"This saying of 'blaming oneself and having high hopes for others' really sounds like what you said." Ji Tiansheng still didn't raise his head.
"I didn't expect you to understand me so well. Could it be that you're already in love with me?" Yan Li sat down in front of the table, rested her chin on her left hand, and looked at her with a smile.
Ji Tiansheng remained unmoved and said, "I am the emperor, and you are a bandit. From now on, we will go our separate ways. You were the one who said that. Why did you come back?"
Yan Li blinked and said, "I remember that you sent someone to invite me back. Did I remember wrongly?"
"I invited you, and you went your way. What does it have to do with me?" Ji Tiansheng said.
Yan Li was at a loss for words. After a while, she said, "You are twisting words!"
"I am twisting words, what are you going to do about it?" Ji Tiansheng slowly raised his head.
"You're not still angry with me, are you?"
"What do you think?"
Yan Li exaggeratedly said, "You were angry for half a year, but I was still safe and sound. It's unbelievable!"
Ji Tiansheng said indifferently, "There's no need to test me. I won't tell you the reason."
Yan Li spread out her hands. "I don't really want to know either."
"You don't come to the temple for nothing."
"I want to leave Yongling for a period of time, and I need your approval."
Ji Tiansheng said with a smile that was not a smile, "I gave an order, but I couldn't stop you. You still need my approval?"
"I won't beat around the bush with you. I obtained a clue to the Icy Soul Dew. "Yan Li said.
Ji Tiansheng's gaze was spirited, as if it had a great penetrating power. "I mobilized a large number of people, but I couldn't find it. How did you find it?"
Yan Li smiled but didn't say anything.
Ji Tiansheng frowned, then calmed down and said, "Can I leave it to you?"
Yan Li said in a deep voice, "With my life on the line!"
Her voice was sonorous and powerful, making Ji Tiansheng involuntarily believe her. She couldn't help but close her eyes. "This isn't like you. But we are ashamed, Little Aunt's fate … "Before he could finish, he stopped.
Yan Li noticed that she was frowning deeply. He didn't know how many things were unsolved in her heart. He felt distressed for no reason. Thinking that she just came back from the battlefield of Rong City a few days ago, his eyes couldn't help but soften. He asked softly, "What happened?"
"It's nothing." Ji Tiansheng waved his hand. "I approve. Little Aunt's fate is in your hands. "
…
Yan Li walked out of the Sacred World Palace with a heavy heart. Compared to the sudden uncontrollable impulse to help her solve her problems, he couldn't understand his own feelings.
He stood on the bridge, listening to the gurgling sound of water. He raised his head and squinted at the sun. Perhaps he could embrace the blazing sun by opening his arms, but he was destined to be reduced to ashes.
He laughed self-deprecatingly, "What qualifications do you have to talk about love?"
He walked around the Martial Arts Practice Field to return to the Academy. At the bottom of the long flight of steps in front of the Academy, there was a horse carriage. The coachman was Lian Hai Changjin.
Yan Li walked over and teased, "Brother Lian Hai, you seem to be in a good mood. If you really like it, I happen to be in need of a full-time coachman."
Lian Hai Changjin smiled bitterly. "Brother Yan, there's nothing I can do. The imperial edict ordered me to escort little Pu Shu back to Youzhou."
"Back to Youzhou?" Yan Li was stunned. "Why would she go back without any reason? And she even asked you to escort her back. Will there be any danger? "
"Not only me, but also the Tiger School of the Guard Department," Lian Hai Changjin said.
"Even the Guard Department is mobilized?" Yan Li was surprised. "Which Tiger School?"
"The son of the commander, Lord Liu Chengfeng." Lian Hai Changjin said, "Ranked ninth on the Heavenly Son Ranking, the same year as Teacher Shen."
"What happened?" Yan Li asked in surprise.
Lian Hai Changjin looked secretive. He shook his head and said nothing.
