Hearing Lan Xin’s words, Jin Lingyun slowly responded:
“You see… that Martial Emperor who destroyed the Martial Emperor thousands of years ago? Well, he’s actually the previous self of our master…
If what Little Qilin said is true… perhaps Nan Gong Liuyun is indeed dangerous…
But when I first saw her, though I didn’t make my move, I felt in my perception that stopping her wouldn’t be too hard…”
Lan Xin shook her head:
“Don’t do anything foolish. Let others probe her hidden strength first. Then we’ll act when the time is right.
If things turn sour, we’ll take Nan Gong Liuyun’s side and stay stable. Understand?”
“Alright, fine, I’ll listen to Little Qilin…”
On the other side, in the underground secret room:
Nan Gong Liuyun was enjoying Jiang Xuan, who was in his demon form.
While he was training, seeing Nan Gong Liuyun come back, he efficiently attended to her.
“You little succubus, you seem very eager.”
Jiang Xuan: “…..”
“Now that your seniors and the demons guarding outside won’t cause much trouble, you just need to relax and wait here until the wedding starts.
From now on, I’ll keep you company. Oh yeah, it’s been a while since we practiced the ‘Hehuan Technique.’ Let’s use this demon state of yours to review and learn new tricks!”

Elsewhere, in a concealed cave outside the Great Jiang Imperial City:
Jiang Xuan’s three apprentices from his past life, along with Ming Yue and Qing Qi, gathered here.
At this moment, eldest disciple Xi Yao proposed:
“The master’s wedding is in two days. Waiting then would put us at a disadvantage.
As they say, know thyself and know thy enemy and thou shall win every battle. We need to break into the enemy’s inner circle to catch them off guard.
Also, it’ll increase the chances of rescuing our master.
I suggest letting Xiao Meimei Mo Han and Xin Wan go to Nangong Mansion first.
Xin Wan should easily get close to Nan Gong Liuyun because of her position.
She can also secretly investigate how many forces Nan Gong Liuyun has around her to help us plan our operation.”
Upon hearing these words, Mo Han, who was possessing Nangong Xin Wan’s body, nodded.
“Senshi has a point. Hand this task over to me. You all wait outside for my report.
The Great Jiang Imperial City is already under Nan Gong Liuyun’s control.
Among us, only Xin Wan has any chance of reaching Nangong Mansion without obstruction.”

Outside the Great Jiang Imperial City:
Nangong Xin Wan was conversing with Mo Han.
“Master, with our current strength, can we really stop her wedding?”
“Don’t worry. The Senshies and Ershies are recovering their soul power quite well.
They were prodigious geniuses a thousand years ago, strong enough to k*ll veteran Sage Warriors despite being mere Martial Emperors.
In two days, they’ll personally handle the situation. Our main task will be to figure out Nan Gong Liuyun’s hidden forces and where our master is.
Xin Wan… you’ve seen those memories… you don’t want him to become your future brother-in-law, right?
Hehehe, no worries, I’ll help you. Once Nan Gong Liuyun’s forces are held up, I’ll snatch our master away. At that point, you can deal with him however you like…”
“But… he is sister’s…”
“Stop right there. The marriage isn’t decided yet. Don’t take this too seriously, Xin Wan.
Do you have feelings for him at all? You’ve already touched him before. Now you have to take responsibility, okay?”
“Alright, I understand what you mean, Master. Everything else is on me. Just hide your presence…”

The next morning.
Nan Gong Liuyun appeared in the courtyard.
There, standing before her, was none other than Nangong Xinwan whom she hadn’t seen in a while.
“Xinwan, aren’t you supposed to be at the main house? Why are you here?”
“I’m here to celebrate your happiness, but it seems you’re not as fond of me as before…”
“I will always welcome you, Xinwan, not that I’m being cold.”
“That’s good… oh, by the way, where’s… future brother-in-law? I haven’t seen him.”
“Oh, he was disobedient, so I had to teach him some manners. He’s still reflecting and isn’t ready to meet you…”
Nangong Xinwan looked perplexed.
“If sister thinks that’s okay, you should treat him kindly—how can you harshly treat a weak man…”
“What? Xinwan, are you here to visit me or with ulterior motives?
Let’s avoid strange thoughts. Otherwise, sister might get mad…”
As Nan Gong Liuyun spoke, her eyes turned a fierce red and a powerful aura enveloped Nangong Xinwan.
