How could this be? If she could treat him, she had to. She didn't want to continue being so cold. This was too painful.

"I'm just a little surprised that Teacher knows medicine!"

Shiyan Qingjun glanced at her. He thought that she knew that there were many herbs in Cloud Valley. If he didn't understand, then how could he have decided to stay there?

"Let's not talk about whether it can be cured for now, but I promise it will be effective!"

Yun Duan smiled and nodded. In any case, his hand was not serious, but if it was not serious, it seemed to be serious.

The two of them sat at the tea table in silence. Shiyan Qingjun was elegantly making his tea, while Yun Duan was slowly eating a piece of cake. The snow outside was falling layer by layer, making the atmosphere quiet and beautiful.

The room was warm, and there was a good-looking man for her to admire. It was an excellent view.

When the sky gradually darkened, Yun Duan looked at the man and said, "It's time to go back!"

He had thought that he might not be able to find a good place to stay for the entire afternoon. If he really couldn't find a place to stay, then he might as well stay in an inn or a restaurant of some sort.

It was just that she did not expect him to have prepared everything long ago. It was truly surprising.

That's fine too, she didn't need to worry that he had no place to stay. Furthermore, he should like the house he found himself. She didn't need to worry about whether he was used to it or not.

"It's still early, no rush!" Siyan Qingjun's eyes were calm, but there was a touch of warmth on the corner of his lips.

Yun Duan looked at him and thought for a moment before speaking up, "The people serving in the palace will be anxious!"

When she came out, she didn't bring a single follower with her. It was already late in the night, and if she didn't go back now, she would worry about Qiong Ying and Qin Ni.

"Let's leave after dinner. I will send someone to inform the palace!"

Well, that was the only way.

There was roasted meat for dinner. The small antelope, Yun Duan, stared at it for a few times before turning to look at Si Yan Qing Jun, "Don't you think I like meat?" Why was he still getting someone to prepare so many dishes? A table full of meat was prepared, and he looked very happy.

Siyan Qingjun rubbed Yun Duan's heart, "It's not that I don't want you to eat it, it's that I want you to eat it well!"

"…"

She had been eating barbecue meat for more than three hundred years, so she was still healthy and completely unharmed.

Yun Duan picked up a piece of grilled meat and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing a few times, her eyes lit up even more as she smiled and nodded, "Delicious!"

Siyan Qingjun smiled and slowly sipped on his tea.

Yun Duan swallowed his saliva and looked at Siyan Qingjun, asking, "Are you not going to eat?"

Siyan Qingjun put down his teacup and slowly smiled, "It seems like you are more full than yourself!"

"…"

Was he really full when he watched others eat? What kind of logic was this?

"Do you like it?" Siyan Qingjun picked up a green vegetable and put it into his mouth. He looked at Yun Duan with a smile in his eyes.

Yun Duan nodded, "It would be even better if you ate it all. Such a small piece is only suitable for a scholar like you, Mister!" It didn't suit her at all.

However, it was still delicious.

After thinking for a moment, Siyan Qingjun said, "Okay, the next time I'll roast them into a whole. When that time comes, you can personally come and eat it!"

"…"

Yun Duan shook her head as she slowly ate her meat. From time to time, Shiyan Qingjun would place some vegetables in her bowl, reminding her that it was a perfect match.

It was already completely dark by the time he finished eating like this. The snow outside was getting heavier, and he had no intention of stopping.

Yun Duan glanced at him, then turned her head to look at the man. "So dark!"

It was indeed very dark, but she could still get used to it. After all, she had seen even darker people in the desolate mountain.

Siyan Qingjun put on the cloak, put on his hat, and then reached out and took her hand. Naturally, Yun Duan was startled, but she didn't say anything. She only felt that this mister was very considerate.

As the two of them entered the carriage, Yun Duan looked at Siyan Qingjun, who was sitting across from her. "I'll go back by myself. Mister shouldn't send me off!"

Siyan Qingjun's eyes were calm. "You are the current Emperor. You have to bring everything back no matter what I do. If you lose even the slightest bit, then I won't be able to afford ten heads!"

"…"

"This place is not far from the Myriad Temple. Nothing will happen!"

She felt that if she went back, this person would have to come back. How troublesome.

"Did you forget about the masked man in black?"

Startled, Yun Duan subconsciously opened his mouth, "How do you know about the masked man in black?"

Siyan Qingjun did not react to her outburst. He said indifferently, "The masked men have repeatedly attacked the Myriad Dawn Palace over the years. Previously, they had assassinated the Emperor, but now that it's you, although this is a secret, if I want to know, then nothing can be hidden from me!"

There seemed to be some deep meaning behind his words, but Yun Duan could not hear it. She could only frown, that masked man was indeed her nightmare, even now she did not know where he had come from. She only knew that his cultivation was at the pinnacle.

