The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

"Yin Chang?" A voice as cold as ice rang out in mid-air, ethereal and ruthless.

His sharp eyes finally warmed when he saw the mother and child on the shore.

"Congratulations, Uncle-Master Bing Shu!" Yin Chang, who came from the Immortal Mountain, was extremely respectful to Geng Rui.

Geng Rui appeared instantly in front of Princess Jinghe, "Lianyi, you've worked so hard all these years!"

"Not bitter!"

The couple hadn't seen each other for ten years, yet they still naturally held hands.

Yin Chang waited patiently on the sidelines, not wanting to disturb the couple's reunion.

The Prince of Changping could not hide his excitement, "Father, are your injuries healed?"

The couple seemed oblivious to his presence, paying him no attention.

"Alright, I'll just have the Princess Consort prepare the family banquet!" Prince Changping slunk off to pester the Princess Consort, giving Yin Chang a fierce glare before leaving.

Princess Consort came here after Jinghe and the Grand Princess left the villa and returned to the capital.

She was truly worried about the three girls living in the other courtyard.

Geng Ruqin is a lively person, and with Luo Tianyun by her side, the two of them together are never going to have a moment of peace.

However, she was happy to see it happen.

It's better than spending all his time hanging out with Geng Wan'er from the Geng family and Li Meiyun from the Li family. Those two girls are wicked and not worth getting close to.

Upon hearing the news, the Princess Consort asked Prince Changping, "It's a time for family reunion, didn't you chase those people away?"

Those people stayed by the cold pond for several days. Although he didn't disturb them, he still felt a little uncomfortable having such a group of people living in front of his house.

The Luo sisters would occasionally come out to visit Luo Yuan, and the Princess Consort did not stop them too much.

"Father is fine, why bother treating someone unrelated?" The Princess Consort had long been dissatisfied with the Luo family.

"It's not that I'm being ignored because my parents are so affectionate!" Prince Changping said with a wronged expression. "I'll go and chase them away right now!"

"Forget it, with your father here, whether to save them or not is up to him. You don't need to get involved. Go and find those three girls and don't let them run wild all over the mountains."

The scenery of Qingshuang Mountain is even more beautiful than before, and the three girls often go out to enjoy the scenery and paint.

Prince Changping obeyed and left the villa with his men.

The Princess Consort's smile turned into a bitter face. "With my father-in-law's coffin being taken out, I wonder what will happen in the court."

At the cold pool, Yin Chang watched his Uncle-Master Bing Shu and his wife reunite, not daring to disturb them.

Geng Rui is very special in Xianshan.

He was not old, but he reached the Golden Core stage by using the cultivation resources stored up by the immortal mountain over generations.

He can be described as exceptionally talented, a top figure in the entire Konoha world.

Yin often heard his master sigh that it was fortunate that his grandmaster had taken in Uncle Bing Shu as a disciple, otherwise the Immortal Mountain would have missed such a brilliant and talented disciple.

This junior uncle was even younger than him, and decades ago he found the sect boring and went down the mountain to gain experience.

The next news was that he was getting married.

Yin Chang still remembers his master's expression back then; his master didn't want his junior uncle to waste his time marrying a mortal woman.

In a fit of anger, my uncle has not returned to the immortal mountain for many years.

The master's anger subsided somewhat only after he contacted the sect a few years ago to send a disciple in.

However, this disciple followed suit and, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, also secretly went down the mountain and was not heard from for many years.

The master couldn't control his Uncle-Master Bing Shu, but he couldn't let that genius disciple waste his time in the mortal world.

All of them, along with their fellow disciples, were sent down the mountain by their master to search for someone.

Yin Chang also met Luo Yuan in the capital and learned of his identity.

Luo Yuan is his master's grandson.

However, no one knew about this.

Yin Chang urgently sent a message back, which led to his eventual encounter with Luo Yuan.

Junior Sister passed away after returning to the Immortal Mountain, without mentioning Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan has a birthmark on his shoulder that is exactly the same as his master's, and he also has his junior sister's keepsake on him.

After confirming his identity, Yin Chang stayed by his side for many years.

The master turned a blind eye, which allowed Yin Chang to stay in the Daye Dynasty.

The reason I went back a few years ago was because of Luo Yuan's health problems.

Not long after returning, they received news that Luo Yuan had been in a coma for several days.

"Bring the person in!" Geng Rui said coldly.

Princess Jinghe did not stop him, and Yin Chang breathed a sigh of relief. He then quickly arranged for people to carry Luo Yuan into the villa.

"How did he get involved with his senior brother?"

Geng Rui sat in the middle, giving Luo Yuan, who was lying on the makeshift bed, a cold look.

“I noticed he had the same birthmark on his shoulder as my master, and he also had my junior sister’s exquisite pendant on his body. I had some doubts, so I took a drop of his blood and sent it back to the immortal mountain. My master has confirmed it.”

Yin Chang was extremely respectful and made no attempt to conceal his experiences over the years.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Geng Rui said angrily. "If you had told me earlier, would I have let Si Rou marry this scoundrel?"

The pressure was overwhelming, and Yin Chang's face turned pale.

"My master forbids me from revealing this, for fear of attracting enemies."

Geng Rui nodded and tossed a jade pot to Yin Chang, saying, "Feed him a cup of water, and he will wake up shortly."

Yin Chang accepted the gift, thanked him repeatedly, and then added, "Uncle-Master, Luo Yuan has been deeply in love with the Princess all these years. He was just possessed by a demon, and those things have nothing to do with him!"

Geng Rui remained unmoved, saying, "Some things can't be explained away by simply blaming the demon."

“Uncle-Master Bing Shu, if you don’t believe me, you can search my soul. Master won’t have any complaints.”

Yin Chang quickly replied.

Luo Yuan can only suffer the consequences of others' misdeeds; it's his own fault for being so overly kind back then.

With a wave of his hand, Geng Rui sent countless ice needles flying toward Luo Yuan, landing on his acupoints and then disappearing.

Yin Chang watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding with fear, terrified that he might accidentally kill Luo Yuan.

"Don't worry, it's just to strengthen his righteous energy. As for Si Rou and his affairs, I have no say in them. The demon inside him was somehow devoured, which is why he is unconscious."

Yin Chang felt awkward and dared not say anything.

Half an hour later, Luo Yuan woke up.

He tumbled off the makeshift bed. "Is Father alright?"

"Hmph!" Geng Rui glanced at him disdainfully and left.

"Do you know that you and the princess have divorced?" Yin Chang asked, unsure of where Luo Yuan's memory was at this moment.

Overwhelmed with grief, Luo Yuan asked, "Of course I know. Where is Si Rou now?"

"Changxing County!" Yin Chang had barely finished speaking when Luo Yuan was about to leave. Yin Chang hurriedly called him back, "Where are you going now? If you don't go to the border soon, someone else will seize power!"

Luo Yuan didn't care. "Let them take it. I'm tired of fighting and killing all the time. I might as well do as the Emperor wishes."

"Don't go yet! I'm asking you, do you know what that demon did to you?"

"Of course I know!"

"Alright, then come with me to find the princess and her consort and explain things clearly!"

Yin Chang tried to pull Luo Yuan, but couldn't budge him.

"That demon was swallowed by a cloud of black mist on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival; I have no proof."

Yin Chang: "......"
