Yunyao naturally understood what Baili Ningsu meant and guessed what her mother was worried about.
However, she still remained silent, lowered her head to drink tea, and did not answer the conversation.
Baili Ningsu frowned and said in a low tone: "In recent years, our Yun family has gradually declined, but the other two major families have become more prosperous and strong people have emerged in large numbers.
The three major aristocratic families have always been a tripartite force. Even if they compete secretly, they will not join forces with each other.
I don’t know when the two great families, Duanmu and Murong, quietly joined forces to deal with our Yun family.
In recent years, the two aristocratic families have become more and more arrogant and domineering, with frequent actions and various conspiracies emerging one after another.
If the Emperor hadn't secretly supported our Yun family, how could we have resisted the joint conspiracy of the two great families?"
When she said this, a cold light emerged from her eyes, and there was a trace of hatred in her tone.
"Those two aristocratic families actually teamed up and acted arrogantly to deal with our Yun family unscrupulously. There must be someone behind it to support and instigate them!"
Yunyao was very smart, so she understood Baili Ningsu's meaning immediately.
She frowned and said in a cold tone: "Looking at the entire Zhongzhou, how many people are there who have the qualifications and strength to rule the two great families?
The people who support the two great families in dealing with our Yun family are probably from the Imperial Court because they have a good status.
However, there are many royal heirs in the Imperial Court, and we don’t know who the person behind the scenes is?”
Baili Ningsu nodded and agreed: "Yes, mother has always suspected that the forces behind those two aristocratic families are mostly heirs of the Imperial Court.
However, this matter cannot be speculated without conclusive evidence."
After a moment of silence, she warned in a solemn tone: "Yao Yao, you have just entered the Emperor's Palace not long ago and have not yet established a firm foothold. The children of those two aristocratic families are already deeply entrenched in the Emperor's Palace.
When you are in the imperial palace, remember to act carefully and try not to conflict with people from the two major families.
Ji Tianxing will also be targeted by people from the two major families and will be secretly watched by many forces.
After Ji Tianxing enters the Emperor's Mansion, you should try not to have close contact with him, so as not to let people with ulterior motives seize the opportunity.
Soon, your father will end his retreat.
After your father comes out of confinement, we will discuss this matter and find a countermeasure."
Hearing this, Yun Yao suddenly frowned and asked Baili Ningsu: "Mother, didn't you say at the beginning that as long as Tian Xing can worship in the emperor's palace, you will no longer stop us?
Now that I am still a candidate for Tianxing, I can temporarily not have too much contact with Tianxing.
However, when the emperor's selection of concubines is over, I will be free.
I am willing to interact with Tianxing. That is my freedom. How can I allow others to criticize me?"
Baili Ningsu looked at Yunyao with a look of helplessness on her face, nodded and said: "Yes, mother did say this back then.
But, Yaoyao, you have to understand that the Imperial Palace is the top martial arts academy on the mainland.
It was a holy place for warriors to practice, not a place for romance.
If you are outside the emperor's palace, no matter how you two interact with each other, as long as you don't cross the thunder pond, my mother will not interfere or hinder you.
But in the emperor's palace, you must devote yourself to training, study martial arts assiduously, and work hard to improve your strength. This is the right path, so that your great talents will not be in vain.
In this world of martial arts where heroes and strong men stand together, only by possessing sufficient strength can one gain a foothold in the world and protect one's relatives and family.
Yaoyao, even if mother doesn’t say it, you should understand it.”
Yun Yao lowered her head, and after being silent for a while, she said calmly: "Yao Yao understands, mother, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Baili Ningsu knew Yunyao's temperament best. Seeing that she did not answer directly, he knew that her words were just perfunctory words.
But she had already said what she should say, and since Yunyao couldn't take it into her heart, there was nothing she could do.
"Why……"
Baili Ningsu sighed helplessly and stopped discussing the matter.
She asked Yunyao again, talked about some things in the emperor's palace, and gave Yunyao a few words.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Yunyao had finished drinking the spiritual tea in the cup, then bowed to Baili Ningsu and said goodbye, returning to the emperor's palace.
…
Ji Tianxing, Ji Ke and others left the city square and returned to Qingfengyuan.
After returning to Yuqingyuan, Ji Tianxing entered the secret room in the room and began to exercise and regulate his breath to restore his vitality.
Although he defeated Long Yunxiao and seriously injured Long Yunxiao, he himself was unharmed.
But in fact, Long Yunxiao's strength and methods are very powerful, far surpassing ordinary second-level Tianyuan realm experts.
If Gao Yu, the leader of the Tianjian Sect, had not died, he would never have been able to block Long Yunxiao's three moves and would have been killed on the spot.
In order to defeat Long Yunxiao, Ji Tianxing also tried his best and used all his trump cards and secret skills.
His true energy has been almost exhausted, and now he is in a state of lack of true energy and weak strength, and must take several days of recuperation before he can recover.
In the dimly lit secret room, the Spirit Gathering Formation was opened, quickly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions, and condensing it into strands of colorful dazzling light in the secret room.
Ji Tianxing sat cross-legged in the formation, silently running the magic formula of the Sword Heart, and his body was like a vortex, wildly devouring the spiritual energy around him.
Just last night, with the help of Qian Yue, he successfully broke through the shackles and reached the Tianyuan realm with the help of the Beast King's Spiritual Transformation Technique.
Now, he has officially entered the ranks of Tianyuan Realm powerhouses, and his strength and martial arts realm have also improved and changed dramatically.
In the future, he will not only have to practice the eighth level of the Way of the Sword Heart, but also gradually master the power of the five elements in order to quickly increase his strength.
There was silence in the secret room, and time passed quietly.
Before I knew it, three days flew by.
After three days and three nights of Ji Tian Xing Yun Kung practice, he finally recovered his true energy and his strength returned to its peak state.
Moreover, some minor injuries in his body were all restored as before thanks to the powerful self-healing ability of the Sword God's bloodline.
Early that morning, Ji Tianxing finished his practice and walked out of the secret room.
Not long after he returned to the room, the Beast King entered Yuqingyuan and came to the door of his room.
"Tian Xing, have you left seclusion?
I have received many invitations and greetings in the past two days, so I will send them to you."
The Beast King stood outside the door, smiled and shouted.
Ji Tianxing quickly opened the door, welcomed the Beast King into the house, and asked in confusion: "Senior, what invitations and greetings are there?
I have no relatives or friends in Zhongzhou City, who will give me these things?"
The Beast King suddenly smiled and explained: "After you defeated the Emperor, you became famous in one battle and became an unparalleled Emperor's Son.
Now that you are a man of the hour in Zhongzhou City, the powerful families and powerful organizations of all ethnic groups in the city will of course want to form a good relationship with you and get closer to you."
After that, he took out dozens of invitations and greetings from the space ring and placed them all on the table in front of Ji Tianxing.
