In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Just as Han Fei was drinking his wine in a depressed mood, an uninvited guest arrived at Zilan Pavilion.

A pretty and lively young girl in a red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the maid in front of her who was responsible for greeting her.

She gave a soft snort and said:

"Hey, tell me where Han Fei is right now, or I'll gouge your eyes out."

Looking at the elegantly dressed and arrogant young woman in front of her, the maid in charge of receiving her was at a loss.

This is Princess Honglian. She originally wanted to go shopping with Han Fei, but he secretly came to drink again. So, Honglian, who was furious, came to Zilan Pavilion to drag Han Fei out.

At this moment, the noise downstairs attracted Zi Nu, who had just come out.

Zi Nu walked gracefully towards the young girl.

He first gave the maid a wink, then smiled and said:

"So it's Princess Honglian who has graced us with her presence. Please be patient, I will now take you to see your brother, Han Fei."

Facing the gentle and welcoming Zi Nu, Hong Lian let out a huff with her rosy cheeks, then pouted and followed behind Zi Nu.

Honglian followed Zinu to the top floor. It was Honglian's first time in such a place, and she seemed very curious about everything around her.

Just as she was looking around, the door at the far end of the room suddenly opened, and a demon dressed in a white theatrical costume walked out of the room.

Through the small gap, Honglian saw the man who amazed her.

His black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, his eyes were sharp and his eyebrows were bright, he was handsome and otherworldly, and his pair of crimson-gold eyes revealed a faint indifference and an aura of domineering power that seemed to stand alone in the world.

Although the door closed quickly, Honglian remained rooted to the spot, her mouth slightly agape.

Seeing that Honglian hadn't followed, Zinu turned around and asked:

"What's wrong, Princess Honglian?"

Coming to her senses, Honglian composed herself, pointed to the deepest room, and asked calmly:

Who are those people inside?

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's alluring yet aloof face revealed a half-smile.

He said with a playful tone:

"He is the most distinguished person here..."

Honglian became even more curious about this, and Zinu looked at Honglian and reminded her:

"Princess, Young Master Han Fei is in a room not far away."

"Ow."

Led by Zi Nu, Hong Lian arrived at the door of a room.

Honglian kicked the door open.

Seeing Han Fei inside, completely drunk, he couldn't help but feel furious.

He stepped forward and grabbed Han Fei's ear.

"Brother! You've been secretly drinking here again, and so much at that!"

Han Fei, who was already somewhat drunk, was startled awake by Hong Lian's rebuke and broke out in a cold sweat, instantly sobering up.

Han Fei, his face flushed, chuckled dryly and rubbed his hands together as he said:

"Hehe, Honglian, I just came here... to have a drink."

Honglian glanced at the wine cups piled high on the table, snorted coldly, and tightened her grip on Han Fei's ear.

"Ouch~ It hurts... Honglian, I know I was wrong, please let me go."

"Hmph~" Honglian released her grip on Han Fei's hand.

"Since you know you're wrong, I'll punish you by making you come with me to the market."

Han Fei lay on his back, his eyes filled with a faint sadness and despair.

"Okay... my princess..."

Honglian walked out of the room with her head held high, followed by a dejected Han Fei.

Zi Nu looked at the lively brother and sister, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"It's really interesting..."

As Honglian walked out through the corridor, she glanced once more at the room at the far end.

To her disappointment, the room door was closed this time.

Honglian, who was walking while looking back, didn't notice anyone in front of her at all.

As a result, he almost bumped into the tall figure walking towards him.

Fortunately, the man had caught Honglian's arm beforehand.

Honglian turned her head to look at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.

Isn't this the mysterious man she just wanted to meet?

Ying Ziqing frowned slightly as she looked at Honglian, who was staring at her. She didn't think she had ever met this spoiled little princess before.

Han Fei, standing to the side, cupped his hands in greeting, "What a coincidence, to run into Young Master Ying here."

Ying Ziqing nodded slightly in return, then continued walking inside.

He had nothing to say to Han Fei; their paths diverged, and they could not work together.

Honglian stared at Ying Ziqing's retreating figure until it disappeared before turning to look at her adopted brother, Han Fei.

"Han Fei, do you know him?"

"Don't ask so many questions, kid." Han Fei gave Honglian a flick on the forehead.

He also realized that his younger sister might be infatuated with Ying Ziqing. Although Ying Ziqing was excellent in every way, he was definitely not suitable to be his brother-in-law.

I absolutely cannot allow Honglian and Young Master Ying to have any interaction...

After a while,

"...He is Ying Ziqing, the third prince of Qin, and the envoy visiting Han this time...I say, can you let me go now?"

"Hmph~ That's pretty much it."

Honglian hummed a little tune and skipped away, leaving Han Fei heartbroken.

Who would have thought that he, the dignified ninth prince of Korea, would be blackmailed by his own sister?

woo~~

Night falls, and there is no moon tonight. Only a few sparse stars hang in the sky, making the night sky seem less dim.

Dressed in a black robe and armor, and wearing a Shura mask, Ying Ziqing stood with his hands behind his back at the top of a tall building.

His crimson-gold eyes gazed indifferently at the bustling city beneath his feet.

Suddenly, a dark figure leaped onto the tall building.

Appearing before Ying Ziqing,

It was Tu Su who had come to deliver the intelligence.

Tu Su knelt on one knee, presented the parchment scroll with both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"General, I have located the hiding place of the 100,000 taels of military pay and we can take action at any time."

Ying Ziqing took the parchment scroll and said calmly:

"Well done, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you."

After speaking, Ying Ziqing placed her palm above Tu Su's head, and golden internal energy slowly entered Tu Su's body.

Tu Su lowered his head and remained silent.

Ying Ziqing glanced sideways. Although his own supreme yang internal energy had the ability to unblock meridians and break shackles, the process was so painful that ordinary people could not endure it. Tu Su, however, was able to remain silent, even though sweat had begun to trickle down his face.

"Embrace your inner energy and return to your origin, following my internal strength to break through to the innate level."

Tu Su gritted his teeth and channeled his energy, beginning his assault on the shackles within his body. With a barely audible cracking sound,

Tu Su unleashed an aura several times stronger than before.

It was innate, and that was it.

Tu Su concealed his aura, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Commander, for helping me break through."

"This is what you deserve. Now that you have entered the Innate Realm, fill the void left by the Earthly Star."

"Yes, sir. Tu Su, the Earthly Star, pays his respects to the Commander."

Ying Ziqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards Ji Wuye's general's mansion, a cryptic smile appearing on his face beneath the mask.

He held a white piece between two fingers and flicked his wrist, shooting it towards the general's mansion.

"Tu Su, go and tell the Bad Guys to make preparations."

"Yes, Commander."
