The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

"Is it so simple that you can just give her the keepsake your mother left for your Crown Princess?" Yuan Yun toyed with the teacup in her hand, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "You should know the significance of that thing. If someone with ulterior motives sees it, it will cause her trouble, unless you are really confident that you can make her your Empress, but given the current situation, that seems unlikely."

Upon hearing Yuan Yun's words, Di Beizun paused for a moment, then took a breath and said calmly, "I only lent her the sword. I have some friendship with her, that's all. Little Mink seems to enjoy being close to her."

“Brother, I remember you never bothered to explain anything to anyone.” Yuan Yun’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and his expression became somewhat serious. “I’m a little curious about what kind of person this Sikong Jin really is. The information I’ve gathered about her is almost entirely negative. Although I didn’t originally want to get to know her this way, you know I’m worried about you, so I had to take precautions. The time I spent with her was actually quite a happy one.”

"In that case, go find her."

Di Beizun slightly tightened his hands and said this.

Yuan Yun suddenly smiled, watching Di Beizun's robes sway in the wind, large golden auspicious clouds seemingly about to break free and fly into the sky, causing her to be momentarily dazed. After a long while, she spoke, "Her life is very valuable now. The Emperor of Liao is willing to offer 200,000 taels of gold as a reward for any martial arts master who can kill her, Sikong Jin. Many sects and forces have received the bounty. As long as Sikong Jin dares to show up, those who are hunting her will... However, I heard that after she and her subordinates fled the northwestern border of Dayong, they separated. There is intelligence that she seems to be heading towards Luoyang City..."

Luoyang City...

"Of course, I guess Fengyun Tower has also received such a bounty, so I guess Sikong Jin doesn't dare to show her face probably because she knows someone wants to assassinate her. In addition, Protector Changfeng seems to be quite familiar with her, and she also has another identity called Nan Chen, who is the behind-the-scenes owner of the Hilton in this city. Did you know all this?"

Yuan Yun simply told Di Beizun everything she knew.

Emperor Beizun frowned slightly, and after a while, his expression relaxed a little. "These things... don't let anyone other than you and me know about them, and don't reveal a single word to Father and Mother either."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yun was slightly surprised, but after a moment of calm, she nodded and sighed, "Whatever you want. No one can control your affairs anyway. That's all I know. She won't gain anything from this contest with Xi Fenglie, and whether she can make it to Luoyang City alive is still unknown."

As she spoke, Yuan Yun suddenly stood up listlessly. "I'm going to check how the food is prepared. You don't need to keep me company. I'll go back to Zuishengmengsi after I finish eating. If you need anything, just have them send me a message. I'm leaving!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she put on her veil, and the pale blue figure slowly moved towards the door. In a short while, the light-colored figure had disappeared outside the door...

The Hangu Wangzhou region is naturally different from the northwest of Dayong. This large area is located in the south and is much hotter than the cold northwest all year round. Moreover, the hot summer has passed and the crisp autumn will soon arrive. However, the weather is still very hot and humid. Even after several heavy rains, it is not possible to bring away any heat. When the sun comes out, even the slightest breeze is hot.

The area around Hangu Pass and Wangzhou, near Luoyang, the number one city in the martial arts world, is full of bustling towns. This large area is the territory of martial arts practitioners, and the official roads and paths leading to Luoyang are busy every day.

At this time, in a bustling and prosperous market town near the intersection of several essential roads leading to Luoyang.

'Da Da!'

Boom! Boom!

The sound of galloping hooves echoed as large numbers of people and horses galloped back and forth, and dust billowed everywhere on the wide streets.

"The sun is so scorching, and I'm wearing so many layers, but I still feel freezing cold! Southern liquor just can't keep you warm like Northwestern liquor; it's as bland as water! Damn it, it's so noisy!"

On the second floor of a restaurant next to the street, a thin-looking boy shrank back, pulled his clothes tighter, and cursed.

The boy looked young, with a delicate, childlike face that was slightly pale and weak. He seemed cold; it was already the height of summer, yet he was still dressed in a black outfit with a cloak draped over his shoulders, and his whole body trembled slightly.

After parting ways with Berger and the others in the Northwest Issu Canyon, Sikong Jin dragged her nearly collapsed and broken body slowly across the Malan Mountains, heading towards Luoyang City.

She was often hungry or full during the journey, and often traveled for several days in the mountains before finally encountering a small village.

Although Xi Fenglie threw her a pill when he returned, it was not an antidote. If it weren't for Sikong Jin's powerful internal energy suppressing the poison, she would probably have died from the poison by now.

However, to completely get rid of the poison in her body, she needed several kinds of precious medicinal herbs, which were not easy to obtain elsewhere. Moreover, she had long since run out of money. Helpless, Sikong Jin had no choice but to head to Luoyang City. She also wanted to check on Sikong Mo's current situation. It had been more than a year since she last saw him, and she imagined that he must have changed a lot.

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Sikong Jin subconsciously reached for her purse, only to realize she was penniless. Left with no other option, she resorted to her old method—

He sighed and muttered to himself, "This must be the last time I use this trick. It's too damaging to my image. If someone recognizes me, all my good reputation will be ruined. I can't afford to take any chances!"

She completely forgot that she had told herself the same thing last time.

She pulled a motionless cockroach from her sleeve, secretly channeling her inner energy into her palm. A faint wisp of smoke seemed to rise from her hand. Then, she rolled up her sleeves, smashed the wine bottle on the table, and stood up angrily, shouting, "Is this what humans eat? How could you find something like this in your food? Bah! Where's the manager? Get out here right now!"

The shopkeeper seemed to be very experienced in handling these matters. As soon as he heard the commotion, he rushed over with several capable employees, each holding a long wooden stick and staring menacingly at Sikong Jin.

Upon seeing this, Sikong Jin's expression changed slightly, but she remained calm on the surface.
