In the depths of the valley and woods in the endless sea of clouds, five more stone tablets suddenly appeared.
On the stone tablets, different Daqian characters were engraved by Lin Zhiyun. Although Zhong Wen didn't recognize them, he could tell that Lin Zhiyun's handwriting was elegant and graceful.
He knew that what was engraved on the stone tablet was the suffering of "Star Sea Walker", "Qin Sheng" Feng Wuya, "Sword God" Dugu Xingchen, "Cang Qiong Guest" Li Daoyin and "Bailing Palace Master" Lin Xingyue. name.
After burying the bones of the five people and erecting the stone tablets, Zhong Wen realized that the handwriting was ugly, so he commissioned Lin Zhiyun to inscribe the tombstones of the five people.
Lin Zhiyun also benefited greatly from Lin Xingyue, so naturally she would not refuse this small request.
"Thank you to the five seniors for their teachings. Zhong Wen will definitely carry forward this magical skill and will never disgrace the reputation of his seniors."
Zhong Wen knelt in front of the stone tablet, kowtowed three times respectfully, and secretly swore in his heart.
Not far away, Lin Zhiyun was kneeling in front of Lin Xingyue's stone tablet, her expression respectful and revealing a hint of intimacy.
Although the two people are separated by tens of thousands of years, the identity of the leader of the same faction and the same surname have inadvertently brought them closer.
After receiving the inheritance of Lin Xingyue's great ways and spiritual skills, Lin Zhiyun regarded her as half a master, and when she was about to leave the valley, she actually felt a hint of reluctance in her heart.
"Let's go!"
After a long time, Zhong Wen stood up and turned to greet Lin Zhiyun.
"Um."
Lin Zhiyun also stood up, and her eyes glanced at the tombstone of "Lord of Bailing Palace" Lin Xingyue for the last time, as if she wanted to firmly imprint the image of the stone tablet in her mind.
"If you miss Senior Lin in the future, just come back and pay homage."
The two of them had been alone in this valley for so many days, and their tacit understanding had improved a lot. Zhong Wen just glanced at Lin Zhiyun's expression, guessed what she was thinking, and comforted her softly.
"That's right." Lin Zhiyun nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Now I have more important things to do."
The two walked side by side, and soon they came to the edge of the valley, where endless clouds and mist appeared in front of Zhong Wen's eyes again.
"Is this the 'Phantom Spirit Mist' you are talking about?" Lin Zhiyun looked at the hazy scene in front of her, slightly surprised.
"Yes, this kind of cloud and mist is very weird and can make people hallucinate. It is said that only saints can pass through it safely." Zhong Wen nodded and said, "If my 'Purple Qi Donglai' hadn't been able to isolate the cloud and mist outside the body, I'm afraid that Before we reached the valley, we had already gone to see the King of Hell."
"Then how should I get out?" Lin Zhiyun suddenly thought of a question.
"As long as there is physical contact, my 'Purple Qi Donglai' can affect my sister." Zhong Wen turned his face sideways and showed a weird smile from an angle that Lin Zhiyun couldn't see, "Why don't you let me carry you out? "
"Is it okay as long as there is contact?" Lin Zhiyun immediately saw through his conspiracy, "Can't you just pull the corner of your clothes?"
"It requires physical contact to be effective." Zhong Wen did not give up, but settled for the next best thing, "You have to hold hands no matter what."
"This..." When she heard that she was going to hold hands with Zhong Wen, a trace of hesitation flashed in Lin Zhiyun's eyes.
"Sister Palace Master, Qiqi is still waiting for us to rescue her." Zhong Wen's voice was like a demon who abducts souls, full of temptation, "I know that my sister doesn't want to be too close to men, but this short moment
Please be patient with the journey no matter what."
"...Okay." Lin Zhiyun was shocked when she heard Zhong Wen mention Liu Qiqi, and finally gave in.
"Palace Master, sister Yingming." Zhong Wen chuckled, suddenly stretched out his right hand, took Lin Zhiyun's slender and tender left hand, and strode forward in the direction of the phantom mist, "Follow me!"
Lin Zhiyun's slender hands were tender and smooth. Zhong Wen enjoyed the beautiful touch from her palms, feeling secretly happy and almost starting to hum.
Since she was twelve years old, Lin Zhiyun has never had skin-to-skin contact with an adult man. At this moment, Zhong Wen's big hand held her, and she felt a warm breath coming from his palm and spreading through his arms.
His whole body couldn't help but his pretty face felt hot, his cheeks felt dizzy, and his body stiffened unconsciously. He finally suppressed the thought of shaking off Zhong Wen's hand, just like a puppet, just letting him lead him.
While walking, there is no time left to pay attention to the direction.
The moment he stepped into the phantom mist, streaks of purple smoke dispersed from Zhong Wen's body, instantly covering his entire body.
Part of the purple smoke jumped up Lin Zhiyun's left arm along his right palm, and gradually spread towards the whole body.
Looking at the purple smoke lingering on her body, Lin Zhiyun no longer doubted Zhong Wen's words. Her mood slowly calmed down, and her stiff body gradually regained its flexibility.
Like a couple in love, the two held hands and ran through the mist.
No matter how much she rejected the idea of holding hands with Zhong Wen, after walking like this for several hours, Lin Zhiyun finally gradually became numb and could no longer feel any resistance. The two of them chatted from time to time without even realizing it.
Until I was still holding hands.
"Isn't it here yet?"
After a long time, Lin Zhiyun finally couldn't help but ask.
She never expected that after walking in this same fog for at least five or six hours, the "short journey" that Zhong Wen said had not yet reached the end.
"Soon, soon." Zhong Wen tightened his right hand and vowed.
