Dugu Xiao felt puzzled, as did Ji Youzhi, his gaze fixed firmly on Xiaosuisui's face.
Suddenly, a name popped into his mind—Ah Ling!
From what he knew, Ah Ling was the spirit of the Soul-Calling Bell, and although he had not truly entered the Cultivation Realm, he understood that once a contract relationship was established between an artifact spirit and its master, they could communicate seamlessly mind-to-mind.
Could it be that the strange behavior of his precious niece was because of Ah Ling?
Ji Youzhi secretly speculated in his heart, then he heard Dugu Xiao issuing orders to the Imperial Guard.
"Everyone listen to the Long Princess; as long as you are soldiers of Great Han, you must obey the Long Princess! Protect the Long Princess!"
Dugu Xiao loudly announced his decision, preventing them from opposing Ji Youzhi's orders, while covertly moving closer to Xiaosuisui.
