Zhixuan smiled helplessly and looked into Yin Xianyin's mesmerizing eyes."You're so crafty. How would I dare to take you? Alright, we'll do as you say." In front of a beauty, he could only compromise.
Zhao Shizhe was puzzled by the conversation between Helan Zhixuan and Yin Xianyin. Helan Zhixuan seemed to be implying something. He was sensitive. He felt that Yin Xianyin was the one controlling everything. Even their lives were in Yin Xianyin's hands. However, things had already come to this. If he did not believe her, who else could he believe?
Late at night, everyone was asleep. Helan Zhixuan tossed and turned. He opened his eyes and got up carefully, not wanting to wake the others. Then, he slowly walked to a place far away from the bonfire.
Taking a deep breath, Helan Zhixuan closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of peace. She could not predict what would happen tomorrow, or the next moment.
It was that cold light again!
Helan Zhixuan was alert. She opened her eyes and quickly turned around again, afraid that she would miss this opportunity to find out the origin of the strangeness.
"Sou!"
Helan Zhixuan seemed to have seen that fleeting eye in her haziness!
Strange, terrifying, and cold!
What was that? Was it a human or a ghost? Helan Zhixuan couldn't tell if it was an illusion or reality. Everything had happened so suddenly. Too many strange things had happened, and he had gradually become numb to it.
Helan Zhixuan felt pain in her shoulder. It must be an old injury. He subconsciously pulled his collar and unbuttoned his lower body. From his left shoulder to his back, there were a few traces of iron whips. On her tender skin, the scars were like winding red snakes, extremely terrifying.
He stood there for a moment before he felt someone approaching him. He hurriedly pulled up his clothes and turned his head around vigilantly. It was Ji Qingxi, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ji Qingxi looked around and confirmed that there was no one around.
Seeing Helan Zhixuan's frightened appearance, Ji Qingxi also inexplicably felt a sense of panic. Leaving the Divine Religion and coming to this unfamiliar place was not satisfactory. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Helan Zhixuan shook her head. The only person who knew her background was Ji Qingxi. As for the others, it was only superficial contact. Was the personality they showed their true nature? He did not know.
Was Lu Xiao really pure, straightforward, and heroic?
Was Zhao Shizhe really chivalrous and gentle?
Was Ping Yuxiao really honest and pure, without any distracting thoughts?
Especially Yin Xianyin, this viper-like beauty, her every word and action was a mystery.
Helan Zhixuan had too many doubts. He didn't trust people and didn't know how to start. He looked at Ji Qingxi and only said,""You didn't sleep either." Although they were like fire and water, he understood him. They were the same kind of people.
Perhaps Ji Qingxi had the same guess as Helan Zhixuan. He slowly said,"You and I both know that the sword of the Jin Shuo Dynasty that Yin Xianyin mentioned should be the Silk Moon Sword.”
Helan Zhixuan nodded and said,"So the Silk Moon Sword and the Soul Star Sword are in Jinshuo and the Sacred Light Sect respectively."”
A hint of joy flashed across Ji Qingxi's brows.""My lord has been looking for these two swords. Should we immediately send a pigeon to tell my lord about this?”
Helan Zhixuan paused for a few seconds." This matter is not urgent. If you're not afraid of death and insist on sending a letter, don't drag me into it."”
After completing the task of stealing the antidote, it would be best to steal the Silk Moon Sword. However, if they told Gu Shixuan the whereabouts of the sword, Gu Shixuan would definitely order them to steal the Silk Moon Sword. If they couldn't complete the lord's order, they would be severely punished when they returned. On the other hand, if Gu Shixuan didn't know about this beforehand, getting the Silk Moon Sword would be a great achievement, but it wouldn't be easy. Even if he didn't get the Silk Moon Sword, he wouldn't be guilty.
Ji Qingxi immediately understood Helan Zhixuan's intentions and said,""Alright, it's better to avoid trouble. If we can get Silk Moon and Soul Star and gather all three swords, hmph, the Heavenly God Sect will be in a great position. Ai, the three world-shaking swords forged by the Demon Craftsman Master Yixue, the Wingsun, Silk Moon, and Soul Star, truly made the world envious.”
Helan Zhixuan said," You almost told them about the secret of the Winged Sun Sword in the Deity Cult. Lu Xiao is an idiot. He told them that the Sacred Light Sect has a Soul Star. You can't be as stupid as him, right?"”
"I was muddle-headed for a moment and didn't understand the pros and cons." Actually, we should pay more attention to that Lu Xiao. He might not be stupid at all.”
"Ji Qingxi, you don't like Lu Xiao?”Helan Zhixuan didn't know why, but she clearly didn't trust Lu Xiao either. But when Ji Qingxi suspected Lu Xiao, she couldn't help but want to speak up for him.
