Chapter 86
In the end, Master Xie still failed to trick his husband into giving him a kiss.
After the initial obedience and intimacy faded from his mind, the pink on the tips of Rong Jing's ears became more and more vivid, and in the end, it almost turned into a cherry red.
The long silver hair fell down, quietly covering the two red tips of the ears.
Rong Jing said calmly, "...your soul is still a little weak, but there is no substantial damage. Try to wear the soul-soothing talisman on your body and eat some soul-nourishing food in the next few days."
Although he was a little embarrassed and annoyed by Xie Xuan's overly aggressive attitude, Master Rong's professional ethics were still very good.
After instructing the patient on the precautions for nourishing his soul in the next few days, Rong Jing was ready to turn around and leave.
But his hand was still held tightly by Xie Xuanqing, their fingers fit closely together, and he was immediately held back in his steps.
Frowning slightly, Rong Jing glanced at their connected hands, "..."
"Sir, after you kissed me, do you want to leave like this?" Xie Xuanqing asked with his eyelashes drooping, holding the soul-soothing talismans in his hand.
Because of the dense and sharp pain coming faintly from the depths of his soul, Xie Xuanqing's face was actually not much better than Rong Jing's.
Even because of the previous kiss, Rong Jing held his breath for a while, and now his face had a light pink color, making him look healthier than him.
Her pale cheeks looked a little haggard in the dim light, and her thin lips were slightly pursed, with a hint of unspeakable grievance.
It was as if Rong Jing was a scumbag who turned against her after taking advantage of her, and he exuded a pitiful aura.
Rong Jing: “…”
Master Rong felt very regretful again.
Frowning, he pursed his lips and said, "You..."
"Sir hasn't told me yet." As Rong Jing spoke, Xie Xuan gently took his hand and leaned over.
He was taller than Rong Jing. He gently touched Rong Jing's forehead and asked in a low voice, "Sir, you kissed me just now... have you figured it out?"
"My husband and I, are we together?"
The voice is lower.
He clearly knew all the answers, yet he kept asking questions as if out of evil interest, coaxing Rong Jing to tell him the answers himself.
Xie Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, his deep gaze fixed on Rong Jing's extremely beautiful amber eyes, waiting for his answer.
He was too close.
Although not as intimate as the kissing of lips and teeth just now, it is equally intimate and ambiguous.
Their breaths intertwined, Rong Jing wanted to lower his eyes to avoid Xie Xuanqing's gaze, but for some reason, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and Rong Jing finally did not look away.
A strange and ambiguous atmosphere arose, surrounding and enveloping them.
After a moment of silence, Rong Jing finally spoke.
His expression was still as cold and indifferent as before, but the light pink on his cheeks revealed a hint of indescribable youthfulness and tenderness.
Seeing this, Xie Xuanqing's heart began beating heavily and chaotically.
"Yeah." A stern and pleasant voice came from the front, with a vague but firm meaning, "We are together."
The answer he had been looking for finally came as he wished. Xie Xuanqing's eyes felt hot for a moment, and after a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, he said in a calm voice, "Sir, I like you."
"——No, it should be I love you."
Whether as Xie Chong in the previous life, or Xie Xuanqing in this life, or in the next life, or the next life, Xie Xuanqing feels that his love for Rong Jing will never fade.
This was something engraved deep into his soul and had even become an instinct.
Rong Jing doesn't understand human love, but he doesn't completely understand it.
It's just that he was abandoned by his parents because of his silver hair. After he entered the master's door, the emotional expression between master and apprentice was also indifferent. So in the end, he seemed to have lost the ability and mood to build close relationships with others, and he had a distant attitude towards many emotions and even love matters.
However, Xie Xuanqing's emotions were so strong that they could even melt and break the layer of ice that he had unconsciously built up.
There seemed to be an extremely deep and broad dark color in those dark eyes, which, along with the intimate and low words of love in his ears, fell into Rong Jing's perception.
Compared with the previous kiss, Xie Xuanqing's attitude seemed to touch Rong Jing even more.
After a moment's silence, Rong Jing relaxed his attempt to break free from Xie Xuan's light fingers, then gently raised his chin and hesitantly touched his cheek against Xie Xuan's.
"……Um."
