In an instant,
The expressions on the Heavenly Officials' faces became even more subtle than Pei Ming's.
A white-clothed Taoist responded and came out.
His expression was calm and his bearing was calm and elegant. It was Xie Lian. Everyone greeted him one after another, "Your Highness the Crown Prince." "Your Highness."
Their expressions and words were all polite and courteous. Xie Lian also politely greeted everyone.
He went out to welcome them.
"Lord Rain Master."
Rain Master led the black bull that was the protector's mount.
He arrived in front of the temporary hut and slightly nodded.
That black bull was still carrying large chests of local produce.
It was specially sent over.
It was said that eating it had the miraculous effect of nourishing the protector.
When the Heavenly Officials heard this, some of them happily went up to divide it.
Some of them didn't move. Xie Lian didn't move. Rain Master said, "I brought something else for Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Lian smiled and said, "Ah.
Then I'll thank you first! What is it? "
The Rain Master took out an item wrapped in a white cloth from his sleeve and opened it.
Xie Lian's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Lord Rain Master! I was looking for this everywhere! "
Feng Xin also came over to take a look.
He also said, "Miraculous silk! That's great! That toy of yours can finally be fixed! "
Xie Lian dug around in his sleeve.
He took out two broken pieces of white silk and happily said, "That's right. I finally found the material to fix Ruoxie! I'll go fix it now! "
Feng Xin grabbed him and said, "You fix it? Forget it.
What can you fix? Ask someone else to help you. "He then turned around and shouted," Mu Qing! Come and work! "
Mu Qing slowly walked over and coldly said, "What? What do you mean? You want me to fix it? "
Feng Xin said, "Isn't that your specialty?"
Mu Qing snorted and said, "You guys really know how to use people. You're ordering me around again. I'm afraid you'll have me sweep the floor tomorrow."
Xie Lian laughed and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll do it myself. "
Mu Qing had already taken the white silk from his hands. He rolled his eyes and went to look for a needle and thread. Soon after, Pei Ming also came over to greet the black bull. She wanted to pat the black bull, but the bull's big teeth bit her with a "dang" sound, almost biting off her finger. She was annoyed and hurriedly left. Yu Shi asked, "Has General Pei's arm not healed yet?"
Xie Lian replied, "Not yet. At the beginning, he and Rong Guang agreed to use the Bright Ray Sword. In addition to his apology, he also had to pay an arm as a price. Although Rong Guang's resentment dissipated in the end and he didn't take his arm, his injuries were not light. "
Yu Shi said, "So that's how it is. No wonder General Pei's expression is so strange."
Xie Lian thought to himself, "That's not why his expression is strange."
As it turned out, Pei Ming was still brooding over being saved by the Rain Master at Bronze Cauldron Mountain and the Immortal Capital. He was a man who prided himself on being a man of indomitable spirit. He simply couldn't bear to lose a little bit of face in front of a woman, especially a woman he had an old grudge against. Compared to the Rain Master, Xuan Ji's actions were probably more acceptable to him. In short, he couldn't get over it no matter how much he tossed and turned. Whenever he saw the Rain Master, he would find it hard to calm down, which was why his expression was strange.
However, the Rain Master simply didn't understand what Xie Lian found difficult to calm down about. He would always politely smile in return. The two of them weren't even on the same path. It was simply ridiculous.
The Rain Master said, "That's right, Your Highness the Crown Prince, how is Xuan Ji?"
Xie Lian replied, "Xuan Ji is imprisoned at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to go and see?"
·
After the great battle, the demons and ghosts that had escaped from the various places of suppression were temporarily detained in the dungeon set up at the foot of Mount Taicang. Xie Lian led the way. Before they reached the dungeon, they could already hear a wave of rough curses from afar. Pei Su and Half-moon sat at the door, both expressionless.
Right now, they were too short on manpower and didn't have enough. Thus, the two of them were sent to help the Heavenly Court guard the dungeon. Inside the dungeon was Ke Mo, so when enemies met, their eyes would turn red. All day long, Ke Mo would give these two endless curses. However, the two of them pretended not to understand and sat like wooden statues. Seeing the two of them walk in, they both stood up and greeted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Rain Master."
The Rain Master gave them a box of local products. Xie Lian said, "Thank you for your hard work. Lord Rain Master wants to see Xuan Ji. "
Pei Su hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xuan Ji … …"
Xie Lian sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
The two of them entered the dungeon and found the place where Xuan Ji was imprisoned. Both of them were stunned when they saw that the dungeon was completely empty. There was only a tattered red wedding dress left.
Pei Su said, "Xuan Ji, it dissipated last night."
Xuan Ji's resentment had actually dissipated. It was truly inconceivable. Not long ago, this woman's obsession was still so deep. She had tightly held onto Pei Ming, unwilling to let go. Xie Lian said, "Perhaps she finally thought it through."
