Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi returned to the mountain ahead of others and ran into Bai Youmu.
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Ji Yunxi whispered, "Don't worry, Deputy Sect Leader Bai. I didn't kill her. She will be sent back soon. It's just..."
Hearing that Zhao Qingwan was still alive, Bai Youmu felt relieved. For him, that was enough.
"Just what?" he asked gently.
Ji Yunxi said somewhat shyly, "I beat her... and asked who instigated her..."
Seeing Ji Yunxi looking so cautious, Bai Youmu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You don't need to blame yourself. She made such a big mistake. You've given enough face to Kunlun Mountain by not killing her. As long as she's alive."
Ji Yunxi achieved her goal and bowed to thank him, not mentioning her own grievances at all, which made Bai Youmu feel even more embarrassed.
Previously, it was because the sect leader deliberately gave them low scores that the two were slandered by rumors. In the disciples' competition, Ji Yunxi almost defeated half of the new disciples by herself. If Feng Xingzhi hadn't been injured and withdrawn from the competition, he might have been as troubled as Ji Yunxi.
Before they could catch their breath for two days, Zhao Qingwan caused such a thing.
Compared with Ji Yunxi's way of taking revenge while still considering Kunlun Mountain, Zhao Qingwan's behavior of harming her fellow disciples without hesitation was really despicable.
"I won't ignore this matter. You can rest assured."
After Bai Youmu left, Feng Xingzhi smiled helplessly and said, "Have you acted enough?"
Ji Yunxi put away her previous expression and said, "Immortal Bai Youmu is really kind-hearted."
Zhao Qingwan was sent back, and many disciples came to watch.
Bai Youmu walked over with a cold look. Instead of treating her injuries, he just took a general look and said to the disciples beside him, "Please take care of each other. When she gets better, let her go to Chaoyun Hall to receive punishment."
Everyone looked at Zhao Qingwan's miserable state. Some felt a little pity, but when they heard that Bai Youmu was going to punish her, they all understood that Kunlun Mountain would never allow the harming of fellow disciples. For a moment, they all behaved themselves and didn't dare to cause trouble.
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi didn't care and asked Rong Hua for leave.
"Ji Yunxi, remember to be more careful on this trip. Be patient and try not to use your spiritual power to avoid shaking the seal in your body."
Ji Yunxi already knew that Rong Hua had sealed one of her divine powers and was full of gratitude. She readily agreed to Rong Hua's instructions.
"What are your plans after you go down the mountain?"
"Report to Master. We plan to go to Beidi first to find one of the medicinal herbs, the Blood Fragrant Grass."
Rong Hua thought for a while and said, "Just do it if you have a plan."
Feng Xingzhi was very steady this time and replied, "Yes, Master. I will protect Xi Xi well."
Rong Hua couldn't bear to see the affectionate look of the two, so she waved her hand sourly and said, "Hurry up and go."
After leaving Rong Hua's bedroom, Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi were waiting for them.
Li Jiuge was holding a bundle in his hand, which contained some silver and food.
The two of them gave a lot of instructions and only let Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi leave after hearing them keep saying yes.
Lu Shu had already prepared the horses and was waiting at the foot of the mountain. The two rode their horses without stopping and rushed straight to the border of Beidi.
However, as soon as they entered the territory of Beidi, they were intercepted by the officers and soldiers on the official road.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Ji Yunxi?"
The other side seemed to be afraid that Ji Yunxi would misunderstand, so they stood far away and didn't come forward rashly.
Feng Xingzhi whispered, "It seems that we've been followed all the way."
Ji Yunxi nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. I guess the Empress of Beidi wants to see me."
Sure enough, as soon as she admitted it, the officers and soldiers ran over and said respectfully, "Miss Ji, the Empress invites you."
Ji Yunxi didn't decline and directly agreed. She thought that since she came to Beidi specifically for the medicinal herbs, it would be very convenient to get the help of Hua Xi'an within the territory of Beidi.
So the two didn't resist at all and directly followed the officers and soldiers to the capital of Beidi.
As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they happened to meet Hua Siyun. She was wearing gorgeous clothes and pouting as if she was unhappy.
However, as soon as she turned her head and saw the Xingzhi Gege she had been missing day and night, she ran over shyly and excitedly and said, "Xingzhi Gege! Miss Ji."
It was always better to meet an acquaintance than to be in the atmosphere of strangers.
Hua Siyun was very happy and welcomed the two in and said, "Come with me quickly. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
The Beidi Palace was neither too big nor too small. It took half a quarter of an hour to walk to the front of the palace.
Just as the three were about to go in, the guards in front of the palace directly stopped Feng Xingzhi and turned to Hua Siyun and said, "The Empress has an order to see only Ji Yunxi."
Ji Yunxi nodded to Feng Xingzhi and said, "Ah Zhi, just wait for me."
Feng Xingzhi wasn't worried that she would be in danger, so he stopped quietly and said, "I'll wait for you outside the palace."
Hua Siyun rolled her eyes, turned around and ran away. She directly came to the back door of the main hall and walked in along it.
Ji Yunxi walked into the main hall alone. The door was closed, and there were only herself and the person on the high seat in the main hall.
She was sitting upright on the Empress's throne, and there were already silver threads on her head.
The two didn't move and just looked at each other from afar.
Ji Yunxi pretended to be calm, while Hua Xi'an was a little excited when she saw her. She waved her hand tremblingly and said, "Come here. Get closer."
Ji Yunxi walked over step by step, and Hua Xi'an finally saw her face clearly.
Exactly the same. Really exactly the same.
Her elder sister...
Ji Yunxi came in front of her and didn't go any further.
Hua Xi'an thought it wasn't enough and waved her hand again and said, "Come here. Sit directly beside me."
Hua Siyun was shocked. That was the throne of the Empress of Beidi. She herself wasn't qualified to sit on it. Why did Ji Yunxi?
She couldn't help getting closer and closer and heard Hua Xi'an's gentle voice.
"What's your name?"
Ji Yunxi smiled faintly and said, "My name is Ji Yunxi."
"I know your father. Prime Minister Ji is a very powerful person. He's really good at raising his children."
Ji Yunxi hadn't heard anyone mention her father for a long time. There was a look of nostalgia for her father in her eyes and she said, "Yes. Although Father was busy with government affairs on weekdays, he was very kind to our siblings."
Hua Xi'an smiled and suddenly murmured the name Yunxi.
Hua Siyun had already come in front of the two. Seeing this, she was a little strange and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Xi'an was a little dissatisfied when she saw her come in and said, "Why did you come in? Didn't I say I would only see her?"
Hua Siyun was a little jealous. She had always enjoyed her mother's love alone. Now suddenly someone appeared, and her mother seemed to like her more. Hua Siyun couldn't help feeling sour.
"Mother! I'm your own daughter."
Seeing her pouting and unhappy look, Ji Yunxi suddenly couldn't help smiling and said, "Princess, you're naturally Your Majesty's treasure."
Hua Xi'an shook her head helplessly and said, "I just thought that your aunt's name was also Yunxi."
"Even if the names are the same, you can't treat her like your aunt."
