Anli: Cannot Push the Crown Prince Towards the Mo Family

The news that Meng Anli had been knocked unconscious by the Meng family spread through the Heavenly Realm like wildfire.

Inside the Crown Prince's manor.

The Crown Prince, adorned in brocade robes and jade belt, shimmered with golden light. The strings of pearls on his head lent him a gentle aura.

He had clearly dressed with great care.

Upon learning that Meng Anli had gone to Niuyang Mountain, he had thought that even if she was playing hard to get, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

She would inevitably come looking for him tonight.

So he waited.

Instead of Meng Anli, he received this news.

Enraged, he slammed his fist on the table. "Has the Meng family gone mad?"

Liuyin stood by with her head bowed.

The Crown Prince abruptly stood up. "If it weren't for that idiot Meng Xiuchen, Meng Anli would be at the Crown Prince's manor right now."

He paced the room. "What should I do now? Am I supposed to go find her myself?"

Suddenly, his steps halted. He pointed at Liuyin. "You go. Represent me. Take spiritual elixirs and immortal medicine, and make a grand show of it."

Liuyin nodded in agreement.

The Crown Prince sat down, gritting his teeth. "The Meng family."

They had actually put him in a passive position.

Truly detestable!

Meng Anli was brought to the academy's medical hall.

The disciples of Gui Class still surrounded her, unwilling to leave.

The Medicine Immortal sighed in helplessness. "Everyone, move back. We need to bandage her wounds."

Guang Ling coughed lightly. "All of you, leave."

They retreated, but didn't go far, waiting at the entrance.

Guang Ling lamented, "You don't know, when I was holding Meng Anli, all her bones were cracking. I was so afraid she'd fall apart."

"The Meng family are truly scumbags."

Guang Ling clenched his fist, the size of a sandbag. "Meng Xiuchen, from now on, every time I see him, I'll beat him. He doesn't deserve to be called a brother."

Mo Ziqian sighed.

He had thought his situation and his mother's were difficult in the Mo family, but the Mo family had never resorted to open violence.

"What kind of family does this?"

Guang Ling felt a surge of admiration for Meng Anli.

"To be injured like that, it's truly hard to imagine how she held on until we arrived."

Mo Ziqian guessed, "Perhaps it's these qualities that made Teacher Yang treat her so well?"

Inside the room.

Meng Anli slowly regained consciousness and saw the gentle female Medicine Immortal.

She anxiously asked, "Where's A'Yao?"

"I'm here," Lu Yao's voice sounded from by her feet. "I'm bandaging the wound on your leg."

Meng Anli tried to lift her head.

The female Medicine Immortal pressed down on her shoulder. "Don't move."

Meng Anli asked, "Is A'Yao injured?"

Lu Yao's tears immediately welled up.

Anli was like this, and she was still worried about her.

She wiped her tears briskly, cleared her throat, and said, "No, I'm perfectly fine. Next time, I'll never leave you behind again."

Meng Anli smiled. "You went to get reinforcements, you didn't leave me behind."

"You're like this, so don't try to comfort me."

Lu Yao finished bandaging her wound and stood up to look at her, her eyes filled with almost overflowing concern.

The Medicine Immortal produced a pill. "Take this. It's for pain relief and to stop bleeding."

After taking the pill and knowing Lu Yao was alright, Meng Anli relaxed and fell asleep again.

When she regained consciousness again, she heard Lu Yao's angry scolding.

"Get out! If the Crown Prince truly cared about Anli, why didn't he come himself?"

Liuyin's voice was alluring and enchanting. "The Crown Prince is busy with state affairs, he doesn't have the time~"

"If you don't have time, don't come. We don't lack this little bit from him."

"A'Yao," Meng Anli got up and realized Lu Yao was in the dorm.

Lu Yao, who had been blocking the doorway, closed the door and hurried to help her.

"Did I wake you? I'm so sorry, I was just so indignant. Liuyin came again, with twelve immortal maidens, each holding a tray, covered with the Crown Prince's Mansion's brocade covers, and wearing the Crown Prince's Mansion's waist tokens. They were afraid everyone wouldn't know they were from the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Meng Anli knew the Crown Prince wanted to put on a show of deep affection again.

