The night outside the window was gradually replaced by the dawn. A new day came, but Bai Suzhen was sleepless all night. For 1,700 years, she had been practicing alone in the mountains. In the past thousand years, she had never felt so lost as she did now. Although she had practiced for a thousand years, she was like a three-year-old child emotionally. She didn't know how to deal with it at all. And she had to admit that Xiaoqing's words made her confused. She didn't know why she was confused and why she felt so powerless. But the mood of watching the sun rise and set and the clouds roll and unfold indifferently in the past has now completely disappeared. Now she is more confused.

"Sister, it's time for breakfast." When Xiaoqing entered Bai Suzhen's room, she saw Bai Suzhen leaning against the bed, frowning slightly, and looking infinitely worried. Seeing Bai Suzhen like that, Xiaoqing's heart ached fiercely. She pursed her lips, silently put the breakfast on the table, and then turned and left the room. Maybe Bai Suzhen didn't want to see her at all now. She probably brought her too much trouble, which made her look so confused.

"Qing'er." Bai Suzhen called Xiaoqing. She stood up and walked to the table. Looking at the meals carefully prepared on the table, all of them were her favorites. She knew without any guessing that they were all made by Xiaoqing. Some of the snacks took an hour or two to make. Calculating the time, these meals should have been made by Xiaoqing since she came back. It turned out that she was not the only one who had a sleepless night. Staring blankly at the table full of meals, Bai Suzhen felt that the softest part of her heart was hit hard. A kind of happiness and touching that she had never felt before spread in her heart. After a long time, she sighed softly, raised her eyes and smiled at Xiaoqing, and said softly: "Don't you want to sit down and eat with me?"

Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head, forcing a smile and saying, "No, I'd better not disturb my sister." After that, she turned around and left quickly.

Turning the end of the corridor, Xiaoqing stopped running and punched the stone pillar beside her in annoyance. Just now, she actually fled in panic. Ha, it turns out that there are times when Xiaoqing is afraid to face things. She is actually afraid of seeing a trace of alienation on Bai Suzhen's face, so she would rather choose to take the initiative to keep a distance from her. Leaning against the stone pillar, Xiaoqing slid down to the ground weakly, looking up at the sky, her heart was empty. She said she would stay, and she decided to wait. Although the road ahead was uncertain, she would not give up, unless Bai Suzhen drove her away. Otherwise, even if she waited like this for a lifetime, Xiaoqing would have no regrets. She remembered that her mother once said that when you meet the person you love, whether it is fate or disaster, you need to face it calmly. Don't regret your choice, let alone blame others. Xiaoqing always remembered these words, so since she has chosen, she will not regret her decision. Taking a deep breath, Xiaoqing slowly turned her head and looked towards the east. Suddenly, she missed her mother whom she had not seen for a long time. Ever since she was injured by the evil dragon and reincarnated, she has never returned to the East China Sea. Except for Yufeng, she has never seen her father, mother and sisters. She didn't know how they are doing now and whether everything is okay. Maybe she should go back to the East China Sea to visit them when she has time.

"Princess." A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Xiaoqing came back to her senses from her thoughts and looked up to see Ziying standing in front of her.

"Ziying, is there something wrong?"

"The princess seems to be worried." Ziying sat down next to Xiaoqing. She turned her head and stared at Xiaoqing with concern in her eyes: "Princess, if you have something bothering you, please tell me. Even if Ziying can't help, at least she can be a listener."

"Ziying, thank you for your kindness, but some things are of no use even if you tell them to others." Xiaoqing stood up, slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and felt refreshed.

"Princess, no matter what happens, we five dragon envoys will be by your side to support you." Ziying also stood up. She looked intently at the master who had followed her for many years. A hint of sadness could be easily seen between her brows. Ziying knew that the Third Princess Long who did not know what sadness was was gone forever. The current Third Princess Long is slowly becoming mature. Perhaps this is not a bad thing.

"I know, I know you will always be by my side." Xiao Qing suddenly laughed, and her mood instantly improved. Yes, no matter what, the Five Dragon Envoys will be by her side to support her, and she is not fighting alone.

"Ziying, is there any news about Yufeng?"

"Oh, by the way, I came to see the princess about the matter of the Fourth Prince." If Xiaoqing hadn't mentioned it, Ziyu would have almost forgotten why she came. "Reporting to the princess, the Fourth Prince sent someone to bring you news. The last time the Fourth Prince left without saying goodbye, he left in a hurry because the Jade Emperor had issued an edict to grant him a marriage."

"Issued an imperial decree to grant marriage?" This news surprised Xiaoqing. Since when did the old man Jade Emperor start to do the business of matchmaker? But who would the old man grant marriage to Yufeng

"Ziying, do you know who the Jade Emperor has arranged for Yufeng to marry?"

"It's the Peony Fairy."

"Mu Yanran, the Peony Fairy?" Xiao Qing widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it is indeed the Peony Fairy. This matter has spread throughout the fairy world. Princess, do you think there is anything wrong with it?" Ziying looked at Xiaoqing in a strange way, not understanding why Xiaoqing reacted so strongly. She had the honor of meeting the Peony Fairy Mu Yanran once. Her appearance was one of the best in the fairy world, and she was a suitable match for the Fourth Prince.

Xiaoqing held her head with her hands in a headache. Mu Yanran and Yufeng? This is definitely not right! Mu Yanran is so cold, arrogant and indifferent, how can Yufeng stand her! This old man, the Jade Emperor, is really good at matching couples! No, Yufeng must find a way to postpone this marriage.

"Ziying, you must set off immediately to the East China Sea and try to inform Yufeng to find a way to cancel the marriage."

"ah?"

"What are you still standing there for? Go quickly!" Xiaoqing didn't have time to explain too much to Ziying. If they waited until Yufeng and Mu Yanran got married, it would be too late to stop the marriage.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Ziying took the order and left in a hurry.

Xiaoqing was secretly puzzled. With Mu Yanran's personality, she would not agree to this marriage. How could she accept the marriage granted by the Jade Emperor? No, she had to find Mu Yanran and ask her about this matter clearly. Xiaoqing made up her mind, turned around, and disappeared from the spot.
