After everyone parted ways, Cang Xuan carried Wen Xiaoliu back to the Purple Gold Palace. He could see that Wen Xiaoliu was pretending to be at ease, but she was actually feeling sad. In fact, Wen Xiaoliu still had mixed feelings, unsure about her emotions. She knew that she and Tu Shanjing were no longer possible, yet she didn't want him to forget about her so quickly. It was a conflicting feeling. Cang Xuan felt guilty and regretful upon hearing this. He shouldn't have allowed Tu Shanjing to get close to Wen Xiaoliu step by step. It had caused her deep pain. Wen Xiaoliu comforted Cang Xuan, telling him not to overthink, and assured him that she could handle it.

Xiyan King's health was failing, and he considered using this opportunity to choose the crown prince. He ordered Xiyan Deyan to personally handle the affairs of Chenrong Mountain's memorial ceremony and instructed him to be particularly attentive, as this ceremony was extraordinary for him. Xiyan Deyan was overjoyed and assumed that Xiyan King was going to pass the throne to him. He promised and confidently assured them, using the preparation of the ceremony as a reason to drive away Cang Xuan and others.

Under the name of Chenrong Xingling, Chishui Fenglong met with Wen Xiaoliu and straightforwardly expressed his intention to marry her. He had two main reasons. Firstly, the Central Plains clans saw that Xiyan King favored the Fifth Prince. Apart from the Shen clan's support for Cang Xuan, other clans shifted allegiance to Xiyan Deyan. Thus, Cang Xuan faced a life-threatening crisis. As the foremost of the Four Great Houses, the Chishui clan could influence the Central Plains clans' stance. Only by marrying Haoling Princess Wen Xiaoliu could Chishui Fenglong quickly become the leader of the Chishui clan.

Secondly, Chishui Fenglong's affinity with Wen Xiaoliu was genuine. While not deeply in love, he had greater fondness for her than for other noblewomen. He promised that she would be the only woman in his life. Wen Xiaoliu appreciated Chishui Fenglong's straightforwardness and asked for time to consider.

Not long after, news spread that Xiyan Deyan was to be appointed as the crown prince. Xiyan King ordered the gathering of a hundred thousand troops to seal off Chenrong Mountain within a hundred miles. Even the Purple Gold Peak was under Xiyan Deyan's control. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Cang Xuan. Wen Xiaoliu proactively sought out Chenrong Xingling and gradually understood her predicament.

Though both Wen Xiaoliu and Chenrong Xingling had experienced wandering, Chenrong Xingling found it hard to be as assertive and composed as Wen Xiaoliu. She had missed the chance to earn Cang Xuan's trust and expectations. Wen Xiaoliu didn't mind this, as Chenrong Xingling was not the most special person in his heart. He didn't need to force himself to be the most special one for her.

However, when Wen Xiaoliu heard that Wen Xiaoliu was engaged to Chishui Fenglong, his smile froze. He didn't want her to sacrifice her own happiness, but Wen Xiaoliu's decisions were resolute. Wen Xiaoliu wished to strategize for Cang Xuan, knowing she would never hope for a deeply profound marriage in this lifetime. As she watched Wen Xiaoliu walk away, tears welled up, concealing her heartache.

Due to Wen Xiaoliu's status as Haoling Princess and the direct disciple of Queen Mother Yushan, news of her engagement to Chishui Fenglong quickly spread across the realm. Tu Shanjing felt uneasy upon hearing this news, but he understood it was an inevitable outcome. After all, Chishui Fenglong was impeccable in terms of family background and capability. He fully deserved Wen Xiaoliu. On the other hand, he had betrayed Wen Xiaoliu's trust, and Xiang Liu was emotionally distant. Neither was deserving of Wen Xiaoliu's trust. The two men who loved Wen Xiaoliu the most unexpectedly met in Qingshui Town.

After Chishui Fenglong and Wen Xiaoliu's engagement, he naturally became the successor to the Chishui clan leadership. He openly supported Cang Xuan and led the major Central Plains clans to plead for Cang Xuan before Xiyan King. Xiyan King claimed that the crown prince had already been chosen and reassured them not to rush it. However, this only increased their worries.

Cang Xuan couldn't predict the outcome of tomorrow and had prepared for the worst. To prevent Wen Xiaoliu from being involved, he intentionally drugged her drink and had Miao Shou take her back to Haoling. He instructed the Water Tribe to obey her commands from now on. However, Wen Xiaoliu wasn't fooled. She pretended to collapse but secretly prepared for the next day's plan. If Xiyan King declared that the crown prince's position would be given to Xiyan Deyan, she would immediately shoot Xiyan King and initiate a rebellion.

The next morning, Xiyan King personally arrived at Chenrong Mountain. Beneath the altar stood various Central Plains clans, Xiyan King, and officials. Amidst the resonant sound of the yellow bell, Xiyan King led everyone in worshipping heaven and earth. After the lengthy and elaborate ceremony concluded, he announced that Cang Xuan would be the next ruler of Xiyan Kingdom. This news was shocking and caught everyone off guard, especially the Fifth and Seventh Princes who found it almost unbelievable.

Xiyan King placed the crown on Cang Xuan's head. Cang Xuan looked at Xiyan King silently, his eyes glistening with hidden tears. For Xiyan King, the kingdom was moving towards prosperity and needed a new ruler. Though the coronation ceremony wasn't grand, people wouldn't remember the king for the ceremony, but for his deeds.

Listening to Xiyan King's words, Wen Xiaoliu slowly lowered her bow and arrows and accompanied Xiyan King down the steps. In truth, Xiyan King had long known of Wen Xiaoliu and Cang Xuan's plan. If they had indeed rebelled and seized power, they would have resorted to violence and decisiveness, just like himself. The outcome showed that Cang Xuan had both courage and strategy, as well as kindness and tolerance, which would bring more peace to the realm.

While they were speaking, the voices of the courtiers behind them rang out as they bowed to the new King of Xiyan. Xiyan King was content. He would wait for Cang Xuan to unify all the clans before deciding whether to return to Xiyan Mountain. Wen Xiaoliu was happy too and suddenly found Xiyan King to be approachable. The grandfather and granddaughter rarely had such a harmonious and warm interaction.
