    Jiang Zhiyuan’s tears suddenly stopped, and she stared at Rong Xiu strangely in shock.?<i>Test? What test??</i>


    “Your Grace, are you still doubting Yuan Yuan’s identity?” Baili Chun also knitted his brows as if very displeased.?<i>I’ve already admitted it personally and said clearly that Jiang Zhiyuan is my biological granddaughter! Saying this in front of so many people has already humiliated me. If it weren’t true, why would I do this??</i>


    Rong Xiu smiled and said, “n Leader, don’t misunderstand. I’m just doing it by the book. After all, it concerns the Sky-Cloud Empire’s legitimate bloodline, so we naturally must be more careful. After all, we can only allow her to openly go back to her ancestors after we’ve confirmed her bloodline, right?”


    Jiang Zhiyuan not only had to face his questioning but also the entire Sky-Cloud Empire! Just a few sentences naturally couldn’t convince others.


    Baili Chun’s anger was reduced a little. After some thinking, he finally nodded. “Yuan Yuan is severely injured, and her body is very weak now. Be careful when you’re doing it.”


    Rong Xiu raised his brows slightly. “It’s just a bloodline test; it’s very simple. You don’t have to worry.”


    Baili Chun didn’t reply and gazed at Jiang Zhiyuan instead, patting her hands lightly. “Yuan Yuan, hold it in for a while. We’ll go backter.”


    In the past, he cared about his face and could only bury this incident at the bottom of his heart. But now, to protect Jiang Zhiyuan, he could only do this.


    Regardless of what others said, he didn’t care anymore.


    <i>I never expected myself to have such a huge secret! The eldest missy of the Sky-Cloud Empire… Even if I can’t be the princess consort, I won’t be bullied with this identity!?</i>Jiang Zhiyuan was touched. “Grandfather, you’re so good to me!”


    Baili Chun was satisfied when he heard this. He smiled and said, “You’re my only family member. If I’m not nice to you, who should I be nice to?”


    Chu Liuyue watched from the side, and the corners of her lips curled up.?<i>This grandfather-granddaughter duo acknowledged each other really fast, especially Jiang Zhiyuan, whose mental strength is really quite decent. She just watched her own father die; then, she passionately called Baili Chun her grandfather. It seems like she is really ecstatic to be able to smile so brightly, and this is before her father’s corpse has turned cold. It is also just a short distance away.?</i>


    <i>But after some thinking, it is understandable. It is a bright future again after a perilous situation. Anyone else would be happy as well, right?</i>


    “n Leader, please make way,” said Rong Xiu.


    Baili Chun then took a few steps back.


    Jiang Zhiyuan mustered her courage and looked at Rong Xiu. However, her gaze no longer had the previous fear and cowardice.?<i>So what if I’m not the Jiang family’s Big Missy?! From now onward, I’m the Sky-Cloud Empire’s eldest descendant!?</i>


    Jiang Zhiyuan was much more confident, and it seemed as though her bodily pain was also reduced. “Your Highness.”


    Rong Xiu closed his eyes and raised his hand.


    Golden rays of light shot out from his palm and gathered in mid-air. Then, a circr, grayish-white stone—about the size of a palm—appeared in front of him!


    A golden fire burned across and formed an intricate needle in the middle!


    Chu Liuyue watched on from the side and was rather surprised.?<i>Such a small stone looks extremely simr to the Extreme God Sundial I saw that day. There are 12 numbers on it and one needle. Perhaps this is an item to test the Sky-Cloud Empire’s bloodline??</i>


    As if detecting her gaze, Rong Xiu slowly opened his eyes, smiled, and nced at her. He patiently exined, “This is the Extreme God Sundial’s child sundial. It’s specially used to test the intensity of the Sky-Cloud Empire’s bloodline. The higher the number, the purer the bloodline.”


    The purer the bloodline, the higher one’s status in the n.


    Chu Liuyue nodded.


    It was indeed rted to the Extreme God Sundial, but thetter could test everyone’s bloodline power, while this one could only test the Sky-Cloud Empire’s.


    Rong Xiu pushed his palm forward, and the sundial slowly flew forward, stopping before Jiang Zhiyuan.


    “You just have to ce your hand on it.”


    This item didn’t require one to circte their force. As long as one ced some blood on it, they could rapidly get the results.


    Jiang Zhiyuan’s hand was covered with blood, and she could just ce it on top, which saved quite a bit of trouble.


    Jiang Zhiyuan stared at that child sundial and was nervous and excited. She had seen this child sundial before, but she never expected herself to have such a day!


    She held her breath in and carefully ced her hand on it.


    <i>Whir!</i>


    The moment it touched, the child sundial let out a whir!


    Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart seemed to be tightly clutched, and she stared at it without blinking.


    The Sky-Cloud Empire’s disciples normally had a result of ‘six’ or ‘seven.’ The slightly more outstanding ones could be an ‘eight.’


    If one could hit ‘nine,’ they would have extraordinary status and treatment in the n!


    <i>I wonder how high she can be tested…?</i>Baili Chun was also watching.?<i>Even though the woman I was with back then was average, my bloodline power is high. Hence, she shouldn’t be greatly affected. Besides, from Jiang Zhiyuan’s previously outstanding talent, she should at least be an ‘eight.’?</i>


    Yet…


    Time slowly trickled past, but the golden needle on the child sundial didn’t have any movement.


    Jiang Zhiyuan was confused. She looked at Baili Chun and felt uneasy.


    Baili Chun said, “Yuan Yuan, try with your other hand.”


    Jiang Zhiyuan followed, but this time, the needle on the sundial still stopped at its initial location.


    <i>How did this happen??</i>Baili Chun was about to walk forward. “This thing is spoiled—”


    Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her teeth and decisively ced both her hands on it.?<i>I don’t believe that I can’t move this sundial!?</i>


    <i>Thump!</i>


    The moment Jiang Zhiyuan stretched her hands over, the sundial suddenly moved back!


    That golden needle broke with the sound! A ray of light then shed across, and the sundial returned to Rong Xiu!


    Rong Xiu looked at the side and said in a seemingly smiling manner, “The sundial’s needle automatically broke, which means that it has touched an external n’s bloodline. n Leader, Jiang Zhiyuan… doesn’t seem to have our Sky-Cloud Empire’s bloodline! I’m afraid… you got it wrong, right?”


    Who knew whose illegitimate child Jiang Zhiyuan was!?


    Baili Chun’s expression changed drastically!