She finally understood why, in the past few hundred years, she had changed from a valiant and heroic noble daughter of a family of generals to a crazy, resentful woman who was despised by others. What did she lose, what did she gain? Perhaps she would be extremely ashamed and unwilling to look back.
She had wholeheartedly hoped that the man who abandoned her would be moved or threatened by her and change his mind. However, she suddenly realized that from the very beginning, there was no longer any leeway. She finally understood.
However, she was only able to stay in this world because of her unwillingness and unwillingness towards Pei Ming. Now that she understood, there was no longer any need to stay. Thinking about it, it was quite meaningless.
The Rain Master sat down in his original spot, as if he wanted to deal with the aftermath. After all, aside from her, that was the only person in the world from the Rain Master Country. Xie Lian didn't want to disturb him, so he left.
·
After he left, he saw Pei Su and Ban Yue eating the fruits grown in the Rain Master Village. Xie Lian also went over and picked one up. He was prepared to squat together with them and eat. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt something and abruptly turned his head to look. Not far away, in the grass that was half the height of a person, something flashed past.
Xie Lian immediately threw the fruit away and said, "Watch this place!" Then, he ran over.
The thing in the grass realized that he had discovered it and ran even faster. Originally, Xie Lian could have caught up with it in eight steps, but after four steps, he realized who it was. His mind turned at lightning speed and he slowed down.
After the thing had escaped for a distance, he suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked the other's path. He said, "Miss Jian Lan, do you plan to leave without saying goodbye?"
The other party was the sneaky Jian Lan who was hugging the fetus spirit. Startled by Xie Lian's sudden appearance, she exclaimed, "It's you!"
The shining white fetus spirit bared its teeth in her arms, as if it wanted to attack. Jian Lan pressed it down and said, "Are you here to stop me?"
Xie Lian didn't want her to be too vigilant, so he said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to give you something."
As he said this, he handed over an item and said, "Your son's resentment is quite strong and needs to be controlled. Although it is currently being purified, your cultivation is not as strong as it. It is hard to guarantee that no accidents will happen. You will need this item to help you. "
It was a protective talisman that he had made himself. Xie Lian even specially demonstrated how to use it to ensure that there was nothing strange about it. Jian Lan looked at it, and sure enough, her vigilance slightly decreased. After all, this thing was quite useful. After hesitating for a moment, she received it and said, "Many thanks."
Xie Lian said, "No need. You only need to shout 'His Highness the Crown Prince, please protect me' three times when you use it. This way, you can be recorded under my Highness's name. "
"… …"
Jian Lan walked a few steps before pausing. In the end, she couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "You're not going to stop me? Why? "
Xie Lian waited for her to turn her head. Instead of answering, he asked, "Then, Miss Jian Lan, why must you leave? Feng Xin said that he would take care of you two. He will keep his promise. "
Jian Lan's expression changed. In the end, she sighed and said, "I know he will. But forget about it. I don't want to live with him anymore. "
Xie Lian stared blankly for a moment before saying, "Right now, you … … don't like him anymore?"
Jian Lan was probably tired from running. She sat down on the side of the road and said, "It has nothing to do with whether I like him or not. I don't want to force him to keep us by his side. "
Xie Lian also sat down beside her. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Feng Xin must really like you. At that time, he was so badly battered, but he still wasn't willing to give up on you. "
Hearing this, Jian Lan seemed to remember something from a long time ago. She smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember. At that time, he was really stupid. He spent a long time saving money. After saving enough money to buy me for one night, he moved a stool to me and sat there for the whole night. He didn't do anything but chat with me. Everyone treated him as a joke. What a joke! "
Xie Lian also smiled and said, "You see, I told you that he really liked you."
Jian Lan's smile disappeared and she said, "What you're talking about is all in the past. Liking him once doesn't mean he'll like him forever. I'm not going to be treated with charity and then despised by others. "
Xie Lian said, "Why would he despise you two? You still don't know what kind of person Feng Xin is? "
Jian Lan said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't eat the food of the common people. Of course, your thinking is too simple. He won't do it now, and he won't do it on the surface. However, after a long time, I can't say for sure. If I wanted to find him, I would've gone looking for him a long time ago. Nan Yang Palace Hall isn't that rare. There were times when they were everywhere, but I didn't want to.
"He has ascended, he has the ability, he has the glory, but we're already ghosts. Why would I want to find him? A Heavenly Official bringing along two ghosts, isn't this making things difficult for him?
