Therefore, although the faces of these small country rulers were still not very good-looking, they didn't dare to say anything more, and could only watch the Cold Cloud Sparrow fly away silently.

Until the figure of this Magic Card spirit disappeared and left their national boundary, they could be considered to have let out a sigh of relief.

After all, compared to the three great empires, the gap between the two was truly too large.

Not to mention an empire like the Demon Domain that has always remained hidden, if the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See really wanted to make a move, these small countries wouldn't be able to escape even one.

Either be wiped out, or be incorporated, there is no third choice. The gap between the two is of a fault-line type.

Of course, under normal circumstances, as long as these small countries didn't do anything out of line, the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See wouldn't make a move against these small countries.

Having these small countries act as a buffer zone between the two great empires, in a certain sense, is also necessary.

Right now, these small country rulers could only hope that Yan Qian and Lan Xiatong were indeed just passing through in the true sense.

Although it was a trip by a Domain Lord, Yan Qian was not the type of person who liked to make a big show, even if their target this time was the Holy See.

After all, they were not visiting the Holy See on behalf of the Ancient Kingdom this time, but were heading there for private matters; there was no need to waste so much manpower and material resources.

A more important point was that for this trip to the Holy See, only Yan Yuexin and Lu Li being present was the most important thing; it didn't matter how many others came.

Even if things went wrong, the more people who came with the team, the more troublesome it would be later.

Therefore, besides Yan Yuexin and Lu Li, the protagonists of the inheritance trial, and Yan Qian and Lan Xiatong who were originally scheduled to lead the team, among the remaining accompanying personnel, there were only Yan Yuexin's parents, Yan Tianlu and Yan Qinyun.

Among Yan Yuexin's parents, Yan Qinyun, as the mother, was once the former Saintess of the Flame Spirit Sect, one of the six major religions of the Holy See, and was also a former participant in the inheritance trial.

Not to mention the Southern Region, even in the entire Ancient Kingdom, no one dared to say that they were more familiar with the Holy See and the inheritance trial than Yan Qinyun.

Having Yan Qinyun accompany the team could to a certain extent avoid many unnecessary troubles. Even, treating this as a trip back to her maiden home wouldn't be wrong at all.

As for Yan Tianlu, he had also participated in the inheritance trial, and participated as a Knight; he also had his own insights regarding some key points that needed attention in the inheritance trial.

A group of six people constituted the team heading to the Holy See this time.

Although there were only six people, excluding Lu Li and Yan Yuexin, the protagonists participating in the inheritance trial, Yan Tianlu and Yan Qinyun, the couple whose strength was slightly worse, both possessed the strength of high-level Sovereigns; as for Lan Xiatong and Yan Qian, they were even more so in the Immortal Realm and Undying Realm.

Such a combination could be said to have full mobility, and the overall strength wouldn't be bad either.

One wouldn't dare to say they could walk sideways on the Magic Card Continent, but it was enough to leave safely in most places.

Even if the Holy See really made a move and wanted to keep them at that time, they would need to pay a lot of price; even unless a Supreme personally made a move, otherwise Yan Qian's group had a not-low probability of running away.

And after this, the Holy See would still have to face retaliation from the Ancient Kingdom; such a deal, even the Pope would have to think twice.

It must be said that the Cold Cloud Sparrow is absolutely the model worker of the Magic Card world's spirits; as long as Magic Card Masters travel far, they basically choose to use the Cold Cloud Sparrow as a means of transportation; the main thing is that it is cheap and easy to use, low consumption and high cost-performance.

Look, even a Domain Lord like Yan Qian chooses to travel by Cold Cloud Sparrow.

As for why they didn't choose a faster teleportation method, stop joking; even if the Holy See was willing, the Ancient Kingdom wouldn't allow an empire with strength not inferior to its own to build a teleportation array within its own country!

This point is absolute!

This is simply like burying a time bomb in one's own hinterland, and it's the kind of time bomb that could be detonated at any time!

Similarly, the Holy See absolutely wouldn't allow the Ancient Kingdom to set up a teleportation array within its jurisdiction, even if it were set up on the national boundary line, it would be impossible! After all, this is related to the safety of the Holy See's territory!

