Chapter 198 (Added Character: Six Kingdoms' Coral)
Seeing that Yu Sui disappeared as soon as he entered the celestial sphere, Mei Liangyu put away the Wind-Listening Ruler and frowned as he asked Xing Chun, "Where is he?"
Xing Chun walked around the spot where Yu Sui had disappeared, scratched his head, and replied, "She's entered the Star Sea."
Mei Liangyu stared at him suspiciously.
Xing Chun raised his hand as if to swear: "I've really entered the Star Sea."
After saying that, he pointed to the blue dot of light underwater and said, "Isn't that her location? Don't panic. Disciples who come here to view the 'Lingxian Diagram' will enter their own star sea to comprehend it. You, a Yin-Yang School disciple without a star sea, shouldn't be too anxious."
After Xing Chun finished speaking, he added, "Besides seeing the Lingxian Map, I also wanted to see what the Nine Provinces Star Sea looks like, but she went in first by herself."
Mei Liangyu: "What are you looking at when it comes to other people's starry seas?"
Xing Chun chuckled and pointed at Mei Liangyu, saying, "Don't tell me you're not curious about what the Nine Provinces Star Sea looks like—that's just hypocrisy."
Mei Liangyu said without changing his expression, "I'm not curious."
Xing Chun: "Hypocritical!"
The Nine Provinces and the Starry Sea encompass heaven, earth, sun, moon, and the vast universe.
Yu Sui looked up at the blazing sun hanging in the sky. That familiar feeling made her heart tremble. The small flame deep in her consciousness was now watching her from the distant horizon.
All the power she possessed was powerless against the presence of the strange fire.
In the book "Ling Xian" by the Yin-Yang school, it is mentioned that "the sun is like fire, and fire is external light," which means that the sun is like a ball of fire.
The weather is yang, and the earth's energy is yin. The interaction of yin and yang nourishes all things.
Light shines on the earth; the sun's existence gives life to all things.
Thus, the starry sea gained time; the stars continuously rose above Yu Sui's eyes, returning to their proper places. As the sun and moon alternated, Yu Sui saw the stars in the night sky:
It is a complete "Lingxian Diagram".
Azure Dragon of the East, Vermilion Bird of the South, White Tiger of the West, and Black Tortoise of the North.
They occupy the four directions, taking the stars as their carriers to manifest different appearances. Just like the painting in "Lingxian Tu", the Azure Dragon's outstretched claws and the Vermilion Bird's wings are reflected in Yu Sui's eyes along the lines of the stars. In the light and shadow, they seem to be about to break away from the sea of stars and soar into the universe.
Ever since Yu Sui first saw the mountains, he has been able to glimpse the changes in the stars through his Heavenly Eye.
It took nearly ten years of stargazing to witness the return of the three thousand stars to their proper positions.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to analyze the operation of the mountain.
Standing on the earth, Yu Sui could feel the cool night air, the wind blowing in his face, the smell of the soil, and the essence and appearance of all things became more and more concrete, real, and diverse as day and night alternated within the Nine Provinces Star Sea.
She adapted to the changes in the Nine Provinces Star Sea and became familiar with the star power that was also testing her.
Seek survival through all means.
At this moment, the sun, moon, and stars have returned to their proper places, yet the celestial phenomena and terrestrial phenomena differ greatly. The heavens are bustling with activity, while the earth is barren, devoid of anything except soil.
The universe is vast and the heavens and earth are immense. The sun and moon, yin and yang, give rise to two energies, which in turn transform into the five elements and give rise to all things.
Only by understanding the essence of all things can one break through chaos and achieve balance between Yin and Yang.
Yu Sui has everything in the Nine Provinces Star Sea, except for the myriad phenomena on the ground to maintain the balance of power in the Star Sea.
Countless days and nights passed before Yu Sui finally saw a green sprout growing from the wasteland.
The alternation of the sun and moon represents time.
