A few months later.
Frozen snowy land.
The endless snowfield is covered with countless towering ancient trees. These giant trees that have survived for thousands of years are like guards on the snowy wasteland, standing permanently in this far north.
Thick snow piled up in clumps among the intricately intertwined branches of the trees, as if a soft quilt had been spread in mid-air.
There was an oppressive heaviness in the air, and occasionally scattered snowflakes fell from the gaps in the tree crowns with a halo, flying gently between the gaps between the trees like feathers.
Yunyan patted the snow on her shoulders and followed slowly at the end of a line of dozens of people.
These people all come from the Sword Control Sect above the sixth level. They all have a calm aura and strong skills. It can be seen that Xie Yiming is fully prepared for this exploration of the ancient ruins.
As a Sword Emperor at the pinnacle of the martial arts realm, Xie Yiming still has many disciples and is careful at all times, which proves that he is a very cautious person.
But Meng Zirou is different. It seems that she is used to living a leisurely and generous life, so she seems to be more free-spirited.
She couldn't even bear to walk in the snow for several hours every day. Therefore, ever since they entered the snowy wasteland, she had been carried on a simple sedan chair.
The soft skirt fluttered high in the biting cold wind, and Meng Zirou's white and slender legs protruded from under the skirt, reflecting a delicate luster against the backdrop of the white snow all over the mountains and plains.
The air was filled with the unique aura of adulthood, and even the biting cold wind could not dispel it. Meng Zirou seemed to be completely unable to feel the surrounding temperature, and wantonly teased the young disciples surrounding her.
"stop!"
The tall and majestic body at the front of the team suddenly stopped, and the disciples around him immediately called on all the disciples to stand by.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Meng Zirou asked with some joy, because these days, besides rushing, she didn't have time to take a good rest.
However, Xie Yiming was silent for a moment and then looked at a mountain range in the distance.
"If I guess correctly, the entrance to the ruins is near that mountain range, and we should be able to reach it within three days."
"No, we have to go for three more days."
Meng Zirou seemed to be complaining because three days was too long for her, but she had already come this far. If she gave up now, it would take her even longer to go back, and she would be even more unbearable. .
Xie Yiming understood Meng Zirou's temper best. After all, they were husband and wife. Therefore, he turned around and came to Meng Zirou and spoke to her tenderly.
"Be good, be patient a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Hearing Xie Yiming's consolation, the corners of Meng Zirou's mouth curled up.
"If there is something harvested this time, you have to reward me well."
Meng Zirou's charming eyes swept back and forth on Xie Yiming unscrupulously, as if she were a ferocious beast, not caring about the looks of her disciples at all.
Xie Yiming, who had long been accustomed to this kind of situation, looked calm and calm. He slowly put his thick palm under the soft gauze and smiled evilly.
"You'd better calm down for me, otherwise I won't be able to explain to her."
"ah......"
As a soul-crushing moan came out, Meng Zirou's beautiful eyes became a little blurred, and she instantly collapsed in the sedan chair, with an unfinished smile on her face.
"She will really cause trouble for me, but you may not believe it, but the person I'm imagining in my mind right now is actually him."
Seeing Meng Zirou's happy face, Xie Yiming answered without hesitation.
"He is indeed very good-looking. Even I am a little jealous, so I allow him to appear in your reverie. This is the reward you deserve."
Meng Zirou was very satisfied with Xie Yiming's tolerance and generosity, which is why she used Liuli Fantasy
His status as a disciple of the domestic sect was the reason why he was willing to marry Xie Yiming.
"I knew you were the best to me."
Meng Zirou then gave instructions to the disciples beside her.
"Let him come here."
"yes!"
The disciple accepted the order and walked towards the end of the team.
After a while, Yun Yan came to Meng Zirou's sedan chair. When Xie Yiming saw Yun Yan, he smiled at him and said.
"Young Master is following the team alone. He must be bored. It just so happens that Madam is very depressed along the way. Therefore, Young Master might as well talk to Madam to relieve her boredom. In this way, it will be much easier for us to travel. What do you think, Young Master?"
Although Xie Yiming was asking for Yun Yan's opinion, he did not give Yun Yan any choice. If Yun Yan refused, it would mean that he would give up this rare opportunity.
