At the same time, in the Dreamy Smoky House in Sky Dragon City.
"Princess, there is a piece of news that may interest you. That girl called Oculum appeared in the east of the city an hour ago and went straight to the direction of the Demon Sealing Tower. She was seen by our people by chance and has not returned yet. Although it is very dark, we can confirm that it is her. Moreover, we have secretly found out that Ye Wuchen has not come out since she left. "Shui Ling 'er reported in front of Shui Mengchan.
"Oh? Ling 'er, what do you mean? "
Shui Ling 'er replied, "Ye Wuchen does not have the power to protect himself at the moment, so he always brings Oculum with him. There must be something strange about tonight's matter. Long Yin hates Ye Wuchen to the bone, but he doesn't dare to make a move only because he is afraid of Oculum. If he knows about this, he will definitely send people to assassinate him immediately. Princess, should we immediately send people to protect the surroundings? "
"Protect? Why should we protect? "Hearing this, Shui Mengchan's eyes flashed and she asked back.
"After all, Ye Wuchen has the secret of the Sword Of Emperor Nan in his hands. If I am really unfortunate enough to guess correctly …" Shui Ling 'er noticed that there was something wrong with Shui Mengchan's voice and said hesitantly.
Shui Mengchan stood up and thought quietly for a moment. Then she said softly, "There is no need for protection. If the girl of Tian Fa is really not by Ye Wuchen's side now, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us?"
Hearing this, Shui Ling 'er was startled. After a moment, she came back to her senses and asked in surprise, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"I understand what Princess means, and I also agree with Princess." An old voice came from behind the screen on their right side. She continued, "Three years ago, because of a moment of hesitation, we agreed to the conditions proposed by Ye Wuchen, so we missed three years. Now that the Northern Emperor's Bow has appeared, we can't delay any longer. Ye Wuchen is too cunning, we have to use some forceful methods. Previously, we didn't dare to make a move because of the Maiden of Heavenly Punishment. Now, it's indeed a great opportunity for us. "
"Not bad." Shui Mengchan nodded slightly and said, "When I returned to the sect last time, my father asked me to find the right time to capture Ye Wuchen without angering the Lady of Tian Fa. Water Emissary, Ling 'er, this matter shouldn't be delayed, so you two should do it. He immediately went to bring Ye Wuchen back. However, with Ye Wuchen's shrewdness, he might have a backup plan. If things didn't work out, he had to return immediately. If we miss this chance, there will be a next time. Either we capture him, or we retreat unscathed. We can't let him know that it's us. Otherwise, if he finds out about our intentions, it will be difficult for us to do it again. "
"Yes." Although Shui Ling 'er felt that something was wrong, she didn't hesitate. She quickly put on the night clothes and left with the Water Messenger, sneaking into the night at the fastest speed.
It was a dark and windy night. Two figures completely integrated with the night, one in front and one behind, were running on the streets of Sky Dragon City, heading straight for the Yeh family. It didn't take long for them to get close to the gate of the Yeh family.
Ye Wuchen had just fallen asleep. In his sleep, he suddenly felt something soft blocking his mouth and nose, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe. He opened his eyes. In his sleepy state, he saw two masked men in black. After a while of confusion, he subconsciously wanted to struggle and shout, but his body was firmly pressed down and he couldn't move, nor could he make a sound.
Sure enough, the Lady of Heavenly Punishment was not there. They didn't spend much effort to avoid the heavy defense of the Yeh family and capture the weak and powerless Ye Wuchen. However, what was strange was that not only was the Lady of Heavenly Punishment not there, but even the white-haired girl was also not there. A little doubt flashed in the hearts of Shui Ling 'er and the Water Messenger at the same time, but in this situation, they didn't have time to think about it. They nodded to each other. The Water Messenger raised her right hand, and a faint blue light appeared in her palm. Suddenly, she pressed it on the back of Ye Wuchen's head. Suddenly, Ye Wuchen's eyelids drooped and he fell asleep.
They didn't dare to hurt Ye Wuchen, so they used the Water Jade Technique to block his consciousness and let him fall into a short sleep. Then they took him and quietly left without disturbing anyone.
Shui Ling 'er and the Water Messenger were very fast, and it only took them less than a quarter of an hour to get there. When they brought Ye Wuchen to Shui Mengchan, Ye Wuchen was still unconscious. They put Ye Wuchen down and quietly waited for Shui Mengchan to come down.
Shui Mengchan's eyebrows slightly bent. After thinking for a while, she said, "Water Messenger, you and Lei Yun immediately take him back to the sect and hand him over to my father. Then we leave immediately. If we delay for too long and the Lady of Heavenly Punishment finds out, our lives will be in danger."
"Ah? This … "Shui Ling 'er was startled. She stammered," But, if he falls into the hands of the Sovereign, I'm afraid … "
The people of Nanhuangzong all knew that the Sovereign was serious in speech and manner. Not only was his cultivation extremely high, but he was also decisive and ruthless. If Ye Wuchen fell into his hands and was forced to tell him the whereabouts of the Sword Of Emperor Nan, he would definitely be killed because he knew the whereabouts of Nanhuangzong. If he couldn't get the information out of him, the Sovereign would lose his patience. After losing his patience, he would even vent his anger on his family … The consequences would be unimaginable.
