The structure of the Lotus Flower Mountain was extremely unique. Long ago, when the founder of the Lotus Flower Constellation established the sect, there was already a man-made plank road. Later generations used this as a foundation and built bridges, forming the current appearance of the Lotus Flower Mountain.
These man-made plank paths led down layer by layer, all the way to the depths of the earth.
The disciples of the Lotus Constellation found an extremely cold spring deep underground. Unfortunately, their techniques were not compatible with it, so the spring was left aside for a long time. Until a few hundred years ago, a head disciple made a huge mistake. At that time, the patriarch flew into a rage and built a Cold Moon Palace above the frozen spring to imprison that head disciple.
Because of the frozen spring, even though it was summer, the air in the Cold Moon Palace was still as cold as ice blades. Those who were imprisoned here had an apt description — banished to the Cold Palace.
For hundreds of years, those who were banished to the Cold Palace were all head disciples who could not break through the barrier of love. They were the next patriarch of the Lotus Constellation. If they could not break through the barrier of love, they would not be able to cultivate the 《Zither Heart Triad》, and they would not have enough strength to control the Lotus Constellation.
Wu Siyou was once the most dazzling star of the Lotus Constellation. Almost everyone thought that she would definitely become the patriarch, including herself.
The cold moon was reflected in the ice pond, and the grey jade pillars made it even more desolate.
Beside the pond, Gu Caiwei rested her head on Wu Siyou's thighs. Her face was buried in her stomach. Every time she encountered something that did not go her way, she would run to the Cold Moon Palace.
"Senior Sister, did you not expect this outcome either?"
"I guess so." Wu Siyou raised her head with pain in her eyes. "Back then, I was very passionate about managing the Lotus Constellation. I wanted to wake up the next day and take over …"
The lines of her face were very soft. Even though she had lived in the Cold Palace for a long time and her face and lips were pale, it still could not hide her exquisite beauty. Even though her eyes were filled with pain, she had a calmness that said, "Since I am here, I will take things as they come."
This was a woman with a strong aura, but she did not show it.
"Senior Sister, do you regret it now?" Gu Caiwei asked.
"You are like the bright moon, and I am like the fog. The fog follows the moon and hides the dew in the sky." Wu Siyou's lips curled into a smile. "The Cold Moon Palace is only deserted. What's so good about it? Of course I regret it. "
Gu Caiwei turned his head and revealed his little face to look at Wu Siyou, but he couldn't see through him. She turned back. The Cold Moon Palace was cold everywhere. Only Senior Sister's stomach was warm and comfortable.
Wu Siyou gently stroked her hair and said, "Weiwei, you've been here for a few days. It's very strange. You've always been in a hurry. What happened this time that you're stumped?"
"It's all because of that Emperor Han," Gu Caiwei said.
"Again?" Wu Siyou was slightly surprised. Then, he chuckled and said, "A fair and graceful lady is a gentleman's desire. This was a matter of course. I've seen Emperor Han before. At that time, he was very young, but his strength was not inferior to mine. His character and appearance were also very good. What exactly do you not like about him? "
"He's like a hero. No matter when he returns, he's confident. He's powerful, but not arrogant. He respects his elders. He's serious when he needs to be, humorous when he needs to be. He's handsome and kind. He fits all the expectations I have for my husband," Gu Caiwei said.
"Then why didn't you accept him?" Wu Siyou asked curiously.
Gu Caiwei suddenly turned over and sat up. She stared at the cold pond water in a daze. After a while, she said, "When he looked at me, although I could see his feelings, and in the eyes of others, they were very deep, I was also touched, but …"
"But?" Wu Siyou said.
"I keep having the illusion that I'm surrounded by darkness …" Gu Caiwei subconsciously hugged her knees. "He's too perfect. He's so perfect that he doesn't seem like a human."
"Doesn't seem like a human? Is he a monster?" Wu Siyou couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Caiwei was just about to speak when a very young female disciple rushed in from outside. She panted and said, "Bad news, Senior Sister Caiwei. The Sect Master wants to execute Senior Sister Ziqi …"
"What did you say?" Gu Caiwei suddenly looked up.
… …
It shouldn't be a problem to kill a Cangjian Peak disciple with one hundred percent of his power! As long as he comes out, I'll make my move. I won't give him a chance to speak.
As for the crime … Yes, even if he's here to propose marriage, running into Weiwei's room is the behavior of a lecher. It's absolutely unforgivable.
Xiao Yuxin's mind raced as she made a plan. She secretly mobilized her True Yuan and waited for Yan Li to come out to deliver a fatal blow.
However, when the female disciple ran in alone, another person ran out and reported, "Sect Master, Senior Sister Caiwei isn't here."
"Not here?" Xiao Yuyan raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Xiao Yuxin and Liu Yuezhen. Her beautiful eyes flickered.
Not here?
Xiao Yuxin secretly glanced at Liu Yuezhen. She already knew that Gu Caiwei wasn't here, but how could Yan Li not be here? The latter shook her head blankly, indicating that she also didn't know anything.
Could it be that he left early? He shouldn't have gone far.
Xiao Yuxin's heart calmed down. She just needed to find him and admit to her sister that she was here to propose marriage. Then, everything would be fine.
"How could she not be here?" Xiao Yuyan's gaze gradually turned severe as she stared at Liu Yuezhen, "It seems that someone didn't want the marriage to go smoothly, so they secretly informed her, right?"
