Ximen Qing was a little confused, so he could only smile and say, "My wife and I thank Ye Gongzi for his praise, but I feel that Ye Gongzi and this fairy are the real immortal couple, a perfect match. Oh, that's right … "He didn't give Ye Wuchen and Meng Zhi a chance to refute and said to Pan Jinlian," Lian 'er, this is the Heavenly Dragon City's Ye Gongzi that your husband often mentioned to you. "
Pan Jinlian was startled at first, but she immediately understood. She stepped forward and bowed slightly, "This servant greets Ye Gongzi."
"That's right, Lian 'er, Ye Gongzi needs to go on a long journey. Ask Xiao Si to bring my carriage here …"
"There is no need for the carriage." Ye Wuchen interrupted Ximen Qing, "There are many forests along the way. A carriage will not only be eye-catching, but it will also be difficult to travel. Her legs are more flexible. She only needs a horse to carry her. "
"Hehe, good, Ye Gongzi is really free and easy. Lian 'er, tell Xiao Si to bring over the best horse in the manor, Qian Li Xiao Xue. "Ximen Qing ordered without hesitation.
Pan Jinlian answered and left. Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "Wuchen thanks Brother Ximen in advance."
"Ye Gongzi, what are you saying? You and I feel like old friends at first sight, and Ye Gongzi is the person I want to make friends with the most in my life. I, Ximen Qing, am more than happy to be able to help Ye Gongzi. I only hope that Ye Gongzi can come to my Ximen Clan on his way back, so that I can show my sincerity. "
The two of them didn't mention the Thousand Illusion Formation again, as if they had completely forgotten about it. Very soon, a group of snow-white horses without a single blemish were brought out. Ye Wuchen helped Meng Zhi onto the horses, and after asking Ximen Qing for directions, he bade farewell and left.
Even after the four of them disappeared into the distance, Ximen Qing was still standing there looking in the direction they left. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced with a contemplative expression.
"Husband, who is that Ye Gongzi? Why are you so polite to him? You even gave him the Thousand Li Speck of Snow that you usually don't bear to ride, "Pan Jinlian came to his back and asked in confusion. She had never seen Ximen Qing being so polite to anyone.
Ximen Qing sighed. "There aren't many people in the Skystar Continent who don't know that he's the successor of Sword God Chu Cang Ming. Just this identity alone is not something we can afford to offend. This loss can be considered to be inevitable. In addition, he was the only son of the Yeh family, the most powerful family in the Heavenly Dragon City. I once saw him compete with someone with the surname Lin and thought that his martial skills were only so-so. I didn't expect that … he would actually destroy the Thousand Illusion Array. There must be many shocking things hidden behind this person. If they could become friends with such a person, then they would. Even if they couldn't become friends, they couldn't become enemies. This isn't because our Ximen Clan is cowardly, rather, he truly has a reason to make our Ximen Clan feel apprehensive. "
Pan Jinlian was quite shocked. She asked tentatively, "Then the elders …"
"The Thousand Illusion Array is connected to their auras. Destroying the Thousand Illusion Array is equivalent to injuring all four of them at the same time. I estimate that they won't be able to recover within half a year. In the following period of time, we must strengthen the internal security, but maintain the external security as usual. We can't let anyone see that the Thousand Illusion Array has become a dead array. "
The setting sun, the ancient path, and the four people and one horse respectively drew out different overlapping shadows on the ground.
Meng Zhi sat alone on the horse, listening to Ye Wuchen and Ningxue chat and laugh. When they first met, she would rather no one pay attention to her. Now, she actually felt a trace of indistinct disappointment, a kind of sadness that came from being ignored and ignored.
Because of her foot injury, she could only travel on a horse. This snow-white horse was something Ye Wuchen had specially requested from the Ximen Clan for her. Riding on it, not only did she not feel relieved, she instead felt an inexplicable emptiness. She vaguely felt that it was because some kind of feeling had suddenly disappeared. Where did that feeling come from … She didn't know, and couldn't find it.
"I don't know when I'll have the chance to complete the mission … It's already been so many days," she muttered in her heart as she looked ahead in a daze.
"Dream Fairy, does your foot still hurt?" Ye Wuchen finally spoke to her.
Meng Zhi didn't answer him. Looking ahead, she asked in return, "I didn't think that you, Ye Gongzi, would be so famous that even the young master of the Ximen Clan admires you so much."
