After leaving the dungeon, Yun Jiuge went to Qing’er’s room.

Her room was next to the Golden Dragon Hall. Everything was built with white jade and Spiritual Wood, and there was a fine Spiritual Vein buried underneath which was of great benefit to Ling Clan’s Cultivation.

“Your Highness.” Qing’er was lying on the white jade ice bed, covered with Icy Vigor silk blanket. Seeing Yun Jiuge enter, she propped herself up, wanting to get up and bow in greeting.

“You’ve not recovered from your injury yet. Quickly lie down!” Yun Jiuge gently eased Qing’er back to bed.

“Your Highness, it’s all my fault for being useless and unable to stop the two assassins,” Qing’er said, looking ashamed.

She was known for her poor qualifications in the Ling Clan. It was all thanks to the Goddess for letting her take care of the little prince. But she was unable to even stop an assassin. She was really useless to the extreme.

“What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn’t sounded the warning in time, Wan Sha wouldn’t have caught the two assassins.” Yun Jiuge placed a round embroidered pillow behind Qing’er, and then carefully examined her injuries.

Although Wan Shan had already given her the best Spiritual Medicine in the Celestial Palace, the wound in her abdomen was still seeping blood. One could imagine how serious her injury was.

“Your Highness, stop comforting me. If my older sister were here, she would’ve been able to take down those two assassins,” said Qing’er as she thought of her sister, Ling’er. Her delicate and pretty face could not help but show a sad expression.

Her older sister was the best Spiritual Practitioner of the Ling Clan in a few thousand years, and also the most undisputed clan leader.

However, she committed suicide in a way that the Ling Clan hated the most, causing the Yue family’s reputation to plummet.

She now only hoped to build up her family’s reputation again.

“You’re you, and she’s her. Don’t always compare yourself to her. Just do your own thing and it’ll be fine.” Yun Jiuge knew that this was easier said than done for a lot of things, so she changed the subject and asked, “Did Long’er come to see you?”

“Yes, the little prince gave this to me.” Yue Qing’er gazed tenderly at the piece of rose quartz at the bedside.

She had taken care of Little Dragon for so long, so she was well aware of his treasure-loving and stingy character. It was indeed rare for him to give away such a piece of rose quartz.

“Rest well. Long’er still needs you to take care of him. Keep these two Spiritual Fruits well. You can eat them once you’ve recovered!” Yun Jiuge took out two ripe Seven Star Fruits and placed them next to the rose quartz. This type of Spiritual Fruit was also exceptionally good for the Ling Clan people.

“Thank you for bestowing the gift to me, Your Highness. I’ll try hard to heal from my wounds.” Yue Qing’er also wanted to quickly return to the Golden Dragon Hall.

“Qing’er, did your older sister meet with Fan Yin after she returned to the Ling Clan?” Yun Jiuge asked.

“Fan Yin? I’m not sure, but my older sister seemed to have used a Universal Mirror to check on the situation in the primitive plane of existence,” Yue Qing’er replied.

“Can you think carefully about what your older sister was checking on in the primitive plane of existence? Is there anything related to Fan Yin?” Yun Jiuge questioned.

“My older sister checked on the Shiwan Grand Mountain in the primitive plane of existence. As far as Fan Ying was concerned...” Yue Qing’er racked her brains and finally remembered something. She said, “That Universal Mirror which my sister used was sent by Fan Yin.”

A Universal Mirror in the Canglan Continent was not considered a valuable object. However, she recalled that her older sister once received something which came from the primitive plane of existence, and inside it was an incomparably simple and crude Universal Mirror. That was why it left an impression on her.

“So, it turns out that Yue Ling’er’s death really had something to do with him.” Yun Jiuge felt unbearable inside from losing her mind. She already thought it odd at the time when Yue Ling’er said that Li Wei incited her to commit suicide.

Yue Ling’er was not the cowardly type and her relationship with Li Wei was so-so. How could she choose to commit suicide just because of his words?

It was different if it were Fan Yin instead. This guy always had a glib tongue and was adept at convincing others. Even she herself would seek his advice whenever she encountered difficulties.

If Fan Yin first planted the seed in Yue Ling’er’s mind, then the moment Li Wei came along to add fuel to the fire, it would have been easy for her to burn to ashes.

