Chapter 389 Let’s meet for the last time
"The person the princess saw at the Heavenly Academy...seemed familiar."
"Ji You, when the human delegation visited the Snow Region, there was a man who was seriously injured and unconscious due to an attack by the barbarians. It was him."
"No wonder the princess knew him. It turns out that guy was the one who injured General Asakura. He's so young."
In Shengjing Fairy Garden, Lin Dou and Yashan, who had just returned from Tianshu Academy, were sitting in the courtyard chatting in low voices.
They did not stay in Tianshu Academy for too long. After all, this visit was completely spur of the moment. Only Feng Yang had some purpose, while the others were just accompanying them and there was nothing they had to see.
So they wandered around the inner and outer courtyards for a while, and after seeing the inner courtyard disciples practicing in Zizhu Zen Forest, they returned.
Because of different concerns, after confirming Ji You's identity, the first thing Yashan thought of was Asakura's injury, and he suddenly felt a desire to fight.
What Lin Dou was thinking about was Feng Yang's slightly raised earlobes and his slightly pink cheeks.
Those were all expressions of a demon woman's affections...
However, Feng Yang's subsequent response seemed to deny this, making him feel as if he was overthinking it.
He stepped on a blue stone beside the garden, and kept stepping it into the ground of the flower bed as his thoughts kept turning over and over, and his expression looked a little irritated.
"Palace Master Zuoqiu of the Heavenly Academy is indeed as calculating as the rumors say. Although he doesn't show it, he has actually been observing us the entire time."
"Perfection in the upper five realms is the last realm before reaching the immortal realm. I wonder if the demon kings of our clan have a chance of defeating him."
On the star-gazing tower on the east side of the fairy garden, Ye Han was muttering to his sister while drinking tea.
However, as he was speaking, he found that his sister did not respond, so he turned around to look.
At this time, Feng Yang was holding a teacup. Although he was looking at the rising sun, his eyes were a little distracted, and it was obvious that he was a little absent-minded.
Seeing this, Ye Han put down his teacup and asked, "Did you see what you wanted to see during your visit to the Heavenly Academy?"
Feng Yang nodded when he heard this: "I have a little understanding now."
"Your attitude actually surprised me a little."
"Why is it unexpected?" Feng Yang looked at him puzzled.
"On the day you first arrived in Yunzhou, Yu Ling, in order to curry your favor, ordered his retainers to deliver a box of medical books. Did you know about this?"
Feng Yang didn't know why he brought this up, but he nodded anyway: "Xiao Rou later passed it to me, and the content is pretty good."
"Actually, it wasn't Xiaorou who originally handed over those medical books. I brought them to your room. After seeing the portraits in your room, I told Xiaorou not to disturb you. Also, on the day you led the tribe on the migration, you said you were delayed in the northern border for a while because you saw Kyushu for the first time. You actually went to Fengzhou, right?"
Ye Han turned his head and looked in the direction where he could see Nishan. He murmured, "You and I grew up together. There are some things you can't hide from me. You like that human named Ji You, but why didn't you talk to him today?"
Hearing the word "like", Feng Yang's eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She really didn't expect her brother to observe so carefully, nor did she expect that her true feelings would be exposed at this moment.
But she was not panicked at all, just tapping the table lightly with her white fingers.
"Before I came to Jiuzhou, I never understood why my father, you, and the five clan leaders were so stubborn about wanting to return to Jiuzhou. But after I actually saw Jiuzhou, I realized that our people really shouldn't suffer in the freezing cold. I still don't like war, but I feel sorry for the plight of my people."
Feng Yang looked at Ye Han: "If we stay in Yunzhou, we will definitely not be able to get along with the human race. I am the princess of the demon race, and I have to consider the feelings of my people."
Ye Han was slightly startled: "Is that why you don't want to take him seriously?"
"Liking something is my own business, just like liking the stars, the sun and the moon. But I don't have to be known by the stars, I don't have to be understood by the sun and the moon, and naturally, it has nothing to do with him."
Feng Yang looked up at the blue sky as he spoke, his soft voice as calm as still water, without any ripples.
Liking someone is a personal matter and may have nothing to do with the other person.
Just like the stars don’t know that you like them, the sun and the moon don’t know that you like them, and you don’t need them to like you.
Ye Han was slightly startled after hearing this. He had never expected to hear such an answer. He stared at his sister for a long time before speaking: "I didn't know you thought that way."
Feng Yang turned around and said, "I am no longer that naive little girl."
"Do you feel sad?"
"Maybe a little, but my understanding of him is just from hearsay, so I don't have a very strong sense of reality."
"In that case, choose one of the five clan princes to marry."
