He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Hidden behind the clouds, Shen Qingyao stared at the celestial chariot moving forward.

She was secretly planning how to find an opportunity to appear openly and legitimately, and travel with the two of them.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw the celestial chariot ahead of him suddenly radiate a burst of spiritual light, its speed suddenly increased, and it transformed into a streak of light, disappearing in an instant.

Huh? No way? She actually found me? How is that possible!

He had used his most treasured thirteenth-tier concealment magic item.

Even if the Emperor himself were present, he might not be able to see through it easily. How did my sister find out?

Without a second thought, she quickly channeled her spiritual power and gave chase.

......

Half a day later, in the southern part of Shenhai Prefecture, within the vast and prosperous territory of the Great Hao Empire.

Shen Yunshu wore a white and blue wide-sleeved dress. Although she did not deliberately show off her figure, her aloof and independent temperament alone was enough to overshadow all the beauties in the city.

Her face was covered by a layer of white gauze, which vaguely veiled half of her beautiful face, adding to her ethereal and otherworldly aura.

She held Xu Yi's little hand and strolled leisurely down the street.

Xu Yi, meanwhile, was engrossed in eating, occasionally glancing up at the surrounding scenery and buildings.

Shen Yunshu originally wanted to carry her the whole time, but her disciple was unwilling, which made her feel a little bad.

Shen Yunshu lowered her eyes, looking at Xu Yi's small figure, and made a decision in her heart.

Today, I would buy a thousand, or even several thousand, ancient books that teach how to get close to children and how to maintain relationships, no matter what.

I don't expect the relationship to progress any further, but at the very least, I want to hold on to how things are now.

Even though Shen Yunshu wore a veil and her white and gold wide-sleeved dress was meant to conceal her figure, she was still the center of attention on the street.

Many people kept turning back.

Shen Yunshu was initially unconcerned about the stares, but two pairs of eyes in the crowd made her particularly uncomfortable.

What bothered her even more was that there were subtle, interconnected spiritual energy fluctuations around those two people, the kind that could only be detected through telepathic communication.

They were secretly discussing something.

Shen Yunshu raised an eyebrow slightly, subtly operating his secret technique to eavesdrop.

The square-faced man was the first to transmit his voice.

"Brother, look at that veiled woman in front of us. Just her eyes alone are stunning."

"It's a pity she had a child with her, and she looked like she was already married, otherwise I would definitely have gone up to chat with her."

The man in the blue robe next to him shook his head and clicked his tongue twice after hearing this.

"Tsk tsk, what do you know? Married women are the best of the best, they have more charm."

"We'll take a detour and follow them. Judging from their clothes, they're not locals."

"Once they leave the city or stay at an inn, we'll find a secluded place...hehe, then they'll be completely at our mercy."

The square-faced man couldn't help but lick his lips after hearing this.

The filthy words reached her ears, and Shen Yunshu's cherry lips, hidden beneath her veil, pursed into a cold, hard line.

She was just about to raise her hand and use a spatial technique to silently teleport the two lecherous men to a deserted place, completely erasing their existence.

But the next second, those two nauseating auras and gazes vanished into thin air.

It was Shen Qingyao, who had been secretly following them, who made the move.

Shen Yunshu slightly spread his divine sense to investigate for a moment.

Seeing that Shen Qingyao had killed the two arrogant and malicious thieves, he slowly withdrew his divine sense.

The coldness in her eyes dissipated slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

Ran Li looked down at Xu Yi, who was holding his hand beside him, and the coldness in his eyes melted away, turning into overflowing tenderness.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yunshu exuded a faint but powerful aura of a quasi-emperor.

The oppressive aura was extremely faint, yet it was enough to intimidate the entire street, causing all those with ill intentions to lower their heads and not dare to look at it for long.

It's best not to be too low-key when you're out in public.

After finishing these tasks, Shen Yunshu gently squeezed Xu Yi's small hand and said in a low voice.