“Your Highness, who did you say is connected to my older sister’s death? Is it Fan Yin?” Yue Qing’er suddenly sat up from the bed.

“You’ve misheard. I was saying that it’s a shame your sister died.” Yun Jiuge turned her attention and hurriedly dispelled Yue Qing’er’s idea, lest this silly lass rush to the primitive plane of existence and do something foolish.

“Oh!” Yue Qing’er slowly lay down.

“Have a good rest. I’ll bring Long’er to come see you tomorrow.” Yun Jiuge went back to the sleeping chambers. She looked preoccupied.

“What’s the matter?” Zi Shang asked.

“I was wondering if it was a conspiracy that Fan Yin took the initiative to learn through experience in the primitive plane of existence during that time.” Yun Jiuge felt low-spirited.

“It must have been. During that time, he had arranged for Yin Shili to help us. It must have also been to spy on us.” Zi Shang flew out of Yun Jiuge’s pocket and rested on her knee.

Yun Jiuge touched Zi Shang’s smooth back and recalled what happened in the Secret Realm.

Although Yin Shili was not around when they dealt with Ao Ge, he was likely to have been killed by Little Dragon.

“Fan Yin tried every possible means to make you go look for him in the primitive plane of existence. He must have an ulterior motive. We’d better lure him to Canglan Continent.” The primitive plane of existence was Fan Yin’s territory. Going to him would simply be walking right into his trap, not to mention that he now had the Demonic Blood Flower in his hands.

“He’s not going to come up here.” Yun Jiuge shook her head. She had invited him several times before, but Fan Yin always declined. He did not come up even during the arrival of the Great Catastrophe, let alone now.

“If there’s something he needs in Canglan Continent, he’ll definitely come up,” Zi Shang mused.

“What do you think that can be?” Yun Jiuge asked.

“Your Holy Essence and our child,” Zi Shang said in a deep voice.

“What do you mean?” Yun Jiuge lifted Zi Shang’s claws in front of her and stared closely at his eyes while she said, “Don’t tell me you want to use our child as bait. Don’t try me, I’ll deal with you first.”

“Long’er is my child too. How could I use him as bait?” Zi Shang felt aggrieved. He was not insane.

“I’m sorry. I’m just so nervous.” Yun Jiuge hugged Zi Shang and buried her face in his neck.

“I know. Why don’t we put the Fan Yin matter aside first and take care of that little black horn before we talk about it again,” said Zi Shang as he lapped Yun Jiuge’s cheek in a comforting manner.

“Okay, I’ll go get Long’er now and come back.” Yun Jiuge obtained a piece of the Purple Monkey Flower extract from Blooming Flowering Tree. Her son would definitely like it.

At this time, Little Dragon was gesticulating enthusiastically with his hands and feet in the Wanhua Spiritual Garden as he recounted the experience of last night’s assassination.

Cute Little Baby stared in shock as it listened while Little Grass was nervously hanging onto the tip of Little Dragon’s tail.

“Those assassins were simply brazen. How dare they break into the Celestial Palace! They deserve to die,” Cute Little Baby said angrily.

“Don’t be afraid, Long’er. I’m going to protect you tonight,” Little Grass said earnestly.

“I’ll go, too.” Feifei hovered over Little Dragon’s head.

“I’m going, too.” Mr. and Mrs. Treasure-hunting Scorpion also came out.

“That’s great! Let’s all go to bed together tonight!” Little Dragon was so happy that he showed his small white teeth. It must be fun to have so many little friends to accompany him.

Yun Jiuge had no objections to the favored pets wanting to help keep a night vigil for her son. Not only did she prepare a sumptuous evening meal for them, she also played with them for a long time.

It was only late at night that Yun Jiuge dispatched the favored pets to find themselves spots to rest in the Golden Dragon Hall. She said, “Find yourselves a spot to rest. You’re not allowed to talk or quarrel at night.”

“Yes!” The favored pets responded in unison. They then looked for their own spot.

Feifei stopped in a corner and used a Luminous Pearl and rock crystal to set up a headlight.

Cute Little Baby did a turn in the gorgeous Duobaoge Display Cabinet, and finally occupied a spot where the jadeite Chinese cabbage was, on the second shelf.

Mr. and Mrs. Treasure-hunting Scorpion burrowed into the carpet, while Little Grass snuck underneath Little Dragon’s big bed.
