The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

The story begins when she saw Bai Jianan looking weak and with strange blue veins bulging on his body.

At that time, she suspected that something had happened to Bai Jianan, so she contacted Hua Xiangrong. However, Hua Xiangrong, who had previously been in contact with Heli Hong, knew nothing about it. Helpless, she could only ask Chu Tianyi for help. However, she learned from Chu Tianyi that the woman who assassinated her was actually related to Miao Di.

And that so-called Miao land is inextricably linked to Gu worms.

So from that time on, she suspected that Bai Jianan was under a spell, but she didn't know what kind of spell it was. And this question, apart from the Qilin Pavilion in the present day, was probably only known to the all-knowing Ironclad Soldier!

Since it concerned Bai Jianan, Jian Yue had no choice but to seek help from Hei Feng. Using the contact information Hei Feng had left behind, she found him, made a deal with him, and only then did she obtain all the information about Bai Jianan.

This incident truly shocked Jian Yue. She never imagined that Bai Jianan would have such a background, and that he would be treated this way by his own father.

Jian Yue's anger flared up instantly, but she was powerless to confront the person who had caused them so much suffering.

The Ironclad Warrior is indeed powerful, and Black Wind also said that as long as she acknowledges the Ironclad Warrior's new master, everything will be different.

However, this is a case of too little, too late. To control the armored soldiers immediately, you would need to win over all of them. Therefore, Jian Yue abandoned the suggestion made by Hei Feng.

However, in order to obtain this information, Jian Yue still became Hei Feng's apprentice. According to Hei Feng, this was a transaction, and something had to be paid for.

She originally intended to make this rendezvous secretly with Chu Tianyi. Although she had agreed to become Hei Feng's apprentice, she was still unwilling to ask him for help because of Hei Feng's attitude towards the Shangguan family.

But whether something went wrong or the armored soldiers were truly omniscient, they were eventually caught by Black Wind.

Jian Yue looked at Hei Feng with a helpless and gloomy face and said, "Put me down first."

Upon hearing this, Hei Feng did not move his arm, but smiled and said, "That won't do. I don't want you to run away a second time."

"Put her down."

Chu Tianyi's face was gloomy, his sword pointing directly at Hei Feng. He Xinle also held the special dagger that Jian Yue had given her, standing on the other side of Hei Feng, staring intently at him.

This was He Xinle's first real battlefield battle. Her opponent was very strong. From the moment he suddenly appeared and silently took away Jian Yue, who had already been escorted ashore by Chu Tianyi, she realized that even if she and Chu Tianyi joined forces, they might not be able to take Jian Yue back.

But if we don't save them...

He Xinle looked at Chu Tianyi with some hesitation. Seeing the seriousness and earnestness on Chu Tianyi's face, she immediately realized that retreating at this moment was impossible.

After thinking for a moment, her jealousy suddenly resurfaced, and her eyes flashed clearly.

He Xinle's emotions were clearly felt by the Black Wind. Suddenly, the corners of his lips turned up, and he said with a wicked smile, "This beauty who fell into the water will be obtained by the capable. She is in my hands. If you want me to let her go, you'll have to defeat me first."

As he spoke, he chuckled mockingly at Jian Yue, who was being held under his armpits, and said, "Hey apprentice, how's it going? My armpits don't smell, do they?"

Jian Yue was immediately speechless, glaring angrily at Hei Feng, but Hei Feng didn't care at all and easily blocked Chu Tianyi's sword.

He gripped the tip of Chu Tianyi's sword, turned back to look at Chu Tianyi, and said, "The Heartless Sword is not bad, but it's a pity that you haven't mastered its essence yet. What a pity."

As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his fingers, and a crisp sound was heard. Chu Tian's expression changed instantly. He suddenly used his free hand to strike at Hei Feng with a palm wind. Hei Feng simply turned slightly to the side and dodged it. The next moment, the tip of Chu Tian's sword was severed in response.

He Xinle was immediately alarmed and lunged at Hei Feng. Hei Feng sneered and threw the tip of his sword. The force of the wind knocked He Xinle back. In the moment of danger, He Xinle raised the dagger in his hand to block in front of his face, knocking the sword tip away. However, the impact made his hand go numb and he staggered backward.

Chu Tian stared intently at the broken sword in his hand, his face deathly pale. He couldn't believe that the sword had broken in his own hands.

The Heartless Sword had been with him ever since he became the Heartless Old Man's apprentice, year after year, day after day, without ever making a mistake. Yet now, it was easily broken by just two of the other party's fingers. How could this be?

His eyes were filled with shock, pain, and even more so with confusion. He looked up at Hei Feng, who smiled and said calmly, "This sword is man. The Heartless Sword emphasizes the unity of man and sword, and the unity of heaven and earth. But you ultimately failed to achieve this unity, and therefore, the sword will break."