Once the concept of "time" was established in the universe, all things began to grow and change in accordance with the rules of time.
Since it is her Nine Provinces Star Sea, does she also control the flow of time?
Deep down, Yu Sui believed this to be true, but everything before him was "born from Qi," and sometimes, to control "Qi," he had to make it concrete.
She could feel the passage of time, but she couldn't control it.
It was impossible to tell whether time passed slowly or quickly; after more than three hundred cycles of the sun and moon, the green shoots that sprouted from the cracks in the ground remained unchanged.
The chaos of the Nine Provinces Star Sea has not yet been broken, and the balance of Yin and Yang is disrupted. Yu Sui cannot stay here for long. If he stays here for too long, he will feel that his "Qi" is being consumed in a lot, and his mind will become dizzy.
When she felt exhausted, she withdrew from consciousness and returned to reality from the Nine Provinces Star Sea.
More than an hour has passed since Yu Sui entered the Nine Provinces Star Sea.
The stars within the celestial sphere were slowly changing. Disciples who came here to study and cultivate would immerse themselves in the "Spiritual Chart" within the sphere, and the twinkling blue stars represented the disciple's position.
Yu Sui did not enter the "Lingxian Diagram" voluntarily; it was just that when she saw the bright star map on the water, the starry sea of the Nine Provinces deep in her consciousness resonated with it.
When she came out, she felt as if the stars had turned upside down, and she had come down from the sky to the ground. Xing Chun and Mei Liangyu were squatting in a row next to her, playing with the wind-listening ruler, chatting with each other from time to time. They were stunned when they saw Yu Sui come out.
Mei Liangyu was the first to put away the Wind Listening Ruler and ask her, "How are you feeling?"
Yu Sui rubbed her eyes and said, "I feel a little dizzy."
Xing Chun also stood up and said, "It's normal. Your star sea is in a chaotic state, with yin and yang out of balance and the five elements unstable. Staying there for too long will definitely make you dizzy and lightheaded. Don't rush, come and rest for a while."
Mei Liangyu led Yu Sui to sit down next to the hibiscus tree at the edge, where there were stone tables and chairs for people to rest.
Yu Sui sat down next to the table and asked Mei Liangyu how long he had been waiting outside. Mei Liangyu replied that it had been about an hour.
"Has that been quite a while?" Yu Sui asked.
Mei Liangyu: What do you think?
Yu Sui said, "Before, I couldn't stand it after a short while of immersing my consciousness in the sea of stars, but today I was able to stay there for more than an hour."
Mei Liangyu casually praised, "You've made great progress."
Xing Chun explained, "The Hun Tian Yi Chang is just like the Nine Earths of the Military Strategists; it can help disciples balance the Yin and Yang of the Star Sea."
Finally, he added, "However, you could only stay inside for a quarter of an hour before, but today you were able to stay for more than an hour. Even with the help of the Hun Tian Yi Chang (a type of celestial instrument) to stabilize the situation, you have indeed made great progress."
Yu Sui gladly accepted their praise.
She spoke of the changes in the Nine Provinces Star Sea, omitting the existence of the Strange Fire.
When Xing Chun heard Yu Sui say that the complete "Lingxian Diagram" was displayed in the sky, his mind stopped working. He looked at Mei Liangyu and then at Yu Sui, wondering if he had just imagined it.
Mei Liangyu remained completely calm and composed, showing no surprise whatsoever after listening. He simply said, "Not bad."
Xing Chun: "..."
Keep pretending!
He didn't believe Mei Liangyu was unaware of what it meant for Yu Sui to achieve the return of three thousand stars to their positions in just one hour. (Yue Ge)
"I don't believe it," Xing Chun said honestly, "unless you let me see it."
“Okay.” Yu Sui nodded. “I also have a question I want to ask you, senior brother. Let’s watch and talk.”
She had barely sat down when she got up again and walked with Xing Chun into the celestial globe.
