The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

After fleecing the Wuji Dao Sect, all that's left is to wait for the spirit stones to arrive.

However, Yun Yici considered that given the Lingwei Sect's high standards, if she just stayed here waiting for the spirit stones to arrive and went to collect them immediately, her eagerness for wealth would be seen as inappropriate.

So she decided to wait a while before collecting the spirit stones.

Anyway, the storage box at the entrance of the outer pavilion is connected to the outer pavilion. Unless the entire outer pavilion is destroyed, no one can steal or rob the spirit stones inside.

With no ties to them in Yinxian City, Wen Fuyue decided to return to her sect.

Mu Yunjian will not go back with them; he will go to the Demon Realm with Ying Ren to cultivate diligently.

On the first day, Wen Fuyue went to check on Ying Ren and Mu Yunjian's cultivation progress. He was convinced and handed Mu Yunjian over to Ying Ren.

The emperor was the happiest. With the most possessive Mu Yunjian gone, he could slowly cultivate his relationship with Yun Yici.

Unexpectedly, Yun Yi came to bid farewell to Wen Fuyue, saying that she wanted to continue her training with the blind man.

Wen Fuyue, the master, actually agreed!

The imperial edict almost resulted in the Xie family mansion being demolished.

Did he go to the Nanhua Sect to collect a debt from Wen Fuyue?

Wen Fuyue really knows how to make herself look good!

In a fit of anger, the emperor went to find Wen Fuyue first: "What do you mean by this? You clearly said that as long as your disciple is happy, you have no objection."

"That blind man has no spiritual power at all. What kind of training can she possibly gain by going with him? Are you crazy?"

Emperor Zhao thought to himself, if he had known this would happen, he would have been better off suggesting that he take Yunyi and go to the Demon Realm for training first.

Wen Fuyue couldn't reveal Shen Huaichuan's true identity, but she said vaguely, "Xiao Ci has her own ideas, and she made her own decision. I won't stand in her way."

To be taught by Shen Huaichuan is a great honor for any sword cultivator.

If he didn't stop Mu Yunjian, he certainly wouldn't stop Yun Yici.

He just felt very sorry that he, as their mentor, was not good enough to help them go further.

The emperor originally intended for Wen Fuyue to play the villain and force Yun Yici to stay, but he did not expect Wen Fuyue to be so unyielding. He snorted and went directly to find Yun Yici.

But when they arrived, they found nothing.

Seeing that Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici, master and disciple, were completely unconvincing, the emperor simply went to Shen Huaichuan and prepared to make this mortal without spiritual power back down.

Faced with the overwhelming imperial edict, Wan Nian was startled, but Shen Huaichuan remained calm: "Wan Nian, you go out first. Fellow Daoist Di Zhao is here to see me."

Wan Nian still remembered his vow to protect Shen Huaichuan. Although he was afraid of the imperial edict, he still straightened his shoulders and said, "No, I promised to protect Senior Shen."

The emperor sneered, "You're protecting him? If I really wanted to, you'd both be dead."

Shen Huaichuan pulled the trembling Wan Nian to sit down beside him before saying to Di Zhao, "I know Fellow Daoist Di Zhao is angry, but Wan Nian has done nothing wrong, so why take your anger out on others?"

The emperor decreed: "If you were a true gentleman, you would not resort to such underhanded tricks behind people's backs."

"That day, when I gave Aci the Moon Goddess Flower, I wanted to express my feelings, but you and Wen Fuyue stopped me. Today, you are encouraging Aci to go out and train with you. What are your true intentions?"

Shen Huaichuan remained silent, only quietly "watching" the imperial edict until the emperor became enraged.

He then said, "According to Fellow Daoist Dizhao's wishes, he wants to take Xiaoci to the Demon Realm and then become lovers."

"Fellow Daoist Emperor's Decree, have you considered that this is not the life Xiao Ci desires?"

"Must a woman be submissive? Just because you are a divine phoenix, does that mean she is entitled to accept your love and be confined to your inner quarters?"

"Are you complacent because of the unique love you give?"

Is this the kind of woman you want?

The emperor roared in fury, "What do you know? I do not regard her as a plaything! I regard her as my companion!"

"I am willing to share everything with her. What does it mean to be confined to the inner quarters? As long as she wishes, I am willing to rule the world with her!"

"Can you give these to her?"

Even considering that Yun Yici might not live long, the Emperor had already decided that the two could enter into a contract to allow Yun Yici to share his lifespan.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Have you forgotten the ambush that Li Ji encountered? Even if it were Li Ji, with her strength and methods, she still couldn't convince anyone."

"Putting her in a position that doesn't belong to her will only harm her."

"The Emperor decreed that everything would go smoothly for you, so you pleaded for mercy with all your heart. Little did you know that the path to enlightenment is long and arduous, and that pursuing love alone will only lead to being smashed to pieces."

"If you truly love her, you shouldn't just think about keeping her by your side; everything she has depends on you."

"You should help her become a strong person who can rival you."

The emperor's face turned ashen with anger at Shen Huaichuan.

If Shen Huaichuan weren't a mortal without spiritual power, he would have already taken action.

Unfortunately, Shen Huaichuan was too fragile. If he had really killed the other party, his fate with Yun Yici would probably have ended there.

As the emperor was leaving, he coldly tossed out the words, "You just wait."

Wan Nian cautiously peeked out, looking at Shen Huaichuan, who remained unfazed by the imperial edict's threat: "Senior Shen, what should we do?"

The emperor decreed that a single fire could burn them all to death.

Shen Huaichuan tapped the table lightly and said slowly, "Don't rush. Go and tell Xiaoci that we should set off as soon as possible."

Shen Huaichuan's prediction was correct; without Yun Yici, the Nanhua Sect's appeal to the imperial edict was greatly reduced.

The emperor changed his mind and ordered Li Shao to go with Wen Fuyue to Nanhua Sect to retrieve the magical artifacts, while he himself went with Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici.

Ha, that man has a whole set of theories about cultivation. I'd like to see what kind of experience Shen Huaichuan can gain from his trials.

If anything seemed amiss, he would immediately urge Yun Yici to leave.

Upon hearing Di Zhao's plan, Wen Fuyue couldn't help but speak up to advise him: "Fellow Daoist Di Zhao, matters of love cannot be forced. Why are you so stubborn?"

The emperor raised an eyebrow and said, "In all things in the world, there are always one or two things that don't go as planned. Giving up without even trying is not my style."

"For me, there are no difficult things, only things that are worthwhile."

"I've always lived in the Demon Realm, and I don't understand many of the customs and habits of the human world. That's the only thing I'm lacking."

You should know that it is extremely difficult for the Feathered Clan to find a mate.

The male birds of the Feathered Clan are extremely beautiful, whether they have the form of beasts or humans. Ultimately, their appearance is all for the purpose of attracting mates.

So other things don't really matter.

Emperor Zhao still gritted his teeth in anger when he recalled Shen Huaichuan's words. If he hadn't been born in the Demon Realm, he would be just as good as anyone else. Stop lecturing him.

The emperor had calculated the timing and planned to have a chance encounter with Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan.

But when the time came, the room was empty.

"Shen Huaichuan!!"

On that day, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky above Yinxian City, with countless spirit birds gathering and circling above the city.

Then they scattered in an instant, and half an hour later, the spirit birds gathered again, lingered for a moment, and finally dispersed.