He couldn't even say the words to confess, but Xie Xuanqing couldn't help but smile with joy at the attitude of the response.
Xie Xuan lowered his head and took Rong Jing's hand, then gently kissed the back of Rong Jing's hand.
Originally, he wanted to end with such a beautiful kiss, but Xie Xuan lightly recalled the countless times Rong Jing had used these hands, the runes and formations drawn by these fingers, and the majestic and handsome appearance when he controlled countless spiritual powers. He couldn't help but move his position and kissed each of Rong Jing's fingertips.
Rong Jing: “…”
The atmosphere was swept away.
Rong Jing felt the cool touch on his fingertips, which was not uncomfortable but had a strange and slightly cool touch, and he couldn't help but move.
This time, he successfully pulled his fingertips out of Xie Xuanqing's palm.
Xie Xuan loosened the restraint on Rong Jing's fingertips, and after receiving a response, he looked a little unusually excited.
However, this little excitement was hidden beneath his extremely cold and calm demeanor and was not very obvious.
"Are you hungry, sir? Take a rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something."
Xie Xuanqing always remembered that Rong Jing was injured. Although he didn't know whether the hospital could treat the metaphysical injuries, he still asked.
Rong Jing shook his head.
The damage to the Heavenly Master's foundation caused by using his heart blood and over-extracting his spiritual power cannot be completely treated by modern medicine. Rong Jing has now temporarily suppressed the surging blood, but if he wants to recover completely, he still needs a certain amount of time to recuperate.
After getting Rong Jing's answer, Xie Xuan nodded slightly, then reached out to help Rong Jing put the long hair behind his ear, and said, "Then... Sir, go and have a good rest first."
Although she was still a little unaccustomed to the overly intimate actions between the two, Rong Jing did not dodge Xie Xuanqing's fingertips, but let him lift up the long hair, then slowly lowered her eyes and replied: "... Yeah."
Xie Xuanqing's smile deepened.
But when she thought of the injuries on Rong Jing's body, that smile was tinged with a hint of displeasure.
... Yuan Xiu.
Xie Xuanqing chewed over the name gently in his heart, then withdrew his thoughts, sent Rong Jing back to the room, and then turned around and went downstairs.
As early as when Rong Jing came back, Butler Chen called to inform the servants and chefs of the Xie family who had left the villa earlier to come back.
At this time, Xie Xuanqing came down from upstairs and happened to see Butler Chen instructing the servants about their work in the past few days.
Xie Xuan glanced around and then called out, "Butler Chen."
When Butler Chen heard his voice, he quickly stopped talking to the servant, raised his hand to let her go, then turned around and waited for Xie Xuanqing's instructions.
"Is the chef back?" Xie Xuanqing thought about it and asked.
Butler Chen: "Master, everyone is back."
In fact, the chefs didn’t know what had happened exactly. They only knew that something seemed to be happening in the host’s house in the past two days and they needed to leave.
Since the monthly salary was paid anyway, they took advantage of this time to spend two days with their family.
Coming back now, I have no dissatisfaction.
The chef was quickly called over by housekeeper Chen. He was also an old man who had worked in Xie's villa for several years. Standing in front of Xie Xuanqing, he was still a little nervous: "Sir, you called me?"
"Yeah." In front of people other than Rong Jing, Xie Xuanqing's expression and posture were always cold and oppressive.
Especially at this moment, he awakened the memories of his previous life as Xie Chong. Decades of life as an emperor had left a deep mark on him, and at this moment, he unconsciously revealed a hint of power.
After answering the chef indifferently, Xie Xuanqing asked again, "Is there anything that can replenish qi and blood and has a warming effect on the human body?"
That's a lot.
The Xie family could afford the price, so the chef was naturally not an ordinary person. Although he was a little nervous when facing Xie Xuanqing, his professionalism was extremely high. After a simple pause, he listed a long list of things that met this requirement.
Xie Xuanqing: "..."
He didn't expect there were so many suitable things, but considering Rong Jing's taste, Xie Xuanqing still said: "Then I'd like to trouble you to make something that warms the blood and tastes salty tonight."
The taste is salty and fresh...Isn't this the preference of Master Rong Tian?
The chef's mind was full of ideas when he heard Xie Xuanqing's instructions, but he responded calmly, "Okay, sir."
