Countless wandering souls wandered in the clouds. Their faces looked so familiar. Perhaps we had met in our previous life. The Yuan Ming Mirror gently raised its hand to touch the illusory bodies. However, every time it touched their bodies, the wandering souls would turn into ashes like smoke. It was like fear, but also like attachment. The Yuan Ming Mirror didn't understand why there was such a wonderful thing, but it didn't want to understand it in depth. Perhaps it was already very happy to just quietly exist in it. However, the world was always contrary to one's heart. A man in white suddenly descended from the Nine Heavens. He stepped on colorful clouds and held a staff in his hand. He was like an adjudicator in the sky. In an instant, he arrived in front of the Yuan Ming Mirror. The wandering souls around him fled. The adjudicator grabbed the collar of the Yuan Ming Mirror tightly and lifted it with a powerful force as if he was going to make a judgment in the sky. His white jade left hand glowed slightly, and his pure white sleeve fluttered."Phew" white light burst out. The adjudicator suddenly raised his hand. Endless flames surrounded the Yuan Ming Mirror…
"Ah!" The Yuan Ming Mirror suddenly stood up and suddenly realized that it was a nightmare. The few lines of cold sweat on its forehead were still emitting a sense of fear. Shards of ice. Oh right, where's the shards of ice? The Yuan Ming Mirror's mind was filled with a roar. Broken Ice, you can't die. Just as the Yuan Ming Mirror was about to get up to look for the broken ice, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its chest and could not help but fall down. It seemed like he had broken a few ribs.
"Don't move around. Your ribs are broken. The general finally fixed them for you. If you move around again, you might lose your life.”This voice was so familiar. The Yuan Ming Mirror quickly turned its gaze to the door, and a familiar face came into view. Her two big eyes were as bright as the stars, her long eyelashes were as beautiful as willow leaves, her exquisite nose was small and cute, and her moist lips were mesmerizing. Who else could it be but Mo Fan, who had given him the Three Hearts Pendant?
"Is this the General's Mansion?" The Yuan Ming Mirror expressed its confusion, but it immediately changed the topic." Where's the broken ice?”
Mo Fan did not answer the first question. Instead, he revealed a stiff smile and said,""Dead."
What? The Yuan Ming Mirror felt as if it had been struck by ten thousand bolts of lightning, and it instantly stiffened from head to toe.
Mo Fan looked at his numb face and said,""You seem to care about her a lot. You love her, right?”
The Yuan Ming Mirror was startled for a moment before replying calmly,"She's my sister. I should protect her from harm. Where was she now? "I want to find her, even if it's…" Halfway through his sentence, the Yuan Ming Mirror finally could not continue.
Mo Fan remained expressionless as usual, but a strange emotion flashed across his eyes. He slowly said,""She's not dead, but she's seriously injured. Nie Qianyun is healing her.”
Eh? He was not dead, and joy was written all over his face. The Yuan Ming Mirror forgot about his injuries and was about to get out of bed when a heart-wrenching pain suddenly spread to his heart, and he fell on the bed in a daze.
Mo Fan reached out to support his left arm. He looked impatient, but he was also concerned,""Didn't I tell you not to move? If you don't have the ability, then don't try to snatch the blue crystals.”
The Dark Fate Mirror came back to its senses. It sighed at how useless it was. How could it be that it had no self-control? Why did it believe the woman's words so easily? Was it because it was too concerned about Shattered Ice, or was there another reason? Besides, he had always kept people three miles away from him. Many people tried to get close to him, but they never had the chance. When Mo Fan went to help him up, it felt so natural, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Did he know her before? This sentence suddenly flashed across his mind. How could this be? The Ancient Ou Kingdom and the Ice Sea Kingdom were thousands of miles apart, so she definitely wasn't an old acquaintance of hers. Oh, Yuan Ming Mirror, ah, Yuan Ming Mirror, your self-control is still too weak. Stop finding excuses for yourself.
The Dark Fate Mirror raised its head after blaming itself for a while. It saw Mo Fan's head drooping down. His emerald eyes were staring right into his. The distance between the two was shortened by a lot when he raised his head, especially when their lips were only a paper's distance away. In addition, the girl's magnetic voice suddenly drifted past.”，The Yuan Ming Mirror was stunned, but it immediately reacted and quickly moved to the back. It aggravated his injuries, and he could not help but cry out in the end.
Mo Fan seemed to have read his mind, and stopped helping him up. He said coldly,"It hurts!" Serves you right!"
The Yuan Ming Mirror had already regained its composure and was no longer moved by her words. It actually insisted on getting off the bed and standing up.
"You can still get out of bed? Ha, I really underestimated you!"
The Yuan Ming Mirror ignored her and walked straight to the door.
