, Jun Lingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of helplessness and vigilance: "Qingyue, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't look at me like that, it's creepy."

Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Jokingly: "Who was that girl just now? It seems that she has some feelings for you."

"Her name is Jiang Huaxing, and she's the princess of Xingli Country. When I first arrived in Xingli Country, I reached some cooperation with her father, and I would occasionally go to the palace to discuss it. As for her... we just had some interactions, and there was no other intention at all."

There was a hint of firmness in his eyes and tone, as if he was emphasizing that his relationship with Jiang Huaxing was not complicated, in order to clarify any possible misunderstandings.

He paused, then added, "I promise, I never let her get close to me. You just saw it."

Feng Qingyue's smile deepened, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

She didn't ask any further questions, but just smiled softly. Her expression remained gentle, and her tone was a little joking: "Yes, I saw it."
