Jing Xiao did not expect that Ling Yuxian would stop her from speaking to Gu Changge.

 

She furrowed her brows with displeasure, but she did not flare up in this situation. She only gently said to Gu Changge that she had many things to tell him since they had not seen each other for a few days. As they had an important matter to handle now, they could only talk at a later time.

 

Upon finishing her words, she shot Ling Yuxian a meaningful look. Her gaze was icy and hostile.

 

When Gu Changge heard that, he replied with a smile, “Naturally, we should prioritise this important matter.”

 

She could feel that Gu Changge had many things to tell her too. However, because of Ling Yuxian’s presence or some other reason, he could only give up. [I’m sure Senior Brother Gu is in a predicament…]

 

If Gu Changge was indeed as horrible as Ling Yuxian had described, why would she approach him? Would that not be contrary to her own words?

 

Ling Yuxian did not seem to see Jing Xiao’s gaze or hear her words.

 

She was usually impassive, but she suddenly put on a bright smile. She said to Gu Changge, “Senior Brother Gu, why don’t we pick up where we left off?”

 

She felt that Gu Changge intentionally made Jing Xiao misunderstand that it was all her doing. Therefore, she squinted her eyes when she smiled, trying to give him a warning.

 

Gu Changge ignored her warning and nodded with a smile. “Senior Sister Yuxian, you happened to be talking about the Jing Kingdom when Junior Sister Jing Xiao came. We can ask her about it.”

 

Ling Yuxian was vexed upon hearing that.

 

This was a topic she had been trying to avoid in front of Jing Xiao. She knew that Gu Changge had deliberately brought it up to sow discord between them. Nevertheless, since Jing Xiao was around, she could only play along with Gu Changge. Otherwise, all her efforts would go down the drain.

 

With a smile, she implicitly explained how the Jing Kingdom and the Imperial Celestial Palace were related and the relationship between their Founder and the Jing Kingdom.

 

It was Jing Xiao’s first time hearing about this, so she was shocked. She realised that Ling Yuxian would keep looking at Gu Changge when she was speaking. Her gaze was ‘full of love’ when she gaped at him.

 

Upon seeing that, Jing Xiao recalled the rumours about the two of them as of late.

 

Everything was happening in an orderly manner under Ling Yuxian’s arrangements.

 

Soon, several rays of light penetrated Spacetime and disappeared as they headed to a remote area of West State.

 

Jing Xiao led the way while people like Gu Changge and Ling Yuxian followed behind her. The other Elders were hidden in the dark.

 

They rapidly flew past magnificent mountains, massive rivers, and lush forests. Many ancient cities soon came into their sight. Cultivators and living beings of different Races were moving around. The entire area was full of vitality. Jing Xiao was conflicted and elated at the same time when she finally returned to her home after several years.

 

When she thought about seeing her Parents and Older Brother, she was no longer in a bad mood. She was thrilled and expectant.

 

All of them were heading to the Capital in the Jing Kingdom. It would only take cultivators of this level like them a flash of thought and several breaths of time to arrive at their destination.

 

When Jing Xiao cultivation level had reached a certain level, she finally realised how extraordinary the Jing Kingdom was.

 

The place was covered in an iridescent light and Celestial Mist. Auspicious beasts like Cranes and White Tigers were either flying in the sky or wandering on mountains.

 

Ordinary people would not realise it, but when powerful cultivators passed by, they would discover that this was a Heavenly Land with great vitality, which made it an ideal place for cultivation.

 

“Senior Brother Gu, this is the place I told you about before. I grew up here.”

 

The Jing Kingdom was not vast, and it had only been about a thousand years since it was founded.

 

They did not talk much along the way. Now that Jing Xiao had a chance to speak to Gu Changge, she decided to introduce the Jing Kingdom to him.

 

“It doesn’t seem like the Jing Kingdom has only been around for a thousand years. It’s indeed a mysterious place,” Gu Changge said with a smile.

 

Jing Xiao realised that as well. She was always curious about her Parents’ age.

 

Since they were old friends with Ling Qiuchang, they must have been alive for a long time as well. There was no way the Jing Kingdom had only been around for a thousand years.

 

A Dao Realm Master would easily go in seclusion for way longer than a thousand years.

 

She decided to ask her parents about it when she saw them.

 

They descended from above while concealing their presence. The Capital of the Jing Kingdom was not huge, but those moving around on the ancient streets showed that it was not an ordinary small kingdom.

 

Jing Xiao was leading them to the Jing Family. When she came across people she knew, she would greet them with a smile.

 

After all, she had lived here for many years. She was familiar with everything in the city.

 

However, when she returned to the Jing Family which she knew fully well, she did not see her Parents.

 

Only some servants were left in the Jing Family. Even her Older Brother was nowhere to be found.

 

“You’re back, Princess Jing.” The maid named Ling’er and another woman were surprised to see Jing Xiao. They then looked at the people behind her.

 

Naturally, they recognised Ling Yuxian. After all, she had lived in the Jing Family for some time. They wondered who the handsome young man was, though.

 

Was he the man that Jing Xiao had fallen in love with that Prince Jing and Princess Consort Jing had mentioned before they left two days ago?

 

They were amazed. It was their first time seeing such an elegant young man. It was no wonder Jing Xiao, who had always focused on pursuing the Great Dao, had fallen for him.

 

[Ling’er and Ya’er are cultivators as well?]

 

“Where are my Parents and Older Brother? Why aren’t they here?”

 

Jing Xiao examined the two who were responsible for looking after her Older Brother while feeling surprised.

 

She did not realise it in the past. Now that she was a powerful cultivator, she could see that not only were the two maids cultivators, but they were also fairly strong.

 

She became even more curious about the background of her Parents and the Jing Family.
