The Fourth Lady

Seeing the tree completely empty, Qingyan seemed to have taken a load off her mind. If her intuition just now was correct, then the one that appeared on the tree earlier must be Yaochi.

And if you were to ask why Qingyan was so sure, it was mostly because Yaochi carried an innate scent on him. This scent, others were unable to sense it, but she could still sense it.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Among the four guardians of the Thousand Beast Pavilion, the only one she regarded highly was the Azure Dragon alone. The name Yaochi was also bestowed onto him by Qilian Qingyan. And with his status as her protector, he also became Qilian Qingyan's personal imperial bodyguard.

But unlike Fengqing, who was considered a shadow guard, Yaochi followed by her side closely.

Her martial art skills were not as good as theirs, so Yaochi would patiently teach her mind techniques to refine her skills.

She was Su Qingyan. The former Qilian Qingyan was no longer here.
