Because Princess Qian You was in a bad mood, her tone was a bit harsh. However, her words' even your father can't protect you 'were deeply engraved in Gu Lin's heart. Thinking back to the Rising Sun Sect's background, Gu Lin's heart turned cold.
Princess Qian You looked in a certain direction. That direction was where the Rising Sun Sect was. Thinking back to everything that had happened to Zhong Shan, Princess Qian You narrowed her eyes.
"Screech ~ ~ ~"
Under the bright moon, the cry of a crane suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a huge red-crowned crane suddenly flying over.
As the crane flew over, everyone frowned. There was a white-robed woman sitting on top of the crane. She seemed to be specifically looking for Princess Qian You and the others, and she quickly flew over to them.
Once the crane landed, the woman immediately dismounted and respectfully bowed to Princess Qian You.
"His Majesty has decreed for Princess Qian You to return as soon as possible," said the woman. She took out a golden imperial edict and handed it to Princess Qian You.
Princess Qian You took it and looked at it. Her eyes narrowed.
With a flip of her hand, she put away the imperial edict.
"Let's go back." Princess Qian You turned to everyone.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
The woman quickly got on the crane and led the way. Everyone followed closely behind.
Princess Qian You flew up. She still had a trace of anger on her face. Clearly, her anger towards Zhong Shan had yet to dissipate. She looked at the sandstorm formation again and didn't look back. She quickly headed southwest.
Once Princess Qian You left, Zhong Shan and the three women slowly walked out of a distant forest.
"Let's go. We need to get further away from them," said Zhong Shan.
"Yes." Ling'er and Sorrow Qingsi nodded.
Then, Zhong Shan carried Ying Lan in his arms and quickly left with the two girls. After walking for about four hours, the four of them stopped in a valley.
Inglan had already woken up, but she pretended not to, allowing Zhong Shan to continue carrying her.
"Are you going to get the second piece of evidence right away?" asked Zhong Shan.
"Yes. According to what uncle said, I have to go there as soon as possible. I can't delay any longer," said Sorrow Qingsi.
He said that he could not delay, but he still protected Zhong Shan for four hours.
"Then can I trouble you with something?" Zhong Shan said.
"Speak," Sorrowful Green Silk looked at Zhong Shan and said.
"Send Inglan to the Zhong Mansion in Xuancheng, Daegun Province." Zhong Shan stared at Sorrowful Green Silk.
Sorrowful Qing Si bit her lips. It was obvious that the second piece of evidence was very important. However, when he saw Zhong Shan's request, he nodded seriously.
"Inglan, you lead the way. Let's go home first." Zhong Shan immediately called out. Obviously, he knew that Inglan had already woken up.
"I don't want to. I want to go back with Young Master." Inglan knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she immediately woke up and said.
Frowning, Zhong Shan looked at Inglan and said, "No, I don't want to meet a second Immortal Miao. Let's go back first. I'll be back soon."
"But …" Inglan said reluctantly.
"You guys don't want to go together?" Sorrowful Green Silk asked. Obviously, it was no problem to bring two more people.
"No, Ling 'er and I still have something to do. Then I'll have to trouble you. "Zhong Shan said.
"Uh, okay." Sorrowful Green Silk nodded.
Although Inglan was unwilling, she could only compromise under Zhong Shan's pressure.
Looking at Inglan's pitiful expression, Zhong Shan shook his head and whispered to her, "I'll be back at most three days later."
After getting Zhong Shan's promise, Inglan's expression immediately became better and she nodded vigorously.
Then, she stepped on Sorrowful Green Silk's flying sword and said goodbye to Zhong Shan. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the clouds.
Seeing Inglan leave, Ling 'er suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she seemed to be reluctant to part with her.
At the same time, at the original location of the Eight Gate Mountain, a large number of cultivators were frantically running outside. This was because the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation had changed.
A large amount of sandstorm soared into the sky, causing the inside of the formation to become incomparably chaotic. Under the bright moon, Zhong Shan and Ling 'er could see the change in that location. Countless amounts of sand soared into the sky, forming a monstrous ball.
