Zhan Ruyi continued to sit there quietly, unmoved. He only stared at himself in the mirror, his gaze already slightly tilted.
After noticing this, the two women glanced at each other again. It was said that the Empress had suffered great humiliation at the hands of that person, and had been hung on a flagpole and humiliated. It seemed that such a great hatred wouldn't be forgotten so easily.
Bai Xuesui continued, "I heard that the thousand-year punishment is coming to an end, and the Imperial Garden has already sent people to welcome him, which means that he might really come back alive. That's the Primordial Wasteland! Most people would be terrified just by hearing about it. He's just a Golden Lotus cultivator, yet he managed to survive after being trapped there for a thousand years. "
Silver Frost: "I have to admit that this guy's life is really tough. I heard that he escaped from death many times, and it's the same this time. I wonder how long he can be arrogant for."
Bai Xue said, "The Black Dragon Division has been stationed here for long enough. When he returns, it's very likely that they'll be transferred away. If he's in the Imperial Garden, he's still under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. Once he's transferred away, he'll completely belong to the Left Supervisor. Even His Majesty has to show some respect to the Left Supervisor. I'm afraid it won't be easy to kill him then. Your Highness, should we find an opportunity to get rid of him? "
The two of them waited for Zhan Ruyi's reply.
Zhan Ruyi's gaze was a little unfocused as he looked at the mirror. Now that he had come this far, the scene of him being hung on a flagpole by a certain someone and taking off his clothes in front of a certain someone was no longer necessary to look at as a great humiliation.
However, there were a few scenes that often appeared in her mind. A certain someone was about to draw his sword at the bottom of the stairs, and a certain someone was escorted away after causing trouble. These scenes left a deep impression on her.
That person had undoubtedly done something stupid, and it was tantamount to destroying his own future. It was an action that could completely cost him his life, so why did he do that?
She clearly remembered that when she was about to step onto the wedding carriage, that person's hand that was holding the sword was almost about to pull it out.
Therefore, she found a very likely answer. Although she had already made up her mind that as long as that person drew his sword for her, she would be willing to die with him regardless of everything. But that person clearly didn't want to implicate her. Therefore, it was not that he was trying to escape. Perhaps he did not want to implicate her. Otherwise, there was no need for him to do such a stupid thing.
But she didn't understand why, when there was a glimmer of hope before, he suddenly changed his mind. Why didn't he leave with her? Could it be that he thought that she was used to wealth and could not live a life of concealment?
There were some things that could not be undone, and it was meaningless for her to pursue the past. However, the contradiction between that person's actions had become a mystery in her heart. Ben was hurt by the man's previous actions. He was determined to live his life without sorrow or hatred, but his heart ached faintly when he was provoked by that person's actions, and it turned into an unforgettable regret.
No matter how calm she was now, every woman had a dream of love in her heart. Even if she did not obtain it, she still hoped to have it. Therefore, there were some things she wanted to know the answer to. Why did he do that back then? Was it because of her?
Zhan Ruyi quietly waited for the two of them to help her tie up her hair. Then, she gently stood up. Silver Frost and White Snow looked at each other in dismay. They did not receive any reply …
Youding Region, Nine Ring Starry Sky Street, Glorious Cloud Pavilion. It was originally a pawnshop, but now it also sold some exquisite jewelry.
The shopkeeper was none other than Yun Zhiqiu. This Glorious Cloud Pavilion did not change its name because of Yun Zhiqiu's arrival. Instead, it happened that the signboard coincided with Yun Zhiqiu's name, so the devil cultivators arranged for her to stay here.
In the shop. A rather imposing man in embroidered robes walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, admiring the various jewelry displayed. When he saw beautiful ones, he nodded slightly to express his appreciation. Behind him was a subordinate.
This man was none other than the newly appointed lieutenant of Youding Region. His name was Chu Zishan, and he was originally a commander of Youding Region. He was transferred over from the Right Military Governor of the Imperial Guards. The reason for his quick promotion was naturally the same as Nie Wuxiao's. In recent years, there were many people like him in the Imperial Guards who were transferred to other places and quickly promoted.
The shop assistants in the shop were naturally courteous to this Lord Domain Chief.
After a while. Yun Zhiqiu's personal maid, Qian'Er, quickly walked out from the back hall under the guidance of a shop assistant. She quickly stepped forward and greeted, "Lord lieutenant."
With his hands behind his back, Chu Zishan gave her a sidelong glance. "Where's Shopkeeper Yun?"
Qian'Er replied with a smile, "What a coincidence. Shopkeeper Yun is out on business, and I don't know when he'll be back. Lord lieutenant, if you have any instructions, I'll definitely pass on the message."
Chu Zishan sneered, "What a coincidence. I've personally come here three times in a row and coincidentally caught Shopkeeper Yun going out. This fourth time, I had no choice but to put in more effort and send someone to make the first stop. It seems like Shopkeeper Yun returned to the shop just two hours ago, and he didn't appear outside. Why did he disappear the moment I arrived?"
"Lord lieutenant must have misunderstood. Shopkeeper Yun really is out on business, and he just didn't go through the main entrance." Qian'Er's smile remained unchanged, but she was secretly complaining.
