My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Yan Xin was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

"So what if he's a little better at kung fu? Is it really worth all this?"

"Young Master, it's not just about kung fu!" Yan Zhengquan was extremely anxious. He rushed in front of him and said, "His Majesty can also conjure objects out of thin air, and use magic to trap us without any materials. He can also disappear and reappear out of thin air."

He was anxious and hoped Yan Xin would quickly believe him and stop saying anything disrespectful to His Majesty the Divine Lord. His words were hurried and somewhat incoherent, but he couldn't care less about that now.

He said urgently, "Besides, even if you didn't see any of that, just now, do you dare say that was kung fu? What kind of kung fu is that fast? Is it really just a matter of being a little better at kung fu?"

"My lord, stop deceiving yourself. Accept reality and join us in pledging allegiance to His Majesty the Divine Lord! Serving Emperor Zhou Gong is loyalty, and serving His Majesty the Divine Lord is loyalty. Why not choose His Majesty the Divine Lord?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ji Yunshuang. Seeing that Ji Yunshuang hadn't noticed him, he quickly winked at Yan Xin. He silently prayed, "Young Master, you and the Lord must not try any more of those petty schemes to use His Majesty the Divine Lord to fight for the world."

Yan Xin did not understand the implication in Yan Zhengquan's mind.

He thought Yan Zhengquan meant that they were all pretending to be loyal to Ji Yunshuang, and that he should also pretend to be loyal to Ji Yunshuang before taking action.

He didn't have time to think about what they planned to do next.

His expression shifted several times before he finally bowed stiffly to Ji Yunshuang and said, "I...I am also willing to pledge my allegiance to you. I wonder what benefits you can offer me after I pledge my allegiance?"

Yan Zhengquan quickly pulled him back, saying, "Young Master, how can you talk about benefits with His Majesty the Divine Lord? His Majesty has already shown great magnanimity by not holding our mistakes against us and sparing our lives. How dare we hope for anything more?"

Yang Zhao and others echoed Yan Zhengquan's words.

Yan Xin looked at the faces of the crowd and found their fawning expressions extremely irritating. They had never been so obsequious when facing them before.

When he was in front of Ji Yunshuang, he immediately became as obsequious as a dog.

However, they thought that they were only pretending to submit to Ji Yunshuang, and that their current appearance was just to lull Ji Yunshuang into a false sense of security.

He suppressed his anger and instead followed Yan Zhengquan's words, saying, "I was confused and spoke rashly just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ji Yunshuang looked at him indifferently.

She could naturally see that Yan Xin was not truly submitting to her.

But she didn't say anything, instead she said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, she strode forward.

Yan Xin watched her retreating figure and quickly asked Yan Zhengquan, "Where are you going?"

Yan Zhengquan said, "We are going to the Prince's residence now to apologize to him. We hope he can forgive us."

After saying that, seeing that they had fallen behind, he urged, "Young master, hurry up! You know more than we do, so you must explain things clearly to the young master later."

Yan Xin's eyes widened, his face showing disbelief. He had thought Yan Zhengquan and the others were just pretending to be loyal to Ji Yunshuang, but this didn't seem like it at all!

He grabbed Yan Zhengquan and whispered, "Really going to the Prince's residence? What's your plan?"

Yan Zhengquan was puzzled and lowered his voice as well, asking, "What plan?"

What kind of plans could he possibly have?

Yan Xin asked incredulously, "You really intend to apologize to Fu Ci and confess everything?"

"What else?" Yan Zhengquan's eyes also showed disbelief. "Does Young Master perhaps have some other idea?"

"You actually betrayed us, father and son!" Yan Xin said angrily. Seeing that the two of them had fallen to the back of the group, while Ji Yunshuang was walking at the front and had not noticed them at all, he turned and ran.

He had only run a few steps when a distorted expression appeared on his face.

There was clearly nothing in front of him, but it was as if he had hit an incredibly solid wall, and he couldn't get past it no matter what he did.

He refused to believe it and turned to run away, but he encountered the same situation as before.

Yan Zhengquan looked at him and instantly understood.

They certainly wanted to escape at that time.

