Chapter 980: Chapter 861 Seems to Be Different_2

Xiaosuisui touched her little head and giggled as she explained.

"It’s just that my grandfather isn’t originally from our Profound Celestial Continent. He’s from the Skyling Continent. Later, when he saved you, he discovered the anomaly in the Nine-layered Tower, so he went to investigate it. By accident, he traveled back through the Nine-layered Tower."

Princess Lianchun was utterly astonished.

"You... how do you know all this?"

Dear heavens, how old is this little toddler she’s holding? A few years?

How does she know so much?

Xiaosuisui touched her head, instinctively wanting to say that naturally, it was her grandfather who told her.

However, Ji Youyuan had already reached over and gently lifted her out of Princess Lianchun’s arms.

"After our father left, we brothers searched for him for a long time. Later, by chance, we learned some news about him, only to find that he was actually still alive. It’s just that the place where he resides is not easily accessible to us."

Ji Youyuan’s explanation was something Princess Lianchun could understand with just a slight consideration.

"In that case, it’s indeed a great piece of news.

By the way, how is Zhan... Zhanzhan doing?"

This Zhanzhan, Xiaosuisui didn’t know who it was?

She blinked her big eyes, looking questioningly at Ji Youyuan.

"Who is Zhanzhan?"

Ji Youyuan patted her little head and gently told her.

"Zhanzhan is your Majesty’s godfather!"

"Ah!" The little girl opened her mouth wide and giggled, "So the godfather of his Majesty is named Zhanzhan!"

The little girl touched her little head and giggled.

She laughed in a silly, slightly foolish way, with an adorable charm!

"Your Majesty’s godfather?"

Princess Lianchun heard this term, blinked, and looked Xiaosuisui up and down.

"You’re actually Zhanzhan’s goddaughter! No wonder I like you so much; when I see you, I think you look so adorable!"

"Hehe! Princess Lianchun, if you’re the sister of my Majesty’s godfather, should I call you Aunt or Aunty?"

Princess Lianchun blinked, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You, little girl, are quite a clever one, knowing the difference between Aunt and Aunty. You can call me Aunt! Come on, give Aunt a call!"

Xiaosuisui straightforwardly called out, "Princess Lianchun Aunt!"

Princess Lianchun: "..."

"Just Aunt, don’t add the name before calling!" Seeing Princess Lianchun’s awkward expression, Ji Youyuan tapped Xiaosuisui’s little head.

Xiaosuisui touched the spot that Ji Youyuan had knocked, giggling, "Aunt!" and immediately corrected herself!

Princess Lianchun cheerfully responded, feeling her pockets, finding nothing.

In the end, she scratched her head, slightly embarrassed.

"I don’t have anything on me right now, I’ll give you a meeting gift next time there’s an opportunity."

Upon hearing Princess Lianchun mention a meeting gift, Xiaosuisui rummaged through her little pouch, pulling out a pile of gold and silver treasures — including the Phoenix Head Hairpin given by the Empress Dowager when she first met her.

"It’s customary to give a meeting gift upon first meeting; Aunt, take what you want!"

Princess Lianchun: "..."

Ji Youyuan: "..."

He sighed, touched her little head, and both said in unison.

"Meeting gifts are what elders give to younger ones; you don’t need to give anything."

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui, without saying a word, quickly put all the treasures back into her little pouch.

She did it so fast that Ji Youyuan didn’t even get a clear view.

"..."

"Uncle, can we go back now?"

After quickly packing everything, Xiaosuisui asked Ji Youyuan.

Ji Youyuan nodded, then turned to Princess Lianchun and said.

"Princess Lianchun, you’ve been away from the Great Han for many years; would you like to go back with us?"

Princess Lianchun didn’t even think before replying to Ji Youyuan’s question.

"I have indeed wanted to return to the Great Han after being away for so many years. However, there’s something very important I must do before going back!"

As Princess Lianchun spoke, she turned and walked off.

Xiaosuisui scratched her head in confusion, "What does Aunt want to do?"

Ji Youyuan, holding her, quickly followed, "I guess she wants to deal with Prince Yu!"

Princess Lianchun’s voice carried from in front of them.

"That’s correct. Apart from me, Prince Yu also came here. My divine consciousness has returned, and I won’t be controlled again.

But Prince Yu is different. He willingly works for Xun Heng, seeking immortality and control over the entire world. So, if we want peace in the future, we must take care of Prince Yu!"

"Oh!"

Under Princess Lianchun’s lead, they made their way to Xijing City of Xiling.

At the city gates of Xijing City, there were soldiers checking the identities of people entering the city.

Ji Youyuan and Xiaosuisui weren’t worried about this.

Because they had Princess Lianchun’s Imperial Palace Token from Xiling, they didn’t have to take any detours. They could enter and exit each city gate openly!

This time was no different.

Once through the city gate, Princess Lianchun led them straight to Prince Yu’s Mansion. Standing before the main gate of Prince Yu’s Mansion, they could visibly see the looming Death Qi hovering above the mansion.

"How many lives does Prince Yu have on his conscience?

The Death Qi above this Prince’s Mansion is incredibly dense."

Ji Youyuan was shocked by what he saw.

Princess Lianchun’s gaze was cold as she silently walked up the steps of the main gate of Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Xiaosuisui and Ji Youyuan followed her directly.

The servants of the Prince’s Mansion saw them, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary; nobody greeted them, nor did anyone inquire about Ji Youyuan and Xiaosuisui’s identity!

It was as if having strangers coming and going in this mansion was entirely normal.

"Uncle! Don’t you think the people here are strange?"
