Why are you messing with her? She is full of space beasts.

Chapter 378 Discovering Spirit Crystal

Regarding marrying the second princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, the emperor specifically asked Master Kongchen more questions, and finally listened to Master Kongchen's advice and set the wedding date for half a month later.

Jun Linyu also visited the empress dowager. He had not seen this royal grandmother since he was seven years old. After exchanging a few words, he left.

People all say that he was able to turn things around and return to the city from the frontier this time because the Empress Dowager protected him and loved him. He himself knew very well that although the Empress Dowager looked approachable and amiable, she was actually not as easy to get along with as she seemed. He even couldn't understand the Empress Dowager's actions.

With fatigue on his face, Jun Linyu returned to the former Third Prince's residence. It was deserted and not as popular as usual.

"Fen Ji, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Jun Linyu leaned on the couch, his eyes slightly narrowed, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.

"Your Highness, Princess Anping returned to Kyoto five days ago, but she has not left the mansion since the banquet. According to investigation, Princess Anping...is not at home at all."

He is not at home. Could he be practicing in seclusion?

Jun Linyu tapped the table and remained silent.

"Any news about that man?"

Thinking of that powerful man, Jun Linyu's eyes were filled with sinisterness.

"Your Highness, no..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him became noticeably colder. Fen Ji lowered his head, and Jun Linyu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes cold and piercing.

Who exactly is that man? He couldn't find out after investigating for so long. Is Ji Jiuying's transformation so powerful related to that man? Thinking that she had deceived him for so long, Jun Linyu felt an inexplicable fire in his heart.

If it was true as he guessed, it meant that Ji Jiuying had already been having an affair with that man before she broke off her engagement with him!

What a bitch! How dare she mess around with other men behind his back?

"Keep checking!"

"Yes."

After Fen Ji responded, he thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the matter of the Fourth Princess..."

Jun Linyu's fingers tapped the table rhythmically. Thinking of what Jun Luoli asked her to do for help today, a sneer appeared in her heart.

At this critical moment, how could he possibly beg for her in front of his father? The promise he made to her today was just an excuse to get rid of her.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What he needs to do now is to make Jun Luoli trust him completely and listen to him.

"Go tell her that I will come to see her after I finish my work, and ask her to wait."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Fen Ji left after saying this.

As the night deepened, Jun Linyu put on a slight disguise and flew towards the post station. The people around the Third Prince's Mansion were unaware of it, and a shocking conspiracy began to unfold.

After Murong Ning came back today, he was locked in the room by Murong Yun. He couldn't get out. He put his ear against the wall but couldn't hear any sound from next door. Murong Ning sat there helplessly.

Then what was Jun Linyu plotting with his brother? Why didn't he let her listen?

Murong Zheng next door was looking at the moonlight, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, a strange light flashed across the sky and disappeared in an instant. Murong Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed it. Is she there too? The dark figure instantly disappeared into the night.

Ji Jiuying in the cave fluttered her eyelashes slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and exhaled.

"Mom, you finally woke up."

Xiao Huang'er stepped forward and held Ji Jiuying's shoulders affectionately. Ji Jiuying touched her head with her hand and said, "Xiao Huang'er, you have worked hard."

Xiao Huang'er shook her head, "Waiting for mother is not hard at all."

Ji Jiuying felt warm in her heart and smiled.

"Xiaojiu, how do you feel?" Ye Qingchen also came to Ji Jiuying and asked.

Ji Jiuying shook her head. "Such a large spiritual stone mine, but after I absorbed it, I only advanced one star."

There was a flash of disappointment in her eyes. She had thought that such a pure spirit stone ore could be upgraded to at least two stars.

“Xiaojiu, don’t be anxious. It’s already very good to be promoted one star in such a short time.” Ye Qingchen comforted.

Despite this, Ji Jiuying was still a little disappointed. It turned out that the more anxious you were about cultivation, the slower your progress would be.

"Mother, you haven't absorbed it all yet."

Xiao Huang'er's voice came faintly, and she said it seriously.

“But there is no spiritual energy here anymore.”

Ji Jiuying answered without thinking too much, but Ye Qingchen understood the meaning of Xiao Huang'er's words.

"Xiao Huang'er, are you saying there is still spiritual energy in here?"

Xiao Huang'er nodded seriously.

When Ji Jiuying heard Ye Qingchen's question, she realized it belatedly. Could it be that... there are other caves in this spiritual vein mine? Thinking of this, she quickly took Xiao Huang'er's hand and asked.

"Xiao Huang'er, tell me, why do you say there is spiritual energy here?"

Xiao Huang'er took Ji Jiuying's hand and came to a stone wall, pointing at it, "Mother, it's right here."

Ji Jiuying and Ye Qingchen looked at each other and took a few steps back. They immediately understood what he meant and at the same time concentrated their spiritual power to attack the location Xiao Huang'er mentioned.

With a loud bang, the whole mountain was shaking, as if it would collapse in the next second.

However, there was no spiritual stone that Xiao Huang'er had mentioned on the exploded ground. "Isn't it deep enough?"

"Mother, let Xiao Huanger come."

As he spoke, a flash of fire mixed with the power of a divine beast passed by, and another loud bang was heard. A big hole exploded in the original place, and rich spiritual energy rushed towards them. The smoke and dust dissipated, and the few people finally saw the situation in front of them clearly.

The people outside the mountains were startled by the shaking and looked at the cave in confusion.

"Sir, is the master really okay in there?"

Ye Yi also frowned. It should be fine as the master and the princess are together. Besides, even if they wanted to go in now, they couldn't!

"Don't worry, the master will be fine."

A group of people were guarding the cave in secret.

Murong Zheng hid in the dark, listening to the conversation between several people, his brows slightly frowned.

Master? Is he a man? Are you and Ji Jiuying both in the cave?

If they were practicing in seclusion, why were there two of them together? Was the master these people were talking about the powerful man from before?

Countless questions emerged in Murong Zheng's mind.

Ji Jiuying and Ye Qingchen stood there in shock. How could this be a spiritual stone? It was clearly a top-grade spiritual crystal. Just by exposing a corner of it, it emitted so much rich spiritual energy. They couldn't imagine how much spiritual energy this spiritual crystal would have when the whole crystal was exposed.

Fortunately, a barrier has been set up here a long time ago, otherwise if such rich spiritual energy leaked out, it would definitely attract countless powerful people to snatch it.

"Xiao Huang'er, you are really mother's lucky star."

Ji Jiuying's brows lit up with joy and she excitedly hugged Xiao Huang'er.

Ye Qingchen also looked at Xiao Huang'er with some surprise. This Vermillion Bird also has the ability to sense spirit stones?

"Qingchen, since we discovered it together, let's absorb this spirit crystal together." Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
