The cold moonlight shines on the earth, shining on the trees that are sprouting new buds. Through the sparse branches, it casts mottled reflections on the ground, and also reflects on Wuyou's dark and unclear face.
"well..."
A deep sigh came from Wuyou's mouth, which was particularly eye-catching in such a silent night.
At this time, Wuyou was wearing a moon-white gown and was sitting in front of the window. Her childish face was full of tangles. She held her chin with one hand and pointed with her other hand.
The sharp tip tapped against the wooden window sill. It seemed crisp and melodic in the originally silent atmosphere.
After sighing deeply, she retracted her hands, held her head in both hands, and rubbed her already messy hair fiercely, as if she wanted to vent the irritability in her heart.
Wuyou has been in Nanfeng for two months, and it is now early spring. After two months, with the help of her and Long Tian, the situation in Nanfeng has been stabilized, and internal and external troubles are being controlled with violence.
It was resolved under suppression, and no one dared to easily offend the dignity of a once glorious empire.
However, several big countries that were originally prepared to fish in troubled waters have ceased their activities and changed the direction of the trend, expressing their friendship with the South Wind Country. Several big countries that were eyeing the country showed weakness in this way. Naturally, the principalities below did not dare to take any action. Therefore, after two months of hard work,
This worry-free exam has been successfully completed.
Completing the task was originally a very happy thing, but when the fourth exam came as scheduled, Wuyou, who was originally excited, felt extremely embarrassed.
The Fourth Test of the Hidden Tribe: Looking for the Lost Scepter of the Goddess of Life.
The Scepter of the Goddess of Life is the most important weapon of the Goddess of Life. Since the Goddess of Life fell asleep, it has been wandering in the human world. It was acquired by the second emperor of the Nanfeng Empire and became a national treasure of the Nanfeng Empire. It has been enshrined for generations.
In the royal tombs, the heroic souls of the emperors of the past dynasties are protected.
Wuyou's dilemma is precisely because of this matter. If she didn't know Nantian, she could sneak into the royal tomb and steal the main artifact. But now that she and Nantian are close friends of life and death, how can she do it under the eyes of others?
What about stealing his national treasure?
Even if Nantian is the king of a country now, he has no right to open the royal tomb and take out the main artifact, so Wuyou doesn't want to tell Nantian his troubles.
Tomorrow was the day to leave Nanfeng. Wuyou knew the vague location of the royal tomb, but only the Nanfeng royal family knew where it was.
Now even if she wants to sneak into the royal tomb secretly, it will be even more difficult, but the Ten Tests of the Hidden Clan are imperative. Now she is not alone. She also has the care of her relatives behind her. She can't bear to let them down, so she has to
Don't go explore this royal tomb.
"The Mausoleum of the South Wind King, the Scepter of the Goddess of Life, here I come!" After a long period of confusion, Wuyou secretly made up his mind, and the hesitation on his face faded away, making him look much more relaxed.
Because she had finally figured it out, she accidentally blurted out the question as if to relieve her depression.
"Ping Pong..."
The sound of dishes falling to the floor came from behind, awakening Wuyou who had finally let go of his worries.
Wuyou turned around and saw a pair of disbelieving eyes and an angry expression.
The visitor was dressed in a luxurious palace dress, with his hair tied up, and a golden crown on his head, which made him look calm and dignified.
Before Wuyou could speak, a gloomy male voice sounded: "You said you were going to the Wang Tomb to steal the scepter of the Goddess of Life?"
The person who came was none other than Nantian, the new emperor of the Nanfeng Empire.
After getting along for such a long time, Nantian regarded Wuyou as an irreconcilable friend, and was particularly concerned about Wuyou. He knew that she would leave Nanfeng tomorrow, so he brought some fine wine and food late at night to get drunk with Wuyou before resting.
Unexpectedly, during the farewell, Nan Tian overheard a piece of news that made you angry. If someone else had said the words just now, Nan Tian would have been killed by the sword long ago, but the person who spoke was
Wuyou, so Nan Tian suppressed his anger and blurted out the questioning words.
He didn't realize that his voice was trembling slightly when he said this. Yes, he was afraid, afraid of getting a positive answer. He hoped that Wuyou would say that he heard it wrong, or deny it, even if it was true.
It doesn't matter if she lies to him, as long as she denies it, he will believe her.
However, Nan Tian was disappointed after all.
Seeing that Nantian discovered his intention, Wuyou, who was originally a little worried, felt at ease. He looked deeply at Nantian, and Wuyou nodded heavily with a ashamed and sad expression.
After receiving Wuyou's affirmation, Nan Tian's resolute face showed panic. He stepped back several steps before leaning against the wall to stabilize his figure. This decisive king showed fear for the first time.
Nan Tian suddenly felt a fear in his heart. He was afraid that he and Wuyou would become enemies. He was afraid that he would lose the few remaining friends and become a real loner.
"Why?"
The man's voice was tired and loud. His fists were clenched in anger, and his palms were scratched by his nails. A few drops of blood flowed down the seams of his hands, seeping into the crimson carpet and disappearing.
At this time, Nan Tian's expression was extremely terrifying, like a husband who caught his wife having an affair and was questioning her.
This was the first time he saw such an angry Nan Tian. Even Wuyou, who was accustomed to big scenes, couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing the blood in his hands, Wuyou hurriedly used light healing techniques to treat his wounds from a distance.
Perhaps due to Wuyou's series of actions and looking at Wuyou's worried look, Nantian's ferocious expression softened slightly. He stood up straight, straightened his back, and returned to the appearance of a high and mighty king.
"Why?"
It was the same question again, but this time the words were cold and devoid of any emotion.
Looking at Nan Tian, Wuyou felt a sense of desolation in his heart. Maybe he had lost this good friend, and said calmly: "As you heard, I am going to enter the royal tomb and steal the scepter of the Goddess of Life!"
Wuyou's tone was full of helplessness. Ever since the fourth test task was completed, the two of them were destined to be on opposite sides. So he didn't want to explain anything more. What would he do if he explained it? He would become strangers after all.
After listening to Wuyou's words, pain appeared on Nan Tian's face, which was originally cold. As an emperor, the most basic quality is to be joyful without being visible. Originally, he thought he was doing a good job, but when faced with his best friend,
After all, he can't betray.
Seeing Nan Tian suffering like this, Wuyou felt uncomfortable in his heart. Holding back his tears, Wuyou passed by Nan Tian.
"I'm sorry, I must get the scepter of the goddess of life!"
Leaving behind a word full of apology, Wuyou left the palace without looking back, ending this hard-won friendship.
The moonlight was still cold, and it could not calm the anger in Nan Tian's heart when it shone on Nan Tian's gloomy face.
After standing quietly in Wuyou's room for a long time, a look of determination flashed across Nan Tian's face, and he quickly left the depressing room and hurried towards the palace door.
At the gate of Xingzhi Palace, Wuyou's figure had long since disappeared, leaving only the moonlight on the ground.
Early in the morning, in the emperor's study, the captain of the guard knelt respectfully on one knee in front of the emperor.
"The man in the painting is wanted nationwide. He must not be seriously injured, he must be captured alive!" He took out a neatly folded piece of floral paper from his arms, then threw it to the guard beside him, leaving behind a cold word, Nan Tian was deeply moved.
