"My lord, Dongfang Zimo, please inform me." Dongfang Zimo was not annoyed by this.
The two guards looked at each other with curious eyes, and then a monk with a pair of mustaches ran in.
Not long after, the bearded man turned back.
"The princess invites you, please come in." The bearded man just said coldly and ignored him.
Without any obstruction, Dongfang Zimo came to the hall smoothly.
But there is no one here.
As if he knew someone was coming outside, a pleasant female voice came from inside the house.
"come in."
The sound was not loud, but it reached Dongfang Zimo's ears clearly.
Dongfang Zimo did not dare to neglect, walked through the screen and came to an elegant room.
A graceful woman was sitting next to the coffee table, holding an ancient book in her hand and reading it with gusto.
"I hope the princess won't be offended by your intrusion," Dongfang Zimo said with his hands in hand.
"Young Master sat down to talk. I haven't seen him for a month. It's so gratifying that he has broken through the middle stage of foundation building." The princess closed the ancient book and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Dongfang Zimo.
"Thanks to the elixir given by the princess, I was able to break through in such a short time. I will never forget the kindness of the princess." Dongfang Zimo said with sincere gratitude.
"Giggle! It's just a little elixir. As long as the young master likes anything, I will give it to you." The princess covered her mouth and chuckled, with a trace of flushing on her face.
"Princess, you must not do it. I have already received great favor from the princess, how dare I ask for the elixir from the princess again." Dongfang Zimo shook his head with a wry smile.
"This is a gift from the princess herself. Don't you think you can resist it?" The princess' face sank and she said unhappily.
"Princess, please don't misunderstand me. Naturally, I don't dare not accept the elixir given by the princess. I owe this level of cultivation to the merit of the elixir given by the princess. It's just that I have been here for a while, and I'm afraid that the sect will blame me.
So I came here to say goodbye to the princess." Dongfang Zimo was extremely nervous and finally said the words he had been suppressing for a long time.
When the princess heard this, her expression softened and she chuckled. She stood up and walked leisurely to the window, silently speaking.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Zimo felt inexplicably disappointed.
"Master, why don't you accompany me to the garden to enjoy the flowers?" the princess said to Dongfang Zimo with a smile.
"Yes." Dongfang Zimo knew in his heart that what he wanted to leave might not be possible, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
After admiring the flowers with the princess, Dongfang Zimo returned to his residence with a sigh.
Dongfang Zimo sat on a futon and recalled what the princess had said today.
"It seems that it is impossible to leave here openly..." Dongfang Zimo murmured, and the idea of leaving secretly came up in his mind.
In the princess's room, the woman holding the sword was standing aside, waiting.
"It seems that Dongfang Zimo can't stand still anymore. You have to watch closely these days. I don't want him to sneak out." The princess looked at the book in her hand and said intently.
"Princess, don't worry, he can't fly out of this city even if he has wings." The woman holding the sword said confidently.
Dongfang Zimo originally wanted to leave without saying goodbye, but to leave this city, he needed the princess's handwriting.
Dongfang Zimo knew that the princess would not let him leave, so he naturally did not look for her again.
One night a few days later.
It was approaching late at night, and most people in the city had already turned off their lights and had a rest.
However, in the dark mansion, a figure quietly walked out of the door.
Just after the figure left, a woman holding a sword suddenly appeared in a corner.
The woman sneered and followed.
Dongfang Zimo was walking along an uninhabited path according to the originally planned route.
After these few days of planning, as long as you leave the city without disturbing the guards, you can sneak out of Tianping City early tomorrow morning.
Dongfang Zimo thought like this and soon arrived at the gate of the city.
Although there are several people standing guard at this gate, due to the late night, these people are already exhausted and look drowsy.
Just when Dongfang Zimo was about to find a place to climb over the wall, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the originally peaceful environment.
"Who! Who is there!"
The drowsy guards didn't know who had been stimulated by something, but they all became alert.
They held lanterns and looked around.
"What's the name of the ghost at night!" A big man who was woken up shouted angrily at his companions.
"It seems like someone is attacking me, but I can't see anything." The man who screamed at first explained in a panic.
On the other side, Dongfang Zimo, who was hiding in the dark, hid in a corner in shock and did not dare to show his face.
After this commotion, these guards became more vigilant.
If you escape here at this time, you will definitely be suspected and hunted.
These qi-training monks are relatively easy to deal with, but the one who worries the most is the princess at the golden elixir stage.
After some thought, Dongfang Zimo had no choice but to angrily give up this opportunity and go back in despair.
After seeing Dongfang Zimo return, the woman holding the sword in the darkness followed him in a flash.
Dongfang Zimo returned to his residence with a gloomy face.
Thinking about the strange scene that just happened.
"It must be the woman named Liu Qing who did it!" Dongfang Zimo thought in his heart, and his face became increasingly grim.
If the princess has been sending people to monitor her, then she must be under house arrest.
Dongfang Zimo sighed and had no choice but to turn off the lights and take a rest.
However, after this defeat, Dongfang Zimo did not intend to give up.
After racking his brains for a night of planning, Dongfang Zimo came up with an excellent method.
Early the next morning, Dongfang Zimo found the princess and asked her to go out of the city to relax.
Hearing this, the princess looked at Dongfang Zimo with a smile and said: "I happen to be feeling bored, how about you accompany me to relax."
Dongfang Zimo never expected that the princess would be so difficult to deal with. He smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I let the princess accompany me."
"Even if the young master doesn't want to, forget it, Liu Qing, just follow the young master and follow his orders." The princess glanced at the woman holding the sword aside and said.
"Let the princess worry about it." Dongfang Zimo naturally knew what the princess meant. He was just afraid that he would run away, so he arranged for Liu Qing to be by his side.
Not only that, because Dongfang Zimo has already reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Liu Qing also arranged for two helpers in the early stages of foundation building to come over just in case.
Seeing this, Dongfang Zimo could only feel helpless and silently accept the matter.
Dongfang Zimo left the city where he had been under house arrest for a month and came to the lively streets nearby.
Even though the crowds were flowing like a sea, Liu Qing and others followed closely behind them like gangrene attached to their bones.
These three people were following so closely, which really gave Dongfang Zimo a headache.
With his ability, he naturally cannot escape from these three foundation-building monks.
Just when he felt that there was nothing he could do, Dongfang Zimo suddenly saw a familiar face, and his expression suddenly changed.
