"Ye You, what's wrong? Why is your expression so strange?" When she saw the young girl lying in the flowers, the observant Nangong Yan noticed that Qi Yeyou's expression wasn't quite right. He looked a little nervous, but also a little happy. What was going on? Could it be that Ye You knew this woman? Nangong Yan asked with such doubts. As soon as he said that, he immediately attracted the attention of Yuyin Zhaobang and Nangong Duxing. Thus, they turned their gazes towards Qi Yeyou. Hearing this, the latter knew that he had lost his composure, so he immediately calmed down and returned to his icy face that had not changed for a hundred years. He only said lightly,"Nothing."”He turned his face to the side. "Forget it, don't you know that there's such a person?" Yuyin Zhaobang teased. He always looked like he didn't care about anything. What emotions could he have? Let's see what's wrong with this girl first.”As he spoke, he walked towards Zhang Zixun. In fact, none of them knew how excited Xuanyuan Qingjue was at this moment! Although he didn't know why he couldn't find her after searching for four years and finally appeared here, at least it proved that she hadn't returned to the Heavenly Court, so he still had hope.
Just as Xuanyuan Qingjue was lost in his thoughts, Nangong Duxing's voice came from the front. Nangong Duxing's voice sounded grave and puzzled,""What's going on? This girl seems to be protected by some kind of power. We can't get close at all.”Yuyin Zhaobang also echoed," That's right. As soon as we got close, it was as if we were repelled by a mysterious force. We couldn't get close at all. What kind of force is this?"”
"Big brother, how could this be?" Nangong Yan also frowned as she looked at the woman in front of her. She turned her head and asked Nangong Duxing. The latter shook his head in confusion. Xuanyuan Qingjue was standing not far away, so he could hear their conversation clearly. He thought to himself,'Zixun has the protection of an ancient divine artifact. No one can touch her when she's unconscious, let alone you mortals.”At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him. Nangong Yan walked up to him and said,""Ye You, you've traveled all over the world and seen a lot. Why don't you go and see what's going on?”The latter had been waiting for this sentence. He didn't want them to know that he knew this woman, so he couldn't be too proactive. However, it was fine now. Xuanyuan Qingjue lowered his head and walked over slowly. When he was ten meters away from Zhang Zixun, he could clearly feel a powerful immortal energy blocking him. As mortals, Nangong and the others couldn't feel such resistance. However, this little obstacle was nothing to this ten-thousand-year-old fox demon. He waved his hand without leaving a trace, and the immortal energy barrier immediately disappeared. Under the surprised expressions of Nangong and the other two, he easily walked to Zhang Zixun's side.
"Wow! Ye You, how did you do it? You're too amazing!" Nangong Yan couldn't help but call out. However, Yuyin Zhaobang, who was beside him, felt quite uncomfortable. He muttered to himself, What's so surprising? As long as I have time, I can do it. It's just that my internal strength is a little stronger.”However, Nangong Duxing didn't think so. At this moment, he was looking at this silver-haired good friend of his whom he had known for four years with a look of study.
"He's getting more and more unfathomable!”Xuanyuan Qingjue had no time to care about what they were thinking. All his attention was on Zhang Zixun, who was lying quietly in front of him. The more he looked, the stranger he felt. Why was she here? Why did he look like he had been unconscious for a long time? But if that was the case, how could his clothes be intact? Even if she had a half-immortal body, she would be dehydrated if she did not eat or drink for a long time. But now, it seemed that her skin was ruddy and there was no sign of dehydration at all! Was this Primordial Divine Artifact really that powerful? One question after another came to Xuanyuan Qingjue's mind. In order to figure it out, he subconsciously wanted to touch Zhang Zixun's body. However, when his hand was about to touch her body, he was bounced back by an aura. He frowned and thought to himself,"Didn't you say that I was your original master? You don't recognize me now? Immediately retract the barrier you set up!" He knew that there was a guardian spirit in the Primordial Divine Artifact that could hear him, so he deliberately said it for it. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a strange scene appeared. The fog in the entire valley slowly dissipated. Xuanyuan Qingjue no longer felt uncomfortable. The immortal light that only he could see also disappeared. It seemed like the Primordial Divine Artifact had acknowledged him.
Nangong Duxing and the others were stunned by this scene. Nangong Yan was the first to look around in confusion and surprise. Then, she said in disbelief,"Big Brother, Zhao Bang, Ye You, look! The fog in this valley has dispersed! Ever since the formation of this Red Maple Valley, the fog that had persisted had actually dissipated! What was going on? Why did they suddenly disperse?" Hearing this, the two of them also felt that it was a little strange. However, this Red Maple Valley had suddenly formed, so it was not strange for such a phenomenon to occur. Xuanyuan Qingjue thought to himself, This Primordial Divine Artifact does have some intelligence. Wouldn't it be strange if it could turn this place back to its original desolation? Now, the scenery here was preserved and the immortal energy barrier was withdrawn. As for who would destroy this place in the future, it was none of his business.”Then, Xuanyuan Qingjue easily pulled Zhang Zixun into his arms. He felt her steady heartbeat and breathing, as well as the temperature of her body. Only then did he relax. As long as she was fine, he believed that there would be a way to wake her up.