Is it possible to escape?

Therefore, when they went to Fu Ci’s residence with Ji Yunshuang, there were no soldiers guarding them, and Ji Yunshuang did not put any handcuffs or shackles on them. However, no one thought of escaping, because they did not want to do anything in vain.

Yan Xin was still wandering around like a headless fly, searching for a way out.

He went over and advised, "Young master, don't struggle anymore, it's useless. She really is a goddess, you saw it yourself, there's nothing in front of her, but she just can't get out."

She must have used magic!

If she doesn't want to let you go, you can't escape. Let's hurry and follow her to confess! Otherwise, it'll be too late if the gods get angry!

Yan Xin stared at him blankly, still unable to believe that Ji Yunshuang was truly a deity. But the situation before him was beyond his comprehension; he simply couldn't understand what was happening, and he had no way to escape.

In the end, he could only let Yan Zhengquan drag him away to chase after Ji Yunshuang.

Yan Zhengquan said, "When you see His Majesty later, kneel down, be sincere, and sincerely admit your mistakes. Beg His Majesty to forgive you."

Her Majesty surely knows about your attempt to escape. She definitely knows that your previous promises of loyalty were feigned. You must apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness.

Should we make him kneel down and kowtow to Ji Yunshuang?

Yan Xin was filled with resistance.

He didn't want to kneel down and beg a woman, especially one they had always considered an enemy.

He didn't believe it; he wanted to try again.

He shoved Yan Zhengquan away violently and charged towards Ji Yunshuang. But before he could touch Ji Yunshuang, he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Young Master!" Yan Zhengquan shouted and ran over quickly. Yan Xin's eyes had already rolled back, and he had fainted.

Yan Zhengquan knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I thought he had truly come to his senses and wanted to be loyal to Your Majesty, but I did not expect that he had other intentions. It is all my fault for not discovering his disloyalty in time, which has frightened Your Majesty."

Ji Yunshuang said calmly, "This is not your fault. What he thinks and does has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourselves for it."

As she spoke, she subtly used her mind to move Yan Xin into the space.

She didn't want to kill Yan Xin just like that, but she also couldn't lose face in front of the old guard of the Yan family. So keeping the unconscious Yan Xin imprisoned in her spatial storage was a convenient and efficient solution.

But no one knew that Yan Xin had gone into a different dimension.

They assumed that Ji Yunshuang had dealt with Yan Xin in the blink of an eye.

Yan Xin didn't even leave behind a corpse...

The crowd felt even more fear of Ji Yunshuang's power.

When they arrived in front of Fu Ci, they dared not harbor any ulterior motives and confessed everything about how they had framed him and what their plans were.

After everyone finished explaining, Ji Yunshuang looked at Fu Ci and said, "Third Senior Brother, it's up to you how you want to deal with them."

Upon hearing the word "Third Senior Brother," Fu Ci felt a pang of bitterness and sorrow in his heart. Ultimately, it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

However, she still acknowledges him as her third senior brother... well, it's good that he's her third senior brother. After all, they're still fellow disciples...

He suppressed his thoughts and said, "Junior Sister, what do you think is the best way to handle this? I'll listen to your advice."

"They may have made mistakes, but they were simply following their master's orders. Their mistakes do not warrant death. I think we should give them a chance to reform."

Ji Yunshuang said, "However, this time, our third senior brother almost lost his life because of their scheming. He is still lying in bed recovering from his injuries. It is best if our third senior brother decides how to punish him."

Fu Ci said, "My minor injury is nothing to worry about; the bigger picture is more important. If one plan fails, they will surely come up with another. Junior Sister, what do you think we should do to break this deadlock?"

Ji Yunshuang turned her gaze to Yan Zhengquan and the others, and said, "What do you think we should do now?"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; was this a test of their loyalty and ability?

Yan Zhengquan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Since the incident involving the Crown Prince, the city gates have been sealed off immediately. The news that His Majesty is in the city and that the Crown Prince is safe and sound should not have spread yet."

"I think we can take this opportunity to send a message to the capital, making Emperor Zhou Gong think our plan has succeeded, and then lower his guard..."
