"What's the difference?" Baili Xiyi asked emotionally.
"If I disclose the Demon Lord's affairs, Rong Che will be the one who gets hurt!"
Prissy's mouth was open and speechless. His eyes were full of shock and struggle. Yan Qingzheng was right, there was no comparison between them.
His shoulders suddenly slumped, and his eyes slowly dropped.
"I'm... afraid that I won't be able to persist to the end..." He murmured.
Yan Qing was taking a deep breath and said: "So, you should give up. Sister Jin Mang is already treating the hidden wounds she suffered because of you. After she is cured, her realm will advance rapidly, and the day of her ascension will be around the corner. It will only take a few days.
If you don't see each other for years, you will naturally fade away. When Sister Jin Mang ascends, you will completely let go of your thoughts, which is also a good thing for you."
Jin Mang has suffered a lot in the past few years, and Baili Xiyi has delayed a lot of practice.
Bailixi was silent for a long time, shook her head slowly, and said, "I'll think about it again when I go back. This time is the last time."
"Sister Jin Mang will be released from confinement in about a year. If you don't come by then, I will treat you as giving up."
After seeing him off, Yan Qing was feeling very heavy. She actually didn't want to ruin her marriage, but Baili Xiyi was really too tough. He was so indecisive and disconnected, and it was Jin Mang who suffered the most.
Since he said this is the last time, whether it is the last time he comes or the last time he hesitates, we can only wait and see.
Baili Xiyi did not leave Guiyimen immediately. Mr. Bao found him and wanted to ask about the situation after the siege of Jiuyoumen.
The two talked for a long time before Baili Xiyi left.
A few days later, Kui found Yan Qingzheng and said that she wanted to go out for a walk.
"Senior Kui, please excuse me." Yan Qing was puzzled. This Kui didn't seem to be very polite and polite. Why did he say hello to him when he wanted to leave?
"Master Yan, I know nothing about the outside world. I want to ask you to be my guide!" Kui said with a bitter face.
"Ah?" Yan Qing was stunned. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he intuitively didn't want to have anything to do with this Kui.
Seeing her expression of embarrassment, Kui hurriedly said: "I can tell you some things about the fairy world, so I'll thank you."
Yan Qing was thinking for a moment, but nodded: "I need a few days to explain."
"Of course, three days is enough?" Aoi showed a relaxed smile.
"enough."
"We'll meet in the square in three days." Aoi waved and walked away.
Yan Qing was sighing, if an immortal asks you to be a guide, can you really refuse?
So I went to Mr. Laibao to explain, went to see the disciples' cultivation progress, and asked Elder Chi for some things.
Finally, he sent a flying sword message to Rong Che, explaining his whereabouts.
Rong Che replied that he was still in seclusion in a hidden place deep in Miao'er Mountain, because the Demon Lord of Slaughter was still absorbing Chen Chong's pure demonic energy.
Only then did Yan Qingzheng realize that Chen Chong was no longer an obstacle, and the two of them had agreed to contact each other regularly.
Yan Qing just couldn't stop laughing, because Rong Che was obviously not very happy when he heard that he was going out with Kui. It wasn't until he asked for regular contact that his message became much more relieved.
Three days later, when Yan Qing came to the square, Kui was already waiting.
"Is everything settled?" Aoi asked.
"Well, thank you for waiting." Yan Qing nodded.
Aoi smiled, he indeed could hardly sit still, but he had agreed to wait for three days no matter how anxious he was.
Aoi was used to it, so she didn't even say a polite word.
"Can I leave?" Aoi asked after taking a step with her legs.
"Okay, I wonder where Aoi-senpai wants to go?"
"Anywhere will do...well, preferably somewhere with people around."
Yan Qing was thinking about it and felt that he had not returned to the mortal world for a long time. He missed his parents and family a little, so he said: "Let me take you to the Fengrong Empire first. That is my hometown."
"That's okay." Kui nodded fiercely.
After leaving Guiyimen, the two went to the other courtyard first. Yan Qingzheng hadn't been back for a long time, so the place was actually a bit deserted. But since it was her first time here, Kui still looked at the buildings here with curiosity and commented from time to time.
Ichiban.
"This is too rustic. This kind of wood doesn't even have a formation attached to it. It has been decaying for decades. Is there anyone still using this kind of wood as a building material?" Aoi looked disgusted.
Yan Qingzheng smiled and explained: "This is originally our other courtyard in the mortal world, and the materials used are naturally from the mortal world. Besides, we have no intention of preserving this courtyard forever."
But Kui tilted her head in confusion: "Since it's been built, why not make it stronger?"
Yan Qingzheng sighed, did not argue with him, repaired it in a hurry and took him away.
Naturally, the first stop was Dongling Pass. Before entering the city, Qingzheng told him some common sense about the world, and also took out some clothes for him to change into, deciding that the two of them would be brother and sister.
"If you just want to take a casual look, then you can use magic to make yourself invisible. But if you want to understand them and try their life, you can pretend to be a mortal and experience it."
