After Zi Yan and Bai Xue parted ways, they turned back. Along the way, Yao Xiyan told Zi Yan about their experiences in Baihezhou Town and what they saw and heard after entering the black fog. Zi Yan was absent-minded and only focused on Bai Xue.
.
He wanted to know what it meant for King Rui to call her back to his home. It was just a brief explanation and he wanted her to return to the world and never come back again.
When he thought about the worst possibility, layers of sadness and uneasiness filled his heart.
"Aling?" Seeing Zi Yan's delay in speaking, Yao Xiyan thought it was because Zi Yan was tired, "You go back and rest early. I'll talk to you another day!"
Unexpectedly, Ziyan suddenly stopped and said, "Junior sister Yao, that's no need."
Yao Xiyan felt a chill in her heart and bit her lower lip, "Aling, did I do something wrong?"
Ziyan did not answer, but simply said, "I made it clear a few days ago."
After saying that, Ziyan left straight away, leaving Yao Xiyan alone in a daze.
Yes... She already knew that, didn't she? She just stole the warmth of these days through the hands of a dummy...
Back in the inner courtyard, Ziyan frequently lost his mind during the day's practice, and the headmaster saw it all.
When I was free, I asked him puzzledly, "Did you have a conflict with Yao Xiyan recently?"
Just because Zi Yan and Yao Xiyan often talked and laughed some time ago, but they rarely communicated with each other recently, this made the head a little confused.
Zi Yan shook his head, and then asked cautiously, "Master, Bai Xue... when will Senior Sister come back?"
"If you miss her, why don't you go down to the mountain to visit her in person tomorrow," the headmaster said with a smile.
Ziyan did not expect that the master would allow him to visit Bai Xue, so he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master!"
In fact, the boss had his own considerations when he asked Zi Yan to go to the palace. First, the snake king came and sent many so-called snake generals to fight. Second, the sealed soul-breaking bell was lost and appeared in Baihezhou Village again for no reason.
Missing. In addition, King Rui happened to come to take Bai Xue back. All the events were connected together, which was too much of a coincidence.
What's more, what he investigated in Zixu Pavilion is too consistent with everything that is happening now...
Ziyan went down the mountain early the next day. Yunyao Mountain is located in Qilan Prefecture and borders Qiyun Prefecture. Since Qiyun Prefecture is the imperial capital, it is naturally the most prosperous area.
The last time I came here was just to complete a mission, but now that I was passing through the streets and alleys, I felt that it was particularly lively.
Zi Yan's handsomeness caused many girls on the street to blush with embarrassment and stop to watch. The pretty girls in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion were even more enthusiastic and called Zi Yan to come up and have a seat.
"Prince Rui's Mansion is very lively today. I heard that the only son of the Prince just got married a few months ago."
"That's right. No, the princess came out of the palace today and said she was getting married. However, the groom's identity is extremely mysterious and has never been mentioned by anyone."
"No matter who this person is, he has now become the royal son-in-law of the royal family. It is really enviable!"
"Even if it's envy, it's not something I can envy."
Word after word was heard in Zi Yan's ears, and when he heard that King Rui was marrying his daughter, Zi Yan's heart suddenly went cold. He quickly grabbed the two of them and asked, "Is the person you are talking about Bai Xue?"
The two people were frightened by Zi Yan's sudden appearance, "Yes..."
After getting an affirmative answer, Ziyan looked at the bright red sedan chair in front of him with disappointment. The silk and satin on the edge of the sedan chair were flying in the air, like colorful clouds. Above the sedan chair, through the soft gauze, you could vaguely see it.
The beautiful shadow in the sedan chair.
He followed the sedan rolls side by side without any thought, and his eyes fell on the sedan rolls. When the sudden gust of wind lifted up the gauze around the sedan rolls, Ziyan saw Bai Xue stuffed with silk in his mouth.
Zi Yan immediately realized that Bai Xue's marriage was not voluntary!
Bai Xue, on the other hand, leaned against the sedan chair without moving, more like being restrained.
Ziyan followed cautiously until the sedan rolled through the forest and entered the snake cave...
Not long after, a young man slowly walked out of the dark snake cave. Ziyan took a closer look and found that this young man was actually Lin Yu!
Ziyan suddenly figured out the whole thing.
In order to save Lin Yu, King Rui went to Yunyao Mountain to deceive Bai Xue back, and made a deal with the Snake Clan in exchange for Lin Yu, in a way that everyone knew by beating gongs and drums.
Zi Yan has been wandering outside the Snake Cave these days, trying to find a way to get in. However, the Snake Cave has been extremely tightly guarded in recent days. The number of guards outside the Snake Cave has more than doubled compared to the last time he entered. Zi Yan can't find a way to sneak in.
Snake Cave.
Until one day, ten flatbed trucks were suddenly pulled out from the snake cave.
A jet-black wooden coffin is placed flat on a flatbed truck. Among the ten wooden coffins, one of the coffins is completely different from the other nine. Looking closely, it is particularly valuable.
The simple coffin bottle is carved with layers of snake patterns, and there are actually two jade stones that look like stars and moons inlaid on the coffin bottle.
Pulled out together with these ten flatbed carts were the stone statues that were burned by snow that day but were inexplicably restored.
Thinking of the competition that day and the Snake King's deliberate letting go, Ziyan intuitively thought that Bai Xue should be in the most precious coffin.
So, he hid in the bushes and waited patiently for a long time. When the snake guards gathered to discuss the matter of pushing the coffin, he took this opportunity to quickly hide in the coffin bottle he had determined in advance.
After entering the coffin, he felt that he was kneeling on a thick gauze skirt. When his eyes adapted to the darkness, a beautiful face was close at hand and fell into his eyes.