Seeing that the two of them left so suddenly, completely forgetting his presence, Mei Liangyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
It would be hard for Yu Sui to surprise him more than possessing a strange fire.
But are these two really going to throw him outside to watch the starry sea right in front of him?
Yu Sui had only taken a few steps when she turned back to Mei Liangyu: "Senior brother, would you like to come and take a look too?"
Xing Chun finally found an opportunity and pointed at Mei Liangyu, saying, "He said he wasn't curious at all about what the Nine Provinces Star Sea looked like."
Mei Liangyu crossed his arms and said, "The Star Sea represents the source of power for the Yin-Yang School disciples; how can we let others know about it so easily?"
Before Yu Sui could speak, Xing Chun realized what was happening and rubbed his hands together, saying, "I almost forgot, Mei Mei is right, the Star Sea really shouldn't be allowed to be spied on by others."
“It’s alright.” Yu Sui shook her head and said to Xing Chun, “Senior Brother Xing, you’ve taught me so much, what can’t you see in Xinghai?”
Looking at Yu Sui's bright smiling face, Xing Chun's impression of her changed instantly: she really is a simple, kind and lovely junior sister.
He explained to Yu Sui the importance of the Star Sea. If others could see the Star Sea, it would be equivalent to others seeing through the movement of "Qi". If this were used against him, it would be a very dangerous thing.
Yu Sui listened attentively, then nodded and said, "I'm not afraid to show it to Senior Brother Xing."
Xing Chun was touched by Yu Sui's trust in him and nodded, saying, "I swear, I will never tell a second person."
After the two finished their conversation, Mei Liangyu slowly stood up and followed them into the celestial sphere.
The three people's consciousnesses entered Yu Sui's Nine Provinces Star Sea and saw the starry scenery in the night sky, which was exactly what the "Lingxian Tu" depicted.
Xing Chun stared at the beautiful and breathtaking sea of stars for a long time without blinking. He was so shocked that he ignored the desolation on the ground and didn't even hear what Yu Sui said. He just stared blankly at the stars that had returned to their places in the sky.
Mei Liangyu said to Yu Sui, "He's terrified."
Yu Sui turned to look at him: "And what about you, Senior Brother?"
Mei Liangyu gazed at the stars in the sky, his expression calm. At this moment, he restrained his usual casual laziness, arrogance, and conceit. As he stared at the familiar stars above, fragmented memories recurred in his mind, and unfamiliar emotions arose from the bottom of his heart.
Even now, those fragmented memories still make it difficult for him to feel their reality.
The missing memories have been found, but it's hard to empathize with them; it's like watching someone else's life unfold.
Mei Liangyu sometimes wondered what his memories of Yan were like, what he was thinking.
Memory is a strange and terrifying thing.
It can turn one person into another.
A person's life is made up of countless "memories," and those terrible memories can powerfully change their current fate.
Like Xing Chun, Mei Liangyu gazed at the stars for a long time before finally saying lightly, "Very beautiful."
In the vast sea of stars across the Nine Provinces during the reign of Emperor Yu, Mei Liangyu suddenly realized something:
Divination is a practice found in all schools of thought and professions.
There are countless people in the world who try to glimpse the secrets of heaven, but very few can truly defy fate and change their destiny.
Yu Suicai had consumed a large amount of the Five Elements Qi, and did not stay in the Nine Provinces Star Sea for long during his second entry. After coming out, Xing Chuncai slowly recovered. He raised his hand to rub his face, and then looked at Yu Suicai with serious eyes and said, "Teach me."
"real."
"Instead, you can teach me how to cultivate the Star Sea, just teach me the part about the Vermilion Bird constellation."
After listening for a while, Yu Sui realized that Xing Chun wasn't joking; he was serious.
Xing Chun said, "I can call you teacher."
Yu Sui: "..."
