ving said that, he beckoned to the side. A plump old eunuch emerged abruptly from the darkness.Dugu Yuan knew this man. He was Mei Yongcheng, the Empress Dowager's personal eunuch, who had served by h...Tao Ran was taken aback at first, then said with some caution: "Dean Ye, this seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it"

It's no wonder he reacted that way. Being asked such a question on the first meeting would leave anyone with some doubts, regardless of who they are.

"Well, that is..."

Along the way, Ye Bufan had already thought up what to say, "Senior Brother Tao, my father had a biological daughter before his death, and it was even twins."

One of them is Chu Lingxi, whom you just met, and the other one was lost when she was young. Her father has been searching for her for many years, but he hasn't found her yet.

He passed away a few days ago. Even at the end of his life, he couldn't let go of this matter and wished to find his lost daughter.

"To be honest, I didn't have any hope at first. But since you just mistook my younger sister, Chu Lingxi, for the princess, it means they must look very similar, right That's why I wanted to ask Senior Brother Tao about it."

"Oh, I see!"

Tao Ran suddenly realized, no wonder Ye Bufan's eyes were so eager, it turned out he was looking for his own sister.

He believed it so easily because Chu Lingxi and Situ Dianmo were too alike. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mistaken them just now.

"Well then, I shall tell Dean Ye the truth."

Tao Ran said, "The name of the princess consort of Situ is Situ Dianmo. She is the newly married princess consort of His Royal Highness, Duke Wang of Dashun Empire."

Ye Bufan immediately asked urgently: "What do you mean You've already become the princess of your king When did this happen"

Given the previous context, Tao Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with his reaction. He said: “A month ago, the imperial family of the Dashun Empire held a betrothal ceremony.”

Kōshān Wang Dàrén officially announced that he was going to take a concubine, and that was also when I first met Sītú Wangfēi.

But this is just an engagement, the formal marriage will have to wait a while longer.

He calculated with his fingers, “From today, there are exactly thirty days left. In thirty days, King Zaoshan and Madam Sitou will get married. If Dean Ye arrives in time, he can just make it to the wedding celebration.”

Ye Bufan asked several more questions, confirming that the wife of Si Tu was indeed Si Tu Dian Mo he was looking for.

What exactly is Si Tu Dian Mo's situation now Is he injured Why is he associating with Wang Koushan These things remain unknown.

But we can't ask anymore, if we ask too many questions, it might arouse suspicion.

Tao Ran didn't stay for too long either. After chatting with him for a few words, he bid farewell and returned to his own courtyard.

After he left, Chu Lingxi, Lu Xue Man and others immediately walked in. They had already noticed something was wrong with Ye Bufan.

After entering, Chu Lingxi asked, "Dean, what is going on Why did that person call me Princess"

She also sensed something, maybe she was similar to someone, after all Ye Bufan had mistaken her for someone else before.

"Because you and my long-lost friend look so much alike..."

Ye Bufan said a few simple words, then folded his arms behind him and paced anxiously in the room.

He didn't know the specifics of Si Tu Dian Mo's situation, but one thing was certain: this marriage must have been forced upon her, it definitely wasn't something she wanted.

Thinking about this, he asked: "Which of you knows how far the Imperial City of the Dàshùn Empire is from here My friend is in some trouble, and I need to go save her."

Due to the complexity of his own affairs and those involving Situ Dianmo, he did not offer much explanation to the others.

Lu Xue man said: "The Dashun Empire is very far from the Daxing Empire. It takes five or six days to travel by flying monster."

Even at the speed of nine days, it would probably take more than three days. If you go to save people at this time, you're probably going to miss the newcomer ranking competition.

Hu Yaoyao said: "Little brother, there's no need to rush this. After the competition, everyone will go with you, and we'll solve any difficulties together."

Others nodded in agreement as well.

Ye Bufan calculated in his heart, wanting to save people before the competition started, but there was simply not enough time.

Now that Si Tu Dian Mo needs saving, the newcomer ranked match is something you can't miss either.

According to Tao Ran, the wedding date is still a month away, and she can go after finishing the competition.

And he calmed down, his thoughts became much clearer. With his current cultivation, going there probably wouldn't be of any help; he needed to focus on recovering his cultivation as soon as possible.

In a world where power reigns supreme, one must possess sufficient strength to save others. Otherwise, venturing into such a realm would be futile.

At this point, he made a decision: he had to get the Red Juicy Fruit first and restore his cultivation to its peak state before figuring out how to go to the Great Shun Empire.

Lingxiao Academy is one of the largest academies in the entire Kunlun Continent, with branches in all five major states. The branch in Tianluo State is located in Daxing Empire's capital city.

At this moment, Zheng Yiheng has changed out of the rough clothes he had stolen and dressed himself up as a refined gentleman.

Only his bruised and battered face, which hadn't fully recovered, still looked somewhat disheveled.

He stepped into a room where two middle-aged men sat, looking somewhat alike. They were his father, Zheng Long, and his uncle, Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei asked, "Heng'er, what exactly happened How did you become like this"

His expression was not good. He already knew some things about Zheng Yiheng's matter. Anyway, he was the Great Elder of Daxing Empire Lingxiao Academy.

Now that his nephew has been robbed right under his nose and beaten like this, he simply can't explain it away.

"Father, Uncle Two, it's like this..."

As for his own father and uncle, Zheng Yiheng did not conceal anything, explaining the matter from beginning to end.

Zheng Long asked with a sullen face, "You mean that little girl who's at the Nascent Soul stage beat you like this"

"Of course not, that cunning bitch must be hiding her cultivation. I can't even tell her exact level, I suspect she's at least at the peak of the Refining Void Realm."

Are you sure those people are from the Lingxiao Academy of the Heavenly Peak Empire

Upon hearing that the other party actually possessed a flying artifact, Zheng Wei's eyebrows twitched slightly, followed by a thoughtful expression.

What happened at Ti Feng Empire's Ling Xiao Academy back then, he knew it better than anyone. When Li Dao Ran came to ask for help, he was the one who shut his door and refused to see him.

I thought that a branch of this small country would naturally die out, and I didn't care.

But I didn't expect to suddenly participate in the newcomer ranking match today, and even beat my nephew like this.

"Yes, it was clearly written on their robes - Tianfeng Empire's Lingxiao Academy. And by their accents, those people were indeed from the Tianfeng Empire."

"Damn it, this is upside down! A nobody from a tiny empire like Tianfeng dares to touch my son!"

"Right now, we're going to the station. Today, we absolutely have to win this back, otherwise people will really think the Zheng family is easy to bully!"

Zheng Long originally thought the other party was from a powerful empire, and he was somewhat apprehensive. Now that he heard they were from Lingxiao Academy in the Tianfeng Empire, he was instantly furious.

After finishing his words, he stood up and grabbed Zheng Yihe, striding aggressively towards the door.uld we set the odds for tomorrow's match between Ye Bufan and the Crown Prince""For such a trivial matter, do you need to ask me"As a prince, how could he possibly concern himself with such trivial ma...