It's a pity that in the hundred-year history of the Valley of Heartbreak, not a single worthy descendant has emerged. That old bastard Heartbreak lived those decades in vain.

As he spoke, he gently lifted Jian Yue up slightly and said, "I'm not playing with you anymore. Let's talk again another time."

As if chatting casually, Hei Feng waved goodbye, then took Jian Yue with him and soared into the air, disappearing from their sight in an instant. Upon seeing this, He Xinle immediately went to Chu Tianyi's side and looked at him with concern.

"Brother Xiao Yi".

Chu Tian shook his head, ignoring He Xinle, and turned his gaze away to continue staring at the broken sword in his hand. After a long while, he murmured to himself, "Why?"

He Xinle looked at him in confusion and said, "What do you mean, why? Brother Xiaoyi, don't be sad anymore. This sword is broken, so it's definitely no good. When I go back to the City of the Uncrowned, I'll get you the best sword."

Chu Tianyi glanced at her coldly, turned and left. He Xinle was stunned, then followed closely and said, "Hey, Brother Xiaoyi, don't be too sad. You see, we really can't beat that person, we really can't save Miss."

Moreover, I saw that the man claimed to be the young lady's master, and the young lady didn't refute it, so I think he definitely wouldn't hurt her. So, let's just relax.

As for your sword, I will immediately write to my father and have him send me the finest sword from the City of the Uncrowned. Little brother, you don't know, the swords of the City of the Uncrowned are all from the previous dynasty. It is said that our ancestors collected them here when they came here, and they are all good swords.”

She chattered on and on with a bright smile on her face, but Chu Tian just pursed his lips and ignored her completely.

His sword was the treasure of the Valley of Heartbreak, something passed down through generations of the Heartbreak Sword. How could it be so easily broken? And what that person said suddenly reminded him of what his master had once told him.

"Tianyi, your talent is great, but you don't understand what love is. Don't underestimate the word 'love'. Emotions in this world are ever-changing, and a single thought can change many outcomes."

This Heartless Sword represents the ultimate convergence of all emotions in the world. Heartlessness is compassion, and compassion is heartlessness. The highest realm of the Heartless Sword is to achieve complete ruthlessness.

But if one cannot experience all the emotions in this world, then this sword of heartlessness will ultimately come to nothing.

As he said this, a faint sense of loss and reminiscence appeared in his eyes, as if he were searching for someone in his memory. He didn't understand at the time, but he didn't dare to ask.

Now, the flaw in his sword has been directly exposed, and that person easily destroyed his precious sword. In other words, his Heartless Sword will ultimately fail to reach the supreme peak that his master spoke of.

But why is this?

He entered the mortal world with the aim of mastering the Heartless Sword to its highest level and bringing glory to his sect, but now it seems that he has made no progress whatsoever.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped, turned around and quickly went back the way he came. He Xinle was stunned for a moment, and then the jealousy in the corner of his eyes intensified.

He chased after him, calling out, "Brother Xiao Yi, where are you going? You couldn't catch up with that person before, so going back now would be pointless!"

Back at the original spot, Chu Tianyi didn't linger. Instead, he quickly recalled the direction in which the man in black had disappeared and chased after him. By the time He Xinle arrived at the place where the battle had just taken place, Chu Tianyi was nowhere to be seen. He was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"Princess."

"roll."

The person who suddenly appeared behind her said something, and He Xinle cursed at her. She searched around but couldn't find which way Chu Tianyi had gone. She turned around and said to the person behind her, "Did you see his location clearly?"

The guard behind him looked uncomfortable and shook his head expressionlessly, saying, "He was too fast, and I was following you, so I didn't notice where he went."

Upon hearing this, He Xinle flew into a rage, angrily saying, "What use are you all to me? What did I come to the Central Plains for? Wasn't it to bring my husband back? Why are you all watching me instead of him?"

The guard lowered his eyes and calmly replied, "My duty is to protect the princess and keep her safe."

He Xinle's face turned red with anger. He glared at the guard, turned around and walked towards the city, saying angrily as he walked, "I'm going to file a complaint and tell Father that you have not fulfilled your duties at all."

The guard's eyes flickered, and he followed He Xinle, saying, "Princess, you must be careful with your words. This is the Yue Kingdom, and the Uncrowned City is still within the territory of the Yue Kingdom. You must not casually utter the words 'Father Emperor,' otherwise, you will be killed."

He Xinle immediately sneered: "What's it to you? I'm a princess, you just listen to me. Why are you talking so much? I know better than you what to say and what not to say. Now, don't come with me to find my little brother, otherwise, I will never forgive you."

With that, she snorted and walked into the city, kicking the stones under her feet angrily as she went.

The guard vanished in the blink of an eye, but instead of heeding He Xinle's instructions to search for Chu Tianyi, he disappeared, quietly following behind He Xinle, protecting her safety.