Lin Zhiyun noticed the small movements on his hands and couldn't help but feel a strange emotion. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what the problem was.
…
"Isn't it here yet?"
Three more hours later, Lin Zhiyun asked again, feeling vaguely like she had been deceived.
"We'll be there soon." Zhong Wen firmly held Lin Zhiyun's little hand and replied firmly.
…
"How much longer?"
After more than two hours, Lin Zhiyun gradually lost her patience, and there was a hint of reproach in her voice.
"This time it is really coming, it will definitely not take more than an hour." Zhong Wen patted his chest with his left hand to confirm.
…
"Zhong Wen, do you know the way out?"
Three hours later, Lin Zhiyun couldn't bear it anymore and began to question Zhong Wen's navigation ability. She tried to pull back her left hand, but she felt that Zhong Wen's right paw was extremely firm and hesitated for a moment.
In the end, she gave up her resistance and continued to be led by him.
Just when Zhong Wen was about to open his mouth to explain, the light suddenly brightened in front of the two of them, and the style of the painting changed suddenly, and it no longer looked like clouds and mist.
"We're here." Zhong Wen stretched out his left hand and pointed at the bungalows on the mountain in the distance, and turned to look at her with a smile.
Lin Zhiyun followed his line of sight and instantly recognized that these bungalows with courtyards were exactly the architectural style of Tianjian Villa.
"Let's go and take Qiqi home!"
Zhong Wen said something powerful, and then took a long step, and was about to head towards Tianjian Villa, when he suddenly heard Lin Zhiyun's soft and angry voice coming from behind him: "How long do you plan to hold on to it?"
"I'm sorry, I'm used to it and I can't change it for a while." Seeing that he was exposed, Zhong Wen smiled sheepishly and reluctantly let go of his right hand.
I don’t know if I will have the chance to hold the palace lord’s sister’s hand in the future.
Zhong Wen thought with regret and planned not to wash his right hand for a while.
The moment Zhong Wen let go, Lin Zhiyun suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if she was slightly reluctant to let go.
"Let's go and take Qiqi home!"
She shook her head, threw away the messy thoughts, said something lightly, then touched the ground with her lotus feet, and instantly jumped into the air, heading straight to the east.
Zhong Wen kicked off his legs and flew into the air, following closely behind her, flying towards the direction of Tianjian Villa.
In the imperial capital headquarters of Shengyu Trading Company, Shangguan Tong looked at the prince Li Yan in front of him with some surprise.
The floor of the room was filled with gifts brought by Li Yan. Through the opened lid of the box, Shangguan Tong easily recognized many of the items that Li Yan had plundered from the Imperial Capital Headquarters of the "Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce".
"I came here this time to propose marriage to the head of the Shangguan family." Li Yan smiled broadly and spoke in a gentle tone, "Ever since I first saw Miss Mingyue, her voice and smile have lingered in my heart and I can't get rid of it.
I know that Miss Mingyue is the one I love in my heart, and I hope that the master of the Shangguan family will fulfill her wish."
"It is naturally Yue'er's blessing to be favored by His Highness." Shangguan Tong carefully considered his words, "It's just that Tong had an agreement with this girl. Her marriage is entirely up to her. As a father, I am not allowed to interfere.
If Your Highness really wants to marry Yue'er, she must agree to it."
"That's unreasonable." Li Yan shook his head and didn't believe it. "A woman must obey her parents' orders when it comes to marriage. The head of the Shangguan family is being too modest."
"His Royal Highness, you don't know. Yue'er lost her mother when she was young and lacks maternal love. As a father, I am busy with business affairs and rarely have time to accompany her. I have completely failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father." Shangguan Tong explained patiently.
He said, "She was able to grow up so well only because of her own efforts. Tong didn't think he was qualified to control her life, so he made an agreement with her that she would make the decision on her own marriage, no matter what kind of person she finds in the future.
My husband-in-law will never say a word."
"This..." Li Yan had never encountered such a situation before, and he didn't know how to respond.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come all the way, so I can't let you go in vain." Shangguan Tong didn't wait for Li Yan to speak, and then said, "I will have Yue'er come here and ask her what she thinks. As long as she
If you don’t object, I wish you both a happy marriage and a happy marriage that lasts for hundreds of years.”
As he spoke, he whispered a few instructions to the person behind him, and the servant quickly withdrew.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" After a while, Li Yan felt a gust of fragrant wind coming.
Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Mingyue's slim figure appeared in the house, her clear and melodious voice was like an oriole coming out of the valley, a kingfisher flicking water, her skin like gelatin was set off by a red dress and a red dress, which made her look like snow and ice, and her beauty was stunning.
Seeing the beautiful face made Li Yan feel hot in his heart.
"Yue'er, come and meet His Highness the Crown Prince." The moment he saw his precious daughter, Shangguan Tong showed a gentle smile on his face.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Upon seeing Li Yan, Shangguan Mingyue's eyes flashed with disdain.
During the battle in the Imperial Capital, Li Yan's ugly appearance made her very angry and disgusted. Although she was polite on the outside, she looked down upon the Crown Prince in her heart.
"Miss Mingyue." Li Yan instantly put on an affectionate posture.
"Yue'er, His Highness the Crown Prince is here to propose marriage to his father and hopes to accept you as his concubine." Shangguan Tong spoke without any foreshadowing and went straight to the point, "I wonder what you think?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, feeling that Shangguan Tong's statement was too casual and he didn't seem to be careless.
"Don't His Highness already have a Crown Princess?"
Shangguan Mingyue was such a smart person that she reacted instantly to the sudden news.
Such a seemingly unintentional, but actually intentional, question instantly put Li Yan into an extremely embarrassing situation.
