Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 265 Hu Bugui

As the fire in Dong'an City subsided, the victims who had been sheltered in Prince Xian's Mansion also left. Although their faces were sad, as long as they were still alive, there was hope for a new beginning.

In addition, Su Qing had already sent the palace guards to rescue, so very few people took the opportunity to cause trouble.

As the daughter of a general, Jiang Miaojin was quite dignified when she was in charge of the family. She first sent someone to the Jiang family to see if her parents and brothers were safe.

Afterwards, he arranged for the servants in the mansion to go out and help. Although the supplies were not much, it was a timely help.

The scholars waited until the end before leaving, apparently hoping to meet King Xian and express their gratitude in person. However, they did not wait for King Xian to return home, so they said they would come back another day.

At this point, Prince Xian's Mansion finally returned to peace. Jiang Miaojin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiaodouzi who was squatting at the door.

The little boy clutched a toy-like sword in his hand, looking rather out of place. His mother had long since left, and it was he who had insisted on staying here.

The proprietress thought that there was no place in Dong'an City safer than Prince Xian's Mansion. After getting Jiang Miaojin's consent, she immediately left her son behind and ran away with many thanks.

Jiang Miaojin asked, "It's too chaotic outside. Do you want to come in and wait?"

Xiaodouzi shook his head, very stubborn.

Jiang Miaojin didn't bother to talk to him anymore, thinking that she was also a stubborn donkey when she was young. So she returned to the main hall of the mansion alone, only to find Zhuque talking to Hongling.

Facing that ugly woman who was setting fires everywhere in Dong'an City, she really couldn't force a smile, so she looked a little serious.

Zhuque tried to smooth things over, saying, "Good Miaojin, don't be so stern. My sister is also following orders."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaojin said to Hong Ling, "I know the truth, but...sigh."

"Actually, it's a good thing that it was my elder sister who started the fire. After recognizing me, she took the initiative to put away the Unknowing Karma Fire. Otherwise, Dong'an City would have burned even more miserably."

"Suzaku, do you know how to comfort people?"

Hong Ling had no interest in talking to Jiang Miaojin. She just kept looking at her sister, unwilling to look away.

As they were talking, Yun Yi suddenly returned to Prince Xian's Mansion, with a confused Xiaodouzi following behind him.

The child thought, how come Master Jianxian has a different face when he comes back after going out?

"What are you arguing about?" Yun Yi said, but his eyes were fixed on Hong Ling.

Without waiting for Zhuque to introduce him, Hongling took the initiative to ask, "Are you Yun Yi?"

"Exactly."

"How are Helian Ran and the others?"

"I've already sent you away. What are you going to do next? Are you going back to Dayan too?"

Hong Ling showed hesitation, and Zhu Que immediately took her arm, "What are you still thinking about? You agreed to stay with me."

"Of course I want to never be separated from you again, but I have something important to do. I'll come find you when I'm done."

"What's going on? Is it dangerous?"

"It's just a small matter." Hong Ling would only smile when facing her sister. When she looked at Yun Yi, her eyes were extremely cold and her expression was unfriendly.

She asked, "Do you like Suzaku?"

Yun Yi was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Of course."

"In that case, you must protect her. When I'm done, I'll go to the Sword Burial Valley to find you two. If Suzaku is wronged by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Don't worry, it's good enough that she doesn't bully me."

Hong Ling glared at Yun Yi and suddenly said, "Then do you dare to try the True Heart Spring?"

Suzaku: "Sister!"

Hong Ling had a look of disappointment on her face: "You... forget it."

She waved her hand, gave her sister a final hug after a long separation, and then left Prince Xian's Mansion.

Yun Yi looked in the direction she left and said, "I wonder what the little thing she's talking about is." Unexpectedly, Suzaku wasn't sad at all. Instead, she looked even more lively than before. She said proudly, "I just placed the 'Si Jing Gu' on my sister. If she's in danger, I can sense it immediately."

"Tsk tsk, worthy of you."

"Hmph, I advise you not to mess with me. I have three backers behind me now: my young lady, Senior Pei, and my biological sister."

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid."

The two of them laughed and joked around, but Jiang Miaojin looked a little melancholy.

She asked, "Are you leaving?"

Yun Yi nodded and said, "I have already told Su Qing about your situation. In a few days, she will announce that Prince Xian Su Xin has devoted himself to cultivation and has divorced Princess Xian."

Jiang Miaojin smiled and said, "Then I have to move out of Prince Xian's Mansion. I've lived here for so long, I'm really reluctant to leave."

"Su Qing's meaning is that this Xianwang Mansion is given to you. You can change the name to whatever you want. It will be the royal family's compensation to you."

"Then I will be respectfully declined. However, you don't need to change your name for now. The name of King Xian is well-known and can help me avoid many troubles."

Yun Yi: "It's up to you."

Jiang Miaojin: "After this separation, I'm afraid we'll hardly meet again. After all, you and Suzaku are both cultivators with long lifespans, while I'm just a mere mortal who will age in the blink of an eye."

Zhuque hugged Jiang Miaojin and comforted her, "Don't be so sad. I will definitely come to see you often."

"Liar is a puppy?"

"Liar is a puppy!"

Although the two women had only known each other for a few days, they felt that they had met too late. Now that they were about to part, they were really reluctant to do so.

Yun Yi didn't bother them and turned to look at Xiao Douzi. "Have you decided to learn sword?"

"I told my mother about it, and she's eager for me to go out and learn some skills!"

"Having said that, we still need to go see your mother later and help her solve some worldly problems."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate...it's obviously the disciple who should give the master a gift..."

"There's no rush for these. You can return them when you grow up." Yun Yi touched the top of Xiaodouzi's head. "By the way, what's your full name?"

Xiaodouzi answered obediently, "My name is Dou Li."

"Dou Li?" Yun Yi was stunned after hearing this, thinking, wow, the little Dou Jianxian who was famous in the previous life is right in front of him!

This young Dou Jianxian emerged out of nowhere when he was a teenager. He was hailed as a sword genius that only appears once in a thousand years. He is a new generation of influential figure after Feng Mo and Song Xinci.

I didn't expect that such a treasure would be kidnapped today.

Dou Li asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Yi pulled himself out of his memories and said happily, "It's nothing. I'll just study sword skills well in the future."

After the two women who were crying and laughing finally returned to normal, Yun Yi and his group set off.

Jiang Miaojin looked at the empty Prince Xian's Mansion and felt a little uncomfortable.

It's strange. It was like this in the mansion before. Now that I'm free again, why do I seem to have become so spoiled?
She went to the back garden with a heavy heart, intending to spend time with the flowers and plants.

Anyway, this is how she has been living in the past few years.

Suddenly, Jiang Miaojin's eyes fell on a brand new pink flower bud.

Her eyes sparkled with wonder as she murmured, "The Hu Bugui he gave me...actually blossomed?"

It’s a pity that flowers may not bear fruit, and the beloved may not return.
