Ling Xiao Secret Land.
Du Ruhui and Ye Lingxiao stepped on the clouds, walked through a long corridor, and stopped in front of a group of exquisite buildings.
The plaque said, "Cloud Pavilion."
The name of the pavilion was because "the sea of clouds stops here, as if in a beautiful dream."
So it was also known as "Dream."
The message was to let the guest have a beautiful dream here and to urge them to stay. Just like the two words "Cloud Pavilion", they also had the meaning of parting.
Du Ruhui sighed in his heart.
Because this was where Ling Xiao Pavilion entertained guests.
It was not rude to receive him here, but it was unfamiliar.
Many years ago, when he came to Ling Xiao Secret Land, it was impossible to live here.
Not only had time passed, but many things had also changed.
However, he had long been aware of this fact.
But … in this day and age, how could he dream?
In the Cloud Pavilion, the two sat down, and a disciple served them tea.
"After a long time, this place is still so beautiful." Du Ruhui looked at the clouds outside the window, and his emotions were not obvious. He praised, "The so-called fairyland in the Late Ancient Era is just like this."
"Is that so?" Ye Lingxiao said casually.
He invited Du Ruhui into Ling Xiao Pavilion, but he did not really want to talk about the old days. He just wanted to express that Ling Xiao Pavilion always maintained a neutral position, and Yun Country had no intention of taking the initiative to be enemies with anyone or any force.
He believed that Du Ruhui was also very clear about this and would not mind.
Du Ruhui smiled, and his fingers gently wiped the edge of the teacup, and his eyes were filled with nostalgia.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the murderer of Dong A, and there was indeed no need to think about it. With Zhuang Gaoxian personally taking action, there was absolutely no possibility of failure.
"With your talent, I think you will soon be able to recreate the glory of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces in the Late Ancient Era."
He said tentatively, "I am looking forward to that day."
Ye Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, "Your emperor is wise and his ministers are virtuous. In the near future, you will probably be able to create the achievements of Emperor Yong Ming. "
Du Ruhui was speechless for a moment, and he said slowly, "I did not mean that."
The Nine Great Immortal Palaces were famous for a time, but in the end, they were defeated one by one. Du Ruhui's wish was not auspicious.
Ye Lingxiao's response was even sharper.
By mentioning Emperor Yongming, he was hinting that the Zhuang Kingdom had obtained the country unjustly and that Zhuang Taizu, Zhuang Chengqian, was a traitor to the Yong Kingdom. Everyone knew that Emperor Yong Ming, Han Zhou, had created the most prosperous era of the Yong Kingdom. However, he perished at the peak of his power, and his hegemony came to an end.
Ye Lingxiao naturally knew that Du Ruhui had no intention of cursing him. He was only probing Chi Yunshan's secret. Perhaps he had guessed something and suspected that High Heaven Pavilion had obtained the complete inheritance of Cloud Top Immortal Palace.
But he pretended not to understand.
"What do you mean? Who can guess what Du Ruhui is thinking? Who can be sure what Du Ruhui is thinking? "
Ye Lingxiao sipped a mouthful of fragrant tea and said unhurriedly, "The last time you came to the Yun Nation, I thought you were just taking a stroll. You're shrouding me in clouds and mist, making me so confused! I didn't expect that it would be such a big deal in the end. It really shocked the world. "
He was mocking Du Ruhui for putting on an act last time. On the surface, he was escorting Jiang Wang back to High Heaven Pavilion to determine whether Jiang Wang's words were true or false. In reality, he was testing Ye Lingxiao's attitude and making final preparations for Zhuang Yong's national war.
He was mocking Du Ruhui for his deep thoughts.
Du Ruhui smiled bitterly. "The world's tides are intense. The Zhuang Kingdom has always been weak. We have no choice but to steer the boat carefully. Moreover, High Heaven Pavilion has always been neutral. Since ancient times, it was best for the neutral to not get involved, not get involved, and not know. "
Not get involved, not get involved, and not know — these were the three progressive requirements.
Not get involved in the situation, not get involved in karma, and it was best to not know anything about the situation. Only then could one be detached and truly neutral.
