Chapter 411 Troubles
Princess Mingzhu's motorcade arrived at the restaurant, and a group of officials accompanied the princess to eat and drink, racking their brains to flatter her, but they could not be too obvious. Anyway, they had to make the princess happy, otherwise they would lose their official hats.

After all, these people don't know what kind of personality Princess Mingzhu has. In fact, it would be more effective to bring up something interesting rather than flattering her.

Yang Yiyi and Tang Lianyu seemed of low status in such an occasion, and it was impossible for them to sit at the same table with the princess, but Yang Yiyi felt it was okay, at least she didn't have to be too restrained when eating.

After a meal and some drinks, the princess would go to the mansion that had been specially vacated to stay.

The local officials had originally planned to send some maids over, but were rejected by the palace guards on the grounds of safety. Anyway, the princess was already carrying palace maids and eunuchs on the boat when she came, so there was no need for the local officials to send anyone else.

These imperial guards from the Tianjue Palace were very professional. They had searched the house inside and out long before the princess entered the house. After the princess went in to rest, they sent people to guard all the key points of the house, with both visible and hidden sentries ready to ensure that no one could threaten the princess's safety.

Yang Yiyi lived in the guest room of this house. As it was getting late and the candles were almost burned out, she still hadn't closed her eyes to rest.

She stared at the roof, her mind seeming to recall what happened after she fell off the cliff.

As a disciple of a small sect who came from a mountain village and was not even a background board, she could now eat and drink with the princess. She suddenly had a wonderful feeling.

Things in this world are unpredictable.

However, what Tang Lianyu said in the carriage made Yang Yiyi feel like a thorn in her heart.

"Although you are a chivalrous person, Miss Yang, there is a limit to your power. I don't know why people from outside the Great Wall came to the Central Plains, but this matter has been noticed by various martial arts sects in the Central Plains, and the courts of the ten countries have also sent spies to investigate. As a lone warrior, why should you be so concerned?"

Whether it is the Sirius Cult or something else, such a big thing cannot be handled by Yang Yiyi alone. It is not as simple as a fight between a few people.

Tang Lianyu was like saying, if the sky falls, there is someone taller to hold it up. Yang Yiyi, you are not tall, and you don't have any power. You are just a wandering person. If you insist on getting involved, it will not only be dangerous, but you will also be used as a gun by others.

Indeed, it can be seen from the previous siege of the Sirius Cult's stronghold that the famous and upright sects summoned their fellow martial artists for help, simply treating them as expendables, specifically responsible for keeping the small soldiers away from getting in the way, and they were never allowed to participate in the real major decisions.

The meaning of Tang Lianyu's words was not clear at the moment, but they touched a soft spot in Yang Yiyi's heart.

Yeah, what's the point?
You say that every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country, but you are just an ordinary citizen. At most, your anger will cause blood to splatter five steps away, and you will be arrested for murder afterwards.

They are well-known and upright families with great wealth and many experts. The imperial court has millions of soldiers and the whole world belongs to the king. What do you have?
It's just a miserable life.

Why do you want to get involved in such a big thing, or what right do you have to get involved?
Yang Yiyi felt like there were two villains arguing in her heart. One said that you are not worthy of getting involved, you might as well listen to Brother Li and practice martial arts well, and in the future, you can promote the Yuezhou Liu family to avenge your imprisonment.

The other said, yes, yes.

Yang Yiyi understood the truth, but she was still unwilling to accept it.

The world of martial arts that Yang Yiyi imagined was a place where revenge was taken in an upright manner. If the road was uneven, someone would clear it. If no one was there, then I would do it!
However, in reality, the martial arts world is far more complicated than Yang Yiyi imagined. Each sect has its own plans, and outsiders are eyeing them covetously.

All the favors and business deals have turned the perfect world in Yang Yiyi's mind into a dark place.

Yang Yiyi's ideal is to become a hero, but she has no idea what this hero looks like.

To this day, Yang Yiyi has been doing it out of impulse. She has never thought about, or refuses to think about, why she is doing it.

Was it just because she didn't like people from outside the pass, or was she just flattered after being called a female hero a few times? She seemed to have lost motivation all of a sudden, and tossed and turned in bed.

Taking out the jade sceptre, Yang Yiyi wanted to hear Li Chengxi's opinion.

However, Li Chengxi had already fallen asleep at this time, so Yugui naturally did not respond.

She looked at the three large characters "Qingtianshu" written in a flamboyant style on the jade sceptre and suddenly had a strange thought.

If I had not been sold to the Liu family by my master, I would not have met Li Chengxi, and naturally the series of events that followed would not have happened.

In that case, he could continue to be an outer disciple doing odd jobs in the Qingshan Sect, and dream every day of going out to do justice one day.

Maybe this is better?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Yang Yiyi quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought.

Things are a foregone conclusion and time cannot be reversed. People must always look forward and not always look back.

Turning over the jade sceptre, there is a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl engraved on the back, with twelve words in the middle of the pattern.

Know the principles of nature, understand all things, change the world, and manipulate the sun and the moon.

Yang Yiyi had already understood the first six words, but the last six words...

If the Immortal Qingtian can really turn the world upside down and manipulate the sun and the moon, with such great magical powers he can definitely do whatever he wants, right?
If I have the help of Brother Li, even a nobody like me should be considered a "tall one", right?

Thinking of this, Yang Yiyi became even more annoyed and put the quilt over her head.

Brother Li treated me well, but I actually wanted to take advantage of him. Is this something a human being would do?

Yang Yiyi's feelings towards Li Chengxi can be said to be very complicated. He is like a master, like an elder brother, like a friend, and also a bit like a father. Although she has never seen what Li Chengxi looks like, she has already developed a strong attachment to him. It is no exaggeration to say that he is her closest person.

When Yang Yiyi thought about how she had once considered taking advantage of someone, she began to feel nauseous.

In order to promote the Qingshan Sect, the master made a deal with the Liu family, and in order to satisfy his own selfish desire to become a hero, he used Li Chengxi. Aren't they birds of a feather?
The more Yang Yiyi thought about it, the more annoyed and angry she became.

Li Chengxi was very good at judging people. Yang Yiyi was the type of person who seldom used her brain, but once she did, she would easily get stuck in a rut.

She threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed.

Yang Yiyi knew that she was stupid and didn't understand any big principles. Instead of staying in bed and thinking about random things, she decided to go out and relax.

She walked out of the room and stood in the small courtyard at the door of the guest room. The cool breeze blew gently, and she seemed to calm down a lot, but the irritability in her heart did not disappear.

Looking at the cold moonlight, Yang Yiyi jumped onto the roof, then took a few steps and jumped out of the house.

Of course the palace guards in charge of security saw it, but they all knew Yang Yiyi, so if she wanted to go out in the middle of the night, they let her go, and the palace guards wouldn't care...