"Yi'er, let's walk forward and go to the study ahead. Your master will buy you some interesting classics and stories."

Xu Yi looked up at her gentle eyes and nodded obediently.

Stepping into the study, a faint scent of ink wafts over you; bookshelves stand tall, and scrolls pile up like mountains.

Xu Yi found a soft chair by the window, sat down, and casually flipped through a book.

Shen Yunshu walked up to the shopkeeper and calmly instructed in a cool voice to pack up all the books in the study that were about raising children, teaching children, and getting close to children.

The shopkeeper was taken aback and hurriedly searched and counted, but such books were rare to begin with, and after searching the entire study, he only found about thirty.

Just as the shopkeeper was bowing and holding the book, preparing to hand it over, a cheerful, lighthearted voice suddenly came from the side.

"Oh, sister, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"

Shen Qingyao, dressed in a bright red dress, sauntered up to her, a carefree smile on her face, and feigned surprise as she spoke.

"Since you weren't taking me, I secretly ran away to travel on my own."

"And then, while I was wandering around, I unexpectedly ran into you guys here! What a coincidence!"

These shameless words made Shen Yunshu, who usually had a blank expression, twitch at the corner of her eye.

She lowered her eyes to look at the book in her hand, her fingertips tightening slightly, suppressing the urge to pack the person up and throw them back into the Sword Sect's forbidden area on the spot.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yunshu replied using telepathy.

"You can follow along, but you must keep your promises."

Shen Qingyao's eyes lit up, and she immediately made a victory sign.

"yeah."

Shen Yunshu sighed softly.

"Ugh."

She turned her gaze to Xu Yi, who was quietly reading a book not far away, and a faint sense of helplessness and regret welled up in her heart.

The time I spent alone with Yi'er is gone again.

......

As night fell and the city lights came on, the three checked into the most magnificent inn in the entire city, the top-class room.

The room was warm and cozy, with the sound of running water coming from the cubicle. Shen Yunshu was taking a bath in the inner room.

Shen Qingyao sat by the window, idly watching the night view outside, occasionally yawning.

Xu Yi sat alone at the table, lost in thought.

Unconsciously, her fingers picked up a small piece of jewelry that Shen Yunshu had taken off from the table and fiddled with it casually.

As he fiddled with it, he heard a "click".

Xu Yi's eyes widened instantly as he looked down at the broken jade hairpin in his hand.

It was a simple jade hairpin, with ordinary color and weak spiritual power; it was only a second-tier magic weapon.

How could a quasi-Emperor like Master have such a second-tier accessory?

Could it be that she bought it years ago? Oh no, this is definitely a sentimental item, I'm doomed.

Xu Yi grasped half of it in each hand and sat up blankly.

Shen Yunshu was wearing a loose, plain white nightgown, her long hair slightly damp and draped over her shoulders.

She walked out slowly, and immediately saw Xu Yi standing there dumbfounded. She paused slightly, then gently approached him.

"What's Yi'er doing? Hmm?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hands and gently nudged Xu Yi's shoulder with her fingers.

Xu Yi slowly turned around, lowered his eyes, and slowly opened his palms.

"Master, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Xu Yi stopped halfway through his sentence.

Forget making excuses, I should just think of a way to fix it...

Shen Yunshu lowered her eyes to look at the broken hairpin in his palm, her gaze pausing slightly.

But there was no anger on her face. Instead, she quickly squatted down, gently patted his head, and soothed him in a soft voice.

"Did you break this by accident, disciple? It's alright, it's alright..."

"Yi'er, don't be sad. Your master has only worn this jewelry a few times, so it's not very important."

Shen Qingyao, who was leaning against the window, took in the whole scene and couldn't help but roll her eyes and send a telepathic message.

"You haven't worn it much? Wasn't this the first gift Yu Nianqing gave you? Who wore it every day back then?"

"Sister, you're spoiling the child too much."

"I don't even know how many times I've said this, sigh..."