As Mei Liangyu took out the Wind Listening Ruler, he slowly said, "That's right. After we finish making sure the three thousand stars return to their positions in an hour, we'll establish a sect and start taking students. In that case, shouldn't we come up with a good-sounding and easy-to-remember name for our mountain?"
"Don't mess around, I'm serious." Xing Chun reached out and grabbed Mei Liangyu's shoulder, pulling her away from Yu Sui, and said to Yu Sui, "Teacher Nangong."
"Senior Brother Xing, you can't call me that." Yu Sui waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly.
Before today, Xing Chun only regarded Yu Sui as Mei Liangyu's junior sister.
They had only become acquainted before, but after seeing each other every day for more than a month, they gradually became familiar with each other. Besides teaching, they would occasionally chat about other things. Moreover, the fact that they were teaching each other in private behind the back of Saint Changgen was quite exciting.
Their unusual motives quickly brought them closer together.
From this day forward, when Xing Chun looked at Yu Sui, all he could think of were geniuses, hidden gems, and future saints of the Yin-Yang School.
Yu Sui planned to stay at the Hun Tian Yi Chang for the entire day, and after resting, he would enter the Nine Provinces Star Sea to continue his observation and exploration.
Xing Chun and Mei Liangyu also accompanied her, telling Yu Sui to ask them anything she didn't understand.
"Although I don't think I'll know the answers to your next question either," Xing Chun said sincerely.
Yu Sui humbly replied, "It's just a partial return of the stars to their positions. I'm still completely ignorant of the Nine Schools of Yin-Yang. There are many things I'll need to ask Senior Brother Xing for guidance on in the future."
After Yu Sui entered the Nine Provinces Star Sea to continue her cultivation, Xing Chun and Mei Liangyu looked at each other outside.
“I suddenly remembered something,” Xing Chun said in a low voice, staring at Mei Liangyu. “When you said that Xinghai shouldn’t be seen by others, were you reminding her or me?”
Mei Liangyu, sitting at the stone table and chairs, looked up and said, "I'm just reminding you two."
Xing Chun sat down next to him and said, "Meimei, you're such a bastard who forgets his principles for the sake of a pretty face."
Mei Liangyu was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Why does everyone think that I like her? Can't it just be a senior brother helping his junior sister level up her cultivation?"
Xing Chun said, "You're really not that kind of person."
Mei Liangyu asked, "What kind of person?"
“Someone who would take good care of his junior sister’s cultivation.” Xing Chun said irritably, “Besides, you’ve really interfered too much this time. I’ve never seen you help Yuezhen and the others like this before.”
Mei Liangyu disagreed: "Where did I not help?"
“Okay, I have helped her before, but not like this time.” Xing Chun recalled what she had recently heard and seen in her mind, and asked him, “So do you like Nangong Sui, or do you just see her as a junior sister?”
Mei Liangyu said, "Of course I like her."
Seeing that he had admitted it, Xing Chun slapped his hand on the stone table: "Then it's not too much for me to call you a bastard who forgets his principles for lust, is it?"
Mei Liangyu chuckled and said, "Take the book 'Ling Xian' if you want."
Xing Chun clutched her chest with one hand, heartbroken: "Why didn't you say you'd buy it for me before?"
Mei Liangyu pondered for a moment, then replied very seriously, "You really didn't say you wanted it."
Yu Sui, who was inside the Nine Provinces Star Sea, saw this scene through the Five Elements Light Core left outside. She watched Xing Chun and Mei Liangyu chatting and laughing naturally, and suddenly remembered what her senior brother had said before: He is a very good person.
Having spent these days together, and through the bits and pieces that Yu Sui gleaned from the Listening Wind Ruler and the Light Core, it became clear that Mei Liangyu treated Xing Chun subtly differently from how he treated others.
If I had to say, Mei Liangyu's relationship with Xing Chun was closer than his relationship with Nian Qiuyan.
Perhaps it's because they were the first to know each other.