"I won't marry."
"Why don't you marry?"
Feng Yang put the teacup on the table: "I can remain silent for my people, and I can also stay single for myself."
Ye Han straightened up instantly: "Could it be that you can remain single for the rest of your life?"
"Brother, are you still afraid that you can't support me?"
"Feng Yang..."
"Brother, there's no need to persuade me. You know I've never listened to advice since I was a child. Even my father couldn't do it, so how could you do it?"
Feng Yang put down his teacup and stood up slowly. "I'm going back soon. The human race has a lot of interesting little things. I've made an appointment with Xiaorou to go shopping together. Big brother, can you come with us?"
Ye Han was silent for a long time before he raised his head and shook his head: "Have fun, and remember to bring some gifts for Mother."
"Then Feng Yang will take his leave first."
"Feng Yang."
"?"
Feng Yang had just taken a step when he heard his brother's shout and stopped, turning around and looking at him in confusion.
"Someone saw Ji You in the city yesterday. Enter Chunhua Lane and head west. Turn into the second alley and you'll find his current residence." Ye Han twirled the bone bracelet on his wrist. "The Holy Land of the Sages is an opportunity for the demon race. We will wage war when it opens and completely seize its fortune. The next time you meet him, it might truly be a matter of life and death."
After hearing this, Feng Yang was silent for a long time, and his red lips couldn't help but pursed slightly, then he bowed and said goodbye.
Leaning on the railing and watching his sister passing through the courtyard, Ye Han put his hand on the railing.
His father had always told him that the most important thing to become the true ruler of the Nine Provinces was the will of heaven and destiny, so he did not deceive Feng Yang.
The human race wants to repair the holy land of the ancestors and continue their fortune, while the demon race wants to take this opportunity to replace them.
With Ji You's fighting power and personality, he would definitely not surrender to the demon clan after changing the sun and moon to a new sky. Even if the five clan leaders were asked to join forces, they would not be able to keep him without hurting his life, let alone make him a slave to his sister.
Moreover, since they are not of our race, their hearts must be different. If I really keep them, it will probably cause trouble in the future. So my sister must be regretful about this, but he hopes to try to make his sister have fewer regrets, the less the better.
Ye Han looked at it for a long time, then slapped the wooden fence.
Damn that human yellow-haired guy!!
"His Highness Feng Yang."
"Mr. Lindou, good afternoon."
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
In the teahouse in the front yard, Lin Dou couldn't help but speak enthusiastically when he saw Feng Yang coming through the courtyard.
Feng Yang and his maidservant stood still and bowed slowly: "My brother has asked me to go out and buy some gifts for my mother."
"After these few days of wandering around, I've gotten to know Shengjing quite well. Your Highness, do you need me to accompany you?"
"Don't bother. Besides, it's not easy to take a man to choose women's things."
"It's Lin Dou who's being abrupt..."
Feng Yang responded with a faint smile, then called his maid Xiao Rou, and the two of them left the fairy garden.
Shengjing City is very large. The East and West Markets alone are enough to spend two days strolling around, and the shops adjacent to Yongsheng Street are so numerous that it is dazzling.
Princess Fengyang picked gifts for almost everyone around her, including her father, the emperor, her mother, her younger brothers and sisters, and her master Baili Shengshou.
In addition, she also bought some small and exquisite toys, such as clay whistles, rattles, small gongs, dove carts, etc. She ordered more than a dozen of each and planned to take them back to Yunzhou, put them in the newly built clinic, and give them to the children who came to see a doctor.
These things added up to a lot, but they didn't need to carry them. The merchants could deliver the goods, and they just had to tell them to send them to the fairy garden. So as they walked around, the things in their hands didn't increase.
From the time of sunset at 5 p.m. to the time of 5 p.m., the sun moves downward.
At this time, Feng Yang brought his maid Xiao Rou to the middle of the long street. There was a Chunfeng Lane here, and through it was Chunhua Lane.
When he saw the deep alley in front of him, Feng Yang couldn't help but stop.
She knew what her brother's last words meant, and she was also aware of the implications behind his words.
This may be her last time to come to Shengjing. In addition, she is unwilling to go to the battlefield, and even more unwilling to see the scene of devastation, so this may be her last chance, and she will never have it again.
So after thinking for a long time, Feng Yang stepped into the alley, his crimson eyes flickering slightly.
As her personal maid, Xiaorou naturally followed behind her. She was originally prepared to go directly south back to the garden, but unexpectedly the princess suddenly changed direction, so she showed a puzzled look.
But despite her doubts, she followed him, and then followed her princess through the streets and alleys to a gatehouse with double doors.
