Hua Qiyue and her maidservants waited in silence. The three maidservants were timid, and trembled with fear in the boundless silence.

When midnight came, nothing happened.

Moonlight was still beautiful.

The chirps of birds and insects continued.

Hua Qiyue sat up and looked out of the window. Outside, a gust of wind blew the trees, made them rustle and sway. The night looked strange.

But for someone at peace, the scene looked normal and beautiful.

Time ticked by.

Nothing happened.

Hua Qiyue knitted her brows. She turned sleepy, so she consoled the three maidservants and asked them to sleep. Then she entered the Mysterious World to practice. Tianpi was surprised to hear that she had arrived at the Green Mountain Temple, but asked no questions.

Hua Qiyue practiced for four hours. When she came out, the sky was turning bright in the east, and the three servant girls were still safe and sound in the room. Nothing seemed to have happened that night.

Then Hua Qiyue slept for two hours. When she woke up, Lv Xin rushed to get her water for washing face, while Youshui brought her breakfast.

After breakfast, Hua Qiyue went to see Abbess Yi Zhen. Abbess Yi Zhen told her that nothing special happened last night.

Yi Nian and the other three nuns did not find anything special either.

Hua Qiyue became depressed.

She was here not only for Hua Mengshi, but also for the mystery man. It was disappointing, however, that she had not found any trace of them.

To make matters worse, Hua Qiyue still found nothing for the next two nights. The maidservants were frightened, but after three quiet nights, they began to relax.

"Yun Shimo said he’d be a day late. Does he come in a carriage without any means of shortening the time?" Hua Qiyue wondered.

But she didn’t care. She thought it was good if Yun Shimo didn’t come here, because that way, she could have more freedom. Yet she somehow longed to see him...

As Hua Qiyue was getting ready to take a bath in the evening, she suddenly heard Bingqing crying outside. "Oh my God, someone is coming. There are two carriages! It’s... It’s Princess Huiling and Princess Mingzhu! And lots of guards!"

Lv Xin and Youshui looked out, and sure enough, Princess Huiling and Princess Mingzhu got out of the carriage together. They were supported by two maidservants, both with waxy faces. It should have taken them days to get here. The two delicate girls must have suffered a lot along the way.

Hua Qiyue calmly went out and really saw Princess Huiling coming to her with a murderous look in her eyes.

Princess Mingzhu, on the other hand, was quiet. Hua Qiyue didn’t expect her coming. There was no argument between her and Princess Mingzhu, but now Princess Mingzhu was on Princess Huiling’s side...

"I’m gonna kill you today! Hua Qiyue! You ruined my brother and queen mother, and now you run and hide here! Somebody, get this bitch!"

Princess Huiling went crazy at the sight of Hua Qiyue. Now the queen had been beheaded and the Liu’s family had been exterminated. Although Princess Huiling had not been relegated to the common people, her status in the imperial palace had declined dramatically, which was not comparable with the past.

Princess Huiling’s hatred of Hua Qiyue was certainly very strong. Although the Emperor no longer valued her, she still had many guards. In a fit of anger, she led the guards out of the imperial palace to find Hua Qiyue to revenge.

Changlong Emperor did not stop her, for he knew that his conceited daughter could not grow up without suffering.

For some reason, Princess Mingzhu came with Princess Huiling and made Princess Huiling even more aggressive. Unfortunately, she had been foolishly thinking that Prince Nan was credited with crashing that array.

Therefore, Princess Huiling believed that her guards, who were Qi Artists of Dragon Diagram, were sure to kill Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue watched coldly as the guards rushed towards her. When they got close to her, she swung her wide sleeves to them. At once, the five guards were flung away with a bang into a tall tree not far away.

For a moment, the screams rang out. Hua Qiyue intimidated Princess Mingzhu’s guards from approaching her with only one move.

One of the guards was an informer of the Emperor, who had received a secret message from Changlong Emperor that Hua Qiyue would not kill Princess Huiling, so no matter what Hua Qiyue did to her, they should not interfere too much.

Of course they knew that the cunning Emperor wanted Hua Qiyue to teach his useless daughter a lesson.

"If only a few guards could kill me, I wouldn’t have to live," Hua Qiyue stated coldly.

Princess Huiling trembled with rage and burst into tears. "You bitch! Because of you, First Prince was relegated to civilian and expelled from the capital! You... You bitch. If I don’t kill you, my anger won’t subside!" She snapped.

"Somebody, kill this bitch at once!" Princess Huiling cried loudly.

The guards, however, walked aside and didn’t listen to her anymore.

Princess Huiling almost fainted with anger as she saw the unexpected situation.

"Amitabha! Miss, a wrongdoer achieves salvation as soon as he gives up evil. Forget about all your enmity, and you’ll find that there are more interesting things in the world that deserve your attention..."

A light voice slowly sounded, with a kind of calming magic, instantly making Princess Huiling feel calm in the heart.

She gawked at Abbess Yi Zhen coming out of the temple. The woman was drop-dead gorgeous. It was a pity that she was like a pool of cold water, without waves or ripples, and could not be more indifferent to worldly things.

Abbess Yi Zhen seemed to have Buddha’s light on her body. Her appearance calmed down the irascible princess.

Princess Huiling was startled. She could not help but step back and looked at Abbess Yi Zhen in shock.

"You... Who the hell are you? You made me..." The woman had made her feel so frightened that she stopped screaming.

