After a morning, Li Wanji had a preliminary understanding of the relationships within the Ximen family.

The old lady and the Western Ghost King and his wife still valued her as the new daughter-in-law very much. As for those collateral relatives and servants, although they were respectful to her on the surface, they each had their own calculations in their hearts.

However, she is not Ximen Qing's real wife. As long as Ximen's calculations and conspiracies do not threaten her personal affairs, she chooses to turn a blind eye to them for the time being.

If there is anyone else like Liang Yuehua who is so ignorant of life and death, she will not show mercy like she did today.

Fortunately, she has now obtained the seal of Prince Qing's Mansion. With this token, it will be of great help in finding more clues that are more useful and beneficial to the Wangchuan Alliance.

After breakfast, Li Wanji made an excuse of feeling unwell and left and returned to her residence.

After she handed the Fengquan defense map that she had copied last night to Ye Wushang, Tu Shanyi and others, she asked them to evacuate Fengquan first.

After all, the incident that day in which Cangzhi's wedding procession was hijacked and replaced with their own people not only mobilized the elite troops of Wangcheng stronghold, but also drew personnel from the other eight city strongholds to come for support.

Now that Li Wanji and Ximen Qing have been successfully married, she has also successfully infiltrated the Ximen family, and she can find a way to complete the remaining tasks.

Allowing so many elite members of the Wangchuan League to stay here would inevitably expose their whereabouts and arouse Ximen's vigilance.

In addition, if an ally like Tu Shanyi, who has an emotional entanglement with Li Wanji, were present and saw her and Ximen Qing living together as husband and wife, unnecessary trouble would probably arise.

"Wanji, if we leave, can you really handle it alone?" Ye Wushang couldn't help but ask Li Wanji again before leaving.

"Don't worry, Lord Ye. I know what I am doing. I hope you won't report my mission here. After all, the fewer people know about it, the more freely I can act."

In fact, in addition to the special nature of Li Wanji's current identity, she also doesn't want to distract her fellow Taoists and children on the front line.

Ye Wushang nodded. He understood Li Wanji’s concerns and was well aware of her abilities.

"Well, you must protect yourself no matter what. Otherwise, I really won't be able to explain to Lord River Lord."

Tu Shanyi also said goodbye to Li Wanji, his eyes were full of reluctance, but the current situation was not suitable for him to express too much emotion.

After giving a few simple instructions, he left Fengquan with Ye Wushang and others.

The only people left with Li Wanji were Huanli and a few other girls from the Feifei tribe who acted as maids and servants, as well as a few guards arranged at the stronghold.

These people don't have much fighting power, they are just pretending!

After all, she is now a princess of the underworld, so even if she marries down, she still has to be properly honored.

As night fell, Li Wanji sat alone in the room, playing with the heavy token in her hand, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

The Ximen family is able to achieve the point where even Cang Yuan, the Lord of the Underworld, is wary of them. In addition to the fact that Cang Yuan relies on the wealth controlled by their family to hire soldiers from the Demon Realm, there must also be secrets and background of their family.

"Aji, what are you thinking about?" Ximen Qing's voice came from above his head.

Li Wanji looked up suddenly and saw Ximen Qing standing behind her without her knowing when. She quickly put away the token and put on a gentle smile.

"Qing, why are you back so late? We just got married, why don't you take a few more days off before dealing with official business?"

Ximen Qing walked closer and sat next to Li Wanji: "The war has far-reaching implications. I have no choice. Are you blaming me for not accompanying you?"

"How could that be?" Li Wanji shook her head slightly and looked at Ximen Qing, "I'm just worried that you're working too hard and your body can't take it."

"No problem. I'm used to it." Ximen Qing smiled calmly, then changed the subject and said, "Azhi, why did you evacuate the people you brought with you today?"

Li Wanji knew that he would ask about this matter and was mentally prepared.

"Qing, Fengquan is peaceful with you and my brother in charge. My brother is in a tight war situation, and it would be a waste to keep those people here. It would be better to let them go back to the front line to serve."

Simon listened to her saying this and did not ask any further questions.

"Aji, it's getting late. I still have some official documents to deal with tonight. You should go to bed early." Ximen Qing stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Wanji reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Qing, you are just getting married, are you going to leave me alone to handle official business?"

Ximen Qing turned around and looked at her eyes as clear as autumn water, and a trace of tenderness arose in his heart.

"Aji, you know I'm busy with official duties, why do you have to do this?"

Li Wanji refused to give in, pulled him to sit down again, put her face close to his chest, and whispered: "Qing, don't leave me alone in the empty room, okay?"

In order to obtain the Taotie's bloodline as soon as possible, Li Wanji had to do everything she could.

Be it acting coquettishly or seducing, she will try anything as long as it can achieve her goal.

Ximen Qing was a little confused by her sudden intimacy, but he was known for his calmness and quickly regained his composure.

"Azhi, I think you should understand that for people like us, love is the most useless thing. I marry you, and you marry me, it's just a temporary solution. I don't want you to place too much emotion on me."

"A stopgap measure?" A barely perceptible cold light flashed across Li Wanji's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and put on a pitiful look.

What an unromantic man!

If it weren't for the fact that their cultivation levels were similar, Li Wanji would not be able to gain any advantage by using force, and she might have lost her patience long ago.

At the moment, she had to overcome the hardness with gentleness, with tears in her eyes, looking at Ximen Qing and said: "Qing, I understand what you said. Even if it is just a temporary solution, don't you even want to give me the dignity I deserve?"

Ximen Qing was silent for a moment, then walked out of the room without stopping for a moment.

Li Wanji looked at the closed door and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but her heart was calm.

This man was not moved at all. He was truly an impregnable fortress.

However, Lee Wan-hee never lacked patience, and she had never failed to catch the prey she wanted to trap.

After an incense stick of time, Ximen Qing returned to the room again. The servant behind him was holding two thick stacks of official documents.

"Put it there!" Ximen Qing pointed to the desk in the corner of the room. After the attendant put down the documents and left, he turned around and said to Li Wanji: "Azhi, I must finish processing these documents tonight. If you are bored, you can take a rest first."

Li Wanji lay on the couch and ignored him, as if she had really fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Ximen Qing didn't say much and sat down at the desk to start handling official business.