No matter what, Emperor Chen had a cultivation base. Although it wouldn't be as strong as the masked man, he would at least be able to hold on for a while.

She had no cultivation so she gave the remaining spiritual power to Old Yellow Dog. Although she was lucky enough to escape the two assassinations, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to escape the third time.

Thinking this way, it was better to have a master beside him. This Si Yan Qing Jun was very good. Mm, he was safer, so he might as well send him off to the end.

However, Yun Duan looked at Si Yan Qing Jun and asked with some hope, "About that, do you know who the masked man is?"

He shook his head. "The masked man is very mysterious. He has always come and gone without a trace. I've only started investigating recently, and there's no news of him yet!"

Yun Duan sighed. That was true. Even Emperor Chen had not been able to discover it after so many years. From this, it could be seen how deeply it was hidden. It would be somewhat difficult to dig it out.

"Don't worry, it's a fox. Sooner or later, it will be exposed, and I'll investigate as soon as I can!"

Yun Duan nodded and smiled, "Actually, I know that this matter is quite difficult. I have also sent people out but they were all killed. Moreover, their methods are extremely cruel. Just thinking about it makes one feel terrified!"

It was impossible to be afraid of such a brutal man.

"It's alright. Now that you have me by your side, no matter how high the masked man's cultivation is, I think I can still block it, so don't worry!"

Yun Duan chuckled, "Yes!"

Although he didn't know whether or not Shiyan Qingjun really wanted to help her, he didn't doubt that he wouldn't use someone else. Moreover, he didn't have any reason to harm her.

The only thing she had was this world. If he wanted it, he would have done it long ago. He said that even the Misty King had to rule the world.

Moreover, if he was interested in this position, he wouldn't be living in the Upper Cloud Valley, which was so far away from the Thousand Empire Mountain. It wouldn't be convenient for him to do anything.

Therefore, he couldn't possibly help her because of this position. So, what was he trying to do?

There was nothing to be gained from her.

Yun Duan couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it. Forget it, she would find out in the future.

Siyan Qingjun had sent her safely to Flowing Cloud Pavilion. She had wanted to send her to the entrance, but this person insisted on doing so. Yun Duan didn't have much to say, she could only leave it to him.

"It's already late, rest well!"

Yun Duan nodded and said with concern, "Sir, be careful when you return!"

"Alright!"

Only after watching the horse carriage leave did Qin Ni carry Yun into the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. She seemed to heave a sigh of relief as she said, "You took too long to return. My heart is in a panic!"

Qiong Ying poured Yun a cup of hot tea. "Although the Misty Monarch sent someone over to say that you want to have dinner in his mansion, but after all, you are following an unfamiliar person. How can we be at ease?"

Originally, when the two of them left, they didn't think much of it, but after they left, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was amiss.

What if the Misty King had other motives for his master, and didn't know how good his master's martial arts was? Even if he was the best, he still wouldn't be a match for the highly-cultivated Misty Lord.

Yun Duan chuckled, "The Misty Monarch is my husband now. He went to his mansion for a meal. What are you guys so surprised about?"

Qin Ni stared helplessly at Yun Duan. Although it was a bit against the rules, this master of hers was too worrisome.

"With your current level of cultivation, are you a match for the Misty Monarch?"

Yun Duan was slightly stunned. She hid the fact that everyone knew that she did not have spirit energy, did not have a divine bone, and had been stripped of her divinity. Even Qiong Ying and Qin Ni did not know about this.

"How could he be a match for Mister? His cultivation is so high that I can't even touch his side!"

Joan frowned slightly. Impossible?

"Did your cultivation not increase during your travels?" Even if he wasn't as powerful as the Misty Monarch, he could at least block a few moves. Why did Master say he couldn't even touch the edge of it?

Yun Duan looked at her teacup. 'About this, what should I say? Should I tell these two people that she isn't the real daughter of the Sinking Emperor? Moreover, she hasn't traveled for more than 300 years and has instead been living on her own in that barren mountain.'

But, can you tell me?

Qin Ni was quite calm, and Qiong Ying was also very smart. Logically speaking, she wouldn't tell anyone about this, but she was still a bit nervous, so she had to take things slowly.

She picked up her teacup and took a sip, then said lightly: "I've been busy playing around and never thought that I would inherit the throne, so my cultivation has always been stuck at the level of three hundred years ago!"

"…"

The two of them could no longer remain calm. How much fun did they have to forget about such a big thing?

However, it was too late to make amends now. The only thing left to do was to send more men to protect the Flowing Cloud Pavilion.

When Yun Duan saw the two letters, she heaved a sigh of relief. Initially, she did not want to lie to them, but knowing that there was one more person in danger, she had to be careful.

The next day, morning assembly.

Only Long Wind presented the imperial report asking how to deal with Uncle Wang.
