But it's not a big deal.

She and Gu Jinyan were simply not meant to be.

Yin Liuli said she didn't know, but Chu Lingyun could clearly see the affection in her tearful eyes.

"Never mind, let's not talk about this."

He felt a mix of emotions, a bitter smile playing on his lips, and he patted his shoulder.

"Get on, your senior brother will carry you back."

Yin Liuli sniffed.

"it is good."

When they were little, when they got tired of playing on the mountain, their eldest brother would carry her back on his back.

Lying on Chu Lingyun's back, Yin Liuli fell into a deep sleep.

……

Cheng Yi personally went to Fahua Temple and invited Master Shiquan over overnight.

Master Shiquan looked somber as he took Gu Jinyan's pulse, remaining silent for a long time.

The atmosphere was exceptionally somber and oppressive.

Cheng Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and couldn't help but ask.

"Master Shiquan, how is Yan'er?"

Master Shiquan gently shook his head and waved to the young novice.

The young novice monk stepped forward carrying his golden alms bowl.

Master Shiquan took out a talisman from his sleeve, chanted incantations, and circled the talisman around Gu Jinyan's body a few times. Then, he shaved some blood from the tiger's mouth of Gu Jinyan's hand and drew it on the talisman.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, a flame shot up from the talisman, igniting without any wind.

Master Shiquan casually tossed the talisman into the golden bowl, and the bowl hummed loudly, vibrating as if it had been struck.

Cheng Yi and Gu Fanghan held their breath, looking at each other nervously and at a loss.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please check for yourselves."

Master Shiquan sighed softly.

"What Princess Anle said is true. This corpse demon is indeed powerful. Its vital energy was damaged, but fortunately it was suppressed by a surge of true energy."

Otherwise, the young master's soul would have already left his body.

"Master, please, please save Yan'er!"

Cheng Yi's heart clenched with worry, and she sobbed uncontrollably, "If only the monk could save my Yan'er, I would be willing to donate 100,000 taels of incense money to Fahua Temple!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me, this old monk does not have that ability."

Master Shiquan stood up and sighed helplessly.

"To be honest, I am of dull and dull nature. In recent years, I have devoted all my energy to studying Buddhism, and my magical skills are mediocre at best."

Cheng Yi gasped, then knelt down at the feet of the Perfect Master with a thud, pleading desperately.

"Master, please don't be modest. If you don't save my Yan'er, who else in this world can?"

"Please, Master, save my son! Please save my son!"

"Your Highness, please rise. This old monk is unworthy to receive Your Highness's kneeling ceremony."

Master Shiquan frowned and said, "Your Highness, are you perhaps asking the wrong person? Princess Anle is the real expert. She is naturally beautiful and intelligent, and the Taoist arts she has learned are the essence of her sect."

"Why do you two, instead of seeking help from the person right in front of you, go to such lengths to ask me, an outsider, for help?"

Gu Fanghan said silently,

"Ah Yi has completely offended them, how can she possibly ask for their help?"

"If she hadn't stirred up trouble, how could my Yan'er have been implicated by her and afflicted with such a vicious aura?!"

Cheng Yi gritted her teeth in resentment, "For me to beg her? She's dreaming!"

Gu Fanghan remained expressionless and silent.

"Your Highness, have you misunderstood something?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Master Shiquan's compassionate face. "If one is struck by such a powerful corpse demon, the soul cannot withstand the yin energy of the physical body and will inevitably leave the body immediately."

In my humble opinion, if the princess hadn't used her magic in time to send the young master's soul back into his body and remove some of the malevolent energy, he probably wouldn't have survived this long.

Cheng Yi's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Master, is there really no other way?"

Master Shiquan sighed, "Given Your Highness's status, it's not impossible for you to seek out many experts."

However… the young master probably won't last more than ten days. Every day the corpse demon isn't eradicated adds to the danger.

A flicker of despair flashed in Cheng Yi's bloodshot eyes.

"Is... is that the only thing we can do? Beg that witch?"

"A witch?"

Master Shiquan looked helpless. "Although I don't know why Your Highness is so insistent, there is no other way to save the young master except to ask Princess Anle, that vixen, for help."

Cheng Yi's face hardened, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"I will never beg her! Never!"

"Ah Yi, you've been willful and proud for half your life, that's enough."

Gu Fanghan gazed at her with deep eyes and said calmly,

"You are Yan'er's mother! Yan'er could have lived. If you insist on sacrificing your son's life for your own selfish desires, I have nothing to say... Let's get a divorce."

Cheng Yi suddenly looked up, his whole body trembling violently.

Gu Fanghan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.

……

The residence of Princess Anle.

Looking at Yin Liuli, who was fast asleep, Madam Zhen and Granny Jin felt so sorry for her that they didn't know what to do.

The two couldn't bear to leave, so they stayed by the bedside.

Zhen's eyes reddened, and she softly complained.

"This child, how can he not take care of himself at all? Look how exhausted he is!"

"That's right! The young lady was summoned in the middle of the night to save someone, but she didn't get a good reception from the princess and was even kicked out?"

Granny Jin's face turned pale with anger. She spat softly and said through gritted teeth,

"That Princess Chengyi, she just doesn't like our young lady!"

Madam Zhen stroked Yin Liuli's cheek, shook her head and sighed.

"Liuli did it for Yan'er... Yan'er is a good child, and he is sincere towards Liuli."

But I really don't understand, the two children are such a perfect match, why does the princess have to separate them?

Granny Jin spat and said angrily,

"Let them break up then. This old servant doesn't believe that our eldest daughter, a woman of such stature, can't find a good husband."

"Miss, in my opinion, her eldest brother is quite good. Although he comes from an ordinary background, he is exceptionally talented and handsome, and he is truly devoted to our young lady..."

Madam Zhen smiled wryly, "I think that child is quite good, but Liuli has to like him!"

In my opinion, Liuli's heart still belongs to Yan'er...

"Madam, something terrible has happened! The princess is here!"

A maid rushed over and stood at the door, saying, "We told her the eldest daughter was asleep, but she started making a scene, demanding to see us. She was so aggressive, it was quite frightening..."

"What is she doing here?"

Zhen's heart tightened, and she quickly got up. "Granny, stay and watch over Liuli. I'll go check on her."

"Mother, don't go out."

Yin Liuli slowly opened her eyes, lazily yawned, and said, "Have someone tell her that if she wants to see me, she can bow every three steps and kowtow every five steps."

She anticipated that Cheng Yi would come.

It's different when she's willing to save someone herself versus when Cheng Yi begs her to save someone.

She, Yin Liuli, wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"Liuli, she's a princess... Is this... is this alright?"

Mrs. Zhen looked at her daughter in surprise.

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly. "When she insulted me, she should have known I wasn't someone to be trifled with."

"What? Not only did she not come out to greet me, but she also dared to make me..."

Cheng Yi's face darkened, and she was about to lose her temper.

Gu Fanghan gave her a cold look. "What did Miss Liuli say to you back then?"

Cheng Yi pursed her lips deeply, and after a long while, she took a breath and said,

"Put down the sedan chair! I... I'll go beg right away!"
