Yunxi and Di Fei secured two Sea of Consciousness Shields, and their group of six forced the other cultivators to retreat from the Heavenly Jade Waterfall.

• Yunxi advised Di Fei to use Merit to obtain a Sea of Consciousness Shield when the Cloud Dragon Koi released its bubbles.
• Yunxi claimed a Sea of Consciousness Shield with the Moon Gate's Space-Time Power, and Di Fei, Buddha Wushen, Hua Wu, Cui Ying, and Yuxing Chi each obtained one as well.

Yunxi and Di Fei rejected Yuxing Chi’s attempt to form an alliance over the rumored divine artifact, then discussed why he and the other Immortal Lords were following them. Yunxi planned to find Yuwen He, while Di Fei spotted a valley holding a Langhuan Twin Flower along their route.

• Yuxing Chi revealed that he recognized Yunxi as Ran Xi and asked her to join his group investigating the rumored divine artifact.
• Di Fei challenged Yuxing Chi’s motives and argued that the divine artifact should belong to the Ghost Domain; Yunxi then left with Di Fei.
• Hua Wu, Cui Ying, Wushen, and Yuxing Chi agreed to cooperate temporarily and followed Yunxi and Di Fei.
• Yunxi and Di Fei reasoned that Yuxing Chi suspected the divine artifact was connected to the Evil Immortals and wanted Yunxi’s help; Yunxi accepted the group’s pursuit as potential backup.
• Yunxi used the Heaven and Earth Contract to set their course toward Yuwen He, and Di Fei found a Langhuan Twin Flower in a valley five days away.

Yunxi and Di Fei reached the valley where the Langhuan Twin Flower grew and found its entrance guarded by Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys demanding trades. Meanwhile, Yuwen He followed a divine artifact’s summons into a Withered Wood Forest and pulled the artifact from an altar.

• Yunxi reviewed the Langhuan Twin Flower’s ability to produce a clone that could serve as a spare body, and she and Di Fei decided to seek one while traveling toward Yuwen He.
• Yunxi and Di Fei reached the valley and found Immortal Practitioners waiting outside while Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys demanded suitable trade items for entry.
• Cui Ying, Hua Wu, and Yuxing Chi caught up with Yunxi and Di Fei, joined the line, and tried to learn what opportunity lay in the valley.
• Yuwen He followed a voice into the Withered Wood Forest, where a shadow inside him carried him to an altar piled with bones.
• Yuwen He pulled a rust-covered divine artifact from the altar and prepared to recognize it as his master.

Yunxi and Di Fei entered the Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys' valley by offering to refine medicine, where Elder Jin Lie asked for pills to prolong a monkey's life. After Yunxi's pills proved useless, a potion showed promise, but the messenger's return left Jin Lie alarmed.

• Yuwen He's black shadow merged with the blade in his Dantian, consuming his Nascent Soul as the blade regained its hilt and began fusing with his body.
• Yunxi sensed the Langhuan Secret Realm was about to become dangerous, and her Seven-Star Deadly Staff briefly stirred.
• Yunxi offered to refine pills for the Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys, and Di Fei joined her so they could enter the valley together.
• Yunxi and Di Fei met Elder Jin Lie, who asked them for medicine to prolong a monkey's life.
• Jin Lie found Yunxi's Longevity Pills and other medicines useless, but a potion seemed effective, so he sent a little monkey to deliver it deeper into the valley.
• The little monkey returned and gestured urgently to Jin Lie, who stood up with a darkened expression.

Yunxi and Di Fei met the Monkey King Nan Ming after their potions awakened his mate, Lin Han. Lin Han begged Yunxi to save her child from Evil Qi lodged in the fetus, while Nan Ming explained how the corruption had entered them and left Lin Han close to death.

• Jin Lie explained that the potions had worked and that Nan Ming wanted to meet Yunxi and Di Fei.
• Jin Lie led Yunxi and Di Fei to Nan Ming, who asked them to agree to Lin Han’s reasonable requests.
• Yunxi saw that Lin Han was gravely ill and carrying a child, then noticed the Evil Qi in her belly.
• Lin Han asked Yunxi to save her child, while Nan Ming urged her to focus on recovering.
• Nan Ming explained that Evil Qi had entered their wounds during a dangerous expedition, and Lin Han had trapped it inside the fetus by burning her life force.