What made her feel even more strange was that her princess stopped here, didn't even knock on the door, and just stood there quietly.
"Princess……?"
"Stay here for a while."
"?"
Feng Yang stood under the branches of a locust tree deep in the next yard, looking at the wooden door with some hesitation.
She was just worried that she would never come back, so she hurried here, but when she arrived, she found that she seemed to have no reason to knock on the door.
Back then in the Snow Region, she had secretly developed feelings for Ji You, and then she felt more and more longing for him as they got to know each other for a long time. But in the final analysis, it was a one-sided thing, and the other party didn't know.
What should she say after knocking on the door? Greetings or reminiscing? Either option struck her as deliberate and strange.
At the same time, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of tea.
Ji You was sitting in front of the tea table, writing down what he had gained in the past few days with pen and paper. As he was writing, he couldn't help but look up and frowned at Kuang Cheng in front of him.
"You've been looking at me since I came back. Can you spot the big fat boy?"
"No, I just heard from Yuan Chen that Brother Ji went to Tianshuyuan again today?"
Ji You put the brush in his hand behind his ear and said, "I told you before that I had some doubts about cultivation. I have been looking for answers in Tianshuyuan these days."
Kuang Cheng couldn't help but stand up after hearing this: "Brother Ji, do you know that the demon tribe reported to the palace today and then visited the Heavenly Academy?"
"I know. I saw it when the demon delegation went there."
"Have you also seen the demon princess?"
Ji You nodded: "I see."
Kuang Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Then why not bring her to our yard?"
Hearing this, Yuan Chen, who was engrossed in reading a storybook, suddenly looked up and thought, "A demon princess? Am I going to have another sister?"
Ji You narrowed his eyes instantly after hearing this: "You rented this head, right? Why are you in such a hurry to use it?"
Kuang Cheng was slightly startled: "Brother Ji didn't talk to her?"
"It's just a chance meeting, just a quick greeting."
"That's not right, Brother Ji. His Highness Feng Yang missed you. How could you just say hello?"
"If you have nothing to do, eat some Liuliumei." Ji You pulled the small steamer filled with candied fruit in front of Yuanchen to him.
Kuang Cheng glanced at the dried apricots on it and said, "What I said is true. Although you haven't seen each other for many years, His Highness Feng Yang is still thinking about you."
Ji You looked at Yuan Chen: "Did you see it?"
Yuan Chen raised his confused eyes: "What's wrong, brother-in-law?"
"Look at Gongshu Chou's masterpiece and see the case of a bad brain."
"I have evidence!" Kuang Cheng puffed out his chest.
Ji You put down the case file in his hand: "What evidence?"
"Back when I was in charge of the monster stone trade in Fengzhou, I discovered that monster merchants loved buying Fengzhou landscape picture albums. Later, after asking around, I learned that Her Highness Fengyang was in charge of the trade. I guess she wanted to know where Brother Ji lived, so I wrote a biography for you."
"?"
"Yes, it's the one I said I lost after I finished writing it. In fact, I deliberately gave it to the demon tribe."
Kuang Cheng pursed his lips and said, "That biography mentioned that you killed the evil corpse in Wanzhuo Mountain. As a result, when entering this country, His Highness Feng Yang went to the mountain to see that place. He looked at it for a long time, and his eyes were just like the way Wei Rui looked at me."
Ji You clapped his hands: "Well said, when the arrogant ghost picks up the sword and doesn't know who to kill, just say so, and the Lu sisters will also push it onto you."
Kuang Cheng immediately said: "No, no, this is totally unnecessary."
"It's impossible for the demon race and the human race to coexist peacefully. Feng Yang is an extremely rational woman. Even if she really has feelings for me, she won't let it go."
"Brother Ji, do you have a good impression of Princess Fengyang?"
"After a trip to the Snow Region, I discovered that the demons living there seem to possess a kind of tenacious beauty that stands proudly in the cold wind, far superior to the cunning and deceitful nature of the human race."
Ji You finished speaking and stood up: "I'm hungry, let's go out for a meal. I'll be leaving soon. I won't feel at ease if you don't spend all your travel expenses."
After hearing this, Kuang Cheng stood up, pulled Yuan Chen, who was immersed in the book, and followed in the direction Ji You went.
As soon as they stepped over the threshold, the three of them were stunned for a moment, because Feng Yang was looking at them quietly in the alley at that time.
The demon race does not practice the way of heaven, but they are born with all five senses, especially the great demons in the realm of heavenly demons, so Her Royal Highness the Princess can easily hear the gossip in the courtyard.
