Chapter 315 "Do what you want."...
The mood of the crowd had just begun to warm up, but this sudden remark brought it down to freezing point.
"Who is it?" Chen Bi shouted in a low voice. Although she had not assigned anyone to guard this place, no one would come here to disturb her aunt's rest.
What do you want to do by showing up at this time?
Pang Yu noticed Chen Bi's displeasure and quickly tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll go check on him."
"Yes..." Wen Liang frowned slightly, feeling that the voice seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on why.
While the others were still confused and hadn't reacted, Wen Yu suddenly understood a little and his guard relaxed.
"What do you mean?" Wen Yu got off the bed and went up to the door. From a few steps away, he could see the true face of the person coming. "Lord Cangling?"
It was the hidden spirit that had disappeared for quite some time.
Her hair was as white as snow, and she had two swords on her waist. She walked into the room against the light. She looked unruly and unruly, looking down on everyone and feeling independent from the world.
"What are you doing here?" Zang Ling didn't answer directly. Instead, he let go of his two swords and used his free hands to pick Wen Yu up. "Lie down well."
Three thousand silver threads slid across Wen Yu's hands until she suddenly fell back onto the couch. She could still smell the faint smell of blood from Zang Ling's hair.
Somehow, even though Zang Ling didn't answer, Wen Yu seemed to be able to guess, "You went to Tanming Island..."
She should have thought of it earlier. Even she had heard of the wonderful uses of the zither's dragon bones, so how could Lord Zangling, as a supreme god, not know it?
"Hmm..." Zang Ling hummed indifferently, then picked up Wen Yu's teacup and drank it in one gulp, "I'm going."
"Did you fight Kui Xuan?" Wen Yu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately grabbed Zang Ling's shoulder to check for the source of the bloody smell. "Are you injured?"
"I thought—" Zang Ling tightened his grip on the teacup, staring at the person in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes, "You'll ask me if I've obtained the zither's keel..."
The room suddenly fell silent. Wen Yu paused and did not reply immediately.
Chen Bi and the others on the side looked at each other, not daring to say a word.
Zang Ling looked away, raised her head and stretched her muscles. She knew that this trip to Tan Ming Island would not be in vain.
Whether it's Yuan Que or Wen Yu, as long as they live well and are by her side, that's enough.
"I'll get the zither ribs myself." Wen Yu never intended to rely on others to do what he should do. "The most important thing is for you, Lord God, to take care of yourself."
It was she, not Zang Ling, who promised Fengdu Jun and Taimu.
"It's not my blood." Seeing her expression darken, Zang Ling quickly explained, "But... it's not Kui Xuan's either."
Ming Kun, who had been standing by silently, suddenly became extremely surprised. "What?"
Wen Yu slowly withdrew his hand, and his puzzled gaze looked up and fixed on Zang Ling's temples.
Upon closer inspection, a faint blood mist was hidden among her hair. Although it was not obvious, it was real. How could it not be her blood?
"I was a step too late. Someone had already taken the zither's keel." Zang Ling's face was gloomy, and even his voice dropped. "Tanming Island is in shambles. I didn't encounter Kui Xuan. The blood on my body was from investigating the aftermath."
"Tanming Island is in a mess?" Ming Kun seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary and couldn't help asking, "You mean Tanming Island? A mess?"
Kuixuan is an ancient demon beast. Even if someone really arrived at Tanming Island before Zang Ling, they would definitely not be able to get close to it easily, let alone cause a mess of battle.
Looking at the world today, how many people can fight with Kui Xuan?
The only thing that answered Mingkun was Zang Ling’s silence.
She knew it was strange, but what could she do when the fact was like that?
He could only turn back quickly, thinking of telling Wen Yu about this, so that she wouldn't worry and make a wasted trip in anger.
Wen Yu felt dizzy and confused for a moment.
For tens of thousands of years, Qin Longgu has been staying peacefully on Tanming Island, guarded by Kui Xuan.
Now that she knew where it was, she would go and get it no matter how difficult it was.
But now, due to one wrong step, the qin's keel has disappeared and is nowhere to be found. Where should she go to find it?