Hmph, ignoring me. Mo Fan wasn't angry. He went back to his room. However, he could not help but say,"Turn left at the intersection in front. It's in the backyard. It's the one on the left. You should know the consequences of disturbing a cultivator's healing, right?”
The Yuan Ming Mirror didn't make a sound. It didn't stop and continued to walk forward.
"Father, is her injury serious?" Nie Huaying asked softly.
"I've already infused her with zhenqi, so she's fine.”The kind face that appeared at the Silver Bell Inn appeared again." By the way, how's the investigation going? Do you still not know who sent them here?”
"Yes." Nie Huaying sighed helplessly and said," They were lucky that they didn't meet the City Lord of Dark City, Dark Netherworld. In addition, someone secretly helped them and sent them to us. Because the Imperial Ancient Stone Mountain and the other two countries were still on good terms on the surface, we couldn't tear our faces apart and say that we didn't treat the injured. That's why they escaped death. Otherwise, they would have died."”
"Ying 'er." Nie Qianyun lowered his voice, and his expression became serious." Actually, I think it's better for the kyanite to go to the Ice Sea Kingdom than to stay in the Huanyu Kingdom.”
"Father?" Nie Huaying looked at Nie Qianyun in shock." Why did you leave the treasure to outsiders?”
Nie Qianyun was not surprised by his son's expression. He led him into the inner room and explained seriously,""In this day and age, the three kingdoms are evenly matched, and their strength is still considered equal. However, any one of these divine items like the Blue Crystal and Purple Crystal is comparable to a hundred thousand people.”
"If that's the case, how can we leave such an important treasure to others?”Nie Huaying asked in confusion.
Nie Qianyun's expression remained unchanged as he said patiently,""However, this ancient divine item is not as simple as we think. Rather than saying that we are fighting for it, it is more like they are choosing us. The more spiritual it is, the harsher the requirements for its master. If there is a slight mistake, it will not only cause the spiritual light of one or two people to bite back, but it will even cause the heavens to punish it. At that time, the price that this country had paid was no less than the 100,000 soldiers.”
"Ah! So powerful!" Nie Huaying could not believe her ears. A small stone could be so powerful. It seemed that this was not necessarily a gem, but more likely a disaster stone.
Nie Qianyun saw Hua Ying's thoughts and continued,""Firstly, secondly, it is said that the Kingdom of Ancient Europe has already obtained an amethyst stone. If this kyanite falls into the hands of either of our two countries, it will become their greatest threat. They will definitely take advantage of the fact that the kyanite has not yet been blessed to seize the opportunity to start a war.”
"Oh, I see. I understand!”Nie Huaying suddenly revealed an admiring smile." Father is indeed a battle-seasoned general. You can see everything more clearly than me!"”
Needless to say, Nie Qianyun and Nie Huaying also thought of the third possibility. If two of the countries were to start a war, it would be the best opportunity for the third country. Isn't it a good idea to kill three birds with one arrow?
Knock, knock, knock…A few soft knocks on the door suddenly disturbed the conversation between the father and son. Nie Qianyun calmly changed his voice and asked,""Who is it?"
"I am the Yuan Ming Mirror. Cough cough…My little sister was saved by you, and I am extremely grateful. I just want to see my little sister and see how her injuries are. I wonder if I'm disturbing you?" The Yuan Ming Mirror waited respectfully outside. Many maids and servants could not help but stop and take a few more glances.
Nie Qianyun waved his hand, and the two substitutes walked to the front door silently…
"Young Master Yuan, please come in!" Nie Qianyun smiled and led the mirror into the room. He bowed and entered. The Yuan Ming Mirror immediately saw his sister lying unconscious on the flower bed in front of him. He quickly walked forward to see her.
" Her injuries…" The Yuan Ming Mirror's eyes clearly showed urgent concern.
Nie Qianyun comforted him gently." Don't worry, Young Master Yuan. I've already used my Qi to heal her. She'll be fine. But she's seriously injured. She needs to rest for two more days to recover."”
The Yuan Ming Mirror suddenly stood up and replied gratefully,""Thank you for your help, General Nie. If there is anything that Ming Jing can help you with in the future, Ming Jing will definitely do his best.”
Nie Qianyun was stunned for a moment. He looked at the man in the front hall seriously. He couldn't pretend to look at him with such eyes and tone. He nodded slightly as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Hahahaha!" Nie Qianyun, who was in the front hall, naturally laughed heartily." Young Master Yuan, you're too polite. Young Master Yuan and his sister have come from afar to visit my General Manor, so they are my guests. How can I sit idly by when my guests are in trouble? Moreover, it was my butler who met you at the entrance of the General's Mansion. That was because your major injuries had basically been healed. The person Young Master Yuan should really thank was the person who saved you!”
