Jiuxi waved her sleeves, and a breeze swept past. Tang Wan gradually woke from her deep sleep. She also removed the barrier in the courtyard. But at this moment, the sound of drums and music rang out outside the door. Then a servant came crawling into the house and said, "Master, it's bad! There's a sedan chair outside, saying they want to take you home!"
Jiuxi calculated the days. It was still two days short of the seven days the Shadow Demon had mentioned that day. Why was it coming to see her now? She followed the servant into the courtyard without delay and opened the main door a crack. Outside, a maidservant was constantly scattering wintersweet flowers. Blown by the cool breeze, it seemed as if it was raining flowers one after another. One could even see the clear veins of the wintersweet flowers. The musicians were puffing up their cheeks and blowing on the trumpet. The ground was covered with a red carpet that stretched all the way to the sky. Next to the sedan chair, a man dressed in black was waiting. Jiuxi recognized him; it was the Shadow Demon from that day.
Coincidentally, Tang Wan also walked into the yard at this time, tugged at Jiuxi's sleeve, and said, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Jiuxi hurriedly closed the main gate and dismissed all the maids and servants in the courtyard. He looked at Tang Wan very seriously and said, "Can I switch bodies with you?"
Tang Wan's face looked a little ugly, and she said, "But the enemy has come to our door?" But Tang Wan was still a little confused. If it was an enemy, why would they send a sedan chair over in such a high-profile manner?
Jiuxi said somewhat miserably, "That's just his trick. If I'm caught, I'll definitely be beaten..."
"Then I'll do as you say." Tang Wan agreed readily, her bright eyes filled with tears. Jiu Xi didn't say a word and carried Tang Wan on her shoulders. Her thin arms and legs were not at all unsteady as she carried her. She walked briskly to the inner room and carefully cast a barrier around the Imperial Master's Mansion. Seeing her cautious attitude, Tang Wan was a little flustered and said, "Jiu Xi... what... did you steal?"
Now, time is pressing, and naturally it is not the best time to explain to Tang Wan. Jiu Xi picked out some simple words and said, "The matter of the snake demon has been resolved. As for Feng Linyuan, he will be crowned as the great emperor tomorrow, but I cannot save your father."
Tang Wan's eyes were filled with sadness, and her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "I only hope that my father can be reincarnated..."
The barrier she had set up was specifically designed to target demons and evil spirits. Ye Chen's demonic power was low, so naturally he couldn't break the barrier. However, after standing outside the mansion for so long without any movement, Ye Chen walked to the door impatiently, stretched out his hand and knocked on it, saying, "Manager! Where's your master?"
However, there was no movement from inside the door, and Ye Chen was a little annoyed. But at this moment, the door was opened from the inside, and Jiuxi's stunning face was revealed. She was wearing a plain white robe with a fiery red cloak on the outside, which also burned Ye Chen's eyes. Ye Chen said respectfully, "My lord, the king has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Oh." Jiuxi responded coldly.
Ever since Jiuxi came out of the Imperial City, Mingye had issued a death order for Yechen to come to the Imperial Master's Mansion and wait for the opportunity. At this moment, Jiuxi, who was standing opposite Yechen, was surrounded by a surge of immortal energy. The spiritual energy on his body alone was enough to make people feel relaxed and happy. Yechen took two deep breaths, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Sir, please get in the sedan chair."
Jiuxi followed Ye Chen into the sedan chair. Ye Chen was still a little hesitant as he looked at the tightly closed door, but the ethereal aura on Jiuxi's body could not be faked, so Ye Chen could only wave his hand to signal the sedan bearers to leave.
The sedan chair swayed as it left the Imperial Master's Mansion.
