Jade of Another World

After learning of Nangong Jin and Xuan Yuanche's rescue plan, Lin Wan actively participated in the support. Her familiarity with the area and the information she had gathered while entering and leaving the house provided crucial information for the rescue operation.

Lin Wan, leading Nangong Jin and elite guards, quietly circled around to the back of the house. There was a relatively weak spot there, an opening she had previously discovered. Under Lin Wan's guidance, the group carefully avoided the numerous patrolling guards and silently approached the house.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yuanche led another team to draw the enemy's attention from the front. They deliberately made some noise, causing the martial arts practitioners in the house to rush towards the front door.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Wan gestured to the guards behind her. The guards, nimble and agile, quickly scaled the wall and dispatched several of the guards' henchmen. Lin Wan followed closely behind, leading everyone safely into the house.

At this moment, Lin Ning and Prince Xiaoyu heard the commotion outside, their hearts filled with both tension and hope. Lin Ning said, "Your Highness, reinforcements may have arrived. We must ensure our own safety while taking this opportunity to escape." Prince Xiaoyu nodded, his eyes revealing determination.

Just as the two were about to act, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from all directions and surrounded them. "You think you can leave just because someone comes to rescue you?" the leader of the men in black sneered.

Just at this critical moment, Lin Wan arrived with her guards. "Sister, Your Highness, we've come to save you!" Lin Wan shouted, and the guards and the men in black were immediately terrified. A fight broke out instantly.

Although Lin Wan was a woman, she possessed medical skills and some self-defense techniques, which Lin Ning observed but found puzzling. At this moment, she showed no fear, wielding a long sword and fighting the men in black. The guards were well-trained and coordinated perfectly, leaving Lin Ning astonished.

Under Lin Wan and the others' fierce fighting, the men in black gradually became unable to hold out. At the same time, Nangong Jin and Xuan Yuanche broke in through the front door and joined them.

"Lin Ning!" Nangong Jin saw Lin Ning at a glance, and his worry instantly turned into joy. He rushed towards Lin Ning and shielded her behind him.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Lin Ning shouted. With everyone working together, they quickly subdued all the men in black.

"Thank you all for coming to my rescue!" Little Jade King said gratefully, bowing with his hands clasped.

Nangong Jin looked at the Little Jade King and nodded slightly: "Let's leave here first."

Everyone quickly evacuated the house, successfully escaping danger. Thanks to Lin Wan's cooperation, the rescue went very smoothly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After this ordeal, many of Xiao Yu Wang's thoughts subtly changed; he began to re-examine his relationship with Nangong Jin…

The group evacuated safely, their steps hurried, their only thought to get away from this dangerous place. Nangong Jin and Xuanyuan Che escorted Lin Ning and Little Jade King in the middle of the group, while Lin Wan followed beside Lin Ning, asking her about her injuries with concern.

As their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the street, two people slowly emerged from the once quiet corner. Leading them was the leader of the men in black, agile and with a ruthless glint in his eyes. Behind him followed an old man with white hair, dressed in a black robe, his face carrying a mysterious and sinister air.

The old man squinted, looking in the direction the crowd had left, and slowly asked, "Have they all left?" His voice was deep, as if it came from underground.

The man in black replied respectfully, "Yes."

The old man nodded slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on his face: "Yes, good, good, the best is yet to come." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling certainty.

A hint of doubt flashed in the man's eyes, but he dared not ask any further questions. The old man seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly said, "Nangong Jin will lose control once he returns to the court. The time has come, and we must pave the way for what's to come."

The man in black quickly replied, "Master is brilliant."

The old man sneered, "Keep a close eye on their movements. The situation in Dayu will soon fall into chaos again, and then it will be our time to reap the benefits."

The man in black acknowledged the order: "Yes, sir, I will arrange for people to carry it out immediately."

Having said that, the man in black swiftly departed to carry out the old man's orders. The old man, however, stood rooted to the spot, gazing at the sky, his eyes filled with ambition and cunning, as if the fate of the entire Great Yu Dynasty was already in his grasp…

Back in the Dayu Palace, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm. Nangong Jin sat on the dragon throne, his face grim, his eyes filled with anger and majesty. The Little Jade King knelt below, his expression remorseful, already prepared to accept punishment.

Lin Ning, Lin Wan, and Xuan Yuanche stood aside, their faces full of worry. Lin Ning spoke first, pleading, "Your Majesty, although Prince Xiaoyu was confused for a moment, he suffered a lot while trapped, and after this incident, he must have realized his mistake. We hope Your Majesty can be lenient and punish him lightly."

Lin Wan quickly chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty. During his imprisonment, Prince Xiaoyu looked after his sister and had no malicious intent. Moreover, the situation in Dayu is currently unstable, and the royal family needs to work together to deal with it."

Xuanyuan Che cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what the two Miss Lins said is very true. Little Jade King has already learned his lesson this time. If he can atone for his sins, it may be more beneficial to Dayu."

Nangong Jin looked at them and sighed, "Nangong Yu harbors rebellious intentions and plots to seize the throne. Such actions not only endanger the Great Yu dynasty but also put Lin Ning in danger, and she is still injured. How can I easily forgive her?" Prince Xiaoyu raised his head and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was blinded by ambition and committed such a treasonous act, causing much trouble for Great Yu and Your Majesty, and also causing Sister Lin to be injured. I am willing to accept punishment."

Nangong Jin looked at the young prince, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "Young prince, considering that you took good care of Lin Ning while you were imprisoned, and that you have now admitted your mistake, I will be lenient with you. From today onwards, you must stay at home for three months to reflect on your mistakes, and during this period you are not allowed to step out of the palace. If you show any disloyalty again, I will not let you off lightly!"

Little Jade King quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty. I will certainly not let you down again."

Lin Ning and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. A crisis had been temporarily averted...
