Bai Feiyue didn't reply. She lightly moved her foot, gently lifting up the sword that had fallen to the ground.

Suddenly!

She suddenly turned the blade of her sword towards him. Qiu Wuyin stared blankly for a moment, but soon after, his gaze turned cold.

Bai Feiyue smiled, her smile light and gentle. She had never smiled like this before. With her other hand, she caressed the sword tassels hanging from the hilt. He heard her say, "Back then when I was making these tassels, you said that I made such an ugly performance. Why don't we throw it away?" She paused, "So, you still have …"

Qiu Wuliang's body began to tremble, "You …" "What did you say …"

Bai Feiyue put down his sword and softly murmured, "Feiyue, once the Duke of Xunyang seizes the throne, I'll take you out of this bustling place. How about it?"

Qiu Wuliang's breath caught in his throat. His fingers moved, and he no longer dared to act rashly. He was afraid, afraid that all of this was just a dream.

With a gentle breeze, Bai Feiyue's hair danced in the wind. She slowly walked up to him, her right hand trembling as she lifted it to gently pull off the black cloth covering his face.

"Elder brother, I'm back." Bai Feiyue smiled, smiled, and cried.

If one were to say that she had given up ten years of her life for Yu QianXun, then Qiu Wuliang had dedicated his entire life to her. If one were to say that she had given up ten years of her life for Yu QianXun, then Qiu Wuyin had devoted his entire life to her. For Qiu Wuyin, taking care of Bai Feiyue had become a habit. Since he was young, he had no one to rely on, and the Bai Clan took him in as their disciple, and once he had grown up, they even made him acknowledge him as a disciple of the Jadeite Martial Villa. This was such a great favor, and when the Bai Clan was exterminated, he would repay all of this kindness to Bai Feiyue.

Qiu Wuliang's eyes were moist and hot. His hands trembled as he extended them forward, and then he fiercely embraced her. He was curious. Other than him and Bai Feiyue, who else would know of the Seven Stars Pavilion's communication point? So it really was her! It really was her!

"You didn't die!? You're not dead!? You actually didn't die!? "

"Great, great …"

Bai Feiyue closed his eyes as tears rolled down his face. Right now, he was the only member of her family left …

"Brother …" "Right now, I only have you left …"

Qiu Wuliang gently pushed her away, then his eyes filled with doubt. "King Xunyuan said that the empress dowager had already … Dead. How did you escape then? How did he become like this? "This is the empress's palanquin. The empress is the Prime Minister's daughter, how could you …"

Bai Feiyue laughed coldly before continuing, "Brother, do you know if there are any high level alchemists in the Yun Sect who are able to refine Soul Divergence Pill?"

"Soul Divergence Pill!?" Qiu Wuliang pondered for a moment before his eyes widened, "You're saying that someone used the Soul Divergence Pill to deal with you!? You said the Yun Sect … "Isn't the Yun Sect …" Aren't they our allies?

"If it wasn't for the Soul Divergence Pill, how would I have lost Long Ji's power, causing the core to be completely destroyed?!" Bai Feiyue shouted, "Brother, do you still not understand?"

Qiu Wuliang took two steps back as he looked at her in disbelief.

"Ten years ago, the Bai Family was annihilated, and Yu QianXun told me that it was the Emperor who did it. At that time, he deeply believed it, but now that she thought about it carefully, since the Emperor has already agreed to her father's resignation, why did he have to wait half-way for me?"

"You mean …" Qiu Wuliang felt dizzy. "It's Yu QianXun …"

"Yes!" It was him who annihilated the entire Bai Clan! You tricked us into working for him for ten years! Ten years! In the end, he even killed me! "Kill Sui Long!" At the mention of Bai Yu Long, Bai Fei Yue looked like she was about to collapse. "My Yu Long, when he left me, he was still so young, and he didn't know a thing. That beast Yu Qian Xun! In order to curry favor with the Northern Wei Country, he had actually given them the Domain Long as a medicinal guide! And I... He actually didn't know anything at all … "He doesn't know anything …"

Ever since she was reborn, Bai Feiyue had been suppressing herself — the truth of the annihilation of the Bai Family, the death of Sui Long, and the betrayal of her most beloved. Her heart was riddled with thousands of holes, but she held it in until she saw Qiu Wuliang.

Qiu Wuliang almost fell to the ground. His eyes were empty and he could not even shed a tear.

In the end, there were only seven people left from the Seven Stars Pavilion. They supported each other as they walked to the front of Qiu Wuliang, only to see that their leader had not yet killed this empress.

"Pavilion master, the master said to …"

Before that person could finish speaking, a silver light flashed, and the throats of the seven were instantly cut off.

Qiu Wuliang's expression was cold and merciless. He lightly wiped the sword clean, then suddenly turned the tip of the sword and stabbed towards his own chest.

Blood flowed like a fountain. He used his sword to prop himself up, his face already as pale as snow.

Shocked, Bai Feiyue hurried forward to support his body. "What are you doing?!"

