Chapter 68: Evil Spirit
Chapter 68: Evil Spirit
"You're back from the military camp??? When did you come back???"
Nangong Jing received a report from his servant that someone was looking for him.
At first I thought it was Feng Xuanzhou, but when I looked at it, I found out it was Xuanyuan Xingyao, I was surprised.
It’s no wonder that the servants didn’t know Xuanyuan Xingyao. The main reason was that a war broke out on the border when Xuanyuan Xingyao was thirteen years old.
At that time, Xuanyuan Xingyao had already reached the peak level of combat master.
Bing Linxuan also said that a soldier cannot become an excellent soldier without going through the baptism of real war.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Xingyao, who was only thirteen years old at the time, asked the emperor to fight and join the army at the border.
Although the emperor and the queen were reluctant and worried, they finally agreed to Xuanyuan Xingyao's request.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't know whether he was born to be on the battlefield.
After joining the army, he found it easy to lead troops and kill enemies. In less than a year, he had made a name for himself on the battlefield.
Even his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, broke through in the second month after entering the battlefield, becoming the youngest war master on the continent.
Perhaps he really likes the battlefield. Since joining the army, Xuanyuan Xingyao has rarely returned to the imperial capital.
It has been a year since he last came back.
Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou stayed in the palace as Xuanyuan Xingyao's study companions.
Now that Xuanyuan Xingyao was gone, the two of them naturally couldn't stay in the palace for long.
There are many servants in the Duke's Mansion now, all of whom are new and have never seen Xuanyuan Xingyao.
If Xuanyuan Xingyao hadn't revealed his identity, it wouldn't be surprising that they didn't recognize him.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing's excited expression, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know if it was Xuanyuan Xingyao’s illusion, but he felt that Nangong Jing looked better than a year ago.
"I've grown a lot taller, but I'm still a little short."
Having grown up together, Xuanyuan Xingyao knew too well what Nangong Jing cared about and what he could say to irritate him.
As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Jing got furious.
"I'm only fifteen, not yet an adult, and I can still grow."
I don’t know if it’s because I had a bad life before the age of five, which damaged my foundation.
In both his past and present lives, Nangong Jing was not very tall.
In fact, if you really calculate it, 1.8 meters is not short, but compared with Xuanyuan Xingyao and the others, it seems a little short.
Not to mention Xuanyuan Xingyao, who is over 1.9 meters tall, even the magician Feng Xuanzhou is 1.85 meters tall.
Nangong Jing is only a little over 1.7 meters tall so far. When the three of them stand together, the difference is too obvious.
Nangong Jing was very sad about this, but fortunately he was only fifteen years old and had not stopped growing yet, so he could still grow a little bit.
In his previous life, when he was fifteen years old, Nangong Jing was not even 1.7 meters tall, but in the end he grew to 1.8 meters.
This life has grown much faster than the previous one, Nangong Jing has always comforted himself in this way.
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw that Nangong Jing really cared about him, so he stopped teasing him.
I don’t know if it’s because he was spoiled by Han Yan, but Nangong Jing is sometimes quite spoiled. If you really make him angry, he will be angry with you and ignore you for several days.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Xingyao was just thinking about this in his mind. If he said it out loud, he would definitely be refuted, as if he didn't have any favors himself.
"Yes, you are still young. You will definitely be taller than me in the future."
"Forget it, he looks like you, a big, stupid guy. If I could be like Xuan Zhou, I would be satisfied."
Nangong Jing was still a little upset about Xuanyuan Xingyao's teasing just now, so he directly ridiculed Xuanyuan Xingyao.
After being ridiculed, Xuanyuan Xingyao accepted it, since he was the one who started it.
"Let's go, change some clothes and go out for dinner. I've made an appointment with Xuan Zhou, and the three of us haven't gotten together in a while."
Xuanyuan Xingyao called out to Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing then recalled his original question and asked curiously, "When did you come back? Why haven't I heard anyone mention it?"
Nangong Jing remembered that no troops had returned to the court recently???
"I was summoned back by my father. The border is now stable, and there's nothing much for me to do there, so I followed my father and mother's wishes and returned. After returning this time, unless another war breaks out, I won't leave."
Nangong Jing was very happy to hear that Xuanyuan Xingyao would not leave in the short term.
Although he didn't say it, Nangong Jing still missed Xuanyuan Xingyao a lot since they hadn't seen each other for a few years.
"Wait, I'll go change my clothes and be back."
When Nangong Jing was at home, he always wore simple casual clothes. It was okay to wear them at home, but it would be inappropriate to wear them outside.
Nangong Jing was very fast. After a while, he changed into a set of slim-fitting clothes and ran out.
Not surprisingly, there was a fiery red little leopard hanging on his shoulder.
Ever since Yan was summoned, he has been very clingy and doesn't like staying in the consciousness space.
Nangong Jing doted on it, and basically never kept it in his consciousness space over the years.
And wherever he goes, he will bring Yan with him.
