When Princess Lingchen saw Prince Lu again, her lips curved into a small smile. "It looks to me that Da Cheng soil did not want you to leave, Prince Lu Wei."

Prince Lu Wei stood up to greet the Crown Princess. He could only laugh helplessly at the Princess' words. It was true that it was not the first time he tried to leave Da Cheng. Each time he left, something would bring him back to Da Cheng's soil. This time, he returned to accompany his grandmother to a site.

According to Jiang Xiao Tian, in the western part of Da Cheng, there was a tree called a Sacrificial Tree. It was reported that people would sometimes go missing after they spent some time around the tree. This time, it was his grandmother who suggested for them to return to Da Cheng. When Chief Ye heard about the tree, naturally, she was curious.

Since the one who had seen the tree was the Crown Princess' physician, Ying Yi, they have no other choice but to return to the capital.

"Perhaps you should consider staying in Da Cheng permanently." Seeing the Prince's embarrassed expression, the Crown Princess continued to tease.

Prince Lu Wei felt the corner of his mouth started to twitch. If others heard the Crown Princess' words, they might assume that she was trying to flirt with him.

"Your Highness, you must be joking," Prince Lu Wei said. "I came back this time as my grandmother heard that there was a tree called Sacrificial Tree in the west part of Da Cheng."

The Princess smiled. At that moment, Chief Ye entered the room along with Jiang Xiao Tian and Yang Yun. They paid their respect to the Crown Princess and wished for the Princess prosperity and long life.

"You may rise," Princess Lingchen said and pointed towards the seat before them. When both Prince Lu Wei and Chief Ye had taken their place, the princess glanced at Ying Yi who stood beside her and said, "Jiang Xiao Tian had told me about the matters." She looked at the old lady beside the prince and continued, "Chief Ye, is it really possible for us to bring back Mingyue?"

Chief Ye frowned as her grip on her walking staff tightened. "I cannot promise that we could bring the physician back. After all, there are too many factors to consider. But I will not say that it is entirely impossible. It's just that the chances are very slim."

The old lady had considered killing their hopes by telling them that it was impossible; however, when her gaze fell on each of everyone in the room, she suddenly changed her mind.

It seemed that the missing girl was loved by everyone around her. No matter what Chief Ye had said, none of them were willing to give up to find the physician. Chief Ye knew that even if she refused to help them this time, the others would try to find another way. It would be better for them to see with their own eyes how difficult it will be to enter a magical portal. Perhaps then they will choose to give up and move on with their life.


"As long as there is a possibility to bring Mingyue back, we will not let it go no matter how small it is," the Crown Princess said.

Chief Ye sighed. Somehow, it felt as if something was weighing on her shoulder. She started to wonder if she made a mistake by returning to Da Cheng. However, when Chief Ye thought about that Sacrificial Tree, she got curious. All these while, she thought that there was no other tree like the one in Sui Country.

"I will tell you what I know," Chief Ye said. "But of course, first, I will have to see this tree."

The Crown Princess turned to Ying Yi and started to move her hands. After she had been under Ying Yi care for months, Princess Lingchen began to understand more of what Ying Yi was trying to say. It has been a while since the two had to communicate through ink and paper.

"Ying Yi will show us the way," The Princess said.

Soon, the group went on the street and headed for the Sacrificial Tree with Ying Yi as their guide. A year ago, Ying Yi had visited the village with the other physicians from the Imperial Infirmary. At that time, the western region was hit by a heavy flood, and the Imperial Infirmary sent them to aid the victims. It was during this time that Ying Yi coincidentally found the tree.

After traveling for a while, the carriage stopped. Princess Lingchen stepped out of the carriage with Ying Yi's help. When she looked up, a humongous weeping willow tree stood before them. Because of the season, the leaves had turned yellow.

Princess Lingchen wanted to step closer to look at the tree but was stopped by Jiang Xiao Tian.

"Your Highness, it would not be wise for you to come closer," Jiang Xiao Tian said. "If anything happened to you…"

Jiang Xiao Tian did not have to finish his sentence for the Princess to understood his intention.

"I understand," Princess Lingchen nodded. She stood next to the carriage and watched from afar. Because the villagers were afraid of the legend of the Sacrificial Tree, no one dared to wander close to it.

Chief Ye stood the closest to the tree. Not far away behind the old lady were Prince Lu Wei and Yang Yun. Earlier, the Chief had forbidden anyone from stepping too close to her.

From where she stood, Princess Lingchen could see the chief waving around her hands, and her lips moved as if she was reciting something. After a while, Princess Lingchen chose to go next to Prince Lu Wei. After all, if she wanted to find the answer to her question, Prince Lu Wei would be the perfect choice as he was a member of the Nanlin Tribe.

"What is she doing?"

Prince Lu Wei turned to see the Crown Princess stood next to him. He glanced towards his grandmother and then, back at the Princess. "Pardon me, Your Highness. I was not knowledgeable enough about these things. But I think, my grandmother is checking at its spiritual power. From what I understand, If the power is dense enough, then, it will be possible to use it as a portal that could connect us to a different space."

Princess Lingchen nodded. The group watched in silence as they wait for Chief Ye to finish whatever she was doing.