Nodding slightly, Xie Xuan gestured to the chef to prepare first, then he got up and went back to his room and took a shower in the bathroom again.
Although the room was cleaned every day, after lying on the floor for so long...
Xie Xuanqing felt a little dissatisfied when he recalled that he had exchanged the first kiss in two lives with his beloved husband in such a frivolous and even casual outfit and posture.
But he couldn't help but smile.
It was the time when dusk and night met. The last ray of orange-yellow sunset glow faded away, and a cold, elusive moonlight suddenly fell into the corridor through the huge glass window.
So Xie Xuanqing stretched out his hand and received the moonlight.
After taking a shower, Rong Jing's complexion finally returned to normal.
The pain caused by using his heart blood was not severe, but it was a little uncomfortable when he used his spiritual power.
After finding the talisman he had drawn casually before and absorbing some spiritual power to control the injuries in his body, Rong Jing sat on the bed and belatedly recalled everything that had happened this afternoon.
It had clearly only been a few hours since Rong Jing came out of the Lan family's secret realm, but he always felt like a long time had passed.
Various details of the battle with Yuan Xiu replayed in his mind. Rong Jing couldn't help but frown when he thought of the vitality that had been devoured and transformed by it.
Although Yuan Xiu's cultivation had been greatly weakened by Xie Xuanqing's evil spirit and the burning of karma fire.
But after all, it is a top-level heavenly master who was able to successfully plot against the way of heaven hundreds of years ago, and even plotted against Rong Jing. There is no telling how many tricks it has in its hands. If it is really allowed to escape for a period of time, no one knows what will happen in the end.
And the Way of Heaven... the heavenly tribulation caused by Yuan Xiu also descended upon the Lan family's secret realm. After breaking the Heaven-Slaying Formation, Rong Jing was able to successfully find where Yuan Xiu and the others were, which was guided by the aura brought by the thunder tribulation sent down by the Way of Heaven.
Judging from the thunder tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao, its power has indeed been weakened a lot. Compared with the heavenly punishment that the other party sent down on him hundreds of years ago, Rong Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
The continuous thunderclouds stretched for more than a thousand miles, the roaring thunder sounded like the roar of a wild beast, and the falling lightning was as dense as raindrops.
Rong Jing thought about how he had managed to withstand those dozens of lightning bolts, but in the end, the Heavenly Dao summoned a purple lightning bolt.
I really wanted to chop him to death.
Just as Rong Jing was thinking this, there was suddenly another dull thunder in the sky. The rolling clouds were as light as smoke, and the moonlight easily passed through the obstruction of the dark clouds and fell in front of his bed.
The thunder was still coming muffled, not urgent, more like someone explaining something in a muffled voice.
Rong Jing: “…”
Speaking of which, after he came here, Tiandao only appeared a few times at the beginning. Later on, it would only appear when he wanted to use the Zhoutian Gua to warn him.
But in the end it was just a warning.
At first, Rong Jing didn't quite understand why the Heavenly Dao was unwilling to let him directly settle the cause and effect of Xie Xuanqing's life. It was not until he met Yuan Xiu in the Lan family's secret realm that he guessed what the Heavenly Dao was thinking.
It, or He, was deliberately using this to induce Rong Jing to participate in the life-exchanging array and even Yuan Xiu's plan.
The conspiracy he suffered in the past weakened his power too much, and Yuan Xiu had accumulated too much resentment and evil energy in the past few hundred years.
The Heavenly Dao probably didn't have much energy left to descend upon the human world again, so it set its sights on Rong Jing, who happened to be reborn into this era.
No...his rebirth into this era was most likely not a coincidence.
Just now he forgot to ask what Xie Chong had done in his previous life, and why Yuan Xiu was so diligent and determined to cooperate with Xie Xuanzhong even at the risk of being discovered by the special department in advance, in order to obtain the blood of Xie's bloodline and stimulate Xie Chong's memory.
Rong Jing frowned, intuitively feeling that this matter was related to his rebirth in this era, and also to Yuan Xiu's purpose.
The thunder in the sky was still rolling, as if confirming his guess.
There was a knock on the door. Rong Jing paused for a moment. Then he put the towel in his hand aside and got up to open the door.