Abbess Yi Zhen looked at her blankly, "I am a person who keeps away from the common world, and my name is Yi Zhen. Now that you are here, you’re our guest, Miss. Come and sit in the humble temple."

Her words were also so magical that Princess Huiling actually walked towards the temple step by step, which shocked the guards. They did not expect this nun had such a big magic.

Princess Mingzhu followed Princess Huiling into the temple, and Hua Qiyue stood aside, secretly amazed at Yi Zhen’s ability.

In the past few days she looked like an ordinary nun, with nothing special.

But she showed her strength today. Anyway, a woman living here with four orphans must have great courage and strength to survive.

After all, there should be a lot of wolves around here, so it was not easy to survive here.

Princess Huiling’s arrival made the temple seem a little cramped, because it couldn’t hold so many people at all. Finally, some of the guards had to spend the night outside.

However, after listening to Abbess Yi Zhen’s enlightenment and some sacred scriptures of the Buddhists, Princess Huiling gradually turned level-headed. Although there was still resentment in her eyes when she saw Hua Qiyue, it was no longer so strong.

"Princess Huiling tried to kill our First Miss with some men. What a joke!" Lv Xin kept sneering around the room. These maidservants knew how powerful Hua Qiyue was. A few hundred more such guards would not have daunted Hua Qiyue.

"Yes, they are short-sighted and conceited! As a princess, she is not as decent as our First Miss! Humph!" Youshui grumbled.

Bingqing remained silent, not participating in their criticism of Princess Huiling.

The remaining room was now occupied by Princess Huiling and Princess Mingzhu, together with two little maidservants, and their guards spend the night outside.

It was another quiet night. Since Yun Shimo still hadn’t arrived, Hua Qiyue was a little worried, wondering if he had been delayed by something.

...

At this moment, in the waters of the Changjing Kingdom, a disheveled man sat in a boat through the waves.

He was Liu Shaoming.

Before the Liu’s family was about to be exterminated, Liu Mo tried his best to send him out secretly. As the head of the family, he had long thought of sending his only son out of the Changjing Kingdom if their plan to kill Hua Qiyue and take the throne failed.

Otherwise, his son would be definitely killed by the royal family.

With wounds all over his body, Liu Shaoming gasped and glared at the shore farther and farther away.

"Changjing! I’ll be back! Hua Qiyue... You wait! One day I will avenge my family’s extermination by cutting you to pieces!"

Of course he had heard that Hua Qiyue and Prince Nan had destroyed the array to extinguish the evil. Otherwise, the Liu’s family would never have been exterminated because his family had enough Qi Artists to suppress the Emperor’s people.

Now Liu Shaoming had turned all his hate on Hua Qiyue. The ferocious look in his eyes even alarmed the servants beside him.

He sadly remembered Hua Qiyue’s pretty face with mixed feelings. He had a crush on the woman at first, but he didn’t expect the tragedy to happen so quickly.

He and she would be irreconcilable enemies in this life!

The ship headed for the Yuewu Kingdom. It was getting dark, and the coastline of Changjing was no longer visible...

...

That night, Hua Qiyue stayed awake until midnight, but still nothing happened. "There are more people in the temple now. If there is an evil beast, it should be keeping secretly ready for the right time," she guessed.

It was another calm night. At daybreak, Hua Qiyue was surprised to see Huangfu Xuan, Yun Shimo, and Bingyi hurrying towards the temple.

When Princess Mingzhu came out of the temple and saw Yun Shimo, her eyes lit up and she blushed a little.

Although Yun Shimo had clearly indicated that Hua Qiyue was his fiancee, Princess Mingzhu’s feelings for him didn’t change. She came here because she knew Yun Shimo was coming.

Seeing Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo explained softly, "Something happened at home, so I was late."

Hua Qiyue fingered the green jade gourd and gave a mild snort. She wouldn’t have asked Yun Shimo to come over if the Old Madame hadn’t asked.

Bingyi twitched his mouth. Although his impression of Hua Qiyue had improved and he had taken the medicine pellets made from the magic herb given by her, he still felt uncomfortable to see her contemptuous attitude towards Yun Shimo.

"Have you found Hua Mengshi?" Yun Shimo looked around and was surprised to see Princess Mingzhu and Princess Huiling. He gave a small frown inconspicuously.

"No, but there’s some trouble that you attracted," Hua Qiyue responded indifferently. Of course she read Princess Mingzhu’s mind.

Yun Shimo gave a smile. In the morning light, he looked like a fairy descending into the world, causing Princess Mingzhu’s heart to skip a beat and her face to turn red and even Princess Huiling to be attracted by him.

"Are you jealous?" Asked Yun Shimo in a gentle tone. His sexy voice made all the girls present feel that they were going weak.

Hua Qiyue gave a cold snort and turned back to her wing room.

"We will stay a few days, since we cannot find any trace of it. I have to take time to practice now. Not a moment to lose," she thought.

Just as Hua Qiyue walked into the room, Yun Shimo held the door she wanted to close. "Can’t I come in?" He asked.

"No!" Hua Qiyue shouted, a little furious.

The look in Yun Shimo’s eyes suddenly became deep, and he abruptly pushed the door with his spiritual energy. Hua Qiyue was no match for him. Even though she tried her best, the door was slowly pushed open by Yun Shimo, and a pleasant smell of medicine came for her.
