"..."
Dongfang Yaoe's mouth twitched and she directly crushed the invitation letter in her hand into fine powder.
"Go, and tell the Observatory about this." Dongfang Yaoe's face darkened slightly, "If there is no response from Shengjing, leave Lai State."
The maid was slightly stunned, "Go, where?"
"Southwest."
Dongfang Yaoe closed her eyes. If things truly spiraled beyond control, the Southwest would be the only place to secure a foothold.
Only Dongfang Xinglan, this niece of hers, could guarantee safety.
Although Dongfang Xinglan inford Dongfang Zhen about this matter to sow discord between Shengjing and Prince Ning, as the rebel leader, Dongfang Xinglan ventured this far to report this, at least it showed she cared for the Eastern Royal Family.
Even though this 'care' was likely her way to garner more support from the royal family, so what?
Right now, indeed only Dongfang Xinglan would protect the royal family.
"And the Prince Mansion...?" the maid cautiously asked, "Don't care about it?"
Dongfang Yaoe's eyes flickered slightly, "Care, but not now."
She stood up and walked outside, "First, contact the other royal family mbers."
In the distance, Dongfang Xinglan watched Dongfang Yaoe leave the village, her expression under the face mask remained unperturbed.
High in the sky, the hawk circled and descended. Dongfang Xinglan took out a letter, looking at the few words on it.
Zhao Junshan moved south, the troops of Shang, Jing, and Tong three states set camp.
Dongfang Xinglan clenched her right hand, driving her horse southward, whether the situation could be turned depended on the result of this battle.

Eastern Realm, Qingfeng Domain.
In the secret realm, Xiao Yinruo stood silently above the Sky Do, quietly watching Lu Jin'an in the heavenly tribulation.
She was no longer concerned about Zhiyu's crossing tribulation, for she saw the black feather imbued with Pei Wanyu's demon energy.
This black feather entirely masked the Dragon Breath in the heavenly tribulation, thus to outsiders, Zhiyu's crossing tribulation was rely that of a normal Tribulation Crossing Realm practitioner's heavenly tribulation.
However, even though Xiao Yinruo seed unconcerned, she was not particularly happy.
Because she clearly saw Zhiyu's four Dragon Claws deeply embedded into Lu Jin'an's abdon and thighs.
Although the bleeding had stopped, and while there were many more severe wounds, at this mont Xiao Yinruo found it shocking to behold.
Given her current stance, she truly couldn't bear to see this little rascal hurt.
Though her emotions slightly wavered, the Forget Love Path rippled like water, and she hurriedly operated the Supre Forget Love Immortal Technique, but...
Their eyes t.
Lu Jin'an looked directly toward this direction, Xiao Yinruo felt slightly surprised, was this little rascal's perception so keen?
Was it related to his domain...
As she thought this, she saw Lu Jin'an slightly open his mouth, "Aunt Ruo."
Looking at Lu Jin'an and Zhiyu who had just about finished crossing tribulation, Xiao Yinruo hesitated for a mont before appearing in his sight.
Her peach blossom eyes involuntarily softened with tenderness, she walked over lightly, ignored Zhiyu's heavenly tribulation, and stopped by Lu Jin'an's side, "You found ."
"You weren't trying hard to hide either."
Lu Jin'an spoke as he took a deep breath, the rich and elegant fragrance emanating from Xiao Yinruo was enchanting and provocative.
Long ti no see, his body, dormant for so long, instantly reacted more intensely to Xiao Yinruo's presence.
Under the heavenly tribulation, his clothes turned to ashes, and Xiao Yinruo clearly saw the changes where Zhiyu's Dragon Tail wrapped around.
A spear erges like a dragon.
Xiao Yinruo lightly bit her red lips, though she touched nothing, her delicate body felt a strange numbing sensation that spread from her heart throughout her body.
The elegant body fragrance was like night fireflies in the water breeze, mingling with a peculiar exotic scent into Lu Jin'an's nose.
He stared intently at Xiao Yinruo, listening to her slightly quickened breaths and couldn't help but smile, "Aunt Ruo, after so long not seeing , do you miss ?"
Xiao Yinruo knelt properly, hands gently placed on her thighs, her pretty face blushed, and she lightly nodded with an "Mm" pronouncing softly.
Her blushing face conveyed more than any words of affection could.
"I missed you too." As Lu Jin'an spoke, he reached to hold Xiao Yinruo's warm and delicate hand, "After sending the ssage, I knew you'd definitely be the first to co, after all, Qingmiao Palace is close, and from an outsider's perspective, there's no intimate connection between us."
Xiao Yinruo turned her hand to hold his large hand, smiled gently, "Aunt thinks just like you."
"Really?" Lu Jin'an asked while gently lifting Xiao Yinruo's chin with his hand, examining the elegant and gentle contours of her face, "Aunt Ruo looks even more beautiful."
Xiao Yinruo gently bit her lower lip, being watched like this made her feel increasingly shy, but deep down it was mostly joy.
With eyes slightly lowered, she said with a slight tremor, "Still have the mind to tease your Aunt, doesn't it hurt?"
"Seeing you, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Yinruo glanced at him with tender affection, then lowered her head to look at the already asleep Zhiyu, she knew this was a phenonon common when a demon beast was crossing tribulation.
During the late stage of the heavenly tribulation, they adapt to the changes after crossing tribulation in sleep.
She reached out, directly picking up the sleeping Zhiyu from Lu Jin'an's leg, looked at the bloody holes in Lu Jin'an's abdon and thighs, her tone carrying concern, "There's no need for this, you know."
"It's a small problem." Lu Jin'an said nonchalantly, his wounds healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You really dote on this little dragon."
"As a disciple, of course, one needs to be doted on." Lu Jin'an stood up and moved his limbs, "Learned this from my master."
Xiao Yinruo's nostrils flared as she slled the burnt scent from Lu Jin'an's body being struck by lightning, and couldn't help but ask, "How long has it been since you bathed?"
"Hm?" Lu Jin'an was taken aback, quickly slled himself, "Not slly... but indeed a long ti without washing, in the Eastern Dynasty, I couldn't use spiritual power... a matter of pinching a technique."
Xiao Yinruo quickly held onto his wrist, "When will you return to the Eastern Dynasty?"
"Not counting the travel ti, there's still one day left."
"That's enough." Xiao Yinruo stared at him, softly speaking, "Aunt will help you wash up, okay?"
Lu Jin'an looked down at Xiao Yinruo sitting upright, holding a little dark dragon in her left hand, and agreed without hesitation, "Sure."
In the secret realm, a White Jade Palace quietly appeared, followed by several barriers unfolding.
Inside the palace, the deeply sleeping Zhiyu was tossed onto the bed by Xiao Yinruo, in the bath pool, water sounds murmured.
