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

With his weapons destroyed, the brocade-clad soldiers did not linger in battle. Before leaving, they glanced at Luo Jingqian and memorized his appearance.

Before Luo Jingqian could speak, Han Cuiyin preemptively said, "If we don't even use the Rain-Making Technique, how long will it take for them to put out the fire?"

Luo Jingqian had no choice but to comply.

He went to check on his mother and sisters, and when he returned, he found Han Cuiyin sparring with someone again, even losing the fight. Without thinking, he came over to help.

The second prince on the other side gave the two of them a deep look, seemingly lost in thought.

"Second Prince, the princess has disappeared. I'm afraid... I'm afraid something terrible has happened to her."

"What? Where are the people protecting the princess?"

The second prince's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body trembled.

"Those people are all dead."

......

After returning home, Han Yueshi went directly to the main courtyard and told Princess Mingxia, Han Cuiyin, about leaving the mansion without permission.

Princess Mingxia calmed the person down, saying, "You stay here, I'll go find your grandmother to stand up for you."

After her mother left in a hurry, Han Yueshi couldn't help but spit out, "You damn Lianyao, you disappeared when I needed you."

Just then, Lianyao spotted the wooden fish and was chasing after it with great enthusiasm.

After the wooden fish had eaten and drunk its fill, it shrank to the size of a small yellow ball and returned to Han Cuiyin's side.

Luo Jingqian was busy making it rain and didn't notice this scene.

The transparent bead chased to the vicinity and saw the two standing on the rooftop, then charged straight at them.

"Han Cuiyin, if you want to die, then go die yourself. Why did you bring me to this desolate place?"

The bead transformed into ripples and attacked Han Cuiyin directly.

If this were in the realm of immortality, these injuries would be nothing; she could easily dodge them.

Unfortunately, she is currently in a weakened state, only slightly stronger than an average person.

The black dots quickly converged into an arrow as they approached her, heading straight for her brow.

Han Cuiyin couldn't dodge in time and swung her jade staff, but without spiritual power, the jade staff couldn't unleash its original power.

The black arrow veered off course, turning behind Han Cuiyin and heading straight for her again.

Lianyao had never acted this way in the Realm of Immortality.

Once she got there, she had no way to fight him.

Just as she was debating whether to enter the lotus-shaped space to save her life, a hand with distinct knuckles blocked the arrow.

"You...you should let go, or the evil energy will enter your body."

Luo Jingqian's ability to do so was somewhat beyond Han Cuiyin's expectations.

This person was concentrating on casting the Rain-Making Technique just now, and his spiritual energy was almost completely depleted. If he has been contaminated, he will probably need to recuperate for many days.

His hand gradually began to ooze red blood, and the black arrow became transparent until it disappeared completely.

"Han Cuiyin, you're lucky! Next time we meet, I won't let you escape."

As Lian Yao hurriedly tried to escape, a long sword blocked his path.

Luo Jingqian's face turned even paler, and he could no longer hold on and collapsed.

"Hey, wake up, don't faint!" Han Cuiyin caught him and patted his face hard. "You were trying to distance yourself from me before, but now you're saving me. What do you mean by this?"

Luo Jingqian didn't react at all, so she had no choice but to carry him on her back and land him steadily on the ground.

Before leaving, she glanced back at Lianyao, where the large knife was chasing after him.

She didn't know who the knife belonged to.

The fire on the long street has been extinguished, and people are taking care of the wounded.

Han Cuiyin chose a shortcut to avoid their gaze.

Their true identities cannot be revealed to the public for the time being.

Luo Jingqian's condition requires prompt medical attention.

She checked the direction and finally headed towards Ping'an Lane.

Because of the fire, people came out to watch from the nearby alleys, and some of the injured even walked together.

Their clothes were also stained with black and gray, but it didn't seem out of place.

No one paid them any attention.

Han Cuiyin quickened her pace and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was almost at Ping'an Lane.

There were people all along the way, so she didn't dare to feed Luo Jingqian the spiritual spring water.

She didn't dare send anyone over to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion either.

Only within the Yan family does she hold absolute authority.

But why do these people standing here in Ping'an Lane look so familiar?

When she got closer, she realized that it was actually the Han family's girls, accompanied by maids, servants, and two guards.

Before going to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, she saw a group of them strolling around. Why did Han Yueshi assign them here?

Could it be... that the Yan family's courtyard has been exposed?

Han Cuiyin lowered her head, not wanting to deal with these people.

Unfortunately, Han Runji wouldn't let her off the hook. "Young lady, judging from your attire, did you come from the long street? How is it over there? Has the fire been extinguished?"

The group of eight listened to Han Yueshi's instructions and waited there.

They only told Old Madam Han about their outing tonight, and did not inform Princess Mingxia.

Now that Han Yueshi has not arrived for a long time, they only dare to wait here and dare not return to the mansion first.

"The fire over there is out. You should head home as soon as possible, otherwise you might run into trouble if the officials start questioning you."

Han Cuiyin was not lying; someone had already been investigating the matter before she left.

"Thank you girl!"

After thanking him, Han Runji stopped blocking the road.

Han Cuiyin quickly left with her back to the person.

"Young ladies, the eldest young lady wants you to return to the manor immediately." A servant from the Han family rushed over. "Miss Yang has gone missing, and the old lady is in a bad mood."

Upon hearing this, the three daughters of the Han family panicked.

The two sisters, Han Yueshi and Han Lingzhi, were not afraid of Old Madam Han because they had Princess Mingxia backing them up.

The three of them are incomparable.

The second and third branches of the Han family depend on the eldest branch for their livelihood. If Princess Mingxia and Old Madam Han are angry, they will not have a good life either.

"Let's go!" the two girls from the second wife urged. "That couple has already gone home. What are you still looking at?"

"It's nothing, let's go!" Han Runji withdrew his gaze and left first.

The girl's voice sounded familiar; it was as if I'd heard it somewhere before.

Han Cuiyin, unaware that her voice had almost given her away, pounded on the door of the Yan family's house, shouting, "Uncle, quickly prepare a clean room for me, I need to save someone!"

Yan Dali quickly took the person from him. "Why did you pick one up too? Your cousin went out for a stroll and just brought back a girl. There's a doctor here, let's take a look at her together!"

After settling the person in the east wing, Han Cuiyin pushed Yan Dali out, saying, "Uncle, I need to save people, don't bother me!"

Immediately, the door to the side room was locked from the inside.

“Pah, pah~”

"Cuiyin, it's not appropriate for you two, a man and a woman, to be alone in a room together. Open the door!"

Yan Dali was startled by his niece. How could she not care about a woman's reputation when it was so important?

Back in Yanjiacun, he didn't know that Han Cuiyin had also saved the same man.

“Uncle, no one else can save me. If you want to protect my reputation, don’t spread this around. Rest assured, nothing will happen to me. I know what I’m doing.”

As soon as Han Cuiyin finished speaking, the knocking on the door stopped abruptly.

After Yan Dali left, things finally got a bit quieter.

Han Cuiyin took out spiritual spring water from the lotus seedpod space, "You're really getting a good deal!"

Luo Jingqian had a long wound on the palm of his right hand. The wound was black, and the skin and flesh were torn open, making it look shocking.

When the spring water was poured on, black smoke kept emanating from the wound.

Han Cuiyin bandaged his wound only after the skin stopped turning black.

As soon as she looked up, she met a pair of cold, phoenix-like eyes. "When did you wake up? Why didn't you make a sound when you were awake?"
