So he ordered someone to lure her eldest son, who had been expelled from the family, to the capital, whether to soften her heart or to make her feel uncomfortable, he just wanted to get him here first.

However, plans can change quickly. After returning from the manor, Yu Chi Hui became ruthless, forcing the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince to flee the capital.

On the city wall in the middle of the night, Yu Chi Hui watched expressionlessly as several people fled in panic on horseback, and coldly ordered, "Secret order."

That night, Yu Chi Hui issued countless secret orders, some to execute the Sixth Prince's maternal relatives, some to imprison the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince's families in the capital, and some to the troops stationed along the route from the capital to the fiefdom of the Prince of Huai'an. Finally, he arrested all the Prince of Huai'an's heirs and their subordinates who were still in the capital.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the capital became tense, with arrests happening everywhere.

Cui Yao had received the news in advance and had already brought Xiao Lan back to the Xiaoyong Marquis's residence. The Xiaoyong Marquis's residence was located in a street with only three houses, all of which were military families. The defense value here was second only to the inner palace.

......

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Cui Yao presented a high-yield sweet potato in exchange for a special imperial edict, which granted the Xiao family three chances to be pardoned.

The mission in this world was completed in less than ten years. After arranging the marriages of her son and daughter, Cui Yao settled down to live a life of leisure and comfort as an old lady. The year after the death of Grand Princess Mingxin, Grand Princess Fu'an passed away.

"Time and Space Administration employee Chu Lanyu, mission complete. 12 points added, total points: 66. Emotions generated in the mission world have been cleared."

Chu Lanyu didn't rest and went straight into the next task.

The person who commissioned this task didn't have a very specific task in mind; she was just extremely unwilling to accept it. She had only just discovered her spiritual root and hadn't even started cultivating before she died. She wanted to cultivate, even though her spiritual root wasn't good and her chances of ascending to immortality were slim. So she wanted to die a natural death.

This is a world where cultivation is possible. The original owner's world was the so-called lower realm. She was abandoned in the mountains and forests when she was a child and was picked up by a hunter in Lishan Village. She took the hunter's surname, Li. Because the moonlight was bright on the day she was found, she was named Limingyue. Her adoptive father died unexpectedly when she was 15 years old. She had already participated in the spiritual root test of the cultivation sect and confirmed that she had dual spiritual roots of water and wood. Her talent was not high, but she could still be admitted to an ordinary sect as an outer disciple. Just as Limingyue was happily preparing to go home to pack her things and find a sect to join.

An accident occurred. A blue dragon from the upper realm, seeking revenge from its enemies, fell to the foot of Mount Li and destroyed half of Li Mingyue's house. The blue dragon was severely injured and hastily set up a barrier with its natal magic weapon before falling into a coma.

This caused Li Mingyue great distress. After she crawled out of the collapsed woodshed, she found that her home had been occupied and she couldn't get out. Later, a group of disciples from a major sect arrived. They had come in search of the dragon's aura. The dragon was a treasure from head to toe, and normally people from the lower realms wouldn't dare to provoke it. However, this dragon was seriously injured.

When they arrived, the Azure Dragon's barrier had already been set up, and they couldn't get in either. However, there was a former homeowner inside the barrier, so the disciples of these sects guided the former homeowner to use the barrier-breaking method to get out. It's much easier to break the barrier from the inside than to break it from the outside.

The original owner broke through the barrier and went out. The disciples of the major sects rushed in like flies to dung. The unconscious Azure Dragon was captured by them, trapped in an array, skinned, tendon pulled out, scaled and bled, and even had its horns cut off. But the Azure Dragon was very tough and survived all this torture until his friends from the upper realm came to rescue him.

The dragons were enraged by the mistreatment of their people and wreaked havoc in the lower realm. The original owner of the dragon, who had already joined a sect, also perished in this catastrophe.

To be fair, that Azure Dragon was not bad. Although he was tortured so badly, he did not hold a grudge against the original owner. He felt that the original owner was innocently implicated by him, and that the original owner's death was truly an accident.

She entered Li Mingyue's body after the woodshed collapsed. Instead of climbing out immediately, she sat quietly in a corner and absorbed the plot. She then took out a piece of roasted meat from the previous mission world to replenish the body's strength.

The original owner was quite clever. She knew what the dragon inside would face once the barrier was broken, but she had to go out because there was no food at home. If she didn't go out, she would starve to death. She had just discovered that she had spiritual roots and believed that she had a good future.

Now, Li Mingyue sat quietly in the half-collapsed woodshed. After receiving the plot, she sorted through the original owner's memories. The original owner's life for the first ten years or so was very simple. She was picked up by her adoptive father. It is said that when he found her, she was in a broken basket and didn't even have a cloth to wrap herself in. She probably didn't have any remarkable background.

She had lived in this small mountain village with fewer than thirty households since she could remember. The farthest place she had ever been was a town that was just over a mountain. A year after her adoptive father passed away, a cultivation sect came to the town to test spiritual roots. There were only two people with spiritual roots: the youngest son of a family that ran a general store in the town, who had three spiritual roots (metal, fire, and wood), and her, who had two spiritual roots (water and wood). The sect that was testing spiritual roots disliked their spiritual roots and did not take them away directly. Instead, they gave them an address and told them to go there on their own.

Of course, if they joined another sect nearby, the sect wouldn't care, since they were just two people with mixed mid-grade spiritual roots.

The original owner didn't like the boy with spiritual roots very much and planned to wait until he left before choosing a sect in the opposite direction to join. Anyway, all the sects were accepting disciples for the next two months.

Faint sounds came from outside. Li Mingyue knew that the "reputable sects" who coveted the dragon's body had arrived. The Azure Dragon's barrier was very advanced. It was transparent, allowing one to see outside, but it was also very soundproof. One could only hear some rustling sounds. Living things could not get in, but it did not block natural elements such as wind and rain.

The people outside discussed it for half a day without reaching a conclusion. Li Mingyue couldn't stay in the corner of the woodshed forever because she was a mortal and had the need for the Five Grains Reincarnation. Although she could stay in her soul space forever now, she didn't want to relieve herself inside.

Most importantly, she cannot expose this accessible soul space. Although it has been refined into her soul, the cultivators in this cultivation world don't care about such things; they will definitely try to kill her and steal her treasures.

Mei Qingqing suddenly opened her beautiful phoenix eyes wide: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, there are people inside."

"Hmm?" Tan Lingfeng looked in the direction his junior sister was pointing and saw a thin little girl in tattered clothes crawling out of a house that had mostly collapsed.

After Li Mingyue climbed out, she dusted herself off, stood there for a moment and stared at the person outside the transparent barrier before looking away.

Mei Qingqing approached the edge of the barrier, flashed her most friendly smile, and said something.
