"Have you seen the itinerant cultivator list?"
In the attic of the Jin palace, Shao Pingbo greeted Tai-shu Xiong. Tai-shu Xiong asked with his back facing him.
Shao Pingbo replied, "I have."
He was surprised to see the itinerant cultivator list, especially when he saw Niu Youdao's name.
In the past, he thought that he lost to Niu Youdao because he was not an itinerant cultivator. However, it seemed that God was fair.
Tai-shu Xiong said, "Niu Youdao is on the list too. He seems to have offended a lot of people. During the nomination in the Misty Pavilion, 12 people recommended him."
Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered and he said calmly, "If Your Majesty wants to recruit him, this is the opportunity."
The so-called opportunity referred to the fact that the Jin cultivators in the Heaven Capital mystic realm could protect Niu Youdao. The deterrence of the Jin Nation could be extended.
It seemed like he was asking for talents for Tai-shu Xiong, but in fact, he was pushing Niu Youdao into the abyss.
He knew that Niu Youdao would not agree. Given the current situation that Niu Youdao was in, he would not agree either. If he did not agree even in the face of death, Tai-shu Xiong would be completely disappointed. It was a sin to be capable. If he could not be one of them, he would be an enemy. If Tai-shu Xiong gave the order, the Jin cultivators in the Heaven Capital mystic realm would not be lenient.
Tai-shu Xiong nodded in agreement.
Shao Pingbo then changed the topic. "On the itinerant cultivator list, I am most concerned about Ximen Qingkong, not Niu Youdao."
"Oh?" Tai-shu Xiong turned around and looked at him.
Shao Pingbo cupped his hands and said, "Ximen Qing Kong is the guardian of Xuan Wei, preventing the small fries from acting rashly. Without Ximen Qing Kong's deterrence, there are many things that Xuan Wei cannot do as she pleases. Ximen Qingkong will be gone for a year. The three major sects of Wei will not miss this opportunity. They will definitely take the opportunity to strengthen their control over Xuan Wei. I can speed up the progress of the spies I have planted in Wei. "
"Yes!" Tai-shu Xiong nodded.
…
"You have something to say?"
Xuan Wei, who was sitting behind the desk, finished reading the last document and handed it to her subordinate to send away. She glanced at Tang Yi, who seemed to want to say something several times but stopped herself.
Tang Yi was a little nervous.
Ximen Qingkong, who was standing under the pillar with his arms crossed and an unsophisticated broadsword on his back, swept a cold glance over.
Xuan Wei: "Sister, if you have something to say, just say it."
Tang Yi braced herself and stepped forward, "Niu Youdao is also on the list of rogue cultivators entering Tiandu Secret Realm."
Xuan Wei nodded. "I saw it. Little Sister, do you have anything to say?"
Tang Yi: "Didn't you want to recruit Niu Youdao? This should be an opportunity. "As he spoke, he stole a glance at Ximen Qingkong.
Xuan Wei's eyes flashed slyly and she smiled. "I understand what you mean. You are afraid that he will be in danger when he enters Tiandu Secret Realm. You want to let Weiguo participate or Ximen Qingkong help him. It seems that you still have feelings for Niu Youdao."
Tang Yi said awkwardly, "It's not what you think. After all, he still helped Shanghai Sect. Shanghai Sect doesn't want to owe him a favor. What's more, if he can really help you, why not? This is indeed a good opportunity to recruit him. "
Xuan Wei thought for a while and finally nodded. "Okay! I understand. I will arrange this matter later. You also need to arrange the matters of Tiandu Secret Realm. Go back first. "
Tang Yi bowed slightly and left.
After watching Tang Yi's figure disappear outside the door, Xuan Wei also got up and left the table. She left the attic through the back door and strolled around the pavilion. Her eyes swept left and right at the mage guards arranged in Tianwei Mansion.
After entering her own room, Xuan Wei dismissed the maid who was on standby. Under her signal, the maid left and closed the door.
Ximen Qingkong looked at the closed door and was a little surprised. A man and a woman alone in a room was something Xuan Wei had always wanted to avoid. She didn't want those rumors to be true.
Xuan Wei turned around and stood in front of him. She raised her head and looked at him. "Did you hear what Tang Yi said just now?"
Ximen Qingkong: "Don't worry. I will do my best to protect Niu Youdao."
Xuan Wei couldn't help but reach out and grab his wrist. "I don't need you to protect him. You just need to protect yourself. As long as nothing happens to you, that is more important than anything. Don't take Tang Yi's words seriously. Don't take it seriously. Do you understand? "
Feeling the warmth from her hand, as well as the heartfelt concern in her words, Ximen Qingkong's gaze was filled with tenderness. She slowly reached out to hold her hand, "Xuan Wei, I understand some things. No matter how good I am at fighting, I can only fight against ten thousand people. But Niu Youdao can slaughter countries, destroy cities, and bring peace to the country. Cultivation is about talent. Strategizing is also a kind of talent. Compared to him, I am still too simple. His ability is not something I can compare to. You need him more in the face of all kinds of restrictions in the cultivation world. Haven't you always wanted to recruit him? Tang Yi is right. This is indeed an opportunity. "
Xuan Wei's eyes flashed with inexplicable sadness. "Ximen, why don't you understand? The countries are fighting for hegemony. Niu Youdao has already been involved in the world's conflicts of interest. The twelve heads of the sects pushed him into Heaven Capital Mystery Territory. That means they want him dead! The three big sects sent you into Heaven Capital Mystery Territory with evil intentions. They don't have good intentions. Once you enter Heaven Capital Mystery Territory, you will be alone. Anything can happen. You need to be careful of them. If you get involved in Niu Youdao's matters again, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
"Ximen, I know what to do. Without Niu Youdao, the sky won't fall. You must listen to me this time. You must promise me! Ximen, you said that you will protect me for life. You can't go back on your words. You must come back alive. You don't need to care about other things. Do you hear me? I … "
Before she could finish, she let out a soft moan. Ximen Qingkong had already covered her mouth with her own.