Yu Sui monitors the people around her every day using the Listening Wind Ruler and the Five Elements Light Core. Sometimes she feels that she is scary and abnormal, but only in this way can she give herself a sense of security and allow her to temporarily trust the people around her.
Because Yu Sui only trusts herself, when it comes to others, she must be in control of everything and make sure there is a way out before she can be confident.
The human heart is the most difficult thing to control.
Recently, when Yu Sui looks at Mei Liangyu, she occasionally thinks of Nangong Ming.
Does Nangong Ming's confidence stem from his ability to see through and control people's hearts, thus knowing who to make fear him, love him, or even use hatred to his advantage?
The more power Yu Sui gained, the more often she thought of Nangong Ming.
For Yu Sui, Nangong Ming was like a mountain blocking her path. If she couldn't climb over this mountain, she would be trapped at its foot for the rest of her life, unable to look up at the sun or go to the place she truly wanted to go.
Because of the changes in the Nine Provinces Star Sea during the Yu Sui year, Mei Liangyu did not ask her to go to the military training that night, but instead let her continue to stay at the Hun Tian Yi Chang.
While Yu Sui was engrossed in exploring the Nine Provinces Star Sea, Mei Liangyu took Yan Xiaochuan out of the academy to the outer city.
During this time, Yan Xiaochuan would occasionally join Yu Sui in training together within the armored formation, summoned by Mei Liangyu. At this time, Yu Sui would not summon sword spirits, but instead learn some physical techniques.
When Yan Xiaochuan first saw Yu Sui there, he was both happy and excited. He also wanted to show off in front of her, so he acted very seriously for the first two days after he arrived.
He was then brutally beaten by Mei Liangyu with his bare hands, and was powerless to fight back.
Later, Mei Liangyu even had Yan Xiaochuan and Yu Sui fight together.
Although Yan Xiaochuan had some ulterior motives, Yu Sui did not. She studied diligently and was not afraid to fight back. For the next two days, Yan Xiaochuan was bruised and swollen, and his back ached. He would run to the clinic as soon as he left the armored formation.
All his little schemes were thwarted by Mei Liangyu and Yu Sui.
Recently, Yan Xiaochuan has been working hard and focusing on his cultivation. As he followed Mei Liangyu towards the outer city, he asked, "Senior Brother Liangyu, what are we going to do in the outer city tonight?"
Mei Liangyu, playing with the wind-listening ruler, replied without looking up, "Diving."
"What are you going diving for?" Yan Xiaochuan asked, puzzled.
Mei Liangyu said, "Looking for something."
"What are you looking for?" Yan Xiaochuan turned his head to look at the academy gate that was getting further and further away behind him. "Isn't the young princess coming along?"
Mei Liangyu put away the Wind Listening Ruler, glanced back at him, and Yan Xiaochuan quickly said, "It's okay if you don't come, I'll go with you, Senior Brother Liangyu!"
"How has Uncle Mu been feeling these past few days?" he asked.
Yan Xiaochuan dropped his playful demeanor and lowered his eyes, saying, "It's not good. I was supposed to stay by his side, but he kicked me out."
Mei Liangyu said calmly, "Uncle Mu asked me to take you under my wing. If you make progress in your cultivation, Uncle Mu will be very happy. If he has any problems, Dean Wu will arrive first and find a solution. Just make sure he is happy."
The two walked along the mountain path after nightfall. The path was wide and flat, and there were night lights to illuminate it. In the pitch-black night, the lights of the outer city in the distance and the dim yellow night lights intertwined, making Yan Xiaochuan feel as if he was in a bizarre and wonderful world every time he passed by.
Everything about the Yan Kingdom is gone here, and he is no longer himself.
"I know." Yan Xiaochuan followed behind Mei Liangyu, and after speaking, he looked up at the tall, thin figure in front of him.
In a daze, I saw them as children.
He was actually quite happy to be able to become close to Mei Liangyu again.
