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

"No?" The Third Prince didn't believe him and continued to press, "Why don't you rest a little longer, Miss Han? Maybe you'll dream about something."

Han Lingzhi looked up in surprise, "Third Prince, do you mean I should rest in front of a bunch of men? I'm a young lady!"

"If you're worried, just rest up in the tree. Besides, they won't do anything!" The Third Prince was unsure at the moment.

That day, when the strange man in black chased after them, Xu Zhen went out to ask his mother for help, but they never heard from him again.

Once the news reaches the capital, my mother will surely be able to persuade the old patriarch to intervene.

Even if the ancestor has offspring, he won't abandon them.

He was simply greedy and followed them into this core area. He did have a good haul, but when he tried to get out, he couldn't find his way back.

After being chased, he unexpectedly met Han Lingzhi, and the two of them traveled together.

The things Han Lingzhi learned in her dream allowed them to enter this place smoothly.

Later, he met Lu Yong and Lin Chang, who treated him with utmost respect, and they naturally traveled together.

The Third Prince noticed the change in Han Lingzhi's attitude, but did not know why.

Her words angered Han Lingzhi. "Third Prince, let's part ways here! It's safer for a young lady like me to travel alone."

She had been looking for an opportunity to shake him off. If she continued to dream like this, she probably wouldn't have a good ending after she got out.

It's fine if these people don't overthink things, but if they do, she'll have to find a way to get rid of them.

Han Lingzhi made up her mind and resolutely decided to leave.

Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, Han Lingzhi chose the direction from her dream and vanished without a trace.

What if these people have ill intentions? She is alone and powerless; wouldn't she be at their mercy?

Her father wouldn't stand up for her.

Han Lingzhi disappeared from their sight before the Third Prince reacted, "Why aren't you chasing after her! The place she went must be safe."

Lu Yong and Lin Chang exchanged a glance and followed after them.

The Third Prince had been practicing martial arts with Xu Tianyun since childhood, but his talent was not particularly outstanding.

If he were to fight Han Lingzhi, he would have no chance of winning.

Han Lingzhi can foresee the future; if she were presented to the Emperor, she would surely be of great use.

Lu Yong was the youngest among the group that chased after Han Lingzhi, and he only achieved his current status through his ruthless actions.

"Commander Lin, this Miss Han is so special, what if—"

"Commander Lu, put away your thoughts! This Miss Han is not someone unknown; she is not someone your Kaiming Marquis's mansion can afford to offend. Just do what the Third Prince instructs, and don't cause any unnecessary trouble that could lead to your death."

Lin Chang didn't respond, revealing not a trace of his thoughts.

Lu Yong is a young man with great ambition.

The Marquis of Kaiming's mansion had no real power; only Consort Rui was somewhat respectable in the palace. Yet she dared to covet what didn't belong to her—she was truly courting death.

Each with their own agenda, the two led their teams in pursuit.

The Third Prince also caught up, but he was in a rather bad mood.

He might be at odds with the girls in the Han family now; every time he meets them, nothing good ever comes of it.

I must have been blind to have fallen for Han Yueshi.

Meanwhile, Han Cuiyin's pace slowed down.

"Why did it stop again?" Sequoia complained.

Mo Changdao walked and stopped several times, and now he stopped again under a big tree.

"Perhaps it is Elder Mo who has discovered us."

Although Han Cuiyin was unwilling, she had to admit that this Old Ancestor Mo did have some tricks up his sleeve.

This person is cunning and suspicious; none of the Mo family's descendants can be fully trusted by him.

"Now that I am not strong enough, these jade beads have played a very small role, so it is not surprising that they have been discovered."

Han Cuiyin said helplessly.

In the realm of immortality, she never used these minor techniques; she always resorted to violence with her fists.

Since returning here, I've faced obstacles at every turn.

"Oh no, Mo Changdao and the others have disappeared!" Hongshan stamped his feet anxiously. "That guy is cunning. Which way do we go next?"

Old Master Mo seemed to come and go freely here, without any discomfort.

"It shouldn't be too far, we can get there ourselves," Luo Jingqian said, patting his chest.

“How would we know the way!” Sequoia pouted. “This Mo Changdao must have deliberately left us behind. He wanted us to deal with Old Ancestor Mo before, but now he’s kicking us while we’re down.”

After saying that, he transformed back into his original form and darted up a tall tree to gaze into the distance.

“Head east!” Luo Jingqian clutched his chest. “I have a feeling it’s over there! Perhaps that’s where my uncle is trapped.”

Han Cuiyin glanced at him, "You... did you sense the summons?"

"It's just a chest pain, not the kind of calling you described. Walking east relieved the pain a lot."

"When did it start?"

"That was when Mo Changdao and the others stopped for the third time! Their direction kept changing, and they didn't feel pain only when they were heading east."

Luo Jingqian told the truth.

Han Cuiyin frowned. "I've never heard of a situation like yours before! In some secret realms, there are inheritances that, when encountered by a destined person, will be felt. Your current situation is different from that."

Red bumps reappeared on Luo Jingqian's face and spread rapidly.

Han Cuiyin hurriedly poured him a mouthful of spiritual spring water, then took out the little yellow ball, saying, "Transfer some merit power to me, I'll return it to you later!"

The little yellow ball was still unwilling. "I don't know which 'later' you mean. You said the same thing before, but I've never seen you return it."

Han Cuiyin said awkwardly:

"You forgot, didn't you! I definitely won't forget this time. I'll make up for what I did before, and I'll repay you double what I owe this time. You forgot, in the Realm of Immortality, I perished together with Lian Yao, which was a huge amount of merit."

Her merit power has not yet been bestowed upon her; for now, all she can do is make empty promises.

It all depends on whether Yue Shuang will take the bait.

A moment later, the power of merit slowly flowed from the little yellow ball, and with Han Cuiyin as the transit point, the large red bumps on Luo Jingqian's face and body gradually faded away.

"Thank you!" Luo Jingqian's clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was pale.

"If we can capture the True Fire of the Sun this time, your strange illness might be cured." Han Cuiyin was also sweating profusely with anxiety. "Let's hurry over there and see what happens."

"There's no sign of Mo Changdao at all. The fog is even thicker to the east; we can't see anything." When Hongshan returned, she saw the two of them snuggling together. "You two... are you together?"

Her fourth tail has already sprouted a bit, and it's more noticeable than before.

Three red fox tails swayed back and forth, and its eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

Han Cuiyin made Luo Jingqian lean against a tree, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Luo Jingqian's back was not as comfortable as before. He glared at Hongshan and said, "You went there and didn't find any useful information?"

A chill ran down Hongshan's spine. "The fog is thick in the east and thinnest in the west. I saw a group of people coming this way from the west, as if they were chasing something."

"Then let's go quickly!" Luo Jingqian sat up instantly, as if the weakness he had just felt was just an illusion.