Aoi is so curious, so naturally she wants to experience the life of a mortal.
Dongling Pass seems to have not changed much over the years, and the people guarding the city are still the same generals from before. This time it was for experience, so Yan Qingzheng did not have any contact with them.
They found the location of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce and prepared a new identity for the two of them.
Cui Bo has been staying in Dongling City all these years. He is now full of white hair. He was very excited to see Yan Qingzheng. Although the little girl who escorted him all the way still looks like a girl now, it has actually been more than thirty years.
It's past.
"Miss Seventh!" Cui Bo burst into tears.
Yan Qingzheng also smiled with tears in his eyes, and suddenly felt very emotional, if his parents had not been cultivators, would they have been as gray-haired as Uncle Cui...
"Uncle Cui, we haven't seen you for a few years, how are you?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
The two reminisced about old times, and Kui listened with great interest. Although she had heard many of Yan Qingzheng's deeds, she never observed her clearly around her.
This Uncle Cui looked like a mortal at first glance, but Yan Qingzheng was really in love with him.
Later, when Yan Qing asked about Feng Rong's situation in recent years, Cui Bo sighed and stopped talking.
"Why, isn't it bad?" Yan Qingzheng's eyes flashed sharply. His parents had never mentioned the Feijian letter they had exchanged in the past few years.
"No, the emperor is still working hard to govern, and the queen is also very good at caring for the world. It's just that your highness, the prince... is really young and energetic!" Cui Bo couldn't hold it back and sighed again and again.
"Prince? Who has you decided? How old is he?" Yan Qingzhen really didn't pay attention.
"The prince is the eldest son of the emperor, born to the former princess. He must be in his teens now." Cui Bo said uncertainly.
Yan Qingzheng couldn't help but frown when she heard about the former princess. She didn't like that princess.
Speaking of this, something suddenly moved in her heart. The emperor was one year younger than Rong Che, and his prince was already a teenager, but Rong Che was still empty at his knees.
Although he had never mentioned it, and he had strongly resisted the suggestion of the royal family, at this moment, the fact that the prince was already a teenager suddenly touched Yan Qingzheng's heart.
Did Rong Che not mention the heir because he was worried about himself? Did he really not care in his heart?
"Miss Seventh?" Seeing that she was distracted, Cui Bo shouted.
"Oh," Yan Qing came to his senses and responded: "It's okay, Uncle Cui, please tell me."
Trib nodded.
Feng Rong has not had war with other countries in the past few years, but some frictions are still inevitable. Although the emperor is very angry at other countries' provocations, he can only choose to endure it in order to rectify people's livelihood. Feng Rong has always been patient from top to bottom.
Knowing that the emperor is holding back a big move, he will be very restrained in diplomacy.
Everything was going well at first, but last year, when a neighboring country sent an envoy and made routine provocations at the banquet, the young and energetic prince could not hold back and embarrassed the envoy in court.
Although the messenger lost face, there was a smile of success on his lips!
The ministers in the court dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and even the emperor was trying to tolerate it, but the prince ruined it, and all the patience was in vain.
Sure enough, after the envoy returned from Fengrong, the country sent troops to capture a border town. Although it was quickly taken back, the supplies were looted and many civilians were killed and injured. The other party also claimed that this was for
To avenge the previous humiliation of the envoy.
The prince was impeached by the Yushitai for this incident. Even though the emperor was not happy, he still banned the prince for three months as punishment.
I originally thought that after this incident, the prince would be able to restrain himself and grow up, but unexpectedly, after three months of confinement, just in time for the Chinese New Year, the emperor released him to attend a dinner party, where he lost his temper again.
Maybe it was because his previous confinement made him feel that his face was completely ruined, so at the dinner party, he caught a few people at the censor's desk and poured them wine. When they couldn't drink anymore, he even used his identity as the prince to suppress them, causing harm to one of the censors.
The adult drank until he vomited blood, and he was still laughing.
The emperor was also a little drunk that day, and the queen helped him go back to rest early, so the prince's family was the only one at the dinner.
The next day the Censor's Office was quiet and there was no movement. After all, you can't impeach the prince just because he was drunk!
At this time, the Queen Mother also felt that this matter was inappropriate and called the Prince over to admonish her. Unexpectedly, the Prince, who had been raised by the Queen Mother since childhood, felt that at this time, she had grown up and the Queen Mother had limited knowledge, so she openly contradicted the Queen Mother and made the Queen Mother angry.
Almost fainting, he walked away.
Speaking of this, Yan Qingzheng just listened with a stern face. After all, immortal cultivators cannot participate in the affairs of mortal countries, and neither can she.
But Cui Bo started to speak but then stopped. Kui was the first to notice and said directly: "You old man, with your twinkling eyes, you must be hiding something."
Yan Qing was looking at Cui Bo and found that he looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"Uncle Cui, what else is going on?" Yan Qing was thinking about it and asked, "Could it be related to my parents?"
Cui Bo sighed and said: "It has nothing to do with the Third Master, but... it has something to do with His Highness the Prince."