"Is that so? I don't deny it, because there's no one in the world that I like.”
"Not necessarily. Don't you like Yin Xianyin?”
"Right, did you notice that Yin Xianyin's words were strange? I keep feeling that she has another unspeakable secret.”
" We can't be sure if she's lying to us or not," Helan Zhixuan said." I think the truth will come out when we sneak into the palace." I didn't have the mood to quibble over her words. Let's go back to sleep."
Helan Zhixuan turned around and was about to take a step forward when Ji Qingxi's solemn voice came from behind.""Entering the palace is fraught with danger. You must be careful.”
Helan Zhixuan's steps felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. He was surprised. He turned his head and stared blankly at Ji Qingxi.
What did he just say? With a swoosh, there was only one voice echoing in Ji Qingxi's mind: "What happened to me?" Only then did he realize that this sentence could not help but blurt out. He had clearly always hated Helan Zhixuan for some things, so why would he suddenly say such a sentence?
Helan Zhixuan's expression was a little ugly as she said,""Ji Qingxi, you…care about me?”
"I…How could I possibly care about you? Because, because…" Ji Qingxi racked her brains to think of an excuse." It's just that if something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the lord when I return to the Divine Religion.”
Helan Zhixuan's expression returned to its usual calm,"Even if it is, you are the same. Don't die too early. You will disappoint me.”
At this moment, he realized that there was some kind of fate between the two of them. This kind of emotion was only buried deep in his heart and unwilling to express it. However, at the most important moment, it would involuntarily reveal itself.
Helan Zhixuan turned around, a happy smile flashing on her face.
Looking at Helan Zhixuan's disappearing figure, Ji Qingxi smiled knowingly.
That was when they were ten years old in the Divine Religion.
The four innocent children stood there obediently, looking at the man who had the right to decide their fate.
" Wind " Helan Zhixuan," Flower " Hua Nanwan," Snow " Ji Qingxi," Moon " Nangong Cheng.
In this man's eyes, they were like dolls. It was meaningless for ten-year-old children to fight each other. However, it was meaningful to the child. The winner would be rewarded with delicious food, and the loser would have to be left with an iron whip.
The flower versus the moon, the moon lost, the flower received a gift, and the moon received an eternal scar.
Wind against snow, they were actually tied. There was no winner, they were all losers.
Snow vaguely felt that Feng had held back. He seemed to be able to win, but why didn't he? Snow was stunned. From then on, she didn't say anything and regarded him as her lifelong confidant.
City gates, iron walls, stone walls.
They slowly entered and held their breaths as they looked around at this strange and fearful place.
In the Jin Dynasty, the branches on the streets were decorated with silk or red lanterns, making it a bustling scene.
Lu Xiao looked around. It seemed that the situation was very different from what he had imagined. "Didn't they say that the Jin Shuo Dynasty's monarch was tyrannical and the people were in dire straits? Why is it different from the rumors?"
"This is just the surface," Yin Xianyin said nonchalantly."Take a closer look.”
The clothes worn by the commoners on the streets were not as good as the ones wrapped around the branches. These nobles would rather hang them as decorations than give them to their people to ward off the cold. Helan Zhixuan's heart turned cold. This was an extremely cold dynasty. He could see that the pedestrians on the road had dull expressions and dull eyes.
The sound of gongs and drums could be heard from afar. Looking into the distance, a group of horses and chariots were slowly advancing. There were hundreds of cavalry and thousands of infantry. An exceptionally gorgeous carriage made of gold and decorated with jade was at the front. The people on the street quickly retreated to the sides.
Who was it? What an imposing formation! This was the first time Helan Zhixuan had seen such a magnificent scene.
Ji Qingxi pulled a passerby and asked,""What's going on?"
"It's the Queen! Her motorcade is patrolling the streets!" After saying that, the person hurriedly retreated to the side of the road.
Seeing that the commoners were panicking, they were as nervous and afraid as a demonic beast.
" Let's retreat to the side too," Yin Xianyin hurriedly said." Helan Zhixuan, Zhao Shizhe, prepare according to what I told you yesterday."”
"This one!" The two of them were dumbfounded. It seemed that they had said it easily yesterday, but they were stunned when they saw the aura today.
Yin Xianyin noticed their timidity and reminded them,""The consolation of the martial arts world is on us.”
When Zhao Shizhe heard this, he nodded resolutely. No matter what danger there was, he was willing to risk his life.
In a flash of white, she appeared. Helan Zhixuan also nodded decisively.
Yin Xianyin and the others quickly retreated to the side.
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe stayed on the way, waiting for the Queen's carriage to approach. Then, the two of them pulled out their swords and competed.
