Tianfeng Kingdom, the queen's palace.

The glazed tiles of Yunqi Courtyard glow golden in the autumn sunshine. The leaves in the courtyard have gradually withered and turned yellow. Only some leaves that are unwilling to go back are still hanging on the branches.

The cicada is performing its last swan song, as if bidding farewell to the world.

In the living room, Empress Changsun was half-closing her eyes and listening to what Xiaoyun beside her was saying. There were two maids waiting in front of her, and a pot of tea was boiling on the table, steaming out the smoke.

Before the two of them could finish their conversation, a palace maid led them in.

One of them looked dignified, with phoenix eyes and red lips, wearing a white dress, and even wore a white silk scarf embroidered with gold on his hair.

The girl following behind was wearing a light yellow silk skirt, and her black hair was simply tied with a yellow silk scarf.

The two of them were like fairies outside the world, and there was no trace of fireworks behind them.

"Queen, why is it you? It's such a rare visitor, please sit down quickly." Queen Changsun opened her eyes, looked at the two people who walked in and said with a smile.

"I just told Xiaoyun about you, but I didn't expect this person to be so careless! What gust of wind brought you here."

Xiaoyun looked at the two people who walked in, stood up and saluted, and then poured tea for them.

The woman in white smiled softly and said, "I have nothing to do. Why don't I come out for a walk?"

"Who is this girl?" Empress Changsun looked at the woman in white and asked softly: "How come I haven't seen her before?"

The woman in white pulled the girl in yellow dress to sit next to her and introduced her: "This is the eldest grandson Queen of Tianfeng Kingdom. Maybe your sister Yu'er will marry his son in the future."

When the little girl heard this, she covered her mouth.

The woman in white looked at Queen Changsun and smiled and said: "This is the daughter I gave birth to when I was in the Five Domains. Her name is Nangong Ruyu. She is fifteen years old this year!"

Empress Changsun was stunned and looked at her blankly and asked: "By the way, when did I go to the Five Realms? And I secretly gave birth to such a well-behaved daughter. It's incredible."

Bai Yi looked at her and smiled and said: "It's a long story, I'll tell you another time. Why did you think of coming to this small yard? It will make it easier for me to find you."

Empress Changsun laughed and said: "My words are longer now. Didn't you see the two words outside the courtyard?"

Nangong Ruyu was startled and said softly: "Yunqi?"

Queen Changsun looked at the two of them and sighed, and said quietly: "These two words have a great origin. It is said that the Silver Moon Kingdom sent people to trouble us that year... It was that little guy who solved it for me.

Trouble."

Hearing this, Nangong Ruyu jumped up and asked: "Is that the young man who looks like my master? Where is he now? Did he write these two words?"

Queen Changsun looked at her and smiled and said, "How do I know who your master is? This guy's name is Li Xiuyuan. He comes from Shangdao Temple in Luoxia Mountain. Now, he is practicing in Tianfeng Academy."

The woman in white looked at Empress Changsun and frowned, and asked softly: "Did I hear that guy was only nine years old when he came to your place? How can a nine-year-old help you?"

Queen Changsun looked at the disbelief of the two people and couldn't help but sigh: "Although he was only nine years old at the time, he solved the troubles that we and Tianfeng Kingdom couldn't solve. He won two games against Silver Moon Kingdom and let us hide.

It’s been a long time.”

Looking at the mother and daughter, Xiaoyun stayed like a puppet and said nothing.

"Walking to a water-poor place, sit down and watch the rising time!"

Queen Changsun's chest kept rising and falling, and she said in a solemn voice: "These two words he wrote are what they mean, and these two lines of poetry are talking about the situation in the Tianfeng Kingdom at that time!"

"The King of Qin specially rewarded him with one thousand gold coins for these two words... but he asked me to withhold five hundred. He later gave fifty to Xiaoyun. Now that I think about it,

There shouldn’t be any deductions...what should I say?”

"When you walk to a water-poor place, sit down and watch when you get up!" Nangong Ruyu couldn't help but read softly.

"Li Xiuyuan? This courtyard is where that little guy lived?"

The woman in white looked at Empress Changsun and said softly.

"It's Li Xiuyuan. The only thing I did wrong was that I shouldn't have let him go with me to get married. As a result, something happened on the way..."

Empress Changsun sighed, handed the scripture in her hand to the woman in white, and said softly: "This is the Buddhist scripture he copied after reciting it during the competition with the Silver Moon Kingdom."

Xiaoyun looked at Empress Changsun resentfully and said, "I'm afraid that guy will never forgive us."

"Let it go, you can't force this matter." Empress Changsun said softly.

"Good words! What a scripture!" The woman in white exclaimed, looking at Changsun and Xiaoyun's puzzled expressions, and then said: "There is a hint of sword meaning in these words, can't you see it?"

Xiaoyun was startled and quickly took out the scripture that Li Xiuyuan gave to her, opened it and looked at it, but she had a look of disappointment on her face.

The woman in white took the scripture from Xiaoyun's hand, turned over two pages, and couldn't help but sigh: "This guy's handwriting is getting better and better, why is there a hint of sword intent in it?

"

Empress Changsun was startled. She took the scripture from the woman in white and started to read it. However, even after reading it for a long time, she could not see the mystery in it.

"What kind of sword intent is this? Why can you see it but I can't?" Queen Changsun asked blankly as she looked at the woman in white.

The woman in white handed the scripture in her hand to Nangong Ruyu and asked, "Look, can you see it?"

"There is nothing mysterious about sword intention. If you can see it, you can see it. If you can't see it, you have to practice again and think about why you can't see it."

