"Hmm?" Huangfu Lingxuan observed the fake Shangguan Qingyue seriously. He realized that she had no signs of life. "What did you do to her, Kid?"
Tang Xiao smiled. "She’s not the real Shangguan Qingyue, Old Man. I don’t know if Shangguan Qingyin and the people from the Shangguan Clan will notice, but they won’t be able to find the real one."
"How can you do that?"
"That’s my secret, and only my family knows about it," Huangfu Lingxuan grumbled in his heart because Tang Xiao was too secretive with her. "The real Shangguan Qingyue is still alive, and I imprisoned her in my private place."
Huangfu Lingxuan released a soft sigh. "As long as you don’t kill that little girl, Shangguan Qingyin and the Shangguan Clan will not cause any trouble. They might not notice her changes for now, but they will definitely notice her changes someday, so the fake her must act carefully."
"The fake and the real are no different, so her attitude will be no different from the real one." Tang Xiao gave something to the fake Shangguan Qingyue and gave her instructions, which shocked Huangfu Lingxuan. "Since Shangguan Qingyin has bad intentions, I should teach her a lesson, right? However, I won’t do anything excessive to her, so you can rest assured."
Huangfu Lingxuan looked at him seriously before nodding. "As long as your actions do not conflict with Emperor Xuanyuan’s plans, he will turn a blind eye and not interfere in your affairs. Besides, I will help you monitor the situation, so you don’t need to worry. By the way, what did you do to Shangguan Guyuan?"
"I altered his memories a little, and he’s completely loyal to me now." Tang Xiao suddenly remembered something. "Old man, I will return to the sect in a few days, and I hope you can arrange a meeting for me with Fu Meiyu."
Huangfu Lingxuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to act against Shen Liang?"
"Yes." Tang Xiao nodded. "Shen Liang sent his two subordinates to assassinate me and kidnap Mu Qingge, so I’ll take action against him after I return. Since Fu Meiyu doesn’t like Shen Tianyu and the Shen Clan, I want to cooperate with her. I won’t act openly against the Shen Clan, and I will use other means to deter them."
Huangfu Lingxuan looked at Tang Xiao with mixed feelings; he felt that the young man before him was far more inscrutable and terrifying than he had initially anticipated. "I’m going to see Fu Meiyu this morning, and you can go to the Fu Clan once you return to the sect."
"Thank you, Old Man. Can you go back by yourself? I will return to my group, and we will leave for the next mission location this morning."
"Haha," Huangfu Lingxuan laughed as he flew into the sky. "You don’t need to care about this old man, and you can go back there now."
After Huangfu Lingxuan left, Tang Xiao entered the void and left the area.
Shangguan Qingyue woke Shangguan Guyuan up, and the two continued their journey back to the Song Kingdom.

Shangguan Qingyue was completely shocked when Xiao Ai took her away in the flying car. She was even more shocked when she saw all the areas they passed. She was certain that no cultivator in the Canglan Realm had all the equipment inside the ark, which made her feel like she was in another realm.
Shangguan Qingyue looked at Xiao Ai. "What exactly is this place? Who exactly are you?"
"I am my master’s creation." Shangguan Qingyue was shocked to hear that, but she didn’t understand what Xiao Ai meant by that, and the female Ai didn’t explain it to her in detail. "This place is my master’s private place, and it is cut off from the outside world. No one can enter this place, except for my master, his wives, and their families."
Shangguan Qingyue took a deep breath. "How was Tang Xiao able to find Huo Mianmian and remove the effects of my elixir in her body?"
"Even though you’ve hidden her in a special place, it’s not difficult for me to find her location, and I only need to monitor your movements." Shangguan Qingyue’s expression turned ugly, and she finally realized how Tang Xiao had managed to find Huo Mianmian. "You have previously met the fake you, so you should know that it’s a trivial matter for me to remove the effects of the elixir in her body."
Shangguan Qingyue was still in shock over the imposter. Moreover, everything about the imposter was the same as her—from her face and appearance to her cultivation.
Soon, they arrived at the prison area, and Xiao Ai took Shangguan Qingyue to one of the rooms.