"Alright, let's go. This lady was still breathing. He had to save her first.”While Nangong Duxing and the other two were still immersed in the strange phenomenon, Xuanyuan Qingjue had already carried the unconscious Zhang Zixun to them and spoke calmly. At this moment, the former came back from his daydream. However, when they saw the woman in the latter's arms, they were stunned. The first to speak was the red-robed Yuyin Zhaobang. He first sized Xuanyuan Qingjue up from head to toe, then said in an exaggerated tone,""You. Are you the Ye You we know? You actually know how to hold a woman in your arms? I've known you for so many years, but I've never seen you fall for any woman. Even those who took the initiative to throw themselves at you, you were not moved at all. What's wrong now? Did she make you fall for her? I don't think there's anything special about it!" As he spoke, he started to size up Zhang Zixun. Seeing him like this, Xuanyuan Qingjue glared at him and walked forward without saying anything.
"Hey, look at this person. He forgets his friends when he sees women! Who are you!" Yuyin Zhaobang said disdainfully.
"You, don't be so nosy here. You're like a woman! Let's go!" Nangong Yan walked to his side and grumbled a few words, leaving him with her back view without turning her head. Then, Nangong Duxing walked past him without saying a word. "What's wrong with these people today?" he wondered. Wait for me!" As he spoke, he hurriedly rushed over. On the way, Nangong Yan looked at Xuanyuan Qingjue, who was walking in front of them with Zhang Zixun in his arms. She whispered into his brother's ear,""Brother, don't you feel that Ye You has been acting a little strange since he saw this lady today? Why is he the only one who can get close and we can't? Could it really be because Ye You's martial arts are higher than both of you?”Hearing this, Nangong Duxing frowned and fell into deep thought. He did not understand why. What he didn't understand even more was the sudden appearance of Silent Night, who had disappeared for two years. All of this needed a reasonable explanation. A moment later, Nangong Yan smiled again." Maybe it's really a marriage arranged by the heavens for Ye You?" Have you ever seen him fall in love with any woman? Now, he was so concerned about this girl. Could this be love at first sight?”Nangong Duxing did not comment.
Seven days later, in a quiet bamboo house in Red Maple Valley. The warm sunlight shone in, giving people a very comfortable feeling. The furnishings in the bamboo house were simple. There was only a table and a bamboo bed. There were some daily necessities on the table, some rouge powder, and a bronze mirror. It looked like a place where women lived. At this moment, a woman in a white dress was lying on the bamboo bed. Although she seemed to be unconscious, her face was ruddy and her breathing was stable. It was as if she was asleep. This person was Zhang Zixun, who had fallen into this Red Maple Valley four years ago. Right now, her consciousness was in a blur. It was the same scene and the same person, calling her to wake up quickly. That person was none other than Qing `er.
"Qing `er, where are you? Don't go, don't leave me! I beg you! Qing `er." Zhang Zixun shouted and sat up abruptly. Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. When she calmed down, she opened her eyes and looked around. What appeared in her line of sight was a bamboo house. Everything was made of bamboo. She was sitting on a bamboo bed. She took a closer look and saw a table in front of her. On it was a mirror and some toiletries.
"Looks like it's a woman's room." she murmured. She then looked around to make sure that no one was around. She immediately sat cross-legged and closed her eyes. Her divine sense followed every meridian in her body and finally relaxed."My magic power has recovered." He recalled the situation back then. It was all his fault for being careless. He knew that he could not use too much magic power in the mortal world, so why did he fly for a long time? He exhausted his magic power and fell into the valley. This time, perhaps the Primordial Divine Artifact had saved his life again! She couldn't help but glance at the purple butterfly dream on her wrist and said softly,""Thank you!"
Just as she was thinking about something, the sound of the door being pushed open rang out. Immediately, she saw a woman in a light green dress walking in gracefully. When she got closer, Zhang Zixun realized that this woman had a delicate face and an ethereal aura. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still the type of girl from a humble family. The person who came in was Nangong Yan, who had gone out to look for wild vegetables. When she saw Zhang Zixun sitting on the bed, a bright smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face. She did not care about her image and walked over to Zhang Zixun's side to sit down. She said in surprise,"Miss, you're finally awake! Did you know? You've been unconscious for seven days and seven nights! We were ready to give up. Because I've tried everything, but you just won't wake up. Fortunately, you're awake now!" By the end of her sentence, Nangong Yan had already grabbed Zhang Zixun's hands. However, the latter seemed to have yet to react. She stared blankly at the girl in front of her who looked very cute because of her excitement. Nangong Yan seemed to have realized that she had lost her composure. She let go of Zhang Zixun's hand and lowered her head, blushing.
