Hearing Hua Xiangwan's voice, Xie Changji opened his eyes. He paused for a moment, hiding the lust in his eyes, before pushing the door open and walking in.
Hua Xiangwan came out wiping her hair and turned to look at the bathroom: "Are you going to wash?"
"Um."
Xie Changji responded.
Hua Xiangwan raised her chin towards the clean room and said, "Then you clean the clean room yourself. I'm going to sleep."
"good."
Director Xie didn't say much and went straight into the house.
Hua Xiangwan dried her hair and lay down on the bed.
The bed was warm, probably because Nuan Yu had been placed on it. Hua Xiangwan stretched out a hand and looked at it for a while, feeling somewhat happy.
With more than three hundred sticky spots, her tendons and veins will be fully opened within a month.
Although it was a little painful, it was only at that moment and was not unbearable.
I hadn't expected to be able to open up her tendons and meridians before. After all, for a Yuanying cultivator, it was good enough to be able to nourish her golden elixir, and I didn't expect to be able to help her repair her tendons and meridians.
But the one who came was Xie Changji...
Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but glance towards the purification room, thinking about Xie Changji's appearance just now, and figured that perhaps the tendons and veins could be restored, but she would have to find another way to make the golden elixir.
Xie Changji doesn't like love affairs.
She never believed in it before, always thinking that these Taoist priests were hypocritical. She tried every possible way to persuade him, but he always refused calmly. At first she thought that this Taoist priest was pretending to be reserved, until they really became one.
When she woke up the next day, she saw helplessness in his eyes for the first time in her life.
Without any joy or warmth, he picked up his Taoist robe and staggered out without even caring about his injuries.
At that moment she knew that Xie Changji was truly a deity who had given up all desires, and that all worldly affairs were dirty and filthy to him.
She didn't know to what extent Xie Changji could compensate her for that "obsession".
But if Xie Changji had to endure the dissatisfaction and complete this task, even if it was for the golden elixir, even if Xie Changji was a cultivator in the tribulation period, she didn't want to endure it.
Fortunately, Xie Changji doesn't seem to be willing to put himself in such a difficult situation and will probably find some other solutions.
It was best that she didn't have to say no.
Hua Xiangwan thought in a daze, lay on the bed, and slowly fell asleep.
Xie Changji soaked in the cold water, watching the bathtub being dyed red by his blood.
He listened to the breathing sounds outside gradually becoming steady, and waited until the ten blood holes on his back caused by the Twin Talisman healed. Then he stood up, put on a white shirt, cleaned the blood, and walked out.
He walked almost silently in the moonlight to the bedside, stood there, and looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed.
He looked at her eyebrows one by one for a long time, and saw that Hua Xiangwan's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had a nightmare. He sat down on the bed, raised his hand and shone a fluorescent light on her eyebrows, and Hua Xiangwan calmed down.
He leaned over gently and placed his cool lips on her forehead.
"Good dream."
Hua Xiangwan slept very well that night. She didn't know whether it was because she was too tired from clearing her meridians or because of something else.
When I woke up the next morning, I saw Xie Changji sitting beside the incense table, meditating. Green smoke was rising from the incense burner. Xie Changji was dressed in white and his figure was as white as jade.
He heard her stand up and tilted his head slightly: "Morning."
This happened almost every day for nearly half a month. It would take some time for Xie Changji's spiritual power to recover, so he would help her open up her meridians every three days. The rest of the time, Hua Xiangwan would meditate on her own or play mahjong with Lingnan and others.
When night fell, Xie Changji would sit in front of the incense table and meditate to keep watch.
From Tianjian Sect to Dingli Sea, and then crossing Dingli Sea to the Western Border, this journey took Hua Xiangwan and his team almost a month to walk. Now with Xie Changji's spirit boat, they arrived at the Western Border in less than half a month.
The entrances to the Western Border and Dingli Sea were heavily guarded. When the spirit boat arrived at the shore, Hua Xiangwan told Hehuan Palace about the arrival and asked Hehuan Palace to make preparations to welcome them. Then, they changed to the spirit beast jade carriage. Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji sat in the carriage and walked towards the pass.
