The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Second Sister is back!"

As Mingyue Xin's carriage slowly passed the suspended earthen fortress and entered its interior, a group of people who had been practicing martial arts on the training ground came forward to greet her.

"Second sister!"

"Second miss!"

A dashing figure leaped down from the carriage, a bright smile spreading across her face.

It was none other than Ming Yuexin, the second young lady of the Ming family.

Running towards the bright moon, leading the pack was a little darling with a Nezha-style bun, big, round eyes, and a short sword in his hand—he was incredibly cute.

This is Ming Heying's youngest daughter, Ming Lingyan.

"Little Yan, I've missed your second sister so much!"

Mingyue Xin stepped forward, scooped the little boy into her arms, lifted him high, and spun him around 360 degrees in the air!

"Second Miss! We've been waiting so long! It's been so long since our trip to Jinling, why are you only returning today?" a young, valiant captain asked with a smile.

Another burly, armored man, as tall as an iron tower, said, "That's right. Everyone says the Battle of Jinling was extremely exciting. The masters of the three most unknown places in the martial world, including the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, all showed up. Second Miss, you must tell us all about it."

Mingyue Xinlang laughed: "Hahaha! No problem, once I've met my father, I'll tell you all about it!"

"Alright! I knew it! The Second Miss definitely won't let us down!"

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and prepare the food and drinks. We'll talk while we drink and eat!"

These military captains were all core elites of the Ming family, and each of them was very clever. As soon as Ming Yuexin said this, they all scattered and hurried to prepare wine and food.

Mingyue Xin led Mingling Yan towards the interior of Mingjiabao, stopping only when they reached the edge of a turquoise lake.

This lake is surrounded by steep mountain walls on two sides, with a canyon only on the opposite side.

The Ming family's headquarters is located at the end of that canyon. To enter the Ming family's territory, one must take a boat across the lake and then pass through that canyon!

Mingyue Xin and Mingling Yan boarded a flying boat and traveled leisurely across the lake.

"Second Sister, what happened in Jinling this time? I heard that many big shots from the martial arts world arrived! A lot of people died, it was so exciting!" Ming Lingyan asked curiously.

"A lot has indeed happened, and I've met some interesting people." Mingyue Xin smiled and patted Ming Lingyan's head. "Ayan, you're still young. Your father said that he can't tell you about things in the martial arts world before you turn sixteen!"

"Hmph! All you do is bully children!" Ming Lingyan turned her head away, looking arrogant.

"Although your second sister can't tell you about things in the martial arts world, she brought you a gift!"

"What gift is it? Let me see!"

That's how kids are; their moods change very quickly.

In the Ming family, Ming Lingyan was the darling of the family; everyone doted on her.

The two sisters chatted and laughed as they walked toward the Ming family's secluded villa in a remote valley.

Just outside the canyon, there is a waterfall cascading down the cliff on the left.

On the right side of the canyon, there is a row of pavilions. At this moment, an old man and a young man, two men in black, are playing chess and chatting in one of the pavilions.

"It's Yuexin! She's been gone for so long! Hurry up and come over!"

"call!

Just as Mingyue Xin and Mingling Yan appeared at the entrance of the canyon, a cold, domineering, and slightly melancholic voice rang out from inside the pavilion!

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure pounced towards Mingyue Xin!
