The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

As time marches on, the Emperor's sixtieth birthday is fast approaching!

Gu Lingxi and her servants were extremely busy! Besides focusing on her cultivation, Gu Lingxi also had to organize things in her spatial storage every day! In her spare time, she also had to check on the training progress at the shop!

She planned to open her shop before the Emperor's birthday! With envoys from various countries arriving early, merchants from all over, and tourists flocking to the capital, the city would be bustling with activity! Her shop would be an instant success! Opening branches later would be much easier! She believed her "First-Class Thousand Gold Pavilion" would become a household name!

A slight smile curved her lips! Gu Lingxi was extremely happy! Then, as if she remembered something, her face fell, scrunching into a puffy mess!

Thinking back to that day, when she went to the Demon Feather Palace's Imperial Capital headquarters with a mix of excitement and trepidation to receive her dowry! Ugh, she was filled with regret! Her own father was such a jerk!

She had assumed that the Demon Feather Palace, judging by its name, must be a prestigious, wealthy, and powerful sect!

Add to that Leng Yu's previous blatant praise and rumors! And that gleaming, golden Palace Master's Token her own father gave her! She thought she'd struck gold, that her life was about to rise to a whole new level! But alas! It really was her father! Could she possibly back out now?

That day, she took Leng Feng with her to inquire around! After several twists and turns, they finally found the Demon Feather Palace's location!

In an inconspicuous alley, there was a tiny pharmacy, practically empty. A young apprentice was arranging herbs on the counter, while an old man lay leisurely in the sun, basking in the sunlight through the only window.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one paid any attention, Gu Lingxi had no choice but to pretend to cough twice! Cough cough!

A young medicine boy, about eight or nine years old, finally looked up from a pile of herbs at Gu Lingxi, who had made the sound!

Young master, are you here to get medicine, see a doctor, or have your fortune told?

Gu Lingxi looked puzzled. Face reading? What does that mean? Considering that the Demon Feather Palace also deals in murder, this must be some kind of code!

Gu Lingxi smiled without saying a word, and nudged the cold wind beside her!

Leng Feng, understanding the situation, pulled out his own Xuan Tie token from his pocket and waved it in front of Xiao Yao! "We don't treat illnesses, prescribe medicine, or tell fortunes!"

The young apprentice saw the black iron token and clearly recognized it! His mouth gaped open! His grandfather also had one of these tokens!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

What are you doing? Are you trying to summon my soul, kid?! Didn't you hear people say they don't see doctors, don't get medicine, and don't have their fortunes told? Go away, don't disturb this old man's sleep!

Gu Lingxi curled her lips. This old man, is this how you do business? No wonder it's so deserted! She smiled and squinted, taking out the golden Palace Master's Token from her pocket and placing it on the counter!

The young medicine boy was even more shocked! He stammered, "Grandpa, Second Grandpa! Second Grandpa!"

Are you ever going to shut up? What grandfather, second grandfather? Your second grandfather just passed away a few days ago and you're already thinking about him again?

Annoyed to no end, Ye Yunsheng slowly opened his eyes and got up. When he saw the golden token in his grandson's hand, he was startled and gasped! "So, your second grandfather is here again?"

No, these two young masters brought it!

Ye Yunsheng then looked at the two people in the hall!

A few days ago, Ye Yunchu informed him before leaving that he would hand over the Demon Feather Palace to Gu Lingxi!

Could this be his poor little niece?

Tears welled in Ye Yunsheng's eyes as he rubbed his hands together excitedly! "You...you must be my second brother's daughter, Gu Lingxi!" Looking at the face that bore a striking resemblance to his second brother in his youth, Ye Yunsheng was filled with mixed emotions.

Great! Let's go to the inner courtyard and talk! I am your father's elder brother, Ye Yunsheng, your uncle! This is my grandson, your cousin!

When Ye Xiaoxuan heard her grandfather introduce her, she was very excited. "You're Xuan'er's aunt!" "Oh! That's great! I have an aunt now!"

Seeing how excited and happy the child was, Gu Lingxi affectionately patted the little one's head! "Good girl, Xuan'er! I came in a hurry today, I'll make up for it another day with a gift for you!"

That's wonderful! Auntie is so kind!

In the backyard, several burly men were practicing martial arts! They were all very curious when they saw Ye Yunsheng leading Gu Lingxi and her servant in!

Normally, for any missions, the Qingchi Hall Master receives the person in the underground secret room! He wouldn't come to the backyard! For Elder Ye to personally lead the way, that person's status must be extraordinary!

"Who are these two elders?!" Qingchi stopped his training and asked first.

Ye Yunsheng didn't say anything explicitly, but went straight to the small stone table in the courtyard and sat down!

Come, my dear nephew, sit here!

Gu Lingxi didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on it!

"Little Chi, guess what? You were the one who held her the most when she was little! Even I never got to hold her even once!" There was a strong hint of sourness in his words!

Gu Lingxi rolled her eyes. This old man was so unserious, even his introductions were so unconventional! He really was her uncle!

The one he held the most? The young lady? The young master? In his entire life, he had only held the newborn young master a little over a decade ago, during their escape to the capital! He still vividly remembered how miserable he, a grown man, cried outside the door after giving her to the Gu family! Fortunately, it was windy and rainy at the time, and no one heard him!

Qingchi's eyes were red with excitement! He knelt down with a thud! Young Master!

Seeing that even the Qingchi Hall Master had knelt down, the others dared not hesitate and all knelt down to pay their respects to Gu Lingxi!

Ye Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction! Now she is not only your young master, but also your palace master! The second brother has already abdicated and given the Demon Feather Palace to this girl as her dowry!

The group exchanged glances and congratulated each other in unison: "Congratulations, young master! You will be the lord of our Demon Feather Palace from now on!"

Hmm! Gu Lingxi is very satisfied! Okay, everyone, please stand up! Then I'll trouble Uncle Chi to explain the specific situation of our Demon Feather Palace to me in detail!

After listening to Qingchi's account for a few cups of tea, Gu Lingxi's face darkened! It turned out that ever since her father used the power of the Demon Feather Palace to avenge her mother, he had lost all interest in managing this place! The once glorious Demon Feather Palace had only managed to survive for ten years by clinging to its former glory! Now, it was even operating at a loss! Sometimes, it had to rely on aid from Wuyang City to barely stay afloat!

Uncle, how many years has it been since you opened your shop?

Hehe! Hearing his niece's words, Ye Yunsheng blushed and said awkwardly, "What nonsense are you spouting! I even sold a few bottles of poison a few months ago! Several thousand taels of silver!"

Good heavens, they haven't had a sale in three years, but now that they've made a profit, they're living off it for three years!

Gu Lingxi seemed to have thought of something, his handsome face darkening slightly! Could it be that one of the bottles contained the Dream-Entering Essence?

"Huh? Yes! How did you know, niece? You didn't buy it, did you?" Ye Yunsheng asked, looking surprised.

I didn't buy it! And it's related to me! Doesn't that count as me almost being poisoned to death?!

"Huh? Who was it? That bastard dared to poison you! I'll have your Uncle Chi kill him later! Come here, let your uncle take your pulse!" He grabbed Gu Lingxi's arm as he spoke!

But she easily dodged it! What a coincidence! Her own poison almost killed her! If she hadn't transmigrated, the original owner wouldn't have been as skilled as her to dodge it!

Uncle is alright! If something had happened, you wouldn't be here right now! I've already sent those two poisonous women to the underworld!