"According to the current speed, in about three to four days, we will officially enter the national boundary line of the Holy See." At the very front of the Cold Cloud Sparrow, Yan Qian spoke slowly, attracting the gazes of the others.

569. Good! It's burning!

Yan Qian naturally also sensed the actions of those small country rulers, but he didn't care at all, or rather, he didn't take the actions of these small country rulers to heart at all.

After all, the strongest strength of the rulers of these small countries mixed between the two great empires is only at the Sovereign Realm as a ruler.

Although they are rulers, to put it bluntly, the strength of these so-called rulers is likely not as good as his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Although Yan Tianlu and Yan Qinyun are also in the Sovereign Realm, as his direct descendants, and the former Saintess of the Flame Spirit Sect, the two's talent is naturally extraordinary, and resources have never been lacking.

Therefore, even in a one-on-one situation, Yan Qian has confidence that Yan Tianlu and Yan Qinyun can crush these rulers.

Unless, among these rulers, someone has good luck and can promote to the Immortal Realm, then Yan Tianlu and Yan Qinyun wouldn't be opponents.

But even if they are Immortals, so what? One must know that Lan Xiatong is also an Immortal, and a peak Immortal at that; when this Palace Master of the Palace gets serious, even the Palace Masters of the other three great academies have to retreat three steps.

After all, when a woman goes crazy, it's truly unreasonable.

Besides, isn't he, this Undying Realm expert, dead? For the Undying Realm, suppressing the Immortal Realm is simply as easy as turning over a hand!

This is the gap of a major level.

Therefore, Yan Qian doesn't put these rulers in his eyes at all; his energy right now is more focused on Lu Li and Yan Yuexin.

"Qinyun, you once participated in the inheritance trial, and you were also the Saintess of the previous generation of the Flame Spirit Sect; taking advantage of the fact that there is still some time, you should mention the points that need attention in the upcoming inheritance trial to Yuexin and Lu Li." Withdrawing his perception, Yan Qian said.

Although she had been lured back to the Ancient Kingdom by Yan Tianlu for a long time, and had even given birth to children, and her daughter was already an adult, Yan Qinyun was indeed a genuine Saintess and had also participated in the inheritance trial for the Holy Son and Saintess.

Therefore, regarding the content of the upcoming inheritance trial, Yan Qinyun was undoubtedly the most clear among everyone present.

As for Yan Tianlu, he was supplementing from the side to prevent omissions.

"Okay, Grandfather," hearing Yan Qian's words, Yan Qinyun nodded, then turned to look at Lu Li and Yan Yuexin.

As her only daughter, when Yan Yuexin was very young, she often mentioned everything about the Holy See to her, which was a kind of nostalgia.

And since Yan Yuexin inherited the title of Red Lotus Saintess and obtained the qualification of a candidate Saintess, she knew that Yan Yuexin would eventually return to the Holy See to participate in the inheritance trial.

Therefore, on weekdays, she hadn't mentioned less about the matters that needed attention regarding the inheritance trial to her.

Especially during this period, as the time to head to the Holy See drew closer, Yan Qinyun caught Yan Yuexin to talk about this matter whenever she had time; Yan Yuexin was almost scared by her mother's appearance.

It could be said that Yan Yuexin had nothing left to hear; Yan Qian's meaning this time was more to let her explain to Lu Li. After all, back in the Four Great Academies Exchange Tournament, Lan Xiatong only explained a general idea, and the other party hadn't participated in the inheritance trial either, so there were many details she wasn't clear about.

Regarding Yan Qian's arrangement, Yan Qinyun didn't care too much; after all, Lu Li was the guardian knight when Yan Yuexin participated in the inheritance trial; the clearer the other party was about the rules of the inheritance trial, the greater the chance her daughter would have to pass the trial and obtain the inheritance.

But besides this, there was another point, which was that Yan Qinyun also developed a lot of interest in Lu Li.

Perhaps Yan Yuexin herself didn't notice this aspect; after all, the other party was still young, but she and Yan Tianlu keenly discovered that in the past half year, Yan Yuexin mentioned Lu Li's name much more often than anyone else.