Tai Ai is still trapped in Gouwu Mountain. Every day she stays trapped means more suffering. The earth veins have not been repaired yet. Every moment she stays trapped means more danger for Central Continent and even the world.
There must be another way, there must be.
"Do you know who it is..." Wen Yu was exhausted, but still did not give up the last glimmer of hope.
Whether it's negotiating for peace or going to the door, she will always fight for it.
Chen Bi hurried forward to support Wen Yu and said worriedly: "Aunt——"
Just as everyone was rushing to surround Wen Yu, a voice as light as a mountain spring and as cold as ice sounded, passing through the obstacles and falling steadily into Wen Yu's ears, almost instantly calming her anxiety.
"It's me."
Zang Ling and others stood on both sides, looking outside in the direction of the sound, while Wen Yu, who was in the middle, saw the person coming as soon as he raised his eyes.
"You..." Wen Yu murmured.
Emperor Taihao? How could it be him?
Hadn't he disappeared in Gouwu Mountain a long time ago? Could it be that he left first to... get the zither rib for her?
Compared to Zang Ling who was covered in dust, Tai Hao had a neat appearance and clean clothes, and he looked very calm and relaxed.
Didn’t they say that someone had a fierce battle with Kui Xuan, leaving Tanming Island in ruins?
If it was him, how could...
Could he have escaped unscathed from the battle with Kui Xuan without any effort? But how could he explain the bloody smell on Zang Ling's body?
Wen Yu's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and the many possibilities were like a tightly entangled ball of silk threads, which could not be cut off or sorted out.
He stood outside the threshold, dressed in white, bathed in a pale golden light. There was a hazy sense of unreality about him, as if he would disappear at any moment.
Tai Hao's gaze went straight to Wen Yu, without paying any attention to anyone else. As he lingered, he seemed to be describing the most precious existence in the world, so focused and gentle.
“…” Wen Yu opened her lips slightly, but ultimately remained silent.
She didn't know what to say, let alone how to address him. Was it Emperor Taihao, or... Song Linsheng?
He left her in the mountains, only to risk his life to get what she needed. This made her anxious, angry, and...
An unspeakable feeling was wandering around in Wen Yu's chest, but she couldn't find an outlet to vent or explode, and she felt so suffocated that it hurt.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot at the door?" Dan Qing appeared from behind Tai Hao and glanced at his master in surprise. "Aren't you rushing back without stopping?"
It’s not that he is disrespectful to the king, but the master’s reactions along the way are too strange and really puzzling.
This sound brought the undercurrent hidden in the silence to the surface and pulled everyone back from their thoughts.
"What's wrong, Priest?" Wen Liangjian looked puzzled.
Hadn't the priest already changed his route and left after parting a few days ago? Why did he come back at this time...
Chen Bi calmly stopped in front of Wen Yu. She had not forgotten that this man had talked nonsense in front of her aunt in Jiangyang Mansion.
"Who are you?" Pang Yu thought to himself, watching the increasingly bustling inner chamber, "How dare you barge into Prince Chengping's residence?"
In the chaos, Ming Kun looked at Dan Qing who had stepped in without any courtesy, and then looked at Tai Hao who was still standing outside the door in an orderly manner.
The little fairy from back then now has her own companion beast, but their personalities are completely different and exactly the same.
"Tsk tsk." Ming Kun shrugged and looked away.
Dan Qing's eyes glared at him, having obviously heard Ming Kun's death. "Tsk tsk, what are you talking about? Where did this chicken come from?"
"You--" Dan Qing's face turned stern, and he obviously couldn't bear to hear this.
He was the first phoenix born and raised by nature, but something went wrong and he became possessed by a divine weapon and became a sword spirit.
How dare you compare him to a fallen chicken?
Looking at the situation, her previous idea was indeed correct. Wen Yu snapped her fingers to separate the two.
"Danqing, why are you here?" Wen Yu was also puzzled by what Wen Liangjian said. "Where is Guanlan?"
She couldn't face Taihao, nor could she ask about the whereabouts of the qin's keel, so she could only change the subject and start from somewhere else.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yu seemed to have thought of something, and without waiting for Dan Qing's answer, he turned to look at Zang Ling.
