"So what new idols have emerged that drive countless young girls crazy?"
"That's what I call 'Qin,' right... Tao's?"
Xie Lingqin racked her brains for a moment, "I don't pay much attention to this."
"oh……"
Nangong Xingyun seemed to be deep in thought, "That's really fast development."
“Naturally, it changes every day.”
Xie Lingqin glanced to the side and saw Nangong Xingyun looking at the sky.
"Yes, you may be middle-aged now, but you're still quite handsome, really."
"I was thinking, you said, such a wonderful thing exists in the world, could it be that your mother has gone to our world?"
"I don't think so."
Xie Lingqin said with a serious look in her eyes, "Didn't the black-robed man say that people of the Yun Clan will be reborn into the Yun Clan in their next life? What's more, my mother is the patriarch of the Yun Clan, with the purest Yun Clan bloodline."
“What you say makes sense.” Nangong Xingyun withdrew his gaze and sighed softly, “A single glance, a lifetime…”
Xie Lingqin wanted to say something more, but seeing Nangong Xingyun's sudden dejected expression, she understood.
The Emperor was wondering if his mother would meet him there if she could go to that world.
To love someone for a lifetime...
Xie Lingqin did not disturb Nangong Xingyun any further, but silently walked away to the other side.
The air is filled with a pleasant floral fragrance.
It's almost Chinese New Year's Eve, but the weather is so warm.
"Xiao Qin..."
Xu Yiran suddenly walked over in the garden path.
Xie Lingqin looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid the Southern Emperor will really hold a public martial arts contest to find you a husband," Xu Yiran said frankly, though a hint of unease flickered across her face.
Xie Lingqin smiled slightly and shook her head, "No, I won't agree, and besides, I am now..."
I can't accept anyone.
Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin.
I can't accept anyone, so I guess that includes him too.
“Xu Yiran, when I was trapped at the bottom of the snow cliff, I actually dreamed of Yuwen Yao. You know, he hurt me so badly, and I still dreamed of him. Shouldn’t I speed things up? I can’t wait any longer.”
Xu Yiran hesitated for a moment, looking at her, "Actually, just as we left the border and headed towards the capital, the Southern Qi and Northern Rong were no longer just testing each other, but had officially started a war. I just didn't tell you, the Southern Emperor didn't tell you, and the Southern Phoenix didn't tell you either." Xu Yiran said, "We all wanted you to take good care of your health, so we did everything we could to cut off your communication network."
Xie Lingqin's pupils contracted slightly, but she didn't show much emotion. She simply asked, "So, what are the results so far?"
"We have already exchanged three blows, and the two sides are locked in a fierce battle with no clear winner or loser. However, I need to tell you that Bei Rong is being led by Yu Qingyi, and General Xie is also about to arrive with his troops."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "What about Western Xia?"
"The Fifth Prince and Qin Xun are still on their way. It's strange, since they are reporting to the Emperor, they should be traveling at full speed. However, according to the news from the Heavenly Mystery Hall, the Fifth Prince and Qin Xun are traveling at a leisurely pace. Moreover, I have also asked the people who are lurking in Xixia to investigate, and the Fifth Prince and Qin Xun have not stopped at any military posts."
Xie Lingqin lowered her eyelashes slightly, lost in thought. "Qin Xun wouldn't harm me. I'm more worried that he might do something foolish because of me, and this Fifth Prince..."
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered. "This person is not simple."
"Then...when are you going to the border?"
Xie Lingqin suddenly looked at Xu Yiran, her brows furrowed in a deep and unfathomable way, "No rush."
...
Nangong Xingyun had originally intended for Xie Lingqin to go to the princess's residence that he had designated for her, but Xie Lingqin still wanted to spend a few more days with the clan government and her maternal grandfather.
After leaving the palace, Nan Lingqin went directly to see the man in black robes.
Since arriving in Southern Qi with the Southern Emperor that day, he has not entered the palace, but instead lived in a small grove of trees on the outskirts of the capital.
Nangong Xingyun even personally helped him build a thatched hut.
"Princess, you need to rest for a while."
Qingxia followed behind, reminding her, "You've been walking for two hours already."
"It's nothing, I'm not tired. This black-robed man certainly knows how to choose a good spot."
Qingxia said no more, but a sound seemed to emanate from the shadows.
Nan Lingqin paused, then suddenly called out into the shadows, "Tinghai."
Tinghai immediately appeared, "Miss Lingqin."
"Didn't I tell you to rest and recuperate properly? Why are you out here?"
Nan Lingqin knew that after he was injured by Zhuidamu that day, he was found by Xu Yiran's people and then sent to Nanqi, where he had been recuperating.
"Reporting to Miss Lingqin, I have fully recovered and am ready to obey your orders."
Tinghai lowered his head, respectful and attentive, his aura much more restrained.
“Your subordinate… also wants revenge,” Tinghai added. “Our adoptive father’s family cannot die in vain.”
Nan Lingqin sighed, "You want to go to the border to fight?"
"yes."
"You may leave now."
"……yes."
Although Tinghai was unwilling, he still obeyed and concealed his presence.
Qingxia remained silent throughout, instead following Xie Lingqin forward.
At the edge of the woods, a quiet and elegant cottage stood, but the owner of the cottage was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden from view, and he walked silently.
Xie Lingqin told Qingxia to wait for her where she was before she walked toward the cottage.
"You've arrived?"
The man in black robes walked away.
Xie Lingqin approached, her skirt brushing against the stone bricks on the ground with a soft rustling sound. She bowed and greeted, "Senior."
"No need to call me senior, just call me Black Robe. I see that your mind is clear, your eyes are bright, your footsteps are silent, and your breathing is steady. You must have already integrated the spiritual techniques of the Cloud Clan."