Yunxi proposed a dangerous plan to save both Lin Han and her unborn child, though the child had only a fifty percent chance of surviving and might never cultivate. Lin Han agreed to proceed, and Nan Ming accepted the plan despite objecting to freezing her in ice.

• Nan Ming insisted on saving Lin Han, while Lin Han insisted on saving the child, leaving Yunxi and Di Fei caught between their conflicting demands.
• Yunxi said she could try to save both and examined Lin Han, but a force repelled her attempt to inspect the fetus.
• Yunxi told Nan Ming she could preserve Lin Han's life, though Lin Han's cultivation would likely fall, and gave the child a fifty percent chance of survival with a risk of never cultivating.
• Lin Han agreed to Yunxi's plan even if its chance of success were only ten percent.
• Yunxi explained that she would use Twin Flower to refine a Clone for Lin Han and a new body to carry the fetus's soul, since an evil artifact fragment had entered the fetus.
• Yunxi said Lin Han had to be frozen in ice before the work began; Nan Ming objected, but then agreed.

Yunxi sought a way to save Lin Han’s poisoned unborn child and asked Star Trek to create a growing clone that could receive the fetus’s soul. Nan Ming came to discuss freezing Lin Han, and Yunxi insisted it had to happen now.

• Yunxi and Di Fei discussed the risks of transferring the fetus’s soul into a specially refined body, including the child’s future growth and cultivation.
• Yunxi contacted Star Trek, who agreed to use blood from Nan Ming, Lin Han, and the fetus to try to create a growing clone.
• Jin Lie brought Yunxi Twin Flowers of different ages and asked whether the child would be able to cultivate, but Yunxi could not guarantee it.
• Nan Ming asked whether Lin Han could avoid being frozen, and Yunxi said freezing was necessary to preserve her condition and keep the Evil Artifact Fragment still.
• Nan Ming asked when Lin Han should be frozen, and Yunxi answered that it should happen now.

Yunxi and Di Fei tried to save Lin Han and her unborn child after the fragment began merging with the fetus, and Yunxi froze Lin Han and collected blood samples to prepare a clone. Yunxi began refining Lin Han’s Clone while Di Fei guarded her, leaving the child’s fate dependent on the work ahead.

• Nan Ming agreed to let Yunxi and Di Fei examine Lin Han, but they found Evil Qi leaking from his residence and the fragment merging with the unborn child.
• Yunxi froze Lin Han with the Void Heaven Ice Flame, then collected blood from Lin Han, the fetus, and Nan Ming.
• Di Fei confronted Nan Ming over his threatening behavior, and Yunxi left with her to begin refining Lin Han’s Clone.
• Yunxi sent the blood samples to “Star Trek” and discussed with Di Fei the possibility that Nan Ming wanted to abandon the child and preserve Lin Han alone.
• Yunxi took out the oldest purple Langhuan Twin Flower and began refining Lin Han’s Clone as Di Fei stood guard.

Yunxi completed Lin Han’s clone and arranged for Star Trek to cultivate a compatible clone for the unborn child using Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkey inner cores. She brought the finished clone and the infant in its culture tank to Nan Ming, who agreed to begin the next step.

• Yunxi finished refining Lin Han’s clone, and Di Fei paid her for an agreement to make one for her as well.
• Yunxi learned that Star Trek’s attempts to cultivate the child had failed because the culture fluid lacked suitable energy, so she asked Di Fei to obtain three preserved inner cores from Nan Ming’s clan.
• Nan Ming provided the inner cores, and Yunxi sent one with Supreme Immortal Stones to Star Trek, warning him to follow her instructions.
• Yunxi and Di Fei arrived at Nan Ming’s Immortal Cave with Lin Han’s clone, and Yunxi confirmed that Nan Ming found no problems with it.
• Yunxi brought out the infant in its culture tank, and Nan Ming agreed to begin after examining it.