Heaven knows how happy he was when he met Mei Liangyu in Taiyi, but along with the joy came fear.
Because of Chang Gensheng and Mei Liangyu's amnesia, Yan Xiaochuan never dared to approach him before. He only dared to exchange a few words with Mei Liangyu when she came to find Mu Yong'an.
Becoming close to Mei Liangyu and her two siblings was Yan Xiaochuan's childhood wish.
Now my wish has come true.
He was happy, but also afraid.
Yan Xiaochuan would occasionally have the thought, "If only he wouldn't regain his memories, wouldn't it be better to just keep things as they are?"
But when he thinks back to the past, he immediately despises his own thoughts for being too selfish and despicable.
Isn't this just like the likes of Saint Changgen?
"This way," Mei Liangyu said to Yan Xiaochuan, turning back to him from where she stood at the entrance of the path. "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Xiaochuan, who had taken the wrong turn, came to his senses and hurriedly followed, saying, "Isn't this the way to the outer city?"
“I said I was going to go diving in the outer city, not that I was going to go into the outer city.” Mei Liangyu gestured for him to walk ahead. “Don’t stand there, hurry up.”
"Oh!" Yan Xiaochuan nodded.
The two deviated from the main road and took a secluded path, going along the edge of the mountain and then through it. They wound their way up and down the mountain before finally crossing it to reach the seaside.
There was no light around them; the two stood in the shadows at the foot of the mountain, unable to see even a sliver of light from the outer city, where the nighttime lights of Taiyi were most abundant. Mei Liangyu lit up the surroundings with Zhou Tian Fire and asked the pitch-black sea, "How good a swimmer are you?"
Yan Xiaochuan followed him and looked down: "It's alright."
Mei Liangyu took out a roll of silver rope from the mechanism box and said to him, "This is the Thousand-Foot Rope. It can stretch and retract freely. Tie it on and let me see how deep you can dive without using the Nine Streams Technique."
Yan Xiaochuan responded, put on the rope around his body, and muttered, "Senior Brother Liangyu, is there anything we're looking for in this sea?"
“The key to the formation.” Mei Liangyu helped him tie the rope around his waist and said slowly, “I’ll have to trouble you to be the coordinates of my teleportation array.”
"Me?" Yan Xiaochuan's eyes widened instantly, showing shock. "What am I supposed to do?"
Mei Liangyu said, "You can just dive down first."
Yan Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, gripping the rope tightly, before finally mustering his courage to ask, "Are you leaving tonight?"
"Where to?" Mei Liangyu pretended not to understand.
Yan Xiaochuan whispered, "Leave Taiyi."
Mei Liangyu sneered: "If it were that easy, wouldn't I have left long ago?"
Yan Xiaochuan scratched his head, opening his mouth as if to say something, but Mei Liangyu urged him: "Go down."
"Oh." Yan Xiaochuan turned around and faced the sea.
Mei Liangyu said, "If you can't hold it in anymore, come up. The Thousand-Foot Rope can also provide you with breathing, but don't rely on it too much."
"Okay!" Yan Xiaochuan took a deep breath and jumped down into the sea from the path that was close to the mountain wall.
As Yan Xiaochuan jumped, the moment he entered the water, water splashed everywhere. The sea was calm, but the loud noise from his jump was drowned out by an even louder sound that suddenly erupted from the sky.
Mei Liangyu gripped the rope with one hand, looking wary. When he looked up and saw the smoke billowing in the night, he slowly frowned.
Cigarettes from six countries.
Everyone within the Xuan Gu Continent can see it.
Inside Taiyi Academy, students who were still undergoing trials, in the armor formation, in the star sea, or in the array were briefly teleported out and looked up as a loud bang came from the sky.
Yu Sui stood in the Hun Tian Yi field, looking up with the other Yin Yang School disciples who were equally puzzled. In her dark pupils, the colorful ribbons dancing in the sky were reflected.