Ye Lingxiao naturally disagreed with this point of view. The Yun Nation could "not get involved, not get involved," but they couldn't "not know."
Crippling one's martial arts and turning oneself blind, the only result was being trampled on by others.
What he was especially dissatisfied with was that Du Ruhui always put himself in the position of being weak and suffering, as if he was born with a wounded face. No matter what he did, he was forced to do. Everyone in the world was hurting and bullying him.
"Prime Minister Du." Ye Lingxiao's voice became heavier. "The place you pointed out should be in the Zhuang Kingdom's imperial court."
The prime minister of the Zhuang Kingdom had already crossed the line by pointing out the affairs of High Heaven Pavilion.
Du Ruhui didn't argue. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "I misspoke. Please forgive me, Pavilion Master Ye. "
At this moment, a pleasant but anxious voice sounded from afar.
"Father, you're back!"
A peerlessly beautiful woman was holding the hand of a little girl who looked like she was carved from jade as they landed in the pavilion.
Seeing the extremely magnanimous Du Ruhui, Ye Qingyu gently bowed. Then, she turned to look at her father. "Father?"
She was naturally anxious to hear news about Jiang Wang.
Several days had passed since Jiang Wang left without saying goodbye on New Year's Eve.
There had been no news for so many days.
Even if Jiang Wang wanted to return to Qi, it was impossible for him not to tell her. It was even more impossible for him not to tell her. He must have been held back by something, or even … had an accident.
Therefore, she begged Ye Lingxiao to come out and look for him. After Ye Lingxiao returned, she immediately came to find him.
Ye Lingxiao glanced at her and said softly, "Sit."
He only said this one word, indicating that it was inconvenient to talk about Jiang Wang at this moment.
Ye Qingyu restrained herself and squeezed Jiang Anan's little hand at the same time.
Jiang Anan was very sensible. Although she missed her brother, she didn't make a fuss. She just followed Ye Qingyu silently. Her beautiful big eyes were full of tears, but she didn't make a sound.
"Qingyu has also grown up. She looks like someone from a painting, floating like an immortal. She really has the charm of your daughter. "
Of course, Du Ruhui knew that the woman in front of him was Ye Lingxiao's beloved daughter, Ye Qingyu.
However, he knew Ye Lingxiao's personality. When it came to Ye Qingyu's mother, he was very easily jealous. Therefore, after a few words of praise, his gaze turned and landed on the little girl. "Who is this little girl?"
"She's called Jiang Anan. She's my new direct disciple. She just opened her meridians," Ye Lingxiao said.
Du Ruhui still looked at Jiang Anan with a kind expression. "Little girl, you seem very sad. Can you tell me why? Maybe I can help you. "
Jiang Anan looked at him and didn't say anything. She just hid behind Ye Qingyu. She had always been shy with strangers, even if this old man looked very kind.
Ye Lingxiao smiled. "Anan is so smart. We have to be vigilant against bad people."
Jiang Anan and the young man he saw in the Qichang Mountains had some connection between their eyes. Obviously, Du Ruhui had noticed something.
However, Ye Lingxiao didn't stop Ye Qingyu from bringing Jiang Anan over from the beginning. Naturally, he had his reasons.
He wanted Du Ruhui to see it. At the same time, he wanted to tell Du Ruhui that Jiang Anan was the direct disciple of the Lingxiao Cabinet. The Lingxiao Cabinet would undoubtedly stand behind Jiang Anan.
He didn't care about Jiang Wang, but Jiang Anan, Zhuang Gaoxian, and Du Ruhui … must be alert!
Allowing Zhuang Gaoxian to go after Jiang Wang was him giving face to the Zhuang Kingdom's emperor and officials. Now that Jiang Anan was safe and sound, the Zhuang Kingdom's emperor and officials had to give him face.
With Du Ruhui's intelligence, of course, he understood the meaning behind the words.
He just put down his teacup and smiled gently. "Come on a whim and leave when you're done. Today's meeting is over. I won't disturb you any longer. "
The undercurrents under the calm surface were often more dangerous.
Ye Lingxiao only said —
"The journey is long, please take your time!"