If Guan Lan, who was with Dan Qing, was not here, then where did Yu Chang, who was with Zang Ling, go?
"That day I sent you back to Muyao Town, and Yu Chang and I parted ways." Zang Ling obviously knew what Wen Yu hadn't asked, so he immediately explained, "I don't know where he is now."
She had no friendship with Yu Chang, so she didn't care where he was going. But now facing Wen Yu's eyes, Zang Ling regretted not asking more questions at that time.
"After that bighead carp and I arrived at Tanming Island, it left when it didn't see Yu Chang." Dan Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Although he knew that Guan Lan came to look for Yu Chang, he could actually just leave it alone and walk away given the situation on the island.
It's really despicable.
Wen Yu's fingertips curled up slightly. She couldn't understand where Yu Chang would go at this moment.
Tai Hao, who abandoned her in Gouwu Mountain, went to find the dragon bone of the zither for her, but Yu Chang, who had always been with her, disappeared in the end.
Wen Yu caught a glimpse of the man still standing outside the door, and unconsciously turned her face away. She really couldn't face him.
The trip to Tanming Island was so dangerous that it was no wonder she always had strange dreams when she was unconscious. She seemed to see Song Linsheng turning around and leaving covered in blood.
Fortunately, Tai Hao today is not the Song Linsheng of the past. At least he has the ability to protect himself.
The Lord of Zhuoying Palace and Emperor Taihao would definitely be able to deal with Kui Xuan.
Afraid that he was not Song Linsheng, and also afraid that he was just Song Linsheng, Wen Yu felt ridiculous for her own absurd thoughts.
Amidst the chaos, Taihao's voice was still so firm and powerful that he stabilized the situation as soon as he opened his mouth.
"With this, you can do whatever you want."
Wen Yu's whole body stiffened. Even though she knew that these words were directed at her, she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened and responded.
"It really is the keel of a zither..." Zang Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Tai Hao several times with ambiguous expressions.
This guy is quite capable as he was able to take the zither's keel from Kui Xuan and escape unscathed.
"Of course." Dan Qing looked up proudly and gestured towards Wen Yu, "Mr. Wen Yu, this is the keel of a zither delivered to your door—"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words implied that Wen Yu should hurry up and take it.
After all, it is really not decent to let the master stand outside the door all the time. Wen Yujun is just an insignificant fairy, how could he ignore the emperor?
Wen Yu certainly knew that the most important thing at the moment was to take the zither's dragon bone and go into the mountains to rescue people.
She walked forward slowly, each step was extremely difficult.
For her, the keel of the piano was only a few steps away, but how far did Taihao walk to get it?
Tai Hao raised the corners of his lips slightly, a smile making him look even softer. He then raised his hand and presented the object in his palm to Wen Yu.
A bone stained with golden light slowly fell into her hand. Wen Yu curled her fingertips slightly and looked at the legendary zither dragon bone with doubt.
"The qin keel was originally a small section of Kui Xuan's spine." Tai Hao seemed to know what Wen Yu was hesitating about, and explained softly and calmly, "Don't worry, I personally took it out from him, there's nothing wrong with it."
Wen Yu's expression eased slightly. Taking out the bones would probably require skinning and pulling out the tendons. He thought that the blood mist on Zang Ling's body must be Kui Xuan's. No matter how Tai Hao did it, at least he didn't look injured.
That's good, that's good.
"I..." After struggling for a while, Wen Yu spoke with great difficulty, "Xiaoxian..."
She couldn't just ask others to go through fire and water for her without saying a word, nor could she take it for granted that Taihao's efforts would lead to her success.
What was originally her responsibility has now become someone else's burden.
He is not injured now, but what if he is defeated by Kui Xuan?
She didn't deserve it.
The threshold stood between the two of them, clearly separating them so far, but somehow, when Wen Yu and Tai Hao looked at each other, they seemed so close.
Just as a huge wave of self-blame and guilt was overwhelming, Wen Yu heard Tai Hao say -
"Do what you want."
