Without Si Yun and Ji Yunxi causing trouble, the people left behind were in a state of disunity. They were not much of a threat.

The First Elder brought his clansmen and bowed to Ji Luo shakily. “Thank you, Valley Master, for pleading on our behalf. I have a presumptuous request. I don’t know if I should say it.”

“Then don’t say it.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.

The First Elder’s eyelids twitched. He lowered his eyes and said, “We’re used to

living in the valley. I’m afraid we won’t be able to walk out of the cliff ridge. I

hope Valley Master will allow us to return to our ancestral home.”

“First Elder, have you forgotten that I’m no longer the Valley Master?” Ji Luo glanced at the group of people in front of her. She said indifferently, “As for where you go from now on, that’s your freedom. I won’t interfere.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

The people behind the First Elder quickly bowed and thanked her. “Thank you,

Madam.”

After confirming that they could leave, the group helped each other leave.

Looking in the direction they left, Shen Yijia asked in confusion, “Is it difficult to leave the cliff ridge?”

Song Jingchen rubbed her head. “It’s their hearts that can’t leave.”

These people had lived here for generations and had long deviated from the outside world. Even if the outside world was prosperous, it was not suitable for them to survive.

“Do you think Ji Yunxi will return to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets?”

“Can we wait for them?” she thought. “No.” Song Jingchen shook his head.

‘Why?”

“Because the location of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets has been exposed, and their hearts are not here. Since they’ve already left, why would they go back?”

“Then where will they go?”

Song Jingchen’s eyes darkened. “The Wu Kingdom.”

Xuanyuan Ce had walked over at some point. When he heard this, he frowned and said, “I’ve already sent someone to inform the surrounding prefecture cities to set up checkpoints everywhere. I think there’ll be news soon.”

The cliff ridge was so big that no one knew which direction they would leave from. Although setting up checkpoints to investigate them one by one was a little passive, it was the best method at the moment.

Even if Song Jingchen knew that Lord Jing’an had a high status in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, he didn’t expect him to do this. He didn’t even need to ask the emperor for instructions.

Seeing his confusion, Xuanyuan Ce said angrily, “I usually don’t interfere in the affairs of the government. If someone dares to assassinate me, can’t I be willful for a while?”

Besides, not every emperor was as narrow-minded as the emperor of Great Xia.

Shen Yijia widened her eyes. “You’re not allowed to scold my husband.” Xuanyuan Ce choked. “When did I scold him?”

“You’re talking so loudly, and you’re saying that you didn’t scold him?”

“I…” Whose voice was louder? Xuanyuan Ce covered his chest and said aggrievedly, “Girl, you can’t be so biased.”

Shen Yijia didn’t feel that she was biased. Her heart was already with Song Jingchen. She snorted and pulled Song Jingchen away.

Regardless of whether Shen Yijia acknowledged him as her father, Xuanyuan Ce was still her elder. When he passed by him, Song Jingchen nodded at him with a friendly smile.

In Xuanyuan Ce’s opinion, this was undoubtedly showing off. He was so angry that his eyes lit up and he looked at Ji Luo. “Ah Luo.” Without even looking at him, Ji Luo turned around and left.

Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

Chu Feng went forward to support him worriedly. “Your Highness.”

Xuanyuan Ce put away his injured expression in a second and smiled. “Inform everyone to pack up and leave the mountain tomorrow.”

At night, Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen were about to rest when MO Yuan suddenly looked for them.

“Master asked me to bring Young Master and Miss somewhere.” As she spoke, she took out a jade token.

“Hey, isn’t this the piece I gave you?”

The words “Heavenly Secrets” were engraved on the jade token. It was the one Shen Yijia had given to Song Jingchen in the secret chamber of the Qilin Mountain.

Song Jingchen explained, “I wanted to come to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, so I brought it with me. Later on, I met Madam, so I returned it to its rightful owner.”

Shen Yijia suddenly understood.

Knowing that Ji Luo wouldn’t harm them, the two of them didn’t ask where they were going. They carefully avoided the soldiers outside and followed MO Yuan silently into the forest.

When the three of them returned to the camp, the sky was already bright.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Ce also received the news reported by the Demon

Guards. He waved his hand. “It’s good that they’re back.”

After breakfast, everyone was already prepared to leave, but they were told that Xuanvuan Ce was not feeling well and wanted to stav for another dav.

Shen Yijia was the happiest to hear this news.. This meant that she could catch up on her sleep!
