his expression, and the gaze he directed at Su Qingying held a newfound sense of inquiry and depth. "With such fierce skill, who exactly are you""Son! I'm your grandmother!" Rubbing her neck that was...Being held so tightly, Su Qingying couldn't help but push him away with her hands on his chest. Holding his face in her hands, anger flared in her eyes as she scolded, "Arli, how did you come here Didn't I just tell you to leave What were you thinking, jumping down after me Why don't you ever listen to me! Do you really want to kill yourself"

This demon, simply too chaotic!

What if he gets trapped by the Five Elements and Bagua What if he falls ill again Shouldn't he take better care of his own body

He just wanted to make her heartbroken, didn't he

"If you're not here, what difference does it make if I live or die Living is just like being a walking corpse anyway." He gently pecked her dry lips, and Jun Liye once again held her in his embrace.

"Idiot! You big fool!" Leaning against his chest, Su Qingying's eyes couldn't help but redden, her tears refusing to be held back. All she could do was tightly hug him.

This fool, how can she not love How can she not

To fall in love with him, she, Su Qingying, how fortunate!

"Ahem, that is, excuse me for interrupting, but does anyone here have a lighter It's awfully dark here." Shangguan Jinghong said in a low voice after a light cough.

He swore he didn't mean to be the light bulb, interrupting their tender moment. It was just so dark here, he had been searching for ages and couldn't find a way out.

"I brought a night pearl." Recalling the important matter, Su Qingying withdrew from Jun Liye's embrace again, taking out a small box from her waist and retrieving a chicken-egg sized night pearl to illuminate the surroundings.

With the illumination of the night pearl, this pitch-black place became noticeably brighter.

"Where are we" Holding a night pearl, Su Qingying looked around and furrowed her brow deeply.

"We should have fallen into the underground passage of the garden. You all search separately to see if you can find a mechanism to leave this room." Jun Liye stood up, occasionally reaching out to tap on this wall brick and touch that wall brick.

With so many bricks, I don't know when I'll be able to find it. Su Qingying's eyes flashed, and she suddenly had an idea.

She took the few pearl flowers from her hair, placing them in her hand to weigh. A faint smile touched Su Qingying's lips.

Suddenly, she flung the pearls in her hand away with a jerk. The pearls bounced and collided against the bricks, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Upon seeing this, Jun Liye and Shangguan Jinghong simultaneously halted their actions and unanimously extended a thumbs-up to her.

Wow!

This is so light and airy!

Crack—

Amidst the dazzling array, they couldn't tell which pearl struck which brick, triggering a mechanism. A stone door slowly creaked open before them.

"Arli, Jinghong, you guys come here quickly, there's another secret room here!" Su Qingying's face lit up with joy as she hurried to call the two over.

Seeing the scene behind Shimen, Su Qingying gasped. Her bright phoenix eyes darted around in disbelief, and she exclaimed, "Wow! This place is like a hidden paradise! There are even beds and tables here, it looks like someone has lived here."

The walls of the chamber were almost entirely inlaid with night pearls. As soon as the stone door opened, the fluorescence emitted by thousands upon thousands of night pearls illuminated the entire space, as if it were daytime.

Looking at those fist-sized night pearls, Su Qingying was itching with desire, wishing she could take them all down.

"Yinger, stop fidgeting with it, you can't take it off." Jun Liye and Shangguan Jinghong walked in just as they saw a certain woman using her hands and feet to try and remove the beautiful night pearl. The faces of the two men twisted in awkwardness.

This money fanatic…

“Could this be… the residence of Father… Could this be a secret chamber where Shangguan Jianren resides” Shangguan Jinghong originally wanted to say ‘Father’, but whenever he thought about his every word and sentence above, somehow, he couldn’t bring himself to utter those two characters.

Hearing the term he used for Shangguan Jianren, Su Qingying, who was busy stringing night pearls, immediately twitched the corner of her mouth and gave him a cool sideways glance. She patted his shoulder and lectured him: "Shangguan jerk Shangguan flirt Although that prince from Beiling has a really bad character, you don't have to insult him like this."

“…” Shangguan Jinghong.

To act like a sword, to govern with benevolence, it truly fits his name perfectly! Why would anyone criticize him

"…. Ying'er, Shangguan Jianren is the name of the emperor of Beiling." Knowing she had misunderstood, Jun Liye was suddenly speechless.

He never thought much of it before, but now that she put it that way, he suddenly found himself unable to look at his name.

"Pfft... This is too funny! An emperor being called a wretch His parents must really hate him!" Su Qingying laughed, clapping her hands on the table and shaking with mirth.

Emma, this jerk's parents must have picked him up off the street, haha!

Wiping away the tears from her smile, Su Qingying laughed until she was gasping for air. Suddenly, her lecherous eyes swept over the two of them, and she said with a sly grin, "What should his parents call him then Little bastard Scoundrel Little rascal Haha, they all sound so funny, don't they"

Without waiting for their reply, Su Qingying once again lowered her head and laughed uncontrollably.

"……”Looking at her exaggerated smile, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly felt a little sympathy for his father. Fortunately, his name was normal and didn't have any flaws.

To prevent Su Qingying from laughing out loud, Jun Liye kindly stepped forward and patted her on the back, soothing her breath.

After a while, when the surge of excitement in her heart subsided, Su Qingying seemed to suddenly remember something. Her smile faded, replaced by a serious expression as she looked at Jun Liye, pulling at the corners of her aching mouth. "By the way, A-Li, I heard from Shangguan Saobao that the poison on your body was inflicted by him. What's going on With your formidable martial arts skills, how could you have fallen victim to him"

As soon as these words left her mouth, Su Qingying keenly noticed that Jun Liye's expression froze abruptly. After a moment of silence, his blood-red narrow eyes flickered with something she couldn't quite understand, and he said gloomily, "Ying'er, I told you, the Emperor of Beiling is... my uncle."

"What You're saying that the scoundrel from the Northern Imperial Family is your uncle Then wouldn't your mother be his younger sister" Su Qingying was stunned, her face filled with the amazement of someone who had just discovered a new continent.

She had guessed at their relationship, but she never dreamed that the arrogant superior was his uncle. It was too surreal!

"Hmm." Jun Liye had expected this reaction, so he wasn't surprised.

"So you and Shangguan Sao Bao are actually cousins" Su Qingying had a hard time accepting this fact. She glanced at Shangguan Jinghong across from her, then at Jun Liye. Looking closer, she really saw that the two of them were quite similar in their eyebrows and eyes.

"Mm." Jun Liye nodded. He had always gotten along well with his brother, so he cherished him very much.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's face stretched to the back of her ears, she swaggered in a zigzag gait to Shangguan Jinghong's front, patted his shoulder heavily, and smiled, "Yo yo yo, come on, Shangguan the flirtatious one, call this princess your sister-in-law!"

Emma, I didn't expect her status to suddenly surpass this jerk by so much. It feels so good, hahaha!taring!Her lips twitched, Su Qingying silently withdrew her gaze, scanning the hall but seeing neither Zhao Tianqi nor the envoys of Jinling Kingdom.A cold mist appeared in Feng Mu's eyes, and Su Qing...
