"What happened? Why are you sighing like that?" Zhu Yuhe asked Zhou Xuan, whose expression suddenly became ugly.
Zhou Xuan did not immediately answer her question and listened to the sound transmission coming to her, and she immediately turned to Zhu Yuhe. "My father is on a trip to this continent to meet me."
"Hmm?" Zhu Yuhe raised her eyebrows and asked again. "What happened? Why did he suddenly come here? And how did he know you were here?"
"Sigh, Yinyue told him that I live on this continent with Tian, so he immediately rushed over here." Zhou Xuan replied with a heavy sigh, for she didn't want to see her family again, especially since they had been apart for a long time.
After hearing that, Zhu Yuhe nodded in understanding and embraced Zhou Xuan. "Since Yinyue told your father about your presence on this continent, I believe she must have had a vision related to you guys, or else she wouldn't have done that."
"You are right." Zhou Xuan sighed softly. "Yinyue's abilities are too unique and terrifying, and I sometimes feel she can control our lives without us noticing."
"Yes." Zhu Yuhe had actually realized that too. "Honestly, I feel that Yinyue is hiding something from all of us, and Tian isn't aware of it either."
"What do you think she's hiding?" Zhou Xuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Zhu Yuhe shook her head. "I can't figure it out, for Yinyue is too secretive and mysterious. However, if my guess is correct, it has something to do with her character."
"Her character?" Zhou Xuan didn't understand Zhu Yuhe's meaning, for she didn't feel anything strange about Bai Yinyue's character.
Zhu Yuhe then asked her. "Do you remember that Yinyue is the next Oracle? To become one, she must undergo a hundred reincarnations. Moreover, Tian had said that the memories of all her reincarnations would slowly return to her; only then would she become the complete Oracle. Do you think she'll still be the same person after all her memories return?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Xuan's expression became solemn after hearing that, and she shook her head. "I'm sure all those memories will affect Yinyue's character more or less."
"Exactly." Zhu Yuhe responded with a nod. "Moreover, we don't know what Yinyue has experienced during her other 98 reincarnations, and Tian has only known her since her 99th reincarnation."
"Are you saying all those memories will change Yinyue's character?" Zhou Xuan asked seriously.
"Yes." Zhu Yuhe nodded. "However, I can't predict how far her character will change, whether she gets better or worse; we can only find out in the future. Anyway, since Zhou Ming is coming to this continent, it would be best if we go to Tian's mansion and wait for him there."
"Yes, that would be better, so he doesn't need to know about this fortress."
After Zhou Xuan agreed, they left the fortress and headed for the Sheng Imperial City.

Meanwhile, Bai Yinyue was standing before her two confidants. "Ling! Yi! You two lead the others to deal with Hu Duan's people."
"Eh?" They were surprised to hear that, and Ling asked her. "What happened, Princess? Why do you suddenly want to face Hu Duan?"
"You two need not be confused by that." Bai Yinyue replied with a faint smile. "I wanted to destroy Hu Duan for a long time, but I didn't have the strength to face him back then, but things have changed. I'm sure he has sent his men to capture me, especially after what I did at the banquet earlier. So it's time for us to fight back, and we will destroy all members of the imperial family, starting from those closest to him. However, you guys must do everything silently and not alert him."
Upon hearing that, Ling and Yi raised their eyebrows and nodded at her. "Very well, we will carry out your orders, Princess."
After they said that, the two people instantly disappeared from Bai Yinyue's sight, and Tang Qiu asked her. "Why do I feel you are different from the old you, Mistress?"
"En, I have indeed changed, Qiu'er." Bai Yinyue then asked her back. "Which do you think is better? The current me or the old me?"
"Hmm?" Tang Qiu thought for a while before answering her. "Back then, you don't have any power, and my Master must always protect you. As for the current you, I feel you are more like the old him, calculating and cunning."
"Haha." Bai Yinyue gave a soft laugh; she then embraced Tang Qiu. "Is that so? However, I still feel inferior to my old husband, for he is much more calculating and cunning than the current me."
