717 Crisis of the Fire Nation
“Haha, alright. I’ll acknowledge you as my brother just based on your words.” Ye Qiu laughed and agreed.
Hearing this, Bai Junlin was even happier. “Hehe, Big Brother! Don’t worry, from now on, I definitely won’t go west if you ask me to go east. Let me take the lead for Big Brother. I want to see what kind of monster is causing chaos in the world.” Bai Junlin was in high spirits and incomparably confident.
The few of them bid farewell to Patriarch Bai Ze and quickly stepped onto the path to the Fire Domain. Along the way, Ye Qiu saw many different living beings and some acquaintances. For example, the opponents he had once beaten up in the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range. Unfortunately, Ye Qiu was in Qi Wuhui’s image at that time, so they couldn’t recognize Ye Qiu at all.
“Master, this is the Fire Nation’s Imperial Palace.” Arriving at a glorious and domineering ancient city that emitted raging flames everywhere, Yaya introduced excitedly.
This was her home, the home she had lived in since she was young. This was the first time she had returned home since she became his disciple. She couldn’t help but feel a little excited. Along the way, she kept introducing some of the Fire Domain’s achievements and legends.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but frown as he looked at the heavily guarded and patrolling palace. To be able to make the Jiang Clan of the Fire Nation so vigilant, the impact this time must be quite great.

Their restrained aura was hidden very well, but Ye Qiu still felt it. “Heavenly Venerate expert? Hmm… Looks like the Fire Nation has indeed suffered an incomparably heavy blow this time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so strict. The entire country is tense and prepared for a war at any time.”
Ye Qiu gestured for Yaya to negotiate and let them enter the palace. Although he could barge in at will with his strength, there was no need. This was because he was here as a guest. There was no need to be so rude.
After receiving her master’s signal, Yaya hurriedly walked forward and negotiated with the guards guarding the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step forward, the guard in front of her instantly locked his cold gaze on her. He instantly picked up his weapon and berated, “Forbidden area of the palace, idlers, stop!”
Because of the long period of nervousness, these guards became incomparably serious. No matter who it was, they ordered them to retreat. Seeing this, Yaya frowned. She was clearly shocked by the killing intent just now and immediately took out her princess token. “Impudent! Open the door!”
The moment the princess token appeared, the expressions of all the guards present changed. Although they had just been transferred to guard the door, they still recognized this token of the Jiang Clan.
Yaya’s piece was the Jiang Clan’s princess token.
Seeing the token, the expressions of all the guards instantly changed. They bowed in unison and said, “Greetings, Your Highness! During a special period, we were also under orders. Please forgive us for offending you just now.” The officer in the lead apologized. Then, he turned around and said to the guard behind him, “Open the door!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the glorious door instantly opened. Yaya did not argue with them. She was not so petty, she was also impressed by their actions. After all, they were all working for the Fire Nation and were loyal and responsible. There were no mistakes.
“Master, let’s go in.” Yaya turned around and said to Ye Qiu. She couldn’t help but worry about her father’s situation when she saw how nervous these guards were. After all, she had never seen such a serious scene in the Fire Nation.
There must have been a huge change in the palace, which caused such a reaction. And the only person who could cause such a change was her father.
Ye Qiu could tell too. He turned around and looked at Bai Junlin. They silently followed Yaya into the palace.
“Big Brother, from the looks of it, this Fire Sovereign must be seriously injured. The entire country is so tense. Could it be that… there’s a coup?” Bai Junlin was a little suspicious. Although he was far away from the mortal world, it did not mean that he did not understand these things.
Ye Qiu was also deep in thought. Bai Junlin’s words were just as he had guessed. “Well, we’ll know after we go in and take a look.”
As they walked towards the glorious hall, a soldier led the way. He didn’t bring Ye Qiu and the others to the Righteous Hall. Instead, he went to the Grand Peace Hall.
When Ye Qiu saw the words “Grand Peace Hall” written on the plaque, he immediately understood that this Fire Sovereign must be on the verge of death. He arrived in front of the Grand Peace Hall. There were thousands of people crowded in front of the hall. They were at a loss and guarded the door, not knowing what to do.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What should I do, what should I do!” A handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament paced back and forth in front of the hall, his face filled with worry.
“Big Brother, a few days ago, I’ve already sent someone to Heavenly Saint Mountain to tell Aunt what happened at home, but I haven’t seen her return. In the current situation, Father is seriously injured and can’t get up. My Fire Nation is in danger and the country can’t be without a master for a day. As the Crown Prince, you should take on this heavy responsibility and lead the overall situation.” Looking at his big brother, Jiang Ming, in front of him, Jiang Tao said sincerely, praying that the Crown Prince would take over and lead the overall situation.
When Jiang Ming heard this, it was as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders. He was still so young, so how could he withstand such pressure? However, when he turned around and looked at his brother and the princes behind him, Jiang Ming had no choice but to silently bear all of this.
He was the eldest son and the Crown Prince! He had to bear all of this when the Fire Nation was in trouble. At this moment, Jiang Ming’s heart was incomparably heavy. He kept praying in his heart that his aunt would return from Heavenly Saint Mountain as soon as possible.
Only then would he have a backbone! However, Jiang Ling’er had been in seclusion since she returned to the Heavenly Saint Mountain after suffering a setback in the Heaven Mending Holy Land.
She had no idea what was happening in the Fire Nation. She could only let Jiang Ming bear this life and death situation alone.
At this moment, Jiang Ming’s heart was incomparably haggard. He missed his father in the Grand Peace Hall and was worried that the citizens of the Fire Nation were suffering from purgatory outside the Fire Domain.
“Your Highness, Her Highness is back.” At this moment, a voice came from outside.
When Jiang Ming heard that the princess had returned, his despairing heart seemed to have aroused hope and he was overjoyed. “Aunt is back?”
He couldn’t believe it. There were only two princesses in the Fire Nation. One was the Eldest Princess, Jiang Ling’er, and the other was Jiang Yaya, their biological sister.
When they heard that the princess was back, they almost didn’t think about Yaya. They thought that Jiang Ling’er was back. Immediately, everyone was overjoyed and welcomed her out of the hall.
“Quick, invite Aunt in to take charge of the situation.” Jiang Ming called out loudly. The princes immediately reacted and were about to go out to welcome her. Unexpectedly, the person who walked in was not Jiang Ling’er, but a slightly tender Jiang Yaya in a red robe.
