“But…” Chen Fengyin said seriously, “Chang Ning, you didn’t tell this secret to anyone else, did you?”

Chen Qianxue shook her head.

“Very good,” Chen Fengyin said. “You must not tell this secret to anyone else, or it will attract a lot of trouble. A dream like yours that can predict the future is too special.”

“Then, you must have dreamt of a certain future scene and learned that someone would attack the royal family members in the future. That’s why you thought of increasing your ability to protect yourself. Am I right?”

Unexpectedly, Chen Qianxue actually shook her head. She replied, “Father, I think that the person the other party wants to deal with… Is you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Health Hall of the Imperial Palace fell into silence. No one continued to speak.

Although Chen Fengyin did not speak, it could still be seen that his expression had changed a few times.

A few breaths of time passed.

Chen Fengyin opened his mouth. “Chang Ning, how did you come to this conclusion?”

Chen Qianxue replied, “Someone in the dark attacked me, my royal brother, and my royal sister. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have happened. Many of us only have the status of a member of the royal family and enjoy some special privileges. Other than that, there’s nothing else.”

“Under such circumstances, why would anyone have nothing to do and want to kill the royal family of Great Wei for fun?”

“The other party would only do this for one purpose! They want to target you, Imperial Father!”

“We, the descendants of the Imperial family, we are just a tool to be used. The mastermind behind the scenes are using us like ]a sharp blade to deal with you!”

In fact, during the previous few simulations of immortal cultivation, the Great Wei Emperor also realized that something was wrong.

However, this time, Chen Qianxue had done many things ahead of time.

As a result, Chen Fengyin had yet to realize that something was wrong.

After Chen Qianxue’s words, he woke up.

He came to a realization.

“Chang Ning, don’t tell anyone else about this. Let me send someone to settle this matter.” Chen Fengyin’s expression returned to his usual calm, even his tone was frighteningly calm. “In the future, if you want to temporarily leave the Imperial Palace, you must inform me.”

“I will send a few people to protect your safety. I won’t let some audacious scoundrels have a chance to take advantage of you.”

He paused for a moment.

He shifted the topic to Chen Qianxue. His tone was finally fluctuating again. He asked curiously, “You said that you want to increase your ability to protect yourself. What does it have to do with you going to the Heavenly Prison to kill so many demons?”

He finally asked this.

Regarding this, Chen Qianxue did not hide anything. This time, she told him everything about the uniqueness of the Mysterious Mask.

Chen Fengyin was stunned.

A bronze mask?

The pinnacle of the universe?

Heaven Devouring Demon Technique?

This…

Why did it feel like his daughter was telling some exaggerated story?

However…

Chen Fengyin knew that everything that Chen Qianxue said was true.

That was because Chen Qianxue had already taken out the Mysterious Mask.

That bronze mask that seemed to be laughing and crying was filled with an extremely strange evil nature!

Even though Chen Fengyin was a mighty figure in the tenth layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

When he first saw this thing, he still felt a palpitating feeling in his heart, as if what he saw was not a mask, but a black hole abyss that could devour everything in the cultivation world!

This made his scalp tingle!

His hair stood on end!

Even he, a tenth level Nascent Soul stage cultivator, felt his heart palpitate. It was enough to prove that this mysterious mask was abnormally terrifying. It was so terrifying that Chen Fengyin wished he could seal it on the spot and seal it for as long as he could.

However, looking at his daughter in front of him, he gave up on this idea.

His tone was unprecedentedly serious and solemn. “This thing…”

“You must use it carefully!”

“You must!”

…

[The words you revealed to the Emperor of the Great Wei are half true, half false. Perhaps it was because you were his beloved daughter, but some of the words that sounded extremely ridiculous, he still chose to believe you.]

[The Emperor of the Great Wei secretly sent people to carry out a thorough investigation. The scope of the investigation covered the entire Imperial City, especially Immortal cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above. They became the focus of the thorough investigation!]

[Thinking of the so-called ‘Prophetic Dream Realm’ that you made up, the Emperor of the Great Wei has finally decided to let you get involved.]

[You have a certain degree of command over the people that the Emperor of the Great Wei has sent to secretly investigate.]

[Age 22, in your hands, you hold a long list. On the list are itinerant cultivators, Immortal cultivators from the sects, and Immortal cultivators from the Imperial Court.]

[There are civil officials, generals, and relatives of the Emperor.]

[There is a unique and familiar name that you will never forget after seeing it.]

[ — Qin Jiao!]

…

The Great Wei Dynasty.

The Imperial City.

Qin Jiao had once again run into the Imperial City a year ago.

This time, she had learned her lesson from the last time and did not reveal her wealth recklessly.

Her purpose in coming to the Imperial City was also very simple.

That was to stop the internal strife in Great Wei!

Yes!

She realized why Great Wei was in internal strife and knew that as long as Great Wei was in internal strife, she would not be safe at the giant bronze gate.

Qin Jiao had thought of many ways to solve this huge problem.

In the end, she only thought of one solution — to ask the Great Wei Emperor not to lose his children.

Qin Jiao concluded that the Great Wei Emperor had gone mad because his children had died and his state of mind had been greatly affected.

To be honest, this solution was very unreliable, but Qin Jiao felt that it was not a big problem!

So, she came here once again.

“Strange.” At this time, Qin Jiao could not help but mutter in puzzlement, “The princesses and princes of the Great Wei are clearly not dead yet! Why did that Emperor still strengthen the defenses of the Imperial City?”

“Furthermore, I was actually unlucky enough to be investigated by the people of the Imperial City. They found me a few days ago and asked me some things. Did they have to make such a big fuss?”

Qin Jiao was only a little puzzled. After all, she was not the mastermind behind the scenes.

She also did not want the Great Wei Dynasty to fall into some internal strife.

So be it if they investigated, so be it!

In any case, as long as he did not tell anyone about the bronze gate, there would not be any problems.

Thus, when facing the people of the Imperial Court, Qin Jiao told them her real name.

She did not know that her name was quickly sent to someone’s table.
