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

Yancheng is much drier than the karst caves.

Yan Dali was in so much pain from the fall that he couldn't get up. "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with the timing?"

Zhao Feilan's lips twitched as he pulled the person up from the ground. "Find a secluded place to hide and don't come out and cause trouble."

"Adding to the chaos?" Yan Dali turned his head. "Cuiyin is here!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Han Cuiyin threw a handful of jade beads toward Yan Dali's north direction, saying, "Uncle, go inside."

Immediately, the jade five-element staff in her hand was firmly planted in the center of those jade beads.

Zhao Feilan quickly came to Han Cuiyin's side, "Father is here, wait for me to avenge you!"

Just now, Han Yueshi and the others started fighting as soon as they saw Han Cuiyin.

Han Yueshi and Lian Yao's martial arts techniques are from the same lineage, and their movement techniques are unpredictable and strange.

Even with the wooden fish in hand, Han Cuiyin's strength could not be unleashed to even a tenth of what it was in the Longevity Realm.

At this moment, Lianyao was fighting her with ease.

Han Yueshi occasionally slapped Han Cuiyin from the side, leaving Han Cuiyin attacked from both sides.

If Zhao Feilan hadn't intervened, Han Yueshi would have severed her arm just now.

After Yan Dali went inside, he felt a change; his body didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.

When he looked up, he saw his niece had almost been injured, and he immediately started yelling:

"Han Zhen, that eldest daughter, always acts like she wants to devour Cuiyin whenever she sees her. And that Princess Mingxia's upbringing isn't much better; she appears noble on the surface, but her methods are ruthless in private. Can their daughters be considered dignified? Are they even worthy of being the Empress of Yun Kingdom?"

They are all sisters. If it weren't for the instigation of their elders, how could a truly sensible young lady from a respectable family act like this?

Yan Dali pursed his lips and cheered for his niece from within the protective formation.

Han Cuiyin heard every word and felt quite helpless towards her uncle.

Last year, Yan Dali had a stern and authoritative expression.

As the day she was to leave Yanjiacun drew closer, her uncle seemed to have become a completely different person, entirely unlike his previous life.

"Shut up!" Han Yueshi was annoyed by Yan Dali's nagging. "After dealing with Han Cuiyin, you're next! You like to talk, don't you? I'll cut your tongue out and feed it to the dogs later."

"Come on, come on! There isn't a single living person in our Yan family territory, let alone a dog." Yan Dali sat in the formation, took a sip of spiritual spring water to quench his thirst, and continued, "If the ancestors of the Yan family could manifest, they would throw you out first, so as not to defile this place."

Yan Dali cursed, spittle flying everywhere.

"Your Majesty, would you like to go down and help your fiancée?"

Silver Star stood on the back of the golden eagle, watching the battle below.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jing didn't even blink. "No need! How can one become the Empress of Yun Kingdom without sufficient strength?"

The founding emperor and empress of the Yun Kingdom both gained their rule on horseback.

Throughout history, none of the empresses, except for his mother, were weak.

His father took a liking to a weak woman, and after his birth, he was immediately sent to the Imperial Preceptor to be raised, where he learned a great deal of skills.

The royal family of Yun Kingdom then gave up, allowing his mother to remain in her position as empress, and did not mention the matter of deposing her again.

Han Yueshi was the winner, which he really didn't expect.

Yun Jing knew a lot about the noble ladies of the Daye Dynasty, and he even knew the princesses of Emperor Chuyuan very well.

The missing princess was simply unlucky.

He had long taken a liking to Han Lingzhi because of her straightforward personality and outstanding martial arts skills.

However, the results of the Mingyue Terrace competition have already been announced, with Han Yueshi emerging victorious. Therefore, he can only collect information about her again.

"She only recently learned the technique, and I never expected that she would reach such a level in such a short time." Yun Jing sighed. "This woman is worthy of being the Empress of Yun Kingdom. It's a pity that the second eldest daughter of the Han family did not win."

"Which one does the King prefer?" Lady Li asked after overhearing this. "The Second Prince has taken a liking to that girl and has already requested an imperial decree to grant them marriage. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the Second Prince's consort."

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, the golden eagle stumbled to the right. She rolled along the golden eagle's right wing, and if it weren't for Yin Xing's intervention, she would probably have fallen to the ground.

“Princess Yunxiu, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can just say so directly. There is no need to use such methods. Ah Xing is not in a good position to act now. Why force him to save me?”

Tears welled up in Xiao Li's eyes, threatening to fall.

“Yunxiu did it on purpose. Something hit Yunxiu’s right wing just now. If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself. However, Madam Li is still weak, so she should not come to join in such commotion in the future.”

Princess Yunxiu's voice was calm, showing no anger.

The moment she lost her composure was when she saw the Demon King embracing Little Li.

Little Li is cunning and scheming. Once the Demon King sees through her true colors, he will eventually despise her.

She can afford to wait.

She was still a fledgling bird, and she had experienced staring at her prey for days without moving in order to survive. What was there to be afraid of in a human woman?

"Alright, you stay with Minghan and don't wander off."

Yin Xing comforted Xiao Li Shi for a few words, then returned to Yun Jing's side.

"Is that item from the Great Ye Dynasty really going to be returned? The Yun Kingdom doesn't need it now, but it might not in the future."

"How could that be! There's no reason to give away benefits that's already in hand." Yun Jing didn't take it seriously. "It's just an excuse. If I get my third brother back, I'll also get a powerful empress for free. I won't lose out on this deal."

He had already made plans on this side.

"The fake will be completed in a little over a month. The Imperial Preceptor has infused it with spiritual power, making it indistinguishable from the real thing. The Emperor of the Great Ye Dynasty may not be able to tell the difference, and I will be the ultimate winner."

Yun Jing smiled, increasingly satisfied with Han Yueshi's performance below.

"That man must be the carefree prince of the Great Ye Dynasty," Yin Xing sighed. "If it weren't for the intervention of Grand Princess Jinghe back then, who knows who would have ruled the Great Ye Dynasty. What a pity!"

Han Yueshi was kicked away by Zhao Feilan, and now the situation has reversed. Originally, it was two against one, with the two of them dealing with Han Cuiyin. Now it has become one against two, with Han Cuiyin and others dealing with Lianyao.

"Your Highness, why are you fighting so hard for someone else's child? Her mother is just a woman my father didn't want, yet you treat her like a treasure! You are powerful and influential, and you can choose any noblewoman you like. If you fight us to the death today, wouldn't it be a waste of your good life?"

Han Yueshi returned to Lianyao's side and, in front of Han Cuiyin, began to sow discord.

"What right do you have to interfere in my affairs? Even your maternal grandfather has to bow to me, and you, a mere maid, dare to teach me how to behave? How dare you!"

Zhao Feilan angrily rebuked, his attacks becoming even more ruthless. Lian Yao was restrained by him. "Cuiyin, let your older sister wake up."

"Okay!" Han Cuiyin agreed crisply, and the wooden fish swung straight towards that direction.

"Don't think I have no way to deal with you!" Han Yueshi hurriedly dodged, and an iron bead appeared in her hand. After determining the direction, she threw it at Han Cuiyin. "You are the offspring of your father, and today I will teach my daughter in place of my father."

In mid-air, the iron bead exploded, and a faint smell of blood wafted towards Han Cuiyin.