At that moment, two figures flew down from the stairs. They were the Buddha Prajna Buddha and Xiao Chun.
The Buddha Prajna Buddha carried Xiao Chun and leaped up three to five steps. He quickly arrived beside the carriage and said to Lian Hai Changjin, "Thank you, Young Master Lian Hai." He then boarded the carriage without looking at Yan Li.
"Lord Liu Chengfeng is already waiting outside the city. There's no time to lose. Let's depart immediately." Lian Hai Changjin nodded.
"Wait!" Yan Li called out. "May I ask what happened?"
Xiao Chun poked his head out from the carriage window and shook his head heavily. "Don't ask. Miss is in a bad mood. Young Master Lian Hai, please drive the carriage. "
"Mm." Lian Hai Changjin agreed. He turned to Yan Li and said, "Brother Yan, farewell."
The carriage slowly set off.
Yan Li was full of doubts. He turned and saw Ma Guanshan coming down from the stairs. He went up to him and said, "You should know what happened in Youzhou."
"I do know, but why should I tell you?" Ma Guanshan smiled and said, "Mind your own business first. I don't know where the Icy Soul Dew is."
Yan Li directly walked past him.
"Do you believe it …" Ma Guanshan's voice came from behind.
Yan Li stopped.
"The entire Willow Forest Zen Monastery was wiped out in a single night. This sort of fantastical tale really happened."
…
In the Rainbow Cloud House, there was a huge courtyard that was scattered all over the place, giving off a deep aura.
This was not the only courtyard that belonged to the top courtesan, Yu Youwei. The surrounding courtyards were also restricted areas. So even if Cui Er knelt for a whole day, no one would come to see her make a fool of herself. This was her only comfort.
Her legs had long been numb, but she did not dare to get up.
"Are you still not going to get up?" Yu Youwei came down from the attic. Behind her was another maid. She did not wear a mask and looked very small and graceful. But the light in her eyes was like a sharp killing weapon.
"Cui Er does not dare …" Cui Er whispered.
"Get up. I want you to do something." Yu Youwei walked to the pavilion and sat down. That petite and graceful maid was standing behind her.
Cui Er was startled. She immediately reacted, but her legs were already numb. She tried several times but could not stand up.
"Xiu Xiu, help her," Yu Youwei said to the maid behind her.
Cui Er was shocked. She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but the biting cold wind had already struck her head.
The maid called Xiu Xiu suddenly appeared on top of Cui Er's head. Her slender and long legs were like short whips as they lashed at Cui Er.
Cui Er hurriedly raised her hand to block. The huge force made her groan and became even weaker. But the blood and Qi in her body rushed down, speeding up her blood circulation.
Xiu Xiu's attack was blocked. She circled in the air and landed on the ground. Without stopping, she took a short knife out of nowhere and fiercely stabbed at Cui Er's heart.
Although Cui Er's feet were numb, she had regained feeling. The fluctuation of her Yuan Qi suddenly became violent. Her figure flashed and disappeared.
Before Xiu Xiu could react, the short knife in her hand flew out. Then, she was hit in the lower abdomen. She flew back with a muffled groan. She hit the stone table in the pavilion and rolled to the ground.
Cui Er glanced at her indifferently. She knelt on one knee and said to Yu Youwei, "Miss, please tell me."
Yu Youwei's face slightly rippled with joy. She stood up and walked to the side of Xiu Xiu, who was knocked to the ground and could not move. She stretched out her slender and soft hand and grabbed Xiu Xiu's neck and lifted her up.
Xiu Xiu was a big living person, but to her, it was as weightless as cotton.
"This is a world where losers cannot survive." Yu Youwei said and was about to break Xiu Xiu's neck.
Xiu Xiu's face was full of pain, but she did not dare to use her hands to break it.
"Miss, wait!" Cui Er suddenly shouted.
"Huh?" Yu Youwei turned to look at her. "She wants your life all the time. Why are you pleading for her?"