Yunxi and Di Fei tried to save Lin Han and her unborn child while trapping the Evil Artifact Fragment. Lin Han’s soul entered a prepared Clone, but the fragment corrupted the infant and began attacking the formation before Yunxi sent it into another space.

• Yunxi drew a divine-script formation and warned Nan Ming, Jin Lie, and Jin Ting to protect the ritual as Di Fei prepared to extract the souls.
• After Yunxi removed the ice seal, Di Fei extracted Lin Han’s divine soul, but could not extract the fetus’s soul; she sent Lin Han’s soul into the prepared Clone.
• The infant drained Lin Han’s remaining life and weakened her soul in the Clone, so Yunxi froze Lin Han and ordered Nan Ming to take her away in an ice coffin.
• The corrupted infant broke free of Lin Han’s body and attacked Yunxi and Di Fei’s formation, using the Evil Artifact Fragment’s power to weaken it.
• Yunxi recognized the fragment’s strategy, then sent the fragment and infant into another space.

Yunxi trapped the corrupted infant and the Evil Artifact Fragment in her domain, while Di Fei sealed the Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkey valley and urged the clan to contain its infected members. The infant’s destruction exposed a Black Diamond that began fighting Yan Meng, while corrupted monkeys attacked their clanmates outside.

• Di Fei expanded the Hong Energy Shield over the valley and told Jin Lie and Jin Ting to investigate clansmen infected with Evil Qi.
• Nan Ming returned but could not pass through the shield, while Yunxi summoned a storm of lightning that destroyed the corrupted infant and revealed a Black Diamond.
• The Black Diamond tried to enter Yunxi’s sea of consciousness, but Yan Meng confronted it as Yunxi lent her Immortal Yuan Force.
• Evil Qi-infected Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys began attacking their companions, and Di Fei told Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Yu Chixing, and Wushen to help restrain them.
• Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Yu Chixing, and Wushen split into pairs and moved to restrain the corrupted monkeys.

Yunxi sealed Black Diamond while Di Fei and the Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys contained the Evil Qi outbreak and prepared to purify their corrupted clansmen. The crisis was temporarily under control, but Yunxi left worried that something had happened to Yuwen He.

• Di Fei made Jin Lie and Jin Ting gather the corrupted monkeys inside the protective barrier, while Buddha Wushen offered to help save those who remained conscious.
• Nan Ming returned to the valley, ordered the clan to follow Di Fei's restrictions, and asked that the corrupted infants be kept secret from Lin Han.
• Yunxi and Yan Meng held Black Diamond at bay until Yunxi sealed it in a Spirit Sealing Box and stored it separately.
• Yunxi joined Di Fei and confirmed that Black Diamond was temporarily sealed, then Buddha Wushen and the willing Immortal Practitioners began setting up a purification array.
• Yunxi asked whether Ghost Emperor Mei Huan had sent her into the secret realm for a reason, but Di Fei said she did not know.
• Yunxi told Di Fei that they needed to find Yuwen He quickly because she feared something had happened to him.

Yunxi and Wushen purified the Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys, but Jin Yun’s Evil Qi could not be removed without killing her, so Nan Ming remained alone with her. Nan Ming then revealed he knew Yunxi was Ranxi and asked about Lin Han’s child, learning that the child was his and would grow up.

• Wushen activated the purification formation, which cleared the Evil Qi from many of the Three-Eyed Golden Silk Monkeys but left the high-ranking monkeys trapped inside.
• Yunxi sent Ziyan into the formation to burn away the remaining Evil Qi, and Jin Yun’s Evil Qi concentrated in her third eye as she struggled under the flames.
• Yunxi stopped Ziyan to keep Jin Yun from dying, and Nan Ming asked her to take everyone else away before he dealt with Jin Yun alone.
• After the Hong Energy Shield trembled and Jin Yun disappeared, Nan Ming arranged the promised rewards and asked Yunxi to speak with him privately.
• Nan Ming revealed that Bai Mei had exposed Yunxi’s identity as Ranxi, then asked about Lin Han’s child; Yunxi confirmed the child was his and would grow up, but said she did not know whether he could cultivate.

