Along the forest trail, the clear blue sky reflects the lush green of the distant mountains. The dust in the forest rises lightly, and fireflies surround the leaf tips.

Balian walked behind her and finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"What is the relationship between grandma and the eldest princess Zhao Wenjun?"

It's midsummer, and the bright red cannas on the wild edges of the mountains and forests are in full bloom.

At this moment, Ying Ji seemed to have completely forgotten Baili Yu, and she bent down to hold the flower.

The long and delicate hand bone falls on the flower stem, breaks it gently, puts the flower horizontally in the mouth, and takes a sip. The flower juice is like honey, overflowing between the lips and teeth, and it is very sweet.

She turned and played with the flowers in her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "As you can see, we were once love rivals."

Balian rubbed his brows and said: "You let her take advantage of you in vain because of your love rival. That's your spiritual root. It's you who suffer, but it's her who enjoys the benefits."

Ying Ji smiled and said, "How did you know she was just sitting back and enjoying the success?"

Balian looked puzzled.

Ying Ji sighed: "I just gave an answer that all three of us were looking forward to."

"I know Bailiyu very well. When he asked that question, his truest thoughts were revealed in his eyes for a split second.

He comes from a Qingliu family and cherishes his reputation most. As the leader of the Tianxi Sword Sect, he wields a sword to control demons in troubled times.

However, the evil way is rampant and the righteous way is in decline. He is ashamed to associate with the evil way, but he has to rely on the power of the Zhongyou Dynasty to help him help the world."

Ying Ji smiled bitterly and continued: "This alone was enough to trap him for many years. He thought that as the master of the Tiandao Sword, he should lead by example, but he married the Empress Zhongyou and received the favor from Zhongyou.

For a man whose self-confidence is stronger than his life, your unreserved and dedicated efforts to help him will only make him feel heavier.

I think he is more willing to accept that a woman he doesn't love but comes from a pure and orthodox background has sacrificed his future to save him from fire and water.

Xiao An, you don’t have to show such an expression. It doesn’t matter to me whether Bailiyu knows the truth or not. Do you think I still expect his tenderness in return?

I saved him back then because I wanted him to live. That was my original intention. It was as simple as that.

As for Zhao Wenjun...heh, maybe you have guessed it, yes, she is indeed the true master of the dark city?

The frail princess who needs to rely on the Holy Medicine of Tianxi to extend her longevity is actually the master in charge of the darkest and most filthy place in the world. It seems ridiculous when you think about it, doesn't it?"

Balian's mood was complicated: "Sure enough, only women understand women best?"

Ying Ji said: "Do you know which kind of person is the most amazing in this world? Not a savior hero like Bailiyu who is born with a strong sense of justice, has a noble voice, and has great achievements.

He is not a small person like Yin Dufeng, who came from a humble background, fought against fate, and rose up from the bottom step by step.

What is truly remarkable are those people who have all the reputations, rights, backgrounds, and origins from birth, but still pursue their original dreams that remain consistent?

People who do not hesitate to defile themselves and let themselves be covered with dust and fall into the abyss without fear.

She is not like me, the born empress of Zhongyou, who is feared by the world and is always associated with death.

She personally knocked herself off the altar and ran into the darkness alone, carrying her sins. This alone was far beyond what a spiritual root could compare to.

I used to be stupid and narrow-minded, so narrow-minded that I only pretended to be the next person, but Zhao Wenjun was different. Compared with Bailiyu...

I think she is the one who truly cares about the world.

She is ambitious and strategic, and can sacrifice petty interests for the greater good. In this regard, I am not as good as her, and Bailiyu is far inferior to her."

Speaking of this, Ying Ji paused, as if she had realized something, and she looked at Bai Lian steadily:

"You know very well about Zhao Wenjun being the Lord of the Dark City and the matter between the spiritual roots. Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you have already met her in the human world. Every line of your words is full of resentment towards your mother.

Don't you... think that Zhao Wenjun was attracted to Bailiyu and carried out the insidious act of seizing love with a knife?"

Balian's eyes suddenly looked away with guilt, not daring to look at her.

Ying Ji narrowed her narrow phoenix eyes, turned his head straight up, pinned the red canna between her son's ears and temples, and smiled?

"With your little head, you can't imagine that you have imagined a intrigue and intrigue, in which the snake-hearted eldest princess covets the husband of Empress Zhongyou.

While she was viciously trying to drive a wedge between each other, I, the stupid empress who didn’t understand people’s hearts, suffered all kinds of hidden injustices at her hands.

She used all kinds of tricks and tried her best to win Bailiyu's trust, which gradually caused my husband and me to drift apart.

After I cut out the spiritual root, I explained to Bailiyu pitifully and humbly, crying with snot and tears, that the spiritual root under your chest was dedicated to him by me.

Then Zhao Wenjun appeared with a pitiful appearance, suffering from dimples, suffering from demonic diseases, and dripping with tears, like a delicate flower shining on the water or a weak willow supporting the wind.

Then she snuggled pitifully in Bailiyu's arms, panting and crying like a sick child.