Cui Er said, "Miss, White Sun Palace is about to open. After Black Mountain was destroyed, our manpower has been stretched. If we lose more people, I'm afraid there will be unforeseen events."
Yu Youwei said softly, "The purpose of you saying this is to protect her, right? Your deep sisterly friendship really moves me. "
Cui Er forced herself to calm down and said, "Miss, it's not what you think. Cui Er promises that after July 15th, I will personally kill her."
Yu Youwei said, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel."
She thought for a moment, then let go of Xiu Xiu and said, "Fine, you are right. There is one more thing I need you to do. "
"Miss, please say it."
"Gu Shiyu also wants the Icy Soul Dew. He is that person's subordinate, so I can't refuse. Go and tell him that on July 15th, I will see him at Lianyun Mountain in Ji Zhou."
…
Qing Zhou was actually not very far from You Zhou. There was only Ji Zhou in between.
Wang Yuanlang, who set off first, arrived at the gate of Xiao City around five o 'clock on this day. Xiao City, which belonged to Ever Peace Xiao Clan, was also the prefecture city of You Zhou. Therefore, You Zhou was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Xia Dynasty, but in reality, it was the Xiao Clan.
This was also one of the reasons why Ji Tiansheng was willing to forgive Qu Youfeng.
Wang Yuanlang suddenly noticed a faint divine light flickering in a withered bamboo forest on the side of the road. His heart moved, and he summoned his deputy general and said, "Duwei, bring people into the city first. I will be there soon."
"Yes." Deputy General Duwei did not suspect anything and immediately left.
Wang Yuanlang saw that there was no one around, so he walked towards the place where the divine light was emitting. Not long after, he saw an old monk covered in wounds sitting on a rock in the distance. The divine light was emitted from his body.
"Who are you?" He carefully approached.
The old monk slowly opened his eyes, and his cracked lips moved.
"Finally … attracted someone … This old monk Fa Xiang …"
Wang Yuanlang was shocked, "You are Zen Master Fa Xiang?"
The old monk said weakly, "Yes … yes …"
"How could this be? Aren't you a great expert on the Asura List? Who could injure you like this?" Wang Yuanlang said in shock.
The old monk moved his lips, "Quickly report … to His Majesty, White Sun … Palace … has been … opened …"
"White Sun Palace?" Wang Yuanlang was even more shocked, "Is it the White Sun Palace that has the Wolf God Pagoda?"
"Yes … yes …"
"Are you alright?" Wang Yuanlang was excited. He knew that this was a great merit. He couldn't wait to return to the city and write a letter to his beloved woman.
The old monk said, "I'm alright …"
Wang Yuanlang nodded. He didn't want to care about his life or death, and immediately walked out of the forest. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and a crazy idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Back then, the Hu Clan placed all the treasures they stole in the Wolf God Pagoda.
Once greed was born, it was like a prairie fire that couldn't be stopped.
A trace of scarlet flashed in his eyes. He suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the old monk, saying, "I'm too anxious. How can I leave the monk here? It's more important to bring you back to the city to treat your injuries!"
Without any explanation, he squatted down and pretended to carry the old monk. However, he secretly took out a short knife from his boots and stabbed it at the old monk.
"You …" The old monk never dreamed that he would attract not a savior, but a greedy star.
After all, the old monk was an expert on the Asura List. Wang Yuanlang didn't dare to be careless. After succeeding, he immediately retreated. However, seeing that the old monk didn't move, he heaved a sigh of relief and sneered, "Don't blame me. When I get the treasures, I'll burn some for you. You can rest in peace."
Crack!
Suddenly, he heard the sound of withered bamboo being stepped on. Wang Yuanlang was shocked and shouted, "Who is it?" He immediately rushed toward the source of the sound.
"Kill, murder!" He saw a man fleeing in panic.
"Trying to escape!" Wang Yuanlang's sinister laughter echoed in the withered bamboo forest.