She also understood that Yun Zhiqiu had no choice but to hide from this person. He had really been pestered by this person, or rather, he had taken a liking to him.
This matter had to start from the day Chu Zishan was promoted to lieutenant. Many people went to congratulate him, and Nine-Ring Star Sky Street was in Chu Zishan's territory. Regardless of the relationship between Sky Street and local forces, this was still the territory of the Yuding Region, and Glorious Cloud Pavilion couldn't just send a servant to be rude, so Yun Zhiqiu personally went to deliver the gift. No one had expected that Chu Zishan would take a liking to Yun Zhiqiu. What happened next was really troublesome, and it wasn't good to offend him, so they could only avoid him.
"Didn't go through the main entrance? I might as well say that I've sent people to keep an eye on Glorious Cloud Pavilion. Which entrance did Shopkeeper Yun go through? Could it be that he secretly dug a tunnel? " Chu Zishan took a step forward, forcing Qian'Er to quickly take a step back. With a cold look in his eyes, he said, "Go back and tell Shopkeeper Yun that this is not the way to treat a guest. It's meaningless for friends to become enemies. Although it's not convenient for me to interfere in Sky Street, if you want Glorious Cloud Pavilion to close down, it's not a problem, unless the people of Glorious Cloud Pavilion hide in Sky Street forever!"
"Lord lieutenant …" Qian'Er still wanted to say something, but Chu Zishan waved his hand and cut her off. "It's not your turn. Gather? Hong Wu? Pu Ping Chi? Cure Qiang Qiang? Suck Qiang Qiang? Chang? — —
Qian'Er's heart was burning with anger, but she had no choice but to retreat silently.
Not long after, Yun Zhiqiu walked over quickly, accompanied by Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and an expressionless old man.
"Oh! Lord lieutenant, why are you here? "Yun Zhiqiu greeted them with a smile from afar.
As soon as he saw Yun Zhiqiu, Chu Zishan's gloomy face immediately brightened. He smiled widely, and his eyes couldn't help but wander over Yun Zhiqiu's curvaceous and graceful figure. Although it was covered by her clothes, it was hard to hide the spring scenery beneath her clothes. Chu Zishan secretly praised her in his heart. What a rare beauty.
From the first time he saw Yun Zhiqiu, his heart had been moved. Although Yun Zhiqiu wasn't a stunning beauty, he could tell at a glance that she was definitely a rare beauty. To an experienced person, some things were hard to conceal. Thus, he had set his sights on her.
His lascivious gaze shifted from Yun Zhiqiu's voluptuous chest to her dignified and charming face. Chu Zishan cupped his fists and said, "Manager Yun, it's not easy for this lieutenant to meet you!"
Yun Zhiqiu couldn't stand this man's undisguised gaze. Back in the small world, she had seen many similar gazes. However, everyone was afraid of her background, so no one dared to be so blatant. After coming to the outside world, no one dared to act like this because of her relationship with 'Niu Youde' at Heaven's Avenue on Heaven's Origin Planet. This time, it was clear that she had run into a difficult one.
If it had been like this in the past, she wouldn't have cared much about it. After all, how could revealing her attire stop others from looking at her? However, things were different now. After all, she was already married, so she had to restrain her revealing attire. She had to at least consider Miao Yi's feelings.
After leaving Heaven's Origin Planet and coming here, she knew that the situation had changed. She had already tried her best not to show her face in public. However, some things couldn't be avoided even if you wanted to. She only went out to deliver a congratulatory gift, and she was already targeted.
She was a little anxious. Miao Yi was about to come out of the Primordial Wastelands. If he found out about this, she didn't know what would happen. She knew her man's personality all too well. If he lost his temper, he might really do anything.
Because of this, she had no choice but to remind Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and the others not to let Miao Yi find out about this. She had to think of a way to deal with this themselves. Otherwise, with Miao Yi's power, which could intimidate the Six Paths even in the Primordial Era, something big would definitely happen.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it were anyone else, but if he really wanted to kill a lieutenant, that would be no small matter. Not to mention, the power behind this lieutenant involved one of the Celestial Emperor's personal guards, the Right Superintendent. The consequences would be hard to predict. Miao Yi was also someone who would disregard the consequences in a fit of rage.
Yun Zhiqiu naturally understood the reproach in Chu Zhaoge's words. With an apologetic expression, she said, "It was my handmaiden who acted on her own. She knew that I was cultivating and didn't want anyone to disturb me. I didn't expect to be rude to you, Lord Lieutenant. Yun Zhiqiu hereby apologizes!"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, even if you don't want to give face to others, you should at least give face to Manager Yun." Chu Zishan chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over. He then looked around and said, "Manager Yun, you won't be entertaining me here, will you?"
"Welcome to the private room!" Yun Zhiqiu quickly stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.
After the group entered the private room, Chu Zishan noticed that the main hall was just beyond the bead curtain. It wasn't convenient for him to do what he wanted to do here, so he frowned and said, "Manager Yun, it's not very quiet here. Why don't we go upstairs?"
Yun Zhiqiu shook her head and said, "I am a woman. It's really inconvenient for me to meet with a man in private. Even here, I still have to bring a few people with me. I hope Lord Lieutenant can consider my innocence." At the same time, she also made it clear that she wouldn't allow the people by her side to leave.
