Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The Southern Barbarian Inn was suddenly surrounded by the Thousand Feather Army, and the two high priests, Lan Yan and Xuan Feng, entered the palace with grim expressions.

The Mu Residence.

Ying Hengzhi was tied up, and she lay in the woodshed unable to sleep, communicating with System 008.

"Mythical Beast, the envoys from the Southern Barbarians should have received my letter, right?"

System 008 fell silent.

【What's wrong, myna bird? Why aren't you saying anything?】

System 008 said: [Of course it was successful. The Southern Barbarian envoy received your letter and indeed disguised himself as a Taoist priest to sow discord at the Third Prince's residence.]

However, their disguise as Taoist priests was discovered by the Third Prince, and they have now been escorted into the palace.

The Southern Barbarians... I'm afraid things are going to get bad again.

Ying Hengzhi: [...]

How could this happen? It was absolutely foolproof! I wrote to the Southern Barbarian envoys, telling them that the Third Prince was the true Son of Heaven and that they should go to the Third Prince's residence to awaken his ambition for the throne. But how could they have been exposed?

What exactly went wrong here?

Ying Hengzhi was confused. Could it be that she really couldn't beat Ying Yufu?

Is she really going to lose to Ying Yufu like this?

She is not reconciled!

Looking at the iron chain around her neck, Ying Hengzhi felt unwilling.

"I can't take it anymore, Myna! When are the Southern Barbarians finally going to buy me? I really can't take it anymore!"

Ying Hengzhi's emotions were on the verge of collapse.

She couldn't help but cry, feeling incredibly wronged.

After she had finished crying, she suddenly realized, "Myna, why aren't you saying anything?"

System 008 did not respond.

"A myna bird?" Ying Hengzhi asked, somewhat surprised.

Now that they have plenty of energy and their luck is at its peak, System 008 should be able to respond to her, but it hasn't.

【Myna, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?】 Ying Hengzhi couldn't care less about her grievances and anxiously called out to 008.

[Sizzle sizzle—]

However, the only response she received was the abnormal buzzing sound of system 008.

Such a voice had only appeared in Ying Hengzhi's previous life after she and 008 were severely injured by that pervert.

Ying Hengzhi's expression changed, and she panicked.

【Myna! Myna, what's wrong, myna!】

System 008 continued to emit a "buzzing" sound.

Ying Hengzhi trembled with fear.

If something happens to System 008, she's truly finished; she'll never be able to recover.

Fortunately, System 008 was not actually in trouble. Just when she was almost in despair, System 008's voice rang out again.

[I'm fine, host.]

The system 008 voice sounded again.

Ying Hengzhi breathed a huge sigh of relief, her face beaming with joy. "Myth brother, thank goodness you're alright! What happened to you just now? You scared me half to death!"

System 008 sounded slightly doubtful, and instead of hiding anything from Ying Hengzhi, it stated directly: "I'm not sure, I just crashed suddenly."

"What?!" Ying Hengzhi exclaimed in surprise. "How could this be? Did Ying Yufu's system do something to you?"

Is Ying Yufu's system really that powerful? Ying Hengzhi felt extremely unbalanced.

System 008 said: [It shouldn't be that bad. If Ying Yufu's system wanted to do something to me, I wouldn't just crash; I would be attacked.]

Ying Hengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

008 said: "I don't know why, but I always have a strange feeling."

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Cangxuan, along with a group of important officials from the Northern Xuan Kingdom, and the two high priests from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, Lan Yan and Xuan Feng, all watched in silence as the two Southern Barbarian envoys were wriggling on the ground like pupae.

The third prince stood to the side, his expression quite interesting.

The Crown Prince and Ying Yufu had changed back into their own clothes and were standing aside, silently watching the show.

Little Dian was also extremely happy.

It was gloating over Ying Yufu's misfortune.

[Hahaha, those two southern barbarian envoys look like two worms, wriggling around... sizzle—sizzle—]

Ying Yufu was taken aback: "Xiao Dian, what's wrong? What are you doing?"