After leaving Nan Ming, Yunxi and Di Fei hurried toward the suspected location of the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade, believing Yuwen He had been drawn there by an evil artifact fragment. They recruited Yuxing Chi, Cui Ying, Hua Wu, and Wushen to help trap him, and Yunxi began setting up a formation in the hills.

• Nan Ming gave Yunxi a purple crystal Storage Bracelet as thanks, and Yunxi and Di Fei left his valley with Yuxing Chi and the others.
• Yunxi used the Heaven and Earth Contract to track Yuwen He and suspected the black shadow inside him was an evil artifact fragment drawing him toward the rumored divine artifact.
• Yunxi and Di Fei decided to prepare a trap for Yuwen He, reasoning that the incomplete artifact would force him to seek them out.
• Yunxi and Di Fei asked Yuxing Chi, Cui Ying, Hua Wu, and Wushen to help capture Yuwen He, promising to assist them in obtaining the divine artifact without competing for it.
• The group traveled to a hilly region near Yuwen He's location, where Yunxi placed eighty-one formation disks to prepare the trap.

Yunxi lured Yuwen He into the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation, but discovered that the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade had consumed his consciousness and taken his form. She and Di Fei discussed how to suppress the artifact before it endangered everyone in the Langhuan Secret Realm, while Yunxi searched for a way to get help.

• Yunxi completed and concealed the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation, then released the Evil Artifact Fragment's aura to draw Yuwen He in.
• After three days, Yuwen He arrived badly wounded and unconscious, and Yunxi and Di Fei brought him into the Dharma House.
• Yunxi and Di Fei pretended to care for Yuwen He while the others concluded that an Evil Immortal had attacked him and that he had entered their trap.
• Alone together, Yunxi told Di Fei that the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade had devoured Yuwen He's consciousness and merged with him.
• Yunxi and Di Fei considered using the formation to suppress the blade, but realized they might need outside help to stop it from escaping the Langhuan Secret Realm.

Yunxi sought Ethereal Immortal’s help to destroy the Artifact Spirit of the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade and received an Immortal Sword empowered with a Thunder Slash. When she left the Space Chat Group, Yuwen He ambushed her and reclaimed an Evil Artifact Fragment.

• Yunxi sent Star Trek a crimson Langhuan Twin Flower and asked Ethereal Immortal for help against the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade.
• Ethereal Immortal asked Yunxi to send her a forged Immortal Artifact, then sealed a Thunder Slash into the sword and returned it.
• Yunxi placed the empowered sword where she could retrieve it quickly and sent Ethereal Immortal a purple Langhuan Twin Flower.
• Yuwen He attacked Yunxi as she withdrew from the Space Chat Group, and Di Fei and the others moved to defend her and activate the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation.
• Yuwen He demanded his things, and after the Evil Artifact Fragment flew from Yunxi’s shattered Storage Ring, he seized it before Di Fei could retrieve it.

Yunxi trapped Yuwen He beneath the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation while keeping the Black Diamond that could complete the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade. As she and her allies struggled to contain the blade’s frenzied attacks, approaching Immortal Practitioners gathered nearby, and one recognized that Yuwen He was a blade rather than a person.

• Yunxi seized Di Fei and escaped the Dharma House, then activated its outer formation and the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation to trap Yuwen He.
• Yunxi told Di Fei she had kept the Black Diamond in reserve so the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade could not become complete.
• Yuwen He repeatedly struck the same spot on the formation, so Yunxi and the others shifted its Formation Wheels while Yunxi repaired them with Divine Script talismans.
• Di Fei warned approaching Immortal Practitioners to stay away, but one man argued that they should help capture the Evil Immortal.
• An Immortal Practitioner cried out that Yuwen He was not a person but a blade.

Yunxi and the others tried to wear down the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade while Di Fei warned away potential challengers. When the formation began to fail, Yunxi detonated it, and the weakened blade turned on her as she drew her sword.