Xie Xuanqing, who had also scrubbed his entire body, stood at his door. The home clothes he was wearing looked simple yet not ordinary. The soft fabric vaguely outlined his smooth and beautiful body lines, as if even every wrinkle had been carefully calculated for perfection.
Rong Jing blinked slowly, and saw Xie Xuan lowering his head slightly. His slightly long black hair was thick and shiny, as if it had been specially styled. Under the dim light, it made his face look even more handsome and handsome.
"Sir, dinner is ready." Xie Xuan said with a slight smile.
"...Yeah." Rong Jing's gaze subconsciously lingered on him for a moment, and he nodded hesitantly, and replied in a low voice, "I understand."
Maybe he was overthinking it?
Rong Jing watched Xie Xuan turn slightly, close the door and walk out, frowning and thinking.
Xie Xuanqing could feel Rong Jing's gaze falling on him from time to time, and his fingertips couldn't help but clench for a moment.
Although such an action is a bit... childish, it is a rare opportunity to achieve success in two lifetimes. Whether it is Emperor Zhao Xie Chong or Xie Xuanqing, the head of the Xie family, they can't help but want to leave a better image in front of Rong Jing.
Xie Xuan calmly tugged at the hem of his home clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles that had been accidentally pressed out. Then he cautiously quickened his pace and walked side by side with Rong Jing.
A faint sandalwood scent mixed with a hint of freshness came from beside him, and Rong Jing finally caught a glimpse of something strange: "You..."
Would anyone spray perfume in their home clothes after taking a shower?
Xie Xuanqing: "Huaiyu."
Subconsciously knowing what Rong Jing wanted to say, Patriarch Xie spoke first: "I think the smell of this perfume is very similar to the one you made for me in my previous life. Do you feel it?"
Rong Jing: “……?”
I didn't really pay attention to it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems to be somewhat similar.
Xie Xuan lowered his eyes slightly: "After you left in my previous life, Huaiyu, I have never been willing to use that box of incense again. I almost forgot the smell."
However, before he died, he asked someone to take out the box of incense and relight it.
A faint fragrance filled the hall, and the old emperor saw the appearance of his still young lover through the fragrant mist.
He left with a smile.
Although Xie Xuanqing did have a hint of pity in his words, when he actually mentioned this matter, there was also a hint of regret and relief in his tone.
He felt sad and regretful that he never saw Rong Jing again in his previous life, but he was also glad that they finally met again in this life.
Rong Jing was silent for a moment, then said: "Next time... I'll make you another box."
Xie Xuan curled his lips slightly: "Then I'll trouble Huaiyu...Sir."
Having successfully diverted Rong Jing's attention, Xie Xuanqing finally stopped worrying about whether his image was perfect.
After pulling out the chairs in the restaurant, Xie Xuanqing watched Rong Jing sit down, then he walked over and sat down opposite Rong Jing.
There were only two of them and the chef didn't prepare much.
Four dishes and a soup were neatly placed on the table. The portions were not small, but not too much either.
Xie Xuanqing naturally took the soup bowl in front of Rong Jing and served him a bowl of yam and wolfberry pigeon soup. The pigeon was stewed very tenderly, with its skin and bones falling apart. The meat juice melted into the soup, and the greasy taste was wiped out by the fragrance of the yam.
It is fresh, sweet and mellow. Just one bowl can warm up your entire stomach and even your whole body.
The chef had been serving Rong Jing alone for some time, so he naturally knew his taste.
At this moment, Rong Jing lowered his head and took a sip, and the faint paleness between his brows disappeared.
While he was slowly drinking a bowl of soup, Xie Xuanqing just happened to have served the rice and handed it to him.
The memories of two lives exist in his mind, and Xie Xuanqing understands Rong Jing even more thoroughly. Whenever he picks up food with chopsticks, what he picks up are Rong Jing's favorite things.
Master Rong: “…”
Butler Chen stood not far away and watched silently, then turned his eyes away.
Fortunately, fortunately, in the past half month, his attitude towards Rong Jing has always been good.
The finely chopped mutton is blanched in water with ginger and fried with eggs. It is tender and fresh without any smell of mutton.
The eggs are cooked to the perfect degree, with the rich aroma of the eggs still lingering. When you put them into your mouth together with the shredded lamb, the texture is soft and tender yet a little flexible, which is very special.
