Leng Yan thought about the past month, and Qi Zhian's matter was almost ready. The capital city was inexplicably shrouded in a faint sense of impending storm.
The emperor in the palace was unaware of this, as he was indulging in pleasure and had almost completely lost the support of the people in the years since he ascended the throne. However, he did not pay attention to the advice of his ministers and pretended not to hear them.
Sometimes, if he was upset, he would find a reason to retaliate. After a long time, the ministers dared not say anything, and there were very few talents available in the court. Therefore, Qi Zhian was very busy recently. She needed to find more talents now. After all, if she really succeeded, she would not be able to do without people.
Thinking of this, Leng Yan lowered her eyes slightly, tapping the table with her fingertips, thinking about whether she should return to the sect after dealing with Wan Yu's affairs or stay outside for a while before going back.
Although she didn't want to return to the sect so early, she estimated that those people's patience was almost exhausted. In addition to Ruan Mengli's words, she guessed that Wen Shi must have some important matters to attend to and had to leave the sect.
As for why he said that he would give her the position of headmaster as long as she returned, in her opinion, it was because Wen Shi had a brain problem and was not treated in time.
Knowing that if he really became the leader, the first person he would kill would be him, he still dared to do it. Was it because Wen Shi had to do it or was he just too confident? Leng Yan couldn't help but frowned slightly while thinking about it.
The day of the Spring Hunt arrived in a flash. Leng Yan and Qi Zhian rode in the same sedan chair to the hunting grounds. Leng Yan, disliking the noise, stayed in their tent until the hunt began.
After the emperor said a few polite words, he announced the start of the spring hunt. Qi Zhian dismissed the servants and took Leng Yan with him and rode his horse into the mountains.
Therefore, they did not see the emperor behind them looking in the direction they left with a meaningful smile.
After Leng Yan and Qi Zhian left the others behind, they slowed down and rode slowly along the mountain path. Qi Zhian breathed in the fresh air and felt that his tense nerves of the past few days relaxed a little.
She looked at Leng Yan, her cheeks flushed slightly. Leng Yan was wearing a red robe today, with a corset tied around her waist and a raised collar that covered most of her slender neck. Her black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a black and red headband.
The bright red and the extreme cold collided, but in the end, the coldness won, suppressing the brightness all around. What was revealed was still indifference and alienation, but it did not give people the same indifference and alienation as before, as if it was standing outside the world and looking at others coldly.
Just as Qi Zhian was distracted, Leng Yan said, "Princess, if there's anything you need, I'll call you." Qi Zhian came back to her senses and shook her head, "No, I'll go with you. I haven't practiced for a long time, so I don't know if my aim is still good."
Then the two of them didn't say anything and just started hunting seriously. Suddenly Leng Yan stopped moving. Seeing this, Qi Zhian immediately understood, so she looked at Leng Yan calmly without making any sound.
At this moment, Leng Yan turned to look at Qi Zhian, and slowly straightened her sleeves and said, "Princess, are your people ready?"
Qi Zhian nodded and said, "Okay."
Leng Yan nodded and said: "Then let this spring hunt be the prelude to what is going to happen next." Then Leng Yan stopped adjusting his sleeves, holding a bow and arrow in his hand.
Then he took out an arrow from the quiver and shot it into the surrounding woods. The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was extremely clear in the silent woods.
After the arrow was fired, the woods were still quiet. Then, the next second, countless assassins rushed out from the woods. They all held swords in their hands and rushed towards Qi Zhian with a clear target. Only a few of them attacked Leng Yan.
Leng Yan raised her hand and hooked the bowstring with two beautiful white fingers. Then two sounds of breaking through the air were heard at the same time, and then two assassins fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, Qi Zhian finally put his mind at ease and dealt with the assassins seriously.
Leng Yan quickly dealt with the assassins who rushed towards him, then drew his bow and shot at the assassins surrounding Qi Zhian.
After a while, all the assassins fell to the ground. Qi Zhian's chest rose and fell slightly, obviously feeling a little tired. Looking at Leng Yan again, even his breathing was not disordered.
Qi Zhian looked at Leng Yan, then turned his head and looked into the distance and said: "Yun Qing, our people have started to move." Leng Yan just nodded slightly, and when they were about to go deeper, Leng Yan reined in the horse.
Sensing the evil spirit, Leng Yan turned to look at Qi Zhian without changing her expression and said, "Princess, step back." Qi Zhian did as she was told without any doubt, then she looked at Leng Yan and asked her what was wrong with her eyes.
But Leng Yan never looked at her from beginning to end. Leng Yan felt the demonic energy getting stronger and stronger, and her brows began to frown slightly. Then Leng Yan threw the bow and arrow on the ground, and then turned to look at Qi Zhian. That glance startled Qi Zhian, because Leng Yan's eyes were colder than she had ever seen before.
The next second she heard Leng Yan say: "Emperor, I want it."
Qi Zhian didn't understand what this sentence meant, but nodded subconsciously.
Soon Qi Zhian saw a group of wild beasts rushing towards this side. Qi Zhian looked at these beasts and felt that these beasts were different from those he had seen before.
The next second, as if to confirm her suspicions, the beasts emerged with demonic energy and attacked them. Leng Yan waved her hand to dispel the demonic energy, then gathered her spiritual power and formed a bow.
Qi Zhian's eyes widened slightly, and then she saw Leng Yan's two fingers hooked on the string, and a sky-blue arrow with an icy luster appeared on the bow.
Then Leng Yan loosened her fingers, and the arrow flew out, carrying a powerful spiritual wave towards the group of monsters. In just a moment, the monsters were killed. Qi Zhian was mesmerized by Leng Yan's previous actions and looked at Leng Yan in a daze.