The convoy slowly approached. The guard riding at the front saw two people fighting in front and hurriedly shouted,"Get lost! If anyone in front dares to stop me, I'll kill them without mercy!”
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe didn't pay attention to him. They waved the swords in their hands and displayed their exquisite sword techniques.
The guard who was ignored said angrily,"You don't know what death is!"”
A pleasant voice came from a carriage wrapped in yellow silk.""What happened?"
The guard respectfully said," Your Majesty, there are two young men fighting in front of us. They are blocking the imperial carriage. We will go and chop off their heads now!"”After saying that, the guard took the other two guards and rode forward. However, before they could get close, the horses were shaken by the strong sword qi and lost their front hooves. The three horses ran wildly. Two of the horses abandoned the guards on their backs and ran towards the palace's convoy. Seeing the horses charging at them, the guards and the people on both sides panicked.
The guard beside the yellow silk carriage shouted,""Protect the queen!"
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe immediately stopped. They caught up with the two headless horses with astonishing speed and tried to restrain them. The horse was still struggling, but they pulled hard on the reins and tried to calm it down.
At this moment, Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe were drenched in sweat. The carriage door opened, and Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe looked up. A middle-aged woman with an elegant aura was sitting in the carriage. Her face was covered with a yellow veil, and she was wearing an elegant yellow dress. The dress was decorated with jade, orchids, phoenixes, and peonies. Her movements were elegant.
She was Yin Bishan? She had dark blue eyeliner and her eyes were seductive. When men saw her, they had the urge to hug her and play with her.
Helan Zhixuan's eyes did not have any makeup in them, and Zhao Shizhe was not bewitched by beauty. However, when the two noble young masters and Yin Bishan looked at each other, they also had this evil thought, which was really puzzling.
A group of guards on horseback surrounded Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe. A guard bowed to Yin Bishan and said,""Your Majesty, these two people startled the imperial carriage. How should we deal with them?”
Yin Bishan's eyes were full of spirit as she sized up Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe. In front of her were indeed handsome and handsome young men, and they were even rarer. Their martial arts and charisma were both toppling. Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe felt nervous in many ways when she looked at them directly.
Helan Zhixuan forced herself to calm down and smiled gently,"I didn't know that Your Majesty's carriage was here. Your Majesty, you were startled.”
Seeing the guard's murderous aura, Lu Xiao asked Yin Xianyin anxiously,""What should we do? Will it be okay?"
Helan Zhixuan's gentleness was unbearable for Yin Xianyin, but unfortunately, it was his gentleness towards that old woman. Hmph, Yin Xianyin started to regret letting Helan Zhixuan get close to Yin Bishan. It was too dangerous. "With Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe's charisma, not only will they be fine, they might even be enjoying themselves." Yin Xianyin said to Lu Xiao.”
Yin Bishan's eyebrows were as thin as willows, and her eyes were as bright as the moon. She had a womanly aura that could make men drunk. Although they couldn't see her entire face, Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe already felt that they couldn't hold it in. Yin Xianyin and Ji Qingxi saw this clearly.
Ji Qingxi craned her neck. The angle she was standing at was a problem, but she still couldn't see Yin Bishan's face. He was burning with anxiety. He had let those two brats off just like that! Seeing that Ji Qingxi was like an ant on a hot pan, Yin Xianyin mocked softly,""What are you doing? I've never seen a woman before!"
"I've seen her before, but I've never seen a woman like Yin Bishan!" Ji Qingxi replied softly.”
Yin Xianyin rolled her eyes at Ji Qingxi. He was the same man, an amorous young master!
Yin Bishan was deep in thought and forgot about Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe for a long time. These two were already drenched in sweat and were extremely afraid. Finally, Yin Bishan spoke to the guard in front of her,"Bring them into the palace with me." Then, the carriage door closed.
"Yes." The guards, Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe, said," The Empress has a decree. You all follow her into the palace.”
The guards and citizens of the Jin Shuo Dynasty were all shocked. Yin Bishan didn't kill them, but brought them into the palace? Could it be?
Helan Zhixuan and Zhao Shizhe heaved a sigh of relief and left with the convoy.
Ji Qingxi glanced at Yin Xianyin and retorted sarcastically,"Congratulations on your successful male charm. However, I'm worried that your Helan Zhixuan will soon become someone else's pet.”
" You're the one who's upset, aren't you?" Yin Xianyin said without changing her expression." You don't even have the chance to be my pet!"”
Lu Xiao and Ping Yuxiao lowered their heads in silence. Saying such words was not their forte.
"Let's go, we have our own mission," Yin Xianyin said.”
The four of them began their next move. Yin Xianyin wasn't very assured about Helan Zhixuan. Yin Bishan was different from Ying Yingqian. She was good at seducing people's souls. Sigh, she couldn't have harmed two of the most beautiful men in the martial arts world, right?
