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

"Speak up! Did you form a contract with the Sky-Treading Vine?" Yan Jue moved closer to Han Cuiyin and noticed the red and green bracelet on her wrist. "That's right! This is the shape I saw before, but it's missing the moon."

Han Cuiyin asked suspiciously, "You recognize him?"

Is the vine turning into a bracelet a normal occurrence, not a mutation?

"Since it is fate, come with me!" Yan Jue could not hide his joy. "You are truly the lucky star of the Yan family! The suffering I have endured has finally paid off."

Han Cuiyin was completely confused and her suspicions about the person in front of her remained unresolved.

She wouldn't have given him a kind look if it weren't for exchanging those things.

"Hurry up and leave! How could I possibly harm you?" Yan Jue said anxiously when he saw that she wasn't moving. "If the fake one comes out, you won't be able to leave."

Han Cuiyin's gaze swept over Yan Jue twice. "Where did those people go?"

"Yan Cheng left behind suitable people, and everyone else went out."

Those who went out looked completely bewildered.

"We just came out like this?" Lin Chang asked in disbelief, his disappointment barely concealed.

Apart from Han Cuiyin, Han Yueshi, and Lian Yao, everyone else was present.

After Mo Changdao came out and confirmed that Old Ancestor Mo had not followed him out, he was secretly pleased, which was in stark contrast to those who were unwilling to accept it.

"Gentlemen, I'll take my leave first. Please make yourselves at home!" Mo Changdao was in a hurry to return to the capital and did not want to linger. He jumped onto the spirit boat and disappeared into the horizon.

Lin Chang's eyes flashed. "Could this be the last spirit boat on the list? The Imperial Advisor actually exchanged so many stones for this. It does look quite impressive."

"Fool! It's just an ordinary spirit boat, yet it's been turned into a spirit boat that can travel through space. If you don't have the eyesight, don't come out looking for treasure!" The one who spoke sarcastically was a cultivator who rarely showed his face, named Chai Gong, who was ruthless in Yan City.

Lin Chang remembered him; their entire team was almost wiped out by this guy.

This man was dressed shabbily, and at first no one paid him any attention. But in the end, he gained quite a lot.

Chai Gong gave a mocking smile and quickly left.

"I've acquired so many good things this time. I should hurry back to Chai Mountain and write to Xuan Kang. I won't waste my breath on these fools. They want to rob me? Dream on!" Master Chai was full of confidence, and his heart was filled with joy as he thought of his eldest disciple.

"Brother Lin, why don't we take a stroll around the Pinglian Mountains? Perhaps we can find some good things to present to the Emperor." Lu Yong gave Lin Chang a wink, and they quickly led their men away.

"You mean we should find that stone gate again and go to Yan City?" Lin Chang was intrigued when he learned of Lu Yong's idea; it was indeed a good one.

There are many other good items on that list. They only exchanged three items here. If they were to turn around and try to get some of those things, they could definitely get some of them.

Yan Cheng just caused trouble, and now is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The group wandered aimlessly through the Pinglian Mountains again, but unfortunately, the stone gate seemed to have vanished, and they never encountered it again.

"Father, what should we do? Jingqian has disappeared, and Cuiyin hasn't come out. What should we do?" Princess Changyun asked anxiously, her voice tinged with impatience.

Luo Yuan was about to comfort her when Princess Changyun completely ignored him, saying, "Stay away from me!"

The misunderstanding that took so many years to resolve is no longer important to her.

"Why don't you come back to Yan Family Village with me?" Yan Dali thought for a long time before making up his mind. He walked up to Geng Rui and said, "The ancestor said there is a teleportation array to Yan City there. I am just an ordinary person and cannot help. I entrust Cuiyin's safety to you."

After thinking for a moment, Geng Rui agreed, "Alright! I'll go alone. You all wait for me in Changxing County."

Princess Changyun did not agree with his decision and advised, "Father, you have more people to help you. Why don't you take some more people in? Don't worry about Qian'er for now. We must rescue Cuiyin."

Since meeting Han Cuiyin, Qian'er's health has improved day by day, and as her mother, she has noticed this and naturally takes it to heart.

As long as Cuiyin is around, Qian'er will surely find her. This girl is Qian'er's lucky star.

Princess Changyun's concern for Han Cuiyin's safety was noticed by Yan Dali, which further increased his goodwill towards Luo Jingqian.

For a woman to get married, having a reasonable and understanding mother-in-law is a good marriage.

What happened to Yan Shunhua dealt a heavy blow to the Yan family.

Deciding to return to Yanjiacun, they immediately set off from the Pinglian Mountains.

"The stone gate has disappeared!" Geng Rui said solemnly. "I will take Dali ahead of me. Yin Chang, you come with me. You must protect Dali."

Yin Chang readily agreed, and before leaving, he gave Luo Yuan a wink, silently saying: "Perform well."

Luo Yuan understood perfectly and treated Princess Changyun with great care and attentiveness throughout the journey.

Without anyone else to hold them back, Geng Rui and Yan Dali arrived at the old site of Yan Family Village a quarter of an hour later.

The moment he landed, Yan Dali couldn't control himself and squatted down to vomit violently.

"I'm sorry, I was in a bit of a rush and rushed things." Geng Rui said embarrassedly, admitting that he had indeed overlooked this.

His cultivation improved much faster than he had come from the capital to Changxing County, thus ignoring Yan Dali's mortal body.

"..."

It took Yan Dali a long time to recover.

When they arrived at the small courtyard where Han Cuiyin had lived for a period of time, there were already people there.

"Feilan, what are you doing here?"

Two foxes, one white and one red, were with Zhao Feilan, and they were busy working in the cellar.

“We were thrown out here. Sequoia said that Cuiyin had lived here for a while, right next to the Yan family’s house.”

"That's right! I've brought it. I'm going to pick up my things and then return to the capital. I'm entrusting Cuiyin's matter to you. Feilan, Cuiyin has had a hard life; you must find her."

Yan Dali's eyes were slightly red as she pleaded in a low voice.

Yin Chang wanted to take him away, but Yan Dali went to the Yan family's original residence.

"Please wait here for me. I'll go get my things, and then we'll head back to the capital immediately."

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yan Dali returned with a bundle.

"Sir, if anyone tries to intercept me, you must protect this item! If anything happens to me, give it to Cuiyin's mother when we return to the capital. Use these items to restrain Han Zhen. When Cuiyin comes back, she won't have to live such a miserable life anymore."

Yan Dali looked resolute.

He wasn't making baseless accusations; his whereabouts had been exposed, and he had evidence in his hands, so Han Zhen wouldn't let him off easily.

Meanwhile, Han Cuiyin was unaware of all the things Yan Dali had done for her, putting her life on the line.

She and Yan Jue arrived at the underground palace where he was staying.

When he arrived at his lodging, there was a row of drainage mirrors in the room.

"Yan City wasn't like this before, was it?" This kind of arrangement is not something Yan Jue could have done.

"I made a deal with someone to save my life," Yan Jue said in a low voice, filled with regret.

Han Cuiyin raised an eyebrow. Now, it seemed that the truth behind it was about to come to light.
