That dispirited figure was Ning Hangfeng, the former commander of Crimson Moon City's Imperial Guard, a Four-Star Emperor Wu powerhouse.
At this moment, however, he was dispirited and listless, looking like he had given up on himself.
When he saw Li Yunxiao, a ripple appeared in his murky gaze. A sharp light flashed across his eyes, and there was even a hint of excitement.
Li Yunxiao said leisurely, "A friend once told me that the more wine you drink, the warmer you get, and the more water you drink, the colder it gets. But then another friend told me that the more she drinks, the colder it gets. Do you know why? "
Light flickered in Ning Hangfeng's eyes as he laughed and said, "I heard my sister say it before. It's because her heart is cold."
Li Yunxiao said, "Then what about you?"
"Me?" Ning Hangfeng gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine and said, "I lost my heart long ago."
His eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "Are you here to save Ruobing?"
Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "That's right. Do you know where he is?"
Ning Hangfeng laughed loudly and said, "Haha, you're quite loyal! Come with me! "
He flung the wine jar away, startling the person beside him. The two of them disappeared on the street one after the other.
Furthermore, the two of them did not conceal their conversation at all. Many passersby stopped and looked at each other, revealing strange and stunned expressions.
Very soon, the two of them arrived on top of a building. Looking into the distance, Ning Hangfeng pointed ahead and said, "This is where my sister used to live."
Li Yunxiao squinted his eyes and looked over. It was a tranquil land of peach blossoms, a small bridge, flowing water, winding corridors, and a leisurely atmosphere.
Ning Hangfeng said, "Take Ruobing away, far away from this troublesome place. It's best to find a place to live in seclusion and never ask about the affairs of the world again. If you can't do that, at least let Ruobing live in seclusion and let her live happily. "
Li Yunxiao glanced at him and said, "She's Jiang Churan's daughter, the former Crimson Moon City Lord's daughter. This is her home."
Ning Hangfeng was taken aback and said with a wry smile, "Home? This used to be everyone's home. Now, many people have lost their homes. "
Li Yunxiao said, "So, what we need to do is not to hide, but to take it back."
Ning Hangfeng's body trembled. His eyes flickered with a complicated expression. Then, like a deflated balloon, he burst into laughter and said, "Haha, take it back? Where do you think this is? This was Redmoon City! This was Scarlet Moon City, one of the seven superpowers. What could they use to seize it? With just you? Or me? Hahaha, this is too funny! "He laughed so hard that two streaks of tears rolled down his cheeks, and his tears were stained with blood.
Li Yunxiao looked at him calmly and said, "Ning Hangfeng, the last time I came to Hong Yue City, you were a four star Emperor Wu and I was only a six star Martial Saint. Now, I am an eight star Emperor Wu and you are still a four star Emperor Wu. You really disappoint me. Not only me, but your sister will also feel disappointed for you. "
Ning Hangfeng shuddered and suddenly said, "My sister? By the way, do you know where my sister is? Is she still alive? "
He seemed to have spent a lot of energy to ask this question. His whole body was drenched in sweat, and his face was drained of blood.
Li Yunxiao's pupils constricted slightly, but soon returned to normal. He said, "Your sister is still alive."
"Ah? It's true, it's true. You're not lying to me?! "
Ning Hangfeng was overjoyed. He was indescribably emotional, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Li Yunxiao said, "It's true that she's still alive, but she's under someone else's control. I was counting on you to save her, but it seems that I was overthinking. "He shook his head in disappointment.
Ning Hangfeng's face was full of shame and anger. He said, "Under who?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Isn't saying it sending you to your death?" He said disdainfully, "With your trash strength, you can't even enter the Stellar Energy within a thousand meters of the other party. Asking will only add to your troubles."
"Pipa!"
Ning Hangfeng's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. His face was red with shame and indignation.
Li Yunxiao said, "Everyone's situation is different. Their position and energy are also different, and their future achievements are also different. Some people can reach the peak of Emperor Wu and peek at the supreme divine path, while others may forever stop below Emperor Wu and have no hope of reaching the Jiutian realm for the rest of their lives. All living beings are as insignificant as ants. So, what is an expert? "
He pointed at Ning Hangfeng's heart and said seriously, "A true expert is here. The more setbacks, the more courageous they become, and the more they never admit defeat. That is an expert!"
Ning Hangfeng's body trembled violently. His fingers dug into his flesh, and blood dripped onto the ground.
Li Yunxiao said, "When you become an expert, I'll tell you about Ning Keyue."
With that, he took a step forward and became absent-minded. Then, he turned into smoke and vanished from the tower.
"Aaaaah!!"
Ning Hangfeng's loud cries came from the tower. He swallowed his resentment and was sorrowful and moving.
The space above the tower slightly rippled, and a figure slowly appeared. He was completely wrapped in a black robe, and he looked at the scenery of the peach garden in front of him without moving for a long time.
Ning Hangfeng was only a few meters away from the black-robed figure, but he didn't notice it at all. His cries gradually weakened, and he finally turned into a ray of light and flew into the distance.
