The matter of the seal was a long story and involved many people.
Long Fei Ye had been forced to remove the seal in the abyss of the Medicine Requesting Cave. Although he had saved Gu Beiyue, he had suffered internal injuries. He had only just recovered a few days ago.
Han Yunxi knew nothing about this matter. As for whether Gu Beiyue had noticed, she wasn't sure. However, Gu Beiyue was a smart person. Even if he had noticed, he might not have asked.
The seal on Long Fei Ye's body was called the Love Devouring Seal. It had been placed on him two years after he had become Kenzō's disciple.
Tianshan Kenzō had countless sword techniques, but only one set of internal strength techniques. It was called the Nirvana Mantra. Anyone who practiced the Tianshan sword techniques had to practice the Nirvana Mantra. Anyone who practiced the Nirvana Mantra had to accept a seal to permanently seal away the negative Qi in their body.
When Long Fei Ye had first joined the sect, Kenzō had placed a seal on him to seal away the negative Qi in his body. Then, he had begun to teach him how to cultivate internal strength.
Long Fei Ye was extremely talented and diligent. In just one year, he had completed fifty percent of his internal strength, setting a new record in Tianshan Kenzō. However, one day, when he was learning sword techniques from Kenzō, the seal on his body was suddenly broken. The internal strength he had cultivated for a year leaked out and disappeared.
Kenzō was shocked and continued to place a seal on Long Fei Ye. Unfortunately, the seal was still broken a year later. Long Fei Ye had wasted another year of his cultivation.
Kenzō didn't understand why either. All he knew was that Long Fei Ye wasn't suited to practice the Nirvana Mantra.
Once he couldn't practice the Nirvana Mantra, he was destined to be unable to practice sword techniques. In other words, Long Fei Ye had no reason to stay in Tianshan Kenzō.
It wasn't easy for her to become Kenzō's disciple. Moreover, it was a closed-door disciple. How could Tang Yiwan miss this opportunity? She secretly hoped that her son would one day become the successor of Tianshan Kenzō and take control of Wulin!
Tang Yiwan told Elder Kenzō about Long Fei Ye's past and took out the East Qin Imperial Family's Love Devouring Seal, which had never been used before. She begged Elder Kenzō to use it to seal Long Fei Ye.
The Lustbite Seal was the most precious treasure of the East Qin Imperial Family. Only those with limitless internal strength could activate it. Anyone who was sealed by this seal would be able to gather qi into strength. Outside of the body's true qi, all the unrighteous qi would form a powerful force called the Lustbite Force!
The Lustbite Power was an evil power. If one couldn't control it, one would suffer from Qi Deviation. No one knew if it was serious.
However, this power would always be sealed under the Lustbite Seal. Unless the seal was removed, it would be impossible to use it.
When Elder Kenzō placed the seal on Long Fei Ye's body, he had spent a lot of effort to give him three chances to remove the seal on his own. Moreover, these chances were temporary.
A price had to be paid to remove the seal, and each time the price was greater than the last.
That time at Medicine Requesting Cave was Long Fei Ye's first time removing the seal on his own. It had to be said that the price had been steep.
Removing the seal required the person who'd placed it.
In this world, only Elder Kenzō could undo Long Fei Ye's Love Devouring Seal. Kenzō had once said that Long Fei Ye would never remove the seal unless he could fully control the Lustbite Force.
The Lustbite Seal had a taboo rule: its user had to be a virgin. Otherwise, the seal would self-destruct and the Lustbite Force would vanish within three days.
After being injured by Cang Qiuzi last time, Long Fei Ye's internal energy had not only recovered, but improved with each passing day. He was confident that he could control the Lustbite Force.
His trip to Celestial Mountain this time wasn't just to fulfill his promise to Han Yunxi.
According to his plans, he was supposed to head to Celestial Mountain after stabilizing the western regions. This year, Elder Kenzō had gone into closed door cultivation frequently while Cang Qiuzi had turned Tianshan Kenzō into a foul atmosphere. Moreover, he'd sent people to investigate Elder Kenzō's daily life multiple times, as if he suspected something.
It was time for Long Fei Ye to get involved in Celestial Mountain's internal affairs. He needed the Lustbite Force to deal with Cang Qiuzi and his accomplices!
How was he supposed to explain this to Han Yunxi? How much could he explain?
Long Fei Ye was still hesitating when the driver called from outside. "Your Highness, esteemed wangfei, please go upstairs for dinner."
The driver was a dutiful servant, but he was worried about his masters' stomachs. If this dragged on any longer, they might as well eat dinner instead.
"Let's get off the carriage."
Long Fei Ye stopped hesitating. One day, he'd take this woman to pay respects to imperial father and mufei. Then he'd tell her everything about East Qin, including the past she'd never been a part of.
While other couples quarreled at the head of the bed and made up at the end, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi quarreled and made up in the carriage.
When Han Yunxi saw the delicious vinegar cabbage on the table upstairs, she almost laughed out loud. Long Fei Ye, on the other hand, was very calm. He gave the driver a Cold glance without a word.
The driver had no idea where he'd gone wrong, so he didn't dare to ask His Highness Duke of Qin. Instead, he cautiously asked Han Yunxi, "Esteemed wangfei, shall we begin to order?"
Han Yunxi said, "No need. Just bring the rice and a pot of tea."
The driver was even more puzzled. He snuck a glance at His Highness Duke of Qin and saw that he didn't have any objections, so he did as he was told.