Ye Wuchen chuckled, and said dully, "Fairy, do you really think that he admires me as much as he said? In the south of Tenryū Province, other than the Imperial Family, it can be said that MCMAU has withered, while the south is flourishing. The martial arts techniques that I displayed during the Tian Long Imperial Academy's competition probably only attracted their attention. As for the rest … Do you really think that these people from the MCMAU Aristocratic Families would be interested in so-called talent? The southern MCMAU Aristocratic Families have always respected martial arts, and they look down on people who dabble in literature and ink. Ximen Qing's performance is because he doesn't want to make another enemy because of the Thousand Illusion Formation, and he wants to make another friend. That's why he adapted to the situation and shortened the distance between them. "
Meng Zhi: "…"
The corner of Ye Wuchen's mouth curled up. "Fairy, you see things too simply. To put it bluntly, you're too inexperienced. I don't know which idiot sent you out alone. Fortunately, you met us. If it was someone bad … Phew, I'm afraid that they would sell you off and you'd still be counting the money for them. Although that Ximen Qing's name isn't much, he's definitely not a simple person. He's a person who shows different faces when facing different people. Just like in front of me, he more or less knows a bit about my background, so he told me about the Thousand Illusion Formation without any pretense. The Ximen Aristocratic Family is really not simple. "
Meng Zhi snorted lightly, as if she didn't care. She didn't think that the Ximen Aristocratic Family was not simple, nor did she think that the name Ximen Qing was bad. In terms of strength, there was no power in the Tianchen Continent that could compare to the family she was currently in. She looked at Oculum, who was intimately grabbing onto the corner of Ye Wuchen's clothes, and finally asked the question in her heart, "She … Who exactly is she?"
"Who exactly are you?" Ye Wuchen asked with a smile.
Meng Zhi was silent, and her gaze also shifted away.
"Everyone has their own secrets. You're not willing to tell me about your background, so of course I have things that I'm not willing to tell you. However, it's best that you don't ask about this matter … No, it's best that you forget about it completely. "Ye Wuchen's voice was calm, but Meng Zhi could sense a faint warning in it.
"Big brother, this horse is so white, so beautiful." Ningxue, who was in Ye Wuchen's arms, said. She had snow-white hair, snow-white clothes, and snow-white skin. She had an almost instinctive desire for pure white things.
"Then, does Cher want to ride on it?"
"No, big brother's arms are the most comfortable." Ningxue hugged his neck tightly, and moved her body to a more comfortable position. Then, she closed her eyes beautifully.
Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "That's right. For girls, it's best to not ride horses."
"Ah? Why? "Ningxue raised her small face, and asked confusedly.
The corner of Ye Wuchen's mouth curled up, and he said seriously, "Because if a girl rides a horse for a long period of time, her legs will also be separated for a long period of time. As time goes by, when she walks, her legs will not be able to close. Not only will it not look good when she walks, but it will also make people feel … Hmm, like a young married woman, not a young girl."
"Huh?" Many question marks floated over Ningxue's head, and she did not understand the last sentence at all. Meng Zhi subconsciously tightened her legs, gritted her teeth, and turned her face away. However, deep in her heart, she believed Ye Wuchen's words a little more. She felt a little scared, and began to pray that her leg injury would recover soon.
Ye Wuchen saw Meng Zhi's little movements, and he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. In the midst of a dull journey, it was a great pleasure to occasionally tease his little fairy.
"It's okay if Cher doesn't understand now. She will understand when she grows up. Jin Qingcheng should be in front of us. Let's rest here for a while. We should be able to reach there before evening. "
Along the way, although Ye Wuchen and Oculum were walking, their speed was not too slow. In fact, if Ye Wuchen galloped alone, he could reach Flame Dragon City in ten days at most. If he traveled day and night, he could reach there in ten days. However, he did not seem to be in a hurry to reach there, or perhaps he was deliberately delaying.
Right now, they were on a wide road, surrounded by high mounds, and neatly arranged trees grew along the sides of the road. Ye Wuchen hugged Ningxue and sat against a tree. Oculum also sat on him, silently leaning on his shoulder. Meng Zhi also jumped down from the horse lightly, and then sat on the grass. She looked ahead, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Big Brother, I miss Big Sister," Ningxue said in a soft voice as she gently stroked his chest with her small hand.
"Yes, I miss her too." The image of Ye Shuiyao, who was like a goddess in the Luo River, appeared in Ye Wuchen's heart. Suddenly, his heart was stirred.
"Then when can we go back?" Ningxue asked.
Ye Wuchen: "…"
"Big Brother?" Ningxue raised her head and looked at his slightly dazed face.
Ye Wuchen came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "We can go back soon. I can see that Big Sister also likes Cher a lot. "
He closed his eyes, and tried to search for the source of the throbbing in his mind.
What was that chaotic feeling just now? His soul power's premonition had never been wrong. Could it be that … something happened to Big Sister?
"Yes, I've always known … Eh? Big Brother, those two trees are so strange, they seem to be growing together! "Ningxue found something that surprised her, and asked curiously with her eyes blinking.
Following Ningxue's gaze, Ye Wuchen saw that not far away on the right, there were two trees of the same thickness closely connected to each other. This was not a simple close, the branches of the two trees had grown together, and became one, like two interdependent lovers.
"This is called Lian Lizhi." Ye Wuchen was stunned for a while, and then replied.
Lian Lizhi rarely appeared. Ye Wuchen remembered that he had only seen this kind of Lian Lizhi in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Speaking of Lian Lizhi, he couldn't help but think of the meaning it contained.