Rong Jing took one bite and knew it was his taste. He looked at Xie Xuanqing who seemed to be eager to serve him some food, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then he also took some beef and leek and sent them over.
Xie Xuan looked at the chopsticks and leeks: "...Thank you, sir."
"Yeah." Rong Jing responded lightly, thinking, maybe lovers really need to care about each other like this?
Although I'm still not used to it.
Xie Xuanqing looked at him and saw that he was a little stiff, but he still responded to him the way he treated him, even though Rong Jing put beef with leeks in his bowl...
He still lowered his head and ate seriously.
Xie Xuanqing wanted to tell Rong Jing that he didn't have to think about responding to him all the time, but he looked carefully at Rong Jing's expression. Although he was indeed a little confused and uncomfortable, there was no reluctance at all.
He was learning how to feel the expression of human love in his own, somewhat clumsy way.
So in the end, Xie Xuanqing still didn't say that.
After dinner, it’s still early.
Xie Xuanqing had just finished dealing with most of his affairs this morning, so he was not in a hurry to continue dealing with those daily affairs.
Rong Jing is also on rest during this period, and the Lan family's affairs are being handled by a special department, so there is nothing to do at the moment.
Xie Xuanqing watched his aunt put away the dishes, then glanced at Rong Jing who was sitting on the chair and suddenly frowned, as if he had something to say to him, and smiled slightly: "Sir, do you want to go out for a walk together?"
I didn't notice it before, but after I walked out, I saw that a full moon had appeared in the sky without me noticing.
The cool and bright moonlight fell on the flower beds in front of the villa, illuminating the dew-covered flowers.
The faint scent of flowers blended with the breath of the people around them. Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing walked in the garden for a while before asking, "In your last life...what did you do?"
His figure was made to look even taller and thinner under the moonlight, and his long silver hair was shrouded in a faint glow, making it difficult to tell whether it was the light from the setting moon or he himself was just that dazzling.
Xie Xuanqing looked at Rong Jing's face in shock for a moment, and then realized what he had just asked.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Xie Xuan smiled and asked, "What are you asking about? Are you asking about how I made a deal with the Heavenly Dao to exchange for your soul?"
Rong Jing: “…”
He was more concerned about the latter question, but what he asked was: "...joint burial?"
Xie Xuanqing's gaze fell on him, his smile still unchanged, and he said "hmm" in a deep and undisguised manner.
Not only were they buried together in the imperial mausoleum, but they were also buried in the same tomb chamber and the same coffin.
Before his death, Xie Chong left a will to his nephew who was raised by him. There was no need to put many precious burial objects in his tomb. It would be enough to put the small green wooden statue he made by himself and the things left by Rong Jing in his tomb.
He had no concubines in the harem, nor did he have any biological offspring. He had raised his nephew since he was young, and he had long regarded him as a father figure, so he would naturally follow his wishes and handle the matter properly.
Xie Xuanqing recalled the look on his nephew's face when he knew his feelings for Rong Jing, and he didn't seem to be shocked.
"When my father chose me, I knew that he would never marry into the harem again."
Said the young nephew.
There is only one reason why a man, a young man who becomes an emperor would make such a choice.
He already had someone in his heart, and that person occupied an extremely high position in his heart and even in his life, so much so that after he couldn't get the other person, he was unwilling to look for anyone else.
And his uncle, his father, has been working hard for the people of the world since he was a young man, and no woman has ever stayed by his side.
Anyone who could win the heart of his cold-tempered father must not be a mediocre person.
The prince did not think about it that way at first, but when he saw Xie Chong frequently meeting with the Heavenly Master and finally going deep into the mountains in person just to invite out a secluded sect, he had a vague guess.
Xie Chong's subsequent actions confirmed his guess.
He actually directly named the long-deceased national teacher as the ancestor of metaphysics, and had people spread the other party's achievements in participating in the dragon veins to all parts of the world.
All the people worship him, and the people support him. Xie Chong actually let the people put a long-dead state teacher above himself.
Such behavior is simply insane!
However, Xie Chong's methods were strong enough, and his control over the court was extremely detailed. Even if some ministers strongly opposed it, they all retreated under Xie Chong's tough attitude.