Six ribbons of different colors swirled high in the night sky, a manifestation of the spirit. The ribbons bore the symbols of the six countries, as well as the seals of the military and political authorities.
Yu Sui saw the familiar Qingyang Kingdom symbol, a white tiger with wide, majestic eyes, looking down on all living beings. Following the Qingyang Kingdom symbol upwards, he saw the proclamation issued by the six kingdoms to all living beings:
The six countries announced the tragic incident involving the strange fire that occurred in Dan Kingdom some time ago.
The story of the destroyer Yu Xian was made public, and everyone was told that on that day, the strange fire took the lives of tens of thousands of people in a short moment.
Among them are many masters of the thirteenth realm and soldiers of the nation.
After stirring up people's fear of the strange fire and their resentment towards the destroyers, the six kingdoms declared: Water Boat has found a way to eliminate the strange fire. They invited the five destroyers who possess the strange fire to come to Water Boat to cooperate in eliminating the strange fire and saving all living beings from the catastrophe of destruction.
Meanwhile, the six nations will establish water bureaus in various locations to receive messages from the World Destroyer, and promise that if the World Destroyer cooperates sincerely, he/she will be safely sent to the water boat.
When Xing Chun saw this, his expression gradually became strange.
The smoke from the six kingdoms was known to everyone.
The information it releases will be transmitted through the Qi of heaven and earth, and you can see it no matter where you are on the ancient land.
Yu Sui gazed at the sky, listening to the other disciples' heated discussion about the Yu Xian incident in Dan Kingdom.
Mei Liangyu gazed calmly at the colorful ribbons representing the Yan Kingdom, without blinking for a long time.
Zhongli Que, far away in General Qingyang's mansion, was massaging his mother's shoulders and back, chatting about when his father and brother would return home. Hearing the noise outside, he and his mother went outside and looked at the night sky, their eyes filled with surprise.
Inside the Prince Nangong's mansion, a mute woman was pruning flowers in the unoccupied courtyard, waiting for her master, who had gone on a long trip, to return and see the courtyard full of vibrant blossoms.
Not far from here is Madam Su's residence.
The night made the bamboo shadows and flower walls in the courtyard quiet and secluded. The woman in white standing in the bamboo shadows had a cold expression. Time seemed to have left few marks on her. Madam Su looked up at the smoke from the Six Kingdoms, her dark pupils showing indifference.
Beside the screen wall, the Prince's steward and Cao Yan were both present.
The State of Yan, verdant forests.
The village was silent. In the autumn night, not even a single insect chirped. Even if a loud noise came from the sky, no one came out to watch.
The doors and windows were tightly shut, as if a raging flood or ferocious beast lurked outside; the air was thick with an unknown fear. A troop of iron cavalry clad in golden armor marched past the villagers' houses, their eyes beneath helmets cold and piercing, like those of a hawk surveying its prey.
The strongest southern army in the Yan Kingdom at present is the Changya Iron Cavalry.
At this moment, the Captain Ya Iron Cavalry, consisting of eight men, all of whom were tenth-realm sorcerers, was wandering around the village. They were searching for someone.
Find someone who is ordered to be hunted down.
The lights were still on in the small wooden house at the very back of the village. A loud noise came from outside, which startled the girl sleeping in bed. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, seeing her father standing by the window with a sword in his hand.
"Father," Alan said softly, "Is something outside glowing? It's so beautiful."
"Hmm." Gongsun Qi opened the window, allowing her to see the smoke signals from the six kingdoms in the sky.
Alan tried to get out of bed, but as soon as her bare feet touched the ground, Gongsun Qi stopped her, saying, "The ground is cold, go back."
"I want to go out and see." Alan pulled her feet back and knelt by the bed, looking at the man.
The man closed the window and walked outside: "I'll take you out to see the world after I've chased the bad guys away."
Alan nodded and clapped his hands, saying, "Great! Daddy, you're the best!"
