When Ji Tianxing saw clearly the line of small words on the paper, he immediately raised his brows and smiled on his face.
"It's Ke Ke! She actually returned to Zhongzhou!"
Ever since he went to the Demon Clan Imperial Court to borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer and unravel Ji Ke's life experience, Ji Ke has been staying in the Demon Clan Imperial Court.
Kunwu also told him at the beginning that Ji Ke would have to stay in the Imperial Court for at least half a year to resolve his own crisis and slowly refine the mysterious power in his soul.
Now half a year is coming. Counting the time, it's almost time for Ji Ke to come back.
"That's great! Keke came back at the right time, and she can catch up with Yaoyao and I's wedding..."
Ji Tianxing was very happy. After accepting Ji Ke's letter, he turned around and flew towards the entrance of the Emperor's Palace.
The Guiyan Forest mentioned in the letter is thirty miles west of Zhongzhou City. It is a place with quite a lot of meaning.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the demon army was rampant and conquered the world, and the demon clan of the Western Wilderness was the main battlefield.
At that time, the demon clan of the Western Wilderness was devastated by the flames of war, and countless demon tribes and towns were trampled into ruins by the iron hooves of the demon army.
In order to protect their homeland and resist the invasion of the demon army, the heroic martyrs of Zhongzhou City rushed to the Western Wasteland to participate in the battle.
Not only the warriors of the demon clan, but also many righteous men and armies of the human race rushed to the Western Wilderness to help the demon clan resist the invasion of the demon clan.
The war continued, causing chaos in the world, people were in dire straits, and there were countless casualties.
The brave martyrs fought to the death on the battlefield in the Western Wilderness, fighting bloody battles, but they were unable to contact their family members in Zhongzhou. Even sending a letter to say they were safe was a luxury.
Their family members spent the whole day in worry, and often went to the maple forest outside the West City Gate, eagerly anticipating the triumphant return of their relatives.
As time went by, more and more family members gathered in the maple forest, looking at the Western Wilderness and praying for their loved ones.
Although, after the demon rebellion was put down, the demon army withdrew to the Northern Desert.
Some brave martyrs did return triumphantly with victory and reunited with their relatives in the maple forest.
But the vast majority of the heroic martyrs died on the battlefield in the Western Wilderness, and their heroic souls and bones are buried in other places.
Therefore, the ancient maple forest was named Guiyan Forest.
It contains a beautiful meaning. The families of the warriors hope that their loved ones can return safely, like swallows returning to the forest, and return to their hometown smoothly.
In the one or two hundred years after the Demon Rebellion ended, many people from Zhongzhou often went to Guiyan Forest to pay their respects to the deceased.
But in recent hundreds of years, few people have gone to Guiyanlin.
…
When Ji Tianxing arrived at Guiyanlin, the sun was about to set.
The dim sunlight fell on the maple forest, reflecting the red leaves on the trees, and the earth seemed to be covered with a red carpet.
Some people say that the red leaves on the trees and the ground are dyed with the blood of the warriors of the past, warning future generations not to forget the chaos of the demon clan and to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Ji Tianxing saw red leaves and maple trees everywhere, but he didn't think too much about it.
He walked quickly through the forest, searching for Ji Ke's figure with sharp eyes, his heart full of excitement and expectation.
A hundred breaths later, when he entered the depths of Guiyan Forest, he saw a graceful silhouette under a huge two-meter-thick red maple tree.
She was a girl with a slim figure and noble temperament.
She was wearing a fiery red dress, her waist-length black hair was draped behind her head, and she had a pair of fluffy little golden ears between her temples. She was very cute.
She was standing under the huge red maple tree, looking forward quietly, even though the red leaves continued to fall from the big tree and fell on her body, she was completely unaware.
Obviously, she was in a daze and worried.
Although Ji Tianxing could only see her back, he could recognize it at a glance. It was Ji Ke whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
"Keke!"
Ji Tianxing walked quickly to the red maple tree, stopped behind Ji Ke, and called out with a smile on his face.
Ji Ke suddenly woke up, slowly turned around and looked at Ji Tianxing.
A moment ago she was worried and her eyes were a little moist, but now her face became normal and she smiled happily.
"Brother Tianxing, you are finally here!"
Ji Ke responded with a clear voice and quickly took two steps forward to stand face to face with Ji Tianxing.
Her clear and big eyes shone with joy, and she stared at Ji Tianxing affectionately, unable to move her eyes away.
Ji Tianxing didn't notice anything strange, he reached out and pinched her cute little golden ears, and joked with a smile: "Keke, I haven't seen you for a few months, why have you grown taller again?
Hey, not only have you become more beautiful, your strength has also become stronger...you actually broke through to the Tianyuan realm?"
Ji Ke smiled and nodded: "Well, these past few months, I have been practicing hard in seclusion. I just want to reach the Tianyuan realm as soon as possible so that I can return to Zhongzhou and help Brother Tianxing..."
Ji Tianxing smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Keke, I am neither in danger nor strong enemies now, so I don't need help.
Besides, even if there is any danger, I will do my best to solve it. Why would you let you take the risk with me?
Even if I are willing, Kunwu and your parents are not willing!"
He was joking with Ji Ke, making her happy just like before.
But Ji Ke smiled a little reluctantly and just nodded without saying anything more.
A flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she felt even more bitter in her heart, thinking to herself: "Even if I practice hard and reach the Tianyuan realm, I still can't help Brother Tianxing, and I am still a burden..."
At this time, Ji Tianxing smiled again and said: "Keke, you have come back just in time. On the ninth day of the lunar month next month, senior sister and I are going to get married.
When the time comes, you must come and drink our wedding wine! We haven’t seen you for a long time, and everyone misses you very much..."
As Ji Tianxing was talking, he noticed that Ji Ke's expression was a little strange.
Ji Ke stared at him affectionately, with a smile on her pretty face but a layer of mist in her clear eyes.
He quickly held Ji Ke's shoulders and asked with concern: "Keke, why are you crying?"
Ji Ke quickly turned her head and looked away, not letting him see her red eyes, and pretended to be strong: "No... I'm not crying, I'm happy!
Brother Tianxing, I am happy for you... and senior sister!"
Ji Tianxing was immediately amused by her, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, gently rubbed the top of her head with his palms, and said with a smile: "You silly girl, why are you still so silly?
You are happy for us, how can you cry?"
Ji Ke felt his care and care, and felt his gentle palm, as if she was back to the past again...
She could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart, could not hold back the strength she pretended to have, and turned around and threw herself into Ji Tianxing's arms.
She hugged Ji Tianxing's neck tightly with her arms, tears welled up in her eyes, and she burst into tears.
"Brother Tianxing! I...I...actually...the person I like...is you!
Can't you see it at all? Have you never felt it?
You are going to marry Senior Sister, then I...then what should I do?
