Wu Feng froze on the spot with a bloodless face, his eyes blank.
"daughter……"
All the memories of growing up with Ning Tian emerged from her mind involuntarily. But after hearing Ning Tian's words, the scenes in the past that deeply touched her were instantly shattered.
The faith and hope that supported Wu Feng were shattered, and she felt a despair she had never experienced before.
Seeing Wu Feng's devastated look, Ning Tian couldn't bear it, but she knew that she had to let Wu Feng recognize the reality and completely cut off those thoughts. At the same time, she also had to consider Yu Tianhuang's feelings.
Ning Tian crossed Wu Feng and smiled helplessly at Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi.
"Tianhuang, Sister Gu Yi, let's go back."
Xu Zihuang nodded calmly. Although he knew Wu Feng's thoughts, Wu Feng and Ning Tian were of the same sex after all, so he couldn't say he was too disgusted with it. So he usually ignored Wu Feng.
As for Ye Guyi, she rarely interfered in such matters. When she passed by Wu Feng, there was still a playful smile on her lips.
Outside the gate of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, only Wu Feng, who had been unable to recover and was feeling dejected, and the guards of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect were left.
The cold wind blew by, rolling up the withered and yellow leaves on the ground, just like Wu Feng's state of mind at this time.
Returning to the Jiubao Glazed Sect, Xu Zihuang and Ning Xingxu greeted each other before returning to the room on the top floor of the central castle.
Ning Tianzheng hugged Ning Qing and placed her on the soft big bed. Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi were sitting on the sofa in the room, talking softly.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Zihuang told Ye Guyi that he was determined to cultivate the second soul core of yin and yang complementation.
Ye Guyi frowned slightly. Only after personally trying to condense the second soul core did she know how difficult it was to complete this step. However, she had known Xu Zihuang had such an idea for a long time, so she did not show too much excitement.
.
And there is also the One Hundred Thousand Years of Lovesickness that Wang Qiuer picked. Even if Xu Zihuang failed to condense the second soul core, he was still able to save himself and recover his energy in a very short period of time.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Guyi said without hesitation: "I will practice in seclusion with you this time to break through the bottleneck of Titled Douluo."
Facing Ye Guyi's solemn and determined eyes, Xu Zihuang shook his head.
"Don't worry, with my physical strength and mental strength, I am at least 90% sure of successfully condensing a second soul core that is complementary to yin and yang. When I complete this, I will be able to help you build one too through the insights gained from it.
Yin and yang complement each other’s soul core.”
Although Ye Guyi's background is profound enough, it is still difficult to successfully construct the Yin-Yang complementary soul core. In terms of talent, she is not inferior to Xu Zihuang after all.
What Xu Zihuang said is the safest method.
Ye Guyi naturally understood this, and stared at Xu Zihuang in silence for a moment, and finally nodded in compromise.
"Then where are you going to retreat and practice?"
"In the next few days, I will leave the mainland and start seclusion. Before I leave seclusion, you can guard Ning Tian and Ning Qing on my behalf." Xu Zihuang responded with deep eyes.
"If nothing happens, I will break through to the realm of Titled Douluo within half a year."
Ye Guyi glanced at Xu Zihuang inexplicably. This was a tacit understanding unique to them.
At this moment, Ning Tian, who had settled Ning Qing, walked over. Although the room was spacious, she was a soul saint after all. She almost heard the conversation between Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi from beginning to end.
Ning Tian opened her red lips and stopped talking.
"Okay, you guys should rest early." Ye Guyi stood up with a smile, knowingly leaving this space to Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian.
Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand, let him sit on his lap, and asked softly.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Tian quietly nestled in Xu Zihuang's arms, feeling the warmth and familiar breath, and spoke in a sad tone.
"Tianhuang, I know I shouldn't be an obstacle to you. But out of selfishness, I hope you can always stay with Ning Qing, and we can watch her grow up together."
Xu Zihuang lowered his head apologetically and moved closer to Ning Tian's face.
"It's because I'm not competent enough. In fact, I still have many things I'm hiding from you."
"I know. But you have done a good job." Ning Tian took the initiative to touch Xu Zihuang's lips and smiled softly.