With the green wood nourishing the soul, the prayers of the people, and the order of the tenth emperor, under the planning of Master Rong Jing, Xie Xuan easily made a deal with the way of heaven during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
But at that time, no one knew whether it was because the way of heaven was too weak, or because people had nothing to do with their past lives after death. After Xie Chong entrusted his fate to others, he only got the result that his soul was intact but he had no connection with his past life.
But just the fact that Rong Jing's soul was still in this news was enough to offset everything.
It's inevitable to feel regret, as it's really impossible for us to see each other again in this life.
"In fact, I also left a decree to make him queen." Xie Xuanqing briefly mentioned what he had done before, and suddenly said, "But I think the prince thought it was too shocking, so he didn't issue it."
When he was alive, he wanted to issue the imperial edict countless times. However, he did not care about his own reputation, but had to consider whether Rong Jing would have enough willpower after condensing his soul.
If the people of the world misunderstand Rong Jing because of this, it will delay important matters.
It was not until before his death that he learned from Rong Jing's master that Rong Jing's soul seemed to have been reincarnated that he selfishly took out the imperial edict and left it to the prince.
However, judging from the historical books that have been handed down to the present day, the prince probably did not dare to promulgate it.
Yes, as an emperor, he had no harem and no bloodline, and some people had already speculated about something in private. Once this imperial edict was issued, it might really cause some old-fashioned gentlemen to bleed in the hall in front of the prince.
He didn't mind these things, but the prince had never been to the battlefield like him, so he should be considerate of the child.
When talking about his arrangements back then, Xie Xuanqing's face finally revealed a hint of his former spirit.
Rong Jing looked at his profile. He was originally a little dissatisfied with the so-called title of queen he just mentioned, but now he didn't know what to say.
His impression of Xie Chong only stayed before he reached adulthood. Although he met Xie Xuanqing again in this life, it was only six years at most.
But what about Xie Chong? In order to find out why he was reborn, Rong Jing checked the history books and found out that Xie Chong lived to be over sixty years old.
This was considered a long life at the time.
But Rong Jing listened to the melancholy and regret faintly revealed in Xie Xuanqing's words at this moment, and wondered for a moment whether such a longevity was really a good thing for Xie Chong back then?
Although Xie Xuanqing had been coaxing Rong Jing to respond to him before, there were not many times when he actually revealed the strong and deep emotions in his heart.
But standing in the moonlight at this moment, the servants and housekeeper of the villa were all resting, and it was so quiet around them that there were only the two of them. Rong Jing looked at Xie Xuanqing's calm expression when he spoke, but he could feel the other person's surging emotions hidden under his calm appearance.
"Didn't you invite me to ascend the throne together?" After a moment of silence, Rong Jing said, "Perhaps when others see the dragon throne, they will think of me sitting on it side by side with you."
His expression was still as indifferent as ever, but his clear and pleasant voice seemed to be lowered a little, with a hint of imperceptible shyness and comfort.
Xie Xuanqing didn't actually think that much, but Rong Jing suddenly coaxed him like this -
To outsiders, it may not be considered as coaxing, but it is enough to allow the head of the Xie family to climb up the ladder.
"You are right, sir." Xie Xuan gently pressed Rong Jing's hand, smiled and whispered, "The only person who can share the throne and the country with Emperor Zhao is Rong Guoshi."
However, when talking about his previous life, Xie Xuanqing also remembered some things about Yuan Xiu.
At that time in the Lan family secret realm, Xie Xuanqing was in the body of a soul. Because the spell used by Yuan Xiu was too overbearing, he was unconscious. In addition, the statue in which Yuan Xiu was inhabited was partially burnt by thunder, so he was unable to recognize the other party for a while.
But later, when Yuan Xiu grabbed him and threatened Rong Jing, Xie Xuanqing finally regained consciousness under the impact of the evil spirit, and naturally recognized the appearance of Yuan Xiu who was so close to him.
"Back then, your master's school also had some doubts about why the Heavenly Dao suddenly attacked. After I learned of the doubts, I also asked someone to investigate."
Xie Chong's destiny is to be an emperor for ten generations. Everything goes smoothly for him, which is invaluable. Even the top heavenly master does not dare to act against him easily.
