Yunni's eyes widened instantly, showing an expression of disbelief. This was because Yunzheng's demeanor towards her was as if he were treating an insignificant person, devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

Yun Ni's face turned red with anger as she cried, "Yun Zheng! How could you treat me like this!" With tears welling up in her eyes, she stomped her feet fiercely and turned around, running away.

Yun Zheng's corner of the mouth twitched.

How did he treat Yunni? He didn't hit or scold her, he just ignored her. Is this acceptable? Why is this woman so capricious? How did Zhong Chufei fall for her in the first place? Could it be because of her appearance?

At the beginning of the month, Fei also felt that Yunni was somewhat inexplicable, but it seemed like girls had the right to be capricious. Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed Yunzheng turning his head to look at him, and there seemed to be a meaning in his gaze that he couldn't put into words, as if... disdain?

Yue Chu Fei shook his head in confusion, not understanding why.

Yun Zheng turned his head and looked at Yue Chutang, saying, "Go find her and bring her back, then escort her to the Yunshang Sect."

Yue Chutang hesitated for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes." After speaking, he quickly turned around and chased after Yun Ni's departing figure.

The other disciples were eagerly watching this play of "I love him, he loves you". Suddenly, they noticed Yun Zheng looking their way, and immediately became fully focused, earnestly selecting outstanding disciples for the sect.

After a while, Yue Chutang indeed sent a message back, saying that he would take Yun Ni back to the sect first. Yun Zheng only glanced at it and didn't reply.

Soon, the selection came to an end.

Standing behind is the Yunshang Sect, naturally not worried about not receiving disciples.

The situation is still quite good, as the sect has discovered three more dual spiritual roots.

The crowd did not linger and immediately went to the Yue family to pick up the others, then took these selected children to the next stop, Chao Hua City.

Due to the fact that the flying sword could accommodate around three people, Yun Zheng quickly allocated the number of people and immediately displayed his ice soul sword. Stepping onto it, he extended his hand to Yue Chufei and said, "Come up."

At the beginning of the month, Fei's eyes burst with a radiant brilliance, resembling a star. Then, he extended his hand and grasped Yun Zheng's hand before leaping onto the flying sword.

When Yue Chufei jumped onto the platform, Yun Zheng suddenly realized that Yue Chufei did not have any spiritual energy protection at this time, and he was afraid that she would be injured by the icy power of the Frostbite Sword during the flight. So he gently embraced Yue Chufei in his arms before saying to the disciples behind him, "Let's go to Chaohua City."

"Yes!"

Instantly, the flying sword soared into the sky.

Yun Zheng and his companions only stayed in the city of Chaohua for one day before setting off again, heading towards the capital city of the Great Qin Kingdom, Chang'an.

The mortal realm of the Qingkun Continent has three major countries and countless smaller nations, with the Qin Kingdom being widely recognized as the hegemon. Each of the five major sects of cultivation has sent cultivators to establish a presence here. Furthermore, the royal family has enshrined several Deity Transformation stage cultivators, ensuring that Chang'an City remains impregnable and no one dares to challenge its might.

At nightfall, the lights of Chang'an City were magnificent, presenting a scene of prosperity and grandeur.

Yun Zheng entered the city and looked at the crowded streets filled with people bustling about. In his heart, he was overwhelmed with countless thoughts, yet he didn't know where to begin.

Sixteen years have passed.

Has it really been 16 years?

If his parents hadn't died, perhaps he would still be a little prince unaware of worldly worries. Of course, there are no "ifs" in this world. Destiny had long ordained him to become a pawn of the heavens, a cannon fodder propelling the plot forward.

Even Yun Zheng, who always presents himself as aloof, cannot help but feel a tinge of sadness and nostalgia at this moment.

"Master?" A soft and tender call suddenly came from Yu Chunfei beside his ear.
