Yan Shuangyu's funeral was all taken care of. Yan Qing, under the advice of Mrs. Yan, thought for a long time and finally wrote a letter to Baili Xiyi. Feijian passed the letter to Baili Xiyi, stating the reason and asking if he could provide the birth date.
character.
Later, Bailixi sent her birth date with a flying sword as expected. Yan Qing took it and went to find the imperial master. She didn't know until night that Yan Xi was going to the front line, and she was very worried.
Yan Xi smiled and said, "Qing'er, my father is not a weak scholar. With his cultivation, he can still protect himself no matter what happens. There is no need to worry."
"But father, you also know that over the years, there are many cultivators who serve the royal families of various countries, and there are not many cultivators with my father's level. And this time the Western Chu Kingdom is so rampant, they must be confident, fearing that they have secretly recruited
There are some cultivators who want to catch me Feng Rong by surprise!"
Yan Xi thought about it seriously. He was not so arrogant as to think that he was the only cultivator who would join the royal family of a certain country. Hearing this, he muttered: "What Qing'er is worried about is that I promise you to be careful, okay?"
"
"But father..." Yan Qingzheng was still unwilling to let Yan Xi take risks.
"Qing'er, your sixth sister...your fourth uncle really has no way to take revenge. As a father, I can't just watch him continue to be depressed." Yan Xi did it for Yan Zhao. This younger brother has been the most affectionate since he was a child. They are two years old.
They were close to each other and had the best relationship since childhood. Shuangyu also had the same special fate as Yan Qingzheng. He also regarded Yan Shuangyu as his daughter. Yan Xi was also heartbroken by her death.
Yan Qingzheng could no longer object.
Seeing that she still looked worried, Yan Xi smiled and patted her on the top of her head, saying: "Don't worry, I went to the secret realm last time. Being a father is not without gain. I have also been serious in my spare time in the past few years."
I have made great progress in my cultivation. And there are elders and wives in the family, so I will cherish my life as a father."
Yan Qingzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Xi suddenly said: "By the way, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not..."
"Father, please speak."
"Prince Xuan... left for the southwest yesterday."
Rong Che is gone?
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
She bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes. These days, she had not deliberately thought of him or his status as a royal prince. The knot in her heart about Yan Shuangyu's death had not yet been resolved.
Yan Xi took a look and saw that her daughter was not indifferent to Rong Che. She looked like she had something to hide.
"Qing'er, if you still want to hear what happened to him in the past few years, I will tell you about it. I will leave tomorrow."
Yan Qing was looking at his father with a complicated expression, but in the end he nodded lightly.
The horror of Rong Che in the past few years is not just that he almost strangled the emperor, silenced the current mouth, and accidentally injured Butler Liu.
His most terrifying outbreak occurred a year after Yan Qingzheng left. Perhaps it was the pain he had suppressed all this time, or perhaps the Demon Lord of Slaughter finally found a flaw. That time, he was in a coma for about three days.
For half of the three days, the Demon Lord of Slaughter occupied his body.
That day he destroyed half of Prince Xuan's palace and also injured some nearby civilians.
I dare not say that there were countless casualties, but there were more than a thousand injured!
"Is there such a thing?" Yan Qingzheng's eyes widened.
"It was that time that his reputation spread throughout the capital. I don't know why, but the emperor later refused to let Prince Xuan leave the capital, saying that there was nothing in the capital that could suppress him. Strangely enough, in the past few years, it has never happened again.
There have been similar incidents.”
Yan Qing was letting out a long breath, feeling heartbroken beyond words.
Rong Che, a persevering person with such a character, was found a gap in the Demon King of Slaughter, which shows how deeply he had been hurt by himself!
She blamed herself very much. It was because she believed in his strength that she dared to do such a thing.
I didn't expect that he would be so affectionate towards me...
"This time he invited himself to the southwest because he wanted to stay away from the capital. In addition, he did have the ability to be a commander, so the emperor agreed to his request. However, my father always felt that it was not just for this reason, but...
…About you."
"I?"
"Well. Because of the Emperor's instructions, the news of your return has been kept secret from Prince Xuan. I think he is afraid that you will irritate him. Previously, he said that there was something in the capital that could suppress the demonic energy in his body, but this time he agreed.
He left the capital to go to the southwest. Isn't this inconsistent? I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I'm afraid it's because I don't want him to know about your presence."
Yan Qingzheng sighed, stood up and said, "Father, my daughter said that to him before, just to protect him. My daughter's feelings towards him have never changed..."
Yan Xi looked at her daughter and sighed quietly.
Even though he had already suspected it, he was finally relieved when he heard her say it today. At least, his daughter was not as ruthless and unjust as she appeared. As a father, he was still very pleased. However, what she said back then was too harsh.
Although there were no harsh words, they hit Rong Che's weak point. Those words made him more embarrassed and heartbroken than killing him.
I hope that after explanation, the two of them can clear up their past grievances.
Yan Qingzheng also knew that she had hurt him too deeply, and the entanglement in her heart disappeared for a while. She just wanted to see Rong Che, tell him her true feelings, and save him from the pain and sinking.
Then a line of tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She was the one who hurt him, and now what qualifications did she have to say anything about saving him...
