This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

With the princess's command, the carriage set off again, and Xiao Xingchen and Daji were able to hitch a ride. Although the carriage was intended for transporting goods, the two were quite content.

"The woman in the carriage was a sword immortal,"

After getting into the carriage, Daji suddenly blurted out a sentence, which startled Xiao Xingchen. He then understood; it wasn't surprising that the Ghost King, known throughout the world, was a sword immortal.

"You're not surprised at all?"

"Surprised? Nothing surprising. There are countless talented people in the world. A mere sword immortal is not worth my surprise."

“You’re right. I’m just curious, who could have taught such a young sword immortal? This woman isn’t a beginner in the Ninth Heaven; she should already be at the peak of the Second Heaven, with one foot already in the Third Heaven. At such an age and with such strength, there must be an old monster standing behind her.”

Daji seemed intrigued and looked curiously out the carriage window.

Seeing this, Xiao Xingchen felt it necessary to explain things to her.

"The woman in the carriage is the eldest princess of the Great Qian Dynasty, named Huangfu Lingxue, and the young man is named Huangfu Lingfeng, the current sixth prince and her younger brother. These two were driven out of Yong'an City when they were young, and they probably won't have peace this time they return to the capital. If we get into their carriage, we'll probably be watched too."

"Oh? You actually recognize the Princess and the princes, you're not simple either?" Daji smiled mysteriously.

"As the eldest son of the Xiao family, I was summoned to the capital by imperial decree; I have some knowledge of this."

"Yes, that's true. How could the successor of the Swift Sword Immortal be simple?"

Daji's words were loaded with meaning. Xiao Xingchen knew she might know a lot about Xiao Jianxian, but she hadn't said anything, so he didn't ask.

"I hope we can get to Yong'an City quietly."

A shadow fell over Xiao Xingchen's heart. She felt that meeting the Eldest Princess was more of a curse than a blessing. If she were to be content to be a carefree princess when a sword immortal of the second level of cultivation returned to the capital, she would be making a grave mistake.

Daji patted his hand gently and gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, if you work hard and enter the realm of sword immortals as soon as possible, you won't be afraid of being bullied then."

"Why should I be the one to put in the effort? We're on the same team now, can't you do something too?"

Xiao Xingchen gets upset when this comes up. You're not my woman, so why do you always order me around?

"I want to, but right now I'm mute, someone who can't even speak. What do you expect me to do? As for the strength you saw me with back then, it won't work here. I have my own difficulties, and that's something I have to tell you. Don't think that I can help you after you cause trouble. Here, I'm just an ordinary woman, the kind who can't even kill a chicken, understand?"

"Someone once said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie," Xiao Xingchen inexplicably thought of Zhang Wuji's mother.

"Tell me who this person is, and I'll go and kill her."

Daji raised her fist in a show of defiance.

"Forget it, you can't beat her. She has a good husband, and her husband has a divine master who is invincible. You are no match for him."

"Hehe, I'm no match for him? Tell me who he is, and I'll teach him a lesson when I see him. He actually dared to say I was lying; I gave him too much face."

"Grandma, lady, lady, no one was saying anything nice to you, you've just gotten yourself into this mess."

"No, tell him his name! He actually claims to be the best in the world! This is unacceptable!"

"Zhang Sanfeng, when you see him, go ahead and beat him up."

Xiao Xingchen was helpless. He really couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking. Why did Daji seem to care so much about the title of the best in the world?

But thinking about Zhang Sanfeng, and since they were unlikely to run into him anyway, they casually mentioned him.

"The one who goes crazy three times a day?"

Xiao Xingchen almost fell off the carriage upon hearing this. It was truly an unintentional remark, but why did he feel that Daji knew about Brother Sanfeng?

"You...you know?" he stammered, feeling as if the sky had fallen again.

Daji thought about it carefully, then remained silent for a moment.

"You know what, that guy who goes crazy three times a day is quite something. Even at my peak, I was only about equal to him. He's a strange guy; the crazier he gets, the more powerful he becomes. If it's him, I'll just avoid his sharp edge for now. After all, a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken."

"Wait a minute, do you really know Zhang Sanfeng?" Xiao Xingchen couldn't hear anything else. He just wanted to confirm one thing: could Master Zhang have also traveled through time?

"So his name is Zhang Sanfeng. I did meet him once before, but we were all getting beaten up back then, so I didn't ask any questions."

After saying this, Daji fell silent and continued to look out the window, as if something had stirred up her memories.

Xiao Xingchen was cursing so much that he didn't know who to curse next. Good heavens, even the Three Mad Taoists have arrived. What on earth is going on?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. There were eight time travelers ahead of me, could Sanfeng be one of them?

He couldn't help but make this guess, after all, anyone who could take a beating alongside Daji was no ordinary person.

He had his own guesses about Daji, but he didn't ask. Those nine tails reminded him of a creature—a nine-tailed fox.

With the clues of Daji and the nine-tailed fox, if he still can't figure out Daji's identity, then he's wasted his life.

She is a demon, a nine-tailed fox.

Both of them had many secrets, but they tacitly refrained from asking them aloud.

The caravan soon arrived outside Yong'an City. The bustling and noisy sounds temporarily dispelled the gloom in her heart. It was clear that Daji was very happy, constantly pointing and gesturing outside the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage came to an abrupt stop, completely halting on the spot.

"Why did we stop? Weren't we going into the city?" Daji asked疑惑地.

"Let's get out of the car and take a look."

Xiao Xingchen knew that following the Eldest Princess would not be so smooth. What would the princes and nobles of Yong'an City think of the Empress's legitimate son who had gone far away returning to the capital?

There is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children; the word "legitimate" can override everything. The current crown prince probably can't even sleep peacefully. It would be a miracle if things went smoothly for him.

They jumped off the carriage with Daji, and sure enough, a large crowd had already gathered at the gates of Yong'an City. The gate towers were on high alert, with all the guards gripping their swords at their waists, ready to charge at a moment's notice.

Xiao Xingchen looked at the carriage in the middle. The Eldest Princess still hadn't appeared. The Sixth Prince stood at the very front on horseback, facing the city tower from afar.

As for the onlookers, there were so many that the place was completely packed.

This was a show of force, something Xiao Xingchen had anticipated. The question was how he would deliver it.

She led Daji silently to the princess's carriage, found a secluded spot, and began to quietly eat melon seeds. It would have been even better if she had some melon seeds in her hand at this moment.

"Who goes there? Halt!"

Xiao Xingchen clicked his tongue in amazement. This gatekeeper general was truly fearless, daring to block the Ghost King. At most three years, no, at most six months, this city-guarding general would probably be replaced.

Huangfu Lingfeng didn't fly into a rage as expected. Instead, he watched everything quietly without saying a word, waiting to see how his opponent would react.

This made Xiao Xingchen nod, and he couldn't help but think more highly of him, recognizing his calm and collected demeanor.