• Yuwen He’s body collapsed and revealed the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade in its true form.
• Yunxi and her allies agreed to use the formation to weaken the blade and prevent other Immortal Practitioners from taking it.
• The Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade repeatedly attacked the formation as Immortal Practitioners gathered, hoping to seize it.
• Di Fei revealed herself and invoked Ghost Emperor Mei Huan’s authority, prompting many Ghost Immortals and other Immortal Practitioners to leave.
• After a formation disk shattered, Yunxi and the others detonated the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation and escaped as the blast spread through the Secret Realm.
• The weakened Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade charged at Yunxi, who drew a purple-haloed longsword.

Yunxi and her companions continued their attempt to destroy the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade while fending off Immortal Practitioners who wanted to seize it. After Yunxi exposed an Evil Immortal and defeated him before he could activate a sacrificial grand formation, the others kept attacking the trapped artifact.

• Yunxi struck the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade with Thunder Slash, breaking her imitation Thunder Radiance sword and further damaging the artifact.
• Di Fei drove off an Immortal Practitioner trying to seize the blade, and Yunxi regrouped with Yuxing Chi, Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Wushen, and Di Fei around it.
• Yunxi revealed her identity as Immortal Lord Ran Xi and accused a man of being an Evil Immortal, causing many of the onlookers to retreat.
• The Evil Immortal ordered his hidden helpers to attack, while Yunxi used the Thousand Shadows Technique to fight them and the other five continued assaulting the blade.
• Yunxi pierced the Evil Immortal's Dantian with the Seven-Star Deadly Staff, but he detonated his divine soul before she could read his memories.
• Yuxing Chi, Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Wushen, and Di Fei continued attacking the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade, whose damage became increasingly exposed.

Yunxi fought the recovering Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade as the Langhuan Secret Realm collapsed, then fell into a spatial rift when Dugu Ye self-destructed. Outside the realm, Ghost Emperor Mei Huan appeared and took the blade while Yunxi remained missing.

• Dugu Ye warned that something was draining the life force of every living being in the Secret Realm, and Yunxi saw the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade recovering as it absorbed that power.
• Yunxi unleashed the Seven-Star Deadly Staff against the blade, using an Explosive Immortal Pill and the Immortal Spirit Grass’s power to reach the Immortal King realm and hold it back.
• The Langhuan Secret Realm collapsed, and its Entry Tokens transported away the Immortal Practitioners until only Yunxi and her seven companions remained.
• Dugu Ye appeared behind Yunxi and self-destructed; Di Fei tried to pull Yunxi away with her Bone Whip, but the blade restrained Yunxi and she fell into a spatial rift as Di Fei was transported out.
• Di Fei threw the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade at Baili Yanque, but Ghost Emperor Mei Huan appeared, seized the blade, and received Baili Yanque’s greeting.

Meihuan Ghost Emperor sealed the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade and learned that Yunxi had fallen into a spatial rift, prompting Linyuan Immortal Emperor to order a search. Yunxi survived the fall but awoke reborn as a frail infant in an unfamiliar world, where a doctor warned she might not live past sixteen without the Imperial Preceptor’s help.

• Meihuan Ghost Emperor killed dozens of Immortal Practitioners, ordered Baili Yanque to investigate the Evil Immortals’ infiltration, and rewarded Di Fei’s group.
• Di Fei told Meihuan that Dugu Ye had embraced Yunxi and self-destructed, and Meihuan explained that the unbroken Soul-Binding Thread showed Yunxi was alive but too far away to reach.
• Linyuan Immortal Emperor ordered You Jun to search for Yunxi after learning she had fallen into a spatial rift.
• Yunxi endured the Spatial Gale with her protective artifacts, followed a glimmer of light, and lost consciousness.
• Yunxi awoke as a newborn being delivered by a woman, then sealed most of her Soul Power after hearing that her mother was bleeding.
• Divine Doctor Ye stopped the infant Yunxi’s bleeding and warned that she might die young unless the Chancellor persuaded the Imperial Preceptor to help.

Yunxi’s divine soul entered the body of a stillborn infant in Yufeng Kingdom and was raised as the sickly youngest daughter of Prime Minister Wei. After she regained control of her body at age three, her attempt to summon her missing body nearly killed her, leaving Ling Jian and her parents terrified.