She was inexplicably scared and worried.
"The Princess is right." The Water Messenger said, "This man is too cunning. It's hard for us to get any information out of him, and we can't really take his life. If we delay for too long, the Lady of Heavenly Punishment will come. We will be in danger. It's better to let the Sovereign deal with him. "
"But …" Shui Ling 'er was even more flustered. She still wanted to say something.
"Ling 'er." Shui Mengchan observed Shui Ling 'er's expression. She sighed in her heart and said, "Do you … like him?"
Shui Ling 'er was startled. She immediately denied in a panic, "No, no, Princess, how could I … I've never had any contact with him, and I've never talked to him. How could I like him?"
The Water Messenger was also puzzled, "Princess, this …?"
Shui Mengchan's beautiful eyes looked around. She glanced at Shui Ling 'er, who rarely showed a flustered expression. She was even more sure of her guess. Instead of blaming Shui Ling, she showed a gentle and loving expression and said in a soft voice, "Ling' er, you grew up with me. It's been more than ten years. We're master and servant, and we're like sisters. You're the person I know and trust the most. Is there anything that can't be said between us? "
"But I really didn't." Shui Ling 'er shook her head. Her flustered expression slowly began to calm down. Her shrewdness was incomparable to that of ordinary women. She knew that the more flustered she was in this situation, the more suspicious it would be. She felt that she was really wronged. She had been by Shui Mengchan's side since she was a child. A long time ago, she felt that it was enough for her to stay by Shui Mengchan's side for a lifetime. Before leaving Shui Mengchan's side, she had never thought about her marriage. How could she fall in love with someone who could be said to be their enemy?
Shui Mengchan approached her and said softly, "Ling 'er, you've been with me for so long. It can be said that in this world, I'm the person who knows you the best. All these years, you've done your best for me. You've never had any disloyalty. You've never even thought about your future happiness … "
"Princess, it's my blessing to be with you. I …"
"For someone like you, you have no chance to feel the love between a man and a woman. Even if you fall in love with him, you won't know it. Based on my understanding of you, you should have really fallen in love with him. Although you've only seen him a few times, you've been in contact with him almost every day. Although he's the son of an important minister of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, he's far from being comparable to the children of ordinary officials. Whether it's his appearance, temperament, or outstanding intelligence, he always makes us feel powerless. In terms of cultivation, even the War God was killed by him. For such a strange man, no matter which woman falls in love with him, it won't be strange at all. Moreover, you've rarely come in contact with this man. For so long, you've been paying attention to everything about him. Hearing news about him, it's natural that you'll gradually fall in love with him. Ling 'er, you don't need to feel that this is a sin. "Shui Mengchan said slowly.
"Princess, I …" Shui Ling 'er was bewildered by Shui Mengchan's words. She didn't deny it anymore, but followed Shui Mengchan's words and asked herself silently.
"Ling 'er, let me ask you. Since Ye Wuchen returned to the Yeh family, who did you pay the most attention to?" Shui Mengchan sighed in her heart and asked softly.
"It's … Ye Wuchen." Shui Ling 'er paused for a moment and answered hesitantly. This was a fact that she couldn't deny. During this period of time, she had been paying attention to everything about Ye Wuchen. This wasn't an order from Shui Mengchan. Now that she thought about it, it was more like a subconscious action.
"Then, when you have nothing to do or sleep late at night, who is the person that you often think about?" Shui Mengchan continued to ask.
"It's …" A person's shadow appeared in front of Shui Ling 'er. Her heart trembled, but she couldn't say it anymore.
"It's also him, right?"
"I …" Shui Ling 'er's consciousness was hazy. This was also a fact that she couldn't deny. Ye Wuchen's figure would often appear in her mind. She would think about how he looked, how calm and composed he was in front of Shui Mengchan, and how he smiled like the wind, as well as the various rumors about him. Before this, she didn't know what it meant and never cared about it. But now, under the guidance of Shui Mengchan's words, she began to feel a little flustered.
Could this be the love between a man and a woman that the princess mentioned? Could it be that I really …
"Ling 'er," Shui Mengchan no longer had any doubts. She said lovingly, "In the past, when you did things, you never had too many scruples. You also didn't have any hesitation or disobedience to my orders. But today, because of Ye Wuchen, you interceded for him on a matter related to our safety … I remember, this is also the first time you interceded for a person. "
Shui Ling 'er's heart shook again. She knelt down in front of Shui Mengchan and said anxiously, "Princess, I don't know … I know I was wrong. I will definitely be quiet and guard my heart from now on. I don't dare to have any distracting thoughts anymore."
Shui Mengchan shook her head lightly, "Ling 'er, as I said, this is only human nature. Don't treat it as a sin. I was too selfish. I kept you by my side all the time but neglected the important matter of your life. You are not young anymore. The girls of your age have already married and had children … "