We have not yet entered the Western Territory but are still at the seaside. The sand on Dingli Sea is black. Everyone walks on the black sand, led by Lingbei, towards the light gate ahead.
"Is this your first time in the West?"
Hua Xiangwan saw Xie Changji looking at the scenery outside the window and raised her glass with a smile: "I looked like you when I first came to Yunlai."
Hearing Hua Xiangwan talking about the past, Xie Changji turned around and looked at her.
Hua Xiangwan said slowly: "Yunlai is quite different from the Western Territory. The landscape is beautiful, and the people are beautiful too."
"Really?"
Xie Chang said slowly: "I thought that people in the Western Territory should be well-born."
"How do you know?"
Hua Xiangwan was curious, and Xie Changji said calmly: "At least Wen Shaoqing should be good."
Hearing him take the initiative to raise the temperature of Shaoqing, Hua Xiangwan was stunned. She felt inexplicably guilty and thought it was inappropriate.
She took a look at Xie Changji's expression and saw that he didn't seem to care, so she felt relieved and nodded, "He is very good, but he is not as good-looking as Xue Zidan."
"Xue Zidan?"
Xie Changji raised his eyes and said, "I haven't heard you mention it."
"Well, it was before Wen Shaoqing," Hua Xiangwan said briefly, "I went to Yaozong to seek medical treatment and picked up this person by chance."
"And then?"
"Hey," Xie Changji had just finished asking when a cry of surprise came from outside the carriage, "I was wondering who caused such a big commotion, it turns out that Young Master Hua is back."
Hearing the voice, Xie Changji turned around to look over. Hua Xiangwan was not in a hurry either. She slowly rolled up the car curtain and looked at the woman standing in front of the car window.
The woman was dressed in a black top, short skirt and long boots, with hidden weapons hanging on both hands, looking very cool.
"I was wondering who it was," Hua Xiangwan laughed, "So, is it Miss Xue's turn to guard Dingli Pass?"
"Young Master Hua, do you still recognize me?" the woman mocked.
"Of course," Hua Xiangwan said with a sincere look, "Xue Xueran, the Second Master of Medicine, has poisoned me no less than two hundred times. It's hard for me to forget."
"You deserve it."
Xue Xueran sneered and looked into the carriage: "Why, are you going to the Tianjian Sect to collect the rubbish again..."
Xue Xueran paused before she could finish her words.
Her gaze fell on Xie Changji, her eyes somewhat dull.
Xie Changji suppressed his intimidating aura, sat in the carriage, and drank tea calmly. Others could not tell his level of cultivation, but they knew that his face was the most stunning beauty in the Western Territory.
Xue Xueran was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Hua Xiangwan in disbelief and laughed out loud: "Hua Xiangwan, you are really capable. You are an embroidered pillow, and you still want to get something useless for beauty? You can at least find someone in the Jindan stage?"
Hearing this, all the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect looked over, and Xie Zhangji also raised his eyes. Hua Xiangwan saw that Xie Zhangji looked strange, so he raised his hand to hold him down, and said to Xue Xueran, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, and let him go."
"Okay, okay," Xue Xueran leaned on the window and raised her hands, unable to stop laughing. "I will go back and tell my brother about this good news. Don't worry, if you die in the Demon Lord's trial, my brother will go and collect your body in person."
Xue Xueran stepped back, smiling, and waved her hand, "Let's go!"
Hua Xiangwan let down the curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Xie Changji and found that she was looking at him with her hand pressing on the back of his hand.
She quickly came back and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
"Who is she?"
Xie Changji spoke, and Hua Xiangwan explained: "Xue Zidan's sister is Xue Xueran. Xue Zidan is the young master of the Medicine Sect, and she is the second youngest. She is good at using hidden weapons and poison."
"She poisoned you more than two hundred times?"
"Ah," Hua Xiangwan nodded awkwardly, "It's just a small matter. It never worked anyway."
"Why?"
Hua Xiangwan sighed, feeling somewhat guilty: "For her brother, back then... I asked for something and lied to Xue Zidan. He wanted to keep me in Medicine Sect, but I ran away and got engaged to Wen Shaoqing..."
Hua Xiangwan's voice became quieter as she spoke, and then she sighed, "Forget it, it's all in the past."
