When Yunyao learned that the wedding date had been set, a hint of shame suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her heart beat faster.
"Why is the scheduled date so close? Can you prepare it in two months?"
She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were a little red, and her voice was full of shame.
Ji Tianxing held her slender waist and said with a smile: "Uncle said that Yunling Palace has begun preparations, and two months is enough.
Moreover, I also want to marry you as soon as possible and fulfill my long-cherished wish."
"A long-cherished wish?" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, looked at him with complicated eyes, and asked: "We have known each other for less than two years, how can we call it a long-cherished wish?"
Ji Tianxing showed a playful smile and whispered in her ear: "From the first time I saw you, I have thought in my heart that one day I will marry you!"
Gentle whispers sounded in her ears, and the warm air blew on her crystal earlobes, which immediately turned her earlobes red and very cute.
Deep shame welled up in her heart, causing her to lower her head in shame, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Tian Xing, did you have this idea when you first saw me?"
"Of course." Ji Tianxing said firmly: "Although I was a toad at that time, and you were a noble swan...
But a toad that doesn't want to eat a swan is not a good toad."
After saying that, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Yun Yao's slender waist, hugging her tightly into his arms.
Yunyao became more and more shy and nestled in his arms, her heart filled with complicated thoughts.
Looking back on the past year or so, she was filled with emotion at all the experiences between the two.
After a long time, the two separated.
They left the reception hall and rushed to Yunyao's study, where they continued to discuss the matter of Yuejian City.
…
Two hours later, it was noon.
Ji Tianxing left the city lord's mansion alone and rushed to Cao's mansion in Dongcheng to check the situation in person.
The Cao family is one of the wealthy families in Yuejian City. It has been inherited for more than three hundred years, and its power cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, the Cao family has been booming in recent decades, with many talented people in the family, and the family business is also very prosperous.
It is a pity that when the Cao family was at its most glorious, this tragedy happened. All the members of the family of more than 80 were killed, which can be described as tragic.
This incident caused an uproar in the city and made countless people talk about it.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at Cao's Mansion, he saw that the huge mansion was surrounded by city guards guarding it.
No one dared to approach the mansion. Occasionally, some people passed by, but they tried to stay away from Cao's mansion and walked away quickly with fearful expressions.
In the magnificent mansion, there was a deathly silence, filled with a hint of eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
Even in broad daylight, it makes people feel uncomfortable and anxious.
Ji Tian walked to the gate of Cao Mansion and was stopped by four city guards.
"This place has been banned by the City Lord's Palace. No one can enter without the order of the City Lord's Palace."
"I am Ji Tianxing, the emperor's son, and I am here to investigate for clues." He took out his identity token and said in a majestic voice.
The expressions of the four city guards changed, and they immediately saluted respectfully and opened the door for him.
Ji Tianxing stepped through the gate and walked into Cao's mansion.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a spacious front yard. There are several sycamore trees planted in the yard, which are ten feet high and are at least a hundred years old.
The broad canopy almost covers the entire front yard, blocking the midday sun and making the yard somewhat shady.
Under a sycamore tree as thick as a water tank, there was a pile of white bones, as well as a waist knife and half a suit of armor on the ground.
Ji Tianxing glanced at it and could tell that it was the body of a middle-aged man, who should be a guard of the Cao Mansion.
There is an ancient well in the corner of the yard. The edge of the well is a circle of bluestone. The windlass at the wellhead is intact, and there is a well rope and a bucket hanging on it.
However, there were a pile of bones scattered around the edge of the well, as well as an embroidered sachet and a pair of embroidered shoes.
Ji Tianxing walked through the front yard with an expressionless face, looking around with calm eyes, he saw bones one after another.
Since the tragedy happened in Cao's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion has sent troops to blockade the place and not allow anyone else to enter.
The scene in the mansion still retains its original appearance.
When Ji Tianxing saw the bones, some pictures vaguely emerged in his mind, and he could roughly guess the scene when the incident occurred.
The main courtyard has the most people living there and also the most corpses.
Especially outside the main hall of Cao Mansion, there were more than 20 piles of corpses scattered on both sides of the bluestone steps and avenue.
The corpses were male and female, old and young, but their death conditions were similar. They were all devoured by the evil poison puppet, flesh, flesh and spirit, turning into a pile of white bones and falling to the ground.
Ji Tianxing walked around Cao's mansion and found a total of eighty-four bones.
Several of the corpses were found in hidden places such as woodsheds and cellars.
If Yunyao hadn't told him how many people there were in the Cao family, he wouldn't have been surprised.
From the outside, the Cao family suffered a misfortune and was wiped out overnight.
However, the body of Cao Jingfeng, the eldest son of the Cao family, is not there, and his whereabouts have been unknown for a month.
After Ji Tianxing investigated the situation in the Cao family, he was 80% sure that the person who massacred the entire Cao family was Cao Jingfeng.
"A young hero with a bright future was poisoned by a demon and turned into a demon puppet who only knew how to kill. He actually killed everyone in his family, including his parents, brothers and sisters...
Vicious magic poison, damn demons!!"
He secretly clenched his fists, accumulating deep anger and murderous intent in his chest, wishing he could tear the Demon King and all the demons into pieces!
At this moment, he suddenly frowned and showed a puzzled look.
He was vaguely aware of a warm feeling in his head, as if something was burning in his mind.
However, he did not feel any discomfort, and the temperature on his forehead was normal and nothing unusual.
He quickly used his spiritual sense to look inside, and saw that the Dzi Bead in his mind was flashing with dense white light, exuding invisible mysterious power.
"Sure enough, the Heaven-Building Pearl has reacted...but is this a sign?"
This thought flashed through his mind, full of doubts, and he walked around Cao's mansion twice more.
As a result, the abnormal reaction of the Dzi Bead did not dissipate, and it continued to flash with a dense white light.
But he didn't find any clues and couldn't figure out what was going on.
The Heaven-Building Pearl was too mysterious and powerful, and he knew nothing about the efficacy and secrets of the Heaven-Building Pearl.
In desperation, he could only leave Cao's Mansion temporarily and return to the City Lord's Mansion.
By the time he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the Sky-Mending Pearl had calmed down and no longer flashed white light.
Seeing this scene, he was able to determine that the phenomenon of the Dzi Beads shining and heating must be related to the Cao Mansion.
There is nothing special about the Cao Mansion except that the entire family was massacred by demon poison puppets.
Thinking of this, he had a vague premonition that the abnormal reaction of the Dzi Bead must be related to the magic puppet.
