Hearing Ji Tianxing's words, Yun Yao frowned immediately, with a flash of worry in her eyes.
"Tian Xing, you just entered the Emperor's Mansion today and Murong Lingfeng has already looked for you?
Murong Lingfeng is so impatient, it seems he has a plan!"
Ji Tianxing showed a playful smile and explained: "Today I went to meet Master Black Feather and was assigned to Master Kaiyun's disciple.
Coincidentally, Murong Lingfeng was also a disciple of Divine Master Kaiyun.
When he met me for the first time, he clearly showed his affection and closeness to me.
I felt strange at that time, this person was a stranger to me, why did he show kindness to me for no reason?
Now that I think about it, this person probably wants to take advantage of me, right?"
After that, he stared at Yunyao and said in a solemn tone: "Yaoyao, don't worry, I have no intention of making friends with those aristocratic families and forces.
Murong Lingfeng showed his kindness to me, but I have already rejected him.
Since the Murong family and the Duanmu family have other agendas, it is even more impossible for me to associate with them.
Moreover, I will be careful to guard against them and will not give them any opportunity to take advantage of me."
Yun Yao nodded and said, "Well, it's good that you understand Tian Xing.
Although this imperial palace is a holy land of martial arts, it is not a place of peace and quiet. The relationships and situations in the palace are also very complicated.
There are more than fifty emperor's sons in the mansion, from the major forces of the three major races, aristocratic families and the imperial court, all with different camps and purposes.
Although everyone seems calm on the surface, in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years..."
Yunyao briefly introduced the situation in the emperor's palace and reminded Ji Tianxing to be careful.
Ji Tianxing listened carefully. After she finished speaking, he stared at her gently and said calmly: "Yao Yao, actually, before this, I never thought about entering the emperor's palace, nor did I think about winning the throne.
Famous today.
All this stems from your mother's words! She told me that only if I enter the emperor's palace and become a distinguished son of the emperor can I be qualified to associate with you.
From that moment on, I made up my mind to worship the emperor no matter what.
I don’t care about the glory and fame of becoming the emperor’s son, nor the awe and worship of the world, I only care about you!”
Yun Yao was stared at by his gentle but firm eyes, her heart beat a little faster, and there was a touch of tenderness in her eyes.
She nodded, stared at Ji Tianxing, and said: "Tianxing, I understand your intentions, everything you have done is for me.
You are not a member of a noble family, so you could have ignored these conspiracies.
I don't want you to get involved in the grudges of the three great families, because I know that the road ahead will be full of ups and downs, open and covert attacks, and even bloodshed.
But...we have reached this point and there is no way back.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time, step by step, and take advantage of every opportunity."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said firmly: "That's right! The grievances between the three major families, the situation between the various clans, and the battles in the emperor's palace, these are all shocking events.
However, even if I am just a lonely boat, I must ride the wind and waves and move forward bravely!
Life is like a chess game, and I am willing to be a pawn! Although I move slowly, who will see me taking even half a step back?!"
When he uttered these heroic words, an invisible aura of strength emanated from his body, which was quite persistent and confident.
Yun Yao looked at him with burning eyes, stretched out her slender fingers to hold his hand, and said solemnly: "No, Tianxing, you are by no means a lonely boat!
I will always be by your side and go through thick and thin with you!"
The two looked at each other, staring at each other, and both saw the determination and persistence in the other's eyes.
After a long time, Yun Yao let go of Ji Tianxing's hand and whispered: "Tianxing, it's time for us to go back."
Ji Tianxing hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Yun Yao was about to get up and leave, he said, "Yao Yao, there is something I want to tell you."
Yunyao asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Ji Tianxing said in a low and authentic tone: "Actually, Long Yunxiao is not annoying, and he is not evil-hearted.
Although he looks cold and arrogant, I can tell that he is really good to you.
In order to make you happy, he actually made a lot of sacrifices secretly.
Maybe you can stop hating and being hostile to him so much, I think he is a friend you can make."
Yunyao was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, I know everything you said.
Long Yunxiao is not a playboy, nor is he a ruthless and sinister person. He is countless times better than the children of major aristocratic families.
Moreover, he inherited the imperial demeanor and magnanimity of the Emperor, and was deeply respected by the Emperor."
At this point, she paused and took a deep look at Ji Tianxing.
Then, she continued calmly: "Actually, I don't really hate him, I just don't have any feelings for him between men and women.
Since I was destined not to get together with him, I couldn't be nice to him or show any good feelings towards him.
I can't give him hope or fantasy, lest he misunderstand me, cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and delay each other's time.
Therefore, I have deliberately avoided him and treated him indifferently for so many years.
I just want him to give up completely and stop his thoughts so that he no longer has to persist in his obsession.
Maybe I'm doing this a little cruelly, but in my opinion, this is the best way.
It is the most cruel thing to continue to give others hopes and illusions and then extinguish those hopes with your own hands!"
After hearing what Yunyao said, Ji Tianxing understood her intention, nodded and said: "That's it.
I hope Long Yunxiao can let go of his obsession as soon as possible, which should also be a relief for him."
"Well, I hope so." Yun Yao nodded and waved goodbye to Ji Tianxing.
She took out the hosta from her bun, turned it into wings of wind and fire, flapped her wings and flew into the sky, leaving Yunxiu Lake.
Ji Tianxing watched her figure disappear into the sea of clouds, then turned around and flew back in the direction of Tianxing Palace.
Shortly after the two left Yunxiu Lake, a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the sea of clouds above the lake.
This person is a human youth of about thirty years old, with a handsome and resolute face, wearing a luxurious blue robe, exuding an aura of nobility and majesty.
He is the ninth-ranked emperor's son in the imperial palace, the legitimate son of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Yulong!
Duanmu Yulong frowned and stared at the direction Ji Tianxing left, with a sinister sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, Ji Tianxing really has an extraordinary relationship with Yunyao!
When he broke into the Emperor's Mansion for the first time, I could see that there was some collusion between him and Yunyao.
Fortunately, I kept an eye out and kept an eye on his whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, on the first day he entered the Imperial Palace, he would have a private date with Yun Yao by the Yunxiu Lake!
Humph, if there is no adultery between the two of them, why don't they visit the cave in an open and honest manner? Why do they also meet in secret? "
