Although Xiao Yi hadn't reached the age of the first blossoming of love, the sudden kiss still made her tender body tremble. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a surprised light, and on her perfect and flawless face, two blushes instantly surged.
She was still young, but she already knew what love was. Moreover, Mu Qingxiao was deeply imprinted in her heart and couldn't be erased. Being kissed by the person she liked, her body would instinctively react.
After a while, their lips parted. Mu Qingxiao didn't do anything too excessive. He pulled down her veil and was in a good mood.
Xiao Yi felt a little dizzy when she came back to her senses. Without thinking, she turned around and hugged Qiu Li tightly in her arms.
Looking at her, Mu Qingxiao knew that this little girl must be shy. He began to whisper sweet nothings to her. After a while, her stiff body became soft again, and she pressed against his chest.
Xiao Yi came back to her senses and handed over the ordinary longsword hanging on the horse. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a hand gesture, "Put it away. This is the first gift you've given me."
Mu Qingxiao's eyes were filled with tenderness. He took the longsword and put it in the deepest part of his storage space, hugging the soft body in his arms tightly.
Since Xiao Yi already had Qiu Li, Mu Qingxiao naturally headed northwest. His destination was Sang Hai by the East Sea.
.....
.....
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Qingxiao carried the little beauty and galloped on a rugged road two kilometers away from Sang Hai.
Originally, the distance between Tianzong and Sang Hai was only a few dozen kilometers. It could be considered a winding mountain road, and it would take about two days to reach. However, Mu Qingxiao took Xiao Yi to sightsee all over the place. It took them two full weeks to reach their destination.
At this moment, the white horse's front hooves left the ground and stopped by the road. Mu Qingxiao looked into the dark forest and said calmly, "Come out."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right after those words were spoken, a middle-aged man dressed in a black leather armor flashed over to the white steed and kneeled down on a single knee. With his head lowered, he said respectfully, "General Zhang Han pays respect to Your Highness."
Despite his young age, Zhang Han was a valiant and skilled general. He was the leader of Qin Shihuang's personal guards, the 'Shadow Secret Guards'. Due to his superb perception and agility, he was highly regarded. Although his official rank wasn't high, he wielded great authority, and he was directly under Ying Zheng's command.
Mu Qingxiao frowned as he looked at the middle-aged man before him.
If his memory served him right, Zhang Han had received an urgent military order from Ying Zheng on the eve of the Mirage's departure. He had brought his' Shadow Secret Guards' to Mulberry Sea to take over from Meng Tian, who had gone north to fight against the Xiongnu.
After coming to Sang Hai, he used his sharp observation skills to discover and resolve the plot of someone trying to assassinate Young Master Fu Su. After that, he accepted Fu Su's orders to investigate the case.
At the same time, he discovered that Mohist Clan's Commander Daozhi was hiding in a tree far away. After that, he chased after Daozhi with the 'Shadow Secret Guards' and captured him alive and threw him into the 'Teeth Devouring Prison' where Pao Ding was.
Although the capture of Daozhi was part of the plan to rescue Pao Ding, Zhang Han's ability was evident from the fact that he was qualified to lead such a terrifying group of 'Shadow Secret Guards'.
The reason Mu Qingxiao frowned was because Zhang Han's arrival at Sang Hai didn't coincide with the plot. If it was just to keep Xiao Yi by his side, he wouldn't believe that the plot would deviate so much. Could it be related to the famed swords?
After going through many planes, Mu Qingxiao realized that the more precious a treasure was, the more it deviated from the plot. It seemed like there was something fishy about the top ten swords on the Weapon Ranking.
"General Zhang Han, why have you come to Sang Hai?"
"Your Highness, Zhang Han has been ordered by His Majesty to take over from General Meng Tian and fight against the Xiongnu in the north."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingxiao regained his composure. "I see. Has the Yin-Yang school's Illusive Mirage been completed?"
"Your Highness, the Illusive Mirage only started four months ago. It will take some time before it's completed."
Mu Qingxiao fell into deep thought.
Over the past half a year, he and Xiao Yi had been traveling around. Other than Beiming Zi of the Celestial Sect, they hadn't come into contact with many people. Even when they passed by a small town, they would only stop for a short while.
Thus, it was natural that he didn't know much about the empire. He just didn't expect so many things to happen in just a year.
"Since that's the case, why didn't you head to Sang Hai directly? Why did you go through so much trouble to meet me?"
His footsteps were erratic, so Zhang Han must have put in a lot of effort to find him. He really was a patient man, just as the information said.
"Your Highness, Sang Hai is a dangerous place. Please be careful. This subordinate will take his leave now."
Hearing Zhang Han's words, Mu Qingxiao knew that his cheap father in Xianyang City wasn't completely unconcerned about him. "Take the Shadow Guardians away. I don't need any guards."
After that, a terrifying aura emanated from Xiao Yi, and it locked onto Zhang Han. Strands of cold sweat appeared on Zhang Han's forehead when he sensed this terrifying pressure, and his gaze towards Xiao Yi was filled with astonishment!
Zhang Han had done his research on Xiao Yi, who was by Mu Qingxiao's side. He found out that she was brought to Xianyang City by the Celestial Sect's Sect Master, but he didn't think much of it.
However, what shocked him was that the girl on the horse was actually a master realm expert, much stronger than him. She was practically a monster!
If the information he had gathered was correct, the girl was only ten years old!
Zhang Han looked at the veiled Xiao Yi in shock. With a wave of his left hand, he disappeared from the spot, along with the four Shadow Guardians.
After Zhang Han left, the two of them set off again, but this time at a much slower speed. Mu Qingxiao hugged the soft body in his arms as a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.
The butterfly effect had brought the world forward by half a year. Whether it was Ge Nie betraying the Qin State with Xing Tianming, the construction of the Mirage, or Zhang Han coming to Sang Hai in advance.
Since Zhang Han was already in Sang Hai, he wondered if Zhao Gao had brought the six Sword Slaves and his cheap brother, Fu Su.
The assassination attempt at the Sea Moon Villa, the famed sword in the Little Sage Manor, and the Mohist Sect that had two famed swords. Since he was in Sang Hai, he naturally had to take a look at the Mirage.
Moreover, he wanted to confirm whether Yun Zhongjun in the Legend of Qin and Sakyamuni (Xu Fu) in the Wind and Clouds were the same person.
Moreover, the Moon Wall Sword was in the hands of Xiangjun from the Yin-Yang School. Mu Qingxiao had to go to the Mirage.