The black-robed old man stared into the distance and muttered to himself, "Li Yunxiao? Who are you? "
It was a land of peach garden with fragrant grass, fresh flowers, and green willows. The wind blew and shadows moved.
Butterflies and dragonflies fluttered among the flowers, and mist rose from the flowing water. Spiritual Qi pervaded the air. It was quiet, the complete opposite of the bustling Crimson Moon City.
On the willow tree, a few swallows were chattering as they built their nests on the tree with dried branches and soil in their mouths.
"Early orioles are fighting for warm trees, and new swallows are pecking the spring mud."
Under the willow, a white-clothed woman looked at the spring swallows and gave a rare smile. It was like a silent moistening that added spring to the flowers.
"Sigh, you still have the mood to admire the flowers and birds here. This is called the swallows of the old days flying into the homes of ordinary people. You and I are the princesses of Crimson Moon City, but in an instant, we've become someone's plaything. We're not even as good as a bird. "
A red-clothed woman beside her raised her arms lazily and sighed bitterly, "You're lucky. You're married to Tang Xin, and you might even become the mistress of Crimson Moon City in the future. But I'm miserable. I don't even know whose house I'll end up in. "
Jiang Ruobing said, "If I like you, I'll let you marry Tang Xin."
Jiang Ruomei was full of resentment. She pinched Jiang Ruobing's delicate face and looked her up and down. "I don't think you're any prettier than me. Why are you the bride? Don't be discontented. Even if you're still a princess, the man you're married to is only so-so. After you get married, serve Young Master Tang Xin well and fight for your position. I'm counting on you in the future. "
Jiang Ruomei's face was full of jealousy. She stuck out her chest proudly and wrapped it in a red satin cloth.
She was completely reborn. Her waist was slim, and her skin was smooth like jade. Draped in a red satin dress, her beauty was no less than Jiang Ruobing's. In fact, she was even more alluring.
Jiang Ruobing frowned. "Don't spout nonsense, sister. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the smooth transition of Crimson Moon City. But how can I treat Tang Xin wholeheartedly?"
"Aiyo, sacrifice? You've been wronged, haven't you?"
Jiang Ruomei sarcastically said, "You're a poor lady now, and he's the son of the Crimson Moon City Lord. Who's the one trying to climb up the social ladder? Do you still remember how those snobs looked down on you in the Jade Toad Faction? Even that toad Qin Wei wanted to get his hands on you. But when the Tang Family sent a message saying that they wanted to marry you, didn't you see the change in their attitude towards us? Even Qin Wei's lecherous eyes changed! "
Jiang Ruobing's heart was in a mess. "Aren't you and Qin Wei together now? If you serve Qin Wei well and become the Mistress of the Jade Toad Faction in the future, your status will be extremely high. "
"Hmph, why should you be the Mistress of Crimson Moon City, and I can only be the Mistress of the Jade Toad Faction?" Jiang Ruomei was unconvinced. "In terms of birth, I'm the same as you. In terms of looks, I'm not inferior to you. In terms of pleasing men, I'm a hundred times better than you. Why should I be lower than you?"
Jiang Ruobing's face flashed with shame. She scolded, "It's rare for me to come out and relax, but I still have to listen to your nonsense!"
Jiang Ruomei said coldly, "How am I talking nonsense? What did I say wrong? "Her eyes flickered and she suddenly smiled." Are you still thinking about Li Yunxiao? "
Jiang Ruobing's body trembled, and she hurriedly said, "No, stop talking nonsense!"
"No?" Jiang Ruomei smiled slyly. "Then forget it. I thought you were interested in Li Yunxiao. I heard some news about him, and I wanted to tell you, but it seems like there's no need now. "
"What? What news about Li Yunxiao? "
Jiang Ruobing panicked. She knew that Jiang Ruomei was bullying her on purpose. She immediately said angrily, "If you don't say it, please leave immediately!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll say it. Don't be angry."
Jiang Ruomei smiled. "You still say you don't think about him? But it's no wonder. Li Yunxiao is handsome, powerful, and unrestrained. He's also unrestrained. He's …"
"Enough!"
Jiang Ruobing's face turned red, and she scolded, "Just tell me the news!"
Jiang Ruomei saw that she was really angry, so she didn't dare to say more. She changed the topic. "I just heard from the Four Extremes Sect that Li Yunxiao made a big mess in Fengling City not long ago, and almost destroyed the entire city. Now the Four Extremes Sect has already sent experts to capture him, and even Divine Transformation Sea experts have been dispatched. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape this time. "
Jiang Ruobing's face turned ugly, and she said anxiously, "What is he doing in Fengling City? Doesn't he know that this is a troubled time? What a fool, a fool! "
"What is it?" Jiang Ruomei chuckled. "Do you really not know, or are you pretending? The whole world knows that he came to Red Moon City to save you. "
Jiang Ruobing's face instantly turned pale, and she bit her lips until they were bright red. She said, "I'm fine. Why do I need him to save me? Hurry up and make him leave! "
Jiang Ruomei smiled. "You're fine? Why can't you tell? You always look so miserable. It's only been a few days, and you've become thinner than me. I'm so jealous. Are all the good men in the world blind? How can I not be compared to you? "
