As she got closer, she kicked each of their captors to the ground, and at the same moment, Ye Jinxuan also moved.

He swiftly wielded the vines in his hand and tied up the people on this side as well.

This change happened in an instant. At the same time, Cheng Ying summoned a huge lightning bolt that struck Ye Qingzhao directly!

Although Ye Qingzhao wanted to dodge, the lightning pillar was too powerful and too fast, and he was eventually hit.

But at the last moment, he still shouted, "Ah! Set them on fire and burn them all to death..." Ye Qingzhao fainted before she could finish speaking.

Ye Qingzhao's people were quite obedient, throwing the lit torches toward the dry wood.

In an instant, a fire broke out. Because the dry firewood was coated with kerosene, the fire burned very quickly, and everyone gasped in surprise.

"Quickly save people! Find water to put out the fire!" Ye Shengtang shouted anxiously.

The crowd rushed forward, intending to put out the fire, but the dozens of people Ye Qingzhao brought stubbornly stood in their way and stopped them.

Left with no other choice, they stepped forward to meet the enemy. Ye Wuhen, Chu Qiao, and Liu Haoyang also drew their weapons and fought against them.

At this tense moment, the fire grew more and more intense, and it looked like the situation was getting out of control. Just then, Shi Mobai quickly activated his water-based superpower.

One after another, water jets shot from all around his body toward the fire.

As the water hose reached the area, the fire was gradually suppressed, and the crowd took advantage of this opportunity to rush over and rescue people.

Ye Jinxuan used vines to pull out the trapped officials' families one by one. The Duke of Anguo and his wife, Cao Bingjun's wife and daughter, and others were all out of danger.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ye Qingzhao's men also put down their weapons. When Ye Huaiwu saw Ye Qingzhao, who was being hacked to pieces and seemed to be dead, he collapsed to the ground with a blank look in his eyes.

Ye Shengtang walked to the unconscious Ye Qingzhao, looked at him, and sighed. "You shouldn't have ended up like this."

The crisis was temporarily averted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

Subsequently, Ye Shengtang announced that a thorough investigation would be conducted into the rebellion, and Ye Qingzhao would receive the punishment he deserved.

At the same time, Cheng Ying also sent the good news to Chen Han, "Tong'er, is what you said true?"

“That’s great, I’ll inform the Empress Dowager and the Empress immediately.”

Cheng Ying smiled as she listened to her uncle's delighted voice on the other end of the line. After hanging up, Ye Wuhen, Ye Jinxuan, and the others were personally led by the Emperor to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

……

After everything settled down, the Emperor fulfilled his promise the next day. He had initially planned to bestow the title of County Princess upon Cheng Ying after her return from Lanzhou, but because of Cheng Ying's great contributions, the title was changed from County Princess to Princess of Fortune.

Furthermore, he was granted a residence in Lin'an City as Cheng Ying's home.

Looking at the Princess's mansion before him, Lin Zeyang felt a mix of emotions. He was happy for his daughter but also a little awkward, and he felt even more pressure.

He originally wanted to use his own abilities to provide a protective umbrella for his daughter, but before he could rise to power, his daughter had already been granted the title of princess by the emperor.

It was as if his daughter was dispensable whether she had him or not, so he was feeling very down at that moment.

Seeing Lin Zeyang's expression, Cheng Ying asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Aren't you happy for all that I have?"

Lin Zeyang helplessly explained the reason: "Daughter, the fact that the Emperor issued an edict to bestow upon you the title of Princess shows that our daughter has the ability, and I am proud of you as your father."

"But what I regret is that I can't use my abilities to provide you with a bigger protective umbrella, because I'm afraid that if anything happens to you in the future, I won't be able to help you much."

"Daughter, you are amazing. Your father's ability to develop is not enough. I need to work harder."

Cheng Ying was deeply moved by Lin Zeyang's profound feelings when she heard him say that.

This must be the legendary fatherly love!

"Father, you don't need to blame yourself. Just let things take their course. You've already done a great job."

"Haven't you realized it yet? Ever since I took a divine master as my master, I'm no longer an ordinary person. You'll have to get used to all of this!"

"As I grow older, I will become even more amazing, and I will always make you proud of me."

"As long as you, Mom, and my brothers are all well, and all my relatives are by my side, I will be very content."

"Okay! Dad will remember." Lin Zeyang was also deeply moved. To have such a thoughtful daughter must be a blessing from his past life.

"By the way, Father, since the Emperor has granted me a residence, let's bring Mother and my brother here!"

"And what about Grandpa and Grandma? Besides, the imperial examinations next spring will also be held in Jingzhou City. Why don't we let my older brothers come here to study as well?"

"That way, our whole family can settle down and we won't have to travel back and forth anymore."

Lin Zeyang nodded and said, "Okay, I will discuss this with your mother."