She said, "Let Liuyin and them come in."

Lu Yao comforted her, calling out, "Anli~"

"Go ahead," Meng Anli whispered, persuading her, "We can't just push the Crown Prince onto the Meng family."

Lu Yao's big eyes rolled a few times, and she understood the key point.

But she still felt stifled.

She huffily went to open the door.

Liuyin entered and first scanned Meng Anli.

Her palm-sized face was pale, her lips devoid of color, and her eyes were bloodshot with pain, filled with redness.

Even in this state, she couldn't hide her stunning beauty.

It only added a sickly fragility that made one want to protect her.

She raised her hand, and twelve palace maids entered with lotus-like steps, placing the items in their hands on the table in the center, then floated out.

Liuyin said, neither humble nor overbearing, "Miss Anli, these are the Crown Prince's gifts, all beneficial for your injuries."

Lu Yao rolled her eyes.

Meng Anli coughed lightly, clutching her ribs with a pained expression.

Lu Yao quickly patted her back, "Are you alright? Can't you see guests? I'll send her away."

Meng Anli smiled helplessly, her water-like eyes looking at Liuyin, "How is my Crown Prince brother?"

Liuyin was slightly stunned.

Then her expression turned somewhat disdainful.

Lu Yao exclaimed disapprovingly, "Anli~"

Liuyin provocatively said, "With me looking after him, the Crown Prince is perfectly fine."

"That's good," Meng Anli covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Thanks to you. Today, I originally intended to go see my Crown Prince brother after returning from Niuyang Mountain, but..."

Her voice trailed off, her expression filled with sorrow, and two tears immediately fell.

Liuyin said indifferently, "Third Young Master Meng was truly excessive. Go see the Crown Prince after you've recovered."

"Mm, I'll go see my Crown Prince brother when I'm better and when I have my next day off."

"Alright," Liuyin knew her attitude and didn't want to stay any longer, "I'll go back and report. You should rest well."

"No need to see me out."

Lu Yao followed closely behind her. Once Liuyin walked out, she unhesitatingly closed the door.

She ran back to Meng Anli's side, "Are you really going to find the Crown Prince?"

Meng Anli leaned against the headboard, "After today's events, I don't think I'll have any days off for the next six months."

Lu Yao was delighted, "Yes, yes! You need to improve your strength as soon as possible. I'll go see what they sent this time!"

"Mm."

Lu Yao had already lifted the covers to look, "The quality of the items is higher than last time, and the spiritual herbs are also older. It's just not thoughtful enough; none of them are suitable for you right now."

Meng Anli said nonchalantly, "See if there's anything suitable for you to refine pills with, you can take it."

"Okay," Lu Yao readily took two stalks, "These two are perfect for refining pills to remove the fire poison. I'll go refine them."

She left a communication mirror by her side, "Mother gave it to you. Call me if anything happens."

Meng Anli stroked the communication mirror and nodded happily, "Okay."

Now that her cultivation had leaped past the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul, she desperately wanted to cultivate and test her strength.

However, the moment she moved her spiritual energy, the fire poison suppressed by the Medicine Immortal took the opportunity to act up.

So, she decided to rest first and wait for A'Yao to bring the pills to counteract the fire poison before cultivating.

In a daze, she smelled a faint floral and woody scent.

She opened her eyes and saw her master's ethereal and handsome face.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, it was shrouded in a hazy glow, looking as beautiful as a dream.

She instantly sobered up and exclaimed happily, "Master! I've broken through to Nascent Soul! Can you teach me the transformation technique?"

Yun Jing looked at her bright, shining eyes.

He thought she would complain first, but he didn't expect her to want the transformation technique.

Yun Jing guided her, "You're so badly injured?"

Meng Anli said shamefully, "It's because I'm too weak. It's not worth mentioning."

"Weak? Weak enough to defeat a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

Meng Anli smiled sheepishly, "I relied on the heavenly lightning."
