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

A gentle breeze caresses the face, and the aroma of tea fills the air.

After Han Cuiyin stated her request, Luo Jingqian calmly drank his tea, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"The karma between us should be settled. We should not owe each other anything in the past, present, or future."

These words are not entirely based on this world.

Furthermore, in her past life, she was schemed against by others because of Luo Jingqian, and that karmic debt is still unresolved.

Her cultivation progressed slowly in the Immortal Realm, but she couldn't forget her mother's tragic death before her eyes, and the fact that she herself was unjustly killed. These two things made it difficult for her to let go of her resentment.

It was only after she reached the Foundation Establishment stage that her master sealed her memories, allowing her to progress further on her cultivation path.

The memories of dying together with Lianyao that day are still fresh, and the heart-wrenching pain cannot be relieved by just ten months.

Originally, she thought that she would not go to the capital and would not meet Luo Jingqian. Before everything began, the cause and effect between them would end as she let go, and it would only take some merit.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened, but the two still met as planned.

If her cultivation level had been higher back then, things wouldn't be like they are now.

It seemed as if an unseen hand was constantly pushing the two of them forward.

"Past events, present life and future, what do you mean by this?" Upon hearing this, Luo Jingqian sat up straight, his whole body tense.

He already knew something about the two of them back in Fuguang Mountain.

He didn't want things to go that way, so he had to give up some things.

"Let's talk inside!" Han Cuiyin rushed into Luo Jingqian's house before he could refuse.

I felt something was wrong when I came here last time, so this time I'll find out what's going on.

In his previous life, Luo Jingqian and the two never met when he returned to the mansion, as he always chose to return to his room when she was not there.

"Why do you want to come inside? It's not convenient for a lone man and woman to be alone. Please have some self-respect, young lady."

Luo Jingqian is now determined to draw a clear line, so naturally he won't let her have her way.

He stood firmly in front of her, and Han Cuiyin, unable to defeat him, had no choice but to stop.

"Your room is strange! Last time I went in, my heart would pound and something would be taken from me. What exactly did you do in your room?"

Han Cuiyin spoke directly this time, without beating around the bush.

"If you know, then don't go in! And don't even think about going in while I'm not around. I need to think about Qingshuang Mountain. I'll give you an answer in a couple of days."

Luo Jingqian was not wearing a mask at the moment, and his whole person looked cool and handsome under the lights.

A gust of wind blew, and the veil on Han Cuiyin's face was blown away.

He grabbed it with one hand, the delicate fragrance of lotus blossoms filling his nostrils. "Qinghe! You better behave yourself."

"We'll talk about it another day! Don't forget about Qingshuang Mountain."

Han Cuiyin saw a cloud of black mist heading towards the market and turned to leave.

Luo Jingqian stood there, stunned. "Why the rush? Here's the stuff—"

"Alright, junior brother, she's gone far away, so just keep it for now! Your identity jade pendant is still with her, you can exchange it next time you meet. Or you don't have to, Master is asking how things are going."

Qinghe came out in a few steps, grabbed his arm, and prevented him from pausing in the air with the veil still up.

Luo Jingqian's expression returned to normal, and he casually put away his veil. "Senior Brother Qinghe, can't you be a little more composed? You always cause trouble."

"This is because we're worried you'll get into a bad marriage! Master said that your destined person is also the one who will face calamity, so we need to be careful. That Miss Yang is actually so beautiful! She's not the dark-faced girl that people say she is. She's a perfect match for you."

Qinghe was a bit impulsive, while Qingshan just watched helplessly from the sidelines.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Qiqiao market is on fire! The princess took two girls there and they haven't returned yet."

The steward outside pounded on the courtyard gate. Only after Qingshan opened the gate did his expression soften. "Fortunately, the young master is not at Qingshuang Mountain. Go quickly to rescue the princess and the two young ladies."

"Butler, please tell me slowly. Who accompanied the princess when she went out tonight?"

The steward, panting, said, "I only brought maids and servants, no guards. Before the Duke left, he said that if there was anything in the manor, we should look for the heir, and if we couldn't find the heir, we should go to the Princess's manor to find Princess Jinghe."

"You two stay here and watch the house. I'll be right back."

Luo Jingqian could no longer sit still and disappeared from the courtyard.

"Qinghe, you stay here, I'm going to help!"

Qingshan also ran away.

"Alright, I've been talking to you for a little while and now I have nothing to do. Butler, you can go back and rest. The princess and the two young ladies will be back soon."

Qinghe pushed the person away and closed the courtyard gate.

When the incident happened suddenly, Han Cuiyin originally did not want to get involved.

Since the wooden fish was meant to purify the dark energy, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

Luo Jingqian pulled the person back and specifically instructed, "Go back quickly! You'll only cause trouble if you go without spiritual power. Your martial arts skills won't solve anything."

The person's sudden appearance disrupted Han Cuiyin's rhythm.

He had originally intended to get to the scene as soon as possible by circulating his internal energy, but this person suddenly appeared and caused trouble.

"Let go! If I'm not suitable, there's no one else suitable. This isn't an ordinary disaster; something evil is at work."

Han Cuiyin tried to break free but failed.

She had never been subject to such control in the world of immortals.

This person didn't look fat and seemed a bit weak, but unexpectedly, he was quite strong, and she couldn't break free for a while.

"Are you sure?" Luo Jingqian didn't understand the evil thing she was talking about; he had never encountered one before.

"Nonsense!" Left with no other choice, Han Cuiyin tapped his elbow with her jade staff, quickly breaking free from his control.

By the time Luo Jingqian came to his senses, Han Cuiyin had already taken a shortcut and disappeared.

"Your Highness, you—"

"Now that you've caught up with me, go and rescue my mother and two younger sisters. Don't get too close to me, lest you arouse suspicion. My face isn't convenient to be exposed to others yet."

After giving his instructions, Luo Jingqian also left in the direction of Han Cuiyin.

"I think you're just annoyed by all the trouble. Back on the mountain, all those senior and junior sisters were chasing after you relentlessly, and you just got fed up with it."

Qingshan muttered a complaint under his breath, then went to the scene to rescue Princess Changyun and the two girls.

At the Qiqiao market, a stall caught fire, and somehow the sparks seemed to have eyes, splashing onto nearby stalls.

The market was mostly frequented by women, and things got quite chaotic.

Han Yueshi knew her chance had come. "You can wait for me at Ping'an Lane, or you can go back to the Han residence first. I have something to take care of."

The three young ladies of the Han family had no choice but to obey, and were escorted away from the scene by two guards.

"Jinyi, keep an eye on a beautiful girl. If she gets set on fire, be sure to save her. But be careful and know your own limits when you're trying to save her."

Han Yueshi gave a few instructions, and Jin Yi nodded before she felt relieved.

"Miss, isn't that the girl in the green dress?"

A girl in a green dress moved through the crowd without touching anyone.

Jin Yi unconsciously glanced over there.

"No! We're trying to save a girl in a red dress." Han Yueshi lowered her voice and leaned closer to Jin Yi. "She's a princess!"
