Wu Lingduo was unaware that even she, the so-called saintess, had to yield to the chosen one.

She was lying in bed receiving treatment from a southern barbarian shaman.

With her natal Gu being devoured, she also lost half her life. Without top-tier natural treasures to nourish her, her body would be ruined.

So, what kind of saint is she?

Wu Lingduo shed tears of grievance.

The wizard who treated her glanced at her, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes; this new saintess was truly unlucky.

A flame of resentment flickered in Wu Lingduo's eyes. She sent someone to deliver a message to Su Jinyu and Rong Qing, requesting their help.

At the Dongchen Inn, Su Jinyu received Wu Ling's request for help and told Pei Shiliang about it.

Pei Shiliang said, "This Wulingduo can be put to use."

"Uncle, what do you plan to do?" Su Jinyu asked.

His eyes were full of calculation.

Pei Shiliang didn't directly reveal how he would use Wu Lingduo; instead, he changed the subject, asking, "Do you know anything about Rong Qing's background?"

"Rong Qing is a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, and is the young master and successor of the Xuanhuang Sect," Su Jinyu said.

Pei Shiliang nodded. "The Qihuang sect may seem to be out of the public eye, but it actually holds a high position. Jinyu, you need to win over Rong Qing."

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know," Su Jinyu said.

Pei Shiliang glanced at him. "You've seemed distracted lately. Is something on your mind?"

Su Jinyu was slightly taken aback, and after a moment, he said with a gloomy expression, "Uncle, I have something on my mind. That Crown Prince of Beixuan is always a troublemaker."

Pei Shiliang said, "How could I not know? However, that Crown Prince of Beixuan is destined to die young, so there's no need to worry about him. Do you know who the truly troublesome person is?"

Su Jinyu was stunned: "Does Uncle refer to Emperor Cangxuan?"

Pei Shiliang shook his head: "No. Emperor Cangxuan will grow old. His crown prince is weak and will not live long. His other princes are not outstanding, so he is not a threat."

Su Jinyu was stunned. "Then... who is your maternal uncle?"

"It's Ying Yufu, whom the abbot of Baiyu Temple called a lucky star of the world!" Pei Shiliang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ying Yufu can regenerate Shangguan Hu's severed arm, can instantly heal a seriously injured person, and can even make people speak the truth... All these signs indicate that this Ying Yufu is a variable."

She might actually have the ability to grant immortality, and even the Crown Prince of Beixuan might live a long and healthy life until old age.

That's the truly terrifying part!

Upon hearing Pei Shiliang's words, Su Jinyu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Uncle is right, this Ying Yufu is indeed extraordinary!"

Pei Shiliang said, "I'm afraid it's not just us, but even Xilin and the Southern Barbarians have noticed her."

Such a woman, if I cannot have her…

Pei Shiliang suddenly sighed: "Immortality, who wouldn't want that? It would be a real pity to kill her. We must get her, we absolutely must get her!"

If we can't have it, we absolutely won't allow anyone else to have it either.

Su Jinyu was shocked, feeling as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart. How could such a woman be the Crown Prince of Beixuan?

Su Jinyu clenched his fists abruptly: "Uncle, the Crown Prince of Beixuan is of the Nangong family bloodline. Why does the Nangong family have this opportunity? I refuse to accept it!"

Pei Shiliang looked at him and said, "Normally, this woman should be offered to Prince Chen. Only Prince Chen is worthy of having such a woman."

But the situation is special now. This woman's existence is like a shining jewel, and everyone wants to seize her.

"We at Dongchen certainly can't miss such a good opportunity. Now that we're in a prime position, the timing is perfect. Find an excuse for you to be alone with her, and then..."

Su Jinyu's breathing suddenly became heavy, and two blazing flames burned in his eyes.

He was very curious about what kind of expression the Crown Prince of Beixuan would have at that time.

Su Jinyu felt elated, his eyes filled with greed.

"Uncle, what should we do with Wu Lingduo?" he asked again after calming down.

"The Southern Barbarians have seemed to keep a low profile these past few years, but they have been secretly plotting all along. They are willing to offer a huge amount of treasures for a prince's concubine. There is probably something fishy about that prince's concubine. Keep an eye on her."

As for Wu Lingduo, there's no rush; we'll need her when necessary.

"Uncle, I understand. I will write to Wu Lingduo now and tell her not to worry, I will definitely help her."

Pei Shiliang nodded.

Ying Yufu and Shangguan Sheng had no intention of returning to the Mu residence, but a servant from the Mu residence came to deliver a message saying that Princess Xilin was still lingering and insisted on seeing Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu is simply unbelievable.

"How could she do this?" Ying Yufu said hurriedly, bid farewell to Shangguan Fei, and hurriedly returned to the Mu residence with Shangguan Sheng.

It was already quite late when Ying Yufu returned and saw Princess Chiyue sitting in the front hall, being talked to by Shangguan Tang.

"It's so late, I feel really bad for troubling you to talk to me here, Madam."

"Madam, why don't you arrange for me to stay next to Princess Anguo's residence for the night before you return?"

As soon as Ying Yufu entered, she heard Princess Chiyue say that she wanted to stay overnight.

"Princess Chiyue, there are plenty of places to stay at the inn. I will prepare a carriage now and have someone escort you back to rest," Ying Yufu said as she entered with a stern face.

"Fu'er." Upon seeing Ying Yufu return, Shangguan Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This Princess Chiyue was simply too troublesome; she couldn't be driven away no matter what.

"Mother, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll take care of things here." Shangguan Tang nodded, knowing that staying wouldn't make any difference, and left with her entourage.

"Take care, Madam. We'll meet again tomorrow." Chi Yue waved to Shangguan Tang's retreating figure.

Shangguan Tang quickened his pace as he left.

Princess Red Key has a really thick skin.

Ying Yufu glared at Princess Chiyue with a dark expression. "Princess Chiyue, you are a princess of a nation. It's not right for you to stay in my house all the time."

Princess Chiyue looked heartbroken: "Sister Anguo, I genuinely wanted to get along with you. Can't you see my sincerity?"

Ying Yufu was so angry that black smoke seemed to rise from her head. She asked, "Are you leaving or not?"

"Don't go, don't go, let me stay overnight, Sister Anguo~" Chiyue stepped forward and took Ying Yufu's hand.

Ying Yufu pushed her away. "Fine, fine, if you don't want to leave, then you can stay in the courtyard next door. But you have to leave first thing tomorrow morning, understand?"

If you don't leave by tomorrow, I will send the Western Lin envoy to escort you away!

Ying Yufu turned and left angrily.

Princess Chiyao watched the retreating figure, a smile appearing on her face, and quickly followed after him.

Back in her room, after washing up, Ying Yufu was just about to go to bed when another voice came from outside the door.

"Sister Anguo, I have trouble sleeping in a new bed, I can't sleep alone, I want to sleep with you!"

The veins on Ying Yufu's forehead bulged out immediately. She could no longer bear it and turned around to stride outside.

Just as he was about to open the door and berate Princess Chiyue, Shangguan Sheng's voice rang out from outside.

"Princess Red Key!" The voice was sinister.

Princess Chiyue turned her head and met Shangguan Sheng's dark eyes.

Shangguan Sheng looked at her coldly: "Are you really going to sleep with my sister? Prince Chi! Yao!!"