Tang Qiu smiled wryly when she heard that, especially since she still remembered Long Tian's character. However, the current Xia Tian was far different from the old him.
"Anyway, let's deal with some rats that dare to intrude on my place." Bai Yinyue said as she walked onto the balcony, and Tang Qiu followed closely behind her.
After they arrived there, Bai Yinyue's eyes glanced around the area and smiled faintly. "Are you five still not coming out? I've been waiting for your arrival, Hu Duan's rats."
Soon, five men in black appeared before them and immediately used their auras to suppress the two women.
For a moment, Tang Qiu felt pressured by them. However, Bai Yinyue immediately used her aura to protect her, which shocked them.
Those men's eyes widened because Bai Yinyue could disperse their auras so easily, they exchanged glances and nodded to each other, and the five immediately drew their weapons to attack the two women.
However, as they approached Bai Yinyue and Tang Qiu, those people felt that their bodies became very light, and their movements became very slow.
Tang Qiu was dumbfounded seeing them like that, for she felt like she was watching them move in slow motion. 'Since when did my Mistress have such an ability? Does that mean she can control the flow of time around her now?'
Bai Yinyue smirked faintly, and twin white swords appeared in both hands. She then walked to the center of the five people and performed a sword dance; it was the Butterfly Dance Technique she had created in her past life.
Unlike Xia Xing and Murong Yuexin, Bai Yinyue's movements were much more nimble and agile, and she looked like an accomplished dancer.
"Argh!" The five people screamed in pain, significantly since Bai Yinyue's two swords quickly slashed their bodies. Even though they tried to block all her attacks, her movement was much faster than theirs.
Bai Yinyue danced relaxedly for a while, but the people were getting hurt by her two swords.
Tang Qiu took a deep breath as she saw a lot of blood flowing out from their bodies, but their blood was also dripping slowly. 'I can't imagine if people knowing this ability of my Mistress, and they would all be running scared by it.'
Sometime later, Bai Yinyue stopped dancing, and those people instantly fell to the ground dead, causing their blood to stain the balcony floor.
"Phew." Bai Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she had killed five people at once, but her expression had not changed at all. She then looked into the distance and disappeared from Tang Qiu's sight.
A few seconds later, Bai Yinyue appeared in front of another black-robed man, shocking him. "I didn't expect Hu Duan to send you here, Hu Yi."
"Princess Yinyue-"
"You don't have to say anything." Bai Yinyue directly interrupted Hu Yi and used her previous technique, causing his movements to become extremely slow. She then pointed her sword at his chest and said again. "Since you are on his side, you must die today."
After saying that, Bai Yinyue directly thrust her sword into Hu Yi's chest, and blood slowly spurted out of his mouth and chest. "Ugh!"
Hu Yi kept looking at Bai Yinyue in shock, for he never thought that a woman who was so weak in his eyes could actually kill him so easily.
"You and Hu Duan underestimated me too much." Bai Yinyue enveloped her body with energy and swung her other sword to behead Hu Yi directly.
After Bai Yinyue canceled the technique, Hu Yi's blood immediately spurted from his neck, and his body fell swiftly to the ground.
After that, Bai Yinyue cleaned her swords from the bloodstains and stored them again, and she immediately returned to Bai Palace.
After Bai Yinyue reappeared before her, Tang Qiu immediately shook her head and said. "Mistress, the current you are really cruel, and somehow I feel you are very similar to the old Master."
"Hehe. After all, I was Tian's wife in two lifetimes, and I've been through a lot with him, so it's natural for me to be similar to him, right?" Bai Yinyue replied with a faint smile.
"I guessed that my Master still doesn't know about this, right?"
Bai Yinyue shook her head. "I haven't said anything to Tian, for I still can't understand some things, but I will tell him everything later."
"I see." Tang Qiu nodded in understanding.
.
.

Meanwhile, Ling and Yi had already stood before many people. They immediately explained everything to them, causing them to cheer with joy, especially since they had been waiting a long time to destroy Hu Duan.
After that, they all rushed towards the White Tiger Imperial City at full speed, for they couldn't wait to carry out Bai Yinyue's orders.