When they arrived, Xiao Ai helped Shangguan Qingyue change into a maid dress, which really embarrassed her. The maid dress was too short and sexy; her breasts were slightly visible, and her lower body was also perfectly exposed.
After everything was finished, Xiao Ai chained one of Shangguan Qingyue’s legs, leaving her completely helpless. "You are my master’s prisoner now, so you must not think about bad things if you don’t want to suffer. He is busy now, and he will come to see you after his business outside is finished."
After Xiao Ai left, Shangguan Qingyue let out a heavy sigh and sat up on the bed. She rubbed the bed, and she was amazed by its softness. Such a bed didn’t exist in the Canglan Realm, making her realize that Tang Xiao wasn’t a resident of her realm.
Shangguan Qingyue looked around the room, and she had never seen such a room in the Canglan Realm. Although Tang Xiao had previously said it was a prison, she could tell that the room was more luxurious than her room in the Shangguan Clan.
Shangguan Qingyue lifted her legs onto the bed, hugged them, and rested her chin on her knees. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she regretted it in her heart. If she had no malicious intentions towards his wife, Tang Xiao would not have captured her and imprisoned her. What made her regret it the most was the fake her, and she would replace her in the Shangguan Clan.
Shangguan Qingyue didn’t know if Shangguan Qingyin would realize that the woman was a fake. If her aunt didn’t realize the situation, she would never be able to escape from Tang Xiao. Even if her aunt knew everything, she wasn’t confident she could save her since the ark was cut off from the outside world.
Shangguan Qingyue sighed to herself several times, thinking about Tang Xiao’s plans for her. She didn’t know what he had planned for her, but she knew that her fate would not be good.

In the forest, Ning Zhiya had stopped crying, but she continued staring blankly at her son’s corpse. With her son’s death, her status in the Sun Clan would soon change, and her husband’s second wife would take over her position, which would be detrimental to her Ning Clan.
Ning Zhiya had worked hard all her life to achieve her current status in the Sun Clan. She did everything for the future of her Ning Clan, but her efforts would be wasted with her son’s death.
Tang Xiao’s clone sat beside Ning Zhiya and embraced her. "I know you are sad about your son’s death, but there is nothing we can do now. Even if you want to take revenge on Ci Xing, you will only die in vain at her hands because she is much stronger than you."
"What should I do?" Ning Zhiya buried her face into his chest. "He was my only son, but he is dead now. When I return to the Sun Clan, I will lose my position, and my Ning Clan will suffer again."
"Is your position that important?" Ning Zhiya didn’t answer Tang Xiao. "You’ve been married to your husband for so long, and you’ve helped your clan a lot by leveraging your relationship, so your clan should be more prosperous than in the past, right?"
Ning Zhiya nodded slightly. "Even though my Ning Clan is a second-grade clan, my clan members are more prosperous now. However, their prosperity will fade once I lose my status in the Sun Clan, and their conditions will gradually decline."
"Haish." Tang Xiao exhaled softly. "If that happens, you can only blame your clan members, Zhiya. You gave them a chance to turn their lives around, but they didn’t make good use of it. If only they had seized that opportunity properly, they wouldn’t be affected by the current situation."
Ning Xiya knew his words were true, but she felt responsible for her Ning Clan. She didn’t want her clan members to suffer again as they had in the past, but her current situation left her helpless. As soon as her husband’s second wife finds out that her son is dead, she will immediately move to replace him. Moreover, his second wife had the support of the Zhan Clan, and her clan was prominent.
Tang Xiao didn’t really care about Ning Zhiya’s fate, but he was relieved that Sun Weitian was dead, and he wouldn’t bother Mu Qingge anymore.
*Tap... Tap...*
Tang Xiao turned to the people who had just arrived. Ning Zhiya also turned to them; she hurriedly freed herself from her embrace and stood up. "Father-in-law."
Sun Yuheng didn’t answer Ning Zhiya and looked at Tang Xiao, but his gaze suddenly shifted to Sun Weitian’s corpse, wrapped in spiderwebs. His body trembled when he saw his grandson’s corpse. "Weitian! What... what happened to him, Zhiya? How... how did he become like this?"
