After taking the ginseng fruit, Zhao Huai had undergone two refinements throughout his body and reached the peak of the seventh level of the Initiation Stage.Pure spiritual qi continued to flow in, gradually filling his entire Qi Sea and the meridians throughout his body.

The more qi, the harder it was for Zhao Huai to keep up with the speed of qi flow, even with his continuous Circulation of Qi absorption.

From a distance, he was entirely enveloped in spiritual qi.

Zhao Huai felt as if his whole body would explode, like it was about to be burst open by the spiritual qi.

The terrifying spiritual qi brought by the thousand-year ginseng fruit was too much for him to handle at this time.

Zhao Huai closed his eyes and concentrated, sitting on the ground, guiding all the terrifying spiritual qi erupting from his body into the Qi Sea and sealing it up.

The fruit’s potency was so great that it couldn’t be fully absorbed, so he could only temporarily store it and slowly refine it in the future.

After stabilizing the terrifying spiritual qi in his Qi Sea, Zhao Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that Gu Tianji had reminded him earlier, otherwise, he would have died from his body exploding at this moment. As Zhao Huai sat up, a voice came from outside the house.

“Brother-in-law? When did you get back?”

At the pawnshop’s entrance, Pei Xiangyun, wearing a simple and elegant dress, entered the door and was surprised to see Zhao Huai. “After I finished my work, I naturally came back.” Zhao Huai smiled faintly, then couldn’t help but ask:

“Where is your sister?”

“Sister… Sister has something to deal with; she’ll be back soon.”

Upon thinking of her father and sister still negotiating, Pei Xiangyun couldn’t help but stutter a little.

She had been excluded from the talk about her sister’s affairs and their future plans.

They even said she had a loose tongue and a child like her shouldn’t be listening to these matters.

So, Pei Xiangyun came back angrily.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhao Huai as soon as she returned.

Hearing her younger sister-in-law’s reply, Zhao Huai’s joyous mood was somewhat diluted.

He had thought that upon returning home, he’d see his wife immediately.

But now he had to wait.

“Brother-in-law…”

Pei Xiangyun saw Zhao Huai frown slightly and called out worriedly. Afraid of what he’d do, she remembered his furious demeanor with a sword in hand during their previous trip to the capital city, which almost resulted in her father’s death.

That would have been terrible!

Pei Xiangyun hurriedly explained, “Sister is really fine. My father and some other relatives just came to visit her. They’re talking right now and will probably be back later. They told me to come back and take care of the shop first.”

Now, although her sister wasn’t wearing a yellow robe, she was almost royalty, guarded by her father and the Five Armies of Senior General, and was enthroned as the Emperor.

Her father had been lying low for years to provide a backup plan for their family.

A carefree prince like her father was safe, but if faced with danger, they would be utterly defenseless.

It would be easy for someone on the throne to target him; they could simply find an excuse to do so.

In such a precarious situation, Changning King Pei Ming had no choice but to secretly take matters into his own hands.

All for self-preservation.

He had recently sensed a crisis brewing within the Xia Country, prompting Pei Ming to take action sooner.

Regardless of who became the emperor, he would likely not meet a peaceful end since his identity posed a threat in their eyes.

He was of high status, wielded a certain prestige, and held royal power.

Considering Yu Yunping’s suspicions, it was only a matter of time before he took action against Pei Ming.

Instead of waiting for trouble to come their way, it was better to take action beforehand.

Of all those who wished to become the emperor, only one person would not see him as a great threat.

That person was his elder brother’s daughter, Princess of the Xia, Yu Qinghan.

Pei Ming had watched Yu Qinghan grow up and had been with her for more than ten years, so he knew what kind of person she was.

Yu Qinghan was naturally kind-hearted and very different from her elder brother. Moreover, their close relationship with each other made her the best candidate for the throne.

She was indeed capable of handling such a significant responsibility.

All of these discussions were for the sake of enabling the Pei family to live better lives.

Pei Xiangyun had always kept this in her heart.

Upon hearing Pei Xiangyun’s words, Zhao Huai casually asked, “Xiang Yun, does your sister have many relatives?”

His intuition was more sensitive than he had imagined.

Why would Pei Xiangyun’s father need to visit his wife if he was doing well?

Had something happened?

Facing her brother-in-law’s question, Pei Xiangyun hesitated for a moment and replied vaguely, “Not many, our family is relatively closer.”

Hearing this, Zhao Huai nodded.

“It’s about time; I’ll go cook!”

Fearing that Zhao Huai would continue to inquire further, Pei Xiangyun immediately headed to the kitchen.

“When did you learn to cook?”

Zhao Huai couldn’t help but laugh, finding the situation amusing.

“I learned when you weren’t home during these few days with my sister.” Pei Xiangyun replied, pouting her lips.

Watching his sister-in-law leave, Zhao Huai whispered to himself, “I hope my wife’s relatives are genuinely visiting, as it should be.”

“Now the Yan Country’s national fortune is recovering, and countless forces are secretly coveting it. I hope my wife won’t get involved.”

Zhao Huai was well aware of Yu Qinghan’s character. She was gentle, kind, and considerate, but deep down, she could be strong and dominant.

In short, she was easily swayed, but not easily intimidated.

If anyone caused her harm, they would certainly suffer the consequences.

However, if they used schemes to lure her, then things might not go well…

Suddenly.

“Ah, who are you!”

A scream came from inside the house..
