As they walked home, Jia Li came in a hurry. He paid his respects to Xuan Yi and Xionglue. “Sorry princess, master. There are some problems I have to solve first.”
“It's okay aunt, I'm fine.”
“Mr princesses should be kept tighter. Prepare a swordsman to take care of him,” Xionglue said coldly.
“Good, I will prepare it.”
Although Jia Li had come, Xionglue had still driven Xuan Yi home. He was worried that something would happen to the girl.
After reaching the gate of the house, Xionglue left. He had been offered to enter by Xuan Yi and Jia Li, but he refused.
Once again, Jia Li apologized and calmed down in front of Xuan Yi. “I'm sorry Princess, I don't mean to be late to pick you up.”
“Auntie, why do you have to be so calm?” Xuan Yi held onto both of Jia Li's shoulders and invited him to stand up.
After standing up, she continued, “I know aunt is busy, so late looking for me. Auntie doesn't need to apologize, look, I'm back alive with no injuries. And after all who would dare with this princess?”
“Mr princess, you are very good. Aunty will not repeat it again.”
“now I want to sleep, aunty can rest.”
Jia Li nodded and saluted then left.
After Jia Li left, Xuan Yi then went to look for her mother. He asked everyone he met. They said his mother is now very busy, maybe midnight will come home.
Knowing she would not meet her mother, she decided to sleep in her room. Xuan Yi wanted to meet his mother, just to have a conversation about what he had learned today and invite his mother to teach him tomorrow.
Inside the room, there were several living candles, Xuan Yi blew them all away and then slept.

Right at midnight, Su Jiao finally returned home. He was escorted by several ladies. His body was currently feeling extremely exhausted.
Not far from there, there were several tables and small chairs to sit on, he decided to sit there and ordered his bodyguards to leave.
His guards were reluctant to leave after seeing the pale princess's face, but hearing her firm tone, they had no other choice.
After they left, Su Jiao placed her head on the table and spread out one hand. She enjoyed when her skin touched the cold surface of the table. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
All day, he was very busy. After meeting with the healers, and proposing his plan, it turned out that there were some problems to the proposal.
First, the materials he proposed to replace the actual materials, were hard to find and did not exist in the Su empire, in any province. If you buy it in another country, of course, it will be very expensive, considering the taxes that will be borne. Therefore, Su Jiao then went to Xionglue's place.
He had known the woman for years and had broken down her various problems. With his knowledge, he hoped to find a solution.
At that time, he hinted at Xionglue not to tell his son about his presence.
Then they take a walk. Su Jiao directly expressed her intention, “You know where to buy these materials?” he immediately pulled out a list and handed it over.
Su Jiao's voice eroded among the passersby and shouted. That afternoon the atmosphere of the green mountain village was very crowded. It was seen that at some point people were talking to each other and playing around. Children will run around playing propellers made of paper. The merchants started to promote their products.
Su Jiao would never be known by her people, because she always left in disguise. With his cultivation level now, he could easily fool people. However if it was a swordsman, then it would be a problem for him.
“Xionglue, you are very good at hiding things like this from me, but thank you for this important information. If I had known earlier, then you would have felt what it was like to sleep in iron bars.”
Xionglue remained calm hearing the threat. “Your highness, I will escort you there.”
“No need, there is someone else who will control me. You just need to take care of my son right now. Xionglue, remember, if anything happens to him, I can lift my sword to kill you.”
Acaman was now able to scare Xionglue away. The princess of the Su empire was one of the greatest people ever, even though she never held a sword, it did not mean that she could not do so.
Xionglue said in a calm voice, “You can trust me.”
“I go first.”
Xionglue lowered his head and clenched both of his hands forward.
After that, a horse carriage was prepared for him and a young man whom he had saved a few days earlier became a coachman. Su Jiao ordered to go to the southern province.
Their journey did not go well; after walking for several hours, 20 people dressed in black emerged from the bushes. They were like ninjas ambushing their enemies.
But unfortunately a young man who became a coachman did not look afraid at all. He looked at the twenty people coldly. “Then I've been adventuring for years, I always see the same scene.” He took the sword he had brought from the chariot.
When the sword had come out, he said calmly, “My sword is very bloodthirsty. All these years this sword had sensed all sorts of blood. If your blood does not want to be felt by him let us pass.”
The twenty people paid no heed to the young man's words; they immediately ran and simultaneously jumped. In the air they pointed their weapons.
The young man smiled coldly.
One of the men landed and swung a sword towards the young man. Unfortunately, the young man disappeared quickly. Then suddenly blood came out from the man's chest, then a single prick suddenly appeared and pierced through the heart. And the man was killed.
Then a white flash appeared surrounding the remains of the people in the air. Then they suddenly fell down and blood began to flow. The glint was extremely fast, and as it flashed, the cries of people sounded.
The young man reappeared in the same place and looked at the corpses coldly.
“You have a fairly high cultivation level.” Su Jiao's voice sounded cold from within.
The young man sat back down. “They are very weak.” He then drove his horse and then left.
When night fell, they finally arrived at a hut with willow trees that were on both sides of the gate. Nothing interesting about that house. Both red lanterns hung on the tree. Such is the headquarters of the Lotus trading company. Su Jiao walked up gracefully and opened the door.
At that time, a quiet atmosphere appeared in the courtyard of the house, there was only one woman who was sweeping in the courtyard. He directly approached Su Jiao, “Goodnight miss, can I help you?”
“You don't need to ask like that.” Said the young man who was beside Su Jiao.
The woman was confused and asked, “What do you mean?”
“We want to buy stuff now. You don't have to pretend like that.”
The woman scrunched her forehead. “If you want to buy something, this is not the place.”
Su Jiao was so bored by this lie, she then walked over to the door.
Seeing that, the woman walked over with a panicked expression. He held tightly to the broom in his hand. Slowly twist it, and quickly pull it. A sword appeared from there. He then exclaimed, “If you force your way in, then you will die!”
