Just when Gu Chen's group of soldiers divided into three groups and started to take action, a carriage just stopped here outside Zhenwu Academy.
An elegant woman got out of the carriage with the help of a pretty maid, and was accompanied by a plain-looking female guard with a hint of coldness between her brows.
The three of them entered the academy together, and the female guard was constantly vigilant about everything on the way.
"Miss Sheep, this is an academy. Don't be too nervous, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion."
The woman said calmly. After hearing this, Yang Zhen realized that she had overreacted and shook her head with a wry smile.
"Madam is right, I've really been in a state of panic these past few days."
As the former golden killer of the Heavenly Court, Yang Zhen was originally very good at disguise, but since the Heavenly Overlord made a scene at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor a few days ago and was wanted by the whole continent, she has become particularly nervous.
The situation has changed. With the return of the Overlord, the situation has become more difficult than when Tianting was just destroyed, and her escort mission has become more important.
"I'm so grateful to Miss Yang for the past six months. Heaven has disappeared, but you have always been by my side and Xiaoqiu's side." Shen Yushu said with emotion.
"There is no need to be polite, madam. Madam is very knowledgeable and I have benefited a lot from being by your side."
Yang Zhen said quickly.
At first, she only acted as a guard around Gu Daozi's mother in order to make good friends with him, but as they got along with each other over the past six months, she gradually started to respect her.
This woman was a legend in her eyes. Although she was unarmed, she was knowledgeable about heaven and humans and had extensive knowledge of the past and present.
In the past, she felt that the bookish Confucian scholars were of no use at all and would be doomed if they encountered an enemy. But ever since she saw Mrs. Gu subduing a terrifying monster with the words of a sage in a mountain somewhere, she was shocked.
Changed view.
Up to now, her following Shen Yushu was not just entrusted by the Overlord, but also a subconscious decision in her heart.
"Madam, why do we come to Zhenwu Academy? There are so many people here. It would be bad if we were discovered."
Xiaoqiu whispered from the side, with a worried look on her eyebrows.
Ever since she saw her son's arrest warrant in the city where she settled yesterday, she has lost her former innocence.
"Xiaoqiu, didn't you say yesterday that you were worried that the young master would be alone and wanted to find him?"
Shen Yushu smiled.
"Yes, the young master is wanted by the whole world right now, and the whole world wants to bully him. It must be very difficult for him. Xiaoqiu is really worried about him."
Xiaoqiu's eyes turned red as she said this, and she murmured, "It's just that Xiaoqiu doesn't know anything, so she can't help the young master at all."
"We came to Zhenwu Academy to find help for the young master."
Shen Yushu gently rubbed Xiaoqiu's head.
…
Ye Qingshuang stayed in her room, trying to get rid of many confusing thoughts and practice meditation.
But no matter how she tried, a man's face would keep popping up in her mind, making her uneasy and greatly reducing the efficiency of her practice.
This situation has been going on for many days, ever since she saw Huangfu Wuji's coronation ceremony through the Shuijing Stone.
At the much-anticipated enthronement ceremony, the young man declared war on the new emperor and the whole world. That tremendous courage was deeply imprinted in her heart.
She originally thought that he was dead, and she was slowly accepting this reality in her heart, but she didn't expect that he would unexpectedly return, just like the most upright hero in her ideal.
"What's going on..."
Ye Qingshuang was upset. From that day on, she could no longer practice seriously.
In the past six months, after practicing hard, she finally entered the realm of kings and is now the leading student of Zhenwu Academy.
But these did not bring her any sense of accomplishment. She knew that these halos were insignificant compared to him.
"Rewarding hundreds of cities and conferring princes. Such a huge reward will definitely attract a large number of experts. Now he is weak and weak. I don't know if he can cope with it?"
"What do I think these are doing? I have no relationship with him at all. We are just strangers."
Ye Qingshuang bit her teeth lightly, and she found that she had become extremely conflicted. It was precisely because of this conflict that she had been so upset these days, as if she was going crazy.
"Qingshuang, you have a visitor."
At this time, Mu Ziyu suddenly knocked on Ye Qingshuang's door.
"Who is he? I don't want to see him." Ye Qingshuang came back to her senses from her thoughts that were constantly being sorted and confused.
"Well, it's a woman with a very extraordinary conversation. She said her surname is Shen."
After Mu Ziyu answered, Ye Qingshuang looked shocked!
…
In her small courtyard, Ye Qingshuang saw Shen Yushu with a complicated expression.
Everyone else had been sent away, and now they were the only ones talking alone.
"Mrs. Gu, I didn't expect you to come to me."
Ye Qingshuang said softly, seeing the woman who almost became her mother-in-law again, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
"Do you have any news about Gu Chen?"
After a while, she finally plucked up the courage to ask about Gu Chen.
"Now the whole world is arresting my son. Miss Ye should know about this, right?"
Shen Yushu looked at Ye Qingshuang with deep meaning in his eyes.
Ye Qingshuang nodded.
"I am here today for no other reason than to ask Miss Ye to fulfill the agreement she made with me in the past."
Shen Yushu got straight to the point.
Ye Qingshuang looked stern.
"Back in the Wuchen Sect, you and I agreed that if Chen'er defeated you at the Dragon Ascension Ceremony, you would be his maid. I wonder if this still counts?"
"Now Chen'er is alone and needs help. I have something I need you to do. Are you willing to help?"
After Shen Yushu finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qingshuang silently.
Ye Qingshuang stayed on the spot and didn't speak for a long time.
"Mrs. Gu, don't you dislike me?"
It took Ye Qingshuang a long time to raise her head, her eyes a little moist.
When Shen Yushu asked her to fulfill her old agreement, she suddenly understood the reason why she had been uneasy these days.
She didn't want to stay in Zhenwu Academy anymore, she wanted to rush to that man's side, even if she had to go to hell with him.
It's just that her pride doesn't allow her to do this, and she's also afraid that the man will reject her and dislike her.
Because of this contradiction, she suffered a lot.
But after Shen Yushu made the request, everything suddenly became natural.
She seemed to have found an excuse for herself, and finally let go of her guard.
"In the past, you and Chen'er were just a fight between boys and girls, but now you have grown up. I still remember that when you were a child, you followed Chen'er and called him brother Chen..."
Shen Yushu looked at Ye Qingshuang softly.
Ye Qingshuang's tears couldn't be stopped at this moment, and they were pouring out, and she was choked with sobs.
"Mrs. Gu, I am willing, I am willing to abide by our agreement! Even if it is hell, I want to follow him!"
At this moment, Ye Qingshuang gave up all her pride, just to have a name and be able to stand beside that man like others.
