She took the poisons that her senior sister had given her and kept them in her arms, thanking her profusely. After chatting for a while longer, he got up and left. Ren Jue had asked her to have lunch with him many times, but she had rejected him because she had something to do.
It was already May, but the Martial City was still a little cold. As she walked slowly forward, she was suddenly attracted by a stall selling combs. She thought of the jade comb that she had forgotten in her dressing box at home, and also missed the person who had given her the comb in the capital.
The two aunties beside her were chatting, and their topic shocked Leng Shuiyun. The topic was directed at the person she was thinking about just now.
"I heard that the third son of the imperial family, Prince Cheng, is seriously ill and cannot get up. The emperor had no choice but to cancel his marriage with Princess Lan Xin of Jiangnan.”
"Ah, I heard that the princess is a great beauty. Your Highness is really unlucky.”
"It seems that he got such a serious illness because of love. Which woman could bear to make him heartbroken? She's really heartless.”
Could it be that he had quietly left, causing him to fall ill? No, if it was really her, then wouldn't she become the heartless woman they said she was?
"What happened after that?"
"The emperor has arranged for the princess to marry the sixth prince on the sixth day of the sixth month.”
"However, the Third Prince is not young anymore and has yet to marry.”
"Sigh, the Third Prince grew up in the military when he was young and has made many military achievements. Not long after, he left the palace to wander the Jianghu. The Emperor missed his son and used the marriage as an excuse to call him back to the palace. Unexpectedly, he said,'How can I start a family when the country is in turmoil?'She rejected the marriage and dragged it on for another three years.”
Gossip. Did these two aunties think that life was too comfortable, so they were gossiping about the royal family here? Even though she was thinking about it, her heart still drifted to the capital. Was he seriously ill? She wanted to see him. She suddenly wanted to see him.
She returned to the inn in a daze. Duan Xiao hadn't returned yet, so she went back to her room first. She sat on the bed, her head leaning against the bedpost. She held the fan in her hand and tapped her legs. She had been away for almost a month. She wondered if everything was fine at home. Why did he fall sick and cancel his marriage with Lan Xin? If he had known earlier, why did he leave in such a panic? He left in a hurry just to fulfill his wish. Lan Xin was a good girl who was worthy of him. Why should he let her down?
Time trickled by, and it was time for dinner. Duan Xiao ordered the dishes downstairs but didn't see Leng Shuiyun. She asked the waiter and told him that Leng Shuiyun had stayed in her room since she returned to the inn. He came over to urge her to gently push the door open, but it wasn't locked? He noticed that she was leaning against the bed and didn't look too good. She looked lonely and he couldn't help but be concerned." Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Did you not sleep well last night?"”
Seeing that she didn't answer, he asked again," I heard from the waiter that you haven't left the house since you came back. Have you had lunch?"”
She still didn't react. He couldn't help but grab her thin shoulders and shake her slightly." Leng Shuiyun! Come back to your senses!"
Who was shaking her? She slowly raised her face, and her eyes finally showed signs of life. Duan Xiao then stopped shaking her." Come down and have dinner."”
If he didn't call her, she would probably have to skip dinner.
He watched as she obediently followed him downstairs. She only woke up when she saw the sumptuous dinner on the table.
Oh, it seemed like he hadn't had lunch. He rubbed his flat stomach and pursed his lips. He really felt hungry.
Duan Xiao didn't find her comical actions funny. She must be starving. Leng Shuiyun didn't say anything during the meal. She quickly finished her meal and was about to return to her room when she was stopped by him." What plans do you have for tomorrow?"”
"Go out of the city and head west." She stopped at the corner of the stairs and continued upstairs.
"Then I will accompany you.”His voice came from behind.
"If Young Master Duan has something to do, there's no need to travel with Shui Yun.”Looking at her lonely back, he only wanted to accompany her now.
That night, Leng Shuiyun didn't sleep well. She kept dreaming. In her dreams, there was a person who was either gentle or angry. Suddenly, a pale face appeared in front of her. It was haggard and she recognized the face of the high and mighty Lan Xuanhan. Why did he torture her? I didn't want you to be like this. No, I thought that leaving was the best choice. Was I wrong? A blurry voice sounded." Why did you leave without saying a word?”After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ah! Her eyes widened instantly. So it was a dream. Her hand slid across the corner of her eyes and touched a little coolness. Was it tears?
After changing his position, the nightmare continued to attack him. Pa! Ding!" A ray of silver light pierced through the window and nailed itself to the wall. Leng Shuiyun got off the bed and ran to the window. She pushed the window open and looked up at the waning moon in the sky. There was no one in sight. At this moment, Duan Xiao, who was in the room next door, also rushed over." I just heard some movement.”
"Yes." He glanced at Duan Xiao, who was standing at the door, and turned around to take off the note on the arrow. It wrote," The Flame Dragon Token has appeared in Qu Town, south of the Martial Arts City. The Phoenix Palace and the Bright Mountain Sect will be heading there.”
"Who is it?" Duan Xiao had unknowingly stood beside him and asked after looking at it.
"No matter who or what, I have to make a trip to Qu Town.”Leng Shuiyun crushed the note, leaving behind a pile of white paper scraps.
After sending Duan Xiao away, the room returned to its tranquility. No, it should be said that it was strangely quiet, leaving only the room alone. Leng Shuiyun opened the broken window and leaned against the window, looking at the stars in the sky. Her thoughts were pulled away and she was in a daze.