"I heard that the Demon Lord arranged a marriage between you and Wen Shaoqing to stabilize the situation."
Xie Changji picked up the teacup and controlled his tone.
Hua Xiangwan nodded: "Not bad, but we grew up together and we have some feelings for each other."
Xie Changji paused.
Hua Xiangwan thought of something, turned around and looked at him again, and couldn't help but remind him: "He is a bit stubborn. The situation is delicate now. If he does something to you..." Hua Xiangwan paused, thought for a long time, and finally thought of a suitable word, "It's a disrespectful act. Don't be angry, just avoid it."
"He broke off your engagement."
IXie Changji raised his eyes to look at her and reminded her deliberately.
Hua Xiangwan sighed, "Qingle Palace didn't agree to this marriage in the first place. It was because he and the Demon Lord insisted that the marriage be arranged, so they haven't gotten married for all these years. He tried his best, and I don't blame him. He has helped me a lot over the years. When Hehuan Palace was in trouble, he was the first reinforcement team to come. Most importantly, I don't want to have any disputes with Qingle Palace now, so you must not cause trouble."
Xie Changji didn't say anything. Hua Xiangwan looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"In the past two hundred years," Xie Changji said, his tone was inaudible as he lowered his eyes to look at the teacup, "you have lived a wonderful life."
"Alright..." Hua Xiangwan felt that there was some sarcasm in his words, but Xie Changji was not that kind of person, so she forced a smile and said, "Are you okay?"
"Is there anyone else I should be aware of?"
Xie Changji lowered his head and drank his tea, his expression slightly cold.
But he was too introverted, so Hua Xiangwan couldn't tell the difference. She just thought he was asking about the way to survive in the Western Territory. After thinking about it, Hua Xiangwan didn't care: "The others are just minor characters. They shouldn't affect you. I'll introduce them to you later."
After saying this, Hua Xiangwan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
In fact, she couldn't figure out what exactly Xie Changji's so-called "bias" was. He had been too calm and indifferent these days. He seemed like a messenger of gratitude, and she almost forgot that he still considered her his wife.
Although she may not necessarily like it, if she were a wife, she might not like so much love history.
She hesitated and wanted to explain a little more to avoid making the atmosphere too awkward, but before she opened her mouth, she heard Xie Changji's understanding voice: "I know." He raised his eyes and nodded gently, "I will know my limits."
After getting Xie Changji's promise, Hua Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was overthinking.
Why would Xie Changji care about such things?
I didn't care about it back then, but now that he has become a supreme ruler, it's just that his Taoism has been damaged and something went wrong. He should be more calm and tolerant than when he was young.
After realizing this, she boldly began to introduce the situation in the Western Territory to Xie Changji.
She took out a map and spread it out for Xie Changji.
"The Western Territory is divided into three palaces and nine sects, namely Mingluan, Qingle, and Hehuan. Mingluan is good at swordsmanship, Qingle Palace focuses on musical instruments, and Hehuan Palace mainly has different skills. They can advance quickly through the dual cultivation technique, so they are good at tempering the mind. On the basis of skills, they can learn everything. For example, I used to learn swordsmanship, but later I switched to magic cultivation."
"I know." Xie Changji nodded.
Hua Xiangwan continued: "The sects are Yin Yang Sect, Puppet Sect, Wu Gu Sect, Sword Sect, Dao Sect, Medicine Sect, Hundred Beast Sect, Tian Ji Sect, and Yu Cheng Sect. There are 330 cities under the nine sects, which are managed separately. In the past, each palace managed ten large cities and three sects, and the small cities were managed by the sects. Each city had its own city lord and some small sects. But now the Hehuan Palace has declined, and is not even as strong as some of the nine sects, so this kind of jurisdiction has long been in name only. Now the Hehuan Palace only controls the Hundred Beast Sect, so now the Hehuan Palace actually governs," Hua Xiangwan drew a very small circle, "only the ten large cities and twenty small cities in the west. So, although on the surface the Hehuan Palace is still the third palace, I can bring you in with the prestige of the Demon Lord, but we should not cause trouble if we can."
"Um."
Xie Changji nodded and looked at the map: "What is the Demon Lord Trial like?"
