I manage female characters in all the heavens.

She's about to destroy the martial arts world, but the main quest hasn't progressed at all. To be honest, I really feel bad for Yaoyue.

But, Yaoyue, you're really crazy.

Why would a normal person ask such a trivial question in this situation?

Lord Yingri sighed, perhaps in Yaoyue's eyes, this was a bigger matter than a decisive battle with the entire martial arts world.

She was somewhat unhappy with Yaoyue's questioning.

But considering that Yaoyue was his senior sister and that she was indeed so beautiful that it made people drool, he decided not to fly back to Yihua Palace and beat her up first.

She turned to Jiang Yuyan and instructed, "Yuyan, I'll give you the information about that heartless man later. Go and retrieve his head and send it back to Yihua Palace."

She paused, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "Remember, hand it to Yaoyue personally in an impolite manner."

"With your martial arts skills, which are no less than hers, you can make her angry and helpless, then quickly run back so she can't hit you and stay in the Yihua Palace sulking."

"Let's bully her!"

"By the way, please also pass on a message to Senior Sister Lianxing for me—I'm not going back, so she doesn't need to worry, we will definitely win this battle."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Jiang Yuyan's eyes: "Yuyan understands! I will certainly not fail Lord Yingri's trust!"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuyan bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left.

Watching Jiang Yuyan's departing figure, Lord Yingri lay back down on the soft couch, closed his eyes, and a contented smile appeared on his lips.

"Yu Feng, come and serve me. Your sister has gone to work!"

Jiang Yufeng looked up from a pile of documents when she heard Lord Yingri's voice.

She glanced at the countless martial arts manuals that Lord Yingri had haphazardly tossed to her, which she could never possibly organize, and scratched her head.

"Never mind, these things can be done anytime. Serving Lord Yingri is more important right now."

She ran off, cheering with joy.

One day later.

Western Sichuan, Xiuyu Valley, Yihua Palace.

A white figure swept across the valley like lightning and landed steadily in front of the Yihua Palace gate.

Jiang Yuyan was carrying a wooden box containing a human head—the head of that unfaithful man whose name no one knew.

She stepped into Xiuyu Valley, passed through the Qimen Dunjia formation, and arrived at the gate of Yihua Palace.

The two gatekeepers were taken aback when they saw her, then shouted sternly, "Who are you? How did you get in?!"

Xiuyu Valley is protected by the Xuanji Array, yet someone managed to sneak up in front of the Yihua Palace without anyone noticing. It was quite a fright!

Jiang Yuyan nodded slightly, her tone calm: "Is the Grand Palace Master here? I am Jiang Yuyan, Lord Yingri's maid, and I have come to deliver something on Lord Yingri's orders."

The two disciples were immediately overjoyed: "So you are the Third Palace Master's people! Please come in!"

"The Grand Palace Master is in the Invitation Moon Palace. Please follow me."

There's no need to carefully verify their identities; the title of Third Palace Master is now invincible within the Yihua Palace.

Besides, since they're being taken to see the Grand Palace Master anyway, the Grand Palace Master will naturally handle any problems that arise.

Surely a Grand Palace Master wouldn't refuse to do such a small thing?

Inviting the Moon, how much longer do you intend to freeload at the Flower Palace?!

A disciple led Jiang Yuyan through numerous palaces to the front of the Invitation Moon Hall.

The palace doors were tightly shut, and a chilling aura emanated from within.

The disciple leading the way knelt respectfully before the hall: "Reporting to the Grand Palace Master, Jiang Yuyan, a disciple of Palace Master Yingri, requests an audience, saying that she has been ordered by the Palace Master to bring something."

Please add a "three" in the middle when you refer to the Lord of Yingri Palace!

There was a moment of silence in the hall, then Yaoyue's clear, aloof voice rang out: "Come in."

The palace doors slowly opened, and Jiang Yuyan stepped inside.

Inside the hall, Yaoyue sat high on a white jade throne, her body shrouded in a faint chill. Her peerless face was expressionless, and she looked indifferently at Jiang Yuyan who had entered.

Jiang Yuyan walked to the center of the hall, stopped, and bowed slightly: "Greetings, Grand Palace Master."

Yaoyue asked calmly, "What did Yingri ask you to deliver?"

Jiang Yuyan straightened up, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips, and then—she tossed the wooden box in her hand right at Yaoyue's feet!

The wooden box rolled twice on the ground, the lid opened, and a human head rolled out and stopped at Yaoyue's feet.

Yaoyue's gaze fell on the head of that person, and she raised an eyebrow slightly.

Jiang Yuyan clapped her hands and said casually, "This is the unfaithful man you asked about. Lord Yingri said that he was too busy before and forgot about this matter. Now he is making up for it."