Early in the morning, when the sky had just turned white, Leng Shuiyun packed her luggage and wanted to leave. Duan Xiao seemed to have a telepathic connection with her as they pushed open the door together and smiled. The city gates opened, and the two of them rode their horses to the southwest.
After traveling for more than six hours, the two of them entered this small Qu Town, but they were shocked. The town, which should have been quiet, was now occupied by martial artists. Not only was the Bright Mountain Sect there, but other sects and some martial artists were also gathered here.
This was his first reaction after arriving.
Lingxi looked at the back of the woman in front of him. She looked very familiar. Was it Wu Xi? He wanted to go over and confirm it personally, but she turned around. It was her. It was really her. Coincidentally, she could avoid the misunderstanding of mistaking him for someone else.
He stopped behind her and patted her shoulder naturally. She turned around and looked surprised. "Young Master Ling!"
Lingxi bowed first, and he was still gentle and elegant.
Duan Xiao pushed Leng Shuiyun aside and pretended to be intimate as she asked," Yun 'Er, how do you know the Young Master of the Ling Family?”
Leng Shuiyun was stunned. Why is this person calling me Yun 'Er? Isn't it too intimate? Also, he clearly knows me and is also aware that he is the young master of the Ling family. Could it be that he doesn't know that after the Martial Arts Circle Great Ensemble, I ascended Martial Mountain with them? After all, that was a huge commotion and everyone knew about it. She raised her head to look at Lingxi and was stunned for a moment.
She introduced herself again," Young Master Ling, Wu Xi was just an alias at that time. My surname is Leng, and my name is Shui Yun.”
It turned out that Wu Xi was just an alias, but what Lingxi cared about now was who the man who seemed to be close to her was." Oh, may I know who the person beside you is?”
Without waiting for Leng Shuiyun's introduction, Duan Xiao said herself," I'm Duan Xiao, a nobody. I'm not worth mentioning.”
Eh? Why was this person so humble? It didn't seem like it. However, Leng Shuiyun suddenly remembered that she really didn't know this person. She didn't even know anything about him other than his name.
Duan Xiao? " I've never heard of such a person before. However, judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like a nobody. Could it be that he's not from the martial arts world?" Young Master Duan was humble.”
Leng Shuiyun felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, so she could only interrupt to dissolve the awkwardness and anger," Young Master Ling, we haven't met since we parted on Mount Wu. When I went to the Ling residence earlier, I saw Senior Sister and heard that you two are married. Congratulations."”
Thinking of her marriage with Ren Jue, an imperceptible smile rose to the corner of her mouth." I wanted to invite you and Third Young Master, but I couldn't find any news about you no matter how hard I tried. I only heard that someone saw you two meet on the road and then left together.”
"Ah, Third Young Master and I are both in the capital, so we decided to go together.”Just as she finished speaking, an unfamiliar man called out to Lingxi.
Lingxi waved his hand at him, indicating that he understood." Miss, you must be tired. Go over and rest for a while."”
She nodded her head. She had not rested well for the past two days, and she was really not in high spirits. She followed Lingxi, and only then did she know that these people were all people who were traveling with him. After greeting each other, Leng Shuiyun sat down.
Before she could sit properly, she heard someone talking outside." Hey, look! The Bright Mountain Sect has appeared.”
" Hey, those are the people from the Phoenix Palace." A moment later, another voice sounded.
Outside, the Bright Mountain Sect and the Phoenix Palace met face to face in Qu Town. Perhaps the people felt that things were not good and rushed home to hide before the danger arrived. They closed the windows and locked the doors.
The setting sun cast a long shadow on the dark street. A breeze blew the dust on the road. Some people couldn't help but shiver. It looked like a fierce battle was about to happen.
The shop owner looked at the scene in front of him. The people sitting in his shop were all Jianghu people. It was probably as difficult as ascending to the heavens to ask them to leave. It was even more impossible to close the shop. For the sake of his life, he could only run.
"Boss! Boss! Where's the wine I asked for?" A guest who was paying attention to the movements outside realized that the wine he wanted had not been served yet. He urged anxiously. They were just watching the show. How could they not have wine?
"Stop shouting, the boss has already run away!”A man who was sitting beside Lingxi said, and the room was filled with laughter.
"Cowardly as a mouse." The man who had no alcohol could only complain.
Leng Shuiyun and the others followed the crowd and came to the door without fear of death. The Bright Mountain Sect greeted them like gentlemen," Why have you come to Qu Town?"”
When the Phoenix Palace heard this, she asked back," Then why did Mingshan send you here? I think we have the same goal.”
It was obvious that the faces of the people from the Bright Mountain Sect immediately darkened after hearing this. "Oh? How can our Clear Mountain Sect have the same goal as you?”
A gust of wind blew, causing the window paper to make a whistling sound. Immediately, dark clouds covered the sky. Leng Shuiyun closed her eyes slightly, feeling the sand in the wind and the stinging pain on her face.
"Looks like it's going to rain." Duan Xiao saw Leng Shuiyun frowning and carefully used her sleeve to block the sandstorm for her.
She couldn't feel the wind slapping her face, and only then did she realize that Duan Xiao was blocking it for her. She was grateful from the bottom of her heart and smiled at him. "Bad weather always comes fast and out of control.”
