Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

No problem.

Although she did value Su Qingxian highly, what she was doing right now carried the sacred land's thousand-year-old ambition.

Did Su Qingxian lower her guard?

That would actually be a good thing for her.

It is indeed a bit uncomfortable.

"Qingxian, Xiaoqing."

The Holy Maiden of Taiqing remained as pure and elegant as ever, exuding a gentle and mature charm.

She's the kind of beautiful older sister who makes you completely let your guard down.

If Su Qing hadn't known that her true purpose was definitely not to cooperate with Dayan, she might have actually been deceived by her appearance.

The boy smiled and greeted him.

"Princess."

"You're here so early?"

"I'm so sorry to have made you wait for me and my sister."

"..."

You know that too!

And wasn't this an auspicious time that had been set long ago?

It's your fault for coming here on purpose, okay?

Although I was internally complaining.

However, the eldest princess did not show any sign of it on her face.

He maintained his polite smile and spoke in a gentle tone.

"It doesn't matter."

"I did arrive a little early. Qingxian, it's been a long time."

Su Qingxian simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

Compared to when he was with his younger brother, he was obviously much more distant.

This was not something she did intentionally.

Aside from her younger brother and Ming, she mostly dislikes having too much interaction with others.

No need.

And it's foolish.

Therefore, this indifferent demeanor is simply a matter of habit.

And this scene.

However, it was not unfamiliar to the eldest princess at all.

It instantly reminded her of her childhood.

In order to surpass Su Qingxian, she went to the Su residence almost every day for a period of time.

Su Qingxian always maintained this calm and detached demeanor, as if she didn't care about anything.

There is only one exception—when he gets close to Su Qing.

every time.

She would play with the boy in front of her, and only when the boy laughed would Su Qingxian's expression change slightly.

at this time.

They would then voluntarily come over and join them.

This is how she shows that she cares.

So, in a sense, the eldest princess and Su Qing were indeed childhood playmates, even though Su Qing's motives were somewhat impure back then.

Think about it this way.

She couldn't help but become curious again.

He took a deep look at the boy in front of him.

It actually looks pretty much the same as when I was a child.

His face was slightly pale; he was a typical "sickly but beautiful young man."

Despite the fact that he thwarted her plans several times, and the changes in Dayan under his influence in recent days... all these achievements demonstrate the excellence of the young man before her.

But in the eyes of the eldest princess...

That’s all.

Those achievements.

It's estimated that most of the results were due to Su Qingxian's guidance.

But what she could never understand was why the eldest daughter of the Su family, who was never polite to others, cared so much about her, her younger brother.

It's gotten to the point where it's become an absolute taboo.

As far as she knew, the two were clearly not related by blood.

"The eldest princess, the eldest princess!?"

A hand was dangling in front of me.

"Ok?"

Ji Lanxue snapped out of her daze and looked up.

They happened to meet the boy's gaze, which held a hint of a smile.

At such close range.

Well.

Putting everything else aside, this young man is indeed quite handsome.

Su Qing pointed to the Zhenlong Pavilion in front of him and said calmly.

"The door is already open."

The eldest princess perked up.

Putting aside for the moment the question of the boy's extraordinary abilities, I looked at the now-open door—

As the restrictions were lifted.

The aura of the dragon vein emanated, sweeping over everyone and bringing a strong sense of oppression.

The other guards around them knelt down involuntarily under this oppressive feeling.

Ji Lanxue glanced at it deliberately.

It would be fine if Su Qingxian was no different from usual.

The boy also seemed completely unaware.

They even have the leisure to offer sharp criticisms of architectural styles.

"The color scheme is too monotonous."

"Won't this gold mixed with brown look lifeless after a while?"

"Sigh, I wonder whose work this is. The aesthetics are really questionable."

The eldest princess: "..."

Thank you.

The person you described as having "questionable aesthetic sense" was none other than the founding emperor of the Dayan dynasty.

Su Qingxian glanced at her bratty younger brother with a hint of helplessness and said indifferently.

"Let's go."

"Dragon veins should not be opened for long."

After a while.

The three entered the Zhenlong Pavilion.

at the same time.

The Empress's Palace.

Princess Shameless held a message in her palm.

His brows were deeply furrowed.

she murmured.

"Do not."

"Will not."

"It must be that thief stirring up trouble."

Even though he said so.

but……

When it comes to serious matters, that little thief is always right and has never made a mistake.

What about this time?

He hesitated for a moment.

The Empress took a deep breath.

She is now, after all, the Empress of Dayan, and she must witness it with her own eyes no matter what!

After making up your mind.

Princess Dumb sat down cross-legged.

Slowly closed his eyes.

at the same time.

A dragon shadow flashed past between his brows, subtly echoing the dragon vein not far away.

Inside the Zhenlong Pavilion.

Go down 37 floors.

One side was churning with scorching lava, while the other side was covered in ice.

The dragon's shadow sat high above the ice and fire, majestic and solemn.

This is the location of the dragon vein of the Great Evolution!

Su Qingxian stopped a few steps away and said calmly.

"Princess."

"I want to ask again."

"How do you wish to utilize the power of the dragon vein?"

Ji Lanxue explained slowly.

“Use the original power of the Taiqing Holy Land to draw an array here. The array will not cause any damage to the dragon vein itself.”

"When the last dragon vein is found, the five formations will operate simultaneously, drawing a trace of power from each of the five dragon veins to combine their power and create the Ancient Dragon Formation."

"If handled properly and with a bit of luck, we might be able to quell all the dark forces at the time and resolve the crisis in the world!"

That's what I said.

It's truly tempting.

Don't say anything else.
