Since the incidents at Chaoyang Palace, the people on night duty now are all personally selected by Gao Chengwei, his trusted subordinates.
These people would never lie.
But, heads are falling from the sky?
Moreover, the heads of the Shadowmoon Guard leader and his elite entourage were truly unbelievable!
Gao Chengwei also hurriedly followed and stood next to Shang Xiche, looking up at him as well.
He was a martial artist, and his hearing and eyesight were the best among the group. What he saw startled him greatly!
There were two people high in the sky!
He could even see the two people's clothes fluttering in the air as the night wind blew.
This is definitely not a case of his eyes playing tricks on him!
“This Gao Chengwei is quite capable; he seems to have discovered us,” Ji Fengming said with a grin to Hei Xiao beside him.
"The Gao family ancestors were among the founding fathers of the Great Zhao Dynasty. They were loyal to the Great Zhao royal family for generations and were very strict with themselves. However, they were too rigid in their thinking and did not know how to be flexible, which is why they were trusted by the emperors of the Great Zhao Dynasty," Black Owl said calmly.
Ji Fengming said with disdain, "What do you mean by being inflexible? He's just blindly protecting that suspicious, vicious, and immoral bastard Shang Xiche! He's a complete idiot! I'll go down and give him a piece of my mind, and maybe scare that unworthy emperor Shang Xiche a good scare!"
“Fengming…” Black Owl reached out and grabbed Ji Fengming.
Ji Fengming grinned and grabbed his hand in return, like a child asking an adult for a reward. He pouted slightly and shook Hei Xiao's hand: "I'll wear a human skin mask so I won't reveal my identity, okay?"
Black Owl: "..."
This kid...
When did this kid learn to act cute?
But it seems that this is how it should be.
Yunxiao's expression towards him often revealed a spoiled and willful side that left him helpless.
“I…I’ll go with you,” Black Owl silently took out his human skin mask and put it on.
His submissive and accommodating manner stirred Ji Fengming's heart once again, causing him to become dazed and his body to sway, almost falling off the flying sword.
"Be careful, don't always act recklessly. Even if you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, falling down like this is no joke," Black Owl quickly helped him up.
Ji Fengming smiled brightly, her eyebrows like crescent moons and her eyes like stars: "What are you afraid of? Even if I accidentally fall, you'll still be there to save me, won't you?"
Black Owl hid his other hand in his wide sleeve, his fingers curling slightly, his heart filled with mixed feelings: "Yes, I will do everything I can to save you, but you must be careful, I'm afraid there will be times when I'm powerless."
"That's alright, I won't blame you," Ji Fengming carefully expressed his tender emotions, but his face still had a carefree and irresponsible look.
As the two pressed down on the sword tips, Ji Fengming sensed that Hei Xiao was trying to pull back and create distance between them, but he stubbornly pulled Hei Xiao back.
He met Black Owl's questioning eyes.
Ji Fengming's ears turned slightly red, but he chuckled without changing his expression and said, "If we stand close enough, the hem of our clothes can completely cover the swords under our feet. Immortals stand in mid-air, so if they see that we are standing on swords, they will be exposed."
"Can……"
Even gods descending to earth don't hold hands!
Black Owl glanced down at their overlapping sleeves and swallowed back what he was about to say.
This guy seems to have a habit of putting his arm around people's shoulders; he was like that when the two of them first met. Moreover, the little bandit seems to have this habit as well. If he were to say it out loud now, it would only make him seem too deliberate.