"Father……"
"Qing'er, I know that you are anxious, but now is not the best time to resolve the misunderstanding." Yan Xi pondered for a while before saying, "First of all, as you said before, the matter of ascension has not been resolved yet. Even though you said that you have full confidence
We are sure, but things in the world will change unless they happen for sure.”
"But his... daughter is really worried!"
"This time I am going to be my father, and I will protect him well. Please understand your situation as soon as possible, and then meet him without any worries."
Yan Qing was thinking about it and nodded lightly.
She is still not sure that she can completely protect Rong Che. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent them. If the mystery of the ascension is not solved for a while and the ascension passage is not opened, will there be cultivators who are nearing the end of their lifespan?
Do you take desperate risks to force yourself?
If the relationship with Rong Che was exposed so early, would it also bring death to Rong Che?
She didn't dare to gamble.
"Thank you for your help, father. Where is he? Please take care of me."
"It is natural for my daughter to protect the person she loves as a father." Yan Xi chuckled.
"Then Qing'er is going back first, and my father also has to pack up and say goodbye to his mother."
"That's not necessary..." Yan Xi suddenly smiled, "Your mother said she wanted to go with your father."
After the trip to the secret realm, the relationship between Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue became stronger over time. When Yan Xi wanted to go deep into danger, Nalan Lianyue refused to let him go into danger alone. Fortunately, she was not a weak housewife.
Man, Yan Xi agreed.
Yan Qingzheng smiled, her eyes full of envy. The relationship between her parents was really enviable.
"By the way, where is brother?" Yan Qing asked.
"Your brother will also go. Speaking of your brother... I'll let your mother tell you later." Yan Xi sighed.
He went to the study to sort out his things, and Yan Qingzheng went to Nalan Lianyue's place. If his mother went too, she would definitely go there to send him off.
"Mom, what happened to my brother? My father seems unwilling to mention it."
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that your brother has always refused to get married. When I asked him if he had a girl he liked, he said no. I don't know what he was thinking. Your father must be a little worried too." Nalan Lianyue said as she packed her things.
Yan Qing said righteously: "Maybe my brother's marriage has not come yet. My mother advises my father not to worry."
Nalan Lianyue nodded and sighed: "Actually, he also knows that as a parent, you will inevitably feel worried."
Yan Qing was taking out a few bottles of elixirs from Najie and handed them to Nalan Lianyue: "Mother, keep them for self-defense."
Nalan Lianyue took it and looked at it, and said: "You are interested."
"This is what a daughter should do." Yan Qing was in a low mood.
Nalan Lianyue knew that her daughter's guilt had not dissipated, so she pulled her to sit down and said comfortingly: "Qing'er, mother knows that the death of your sixth sister has hit you hard, but you have to know that this does not
it's not your fault!"
Yan Qingzheng burst into tears: "But, I obviously have so many pills, but none of them can save Sixth Sister. She took her last breath right in front of me!"
"Qing'er, you and I are both immortal cultivators. We should understand that even we are born, old, sick and die, and there will be a day when our body and mind will disappear. We are just immortal cultivators and have not yet become immortals. We have no ability to bring the dead back to life!" Nalan!
Lian Yue comforted her with heartfelt words.
"But……"
"Not so much, but my mother also heard about your grandfather's refusal to take the pill, which she admired very much. People will experience birth, old age, illness and death, and accidents will happen. This is the case for your sixth sister. This
It's not your fault or mine, or even the prince's fault. This is your sixth sister's own choice. As relatives, it is enough for us to keep her in our hearts."
"Mother, my daughter just thinks...what's the use of cultivating immortality?"
"Qing'er, there are tens of thousands of scholars in the world. How many of them can enter the officialdom of the court? Does it mean that it is useless for other scholars to study?"
Yan Qing was shaking his head.
"Similarly, even if you are a medical practitioner, your duty is to treat illnesses and save people. If you cannot guarantee that the medicine will cure the illness, what can we who are cultivators of immortality do?"
Yan Qingzheng felt relieved, and Nalan Lianyue's words made her feel worried.
She let out a sigh of relief and finally let go of this knot in her heart.
"The war in the southwest can take as long as a year, or as short as half a year. You might as well take this opportunity to finish your work quickly, so that you can have smooth things in the future." What Nalan Lingyue said was exactly the same as Yan Xi, and Yan Qing couldn't help but start.
I reflected on whether my eagerness to see Rong Che now was a bit too hasty.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the National Preceptor and ask him to tell Senior Brother Baili's fortune. There are so many things, let's do them one by one."
"My poor daughter, mother can't help you with anything. In the past... she was sent to Tianyimen at a young age for eight years!" Nalan Lianyue has always felt guilty for her little daughter, and now she feels even more guilty.
She felt that she was incompetent. Yan Qingzheng had so many things going on, but she could only watch from the sidelines.
Yan Qingzheng shook his head: "Mom, if it weren't for my mother's enlightenment, my daughter would always be brooding over the death of her sixth sister, and her heart would be uneasy. Mother lets her daughter think about it, and untying this knot is the greatest thing for her daughter.
Helped."
Nalan Lianyue smiled and said pitifully: "My good daughter!"
