Judging by that posture, it truly looked like it intended to strike someone to death.
Boom!
Liu Yiran, adorned in gaudy attire and accompanied by servants, was startled by the thunder, her body trembling slightly.
Looking up again, she saw Qiao Mu standing by the main entrance. Her eyes lit up, but she also cursed under her breath, "Bad luck."
"Greetings, Crown Princess." Liu Yiran had indeed learned her lesson.
She thought to herself that if she didn't bow to this deadpan-faced Crown Princess, the Princess Consort would later nag her about her lack of manners.
Hmph, isn't it just a bit of formality? Who can't act?
Liu Yiran, with her maid, squatted there for a minute or two, but heard no sound from Qiao Mu. She couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration, lifting her head slightly to look at her with an impatient expression.
She must be deliberately ignoring me!
However, she saw the Little Crown Princess gazing up at the sky, her attention focused on the tribulation clouds, as if she hadn't noticed Liu Yiran at all.
Liu Yiran couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, gnashing her teeth in anger.
"Greetings, Crown Princess!!" Liu Yiran let out a stifled breath, almost shouting.
As soon as she finished yelling, a cold voice came from behind her, "If Miss Liu doesn't know how to properly greet people, then continue squatting here and practice your bows for an hour. Learn it well."
Liu Yiran shivered all over. Turning her head, she saw the Crown Prince, dressed in formal court attire, his posture tall and elegant as jade, slowly stepping down from his carriage. His gaze swept coldly over her.
Liu Yiran's heart grew more and more anxious. She stammered quickly, "Gr-greetings, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This humble servant... I'm from the countryside, and my voice is... quite loud. I was not... not deliberately speaking so loudly."
After speaking, she wished she could slap herself senseless.
To cover up the matter, she actually slandered her own image in front of the Crown Prince. She was about to cry from her own stupidity.
Crown Prince Mo paid her no mind at all.
Whether Liu Yiran's image was ruined or not had nothing to do with him.
The Little Crown Princess had also snapped back to attention by now. She hopped and rushed towards him, pulling his sleeve, and said crisply, "Lian, look at the sky! Is someone undergoing the Five Spirit Reincarnation Tribulation? Are they advancing to the Divine Realm!"
Mo Lian nodded slightly with hesitation. "It looks a bit like it, but I can't be too sure."
"Then should we go take a look?" The little one had an expression of someone who loved watching a good show, her eyes twinkling.
Mo Lian couldn't help but chuckle. "If you want to go, then let's go."
Anyway, they were just going back to the Mu family now. It was still early, just past noon, so going to see what was happening was fine.
"Where is that, in the southeast direction?"
"Looking at that direction, it should be near Fanghua Temple in the southeastern suburbs of the city," Mo Lian said, taking her small hand. "Let's go."
The two got into the carriage, and the coachman drove the swift spiritual horse, heading directly towards Fanghua Temple.
From afar, even before reaching the place, they heard a cacophony of sounds.
Mo Lian had the coachman stop the carriage by the roadside. He led his wife out of the carriage and looked up at Fanghua Temple in the distance.
They saw a white figure, suspended in mid-air, with strands of lightning coiling around her, enveloping her entire body in a faint purplish-blue light.
It was a female cultivator undergoing the Five Spirit Reincarnation Tribulation.
Qiao Mu looked up at the slightly frail figure.