"Oh?" The Yuan Ming Mirror was confused." I've always been cultivating in the Ice Sea Kingdom, but I've never made any friends in the Huanyu Kingdom?”
Nie Qianyun explained nonchalantly,""Young Master Yuan is valiant and has an extraordinary bearing. Naturally, he will attract the attention of many people. Of course, there is no lack of grass protectors who are secretly concerned about Young Master Yuan!”
"Oh?" A face suddenly appeared in front of the Yuan Ming Mirror. It was her?
" Father, I think it's getting late. The emissaries of the Gu Ou Kingdom are still waiting for us…" Nie Huaying, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. It could be said that the Dark Fate Mirror was only thinking about her sister and had actually forgotten that there was a quiet youth beside General Nie.
"And this is?" The Dark Fate Mirror carefully observed the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy beside Nie Qianyun and suddenly remembered something.
Nie Qianyun's sharp eyes quickly noticed this and answered calmly,""This is my son, Nie Ning. He has just turned seventeen.”
When the Yuan Ming Mirror heard this name, the familiarity it felt was scattered. It only said,"Young Master has a dignified appearance and a tough personality.”
"Hehe, thanks for Young Master Yuan's good words.”Nie Qianyun laughed as usual and said,""Young Master Yuan already knows that I have some guests in front of me, so I won't stay any longer. This was originally my daughter's boudoir, but my daughter accidentally went missing when she was four years old, so this became my only hope.”Nie Qianyun deliberately paused for a moment, and a sad expression appeared on his face. Then, he slowly said,""Young Lady Yuan can stay here, there is no need to be reserved, just treat it as your own home. I will take my leave first." With that, he bowed respectfully to the Yuan Ming Mirror and led Nie Ning forward.
Looking in the direction where Nie Qianyun had left, the Yuan Ming Mirror showed more respect to him.
"Sorry for the long wait!" Nie Qianyun walked into the hall with a smile. The three men from Gu Ou stood up calmly and bowed to him. One of them was calm and collected, while the other was as cold as ice. The last one was a man of few words who had just experienced the world. They were Yan Yan, Mo Fan, and Qian Yu from the Silver Bell Inn.
"The three of you must have come from afar for the matter of the blue crystal!”Nie Qianyun went straight to the point and spoke to the three of them.
When he looked at the three people, other than Thousand Rain, who was momentarily surprised, the other two didn't seem to be acting abnormally. Only Yan Yan stood up with a smile. He didn't panic at all as he slowly said,"The appearance of the blue crystal is bound to bring disaster. Everyone is afraid of its infinite power. Therefore, sealing the crystal is the hope of the world. However, since the crystal is magical, it must be difficult to seal it. We are here under the orders of the King of Guou Kingdom to assist the general in sealing the crystal to calm the people.”
"Oh, sealed crystal? Hmm, I've long heard that the King of Guou is diligent in government and cherishes the people. He has always placed the world first. Now that I've seen him today, he really lives up to his reputation.”Nie Qianyun cupped his hands and said," In that case, I'm very grateful. However, my men have only found out the approximate location of the crystals recently. If you really want to find them, please wait for two days. Then, we can work together and contribute to the stability of the world.”
Mo Fan and Thousand Rain stood up at the same time and said,""Gu Ou will definitely do his best, till the day he dies.”
"Then I can rest assured." Nie Qianyun heaved a sigh of relief." Please sit!”The three of them returned to their seats. Mo Fan was about to drink a cup of tea when he noticed the boy beside Nie Qianyun. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He reminded her of the father and son they met at the Silver Bell Inn." Is there really such a coincidence?"”Mo Fan muttered to himself, but he could not find anything wrong with it, so he did not say anything else. He only greeted her softly,""This young master must be General Nie's son!”
Nie Qianyun was confused. It was normal for the guests to ask more questions when they saw his child, but today, both of them seemed to be focusing on the child. Could it be that something had gone wrong with the general? Nie Qianyun's expression didn't change at all. He replied with a smile,""That's right, it's my child, Nie Ning! Come, Ning 'er, come and greet your big brother and big sister. This sister is Mo Fan, this is Big Brother Thousand Rain, and this is Big Brother Yan Yan. They're both incredible figures in the Guou Kingdom!”
"Oh!" Nie Ning deliberately dragged out his voice and pretended to be in admiration as he greeted the three of them one by one. This made the three uninvited guests feel like they had a bumper harvest. Fortunately, their willpower was not bad and they quickly recovered. Finally, he exchanged some pleasantries with Nie Qianyun and his son, then invited them to eat some food before sending them back to their rooms.