She paused, then added, "Lord Yingri also said that you shouldn't bother her with such trivial matters anymore. She's too busy killing and setting fires to care about your love affairs. You should be more considerate."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Insolence!" This is incredibly rude! I'm going to kill someone!

Yaoyue suddenly stood up, and a vast expanse of cold energy burst forth from her body!

With a wave of her right hand, an icy blue palm print materialized out of thin air, carrying the power to freeze everything, and struck Jiang Yuyan directly in the back!

She had used ninety percent of her strength in this palm strike, enough to severely injure any top expert on the spot!

However, as if Jiang Yuyan had eyes in the back of her head, she didn't turn around and just flicked her left hand behind her!

A surge of equally icy and bone-chilling true energy flowed from her sleeve, transforming into a dark blue ice wall that blocked her path!

Bang!

The palm print slammed into the ice wall, producing a dull, loud thud!

The ice wall shattered, and the palm print vanished with it.

Jiang Yuyan remained motionless and continued walking out of the hall without looking back.

Yaoyue's pupils contracted slightly.

This Jiang Yuyan... actually easily withstood her angry slap.

Moreover, that true energy... clearly followed the Mingyu Gong style, yet it was neither quite the same nor quite the same, carrying a strange and demonic quality.

While it may not be as cold as the true energy of the ninth level of Mingyu, it has a greater influence on the spiritual level, and its power is no less than that of the true energy of the ninth level of Mingyu!

In that last move, they were evenly matched.

Is this just one of Yingri's maids?

Yaoyue was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface. She snorted coldly, and with a swift movement, she was about to chase after him.

However, Jiang Yuyan's figure had already transformed into a white lightning bolt, darting out of Yaoyue Palace and disappearing into the depths of the courtyard, leaving only a string of crisp laughter echoing in the air:

"Grand Palace Master, please calm down. Yu Yan takes her leave. Lord Ying Ri said that if you want to hit her, she will personally beat you when she returns, and she will beat your butt until it is swollen."

The sound, amplified by the power of true energy, reverberated throughout the entire Yihua Palace. Hundreds of Yihua Palace disciples heard it clearly, their faces beaming with excitement.

The fact that the Palace Master Yingri wanted to beat the Grand Palace Master's buttocks until they were swollen clearly indicated that he was about to rebel.

Excellent! My Flower Palace has been eagerly awaiting your arrival for so long! This is the way to fight!

Yaoyue stood at the palace gate, her face ashen, a chill emanating from her, but she ultimately did not chase after them.

Jiang Yuyan's lightness skill is extremely fast; even if you chase after her, you might not be able to catch up.

More importantly... Jiang Yuyan's martial arts skills are indeed no less than hers.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the exchange of blows just now had made her realize this clearly.

Where did Yingri find this monster? Or is she just her maid?

Why do I never encounter this kind of thing?!

Actually, you also encountered it, except that you encountered Yingri.

Yaoyue took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and turned back into the hall.

She looked down at the severed head on the ground, then looked up in the direction where Jiang Yuyan had disappeared, a look of frustration flashing in her eyes.

"Tie Xinlan...you've certainly found a good dog."

She snorted coldly, and with a wave of her hand, the head and the wooden box were frozen into an ice sculpture, then shattered into powder and dissipated into the air.

"I'll settle this score with you when you get back."

Her voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a hint of resentment, a hint of anger, and a hint of... confusion that she herself did not even realize.

Meanwhile, inside the Lianxing Pavilion.

Lianxing was sitting by the window, holding a scroll of sheet music in her hands, but she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

She was filled with worry.

Can my junior sister really win?

With 60,000 troops from the Demon Extermination Alliance, including Yan Nantian, Lu Zhongyuan, Xie Guiyuan, Wei Wuya, and many other experts, can Junior Sister really handle it all by herself?

It's only been four months since my junior sister entered the Yihua Palace. Four months ago, she was only able to survive a single move by relying on a small amount of strategic intent that she had unexpectedly mastered at that age.

In just four months, it has reached such an earth-shattering level?

You have to understand that Lu Zhongyuan alone was a formidable enemy that she wasn't confident she could defeat, not to mention Yan Nantian, who once forced her and her sister to hide their faces.

Seeing a white figure disappear quickly from the Inviting Moon Palace in the distance, and hearing the sound that resounded throughout the Shifting Flower Palace, she put down the sheet music, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room.

No, she can't just wait like this.

She was going to Anqing to help her junior sister.

There's nothing I can do, but at least... at least I should stand with my junior sister.

She took a deep breath, made her decision, then pushed open the door and went out to catch up with Jiang Yuyan, who had been waiting there specifically to relay Lord Yingri's words.

"No need to say anything more, I'll go to Anqing with you and hear it from my junior sister in person," Lianxing said, getting straight to the point.

Jiang Yuyan's words caught in her throat, and she froze for a moment.

Lord Eiri, was this something you expected?

One day later, at the Anqing City Lord's Mansion.
