“Why don’t you go back with me first? I will help you after solving my issues.”

Now, Ronghua could only calm down the Evil King of Ghosts first. She was afraid that if he persisted in being unreasonable, there would be a fight, and both of them would be hurt. Moreover, Rongnuan was still here. He could not afford more torment since he had gotten severely injured.

“Why should I trust you? If you lie to me, what should I do? Didn’t you do that before?”

She slightly pinched her hands but did not change the expression on her face. She still kept a faint smile. The Evil King of Ghosts turned to be angry while looking at her appearance. Was she scheming about something again?

Ronghua said, “Do you think I’ll explain my reasons to you?”

“Shouldn’t you?”

Ronghua’s golden pupils had turned black. She was staring at him, “Well, now, you have two choices. First, continue to stop me here and not let me go, asking me to give you an explanation. Second, go with me. When I finish my things, I will help you deal with the problems you want to solve.”

The Evil King of Ghosts asked, “What’s the cost?”

Everything had its cost. There was no such thing as a free meal in the world, wasn’t it?

Ronghua hugged Rongnuan a bit more tightly and said with a smile, “The cost won’t be high. I guess if you have enough time, you should be able to afford the price.”

He took a deep breath silently, lowered his head, and thought for a while, “How can I trust you?”

Ronghua said noncommittally, “Muling, you’ve lost the right to refuse since the moment you came to me.”

The Evil King of Ghosts said, “... So?”

Ronghua said, “So go with us now! After all, you know that I’m fickle.”

Ronghua carried Rongnuan and did not care about what the Evil King of Ghosts would do. Anyway, she could not waste more time here. The Evil King of Ghosts had been thinking for a while and then made up his mind to catch up with them.

After returning to the imperial clan of Zither, they found that all the scenery seemed cool.

Somehow, the original green meadows seemed to be covered by ice now.

Even the house was the same. The changes took them by surprise. The imperial clan of Zither, which had almost been like a fairyland, became more worthy of its name now.

It now looked like the place where the immortal lived, giving them a strong sense of mystery everywhere.

Ronghua found Murong Zhe and Xia Pumo were not here, and even Xia Puyang did not show up, “Rongnuan, use the spiritual weapon that I gave to you before.”

Rongnuan tried to think about the spiritual weapon and finally took it out in the expectation of Ronghua. He put it near in his ear and heard a group of people quarreling in someplace in the imperial clan of Zither.

“Young Master, we forgave you again, and you just treat us like this?”

The voice sounded that it belonged to the elder who had stopped them when they came here for the first time. What was he doing now?

“Third Uncle, I... I didn’t expect it to be like this. Let’s talk about the reason after Ronghua comes back. It won’t be late.”

The elder snorted, “Huh, do you think there will be any use of her coming back?”

Xia Pumo felt helpless, “Third Uncle.”

“Don’t call me Third Uncle. I’m not your uncle now. You see, an unknown woman has robbed the imperial clan of Zither of a-hundred-year history, and it looks no longer the imperial clan of Zither now.”

It seemed that Xia Pumo’s third uncle was almost dead for anger and even wasn’t as talkative as before.

Ah, what a group of ignorant humans! She changed the imperial clan of Zither, so what? She had never said that she wanted it. She had solved such a big problem for them, but they showed no gratitude to her. On the contrary, they even blamed her for taking it over. How ridiculous it was!

When the Evil King of Ghosts caught up, he was shocked by the scenery inside. How could it be different from before?

Without looking at him, Ronghua directly took Rongnuan to the guest room for a rest.

Rongnuan was lying in bed. After seeing that he got asleep, Ronghua was relieved to leave. She set up a formation here before leaving, protecting Rongnuan in his sleep.

The Evil King of Ghosts had been looking at Ronghua’s movements coldly and scornfully, “He is just a fragile human. Why do you value him so much?”

Ronghua did not raise her head, “Gong Miufeng is just a patriarch of the Medicine Palace who once saved your life, and why do you keep pursuing her relentlessly?”

The Evil King of Ghosts put down his crossed arms and stared at her with a dark look, “You’d better think twice before speaking.”

Ronghua looked at him, “For someone, I believe he can understand my words even if I don’t think twice.”

Ronghua supposed that Muling would be angry and then fight with her. However, he was unusually calm. With a pair of amber-like eyes, he gazed down at the ring on his hand. Ronghua looked at it and found that it was just a simple storage ring.

After a moment of silence, Ronghua changed the topic abruptly, “Let’s go. I haven’t finished yet. I’ll help you solve your problems after I finish my things.”

Muling caught up with Ronghua as soon as she left. Now he would stay right beside her.