"Well, the trial hasn't started yet," Hua Xiangwan shook her head, "no one knows."
Speaking of this, Hua Xiangwan remembered: "Where is Qi Ling, what are you going to do?"
“We’ll have a wedding reception.”
Xie Changji suddenly said this, Hua Xiangwan was a little confused: "Not bad."
"Will you invite all the cultivators above the Yuanying level in the Western Territory?"
"Of course," Hua Xiangwan nodded, "If you can cultivate to the Golden Core state, you will be considered famous. All the slightly famous people in the Western Territory will be invited."
“I have a sense of ghosts.”
After hearing this, Hua Xiangwan understood.
The Western Territory cultivators who entered the Lingxu Secret Realm that day were all Yuanying or above, and most likely came from the Nine Sects or Mingluan Qingle.
Xie Changji planned to look for her directly at the wedding banquet, which was an idea.
"Don't worry," Xie Changji said suddenly, inexplicably, "My finding someone won't affect our marriage."
Hua Xiangwan was stunned by this, then she laughed: "It doesn't matter what the impact is, finding the ghost spirit is the most important thing."
Xie Changji raised his eyes to look at her, his expression inexplicably solemn: "No."
He said, “It’s very important.”
Hua Xiangwan was unable to respond for a moment. Xie Changji sometimes seemed to be inexplicably concerned about these rituals.
For example, he refused to drink the wedding wine because he wanted to give her another formal wedding. He deliberately let her leave with Shen Xiuwen in order to finish drinking a glass of wedding wine.
But sometimes it doesn’t matter that much, like the clothes he wore on the day of the kiss. If she didn’t know, she would have thought he was just coming back from dinner.
She couldn't understand his train of thought, nor did she want to get to know this mysterious man, so she turned around and pulled out a book of characters and began to introduce Xie Changji to the characters in the Western Territory that he needed to remember, so that it would be easier for him to act in the future.
It was three days later that I finished introducing the general situation of the Western Territory.
When I woke up on the third day, I was already not far from Hehuan Palace.
Hehuan Palace had begun preparations as early as when she entered the Western Territory. Now she had to follow the wedding ceremony etiquette, hang a red love knot on the spirit beast, change into a purple dress with Xie Changji, and get on the spirit beast jade carriage and slowly move forward.
As the convoy moved forward, she began to contact Hehuan Palace.
However, the voice transmission jade token had been lit for a long time, but no one responded, and Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Xie Changji glanced at Hua Xiangwan's expression and called out, "Lingbei."
Hearing Xie Changji's voice, Lingbei hurried back to the car: "Sir."
"Send someone to check ahead. We can't get in touch with Hehuan Palace."
Ling Bei heard this, his expression slightly gloomy, and immediately said: "Yes."
Having said that, Ling Bei turned around to look for someone.
Xie Changji turned to look at Hua Xiangwan and said, "Don't worry."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on her slightly crooked golden crown, and he raised his hand to adjust it: "I didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations ahead."
No, that means there is no fighting.
She never thought that Xie Changji knew so well what she was worried about. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you."
"After you and your master and fellow disciples got into trouble, I couldn't sleep for a long time."
Xie Changji suddenly mentioned the past. Hua Xiangwan was curious and saw that he looked calm and didn't seem to be sad at all, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"For many years, when I closed my eyes, I felt as if someone was calling me. There were sounds of war all around me. Later, I stopped sleeping and stayed awake, so I didn't feel uneasy."
"And then?"
Hua Xiangwan thought that he was not someone who liked to complain.
"Then I stayed in the other world for nearly two hundred years. When I came back, I saw that the mountains of Tianjian Sect were full of peach blossoms. I didn't recognize many of the disciples. Tianjian Sect had become the number one sect in Yunlai."
"That night, when I fell asleep, my fellow apprentice and master stopped calling me."
Only she, still in the dream, fell down from in front of him again and again.
Hua Xiangwan listened and smiled: "Now that you say that, I have hope. Maybe one day, when Hehuan Palace returns to its heyday, I won't be afraid anymore, right?"
"Um."
Xie Changji spoke, Hua Xiangwan turned around, looked ahead with a smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and after a while, Lingbei came back.
