All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

After that, no one said anything more.

Even if they don't say it, the resentment in their hearts still exists.

Hua Jingyue was also worried about leaving Lin Yue'e alone in Hengyang City, so she wanted to take her back to Qingyou City with her.

However, Lin Yue'e refused.

She felt that since it was her family who had committed these sins, she had a responsibility to make amends to them.

He then took on the heavy responsibility of Hengyang City and became the new city lord.

While overseeing the reconstruction of Hengyang City, he also tried to calm the emotions of the people.

They even opened the city lord's treasury and distributed gold coins to the disaster-stricken families in Hengyang City, according to the severity of their suffering.

The amounts range from ten thousand to one hundred thousand, which can be considered as some compensation.

The dead are dead, and the enemies have received their due punishment.

They still have to live their lives, and at least with this money, their lives will be a little better in the future.

Of course, these are things to follow.

After the matter in Hengyang City was resolved, Hua Jingyue and Hua Jinghe returned to Qingyou City.

Feng Ning and the others waited in Hengyang City for Gu Wenlang and his group to come out, and also helped Lin Yue'e deal with the matters in Hengyang City.

They were, after all, from the Tianxuan Sect. Although the others had some opinions about Lin Yue'e, they dared not say anything unpleasant to them.

Over this period of time, Lin Yue'e has done a good job by handling everything personally, and other people's resentment towards her has lessened.

However, many people died in Hengyang City, and it was severely destroyed. Rebuilding it will not be a simple matter.

Fortunately, the matter has been resolved, and things in Hengyang City are developing in a positive direction.

When Lin Yue'e was resolving the issues in Hengyang City, she did not forget to reward them.

Lord Lin possessed a hidden spiritual vein. Knowing what had happened in Hengyang City, Lin Yue'e realized she might not be able to protect the vein, so she gave it to the four of them.

Giving it to her benefactor could at least be considered a gesture of loyalty and righteousness, but if it were taken away by someone else, she would be unwilling to accept it.

Feng Ning and the others did not refuse, and the four of them received spirit stones from a spiritual vein, making a fortune.

Feng Ning looked at the spiritual vein and felt that it was somewhat unusual.

The little Vermilion Bird said with shrewd eyes, "Of course it's extraordinary. The spiritual vein here has already developed sentience. There should be a spirit crystal here. If you can get it, you can almost get a continuous source of spirit stones."

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at the others, "Search carefully, there should be a spirit crystal here, which is the soul of the entire spirit vein."

Yao Feibai's pupils contracted. "Spirit crystals! Are you sure?"

Duan Menghua was also startled, "This spiritual vein doesn't look very big, how could it produce spiritual crystals?"

Feng Ning was a little puzzled. How come these two seemed to know about spirit crystals?

She turned to look at Liu Yuanxiu and saw that he, like herself, had a bewildered expression.

It seems these two know quite a bit.

She nodded. "I was just guessing. Let's look for it. Who knows if it's true?"

Then the four of them started searching inside.

However, spirit crystals can also be hidden. They usually look similar to spirit stones, so how can mortals like them see them?

In the end, after they had filled all the spirit stones, they still hadn't seen any spirit crystals.

Liu Yuanxiu scratched his head. "Are you sure your intuition is correct? I can't find it."

Feng Ning sighed helplessly, "I already said it was just a guess, so if it's not true, it's true."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Feng Ning suddenly received a voice from the little Vermilion Bird in the space, "Master, she is right behind you on the right, underground!"

Feng Ning's eyes lit up instantly, "Wait a minute!"

Then he ran straight to the spot indicated by Little Vermilion Bird and squatted down to dig.

She was quick, and in no time she dug a small pit the size of a washbasin, and sure enough, she saw a spirit stone lying inside.

This spirit stone is indeed somewhat unusual. It looks more lustrous than other spirit stones, and unlike other spirit stones, it doesn't only have one color.

It is transparent on the outside and filled with colorful light on the inside, making it look very beautiful.

She held it in her hand and examined it for a long time, but she couldn't see any sign of intelligence in it.

She had some doubts again, "Little Vermilion Bird, are you sure it has intelligence?"

"Don't doubt my eyesight, okay? I'm a divine beast! How could I not even see a small stone?"

Hearing the loud shouting, Feng Ning quickly closed the space and spared her ears.

The others also gathered around, but after looking for a long time, they couldn't see any difference.

Duan Menghua said in confusion, "Isn't it said that spirit crystals all develop sentience? This one doesn't seem to have sentience."

Yao Feibai smiled. "Now that it has developed intelligence, do you think it will sense danger and hide itself?"

Duan Menghua's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"

Then he raised his hand and poked it, but the spirit crystal still didn't move at all.

She immediately lost interest.

"Forget it, it's not fun."

Then he stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Then let's give this spirit crystal to Sister Feng Ning. Do you have any objections?"

Yao Feibai shook his head, "If it weren't for Feng Ning, we might not have been able to complete this mission. This spirit crystal is rightfully hers."

Liu Yuanxiu quickly added, "I wasn't much of a help, so I have no objections."

Duan Menghua winked playfully at Feng Ning, "Then Sister Feng, please accept it."

Feng Ning did not refuse and put the spirit crystal into her spatial storage, then asked Kong Kong to find a place to put it.

It generates spirit stones on its own and does not require special care.

Moreover, the spiritual energy inside the space is much denser than outside, which is beneficial to it.

Afterwards, the group returned directly to Hengyang City.

On the fourth day of their stay in Hengyang City, Gu Wenlang arrived in Hengyang City with his group.

They were shocked to see the devastation in Hengyang.

However, the matter has been resolved, and since they didn't experience anything particularly thrilling, they didn't dwell on it much.

Gu Wenlang adopted the demeanor of a refined gentleman, "Junior Sister Feng, how are things going with your matter?"

Looking at him like this, Feng Ning felt her eyebrows twitching.

They both clearly wanted to project an image of being dashing and debonair.

But her master happened to be a noble young man who seemed like an immortal.

Looking at this Gu Wenlang again, I feel a bit nauseous after a few more glances.

She replied expressionlessly, "Yes, we can go back to the sect now."

She was about to walk past him when he suddenly reached out to grab her.

Feng Ning felt a wave of nausea wash over her.