"You are my man and Ning Qing's father. This is something that will never change. No matter what you are going to do, Ning Qing and I will wait for your return in the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. Also, don't do it then.
Forget about telling the truth about the things you hid from me."
Having said this, Ning Tian pretended to be coquettish and snorted.
But Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian had completely different thoughts.
"Of course." Xu Zihuang closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down the surging emotions in his heart. And when he opened his eyes again, Ning Tian's beautiful face became more and more attractive.
With just one look, Xu Zihuang understood Ning Tian's thoughts.
The night gradually deepened. Ning Qing, who was sleeping soundly, was disturbed in her sleep.
…
Three days later in the early morning, Xu Zihuang left the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
Ning Tian stood on the balcony of the top room of the central castle of Jiubao Glazed Sect with Ning Qing in her arms, her eyes dim. Although she was free and easy about Yu Tianhuang's departure, how could she not feel reluctant to leave in her heart.
Ye Guyi hugged Ning Tian into his arms and comforted her softly.
But Ning Qing still slept soundly, unaware of Xu Zihuang's departure.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang did not rush to Shrek Academy as planned, but went to the Sun and Moon Empire Palace first.
Mingdu, where the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire is located, is located in the west of the entire continent, with a time difference of more than an hour from Tiandou City.
When Xu Zihuang used the innate ability of the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit to rush to the Sun and Moon Empire Palace, it was still early morning here.
Deep in the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, Orange is meditating and practicing in his bedroom.
Although her cultivation was limited by her talent, she never slacked off in her practice. An infant boy lay quietly sleeping in a luxurious and comfortable cradle beside her bed.
Xu Zihuang's figure appeared from the air like ripples of water. Even in the dark environment, he could clearly see the black hair and fair and tender skin of this little baby boy.
A baby that is only a few months old has no facial features yet, so there is nothing visible about it.
Orange suddenly opened her eyes as if feeling something, and the moment she saw Xu Zihuang's face clearly, the vigilance in her eyes dissipated, replaced by lingering tenderness.
"Zihuang..."
Xu Zihuang came to the bedside and said solemnly: "Orange, I'm here to say goodbye to you this time. My soul power cultivation has reached the peak of level 89, and I will practice in seclusion to break through the bottleneck of Titled Douluo.
After I break through the Title Douluo, I will begin to take revenge on Xu Tianran and take back everything I should have."
Orange, who was wearing close-fitting pajamas, stood up, leaned into Xu Zihuang's arms, and said softly.
"Zihuang, how long will it take for you to practice in seclusion this time? With his character, he should start another war within the next one or two years."
"That's enough. I will be out of seclusion in at most half a year." Xu Zihuang smiled coldly.
"How has he treated Xi Yan during this period?"
Xiyan is the son between Xu Zihuang and Orange, his full name is Xu Xiyan.
Zixi refers to the purple morning light, which represents the rising and radiating soft light, implying the talent and superior conditions given by God and gradually showing its prominence. Huangyan means dazzling, gorgeous and brilliant.
Purple Xihuangyan, this is the origin of Xu Xiyan’s name.
There was a hint of mockery in Orange's beautiful eyes.
"He is still as resentful as ever about losing his ability in that area. I know him, and he must sincerely believe that Xi Yan's existence is the greatest ridicule to him, and he will never come here. We are concerned about
For him, they are just tools to achieve his goals. When Xi Yan gets older, he should let me rush to the front line and continue to lead the Sun Moon Empire's army to invade the original Douluo Continent."
Hearing what Orange said, Xu Zihuang relaxed his frown and reminded Orange.
"If he asks you to fight on the front line before I come out of seclusion, you must be on guard against the Star Luo Empire. Shrek Academy once delivered to them a level nine custom-installed soul cannon. Although the original
Douluo Continent is unable to produce a barrel capable of firing a level nine fixed soul cannon, but if they detonate it at close range at all costs, they may still pose a threat to you."
Having said this, the expression on Xu Zihuang's face became a little helpless.
"I brought back the drawings for the ninth-level custom-made soul guide cannon from Shrek Academy from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, but I didn't expect that they would actually develop it. But in such a short period of time,
At most, they should be able to produce a second level nine custom-installed soul cannon."
