“No, I definitely won’t agree.” Shen Liu’an was so angry that he sobered up. “You’ve been to the ghost race once and escaped death before coming back. Do you know that when you went to the ghost race previously, 1 was so worried that I couldn’t sleep? This time, you still want to go alone. Do you want to anger me to death? If you really want to go, bring your brothers with you. Otherwise, let me follow you, and let me accompany you.”

“Hubby, don’t worry. Listen to Yaoyao first.” Seeing that Shen Liu’an’s face had turned red from anger, Song Lanyue slowly said to Shen Yaowei, “Yaoyao, do you have your own thoughts?”

“Mother, 1 know you all care about me, but it’s already a difficult thing to go to the ghost race. With my brothers, I’ll be even more restrained. This time, I must destroy the ghost race, so I’m the only one who’s worried. Don’t worry and wait for me to return at home.” Shen Yaowei let go of Song Lanyue and approached Shen Liu’an. Like before, she pulled his sleeve and wheedled. “Father, just agree to it, alright? Tell me that you believe in my strength, and that I can do it!”

Shen Liu’an’s serious expression gradually collapsed. He sighed heavily. “I believe you have the strength. I’m worried that once you take revenge for His Highness Li, you’ll lose your target. Yaoyao, I want you to promise that, no matter the outcome of this trip to the ghost race, you have to live well when you return.”

Shen Yaowei trembled slightly. She didn’t expect her father to be afraid that she would kill herself after taking revenge and losing her living target…

She didn’t dare say that she wouldn’t have thoughts of living after she couldn’t find Huo Junhan. Shen Yaowei fell silent.

“You girl, you actually have such a ridiculous idea?!” Shen Liu’an’s face darkened again when he saw that Shen Yaowei was silent.

“Father, 1 promise you.” Shen Yaowei stopped Shen Liu’an from finishing his sentence. “Father, can I set off now?”

“Go. Be careful and come back as soon as possible,” Song Lanyue agreed.

Shen Yaowei turned around to hide the bitterness in her eyes.

If Junhan really couldn’t return, she could live, but this also destined her to become a walking corpse.

Song Lanyue knew this very well. She pulled Shen Liu’an back and shook her head. “Stop forcing her. She’s our daughter. We should respect her no matter what she wants to do.”

Shen Liu’an was stunned. Then, his eyes turned red as he lowered his head silently.

On this side, after Shen Yaowei returned to the courtyard she lived in, she realized that the aura in the courtyard was especially cold. The secret guards had serious expressions.

She could clearly feel a strange aura spreading in the air. When Shen Yaowei saw Yan Bei walk out of her room with a straight face, she couldn’t help but narrow her eyes and ask, “What happened?”

Yan Bei’s expression was extremely dark. He lowered his voice and said to Shen Yaowei, “Your Highness, the Imperial Preceptor is in your room. Just now, we wanted to stop the Imperial Preceptor, but his strength is way above ours…” Even if Yan Bei didn’t finish speaking, Shen Yaowei could guess. “I understand. You guys guard outside the door.”

After Shen Yaowei entered the room, she immediately saw Qi Yuan sitting at the table.

In less than a month, Shen Yaowei was very surprised that Qi Yuan would actually become thin and haggard.

The aura emanating from Qi Yuan’s body was as indifferent as an immortal. A cold light rolled in his eyes. Not only had he lost weight, but there was also a heavy layer of dark circles under his eyes. The moment he saw Shen Yaowei, the corners of his mouth curled up. “Miss Shen, long time no see. I’ve been busy handling many trivial things previously and couldn’t come to visit, but I heard that Miss Shen’s health is much better.”

Shen Yaowei nodded, and there were no ripples in her voice. “Thank you for your concern, Lord Imperial Preceptor. Lord Imperial Preceptor, 1 still have something to do outside. Since you see that I’m fine, please leave.”

“I heard that Miss Shen was going to the ghost race this time, so 1 especially came,” Qi Yuan said slowly.

Shen Yaowei’s gaze turned a little cold. “The last time, you stopped me in the ghost race’s territory. You didn’t come to stop me this time, right?”

“Of course not. What happened last time has already been unforgettable in my life. I won’t do the same thing a second time. This time, I came to discuss destroying the ghost race. I…”

Shen Yaowei raised her hand to stop Qi Yuan from finishing his sentence. “After what happened last time, I’ve already clearly realized that I can’t cooperate with the Imperial Preceptor. 1 don’t care how the Imperial Preceptor wants to target the ghost race, but I won’t act with you.”

She knew very well that Qi Yuan was a person who would prioritize the big picture, but she had already planned to risk everything this time. There was no need for Qi Yuan to worry about her safety behind her back.

“Miss Shen still blames me for not being able to save Junhan.” Qi Yuan seemed to have long expected this outcome, and the smile on his lips was a little bitter.

“You’re wrong. 1 know that you can sacrifice everything for the sake of the world. It’s not that I don’t agree with Junhan’s choice, but I’m just unwilling to abandon him.” The scene of Huo Junhan deciding to sacrifice everything couldn’t help but appear in Shen Yaowei’s mind.

She understood Junhan. She respected his choice, but she couldn’t accept being separated from him!

Qi Yuan was slightly stunned. He looked at Shen Yaowei with a different admiration. “In that case, Junhan is more blessed than me.”

“Imperial Preceptor, the blessing between a man and a woman is reciprocal,” Shen Yaowei said calmly as she looked at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to hide the regret that flashed in them. Then, she recovered her usual expression. “I can provide the latest news about the ghost race, and if you want to receive the news, you have to bring me to the ghost race’s territory.”

“That depends on whether the information given by you is worth this.” Shen Yaowei wasn’t in a hurry to get up and leave. Instead, she sat opposite Qi Yuan.

Killing intent appeared in Qi Yuan’s cold eyes. “Dugu Aoyun isn’t dead yet.”

“How could this be…?” Shen Yaowei’s heart trembled. She knew very well that Qi Yuan wouldn’t joke about such a thing.

“Back then, 1 planted a spiritual mark on Dugu Aoyun’s body. Originally, after Junhan’s aura disappeared, Dugu Aoyun’s aura disappeared for a period of time. But yesterday, his aura that had originally disappeared condensed again, but his aura was very dispirited. 1 think he should have been heavily injured by Junhan and lost his body and most of his soul, leaving only a remnant soul lingering at death’s door. However, he has the Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline. It’s just a matter of time for him to revive. In at most half a year, he can have a new body,” Qi Yuan said solemnly.

“The people of the ghost race are indeed troublesome. We can’t kill them no matter what.” Shen Yaowei’s red lips curled into a sharp arc. “In that case, I’ll kill my way into the palace and personally destroy his remnant soul.”

“The most troublesome thing now isn’t to kill Dugu Aoyun but to think of a way to stop him from obtaining a new body. Just as I said, he has the possibility of reviving because he has the Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline, and if he wants to recover as soon as possible, he also needs other Ten Thousand Evil Bloodlines to help him.” Qi Yuan paused for a moment and continued, “As long as someone with the Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline helps, he can cultivate a new body faster. At the moment, apart from him, the purest Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline in the ghost race is his goddaughter, Dugu Yao..”