Just like that, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye ended up in the most expensive private room of the most expensive restaurant in the county. They ate a meal of white rice paired with vinegar stewed cabbage. The driver uncle who couldn't figure it out peeked in from outside the door and saw that His Highness Duke of Qin didn't move his chopsticks much. It seemed like he didn't like sour food, but esteemed wangfei kept forcing him to eat. Multiple times, she put food in his mouth, but he still obediently ate.
It had to be said that the driver almost didn't recognize His Highness Duke of Qin after seeing this scene.
Who would've thought that Cloud Realm Continent's coldest monarch would dote on his wife so much? He was completely at her mercy!
A meal of vinegar cabbage made Han Yunxi forget all her unhappiness. On the way back to Yaoshui, she slept peacefully in Long Fei Ye's arms while cultivating the second level of the poison storage space.
A few days later, they arrived at a side courtyard in Yaoshui and were surprised to see Duanmu Yao sitting by herself on the front steps. She seemed to be waiting for them to come back.
How did she find this place? What was she doing here?
Duanmu Yao was dressed in a spotless white muslin gown with a bright red waistcoat. Her entire person emanated an indescribable air of immortality. She sat there hugging her knees, looking both lovely and pitiful. Anyone who saw her would stop to take a second look.
Long Fei Ye glanced at her with a hint of impatience in his eyes. Han Yunxi's face turned black as she glared at Long Fei Ye. "She knows about this side courtyard too?"
Long Fei Ye's side courtyards were spread all over the world, but not everyone knew about them.
"Someone must have leaked the information. Have Chu Xifeng look into it later," Long Fei Ye said.
Now Han Yunxi grew serious. "Could it be … there's a spy?"
Who could have known about the side courtyard in Yaoshui and leaked the information to Duanmu Yao?
"Go to the northern suburbs. Send someone to pick up Gu Beiyue," Long Fei Ye said.
Long Fei Ye had another estate in the northern suburbs, so Han Yunxi decided to have Duanmu Yao wait here.
The driver was about to turn around when someone suddenly shouted from behind. "Han Yunxi, Han Yunxi, are you in the carriage?"
"Old uncle, esteemed wangfei is in the carriage, right?"
This voice … it's so familiar!
Han Yunxi didn't even need to look to know that it was Mu Linger. Truly, an awn had fallen into the eye of a needle — what a coincidence!
That damned girl couldn't have arrived earlier or later, but now of all times. If Han Yunxi remembered correctly, this wasn't the first time Mu Ling 'er had ruined her plans.
If Mu Ling 'er wasn't Han Yunxi's cousin, what would have happened to her? Suspense …
Han Yunxi peeked through the window and saw that Duanmu Yao had already stood up and was walking over.
Mu Ling 'er was riding a horse alone and had just arrived. When she saw Long Fei Ye's carriage, her attention was completely focused on it, so she hadn't noticed Duanmu Yao standing at the gate.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. The driver smiled and said, "Miss Ling 'er, his highness and esteemed wangfei aren't in the carriage. They haven't come back yet."
"Then Gu …" Mu Ling 'er almost blurted out the name "Gu", but she stopped herself in time. "Then what about Gu Beiyue? Is he here? "
Without waiting for the driver to reply, she asked, "Also, is old man Pill Fiend here?"
The driver was anxious to help his master get rid of the trouble, so he nodded. "They're all here, they're all here. Quickly go in. This old servant still has matters to attend to, so I'm in a hurry to leave. "
Mu Ling 'er was in a hurry to find the Qi Brother she'd been thinking about day and night, but when she turned around, she was shocked to see Duanmu Yao standing there.
Duanmu Yao's figure flashed to the front of the carriage. She smiled. "Uncle Gao, are you going to pick up my senior brother?"
"Miss Duanmu, what are you doing here?"
Uncle Gao was the first to see Duanmu Yao, but he feigned shock. He'd served His Highness Duke of Qin for many years and had traveled extensively with him. Naturally, he understood this junior sister of his well.
"I have an urgent matter to discuss with my senior brother. If you're going to pick him up, I'll go with you." Duanmu Yao prepared to board the carriage.
Uncle Gao hurriedly stopped her. "No, no! His Highness and esteemed wangfei are out and not in Yaoshui. This old servant is in a hurry to … to see a vet. These four horses are all sick. "
Mu Ling 'er was gullible, but Duanmu Yao wasn't. She looked at the four horses and couldn't see anything wrong with them. She was determined to believe that Uncle Gao was going to pick up Duanmu Yao.
If her senior brother hadn't needed the carriage, Uncle Gao wouldn't have casually taken it out. After all, this carriage was her senior brother's favorite and he'd never let anyone touch it.
Even she, who'd been his junior sister for so many years, had taken many carriages with him. She'd also taken many of the Duke of Qin's private carriages, but she'd never taken this one.
In truth, she didn't have to make things difficult for Uncle Gao. She could've just followed him in secret and found her senior brother. But she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
She wanted to sit in this carriage, lean against the high pillow he always leaned on, taste the black tea he drank every day, and feel his scent.
It had been far too long since she'd seen him. She missed his appearance and his voice so much that she was about to go crazy.
"Where's the vet?" Duanmu Yao asked seriously.
"In … the south of the city," Uncle Gao replied offhandedly.
"I happen to be heading south as well. Give me a ride."
Duanmu Yao wanted to board the carriage again. The driver tried to stop her, but Duanmu Yao discreetly pushed his hand away. Mu Ling 'er wanted to stop her as well, but Duanmu Yao suddenly jumped into the carriage and lifted the curtains.
She was stunned. Because inside the carriage …