In addition to the power he holds, if he wants to find out something, it will be very easy.
Yuan Xiu's previous plan was naturally exposed to Xie Chong's eyes.
His strength is indeed extraordinary. If they really compete, he may be only slightly weaker than Rong Jing.
But he is stubborn and self-righteous, and has a high opinion of himself, and has no empathy for ordinary people who have no talent for cultivation.
Before Rong Jing came to the Xie family, the Xie family had already considered terminating the cooperation with the other party.
After Rong Jing arrived, the Xie family was even more inclined to cooperate with Rong Jing.
After all, although Xie Chong had a noble fate, he was also an ordinary person. The Xie family's rebellion was more for the people of the world who had suffered greatly from the old dynasty.
For someone with Yuan Xiu's temperament, it's not very suitable.
After the Xie family expressed their intentions implicitly and presented generous gifts, Yuan Xiu disappeared.
When he appeared again, he had joined another family that was starting a rebellion.
His methods were not much inferior to Rong Jing's, and the power of that family was several times greater than that of the Xie family. For a time, everyone thought that the throne would eventually belong to that family.
Xie Xuanqing didn't care too much about these things, but that family gradually blurred its own purpose in the process of the rebellion. From protecting the people in the beginning, they gradually fell into the trap of using the souls of the people as food for the attacking evil spirits. This was something that the Xie family could not accept.
"Sir, you probably remember it, right? In that battle, you broke the opponent's evil ghost formation and directly converted all the souls. The Heavenly Master who was seriously injured by you was Yuan Xiu." Xie Xuanqing said.
The reason why Yuan Xiu hated Rong Jing was also because of this battle.
Xie Xuanqing recalled that before the other party failed, he had used his own means to send a paper crane to him, vowing that as long as he terminated the cooperation with Rong Jing, he would tell him all the cards that family had in this battle.
In exchange, the Xie family will also have to worship him again.
Xie Chong’s answer at that time was to simply burn the paper crane.
How could Yuan Xiu, who treated human life as worthless, be compared with his A Jing? It was just a battle, so what if he didn't have the trump card?
The children of the Xie family are never afraid of fighting.
The final result was that Yuan Xiu was defeated. He was defeated by his magic and his own character.
However, Xie Xuanqing did not expect that the other party would remember this matter for so long, until the end, even at the risk of being seriously injured, he was determined to plot against Rong Jing.
Thinking of Yuan Xiu's attitude after he and Rong Jing's master teamed up to lure Yuan Xiu out and captured him, Xie Xuanqing's expression turned slightly cold.
Yuan Xiu cared so much about his reputation being suppressed by Rong Jing, so he would simply erase the other party's existence. From now on, the name of Yuan Xiu would no longer appear in history books or other places.
As Rong Jing was the imperial teacher of the Dazhao Dynasty, it was natural that the name of Dazhao, which he had promoted and established, would be passed down.
After making these arrangements, Xie Chong also ordered people to execute Yuan Xiu directly. Although there was a Heavenly Master present at that time, he planned to collect Yuan Xiu's soul after his death. However, he had made preparations when he plotted against Rong Jing. This time, he relied on his own powerful magic to escape the Heavenly Masters' confinement.
Speaking of which, Yuan Xiu seemed to know that what he did was not tolerated by the world, and he was extremely cautious about the arrangements after his death.
It was like this in the previous life, and it is also like this in this life, in the secret realm of the Lan family.
Rong Jing didn't really remember the battle, but now that Xie Xuanqing mentioned it, he thought about it and frowned: "Was he the one who drove those evil spirits to do things in that battle?"
Xie Xuanqing: “Yeah.”
Yuan Xiu was a cunning and sinister person, and he had an inexplicable obsession and hatred towards Rong Jing. Xie Xuanqing told him about his past life at this time, also wanting to remind Rong Jing to be cautious during this period.
Even though his husband has repeatedly said that his injuries are not serious and Yuan Xiu's cultivation has been greatly reduced, a desperate dog will still jump over the wall. What if Yuan Xiu feels that there is no hope for him to cultivate a physical body, and instead acts like a mad dog and does things recklessly?
His worries were not without reason. Rong Guoshi was not the kind of person who insisted on his own ideas and would not listen to advice. He frowned and nodded: "I understand."