This was the first time the couple had heard their daughter mention the name of a member of the opposite sex so many times.

If it were just because of the agreement for this Holy See trip, then Yan Yuexin didn't need to care so much about Lu Li. Because after the Holy See trip ended, there might not be any other contact between the two.

But now it seemed that Yan Yuexin's performance wasn't just stemming from the contract of this Holy See trip. Moreover, Lan Xiatong had once mentioned that during the Four Great Academies Exchange Tournament, the two had once gone out together.

With a woman's sixth sense, plus the familiarity with her daughter, this had to make Yan Qinyun suspect whether her daughter had developed an interest in Lu Li.

After all, this was the first time her daughter had shown such great interest in a member of the opposite sex since she grew up.

Moreover, Lu Li was the Night Queen's student; this was simply the best combination for her daughter!

Although the couple didn't care much about these, they naturally still hoped that the other half chosen by their daughter would be equally excellent.

And Lu Li obviously fit Yan Tianlu and Yan Qinyun's thoughts very well.

Thinking of the gossip that might exist in this, Yan Qinyun felt that she instantly burned up, and the gaze looking at Lu Li and Yan Yuexin became hot.

Even though she was already a wife, Yan Qinyun's interest in this aspect hadn't decreased at all, especially since the protagonist this time was her own daughter.

Back then, when she was the Saintess of the Flame Spirit Sect, she dared to withstand the pressure of many people in the Holy See and go to the Ancient Kingdom with Yan Tianlu, and eventually marry the other party, which showed that Yan Qinyun obviously wasn't a pushover.

Now that it was rare to eat gossip about her own daughter, Yan Qinyun naturally wasn't willing to give up so easily.

Even if this gossip wasn't about her daughter, Yan Qinyun wouldn't let it go so easily.

No, I don't understand, why did you suddenly burn up!

Being stared at by Yan Qinyun, Yan Yuexin was completely confused; she really couldn't understand why her mother would burn up! What exactly was going on!

However, although Yan Yuexin didn't know why Yan Qinyun would suddenly burn up, her radar frantically reminded her that her mother was currently in a very dangerous state.

This was all a lesson learned over the past ten-plus years!

If it were on a weekday, Yan Yuexin would run away without saying a word.

But thinking about it, she was now on the back of the Cold Cloud Sparrow; although the Cold Cloud Sparrow's body was huge, no matter how huge it was, the space was limited; where could she run to? Run from the sparrow's head to the sparrow's tail?

Ultimately, sensing that she had nowhere to escape, Yan Yuexin could only flatten her mouth and silently prepare to welcome the arrival of the storm.

Why do I feel that this gaze has a subtle sense of familiarity?

Not only Yan Yuexin, even Lu Li, being looked at by Yan Qinyun, couldn't help but have strange thoughts rise in his heart.

Why are you looking at me with the gaze of a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law? Counting this time, he and Yan Yuexin had only met three times.

Not to mention that the first time your family's cabbage met me, it was almost cut by the radiance.

"Alright, let's talk about business first, don't scare the children," ultimately, Yan Tianlu patted Yan Qinyun's shoulder; regarding his wife's personality, he was very clear, and also knew why the other party would burn up.

But rather, he himself was attracted by the other party's personality back then, so he agreed to become the other party's guardian knight, and eventually walked together.

However, faintly, Yan Tianlu's gaze looking at Lu Li, while revealing satisfaction, also faintly carried a trace of scrutiny.

Just like Yan Qinyun sensing Yan Yuexin's abnormality, Yan Tianlu naturally also sensed his daughter's abnormality. Although he wasn't a daughter-con, he wouldn't fail to notice Yan Yuexin's difference.

A daughter growing up would definitely be married off, but his own big cabbage that had been raised for so long was arched by someone unknowingly when he didn't know; Yan Tianlu was still somewhat unhappy.

Even if Yan Yuexin herself hadn't noticed this point.

A more important point was that Lu Li, who arched his cabbage, didn't belong to the Southern Region, but the Eastern Region, which meant that the opportunities for them as a couple to meet their daughter in the future would be much less.