Bailiyu had no doubts about her gift of spiritual roots, so this couple hit it off and trampled on me, humiliating and ridiculing me in every possible way? I was helpless, like a brainless old woman with a yellow face and a serious illness.

Shen Ke couldn't win against the vixen who was flirting with her outside, so she was so angry that she secretly vomited three liters of blood, which was very painful."

Ying Ji was eloquent and catchy, and the more she spoke, the more it sounded like it was true, and every word she spoke spoke to Balian's heart.

This is what he was thinking when he knew that it was Ying Ji who dug out the spiritual roots and rescued Baili Yu, but Zhao Wenjun sat there and pretended to be sick for two hundred years.

At that time, he almost felt sorry for his mother's suffering.

So out of anger, he would...

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound.

Bailian's cheek was slapped hard by Ying Ji's two palms, and her facial features were tightly clamped between her palms. Ying Ji made a long face:

"My mother knows that you are a bad-tempered and protective person. Tell me honestly, what did you do to Zhao Wenjun?"

It is said that a child is like a mother. Seeing that she could no longer survive, Balian had no choice but to bar his fangs and said with a sad face:

"The eldest princess is just like my mother-in-law, she has a stubborn temper. She didn't tell me the whole story clearly, and she looked like she was so proud of your spiritual roots.

I was so angry that I was dizzy. I was seriously injured in the Tianxi Sword Sect. I lost too much blood and was not very clear-headed.

When she reacted, she was almost sucked to death by me. Fortunately, Zhao Wenjun was not just sitting around waiting to die. With her strong desire to survive, she instinctively bit me.

In this way, the promise granted by the Corpse Demon Clan can be considered successful, and now she... should be regarded as half of my descendants."

Ying Ji opened her eyes bit by bit, and suddenly burst into laughter. This feat could no longer be tolerated, and she burst into laughter.

"Grant me a contract, that stinky guy Zhao Wenjun was actually granted a contract by my son.

She is considered your descendant now. When he sees me in the future, he is not allowed to call me grandma?

Hahaha...I can't wait to see her now."

How could Ying Ji not know about Zhao Wenjun's temperament? She just liked to pretend to be her identity and play unpredictable tricks.

Presumably she didn't necessarily have bad intentions towards Balian at that time, and she definitely had the intention of deliberately irritating and irritating him and playing with him.

Who would have known that he would actually be playing with fire and getting himself burned?

Balian: "..."

He finally discovered that he did not misunderstand Grandma.

Grandma is really at odds with the eldest princess Zhao Wenjun.

It is true that she admires Zhao Wenjun and sympathizes with Zhao Wenjun, but it is also true that she takes pleasure in others' misfortunes, and it is even more true that she wants to be her grandma and suppress her!

Women, their thoughts are like the ocean, and there are many changes in the situation.

Not long after, Yin Baishuang ate melon seeds and slowly came to have sex with Balian's mother and son.

Seeing her light smile and crooked eyes, Balian thought something good had happened.

Unexpectedly, Yin Baishuang shook off the melon seed shells from her palms, smiled sweetly, and said: "Nothing, just chatting with Senior Sister Yun Rong of Tianxi Sword Sect.

In the past, I only knew the name of this swordsman, who was so powerful in the world, but today, when I took a closer look, I realized that Senior Sister Yunrong is really a beautiful woman with a natural beauty. My little Anke is really lucky."

Under Yin Baishuang's beautiful smile, Bai Lian's body trembled slightly, and the back of his neck suddenly felt chilly.

She really cared about that matter.

Ying Ji looked shocked and asked after Bagua: "Xiao Yunrong?"

Then he looked at Balian with a meaningful look, nodded, and then shook his head, with a very rich expression.

"It's been many years. I remember that Bailiyu still thought about allocating Xiaoyunrong to Xiaojunhe. After all, Xiaoyunrong admired her senior brother the most.

Unexpectedly, when Bailiyu brought up this matter, Xiaoyunrong was unwilling in every possible way, saying that he had no man in his heart and was a god of nature who drew his sword.

At that time I thought she didn't like Jun, but now it turns out that it wasn't that she didn't like Jun, but that Xiao Junhe wasn't handsome enough.

Well... I just didn't see you grow up, so how could I accidentally develop you to have such a carefree temperament?

Why doesn't the rabbit eat the grass next to the nest? That's your fourth senior sister, who has watched you grow up since childhood. She is almost eighty years older than you. She is more than qualified to be your grandmother, but she is not as young and beautiful as Xiaoshuang.

I can warn you, as a human being, you need to be content with Xiaoshuang. Don’t mess around with other women."

Empress Ying Ji was very fair and impartial, expressing her special preference for Yin Baishuang. She scolded Bailian's behavior in a rare and stern and righteous manner, and said that his behavior was extremely immoral.

After Yin Baishuang was successfully coaxed by Empress Yingji, she jumped up and down and said that she was going to pick cannas for her.

Balian naturally looked like he was open-minded and willing to be taught.

But after a while, the empress pulled Bilian to the side of the woods with a stern look.

"Xiao Yunrong has a weird temperament, but I think she is pretty good. She is the most transparent person in the entire Tianxi Sword Sect.