"This little thing, after all these years, why is it still so tiny?"
Xuanyuan Xingyao reached out and quickly pinched Yan's ear, then withdrew his hand before Yan could get angry and fight back.
Nangong Jing felt that Yan's hair stood up, and he quickly held him in his arms to comfort him.
"Don't tease it. If it gets angry and attacks you, I won't care."
"Do you think it can hurt me?"
Xuanyuan Xingyao raised his brows slightly and said proudly.
"Yan's body has changed since entering level three. Its original form is already two meters long. It just prefers to stay on me, so it has shrunk itself. Although it can't hurt you, its two-meter body is really annoying."
Nangong Jing knew how much Xuanyuan Xingyao hated trouble, and looked at him with a half-smile.
Xuanyuan Xingyao really didn't like trouble. He took a look at Yan who had been appeased and decided not to tease him anymore.
Nangong Jing held Yan in his arms and gave instructions to the servants.
"If the Patriarch asks about me, I'll just say that I went out with King Han Xi and won't be back for lunch."
Xuanyuan Xingyao was named king by the emperor after he won a battle in his first year on the battlefield.
Although he was only a prince, it was a two-character title, and he was the first among his brothers to be crowned a prince.
Because of this, the ministers often quarreled with the emperor.
The most talked about thing is that Xuanyuan Xingyao is the youngest, so how can he be crowned king before his brothers?
The emperor ignored this and said that Xuanyuan Xingyao was the youngest.
He is the legitimate son and is more noble than other princes. He has also just made great contributions. What's wrong with being crowned king based on his merits?
All the ministers were speechless, because they could not find any points to refute, and could only watch Xuanyuan Xingyao being crowned king.
After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Nangong Jing chattered to Xuanyuan Xingyao about the changes in the imperial capital over the past year.
There are also some major events that have happened to them over the past year or so.
When Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao stepped into the restaurant where they had agreed to meet Feng Xuanzhou, the originally noisy sound in the restaurant suddenly fell into silence.
Nangong Jing looked at the restaurant lobby, which had fallen into silence. He glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao, who was standing beside him with an expressionless face, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
In fact, when he met Xuanyuan Xingyao just now, Nangong Jing discovered that the evil spirit on Xuanyuan Xingyao had become even stronger.
Xuanyuan Xingyao already had a murderous aura on him before he even went to the battlefield.
These evil spirits allowed Xuanyuan Xingyao to make rapid progress in martial arts.
But because of these evil spirits, Xuanyuan Xingyao always makes people afraid.
Ever since going to the battlefield, maybe because of the blood he saw, the murderous aura on Xuanyuan Xingyao has become more intense day by day.
In fact, things are a little better this time. Nangong Jing still remembers the last time he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao also didn't know whether he could not control the evil spirit.
At that time, he looked like the god of death, exuding evil spirit, even murderous intent, all over his body.
It is said that when the Queen Mother saw Xuanyuan Xingyao, she fainted because she could not withstand the erosion of the evil spirit.
Of course, no one knows whether it is true or not. Anyway, it is a fact that after Xuanyuan Xingyao came back last year, he went to the border again after just a few days.
"Xuanyuan, please control the evil spirit in you. Most of the people here are ordinary people and cannot withstand your evil spirit."
Nangong Jing pulled Xuanyuan Xingyao's sleeve and whispered to him.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at the people around him with a panicked look, remembering the incident last year when the queen fainted from shock.
Xuanyuan Xingyao circulated the spiritual power in his body and gathered the evil energy around him into his body.
Now, unless you stand next to Xuanyuan Xingyao, you can no longer feel any evil spirit.
Perhaps the evil spirit had disappeared, and the guests who had been watching them quietly resumed eating and drinking.
The restaurant, which had been too quiet, slowly became noisy again.
The waiter, who was originally afraid to come forward, also bravely walked over and asked Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing if they were here to eat.
"We have an appointment with someone. His last name is Feng. He should be here first."
In the past, when the three of them got together, Feng Xuanzhou usually arrived first and arranged everything.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing rarely need to worry about these things.
I have to say, having a caring friend is really a very happy thing.
As soon as Nangong Jing said his last name was Feng, the waiter immediately understood.
When Feng Xuanzhou came over, the waiter recognized him. There were few people in the imperial capital who didn't know the son of the Left Prime Minister.
Anyone who can be friends with Feng Xuanzhou must have a good family background. The smile on the waiter's face became more sincere.
"So it's Master Feng's friend. Master Feng is in the private room upstairs. Please follow me, my two guests."
The waiter took the towel from his neck and shook it off, then bent down and walked in front, guiding the two people to the private room upstairs.
"You two are so slow. I've already had two cups of tea."
When Feng Xuanzhou saw Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao appear, his eyes lit up and he showed an excited expression.
Then he complained to the two of them, saying that they were too slow.
"It's my fault. I changed my clothes before going out."
Nangong Jing said with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all for making Feng Xuanzhou wait for so long. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