"Two level nine fixed-installation soul cannons." Orange murmured softly, thoughtfully, and then nodded sternly: "Well, I will be more careful."
With the advanced detection soul guidance devices of the Sun and Moon Empire, there will be no chance for the Star Luo Empire to approach with the ninth-level fixed soul cannon. Without a barrel that can be used to fire, the threat of the ninth-level fixed soul cannon
In fact it is extremely limited.
After having a serious conversation, the two of them were silent for a long time, and both of them looked at Xu Xiyan lying in the cradle.
Orange's delicate body trembled slightly, and she softly begged Xu Zihuang: "Zihuang, please stay with Xiyan again."
"Okay." Xu Zihuang sighed softly, and he and Orange crouched down, each holding Xu Xiyan's chubby little hand.
This warm scene seems to be frozen here. Xu Zihuang's expression is gentle, while Orange's pretty face is filled with a happy smile.
Soon, they will be together forever as they are now.
This is the thing that makes Orange look forward to the most.
It wasn't until the first ray of sunshine in the morning broke through the eastern horizon that Xu Zihuang had to leave the Sun and Moon Empire Palace with Orange's reluctant eyes.
When he arrived at Shrek Academy, he returned to his previous appearance, with dark eyes that could not tell what was in his heart.
Xu Zihuang landed in the open space in front of the Poseidon Pavilion, and happened to see a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament walking out of the Poseidon Pavilion.
The woman looked to be only twenty-five or six years old. She was wearing a light blue dress that made her figure more slender, but there was a faint trace of sadness lingering between her eyebrows.
"Sister." Xu Zihuang restrained his emotions and greeted the visitor with a gentle smile.
The woman is Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard. The passage of time has not left the slightest trace on her face, which is still the same as when we first met her.
Xu Zihuang felt a little emotional in his heart. He had known this senior sister of the inner court for nearly ten years.
Seeing Xu Zihuang, Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a touching smile that touched people's hearts.
"Tianhuang, long time no see."
Although Xu Zihuang has not returned to Shrek Academy for a while, he has often heard about Zhang Lexuan from Ye Guyi and Ning Tian.
This senior sister of the Inner Academy broke through to the realm of Titled Douluo a year ago, and her status in the academy is getting higher and higher. When Yan Shaozhe abdicates, she will be the next dean of the Martial Arts Department of the Outer Academy of Shrek Academy.
However, there is also one thing that is bothering Zhang Lexuan, and that is the issue of his life experience.
When Xu Tianran was assassinated in the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, anyone with a discerning eye could see the connection between Zhang Lexuan and Kong Deming's martial soul. At that time, Zhang Lexuan even felt the echo and connection between her own martial soul and Kong Deming's martial soul.
In the past few years, Zhang Lexuan has gone to the city where she was born in the Tianhun Empire more than once to investigate the news. Combined with the secrets recorded in the Poseidon Pavilion library of Shrek Academy, she is basically certain that her mother and Sun and Moon
There are inextricably linked relationships between the royal families of the empire.
Her father's family was just a small noble in the Tianhun Empire, and her powerful Silver Moon Martial Spirit was inherited from her mother.
Zhang Lexuan believed that she was a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire since she was a child, and thanks to the kindness of Elder Mu, she considered Shrek Academy her home. But now she discovered that she was most likely to have the blood of the Sun and Moon Empire's royal family. This long-standing concept and recognition
Zhi was completely subverted and she began to doubt herself.
"I remember Mr. Mu once said to me. When you feel confused, don't be too entangled, just follow your own heart." Xu Zihuang smiled slightly and walked past Zhang Lexuan.
"Sister, I'm going to see Mr. Xuan first."
Zhang Lexuan looked slightly startled when she heard this, and turned back to look at Xu Zihuang's tall and straight figure.
In the conference hall on the first floor of Poseidon Pavilion, Mr. Xuan was sitting in the main seat. He had no soul power or mental fluctuations and looked like an ordinary old man.
But when he saw Xu Zihuang, his eyes suddenly widened with shock.
"Tianhuang, you have reached the bottleneck of level 90?!"
"Yes, Mr. Xuan." Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.
"I am returning to the academy this time to say goodbye to you. I plan to reach the Title Douluo realm in the near future and condense the second soul core."
