Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved
Chapter 300 Second Update

Chapter 300: Chapter 300 Second Update

Ju Nanyi hurried over and heard the Eldest Madam Zong shrieking hysterically. As his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze immediately landed on the figure at the very edge, whose otherworldly presence rendered everything else into nothingness.

She was there? Why was she here? And it seemed that the words of Eldest Madam Zong had sparked a conflict.

In an instant, Ju Nanyi felt a bit hesitant. He had traveled through dust and wind, surely presenting a less than favorable appearance, and after staying in the mountains for so long, he even carried the wild scent of the forests.

However, Ju Nanyi did not leave, standing his ground firmly. While he did not wish to partake in this farce, he stubbornly hoped to witness a certain outcome.

Zheng Nianru glanced at Eldest Madam Zong, who was as intolerant of evil as in her previous life, evident even in the expressions of those around her.

Zheng Nianru felt somewhat amused, but ultimately looked at Zong Yunqian. Considering the current situation, their marriage engagement appeared necessary to continue.

"Mother, please calm down," Zong Yunqian intervened, pulling back his own mother, not expecting her to utter such words.

"Commandery Princess, this young man is indeed suspicious. If you trust me, I can prove what I say in a single move," Zong Yunqian spoke calmly.

Although the people of Ghoul Ravine could cast spells, they were fundamentally different from those of Qiandao Temple, hence in one move, he was confident in revealing the truth.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Nianru gave Zong Yunqian a look of uncertainty since she knew Yin He’s identity, which had come directly from Fu Gong and could not be wrong.

Zong Yunqian looked at Zheng Nianru with sincere eyes.

"Go on, give it a try," Zheng Nianru responded with an attitude of eagerly watching a spectacle and even reached out to pat Yin He’s arm.

"Don’t be afraid—let’s see what he can do." Yin He was initially displeased, but the words from Zheng Nianru made his discontent vanish without a trace, and the area she had touched felt tingly and delightfully soothing, like a remedy for all ailments.

The young man remained motionless, while Zong Yunqian immediately took action, dancing his hands in the air, and the invisible powder from his hands, along with the murmured spells, flew swiftly towards the young man.

Although the youth did not move, he suddenly had an idea. Just as the powder was about to reach him, he collapsed to the ground, as if struck down by Zong Yunqian—right before the eyes of all.

Zheng Nianru was taken aback, and Zong Yunqian even more so. His move should have exposed the youth, yet there was no change at all in his appearance.

Zheng Nianru also instantly discerned the meaning in Zong Yunqian’s eyes.

"Yin He—"

"Yin He—" Xing Yu was the first to rush over, shaking Yin He lying on the ground, then swiftly turning to Zong Yunqian.

"Heir Zong, what have you done? Yin He is just a servant beside our Commandery Princess, just like me, with only some strange techniques. Surely, aren’t all Qiandao Temple’s disciples the same?" Xing Yu’s eyes reddened as she spoke.

Hearing this, Zheng Nianru also crouched down.

"Yin He, wake up," Zheng Nianru called softly. Yin He really wanted to awaken, but to make the act convincing, he feigned unconsciousness as realistically as possible.

Eldest Madam Zong looked puzzledly at her son; she could clearly sense that he was very confident before he made his move. At this moment, Eldest Madam Zong stepped forward, grabbed her son’s shoulders, and signaled him not to panic.

"Commandery Princess, let me have a look..." Impossible, how could this be possible? These Spells are not supposed to harm anyone, even if the person is from the Ghoul Ravine, it shouldn’t cause any harm, let alone cause someone to suddenly fall to the ground and not get up.

"Don’t come any closer." Zheng Nianru looked up at Zong Yunqian. Although Yin He had been with her for only a short time, he had helped Zheng Nianru with quite a few things without asking for anything in return. Although Zheng Nianru was wary, she was also grateful.

"Xing Yu, take the person away—" Zheng Nianru said coldly, and Xing Yu nodded in agreement.

Wen Ling suddenly drew his sword, and the Imperial Forest Guard guards seeing this, immediately surrounded Zheng Nianru’s people.

"This person has harmed one of our Imperial Forest Guard, and we must take him back with us," Wen Ling said coldly, his gaze moving down from Zheng Nianru’s neck, the curve enough to evoke everyone’s sin.

"Heir Zong, Eldest Madam Zong, Commandery Princess." Ju Nanyi, during this chaotic moment, entered with steady steps, followed by members of the Fire Order Squad who looked at me, and I looked at you, but eventually followed Ju Nanyi out.

But their Fire Order Squad was tasked with the matter of Ghost Shadows and evil spirits, so what were they doing here?

Zong Yunqian tilted his head slightly, and a whiff of fragrant scent wafted into his nostrils.

"Commandery Princess, may this officer have a look at the injury?" Ju Nanyi stood before Zheng Nianru.

Zheng Nianru hesitated briefly, but recalling Ju Nanyi’s creation of the Fire Order Squad, his ability to confront Qiandao Temple, and the removal of their nest in one fell swoop, Zheng Nianru attributed this to Ju Nanyi’s damned talent. Almost all matters, once handled by him, could grow into a formidable power that terrified others in absolute silence and obscurity.

Zheng Nianru acquiesced, giving a glance to Xing Yu as a sign.

Xing Yu quietly lowered Yin He down. Yu Yuan glanced at Ju Nanyi, somewhat puzzled; they had no idea what was wrong with this young man, nor did they have more than a general guess about what Heir Zong had done, suspecting some sort of Spell.

Ju Nanyi crouched down and placed his hand near Yin He’s breath. The next moment, he confirmed his suspicion—the youth was just pretending. Everyone’s attention had been on Zong Yunqian’s actions, but Ju Nanyi watched this young man so he saw very clearly that the young man had fallen before Zong Yunqian even completed his move.

"How is it?" Xing Yu asked earnestly, and Zheng Nianru seriously looked towards Ju Nanyi. Actually, Zheng Nianru thought that Ju Nanyi had done nothing wrong; he was a top performer in his duties. It was just that his vision and perspective weren’t vast enough to stand at the peak of power, and all he cared about were his romantic entanglements, his pair of children.

Therefore, in her lifetime, should she become a ruler of a country, then employing Ju Nanyi as the Prime Minister would certainly be a fine choice.

"Commandery Princess need not worry; this Young Master seems to have fainted coincidentally, probably due to overexertion just now. If the Commandery Princess does not believe me, I can wake him up right now," Ju Nanyi spoke.

Yin He sneered inwardly, then felt Ju Nanyi’s hand reaching out again. He certainly did not want some stinking man to touch him. Yin He slowly opened his eyes and, with breath as faint as a thread yet precisely grasped Zheng Nianru’s sleeve.

"Yin He, have you woken up?" Xing Yu called out joyfully, and Zheng Nianru finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go—" Zheng Nianru had no more reason to stay and turned to leave. Zong Yunqian thought to speak, but found no reason to do so.

Once Zheng Nianru and her party reached the outside of the restaurant, Yin He suddenly looked toward two beggarly dressed individuals to the side, who clearly twitched in their stance. Was the Young Master signaling them to take action?

Following Yin He onto the horse carriage, Gui San and Gui Si glanced at each other; if they were to take action, then let it be, saying so they promptly dashed around to the back of the restaurant.
