Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

Xiao Cui: Let's go then!

Shen Long: Little Orange, let me tell you, you'll be like this later...

Shen Long whispered something in Xiao Cui's ear, and Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly.

Street outside at night

The night sky was filled with a bright moon and countless stars, quiet and serene.

Behind a tree, Ye Yunjian was spying on Shen Long and his companion with a knife in hand.

Shen Long walked ahead, carrying a lantern and a sword. Xiao Cui followed behind, dragging her feet and walking slowly, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Shen Long urged, "Little Orange, hurry up. It's so late now, if we don't hurry, Aunt Li will close the door."

Xiao Cui cried out: "I've twisted my ankle, young master, come and help me!"

Shen Long: I am the young master. You don't come to help me, yet you dare to ask me to help you? Don't count on me.

Xiao Cui looked distressed: "Young Master is so heartless. I twisted my ankle, and you wouldn't help me up, and you even started cursing at me."

Shen Long chuckled: "Little Orange, don't blame me. We lost several hundred taels of silver today, so I'm in a bad mood. How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow when I'm free?"

Xiao Cui: That's more like it.

Shen Long helped Xiao Cui walk under the tree when Ye Yunjian suddenly appeared behind them, swiftly placing his knife on Shen Long's shoulder, startling them both into a halt. Shen Long shuddered and tried to turn around to look behind him.

Ye Yunjian said coldly, "Don't move. If you want to live, then obey my orders, understand?"

Shen Long: Why?

Ye Yunjian (knife to his neck): Did you see that clearly? Based on this alone, if you dare utter another word, I'll kill you all one by one, do you hear me?

Shen Long (nodding hastily): I understand, I understand. You're a robber grandpa, trying to rob us on the road. We have some gold and silver jewelry; you might as well take it all. As long as you don't hurt us, we can give you the money.

Ye Yunjian: I don't want money, I just want you two to do some things for me. Once it's done, I'll release you immediately.

Shen Long: Then what do you want us to do? We are all good citizens, we never do bad things.

Ye Yunjian sneered: If you don't do bad things, who will? Don't think I haven't heard of you.

Shen Long: What do you want us to do?

Ye Yunjian: Take me into the inn, and then I'll let you go.

Shen Long pointed and said: "That's easy. There's a Yunlai Inn right ahead. You'll see it if you walk a hundred steps!"

Ye Yunjian was furious: You're such a chatterbox, you talk too much nonsense, it seems you're not going to make it to the end.

Shen Long panicked: No, no, please don't kill me! I promise you, I won't ask you anything anymore, isn't that enough? But how can we take you there if you don't remove your weapon?

Ye Yunjian: I don't want to hurt you, but don't force me to take action. Anyone who dares to disobey me will face certain death.

The two nodded: They would definitely obey.

Ye Yunjian removed the knife, and Shen Long and the other turned to look at him. They saw that his shoulder was indeed injured, his clothes were blood-red, and he looked pained. Xiao Cui chuckled and looked at Shen Long.

Ye Yunjian scolded: What are you laughing at?

Xiao Cui pursed her lips: Can't I even smile?

Ye Yunjian: No.

Shen Long said: You're injured, you've lost a lot of blood.

Ye Yunjian glared: "No questions allowed, just obey! Take me to the inn right now, don't even think about escaping. You two brats, I could kill you with one hand."

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise: No way!

Ye Yunjian: You don't know? Look closely.

Ye Yunjian looked at a thick tree branch, swung his hand and chopped it off with a knife, startling the two people who covered their mouths in surprise and looked at him with fear in their eyes.

Ye Yunjian sneered: You've all seen it. Are your necks harder than tree branches? If you dare disobey, I'll chop your heads off.

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise: "You're amazing! We saw it clearly just now, so please don't scare us anymore."

Ye Yunjian snorted: "It's good that you know how powerful it is. Quickly tell Xiao Chengzi to find a big black robe, the sooner the better, so that no word gets out."

Xiao Cui exclaimed in surprise: Ah!

Ye Yunjian scolded: What are you saying?

Shen Long said anxiously: Little Orange, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and find a big black robe, the sooner the better.

Xiao Cui: Oh~.

Shen Long shouted: Listen, my life is in your hands. Don't run away and get me killed.

Xiao Cui nodded: I'll go right away...

Ye Yunjian scolded: Damn it, can you speak a little quieter?

Shen Long retorted: Why do you always curse at people? Can't you just speak properly?

Ye Yunjian sneered: You little crow, I've heard of your reputation in the city, and you really are a stubborn and stinking fellow.

Shen Long: Don't think I'm scared just because you have a knife. If you dare to curse at me like that again, I'm not leaving.

Ye Yunjian scolded: "Behave yourself! If you dare to utter another word, don't blame me for being merciless with my blade."

Shen Long: Who told you to swear? A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated.

Ye Yunjian: Alright, alright, I won't argue with you. As long as you behave well, I won't scold you.

Shen Long: That's more like it.

Xiao Cui (turning back randomly): I'm back again.

Ye Yunjian was surprised: You were that fast?

Xiao Cui asked in confusion: Didn't you say you wanted to hurry?

Ye Yunjian: Didn't you just say you sprained your ankle?

Xiao Cui: I just twisted my ankle, it's nothing serious.

Ye Yunjian: Not bad, you're very efficient.

Xiao Cui said smugly: That's for sure.

Ye Yunjian (wearing a black cloak): Alright, now take me to the inn.

Shen Long: Oh~

The two men led Ye Yunjian forward, Ye Yunjian holding a knife in one hand and keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

Xuancang Capital City.

Blindfolded and forced to walk forward step by step.

Si Tianxiang roared, "Who are you people?! I'm telling you! I am Prince Xuancang! I am Prince Xuancang!!!"

But they weren't afraid of her at all, and with a snap, they slammed their sword hilts onto her head: "Prince Xuancang?! We've captured Prince Xuancang!!!"

I don't know how long we walked, but we finally stopped.

"Boss! This is it! This is off-center enough!!!"

"That's it!!!" He punched Bai Yueling on the head: "Behave yourself!!!"

Si Tianxiang finally had the blindfold removed, and only then could he see the person in front of him clearly.

He finally found out who was behind everything, starting with the demon race.

Their target was her, but they inadvertently plotted against Prince Xuancang.

The people who spread the rumors about the demon race, the people who deliberately withheld money, and the people who advised Prince Xuancang to investigate the truth about her taking a concubine—if she wasn't mistaken, it was this same group who poisoned all the princes at the banquet! Because they wanted to pin the blame on her!

Si Tianxiang said coldly, "You are the Empress's people?!"

However, before Si Tianxiang could finish speaking, the thug punched her in the face. "You better behave yourself!!!"

Si Tianxiang looked around, but didn't know where to escape to.

Just as the bandits were about to sharpen their knives to kill Si Tianxiang, they unexpectedly discovered that Si Tianxiang was a cultivator.

"Boss! This Xuancang prince is actually a woman!!!"

"Ah! It's a woman?! Prince Xuancang is actually a woman?!?!"