"Young Master."
Ling Bei came to Hua Xiangwan's side and whispered, "It's Qingle Palace. Wen Shaoqing brought 5,000 disciples from Qingle Palace and surrounded Hehuan Palace."
Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan frowned: "They didn't hurt anyone, did they?"
"No," Lingbei shook his head, "They have no intention of causing trouble for Hehuan Palace. They are waiting for you in Hehuan Palace..." Lingbei paused, raised his head and glanced at Xie Changji, and finally spoke, "Heshangjun."
Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangwan got a headache.
She raised her hand to her forehead and asked, "What is he up to?"
"Young Master Wen said that it was his mother who called off the marriage. He wants to talk to you and also wants to see what kind of person the Lord is."
"I've brought the person back," Hua Xiangwan whispered, "What does he want to talk to me about?"
Ling Bei didn't say anything. Hua Xiangwan thought for a moment and asked, "What about the back door? Did they block it too?"
"No," Ling Bei shook his head, "Young Master Wen deliberately left a back door open."
"Then go out the back door," Hua Xiangwan ordered immediately, "Don't cause any conflict."
"yes."
Lingbei nodded.
In recent years, Hehuan Palace has avoided these conflicts as much as possible, conserving its energy and developing well.
However, before Lingbei turned around, Xie Changji said, "No need to take a detour, just keep going forward."
Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan was startled, and looked over with Lingbei, and saw Xie Changji with an unmoved expression. He raised his voice slightly, "Reminiscence.
Jiang Yiran heard this, turned back from the front, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency."
"Tell the disciples to raise the flag and move forward."
"Yes." Jiang Yiran responded immediately, then turned and left, shouting to the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, "Raise the flag!"
A moment later, the Tianjian Sect's flag was raised along with the Hehuan Palace's flag at the front and rear of the car.
The two flags were lined up side by side, entwined in the wind.
Ling Bei and Hua Xiangwan looked at the situation and were afraid to say anything.
They have been timid for nearly two hundred years and have never been so arrogant.
Xie Changji saw the sect flag rising, turned to look at Lingbei, and asked, "Is Wen Shaoqing here?"
"exist."
Ling Bei reacted and quickly reported the situation ahead: "Wen Shaoqing brought two masters of the Spiritualization Stage from Qingle Palace, they are all here."
"Um."
Xie Changji nodded and said, "Open the way."
When Ling Bei heard this, he knew that Xie Changji was planning to confront him head-on.
He was a little excited for a moment, but he suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm and steady: "Yes."
Having said that, Ling Bei turned around and led the way.
It took Hua Xiangwan a long time to realize what Xie Changji meant, and she felt a little flustered.
She quickly sat down in front of Xie Changji, held his hand, and pleaded excitedly: "Xie Changji, Wen Shaoqing is the young palace master of Qingle Palace, please don't mess around."
Xie Changji looked up at her when he heard this.
"Are you afraid that I'll kill him?"
The word "kill" was mentioned right at the beginning, which completely exceeded Hua Xiangwan's psychological expectation of being "seriously injured".
She panicked even more, and immediately stressed: "If he dies, Qingle Palace will definitely go to war. There are not many cultivators above the Yuanying level in Hehuan Palace now. I don't have much wealth, so we must conserve our energy and maintain our strength until it is absolutely necessary..."
"Don't be afraid."
Xie Changji listened to her reasons and his expression eased slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked extremely calm: "I just don't want to take a detour. I know my limits."
Hua Xiangwan looked at his calm expression and swallowed.
Thinking that Xie Changji had always kept his word and was very reliable, she finally felt relieved, but still reminded him: "It's not okay to get seriously injured. Just a little lesson will be enough. Don't go too far. After all, you have to give him some face."
Xie Changji lowered his head and drank his tea without saying a word.
The convoy moved forward, went around the dirt slope in front, and arrived at the Hehuan Palace. Looking up from the hill, there was a huge plain in front of the Hehuan Palace. Five thousand monks were lined up in front of the Hehuan Palace, neatly and neatly, which was quite spectacular.
Hua Xiangwan lifted the carriage curtain and watched nervously as the two teams got closer and closer. Xie Changji next to her was completely the opposite. He drank tea calmly without any worries.
