After the interstellar female general died in battle, she transmigrated into the body of a dashing p

Both of them were tortured, but they refused to say a word. These two siblings really had some backbone, and Zheng Zhian admired them a little.

I wonder if Lü Cao will end up like her brother if she finds out he was arrested.

Her maternal grandfather did not speak another word to her until the next day when he escorted her back to the palace.

Zheng Zhian knew that her maternal grandfather was still angry with her, but she would never compromise on this matter.

Even her father wouldn't speak to her, and had Yingyi take her directly to the Star-Picking Tower. He was also removed from his position as the head of the Shadow Guard and transferred to the Ming Guard to follow her.

Danqin was able to return to the palace after recovering from her injuries, and this was only the result she obtained by throwing a tantrum.

Now she's like she's in solitary confinement; she can't go anywhere except the Star-Picking Tower. Lü Cao has also been taken away by her maternal grandfather.

This is truly a case of losing both wife and army.

"Shadow One, do I still have any bodyguards around me?" On the way to the Star-Picking Tower, Zheng Zhian looked up at him.

She didn't believe her father wouldn't send someone to watch over her.

Carefully sensing the fluctuations around him, he thought, "There are eight." Shadow One's feelings were complex. He had been training in the Shadow Tower since he was five, serving as a shadow guard in the shadows for twenty years. This sudden shift into the sunlight was somewhat unsettling...

Eight! He really is her biological father.

"Do you know her?" We have to win her over, otherwise it will be inconvenient for her to do anything in the future.

Looking at her darting eyes, Yingyi glanced at a tree on the right with a complicated expression. "I know it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhian raised his little face and smiled brightly, asking happily, "What are their names?"

"Shadow Twelve, Shadow Two One..."

"Wait, you're named with numbers?" This is like counting; is this what you call names?

Seeing her disgusted look, Yingyi explained woodenly, "Well, it's ranked by martial arts skills."

So that's how it is! Zheng Zhian looked up and examined Yingyi's face. Perhaps because he hadn't seen the sun for many years, his skin was delicate and fair. His eyebrows were prominent but not ostentatious, with distinct features. Coupled with his aloof and cold temperament, he really had the air of a solitary pine tree.

Now that he's no longer the Shadow Guard, there must be someone else named Shadow One. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the name Shadow One was no longer worthy of him. "Shadow One, do you want to change your name?"

"Anything is fine." He had long forgotten his own name; it didn't really matter what he was called.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Zheng Zhian searched her memory for the poems she had learned.

Seeing her lost in thought, Yingyi didn't disturb her. He walked to the entrance of the Star-Picking Tower, and just as he was about to knock, Zheng Zhian looked up and asked, "Lingfei, how are you?" Her clear eyes looked at him. "Let's ride our horses and soar into the sky towards the sun; how about it?"

Unexpectedly, this was the meaning. Ying was stunned. It was as if a stone had been thrown into a deep pool that had been silent for a long time. It was not big, but it was enough to make the still water surface ripple.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Zheng Zhian thought he was dissatisfied and was about to say that if it wasn't good, they could change to another one, but then he saw him smile and say, "Okay."

This surprised Zheng Zhian. Yingyi, no, it's Ling Fei now, actually smiled. Not bad.

She patted his shoulder with her little hand. "Ling Fei, smile more often. It looks better that way."

Ling Fei, who had never been praised before, felt his ears burning instantly and hurriedly went to knock on the door, looking rather wooden.

"Ling Fei, you're shy!" Zheng Zhian teased, praising him but not expecting him to be so thin-skinned.

She suddenly became interested and wanted to tease Ling Fei a little more, so the door to the Star-Picking Tower was opened.

What a pity, we'll have to make fun of it later.

Ling Fei was incredibly grateful that the door was opened in time, not missing the regret in her eyes.

"Master, I'm here!" Zheng Zhian shouted, looking up. Why couldn't the Star-Picking Tower let others go up? If it were possible, she wouldn't have to strain her voice like this.

"Come up yourself." The aged, distant voice echoed in the air.

This content made Zheng Zhian want to jump up and down on the spot. Eight stories high! She looked up to the sky and wailed, "Master, my legs will be ruined if I climb up here."

After a long silence, Zheng Zhian pouted and said, "Let me down."

Ling Fei put her down on the ground and watched her weak and listless figure disappear into the distance.

Zheng Zhian was so tired after climbing only three floors that he plopped down on the wooden stairs, panting heavily.

I cursed that old man upstairs a thousand times in my heart.

These floors used to be nothing, but now my legs are too short! I definitely need to learn some light-footed skills.

After resting enough, she got up. Since she couldn't fly now, she could at least use her internal energy to walk.

She circulated the last bit of internal energy within her body, and to her surprise, she felt much more relaxed.

After completing the remaining four floors, Zheng Zhian deeply felt the benefits brought by her internal energy. She looked smugly at her master, who was leisurely drinking tea, her eyes filled with arrogance as if to say, "See, you can't stop me."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Lingran put down his teacup, nodded in satisfaction, and praised, "Indeed, very good."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhian waved his hand and said, "Not at all." He walked to the tea table, climbed onto a chair, gulped down two cups of tea, and finally licked his dry lips before chuckling, "Master."

She looked around again and, not seeing the white-robed boy who usually sat in the corner, asked, "Where's Senior Brother?"

"Going to practice martial arts." Xiao Huachi glanced at her sideways. "I heard you got into trouble again yesterday? You almost lost your life. You're really something!"

Zheng Zhian scratched his head awkwardly, trying to save face, "That was a mistake."

"How many lives do you have to let yourself make a mistake?" At this point, Xiao Huachi wanted to give her a couple of slaps. Looking at her hands, which were already wrapped in white gauze, he said sarcastically, "Serves you right."

Looking down at his own hands, Zheng Zhian nodded in agreement, "He deserved it." He then looked at the old man who showed signs of anger.

She quickly choked back tears and said softly, "Let's let this go."

This little one is utterly heartless. You could say she's smart, but she almost got herself killed. You could say she's not smart, but she still managed to drag someone out. Xiao Huachi rolled his eyes at her. "Pass? If your father hadn't been busy lately and hadn't had time to deal with you, do you think just putting her in solitary confinement would have been enough?"

Watching her slowly lower her head, fiddling with the knots on the gauze, he sighed helplessly. The Duke of Yun had gone to the palace late last night to tell the Emperor what she had done.

Those two came here to talk to him again, and he was so angry that he wanted to leave the palace immediately to deal with the little guy.

Three powerful figures in An Chongguo, whose mere presence could shake the nation, were racking their brains late at night to discuss the matter of a little girl.

Xiao Huachi walked to her side, scooped her up, and flew out of the pavilion with her in his arms.

Seeing them rushing out of the palace, Zheng Zhian immediately shouted, "Master, Master, Father won't let me leave the Star-Picking Tower!" She saw that Ling Fei had also caught up, and more importantly, there were several men in black behind him.

She really wants some peace and quiet for a while.

"Do you really listen to your father that much?" After saying that, Xiao Huachi actually thought it was true, and raised his hand to tap her on the head. "No kid is as resilient as you."

While others play in the mud, she plays with her life on end.

Xiao Huachi quickly stopped in front of a shop. Without giving her time to react, he handed her directly to a chubby middle-aged man and said, "Change her into a boy's outfit." Looking at her twin temples, he added, "And her hair."
