Chapter 28
Once they finished their lunch, Su Ming and Zhao Ziyi walked side by side on the street.
"Su Ming, when are we going to set a date?”
When Zhao Ziyi recalled what Su Ming's aunt had said at the dining table, her pretty face blushed and she said with a wicked smile.
When Su Ming did not answer, Zhao Ziyi continued,"Su Ming, can you send me back to the palace?”
"Alright." Su Ming nodded.
The two of them walked towards the palace.
Su Ming frowned slightly. The woman in black who had covered her face with the bamboo hat was following him from afar.
"Alright, let's stop here."
At the entrance of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Ziyi's pretty face was filled with worry as she said.
"This humble servant will take his leave!"
Once Su Ming finished speaking, he turned around and left.
As she stared at Su Ming's back, Zhao Ziyi suddenly shouted,"Su Ming, today is my twenty-third birthday!”
When Su Ming heard that, he stopped in his tracks.
When she saw Su Ming stop, the corners of Zhao Ziyi's lips curled up. She smiled and said,"I'm going to accompany mother in the afternoon. Is there anything you want to say to me?”
"Happy birthday."
The moment Su Ming finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had not signed in for the day. He might as well give her what he earned from signing in today as a birthday present.
"Sign in!"
Su Ming mumbled.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. You have obtained the Full Moon Scimitar.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Celestial Phenomenon Pill.”
Su Ming flipped his wrist and brought out the full moon scimitar from the system's warehouse.
The simple and exquisite scabbard was about one foot and five inches long. Even without looking at the blade, just the scabbard alone was enough to make one unable to put it down.
Su Ming did not take out the scimitar to examine it carefully. He simply threw it over.
"In our hometown, we need to prepare a birthday present for our friend's birthday. This saber is called the Full Moon Scimitar.”
Zhao Zi Yi looked at the blade that was thrown at her, and her pretty face was slightly stunned. She caught it, and Su Ming's voice entered her ears.
As she watched Su Ming's back leave into the distance, Zhao Ziyi rubbed her scabbard. Her pretty face was slightly dazed. This was the first gift Su Ming had given her.
And it was a blade!
Zhao Ziyi stood there for a long time. With a slight shake of his body, the scimitar let out a crisp sound.
It was as if she was holding a crescent moon in her hand, and the white light on the blade flickered endlessly.
"What a beautiful saber!"
Zhao Ziyi's pretty face was filled with shock and immediately fell deeply in love with this saber in her hand.
"Full Moon Scimitar?"
"This name is really appropriate for it.”
After Zhao Ziyi finished speaking, he put the knife into the scabbard like a treasure, feeling extremely sweet in his heart.
......
Before Su Ming could return to the Northern Garrison Office, the masked woman in black came up to him.
"I can see that you don't have any aura flowing through your body. How did you know that I would win the competition in the arena?”
Nangong Ning Shuang said in a cold voice as she walked beside Su Ming.
It was precisely because she had heard Su Ming's words that she had immediately ended the match.
Otherwise, according to her thoughts, she was prepared to hone her martial arts techniques.
Su Ming did not stop walking and smiled.”
With her cultivation at the peak of Houtian first grade, how did she sense what I said from afar?
Su Ming frowned slightly.
"Guessed?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Nangong Ningshuang's pretty face under her black veil. Back then, she was clearly at a disadvantage in the arena. How did she guess that she would win?
When she saw Su Ming's calm expression, Nan Gong Ning Shuang nodded in her heart. This person before her was the person with the best Qi Nurturing skill since she entered Cheng Yang.
It seemed that nothing could make him feel great sorrow or joy.
Nangong Ningshuang had seen many people like this, but all of them were in their seventies or eighties, and their cultivation was unfathomable.
However, there was clearly no martial artist aura flowing from this person in front of him.
How could an ordinary person like him be so calm?!
Or perhaps the person in front of him actually had an extremely profound cultivation, but he had perfectly hidden it?
"Are you a martial artist?"
Nangong Ningshuang asked.
After asking, she regretted it. If the other party's cultivation was really unfathomable and he had tried his best to hide his cultivation.
She had only known him for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so why did he tell her?
When she saw that Su Ming did not answer her, she quietly let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
Nangong Ningshuang stopped at the door of the Northern Garrison Department and watched Su Ming walk through the door. A hint of struggle appeared on her pretty face under the black veil.
Then, as if she had made a decision, she flipped her wrist and five silver needles appeared in her hand.
With a flick of her finger, five silver needles shot towards Su Ming, locking down his vital points.
This attack contained her strength at the peak of Houtian first grade. If the other party was a martial artist with a profound cultivation, they would definitely find a way to dodge in this kind of life and death crisis.
If the other party was not a martial artist, she had her own way to make the silver needle retract before it pierced the other party.
However, what she did not expect was that the other party walked straight into the North Town Administrative Office as if he did not notice the silver needles flying towards him from behind.
"Is it really not?"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Nangong Ningshuang's pretty face. On her right index finger, which was covered by a large black robe, was a ring inlaid with a black gem.
The black gemstone suddenly emitted a dim light and rippled. The five silver needles stopped their momentum and fell into her hand according to their original trajectory.
Nangong Ningshuang put away the silver needles, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes as she turned around and left.
"What martial technique is this?"
Su Ming was slightly surprised when he walked into the Northern Garrison.
It was as if he could not take back what he had done, and this strange scene aroused his curiosity.
"It's like time has turned back."
A strange light appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he mumbled softly,"Interesting."
......
Late at night.
Su Ming sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed and sank into meditation.
Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air flew into the study room. Su Ming opened his eyes, and the silver snakes in his eyes that were as deep as pools quickly disappeared.
He immediately leaned over and covered himself with the blanket, pretending to be sound asleep.
It was Zhao Ziyi!
"What is she doing here in the middle of the night?”
Su Ming was slightly surprised.
At that moment, Zhao Ziyi was dressed in night clothing. Her figure was graceful and graceful. She arched her feet and pushed open the door to Su Ming's room without making a single sound.
This was bad.
Su Ming's heart thumped. He suddenly understood why the other party had come.
Indeed, Zhao Ziyi seemed to be confirming his guess.
She first took out a rope from her bosom and wrapped Su Ming's hands together before tying them up.
I only gave her a full moon scimitar, and she's prepared to devote herself to me?
You're still using force on me?
Su Ming looked at his hands that were tied behind his back, and the corners of his lips twitched.
In the next moment, Zhao Ziyi also crawled into the blanket. Her pretty face was a little red as she snorted,"Hmph, fool, it's not up to you tonight!”
Should I break free now?
Should I take the initiative?
For the first time in many years, Su Ming lost his sense of propriety.
The sound of clothes being undressed could be heard from under the blanket.
The fragrance of Zhao Ziyi's body, which was as fragrant as an orchid, entered his nose, and Su Ming felt his mouth go dry.
The corner of his mouth moved, and his hoarse voice sounded in the quiet room.
"Why don't you untie me? I don't like to be under others.”
Zhao Ziyi's movements suddenly paused, her eyes rippling with water, her pretty face covered with a red blush.
"Yes."