After a while, the two sides finally exchanged words. The carriage stopped, and Lingbei saluted in front and said respectfully: "Master Wen, my master is back with the young prince. I hope you will make way."
No one spoke.
After a while, the monks in front made way, and the sound of a sedan creaking up and down was heard. A young man in the crowd sat on the sedan and slowly came over.
He was dressed in purple and had a feather crown on his head. He held a golden cup in one hand and rested the other on the side of a sedan chair. He had a gorgeous face, frivolous eyebrows and eyes, and a red mole at the corner of his eye, which made him look particularly charming and sharp.
"Ah Wan," he ignored Ling Bei, looked towards the carriage, and shouted, "You brought your new love back again?"
After hearing this, Hua Xiangwan looked at Xie Changji. Seeing that Xie Changji seemed to be in a daze, she could no longer sit still. She raised the car curtain and stood outside, frowning and shouting, "What are you doing here? Didn't you cancel the engagement?!"
"Ah Wan," Wen Shaoqing immediately became serious when he saw Hua Xiangwan, "This was not my intention. I was locked up by my mother for a long time, and now I have just escaped and come to find you. Qin Yunyi and I are not married..."
"That's also a breakup."
Hua Xiangwan interrupted him, looked at the monks behind him, and whispered, "I've already gotten married in the Tianjian Sect, so please leave and don't make it too embarrassing."
Hearing this, Wen Shaoqing's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Getting married?"
"yes."
Hua Xiangwan responded: "Stop bothering me."
"I'm clinging to you?" Wen Shaoqing laughed angrily when he heard this. "Is it me who is clinging to you, or are you breaking your promise? You promised me that you would always be with me, and you also promised to marry me!"
Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan was speechless for a moment.
In the carriage, Xie Changji lowered his eyes and took a peach blossom that was placed in a vase for decoration on the table.
"This is all in the past, and when I promised you, you also said you would convince your mother. I've given you so much time," Hua Xiangwan said in embarrassment, "You can't do it. Now you have Qin Yunyi, and I'm married, so let it go, right?"
Wen Shaoqing said nothing. He moved his gaze to the carriage behind Hua Xiangwan: "Are you married? Good, very good."
As he spoke, Wen Shaoqing's face suddenly changed. He turned his hand and a guqin suddenly appeared. He raised his hand and plucked it violently. The sound waves went towards the carriage like a knife. He said coldly: "Then if he dies, you will be mine again."
When the sound faded, the sound waves spread around the flowers towards the evening, and directly cut through the car curtain. The moment the curtain fell, a handful of peach blossoms flew out.
The peach blossoms hit the sound waves, which were cut off instantly, and then the petals flew towards Wen Shaoqing like flying swords. When Wen Shaoqing realized something was wrong, the peach blossoms were already in front of him!
Wen Shaoqing hurriedly plucked up his zither, and the sound of the zither hastily blocked the piercing peach blossom light swords. He dodged while playing the zither. Seeing this, the two Jindan monks beside him immediately joined the battle, playing a flute and a flute to assist the sound of the zither in knocking all the peach blossoms away. However, just as the last peach blossom fell, Xie Changji put down his teacup, picked up a peach branch from the carriage, and came over.
He came very quickly, and the Jindan cultivator saw that the situation was not good and immediately stood in front of Wen Shaoqing.
A flute and a pipe made sharp sounds, and Xie Changji waved the peach branch of the wood, and the sword intent seemed like an overwhelming tidal wave. In an instant, the flute broke, and the peach branch rushed through the sound waves of the guqin, directly hitting the face of the predecessor.
The strings of the guqin broke into pieces, and Wen Shaoqing vomited a mouthful of blood. Then he felt Tao Zhi slap him hard on the face, and instantly knocked him to the ground!
He fell heavily to the ground, and before he could get up, the peach branch had already hit his neck.
His feather crown was askew, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered in dust, and he raised his head while gasping for breath, lifting up his face which was covered in blood from being beaten.
He saw a young man in black clothes and a jade crown, his expression as calm as a pond. He just glanced at him indifferently, then turned back to look at Hua Xiangwan.
He asked casually, "Can I kill you?"
