tic world, which meant that a large amount of supplies had been preserved. This is also why they came even though they knew it was dangerous.The sign of the Century Building, though eroded and beyond...You were only twelve at the time.

Qi Qi fell silent after that.

Because Xiangyi believed the rumors about the Su Nu Gong, thinking its martial arts could grant eternal youth, she set her sights on the technique and even desired to seize her master's internal energy. It was only when Lianyi intervened that she eliminated all of Xiangyi's subordinates.

Because of that upheaval, the twelve years she had cultivated were almost completely severed. It was her master's inner strength that nurtured her for a year, saving Lian Yi's life."

Every time she talks about this, Wang Zhenzhen gets very angry.

I’ve fought them before and know their fighting styles well. When you clashed with bandits in Qingshixia Valley, I saw it—they were all subtly taking orders from you. The rest was easy to figure out.

Ripple immediately steered the conversation back to avoid upsetting Aunt Zhen.

The two people behind Qi Qiren couldn't keep their composure anymore. Their faces were pale with shock, as if they had just witnessed something unbelievable. It turned out that the person who had caused the entire Dark Guard Beta team to be wiped out was actually a twelve-year-old girl with a damaged heart meridian! Her face felt slapped "pa pa" – it hurt a lot.

"You came to Longxi because of the rumors about the treasure, right You joined those martial arts practitioners, also for the treasure map. After you got the treasure map, what did you find"

Ripple smiled and asked.

"She has a complex relationship with the late Wang Yinyin, who was once married to Prince Longxi."

Qi Qi honestly explained everything, and he finally understood that the other party had probably prepared for this meeting a long time ago.

"Now that your identity is clear, there's another reason I've brought you here today."

Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea, then spoke in a soft voice.

"Please speak, Madam,"

"Please tell His Majesty that my Wang family of Longxi will do our utmost to help him conquer the Meng Kingdom and incorporate it into the Han Empire's territory."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Qiqi, but also the two people behind him were taken aback.

"Madam, with great righteousness, Qiqi will definitely bring this message."

Qi Qi immediately stood up and bowed. He came to Longxi for the purpose of finding the legendary treasure, and his reason for finding the treasure was to wage war. Now that he had achieved his goal so easily, he was naturally excited.

"However, my wife has one more request."

"Please speak, madam."

I demand Princess Xiangyi's life! My price is 70% of the assets of the House of Longxi Wang.

Mrs. Wu decisively stated.

Qi Qi's two companions behind her gasped. The Wang family is truly bold, actually wanting the life of a royal princess.

"My lady, if..."

"You may go ahead and speak. My Wang family are businessmen. In our eyes, everything has a price. If we don't take it, it means the price is insufficient. We can just add more. Besides, she is a princess who is sullying the royal reputation."

Mrs. Wu calmly stated her opinion.

"Yes, I will be sure to let him know."

"Knowing that you must have questions after hearing so much all at once and need time to process, perhaps even verify everything, the old woman leaves it in your hands. The Wang family awaits good news from you."

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she picked up her teacup as a signal to bid farewell.

Qi Qi was indeed bombarded by these messages. He got up, bowed, and glanced at Lian Yi, who was smiling. Then, he left the Wang Family Estate with two guards.

After everyone left, Wu sighed in relief and said to Wang Yaohui, who had been silent all along:

"Yaohui, I've taken care of my part. The rest is up to you. How the Wang family moves forward depends on you, the helmsman."

"Yes, Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

Wang Yaohui stepped forward to help up Wu Shi, and together with Wang Zhenzhen, they sent her back to the backyard. Then he went to see his father, Wang Kun.

The ripples also returned to Yíng Zì Courtyard. She felt that according to the current development, she should be able to survive until Shí Jiù found her.

After Qiqi left the Wang family, she returned to the temporary courtyard where she was staying and began writing a message. She had to get the message back as soon as possible.

After releasing the carrier pigeon, Qi Qi turned to address the two dark guards who had followed him.

"What you hear and see today, you must not reveal a single word of it. Wait for His Majesty's decision on everything."

We know.

The two of them aren't stupid, the water here is too deep, it involves too much, they both regret following along.

After the two left, Qiqi only then rubbed her temples and began to review the events of her visit to the Wang family today. She didn't let go of any detail, and then she realized that the Wang family had no need to lie to her.

At that moment, he suddenly realized why His Majesty had sent him to Longxi on a mission. Although he was there to avoid Xiangyi, the venomous woman, perhaps His Majesty was aware of his true origins, and therefore, he went along with it, letting him complete this task because he was the most suitable candidate.

"As expected of Your Majesty, you've outmaneuvered everyone!"

Qi Seven let out a light sigh and murmured to herself.

However, now he at least knows his own origins, his own surname, and who his parents are. He has relatives in this world, and he is not alone. This feeling is very subtle.

Three days later, Qi Qishi did not receive a reply from the emperor, but news arrived that Princess Xiangyi was about to arrive in Longxi.

And the accompanying secret decree reached his hands first. Looking at the contents of the decree, Qi Qī's heart beat faster. He felt that his own vision was too narrow, and as his grandmother, Wu Shi, had said, everything has a price, and not getting it is just because the chips are insufficient. It was clear that His Majesty intended to sell Xiang Yi at a high price.

He really is the Wang family's grandson. This confirms his guess. Qi Qishi let out a light laugh. He could live to this day, perhaps truly because of his identity. Because he still has value, he is a bargaining chip in His Majesty's hands, that's why he can return to Longxi.

After Qiqi finished reading the secret decree, she sat in her room all night, lost in thought. When dawn broke, she called together her companions, conveyed the emperor's secret order, and assigned them their next tasks. Then, she took her visiting card and went to the Wang family.

It surprised Lianyi to receive Qiqi's invitation so quickly. She was practicing calligraphy, trying to be a proper lady of the household, when she heard Yaozu's words. She immediately put down her brush and went to the front yard.

This time, Qiqi met Wang Yaohui and Wang Zhenzhen. Wu's trip out for noodles was already enough.

"His Majesty has agreed to the Wang family's proposal, and Princess Xiangyi will arrive in Longxi in seven days. I will bring her here directly."

Qi Qi directly stated her purpose.

Okay, during this time the Wang family will gather their assets for your convenience to bring back to the imperial city.

Wang Yaohui nodded, this is a deal, at least they have the basic honesty.

""

Then there was a moment of silence. Everyone didn't know what to say. They were relatives, but also strangers. And their positions were different.

"Little brother, you're here! You responded so quickly"

Liàn Yī smiled as she walked into the living room, breaking the silence in the room.

"Yes, sister!"

Qi Qikedu said in a stammer.

"Uncle, Aunt Zhen, is the matter finished If it's finished, I'll bring my younger brother to sit in my courtyard for a while."

"It's all done, you may go now!"

Wang Yaohui waved his hand, then used his eyes to stop Yaozu, who was about to follow up and join in the fun.

The ripples carried Qiqi to Yiyizhai. After they sat down, she laughed and said:

This was the courtyard where her mother lived before she got married.ormation outside Wen's Fort. I will take this opportunity to escape. You send your fort's top cultivators to chase me down and spread rumors that I stole your Wen family's secret treasures.""This"Wen...