Qiu Wuliang looked at her and smirked, "I know that Cardinal Fang Qian is a summoner. He has arrived in the capital today and lives in the residence of the Minister of Revenue, Fang Shang Village. The Fang Family is a branch of the Fang Family in Returning Fragrant City, and the two families have been in close contact with each other recently. As for the purpose for which he entered the capital, the Seven Stars Pavilion is still investigating." Qiu Wuliang paused for a moment before continuing, "Right now, I can only use his name to explain to Yu QianXun why my assassination attempt didn't succeed."

After all, the power of a summoner was limitless. As long as he said that tonight was the night he would be fighting against the Cardinal, then it was only natural that he would be defeated.

He continued, "Even though I'm the Seven Stars Pavilion's Pavilion Master, the Seven Stars Pavilion is currently in Yu QianXun's hands after all. I'm unable to immediately break away from his control, and now that we've broken off our relationship, it's not good for us. The only option we have is to stay put."

Bai Feiyue nodded. "Of course I know. But since it's like this, I'll have to inconvenience brother."

"As long as we can avenge the Bai Clan!" Even if you want me to die, I will not hesitate to die! "

After a moment of silence, Bai Feiyue suddenly recalled the words he had just said.

She frowned. "Since you already know that he's a summoner, what about Yu QianXun?"

Qiu Wuliang gritted his teeth, "I told him."

Bai Feiyue lowered her eyes. "Forget about it. It seems like the Fang family has already been involved and won't be able to take care of him alone. Perhaps it's because of this that the Fang family's old patriarch allowed him to enter the capital.

Qiu Wuliang thought deeply before saying, "Feiyue, this is not a good place to talk. I will have the small bag send you a message. Before that happens, you must remember to protect yourself well." He paused. "Does Yu QianXun know your true identity?"

Bai Feiyue shook his head. "He doesn't know. This matter is astoundingly bizarre, so far I don't know what it is exactly, and I can't explain it clearly now. When the small bag arrives, I'll write you a letter."

Qiu Wuyin nodded, "It's good that he doesn't know. Next up, he'll definitely find a chance to make a move on you. You have to take care of yourself."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from nearby.

Bai Feiyue knew Qiu Qi had arrived in her heart, so she quickly said, "Brother, don't worry. I'm in the palace, so no matter what, he can't be careless. As for you, you have to face him day and night. Don't let him find out that you already know the truth." With that, she turned around and looked behind her, "My servant girl has brought people from the Jing Zhao Prefecture. Hurry up and leave."

"Don't worry about me, I'm leaving."

As Qiu Wuliang flew away, Bai Feiyue's body instantly went limp.

At the same time, Qiu Qi rushed over with a large group of men. She was frightened when she saw the empress slumped over, and Bi Chun toppled to the side.

"Empress, Empress, are you alright!?" Qiu Qi rushed forward to support Bai Feiyue.

Bai Feiyue shook her head and said, "I went to see Bi Chun. He just fainted."

After a moment of confusion, he returned to Fengning Palace in the middle of the night. Only when he saw that Bai Feiyue was still unharmed and only slightly pale did he manage to calm down.

He pursed his lips and said somewhat angrily, "Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Bai Feiyue glanced at him, but didn't say anything. She simply walked over to the bed and fell asleep.

He mumbled, "Your majesty, you should go back to the Heaven and Earth Palace to sleep. Your concubine is too tired tonight and can't wait on your majesty anymore. Take your time."

Yuchen Ze held his breath and didn't want to get down. He stayed where he was for a while, then finally left with a sigh.

The next morning, Yuchen Ze went into a rage in the imperial court.

"It's really the opposite!"

The officials were silent.

"Fu Yunju!" Yuchen Ze shouted.

Fu Yun hurried forward and bent down, saying, "This subject is here!"

"The empress came out of your house last night, do you have any explanation for this matter!?"

Fu Yun complained even more incessantly, "Your Majesty, you have wronged this humble subject. Since the empress has already left the Prime Minister's Estate, how could this old subject know that she would be ambushed on her way back to the palace?"

"But I heard that the Empress had already sent someone to inform you when you were attacked yesterday. Why did you not appear, and why was it that Meng Wenli, who was notified later on, arrived first?"

Yesterday, Bai Feiyue had asked Qiu Qi to stand outside the Prime Minister's manor for a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour later, Bai Feiyue appeared before the manor once more, telling the Prime Minister's gatekeeper that the Empress had been ambushed and needed urgent assistance. She told Qiu Qi to not wait for them after he finished speaking and to go directly to the Jing Zhao Manor, informing them that the Empress was ambushed on her way back to the palace. The Jing Zhao Estate and the Prime Minister's Estate were on the same street, and if they wanted to enter the palace, they had to go in the same direction.

The moment Meng Wangli heard his name, he stepped forward and bowed. "When this subject arrived yesterday, the battle between the assassins and the guards had already ended. Only the empress and her personal palace maid survived. It's all thanks to the protection of the guards, otherwise, even if this subject had arrived, the empress would have already been poisoned."