Ximen Qingkong suddenly hugged her tightly. He hungrily kissed her lips. His hands had no other way to express his feelings other than to touch her endlessly.
Xuan Wei subconsciously resisted and pushed him away. She couldn't push him away. In the end, she also ignited herself. She hugged him, as if afraid that he would never return.
It seemed that only by being together could they express their feelings. The two finally fell on the bed. The atmosphere in the room was so intense that even the heavens would be jealous.
When her snow-white breasts were slightly exposed to the air, she felt a chill. Xuan Wei, who was panting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. She seemed to have woken up. She suddenly used all her strength to flip Ximen Qingkong to the side.
Xuan Wei hurriedly got up with flushed cheeks. She hurriedly tidied up her messy clothes. "Ximen, we can't do this."
Ximen Qingkong came behind her again. He hugged her and kissed her white neck. His breathing was rapid. "Xuan Wei, do you know why I'm staying here? Do you know who I'm doing this for? Everyone in the world knows that I can die for you! "
Xuan Wei struggled to free herself from his arms. She quickly tidied up her clothes and raised her hand to adjust the hairpin on her head. Then she quickly opened the door and walked out.
As soon as the door was opened, Ximen Qingkong quickly woke up from his daze. There was a flash of shame on his face.
Xuan Wei didn't leave. Instead, she quietly stood under the eaves and waited for him. There was a flash of bitterness in her eyes.
Ximen Qingkong slowly walked out and stood beside her. He softly said, "I'm sorry. Just now …"
Xuan Wei shook her head. "There's no need to be sorry. I'm the one who's sorry. You should be flying in the sky, laughing at the wind and clouds. I was too selfish. I used your feelings for me and tied you here. I'm willing to do anything you want to me. But I can't do it now. I'm a married woman."
Ximen Qingkong: "I didn't use you. I did it willingly. He's been dead for so many years."
Xuan Wei: "That's why I can't do it. I'm a widow. You're the number one expert on the Elixir Roll. I can't let you bear the stigma of adultery with a widow."
Ximen Qingkong: "The Elixir Roll is a joke!"
Xuan Wei: "But in my heart, you'll always be number one! I've already wronged you. I can't let you bear the burden that you shouldn't have. Ximen, there are some bottom lines that you can't cross. Once you cross them, you'll become a coward. Ximen, you should know my feelings and the responsibilities that I bear. Now is not the time. Otherwise, how will the people of Wei Country look at us? How can we be together when we're condemned by everyone? "
Ximen Qingkong: "You've already shouldered too much. You've tried your best. You didn't let anyone down. There are some things that you don't need to bear alone. If you let it go, someone else will naturally bear it. Come with me. Stay away from all the grudges and troubles here. "
Xuan Wei turned to face him. "Promise me. After you enter the Heaven Capital Mystery Territory, don't worry about anything else. What you need to do is to protect yourself. You must come back alive. I, Xuan Wei, will wait for you here! I, Xuan Wei, also promise you that as long as you can return safely, I will immediately start the proper handover of the matters in my hands. After this matter is settled, I will no longer owe anyone anything. I will go far away with you and become your woman! Between us, there's no need to be sneaky! "
Ximen Qingkong's spirit was lifted. His eyes lit up. He was overjoyed. Not only did he not blame others for forcing him into the Heaven Capital Mystery Territory, he even thanked those people.
After so many years, he had finally waited for this woman to give in. He had finally waited for this woman's promise. He said firmly, "Alright! I promise you. Wait for me to come back! "
…
"You really want to enter the Heaven Capital Mystery Territory?"
Tang Yi frowned. She asked Wei Duo who was standing next to her.
She returned to the sect from the Tianwei Mansion. The candidates that the sect recommended to enter the Heaven Capital Mystery Territory were also out. Everyone kept silent. However, Wei Duo volunteered to participate.
Originally, for Xuan Wei's sake, the last name list that Wei Guo submitted did not have anything to do with the Shanghai Sect. However, the last name list was rejected by the Misty Pavilion.
The name list that Wei Guo submitted had to be redrafted. This time, they could not fool around anymore. They had to submit a group of elite cultivators.
The three major sects of Wei Guo could not throw all of their elite disciples into the Heaven Capital Mystery Territory. Naturally, the number of names needed to be shared by all the sects of Wei Guo.
Similarly, for Xuan Wei's sake, they only asked the Shanghai Sect to submit one person. They let the Shanghai Sect choose their own person to submit.
The cruelty and danger of the Secret Territory of Heaven Du was known to everyone. The Shang Qing Sect did not have the power to guarantee the safety of their disciples in the Secret Territory of Heaven Du. Sending someone was no different from sending someone to their death. Who to send to participate was a difficult decision.