• After the Spatial Gale separated Yunxi’s divine soul from her body, she entered a newborn girl’s body and sealed most of her power to keep it alive.
• State Preceptor Ling Jian recognized Yunxi’s Golden Light of Merit, gave her a protective jade pendant, and warned Prime Minister Wei to raise her carefully.
• Ling Jian told the Emperor that Yunxi could not be betrothed into the imperial family and urged him not to interfere with her tribulation.
• At age three, Yunxi chose the name Wei Yunxi and began recovering while her divine soul remained injured and her original body remained missing.
• Yunxi tried to draw her original body toward her, nearly causing her mortal body to collapse, and the jade pendant shattered.
• After Yunxi slept for three days, Ling Jian warned her not to risk her life, while the Prime Minister’s Wife tearfully begged her not to leave.

After Yunxi settled into life in the Wei Family, Wei Anyu stole her protective jade pendant and fell into an unbreakable sleep. Yunxi let the household retrieve the pendant and predicted that Wei Anyu would wake the day after Concubine Lan returned it.

• Yunxi promised Prime Minister Wei and Ling Jian that she would stop rushing to cultivate her soul, then grew into a favored and remarkably quick-learning young miss.
• Wei Anyu secretly took Yunxi's protective jade pendant, wore it, and fell asleep without waking.
• The Prime Minister's Wife learned from Yunxi that Wei Anyu had borrowed the pendant and stayed by Yunxi while the household sought a cure.
• After Wei Anyu's servant revealed the theft, Prime Minister Wei ordered Concubine Lan to retrieve the pendant from her son's neck.
• Three days later, Concubine Lan returned the pendant to Ranxi Courtyard, and Yunxi told Haitang that Wei Anyu would wake the next day.

Yunxi strengthened her physical body while her true body remained hidden in Flame Mountain, and the years passed as she lived quietly in the Prime Minister's Residence. As she prepared for her coming-of-age ceremony, her new sister-in-law Su Wanying grew close to her.

• After Wei Anyu recovered, the Prime Minister warned the household not to covet Yunxi's belongings, and the family treated Yunxi with greater care.
• Yunxi studied medicine with Divine Doctor Ye, then spent three years using her own decoction to strengthen her body, though she still could not summon it.
• Yunxi's physical body remained asleep beneath Flame Mountain's magma, protected by the Void Heaven Ice Flame, while Yan Yan helped create a new Exotic Flame that concealed their presence.
• State Preceptor Ling Jian praised Yunxi's prescription, gave her pills, and left the Yufeng Kingdom; Qianyuan replaced him as State Preceptor.
• Five years later, Yunxi prepared for her coming-of-age ceremony, and her sister-in-law Su Wanying began visiting her often and admiring her many skills.

Su Wanying told her mother about Wei Yunxi, while the chapter revealed how Yunxi once saved her eldest brother Wei Ansheng with an Immortal Pill. Yunxi’s family kept the incident secret, but rumors spread, and noble families began waiting for her Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

• Su Wanying told the Madam of the Ministry of Rites that Wei Yunxi was extraordinary, and her mother planned to attend Yunxi’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony to judge for herself.
• The Madam of the Ministry of Rites reasoned that Yunxi was probably not a cultivator and warned Su Wanying not to dwell on her aunt, who had withdrawn from the mortal world to cultivate.
• Wei Ansheng uncovered a powerful illicit salt trade, survived repeated assassination attempts on his way back to the capital, and was brought home gravely wounded.
• At the Prime Minister’s wife’s plea, twelve-year-old Yunxi left Ranxi Courtyard and used a tiny amount of an Immortal Pill to save Wei Ansheng.
• Yunxi collapsed from the strain and slept for five days; Wei Ansheng recovered, earned the Emperor’s commendation, and was promoted.
• The Prime Minister ordered everyone to keep Yunxi’s deed secret, but rumors spread, and noble families awaited her Coming-of-Age Ceremony, hoping to see her or marry her into their families.