According to the direction of the voice that she had heard before, Ronghua approached the newly-rebuilt main hall. She stood in front of the main hall’s door, and the noise of quarrel inside was so loud that she could hear it clearly. It seemed that Xia Pumo was too soft that he was unable to suppress the group of people. Ronghua did not know what Xia Puyang was doing. He wasn’t here even when such a big issue had happened in the imperial clan of Zither, and the crowd seemed about to turn over heaven.

Ronghua stood in front of the door. The Evil King of Ghosts crossed his arms and stood behind her. He found that Ronghua was just standing there and did not knock at the door for a long time. She was listening to the voices of the quarrel to try to get what they were arguing about.

Suddenly, he saw a golden circle show up in Ronghua’s hand, and the pattern in it should be used only in some formation.

Ronghua put the circle of the pattern on her hand onto the door, and then something magical happened. The door suddenly seemed to be changed and curved like a kaleidoscope and began to rush over to Ronghua, and then so did all the housing construction here. The Evil King of Ghosts watched them distort, and they then stopped, and all the things were back to the original state. In the blink of an eye, it was just like those things hadn’t ever happened just now.

“Let’s go!”

Ronghua called back his mind. She pushed the door and entered. The people who were arguing in the room became very annoyed when they noticed someone coming in.

“I said that anybody shouldn’t come in before we end.”

The Third Elder should have been dizzied by anger, so he directly shouted out before recognizing who the one was.

Ronghua entered the room and closed the door casually. The Third Elder became even angrier when seeing the person was Ronghua.

“You, the woman of unknown origin, even dare to be in our main hall!”

The Third Elder shouted while pointing at Ronghua’s nose, caring nothing about why she came in.

Other people, who did not know Ronghua, doubtfully looked at each other, “Who... who is she?”

The Third Elder clenched his teeth and said, “She is the woman who suddenly appeared in the imperial clan of Zither that day.”

Now all the people understood that she should be related to the change of the imperial clan of Zither.

Xia Puyang, having been making excuses for not showing up, must also know what would happen here. He even didn’t worry about it and just left all the things to Xia Pumo alone to solve. “Is he sure that I would come back?” Ronghua wondered.

How well he had figured!

Xia Pumo was worried and hurriedly came over, “Ronghua, you are here. We are talking about the change of the imperial clan of Zither. Please forgive my Third Uncle’s rudeness.”

Ronghua had been keeping expressionless even while listening to Xia Pumo. Suddenly, she pushed him away, “Ask me if you have any questions! Let me see if I can help you solve your problems.”

“Presumptuous!” hearing her words, the Third Elder stood out first to object, “Who do you think you are? How come you dare to care about the business of our imperial clan of Zither?”

Ronghua narrowed her eyes, “Your imperial clan of Zither? I think you have some misunderstandings about it.”

“Misunderstanding? What is the misunderstanding?!”

Other people also came out to explain and make up for the Third Elder’s words, “No, Third Brother is just a bit excited. We want to know what happened during this period.”

Ronghua did not answer but directly sat down on the seat for the patriarch of the imperial clan of Zither. Seeing that she was so presumptuous, the Third Elder burst into anger on the spot, “You are so rude! Who allowed you to sit on it?! That’s the seat of the patriarch. Come down! Don’t you hear me?”

“Third Brother, calm down.”

But he could hardly bear it.

Ronghua ignored him and just looked around to appreciate the scenery from this angle. She sighed and said, “This seat is so good. No wonder so many people want to sit here to control the right and power. Do you think so?”

The Third Elder gathered power in his hands and hit towards Ronghua with one palm. However, she did not dodge or counterattack and just sat there.

“Third Brother, stop!” Although they shouted to stop him, his hit could not be taken back. They were afraid that Ronghua would die on the spot.

However, it was unexpected that she didn’t get injured. The Third Elder’s hand did not touch her. The power in his hand directly disappeared in front of her. He looked unbelievably at the scene and said, “How could it be like this? Why didn’t my attack work? What’s going on?”

Ronghua sat casually and looked at him with a smile, “Come on. Why do you stop?”

Ronghua stood up, pushed him away, and then walked down with a full smile, “Do you think that I would come here without any preparation?”

The Third Elder instantly understood something.

“Your overconfidence proves how stupid you are.”

“You!”

“Third Brother!”

Someone came over and stopped the Third Elder. He was afraid that he would stir up some trouble and annoy this woman, and then the gain would be not worth the loss.

“Well...” He suddenly stopped and found that he had no idea of her name.

“Ronghua.” Xia Pumo informed beside him.

“Oh, Miss Rong, I apologize to you for Third Elder’s attitude. He is not malicious. Since the imperial clan of Zither’s name and owner have been changed now, we just want to know the truth. So....”

Ronghua paused for a moment and turned around with a smile, “It seems that not all people in the imperial clan of Zither are as stiff-necked as him.”

Xia Pumo came over, “Ronghua, they just want to know the reason.”
