The venerable Lord of the North, the jiaoren, Changyi. Everyone knew his name, but no one called him that. People preferred to call him jiaoren. After all, he was the one and only world famous jiaoren in existence.

Aji opened her eyes and felt like laughing. In the prison, the snake demon had joked about her killing the jiaoren and becoming lord herself. Now it was clear how crazy and far fetched that would be.

Although she only used the power of three tails, this man only casually pinched out a chain from ice. Likely he did not use even ten percent of his power…

"Shoot..." Aji mumbled to herself, "Fell head first into a coffin..." Then she smiled at Changyi.

"Your Highness, my lord, I was just passing through. I didn't know you were napping here. So sorry for the disturbance..."

She now only hoped that he did not know her, so he could treat her as a passerby and let her go...

He had been sleeping here for a while, no one should have told him yet that four prisoners had escaped...

The jiaoren narrowed his eyes and sized her up. Then they heard the sound of wings flapping in the air. Aji lifted her head and saw a snow eagle slowly descending, then transforming into a man. He knelt down before the jiaoren and bowed, "Your Highness, reporting from the dungeon, Lu Jinyan, the snake demon, the disciple of the Grand Master's house and the fox demon injured several guards and escaped."

Aji opened her mouth, looked at the snow eagle demon, and sprouted a Lu Jinyan inside her heart. She cursed silently for a thousand times...

The jiaoren glanced at her, then looked to the side. Ji Ning seemed to have been tied to a tree at the very start of their fight. He was a little worse off as his mouth had also been wrapped by chains, keeping him from making any sound...

Oh... Aji suddenly understood. So when he called her earlier, it was not out of concern for her safety, but a cry for help…

And now, the jiaoren's gaze was sweeping over Ji Ning's body. Although he was tied up and his clothes were dirty, a closer look could still distinguish that it was the Grand Master's uniform.

The jiaoren's eyes landed back on Aji. His look announced both of their identities -- the fox demon and the disciple of the Grand Master's house.

There was a brief moment of silence in the chilly air. Aji pushed aside her feelings of embarrassment and stubbornly persisted, "I was really just passing through..."

She was indeed just passing through. The snow eagle demon who came to report the news finally looked at them and responded in surprise, "Huh…?"

Aji lowered her head and sighed. No need to "huh"... It was them...

"Take them back," the jiaoren coldly issued an order. The snow eagle demon immediately nodded, and at the end did not forget to kiss up a little, "Your Highness is mighty and wise."

Aji did not know what more she could do except to sigh and resign herself to her fate.
