"Otherwise, donât blame me, sister."
"Remember this!"
"No, no, no... Sister, I wonât. I will surely devote myself to serving my husband and sisters in the future!"
Lan MengâEr panicked and quickly said.
The thought of competing in matters of jealousy, she wouldnât dare to do such a thing.
Being accepted had already made her unimaginably happy.
"Thatâs good, you donât have to be so nervous. There arenât many other rules in the mansion; youâll know them later."
The warning had been given, and Ning Xin was satisfied with her performance.
A smile once again appeared on her face.
After that, she led her to choose a room.
In the study.
Chen Xuan watched the scene unfold in his mind, the corners of his mouth curving slightly.
Women, he brought them back, showing his stance.
Of course, Ning Xin handled it well.
She had the demeanor of Wanqiu from the past.
To have such a wife was truly his fortune.
"Hehe!"
After a soft laugh, he started cultivating.
The spiritual power of the Great Yu imperial family yesterday was definitely not weaker than his, especially in terms of Spiritual Power, likely not weaker than his. If he hadnât been vigilant, that strand hiding by the edge of the window might have gone unnoticed.
"Itâs a pity that Lan MengâEr is just an ordinary woman."
Chen Xin felt a bit disappointed inside.
After all, whether in the Human Realm or Supreme Domain, except for the two women bound to the system, every other one brought him a unique artifact.
He could say that his current strength,
all the unique artifacts were indispensable to its formation.
"Never mind, I should be content!"
Chen Xuan shook his head. It wasnât always so coincidental that taking in a woman meant gaining a unique artifact.
...
In Lanting Inn.
Qin Ying reminisced about the absurdities of last night, inexplicably laughing.
If those imperial brothers found out, who knows how theyâd mock her.
As a woman, to even visit a brothel, it was truly a disgrace to the imperial familyâs dignity.
But she was rebellious!
Why shouldnât women go to brothels?
She insisted on going.
Though in female form, she never considered herself as a woman, always competing with those imperial brothers.
No matter what?
"But that person... was it really just a coincidence?"
Qin Ying muttered to herself.
The feeling of being watched last night, she wasnât mistaken.
This was due to her having a perfect gem placed inside her body by her father using divine techniques at birth.
No one could spy on her.
Besides, those with ill intentions towards her could trigger her vigilance.
Of course, the most important effect was allowing her cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds.
This made her a Late-Stage Profound Realm only 17 years old, able to suppress these results.
This was to solidify a firm foundation.
So she can surpass others in strength later in cultivation.
Just like Marquis Ning in the past!
Fighting several kings and remaining undefeated, had he not been stabbed eventually, who knows who would have won.
But these things didnât concern her.
What she cared about was the legacy left by Marquis Ning.
The Southern King and others promised that if the Ning Family could be found and Marquis Ningâs treasure opened, sheâd receive a twenty percent share.
She even consulted her father about this matter.
Although not explicitly stated, he did tell her that Marquis Ningâs items could indeed be useful to her.
Following that, she agreed with the Southern King and others, arriving at this remote rMolan Mansion.
"But... last night he indeed didnât show any odd behavior!"
Just a lustful person.
Her eyes reflexively revealed a hint of disgust.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just then, a slight yet rhythmic knock sounded.
"Your Highness, Changsun Tian requests an audience!"
Long Da, leader of the four protectors, spoke.
"Let him in!"
As she spoke, the door was gently opened, and Changsun Tian slowly walked over.
After bowing and respectfully saluting, he then said solemnly, "Your Highness, most family negotiations with rMolan Mansion have been settled, but some have refused."
"Hmm?"
Qin Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at him with some dissatisfaction, and asked, "Why?"
"It must be instructions from people behind them!"
Moreover, the families that refused were the most powerful ones in rMolan Mansion.
Although these families didnât explicitly say who was behind them, he speculated that it might be kings who had conflicts with the Southern King and others.
After all... the Southern Kingâs power is placed there.
"Understood!"
Qin Ying roughly guessed, not pursuing further.
The next moment, she ordered, "Then start the search, beginning within the city, checking one by one, not letting anyone escape."
"If nothing can be found, then begin searching all the counties under rMolan Mansion."
"I donât believe that the Ning Family can vanish into thin air without leaving a trace!"
But Changsun Tian hesitated after hearing her words.
"Speak up!"
Qin Ying frowned slightly.
She hated when people hesitated in front of her.
"Yes! Your Highness."
Changsun Tian quickly responded, "No problem with the counties below rMolan Mansion, but within the city, it seems impossible!"
"After all, the Three Judicial Departments have searched the whole city twice recently."
"Ordinary citizens in the city are already quite displeased."
"Reportedly, theyâre preparing to petition the Ritual Department."
"Your Highness, you know the nature of this group; theyâll dare criticize even Your Majesty. If public resentment is truly aroused, the situation will be difficult to manage!"
After finishing, Changsun Tian stood there respectfully, waiting for her decision.
"Send Spirit Cultivators!"
Qin Ying finally made her decision.
The Ritual Department was known for being the most upright existence in Great Yu, regardless of oneâs status or power.