"I'm sorry. We spent a lot of effort to wake you up, so I'm really happy that you're awake now.”Nangong Yan said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing. I think you're very cute!”Zhang Zixun replied with a smile. No matter what, she was the one who saved her and spent a lot of effort to wake her up, so she was too grateful. How could she blame him?
"Oh, as long as you don't mind. By the way, my name is Nangong Yan. May I know your name?”Nangong Yan changed the topic.
"Miss Nangong, my name is Zhang Zixun.”
"Don't call her Miss Nangong, it's too awkward. If you don't mind, just call me Yan 'er!”Nangong Yan laughed. Zhang Zixun was not reserved. She smiled and said,"Alright, Yan 'er!"”After introducing themselves to each other, Nangong Yan suddenly thought of an important question, so she asked,"Oh right, Zixun. Do you mind me calling you that?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt that she was being too abrupt, so she asked. Zhang Zixun shook her head." I don't mind. As long as you like it, Yan 'er, you can call me that in the future."”The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Alright, Zixun, let me ask you. Why were you unconscious at the bottom of Maple Valley? How did you fall?" This question confused Zhang Zixun. She clearly remembered that the last thing she saw before she fainted was a desolate valley. Why did she say that this was Red Maple Valley?
"Yan 'er, what do you think this place is called? Red Maple Valley?" Zhang Zixun asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, don't you know? This valley was suddenly formed four years ago. This place is full of red maple trees. I found it when my brother, Zhaobang, and I went out to play. The name was also given by us. If you don't believe me, you can take a look." He pointed out the window. Zhang Zixun looked in the direction of her finger and saw a patch of red maple trees. Fiery red leaves fell to the ground. This made her even more surprised. If what she said is true, this place was formed four years ago. Then, what he saw before he fainted was a wasteland. In other words, he had been unconscious for four years, not seven days!”This result completely stunned Zhang Zixun, and her face instantly turned pale. This change in her naturally did not escape Nangong Yan's eyes. The latter asked with concern,""Zixun, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? Let's lie down and rest for a while!" As he spoke, he helped Zhang Zixun lie down. The latter was now completely immersed in shock, allowing the former to fiddle with it in a daze. After everything was done, Nangong Yan said softly,""Zixun, rest first. I'll go out first.”Then, he left. Only Zhang Zixun was left lying on the bed in a daze. She kept muttering,"Four years, how can it be four years? I was in a coma for four years! How is this possible?"
Outside the bamboo house, Nangong Yan had just closed the door when Yuyin Zhaobang's voice came from behind,""Yan 'er, I heard that the girl seems to have woken up. Have you asked who it is?" He always had a bright smile on his face.
"Shh! The girl had just woken up and seemed to be emotionally unstable. Now, she had fallen asleep again. Let her rest for a while. Don't be too loud.”Nangong Yan made a silent gesture and pulled Yuyin Zhaobang to the stone table in the bamboo forest behind the house. "Oh right, Zhaobang, where are my brother and Ye You?" She deliberately changed the topic. Why didn't he see them early in the morning?”
"Oh, they said that there are still some days before the three-year agreement, so they went to the market to buy some daily necessities. Although we're heroes, we're still humans. We still need to eat. Don't you think so?" Yuyin Zhaobang said. Hearing this, Nangong Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said disdainfully,"Tsk, you call yourself a hero? His martial arts can't compare to Ye You's, and his lightness skill can't compare to my big brother's. Remember the last three year agreement, you couldn't even last a hundred moves from Big Brother Sima, so forget it!”Hearing this, Yuyin Zhaobang was furious,""You. Why did you mention that?" However, a mocking smile soon appeared on his face. He approached Nangong Yan and said,"Since I'm so useless, why do you still like me?”Sensing the aura from his body, coupled with these words, Nangong Yan's face couldn't help but blush."Who said she likes you? Talent. No!" However, in the end, it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
"Oh? Was that so? When Brother Sima and Bai Xinling come, I will tell her that I like her. Actually, being the son-in-law of the Bai family was not bad!”Yuyin Zhaobang continued to tease. Who knew that Nangong Yan would fall for his trick. She immediately glared at him and shouted,"How dare you!" As soon as she said that, she knew that she had been fooled. Her pretty little face was already as red as an apple.
"Alright, Yan 'er, I don't dare, I don't dare! How could I fall in love with someone else? I, Yuyin Zhaobang, will only express my feelings to you, Nangong Yan. I swear that in this life, or even in every life, I will only love you and protect you. Although I haven't gotten your father's approval yet, I believe that as long as we love each other sincerely, your father will agree!”As he spoke, he pulled Nangong Yan into his embrace. The latter was also immersed in happiness. At this moment, she was happy. There was nothing more blissful than finding someone who loved her. However, Nangong Yan had done it. Although she knew that the road ahead would not be easy, she was willing to persevere. As long as this person in front of her was by her side, she could get through anything. Zhang Zixun, who was in the bamboo house, saw this scene clearly. He was extremely envious. Although his love life in his previous life was bumpy, since he could not go back now, he naturally wanted to find that sincere relationship here. But where was that person of his?
