The Evil Emperor's Beloved

With Jing Yueli leading the way, the return journey felt much easier than the one Xuanyuan Chen and his companions had taken here. Except for a small accident when they passed the miasma forest, the rest was smooth. Especially when they passed by the spiritual medicine valley again, Xuanyuan Chen and his companions were so happy, as they had made another great harvest.

Originally Jing Yueli wanted to avoid the Spiritual Medicine Valley, but then she thought that she couldn't give up the resources that she should have obtained just because of the bad apple of the Second Elder.

She also signaled to Jingyi and the others that they could bring people here for training later.

Jing Yueli’s meaning was obvious: her aunt had taken a fancy to this spiritual medicine valley.

In addition, what made Jing Yueli disappointed was that she did not encounter the legendary beast this time.

So Jing Yueli decided in her heart that she would go for a good stroll when she came to the inner area again.

Soon everyone was out of the inner circle, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Yueli found an excuse and asked Jing Yi and the others to leave first. Yueyingwei and the others were the only ones left following Jing Yueli, and Xuanyuanchen and the others did not ask any more questions.

Nearing the imperial city, Jing Yueli avoided the Second Elder and the others, and gave each of Si Mowen and Leng Tianshuang a Foundation Establishment Pill. It was obvious that Jing Yueli hoped that they could retreat and work on their foundation building before the big competition.

They accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill and were deeply moved. Although Si Mowen and her brother knew that Jing Yueli had refined the Foundation Establishment Pill before, and she had promised to give them one each, they were still very excited when they actually got the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After they take this pill, they will also join the ranks of foundation building.

Afterwards, Leng Tianchao from the Leng family returned to the mansion and immediately had a secret conversation in the master's study for two hours. No one knew what they talked about exactly.

I just heard that in the next half month, the Leng family carried out a major purge, and the spies and traitors planted by various parties were kicked out of the Leng family. Those who had rebellious intentions in the family were also secretly imprisoned by the Leng family.

This is Jing's house

When Grandpa Jing saw his granddaughter who had been away for more than a month come back, he was as happy as a child. His full-bodied roar could be heard from a distance.

After coming back, Jing Yueli went to Anyu Tower and left a lot of spirit crystals and medicinal herbs in the tower.

He went to the Treasure Pavilion again and auctioned some of the pills he had made.

Obviously, Jing Yueli will receive another large sum of money later.

After Mr. Mo learned about this, he immediately informed Mo Yunyu of the news.

Mo Yunyu had previously received a report from Mo Yan, and learned that Jing Yueli had gone to the inner area of ​​the Sunset Mountains.

Mo Lao: "This girl, it seems that she gained a lot from going to the inner area of ​​the Sunset Mountains this time."

Mo Yunyu looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"You don't know, this girl even put the Foundation Establishment Pill up for auction!" After saying this, Old Mo still had a look of pain on his face, as if the pill was snatched from him.

The Foundation Building Pill was not a rare medicine for Mr. Mo and his people. The clan also had some, but they were becoming less and less as they were used. What he wanted were the medicinal materials used to refine the Foundation Building Pill.

"It seems that this girl has a great opportunity this time when she went to the Sunset Mountains!" Old Mo sighed, truly envious of Jing Yueli's good luck.

"The Five Nations Competition is about to begin. This girl will definitely make good use of this opportunity. The Jing family will make a big splash this time."

"Take good care of her!" Mo Yunyu said without any expression on his face.

Mr. Mo wanted to ask this last time, so he just listened to him and said, "Young Master, have you thought about it?"

It was obvious that Mr. Mo was asking about the storage ring he had given him last time. It had been weighing on his mind and had not been resolved.

"Hmm" A simple word "hmm" says it all.

"It has to be her?" Mr. Mo continued to ask, not giving up.

It’s not that Mr. Mo looks down on Jing Yueli, but this matter is too big for them.

"It can only be her!" After saying that, Mo Yunyu left.

Although Mo Yunyu's reply was simple, Old Mo knew that his young master really cared about it.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Mo Yunyu said to Mo Yan beside him, "You stay with her from now on."

Although Mo Yunyu did not specify who she was referring to, Mo Yan inexplicably understood what his master meant, and then he disappeared beside Mo Yunyu.

Jing Yueli is their future mistress, so Mo Yan is very dedicated. He guards outside Jing Yueli's garden every night and hides around Jing Yueli during the day.

Mo Yan's cultivation was much higher than Jing Yueli's, so she didn't notice it from beginning to end.

As the competition was getting closer, Jing Yueli decided to go into seclusion for the next period of time. Except for Li Xue and Li Yu who were guarding Jing Yueli's door openly, the rest of the people hid in the dark.

Li Feng led them to firmly grasp the information sent by Anyu Tower and made corresponding arrangements to ensure that they would not be out of touch with the outside world while protecting their masters.

Although Grandpa Jing knew that his precious granddaughter was in seclusion, he still came to the Glass Garden frequently. Sometimes he would walk outside the Glass Garden, and sometimes he would come in and sit in the pavilion in the Glass Garden for an hour, and ask Li Yu or Li Xue to make him a pot of tea, and then he would pull them to chat.

Uncle Zhong followed closely behind him, watching everything with a smile on his face.

He knew that the old man was lonely and missed his granddaughter.

"Alas, we don't know where the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Mistress are now. Are they safe?" The old servant wiped his tears where no one could see.

Uncle Zhong has been with Grandpa Jing since he was a child, and this has been forty years. It can be said that he watched the eldest son grow up, and to put it bluntly, he treats the eldest son as his own child.

With the eldest son missing, the old man lost most of his energy overnight. Fortunately, he had the young master and the young lady to take care of, so he held on and did not dare to lose heart for a moment.

While Jing Yueli was in seclusion, another major event happened in the imperial capital. Speaking of this event, it was related to Jing Yueli.

That was the foundation-building pill that Jing Yueli had bid for at the Treasure Pavilion.

Before the auction, the Treasure Pavilion had already created hype for it, so one can imagine how many people came to the imperial capital.

The first to be affected were the major aristocratic families and the royal family in the imperial capital, so on the day of the auction, this foundation-building pill was sold at a sky-high price, but the strange thing was that no one knew who eventually bought it.

However, on the second day after the auction ended, six spiritual energy vortices formed in the four directions of the Imperial Capital City, and several people succeeded in building their foundations.

At that time, the spiritual energy above the imperial capital seemed to be almost completely drained.

People in the imperial capital left their homes one after another and looked up at the sky.

When Emperor Xuanyuan in the palace learned about this, he immediately sent people out of the palace in four directions.

Finally, we learned that the children from each family were in seclusion to build their foundation.

One is the Leng family, and the other two are the Si family and the Wen family. Two vortexes of spiritual energy appeared in the sky above both of their families. The remaining one is in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

After receiving the news, Emperor Xuanyuan could not calm down for a long time. Emperor Xuanyuan helped six people to build the foundation successfully at once, which represented the rise of the younger generation in the families behind these six people.

Although one of them was his son, Emperor Xuanyuan had to take it seriously.

If he knew that there were two others who had already established their foundation, he would probably be even more restless.

News of what happened in the Xuanyuan Imperial Capital was soon spread by spies planted by various countries in the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
