That graceful figure in silver armor was none other than Ning Siyuan!
Back then, after the Arena Tournament ended.
After Ji Tianxing and Zhen Hong entered the Bloodflame Secret Realm, she returned to the Longwind Courtyard and waited patiently for news.
However, two days later, Ji Tianxing did not return.
Instead, she saw the palace activating its defensive array. Ji Tianxing and the monarch were facing off against each other and were besieged by countless imperial guards and palace experts.
Later, Ji Tianxing broke through the palace's array and slashed Monarch City with his sword. He then escaped from the city and disappeared without a trace.
Ever since then, Ning Siyuan had been living in worry and anxiety.
She had also escaped from the chaotic Monarch City and chased after him for tens of thousands of miles.
However, she was too weak and was left behind without a trace. She could not find any trace of Ji Tianxing and the others.
Helpless, she could only return to Monarch City and wait for news.
Fortunately, the Third Prince returned to Monarch City half a day later.
She dragged her aunt to find the Third Prince and pestered him tirelessly, asking about what happened and Ji Tianxing's whereabouts.
In the end, the Third Prince could not resist her persistence.
He could only promise to bring her to Slanting Wind City to see Ji Tianxing again.
At this time, she had been waiting in the Flower Pavilion for half the night.
She had been excited and excited before, but she had already calmed down.
She was in a daze. The scenes in Qingshan City and Tianxue County City flashed through her mind.
It had only been a few months, but things had changed. The changes were too great.
Compared to the surging waves and changing winds now, she missed the calm and tranquility of the past more …
Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, she sighed with emotion.
Ji Tianxing walked into the Flower Pavilion. Looking at her back, he said, "I'm sorry to have kept Miss Ning waiting."
Ning Siyuan immediately woke up. She suppressed her complicated thoughts and turned to look at Ji Tianxing.
Seeing Ji Tianxing, who was three steps away from her, looking as handsome as ever with a mysterious and reserved temperament, her hanging heart finally settled down.
At the very least, Ji Tianxing was still safe and sound after experiencing such a shocking storm. That was the greatest blessing.
Ning Siyuan bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Gongzi Tianxing. It's great that you're safe and sound."
"Sorry for making you worry." Ji Tianxing smiled.
Regardless of the distance between the two of them or their demeanor and tone, they remained polite and courteous.
However, there was an invisible distance between them.
After a moment of silence, Ning Siyuan asked, "Dare I ask Young Master, what do you plan to do next?"
Ji Tianxing didn't hide anything and answered honestly, "I'll recuperate here first. After I've recovered, I'll leave Bloodflame Divine Country and head south."
Ning Siyuan frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Doesn't that mean we have to pass through the Great Yan Empire?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "That's where I want to go. I have some things to investigate."
Ning Siyuan vaguely guessed something and asked, "Is it the matter you asked us to help you investigate?"
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly.
Ning Siyuan became even more worried and said, "But you have a deep feud with Prince Lian. I'm afraid it'll be very dangerous for you to go to the Great Yan Empire."
"It's okay." Ji Tianxing shook his head.
"Then … Okay." Ning Siyuan stopped persuading him and said, "The Great Yan Empire is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It's not like Bloodflame Divine Country, which is remote.
When you're in the Great Yan Empire, you have to be careful. Don't be reckless.
No matter how far you go, there will be people who will worry about you. "
Ji Tianxing smiled and thanked him. Then, he asked, "When do you plan to clear things up with Qi Huanzhi?"
Ning Siyuan was taken aback. He said hesitantly, "Let's wait a few more days! When the turmoil in the Divine Country is over and the Third Prince is free, it'll be better to ask him to deal with it. "
By then, the Third Prince would be the king.
With the king's golden words, helping Ning Siyuan and Qi Huanzhi to cancel the engagement would not hurt the Qi family's reputation too much.
Moreover, given the Third Prince's character and style, he would definitely compensate the Qi family heavily.
In this way, the Qi family would be comforted and accounted for.
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Since you've thought about it so thoroughly, I have nothing to worry about. I thank you on behalf of the Qi family."
"You don't have to be so polite, Young Master." Ning Siyuan quickly shook her head.
After hesitating for a while, she asked in a complicated tone, "If I may be so bold as to ask, Young Master, is it possible for you to come back in the future?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a while and shook his head. "Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Maybe I will come back, but that will be thousands or tens of thousands of years later. "
The light in Ning Siyuan's eyes dimmed, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
However, she suppressed her emotions and tried hard to remain calm. Her eyes did not turn misty.
She forced a smile and said, "That's right! The Bloodflame Divine Kingdom is a small place after all. Young Master will definitely spread his wings and fly high in the future, roaming the world.
Siyuan wishes Young Master a smooth journey in advance. I hope Young Master will be able to soar into the Nine Heavens and meet with the wind and clouds. "
Ji Tianxing looked at her and asked, "Thank you, Miss Ning. Then, shall we … bid farewell?"
Ning Siyuan was silent for a while before she bowed deeply and said in a choked voice, "I will never forget Young Master's kindness for the rest of my life. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I hope we will meet again!"
After saying that, she suppressed the tears in her eyes and walked away with her head lowered.
When she brushed past Ji Tianxing, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart. Two drops of crystal clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Ji Tianxing stood in place and watched her leave in a hurry.
After a long time, when her figure disappeared into the night, Ji Tianxing sighed silently.
"Sigh … If I hadn't fallen in love back then, I wouldn't be so sad now."
Regarding this, he was helpless. There was nothing he could do but sigh.
As soon as his voice fell, a faint voice sounded in his ear.
"You're such a hypocrite. If you didn't want to see her sad, why did you provoke her?
Besides, she's a girl and can't open her mouth. Why didn't you take the initiative to take her away? "
Following the voice, a reddish-purple figure landed beside Ji Tianxing, bringing along a fragrant wind.
Ji Tianxing didn't need to look back to know it was Lin Xue.
He gently shook his head and said, "Your words are biased. I never took the initiative to approach her, let alone pursue her. How could I provoke her?"
Lin Xue curled her lips and said, "Even if you didn't pursue her, you're too outstanding and dazzling.
You appeared in front of her and even helped her. That's provoking! "
Ji Tianxing was helpless, "Okay, you win."
Lin Xue showed a mocking smile and asked, "You knew she was interested in you, so why didn't you take the initiative to invite her and take her away from the Bloodflame Divine Kingdom?
Are you afraid that this old lady and that Zhen Hong girl will be jealous?
Don't worry, this old lady isn't such a petty person.
It's normal for a playboy like you to have three wives and four concubines … "
Before she could finish, Ji Tianxing furrowed his brows and glared at her.
"Why are you and that Zhen Hong girl jealous? We're just friends! Friends, understand?
Don't always talk nonsense and make people think we have some kind of ambiguous relationship. "
Not only was Lin Xue not angry, but she also took the opportunity to stick to him and whispered with a charming look, "This old lady can't figure it out … Are you willing?"