The woman in white looked at Xiaoyun and said with a smile: "That guy is very nice to you. He actually copied a volume and gave it to you."

Xiaoyun took the scripture from the hand of the woman in white, looked at the two of them, and said quietly: "He said that by giving me this scroll, it would be regarded as settling the past debts with me, and we would not owe each other anything."

Having said this, Xiaoyun couldn't help but shed tears. She took out her silk scarf and wiped it gently.

"Why is that guy so heartless?!" Empress Changsun was shocked by the words of the woman in white, and she yelled unwillingly.

"Mother, the sword intention in this scripture is very similar to the master's sword intention." Nangong Ruyu returned the scripture to Empress Changsun and looked at the woman in white and said.

Empress Changsun smiled bitterly. She did not expect that even the daughter of the woman in white could see the sword intention in this scroll and could also tell some secrets.

The woman in white looked at her and said softly: "I've even thought of snatching this Buddhist scripture from you."

Empress Changsun glared at her and said with a smile: "That guy wants Fengyun Academy now. You can go to him to rob it. If you are able, he will rob it from you. Don't you have many female disciples?"

"You? You dare to say anything. Don't you know that the dean and the master are not easy to mess with? It is said that that boy is the master's disciple!"

The woman in white looked at him and giggled.

Empress Changsun smiled sheepishly: "It's just because the master is here, even I can't do anything to him, so I asked Xiaoyun to make a special trip to see him."

"Oh?" The woman in white asked in surprise: "Then what?"

Empress Changsun didn't say anything, she just handed the note in her hand to the woman in white and said softly: "In exchange for such a sentence!"

The woman in white was startled. She lowered her head to look at the note in her hand and saw:

"Before the Tathagata Buddha, it is as if the Buddha came! We all owe each other nothing!"

The woman in white read it twice, looked at her eldest grandson and asked, "What does this sentence mean? Buddha's visit is not like Buddha's inquiry, and poetry is not like poetry?"

Queen Changsun looked at him, frowned and replied: "Don't we have a third competition with Silver Moon Kingdom? Because of the Shura battlefield, they advanced the competition and wrote a couplet for us."

Upon hearing this, the woman in white couldn't help but ask: "The masters of Tianfeng Kingdom have countless students, can't they all be worthy of it?"

She was smart and seemed to have guessed something.

"Not to mention the Tianfeng Kingdom." Queen Changsun continued: "Even the more than a thousand students and elders of the entire Tianfeng Academy, sir, can't stand up to you!"

"For this reason, I specially offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins, but no one can come up to the huge academy!"

"Excuse me, Queen, what is this couplet?"

Nangong Ruyu looked at her and asked softly. Li Ye taught her a lot of poetry back then, and she also wanted to try her literary talent.

"View the landscape on Guanyin Mountain! There is a Guanyin Mountain in the Thousand Buddha Temple of Silver Moon Kingdom."

Xiaoyun spoke first without waiting for Queen Changsun to answer.

The expression of the woman in white was unmoved, but her mood was very complicated. She never expected that a little guy of about ten years old would solve the first couplet that Tianfeng Kingdom Road Academy could not solve.

After being stunned for a while, Nangong Ruyu said with a wry smile: "This is too difficult. This is not a couplet that anyone can match. They are clearly trying to make things difficult for you."

Empress Changsun had no reaction. She looked at her and replied calmly: "Not only did he meet her, he also didn't get a single gold coin. Xiaoyun didn't even see anyone the next day."

"This kid is hiding, why is he afraid to see people?" The woman in white was stunned for a moment, thinking, how can there be any reason to leave 10,000 gold coins?

"Didn't you see what he wrote: We are all in this relationship and we owe nothing to each other! He is going to cut off contact with us and go to the mountains with the Master early the next morning to practice spiritual practice."

Thinking that Li Xiuyuan would no longer be associated with the Tianfeng Kingdom, the woman in white couldn't help but sigh again.

"This guy, it seems that you really have no chance. Or is it that someone in your Tianfeng Kingdom has hurt him?"

The woman in white obviously didn't believe Empress Changsun's words.

Queen Changsun thought for a long time before telling the story about Qin Qianshan and Li Xiuyuan.

After saying that, he changed the topic back: "Regardless of who is right or wrong between him and Shan'er, the academy has also issued a final announcement. If the Tianfeng Kingdom retaliates against Li Xiuyuan, the academy will no longer admit students from the Tianfeng Kingdom.

.”

In her opinion, this meant that the academy had made a decision and was clearly on Li Xiuyuan's side.

There was silence in the living room for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

It wasn't until a long time later that the woman in white asked, "Is there no way to save it?"

Xiaoyun shook her head, looked at her and said: "It is said that someone bribed bandits to kill Li Xiuyuan a few days ago, and the bandits said that they were ordered by the second prince..."

Empress Changsun sighed and said: "Do you think I should continue to investigate? If it is found that it is the emperor's body, how can I give an explanation to the academy?"

Looking at the woman in white, he said angrily: "Even if he ordered someone to do it, how should I deal with it?"

The woman in white felt her heart tremble, looked at her and replied softly: "If Tianfeng Kingdom wants to maintain relations with the academy, I'm afraid it has to explain to them."

Nangong Ruyu clenched her fists tightly when she heard this. She and Li Ye had killed bandits in Qingzhou back then.

Looking at her mother, she couldn't help but say: "When Yu'er was five years old, my master took me to Qingzhou to kill hundreds of bandits!"

Empress Changsun was surprised. After talking for so long, she still hadn't asked who Nangong Ruyu's master was.

Seeing the angry look on the little girl's face, Empress Changsun couldn't help but asked softly: "Xiao Yu'er, who did your master say to you?"