"Bang ~ ~ ~ ~"
It exploded. Even from a dozen mountains away, they could feel the violent sound. The sky became extremely chaotic and large amounts of rain poured down. The moon also seemed to be covered and the entire sky became gray.
"Zhong Shan, Tai Xuzi is dead?" Ling 'er looked into the distance and sighed.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded. This was because from the conversation between Tai Xuzi and Sorrowful Green Silk, Zhong Shan could tell that Tai Xuzi wanted to die.
"Alright, let them fight over the spirit stones over there. Let's quickly go get the Thunder Flower and then return to Xuan City's Zhong Residence." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, follow me." Ling 'er immediately led the way.
In less than a day, Sorrowful Green Silk brought Inglan to Xuan City's Zhong Residence.
Sorrowful Green Silk only glanced at Zhong Shan's residence in the mortal domain and quickly left on her flying sword, heading towards the location of the second piece of evidence.
Inglan, with a trace of unwillingness, headed towards the Zhong Residence.
"Young Miss, you're back." The housekeeper greeted her from afar.
"Yes." Inglan replied and entered the courtyard alone.
Although she had obtained the formation soul, granduncle did not return. What was there to be happy about?
"Inglan, give me that wooden box." A sudden voice came from the corner of the courtyard.
Hearing this voice, Inglan paused and shook her head, thinking that she was hallucinating. But she still turned her head and saw that it was granduncle. It really was granduncle. When did he return? Why did he return?
"Son-in-law!" Inglan excitedly ran towards Zhong Shan and hugged Zhong Shan's arm.
"Si si si si" Zhong Shan's mouth twitched.
Inglan turned her head and saw that there was a hole on Zhong Shan's shoulder.
"Granduncle, you're injured? How did this happen? "Inglan exclaimed.
"It's nothing. It's just a superficial wound. I'll enter a secret room to cultivate for a period of time. Don't let anyone disturb me." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes." Inglan nodded.
"Give me the wooden box first." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes." Inglan immediately took the wooden box from her back and handed it to Zhong Shan.
Inside the wooden box was the Nine Colored Dragon Silkworm they had obtained from Immortal Miao's residence.
Looking at the wooden box, Zhong Shan smiled.
"No one is allowed to disturb me while I'm in seclusion. Help me keep an eye on it." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes." Inglan immediately nodded. Although she was a bit worried, it was good that granduncle had returned.
Zhong Shan quickly entered the inner courtyard and entered a secret room to recuperate.
In the secret chamber, Zhong Shan sat cross-legged as he circulated his inner energy to heal his injuries. The [Lunar Scripture] was circulating rapidly. The reason he was able to return was because of Ying Lan. His body turned into a shadow and blended into Ying Lan's robes.
Although he was invisible, he could still be injured. Jian Ao's sword had truly pierced through his shoulder. However, as long as he recuperated for a period of time, he would be completely fine.
When they entered the inner courtyard, a steward suddenly ran over.
"Miss, was that master just now?" asked the steward anxiously.
"Yes. Granduncle has said that no one is allowed to disturb his rest. "Inglan immediately said.
"What should we do?" asked the steward anxiously.
"What's going on?" asked Inglan immediately.
"We received a secret report that the Daegun Province's imperial family has been gathering an army recently. It's very likely that they're targeting the Zhong residence."
"An army is coming?" Inglan frowned.
"Yes. Although I don't really believe it, there are some signs that point to it. The Emperor is going to use an army against us. I've been keeping the news a secret," said the steward anxiously.
Inglan frowned. Thinking about the fate of the four patriarchs and their ancestors, Inglan could also guess the imperial family's attitude. They were already afraid of the Zhong residence and wanted to uproot it. They were even willing to use an army. "Well done.
"Mm, you've done well. However, Granduncle is in seclusion and no one is allowed to disturb him. Go and collect more information. Once there's a new development, report it to me immediately. Also, give me a list of the forces that the Zhong Residence can mobilize, which is what you know. Send it to me as soon as possible." Ying Lan immediately gave out orders. After many years of leading troops, Inglan had long since developed a calm temperament.
"Yes." The steward immediately nodded.
The steward knew that other than master, this young miss had the most authority in the Zhong residence. Even most of master's adopted sons didn't have as much authority as her.