[Sizzle—Sizzle—]

Ying Yufu was taken aback. [Little Madman?]

Xiao Dian made two more "zzzz" sounds. [Strange, that felt really strange, like I was about to faint.]

"Xiao Dian, are you alright?" Ying Yufu's heart clenched.

"It's alright, it's alright, host, don't worry." Xiao Dian sensed for a while and confirmed that he was indeed fine.

Ying Yufu was finally relieved.

"The behavior of the Southern Barbarian envoy has truly opened my eyes." The Cangxuan Emperor spoke coldly from the head of the table.

Lan Yan and Xuan Feng's expressions were indescribably grim. They remained silent, staring at the two people on the ground.

They were panting, and if their hands and feet weren't bound, they probably would have wanted to take off all their clothes right now.

The two continued to move closer to each other, seemingly wanting to do something indescribable.

The scene was truly unsightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chief Minister Zheng said, "Your Majesty, the Southern Barbarian envoy disguised himself as a Taoist priest and went to the Third Prince's residence to sow discord among the princes. Not only are these two men despicable, but the Southern Barbarian envoy also attempted to incite internal strife in our Northern Xuan. Such an act deserves death."

Lan Yan and Xuan Feng's expressions changed, and Lan Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Bei Xuan, we absolutely had no such intention!"

Even if it exists, it must never be admitted.

However, they really couldn't reveal the matter of that letter.

If the Chosen One is exposed, that's not what they want.

With things having come to this point, in order to save the lives of the two members of the Wu family, they had no choice but to bleed again.

Lan Yan said, "Your Majesty, our Southern Barbarians have absolutely no ill intentions towards the Northern Xuan. Wu Tu Su and Wu Tu Bei's actions this time were simply out of boredom."

Emperor Cangxuan raised an eyebrow and sneered.

But before Emperor Cangxuan could say anything, Lan Yan spoke up, "But they were wrong after all. Wrongdoings should come at a price. My Southern Barbarians are willing to cede Mist Sea City to Northern Xuan!"

Lan Yan felt her heart bleeding as she finished speaking.

Emperor Cangxuan raised an eyebrow again, remaining silent.

His gaze, however, drifted toward the Crown Prince beside him.

The Crown Prince immediately understood and said sadly, "Father, the foolish actions of the Southern Barbarian envoys have hurt the feelings between me and my third brother."

Fortunately, I have a deep brotherly bond with my third brother; otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

Your subject believes that Fogsea City alone is insufficient to soothe the frightened hearts of your subject and your third brother.

We must also add Wuzhu and Sentu cities.

Lan Yan and Xuan Feng's vision went black.

The three cities of Wuhai, Wuzhu, and Sentu are closely connected with Yunzhou.

Sentu City, in particular, is connected to the Misty Forest and is of great importance, serving as a key border defense city for the Southern Barbarians.

If it were given to Beixuan, Beixuan would only need to remove the poisonous miasma from the Misty Forest if it wanted to invade the Southern Barbarians in the future.

It's practically like opening a major road from Beixuan to the Southern Barbarians.

However, Wutusu and Wutubei cannot die, and the Southern Barbarians cannot bear the blame for instigating the conflict between the Crown Prince of Beixuan and the Third Prince.

If they take the blame, they will all die in Beixuan tonight.

"Fine, the Southern Barbarians agree." Lan Yan gritted her teeth.

Xuanfeng let out a long sigh.

This time, the Southern Barbarians suffered a complete defeat.

"Your Majesty of Beixuan, our envoy from the Southern Barbarians, who is transporting supplies, is about to arrive in Beixuan. We hope that Your Majesty will hand over the bloodline of the High Priest of Xuanling intact to us at that time."

Emperor Cangxuan generously replied, "Of course."

After the Southern Barbarian envoy left, the ministers of the Northern Xuan were all smiles.

"Great, we've gained three more cities for free."

Meanwhile, at the Southern Barbarian Inn, Wu Lingduo lay on her bed, her face deathly pale.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "What 'chosen one'? Is that person truly the chosen one? Listening to her, my Southern Barbarians lost three cities!"
