After passing through the dangerous misty forests and rocky hills, the rest of the journey was so peaceful that it felt a bit surprising.
Occasionally, we encountered a little trouble, but it was quickly solved by well-trained guards, and the three princesses and others surrounding them didn't even get their hands dirty.
But just such a scene made everyone's hearts pick up in their throats, and they were always on high alert, paying attention to what was going on around them.
After all, the calm before the storm is what is truly scary.
"How long will it take if we keep going like this!"
Xuanyuan Luzhen looked at the high sun, and felt that the sun inside seemed to be a hundred times more powerful than outside. There was no one in the palace to hold an umbrella for her to enjoy the cool air, and there was not even fruit and sour plum soup to relieve the heat, but she had only been in the valley for half a day.
It feels like every day seems like a year.
Seeing the appearance of his fifth sister, Xuanyuan Yanqiu couldn't help but shook his head: "Lu Zhen, you are going to the academy this year. How can you do it if you don't learn to endure some hardships? The emperor's uncle will not allow you to be lazy in the academy.
"
"Sister Sanhuang, don't worry. Uncle Huang loves Lu Zhen the most. As long as Lu Zhen acts coquettishly, he won't let Lu Zhen endure the hardships." Xuanyuan Luzhen stuck out his tongue at Xuanyuan Yanqiu and tilted his head with a playful and cute look.
.
Next to him, Xia Chuyi lay on the back of a guard, pretending to be weak, and did not even raise his eyelids when he heard this.
Thousands of students came to this dangerous Demon Soul Valley to compete for the qualifications of the ten outer disciples, and the powerful people were directly selected internally, and when they reached the age, they could be sent to the Imperial Master Academy.
Further education.
There are injustices and gaps everywhere, but no one is born to be superior, and no one is born to be humble. The reason why people work hard is to eliminate such injustices and gaps, or even surpass them, so that
Become the one who dominates it all.
Originally, she just wanted to keep getting stronger to avoid the Thunder Bead's backlash and to avoid being bullied, but now, Xia Chuyi felt as if a little ambition had emerged in her heart, and at a certain moment, it would quietly change the trajectory of her life.
"Bang--"
A firework exploded overhead, and even in the daytime, the colorful smoke could still be seen.
Xuanyuan Yanqiu stopped talking to Xuanyuan Luzhen and immediately turned serious, looking at Qin Yaoxuan: "It seems that there is news from other teams."
Before he finished speaking, there were only three loud "bang bang bang" sounds, and three more flag cannons were fired in the sky.
This time, the expressions on everyone's faces were stagnant.
Qin Ling muttered softly from the side: "Three flags and cannons are in urgent need. What big thing happened there?"
Qin Yao
"Why, I don't want to stay with her, princess!" Xuanyuan Luzhen looked coldly at Xia Chuyi, really wishing to leave her here to fend for herself.
"Then Miss Xia will come with us. Qin Ye and Qin Ling will protect the third princess."
"Qin Yaoxuan you!"
Xuanyuan Yanqiu now also had a headache for his ignorant sister: "Lu Zhen, you have to be obedient. The situation there is urgent. You haven't entered the academy and gone through systematic training. Your skills are still shallow and you have no actual combat experience. Yao Xuan has arranged it this way.
It’s for your own good.”
Xuanyuan Luzhen has always followed the example of her third imperial sister. She is not only elegant and noble in both ability and political integrity, but she is also the proud disciple of Grand Instructor Huo Meng of the Imperial Academy. Qin Yaoxuan, the immortal genius who is praised by everyone, is recognized by the world as a golden boy and beautiful girl, so
She wants to be closer to this sister entirely because of her reverence.
Hearing Xuanyuan Yanqiu speak like this, Xuanyuan Luzhen, who was originally planning to make a scene, immediately stopped: "I just listened to Sister Sanhuang."
But as soon as she said this, she pointed at Xia Chuyi and added: "It's better to keep her. If she goes, she will only hinder my Third Emperor Sister."
This time Qin Yaoxuan didn't say anything more. With a slight nod, the group immediately divided into two teams and acted separately.
"Put her there. It's not too heavy for you to carry such a big person." Xuanyuan Luzhen glared at the guard who was carrying Xia Chuyi, and the man immediately followed the order and put her on the hot ground.
.
The sun is scorching the earth like fire, and the temperature can definitely cause slight burns to human skin.
Xia Chuyi was groggy and so weak that she could only let others manipulate her. Even when she felt the ground under her body was hot, she was unable to move.
"You deserve it." Seeing this, Xuanyuan Luzhen folded his arms and snorted, and found a cool place to sit aside. The guard who followed immediately took off his clothes to cover her head.
Qin Ling and Qin Ye looked at each other, then stood aside silently.
They are the Third Young Master's men, and going against the Fifth Princess would bring trouble to the Third Young Master, and they don't have the guts yet.
Xia Chuyi felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace. He opened his lips that were already white and cracked, and even if he wanted to speak, he could not utter even a single sound.
It is necessary to take good care of yourself during the detoxification period, but if you go through such trouble, you will probably lose half your life.
Everyone around them saw it, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand.
Qin Ling couldn't bear it, but she just turned her head and stopped looking at her.
Only when you hit rock bottom can you know the warmth and warmth of people.
Xia Chuyi slowly raised his eyelids, calmly taking in the actions of everyone around him, and finally focused on Xuanyuan Luzhen.
Those eyes were clear and cold, and there was no hint of death.
Xuanyuan Luzhen shrank his neck, unconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Xia Chuyi, and muttered in confusion: "Why is there a cold wind, so cool?"
But looking at the dying Xia Chuyi, she felt that she was overthinking.
After waiting there for a while, a guard who had just followed Qin Yaoxuan and the third princess staggered out, clutching his blood-stained chest, and fell directly at Xuanyuan Luzhen's feet.
"Five...fifth princess..."
Xuanyuan Luzhen jumped up when he saw this scene: "Where is the Third Emperor Sister?"
"The third princess...she and the third young master can't get away now, so I asked the younger one to come and pass the order, and let the two guardians of the third young master...take the fifth princess and leave first..."
"Explain what happened to me clearly!" Xuanyuan Luzhen grabbed the guard's collar and shook it vigorously, but there was no way he could get any more information from the dead man's mouth.
When Qin Ye and Qin Ling heard that their young master's situation was not optimistic, they immediately wanted to help, but... the third master asked them to escort the third princess out!
Qin Ling rolled her eyes and immediately started thinking about it. She walked back and forth anxiously: "I don't know what happened to the third princess and the young master. I'm really anxious..."
Xuanyuan Luzhen was already a little irritated by the sudden news, and when he heard this, he couldn't help it anymore: "Let's go in and save them!"
"But Third Young Master wants us..."
"Who is bigger, Qin Yaoxuan or this princess? You follow me in, if anything happens, I will take care of you!"
Qin Ling sneered, but still responded respectfully: "Yes."
"Fifth Princess, what should she do?" The guard who just carried Xia Chuyi pointed at Xia Chu.
"A dying man, let him be left here to fend for himself."
