With the help of He Chuan''s pills, Lia''s breakthrough went unusually smoothly, as if everything was natural.


    Lia felt the surging true energy in her body and wished she could immediately raise her head to the sky and roar. Only then could she express the joy in her heart.


    "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Sister Cai Lian, for your help!" She quickly thanked He Chuan.


    "You''re still far from that. There''s nothing to be proud of about being a half-step saint cultivator. You can''t ck off on your cultivation, or your realm will end here." He Chuan poured cold water on her out of habit.


    Whether it was Empress Changning or Cai Lian, he would always pour cold water on them when they broke through.


    "Aiya, Master, can''t you let me be happy for a while?" Lia pouted her little mouth. The joy of her breakthrough instantly vanished.


    This was a realm that many people dreamed of, but it was worthless in front of He Chuan. It was not even worth being happy about.


    "You''ll have plenty of time to be happy on the day you''re killed." He Chuan continued reading. When he had broken through, he had always considered the dangers of the outside world.


    Thus, he had never been happy about it.


    Recently, most of the items he had checked in with the system were no longer in use. The system prompted him to go to a more special ce to get good items.


    This made him even more cautious. This meant that there were many unknown ces in this world.


    "Young Master is doing this for Sister Lia''s own good. It''s not toote to be happy for a while after you break through to the saint cultivator. " Cai Lian agreed with He Chuan''s point of view.


    "Saint cultivator? That sounds so far away!" Lia felt it was too much of a blow to be with them.


    Breaking through to the saint cultivator realm was only something worth being happy about for a short while.


    ...


    "Lana failed?"


    Tetumtan sat on the throne and looked at the scout in front of him, asking coldly.


    "Yes, the Emperor of the Great Zhou has already passed the throne to the new Empress. The situation in the Great Zhou has stabilized, and it is not suitable for the Xiongnu to attack now. " The scout said respectfully.


    "The Empress? It seems that the mysterious man who intervened is very bold. He actually allowed the Zhou Dynasty to have an Empress." Tetumtan said in disbelief.


    In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there had never been a Female Emperor.


    What a world-shaking event this was.


    After the changes, it was announced that the Xiongnu invasion n had temporarily failed, so they could only n for the long term.


    "Help me send a letter to the Lord. Tell him there''s a change in ns and the honey trap won''t work anymore." Tetumtan was also somewhat helpless. The gods and demons were behind the Xiongnu invasion n.


    He Chuan withdrew his divine sense.


    ording to the current situation, the First Prince, the Eldest Princess, and Tetumtan did not belong to the same forces.


    From this, it could be seen that there was apetitive rtionship between gods and demons.


    Or rather, the mysterious treasures of the Central ins were things that even gods and devils wanted for themselves.


    What was it that caused the gods and demons to fight against each other and support their own delegates?


    "No matter what it is, it can''t fall into the hands of the outer realms." He waved his hand at the sky, and a white Gyrfalconnded.


    This was Lia''s gift to Cai Lian, and Cai Lian really liked this pure white jade-wed Gyrfalcon.


    Gyrfalcons had thick and long beaks, and the upper part of their tarsus was covered with feathers. Both genders are the same color, and their beaks and ws are like iron hooks flying fast and high. They could catch wild swans, wild ducks, rabbits, and jackals.


    Every spring, the khans of the Xiongnu Tribe would release gyrfalcons to capture swans near the river. When they caught the first swan, they would throw a feast to celebrate. It was called the "First Swan Feast."


    When catching the Gyrfalcon, they first used three stones to form a frame on the hillside facing the sun, symbolizing the golden tower and divine hall on the ninth heaven of the eagle god realm.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    There was a mountain rock inside, representing the divine mountain where the Eagle God lived.


    Finally, they nted grass as incense and used wine as a sacrifice. Then, they set up a to catch the Eagle.


    The was three meters long and one meter wide. A pigeon or a dead chicken was tied to the as bait. The eagle hunter hid in the "shack" camouged with branches and waited for the Eagle toe.


    Sometimes, eagle catchers had to squat for dozens of days. They were called "crouching eagles."


    The Eagle circled down from the sky, caught the bait, and was caught.


    After capturing the Gyrfalcon, they would immediately send it to the tribe''s royal family to enjoy.


    "Little White! Why are you running around!" Cai Lian looked at the Gyrfalcon on He Chuan''s shoulder and said with some dissatisfaction.


    He Chuan''s face was filled with ck lines. The name of the most precious Jade-w Gyrfalcon was also unique.


    "I was the one who summoned it down to help deliver a letter." He Chuan touched Little White''s head.


    This fellow had been fed well since it was young. Other gyrfalcons ate meat at most, but it grew up eating the pills rewarded by the system. Therefore, not only was itrger than the average Gyrfalcon, but it was also more intelligent.


    When it saw Cai Lianing over, it called out twice to please her.


    "It was Young Master who asked it to deliver the letter." Cai Lian thought that she had encountered something.


    "There might be some changes in the Xiongnu people. I''ll inform Changning and ask her to find the so-called treasure." He Chuan tied the letter he had prepared in advance to Little White''s feet and fed it two pills.


    Little White pped its wings and flew up, quickly disappearing from their sight.


    "What kind of treasure is it that is worth all these people''s efforts?" Cai Lian looked up at the sky with some reluctance. Usually, when she was bored, she would talk to Little White.


    "I don''t know what it is, but it must be very important to the Central ins. Otherwise, why would these gods and devils spend so much effort to find it?" He Chuan shook his head.Noww that news of Lana''s death had reached the. Hee wondered what new actions they would take.


    He definitely wouldn''t let this matter rest.


    "Lian''er still feels that it''s best to stay by Young Master''s side. You don''t have to worry about the troubles of the world and can be free all day." Cai Lian reminisced about her life in the library.


    Although it was boring back then, it was very fulfilling.


    There was no need to scheme against each other.


    When she first came out, she wasdelightedy. She felt that being able to y and taste all kinds of delicious food was the life she wanted.


    Unfortunately, as time passed, she wanted to return to her previous life.


    "You''ve be so sentimental at such a young age. Aren''t you living a carefree life now? You can even eat delicious food every day." He Chuan rubbed Cai Lian''s head and said with a smile.


    "I''m not young anymore. Lian''er has been with you for five years and three months." Cai Lian counted the days with her fingers.


    Cultivation knew no time.


    Only then did He Chuan react. Cai Lian was already twenty years old and was no longer the little pce maid she had been.


    "Lian''er, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, feel free to do it." He didn''t know if the other party had any wishes and had never asked before.


    "Does Young Master want to chase Lian''er away? I just want to stay by Young Master''s side." Cai Lian immediately became aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes.


    "Cough! I''m just afraid that you''ll miss your family or have any wishes you want to fulfill. You cane back to me after you''ve fulfilled them." He Chuan quickly exined.


    He didn''t want to see a woman crying.


    "Young Master is Lian''er''s family," Hearing He Chuan''s exnation, Cai Lian smiled again. Since her family sold her to the pce, she had already given up.


    Cai Lian was indeed kind, but she was definitely not stupid.