"When I looked the most beautiful, I kicked him away. I felt that this was very good, that I could be arrogant. That way, in his heart, I would always look like that, and not like the way I am now, with heavy makeup and fine lines at the corners of my eyes. "
She pulled at her own face and said, "If he really did recognize us, he would look at this face of mine every day. No, I'm still like this. Being held back by us, he would only get more and more tired and tired day by day. One day, he would despise us. Why bother? That would be too sad, wouldn't it? "
As she spoke, the fetus spirit continuously used its wet tongue to lick her face. It gave off a subtle yet disgusting feeling of naughtiness and cuteness. But in the eyes of ordinary people, it was probably only disgusting and unacceptable.
Gladiolus also rubbed his son's bald head and said, "In any case, it's enough that I'm wrong. Who didn't make undying vows and promises when they were young and ignorant? They would always talk about love, love, and forever. However, the longer I stay in this world, the more I understand that something like 'forever' is impossible. It's impossible for me to live forever. It's already good enough to have existed. No one can really do it. I don't believe it. "
She helplessly said, "Feng Xin is a good person. It's just … … too much time has passed. Everything is different now. Forget it. "
Xie Lian silently listened and didn't say anything. In his heart, however, he said, "No."
There was a voice in his heart that said, "'Forever' exists. There are people who can truly do it. I believe it. "
·
In the end, Gladiolus still left with the wrong.
Xie Lian returned to send off the Rain Master who had finished sending off Xuan Ji. Then, he returned to Mount Taicang to tell Feng Xin that Gladiolus had left, but he didn't see him. Just as he was looking for him in the crowd, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Tai Hua, good timing! Are you free? Help me calculate! "
Lang Qianqiu couldn't avoid it in time and shouted from afar, "Don't bring it over. I have something to do. Find someone else!"
Xie Lian sighed. In his heart, he thought it would be better if he tried to calculate it himself. Unexpectedly, just as he took a few steps, he heard a voice behind him, "Your … … Highness … … Crown Prince."
Xie Lian turned around and saw Lang Qianqiu standing behind him. He scratched his cheek and said, "Can we talk in private?"
Xie Lian replied, "Sure."
And so, he and Lang Qianqiu walked together to the outside of the shabby tent hall. As they walked, Xie Lian asked, "How's Gu Zi? Is he alright? "
Lang Qianqiu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if he's alright or not. This child keeps asking me for his father. He's quite pitiful, so I could only … … store away a bit of Qing Gui's soul and place it in a lamp. Now, he carries that lamp and runs in and out in front of me every day, asking me how to make the soul in the lamp grow up! I really … … "
Seeing Lang Qianqiu's gloomy face, Xie Lian could understand his experience. He really didn't understand why someone like him, whose entire family had been killed by Qi Rong, would still do such a thing. Xie Lian subconsciously wanted to pat his shoulder, but when he thought about what he had done in Yong 'an, he held back and warmly said, "You've worked hard. Then, why did you come looking for me today? "
After hesitating for a moment, Lang Qianqiu reached into his bosom and took out an item. Handing it to Xie Lian, he said, "This."
When he saw that item, Xie Lian's breathing slightly froze.
It was a small dark red coral pearl that flowed with brilliance.
His voice trembled as he said, "This is … …?!"
Lang Qianqiu said, "This coral pearl is a secret treasure left behind by the founding ancestor of Yong 'an."
Hearing this, Xie Lian finally reacted. This wasn't the pearl that Hua Cheng had dropped at the end of his hair, but rather the one he had given to Lang Ying.
It wasn't from Hua Cheng. Xie Lian's heart was at a loss, but he still took the pearl. At this time, Lang Qianqiu said, "The founding ancestor once said that the person who gave him this red coral pearl was his benefactor and had helped him before. He was a very good person. "
"… …"
Lang Qianqiu continued, "But he still did something that caused that person to lose everything. The founding ancestor said that he didn't regret doing that thing, so he had to do it. But towards that person, when he thought about it later, he still felt a little sorry. "
"… …"
Xie Lian asked, "And then?"
Lang Qianqiu said, "And then, that day in Immortal Capital, I carefully looked at the pearl at the end of the Blood Rain Tanhua's hair. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like the pearl that my royal father had left for me. Later, I heard from General Xuan Zhen and the others that this pearl was originally a pair and was yours. So, I wanted to ask if this belongs to you. "
After a while, Xie Lian slowly nodded and said, "It's mine. It's a pair of pearls that my royal father and mother gave me when I was young. "
Lang Qianqiu scratched his head and said, "Then … … I'll return it to you."
He still didn't know how to address Xie Lian, so he returned the pearl. After hesitating for a while, he silently walked away. Xie Lian stood where he was, holding the red coral pearl in his palm.
It had been more than eight hundred years. After going around in circles, the other pair of deep red coral pearl earrings had also returned to his hand. It was his, it was still his.
It was just that, the other pearl should have been there at this time. It could have been a pair.