Liu Yuezhen had just recovered from the shock with great difficulty. She was once again scared out of her wits by Xiao Yuyan's piercing gaze. She unconsciously knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Disciple, disciple doesn't know anything …"
Xiao Yuxin smiled bitterly in her heart. Isn't this a confession?
Xiao Yuyan was so angry that she laughed, "Liu Yuezhen, you're just a lowly girl that I picked out from among the refugees. I always thought that you wouldn't have the guts to deceive me. But now it seems that I was wrong. Not only your guts, even your conscience has long since deteriorated after all these years of pampered life!"
Liu Yuezhen's whole body trembled. She shook her head repeatedly as her eyes turned red. Then, she prostrated on the ground and cried, "Yes, it was Junior Sister Ziqi who said it …" After saying this, her mouth was filled with bitterness.
Xiao Yuxin secretly sighed. She knew in her heart that she was also forced to a point where she had no other choice.
"Good!" Xiao Yuyan laughed harshly. Her face was ruthless, "Go, bring that traitor here. I want to execute her on the spot!"
Xiao Yuxin took advantage of the time when the female disciple was receiving her orders to pull Liu Yuezhen out of the garden. She lowered her voice and said, "Now, we can only find that Yan Li. Ziqi might have a chance to live."
"But, but …"
"No buts!" Xiao Yuxin's eyes were calm, conveying a power that made people feel at ease. "I have a way to find him. You come with me and explain the whole story to him. We must make him admit that he is here to propose."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and formed an incantation. A divine light flashed in the air and a light red umbrella shot out. It split into ten parts in the air and flew in different directions.
"I found him. Follow me."
Liu Yuezhen felt her body involuntarily soar into the air. She flew forward quickly. After a few ups and downs, she arrived at a pavilion not far away. Her eyes could see and she saw Yan Li who was walking towards her. It was obvious that he had lost his way. She couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Young Master Yan, why did you come here?"
Yan Li stopped in his tracks. The two people in front of him came so suddenly that he didn't notice them at all. He was quite surprised by the beautiful woman's movement technique. He cupped his fist and said, "Are you Senior Xiao who is known as the Illusionary Butterfly Fairy?"
Xiao Yuxin was also surprised. Her nickname came from her movement technique. However, she hadn't roamed the Jianghu for a long time. She thought that people had long forgotten about her. She didn't expect that this young man actually knew about her. However, she didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. She only said, "I am Xiao Yuxin, the Lotus Seat's Disciplinary Elder. I have something that I must ask of you."
"Please speak." Yan Li said.
Xiao Yuxin glanced at Liu Yuezhen.
Liu Yuezhen understood and told him everything. When she was done, she said with tears in her eyes, "Young Master Yan, I know that you must be resentful towards Junior Sister Zi Qi for using you. However, her thoughts are pure and she doesn't have any schemes. She only thought that with you in Weiwei's room, she would be able to drive Emperor Han away. She didn't expect that the situation would change again and again. Now, she can't even keep her life. I beg of you …"
She sobbed and knelt on the ground, "I beg you to save Zi Qi …"
Yan Li's expression didn't change after he heard her. He shook his head and said, "I can't save her."
"No, how can that be …" Liu Yuezhen thought that Yan Li wouldn't reject her. After all, it was just admitting to asking for her hand in marriage. Was it that difficult?
"Yan Li, are you worried that my sister will make things difficult for you?" Xiao Yuxin said gently, "Don't worry. As long as you admit that you are here to ask for her hand in marriage, I can guarantee that you will be safe and sound."
However, Yan Li still shook his head and said, "I can't save her and I'm not here to ask for her hand in marriage. Miss Yuezhen, please return Fu 'er to me. I don't have much time and I still have many things to do. "
"Yan Li, this isn't up to you!" Xiao Yuxin's expression turned cold.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Yan Li raised his brows.
"Even if I have to tie you up, this seat will still tie you up and bring you over!" Xiao Yuxin reached out and caught the falling red umbrella. With a spin of the umbrella, red powder scattered and transformed into red butterflies. She borrowed the power of these fluttering butterflies and arrived at Yan Li's side in the blink of an eye.
"Forcing a duck onto a perch? Junior won't allow myself to be captured without putting up a fight! " Yan Li was standing on a plank road. Beyond the guardrail was the ground several hundred meters above him. Without warning, he jumped over the guardrail and avoided Xiao Yuxin's binding ribbon.
Naturally, he didn't jump to the ground to escape. Like a monkey, his left hand grabbed the base of the guardrail and swung to the other side, behind Xiao Yuxin.
During this process, the Vault Sheath had already accumulated six layers. He drew his sword and slashed.
Xiao Yuxin's beautiful eyes flashed. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the umbrella handle with her soft hand. Then, she pulled out the umbrella's blade and executed a spinning slash.
The violent collision of energies sent Yan Li flying. He landed on the mountain wall and took advantage of the momentum to escape.
"Stop him!"
"Young Master Yan, I'm sorry!" Liu Yuezhen gritted her teeth and shot out a jade belt from her sleeve to block Yan Li's path. She soared into the air and stepped on the jade belt. She released even more jade belts in an attempt to entangle Yan Li.
Yan Li dodged sideways, his eyes cold. "Miss Yuezhen, don't force me to kill!"