When she heard that the demon princess was obsessed with her, she was completely dumbfounded. Then she realized from the voice that the Da Xia official who accompanied him all the way was actually Ji You's best friend. She also suddenly realized that the longing she had expressed had been seen by the other party.
As a woman, she is naturally shy, and the demon race is no exception, so she almost ran away.
But when she heard Ji You say that the demons all had the beauty of tenacity that stood proudly in the cold wind, she couldn't help but stop, because this was the first time she heard someone describe herself and her people in this way.
Ji You and Kuang Cheng were also dumbfounded. They never expected that the demon princess would appear outside the door.
"His Highness Feng Yang...?"
"I took the wrong turn..."
Feng Yang came back to his senses instantly, turned around and hurried out of the alley.
However, as she walked, she remembered what her brother said about the last time they met before leaving, and she stopped unconsciously.
People will have countless regrets in their lives, and these regrets are usually caused by making wrong choices.
Feng Yang was silent for a long time, then turned around and said, "Mr. Ji, long time no see. I thought this was the front door, but I went to the back door by mistake..."
Ji You glanced at Kuang Cheng and said, "Yes, the front door is a little unclear. It's no wonder Your Highness went in the wrong direction..."
"Um... Master Ji's arm has healed?"
"I've recovered a long time ago without any discomfort. I have to thank the princess for her careful care."
When Feng Yang heard him say the words "take good care of him", he immediately remembered the time when he wagged his tail for him in the snowy area, and the blush that had just appeared on his cheeks deepened.
In fact, she still doesn't know what she was thinking at that time. After all, the tails of the women of the demon tribe can only be shaken for their husbands to see.
Seeing her sudden silence, Ji You couldn't help but speak up: "How is Doctor Baili now?"
"Master is also in Yunzhou. He is in good health. He is currently cultivating herbs that cannot survive in the Snow Region and wants to research some medicines."
"It seems that Doctor Baili is still busy."
"Master is like this. After all, medical skills are his lifelong pursuit."
Feng Yang was standing sideways. This was the etiquette of their demon tribe. It stipulated that unmarried women were not allowed to look men in the eye.
It was this slightly deviated step that made Ji You notice the slightly raised pink ear tips of the demon princess and the slight sway behind her buttocks.
Oh no, that bastard Gongshu Chou is actually a realist...
Feng Yang was waiting for Ji You to continue speaking, but suddenly found that the other party had stopped talking. He raised his eyes slightly and noticed the other party's eyes.
Suddenly, the demon princess hid her restless tail.
That’s what I said.
Kuang Cheng swallowed and turned to look at Ji You beside him.
As the sun sets in the afternoon, brilliant clouds cover the sky, making Mount Ni appear incredibly magnificent.
Deep in the Nishan Mountain, in the quiet hall of the Zizai Hall of the Tianshu Academy, Zuo Qiuyang and several core elders called over Elder Ge, who had been to the Western Regions with the diplomatic delegation, and listened to him recount his journey to the Snow Region.
After hearing him say that the demon princess had taken personal care of Ji You, they couldn't help but stand up and gather in front of the cloth roll again.
Then, Palace Master Zuoqiu held the brush and circled out "Little Master of Lingjian Mountain", "Dan Sect", "Lu Family" and other names among the various messy information.
When they met with the demon delegation at noon today, they found that the demon princess's eyes were full of Ji You's image. Only then did they suddenly realize that their previous thinking seemed to be wrong.
But when these relevant information were eliminated, they held their breath instantly.
They did it. They had been using this thing to analyze the purpose of the demon race's sudden visit to the human race, but they couldn't put the pieces together no matter how hard they tried. Now they realize how wrong they were.
The whereabouts of the demon princess, including the things she inquired about, had nothing to do with the demon clan's purpose. She liked Ji You, so she secretly inquired about Lingjian Mountain and Danzong!
"Ji You, your fiancée has found someone from another tribe?!"
"It's too fancy, damn, it's really too fancy..."
"I heard that he was injured by the Barbarian Soldier King while on a diplomatic mission to the Snow Region, and had to use a wheelchair after waking up. Who would have thought that he wouldn't be idle even in a wheelchair!!"
Amidst the discussions, Zuo Qiuyang put down the brush in his hand and looked at the scroll again.
After eliminating the information that was mixed in due to misunderstandings, the things that the demons had been inquiring about in the past few days suddenly became clear and quickly formed a line in his eyes.
The demon race is exploring the destiny of the human race, aiming at the holy land of the sages.
In an instant, Zuo Qiuyang realized that the moment the holy land of the sages was restored, there would be another storm in the world of Qingyun.
(The last plot is about to begin, Feng Yang must show up in advance to enter the story line, I think I can only put it here, please vote for me)