But based on Yun Yan's observation of Xie Yiming, he seemed very easy-going on the surface, but there was an unfathomable aura deep inside.
Therefore, Yun Yan absolutely believed that what he said was sincere, because even though he had already arrived in front of the two of them, Xie Yiming still did not withdraw his palm that penetrated the soft gauze.
So, Yun Yan replied respectfully.
"Since it is Senior Xie's wish, I must obey it."
Seeing that Yun Yan agreed so readily, Meng Zirou asked in surprise.
"It's rare for little brother to be so reasonable. If I had known this, I shouldn't have been so indifferent to you that day."
Hearing this, Yun Yan suddenly felt funny. If it weren't for Xie Yiming's side, he would have wanted to ask Meng Zirou, could she believe such a lie?
But now is not the time to be impulsive. Yun Yan naturally knows how to measure things, so he answered with pretense of shame.
"Madam is unparalleled in her elegance. I think every man will be impressed by Madam's charm, and I am no exception. As for past misunderstandings, please forgive me, Madam."
Meng Zirou was very pleased with Yun Yan's compliments, and she said to Yun Yan with a smile on her face.
"As you said, I just hate that the remaining three days are too short."
Yun Yan looked at Xie Yiming happily and asked.
"Could it be that Senior Xie has found the entrance to the ruins?"
Xie Yiming turned to look at the mountain range in the distance and smiled.
"Yes, it should be right there."
Later, Xie Yiming gave instructions to the disciples.
"Everyone, please work hard. In three days, we can reach the Titan ruins."
Everyone nodded, and it was obvious that each of them had great fantasies about exploring the ancient ruins this time.
After Xie Yiming finished speaking, he smiled at Yun Yan, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the ruins. Meng Zirou on the sedan chair seemed to have forgotten to cover up her lifted skirt.
Of course, she might have done it on purpose.
Yun Yan had heard about Meng Zirou's usual tricks, because before he left the auction city, Su Xuan had told her about Meng Zirou no less than three times.
Perhaps due to some strange psychology, the more Yun Yan wanted to escape Meng Zirou's temptation, the more he was unable to restrain his inner desires.
"Little brother, seeing how hard it is for you to endure it, why not come up and sit with me? Anyway, this sedan chair can accommodate you and me."
Hearing this, Yun Yan almost stopped dead, and saw him looking at Meng Zirou with a speechless expression.
"Senior Xie didn't say that I could also ride in a sedan chair."
"Giggle..."
Only now did Meng Zirou realize that Yun Yan was not as innocent as he seemed on the surface, but it was right to think about it. He could even pass Su Xuan's beauty test, so how could he compare with Su Xuan.
Therefore, Meng Zirou asked curiously.
"Little brother, I heard that you are already her brother. Why do I feel something strange about this matter."
Yun Yan knew that he couldn't deceive Meng Zirou, not to mention that she was simply testing herself by asking this question.
, so Yun Yan didn't bother to lie anymore and admitted it bluntly.
"Yes, Manager Su is here to help me."
"So you really killed Lu Tianjiao?"
A look of surprise appeared on Meng Zirou's face. Although she had long expected that Yun Yan had outstanding talent, it still made Meng Zirou find it a bit unbelievable that she could become powerful enough to kill Lu Tianjiao in such a short period of time.
However, Yun Yan nodded and replied.
"Yes."
Meng Zirou finally understood Su Xuan's original plan. It seemed that she was sure that Yun Yan would be completely transformed in three years. With Yun Yan's current strength, even if she took action personally, she might not be able to guarantee victory.
But fortunately, she doesn't have to be an enemy of Yun Yan this time. After all, she and Su Xuan have an agreement beforehand. If something happens to Yun Yan in the ruins, it will be regarded as the couple breaking their original vows.
Since force cannot be used, then if it was Yun Yan's own choice, it cannot be considered her fault.
Therefore, Meng Zirou swept away her discouraged mood and said to Yun Yan with a smile.
"My little brother has offended Qianjilou by doing this, and there will be endless troubles in the future. With Su Xuan's strength, it may be a bit reluctant to fight against Qianjilou.
From the Nu family's point of view, it is better for my little brother to join our Sword Controlling Sect. I believe that Qianjilou will not pursue my little brother's faults for my husband's sake.
In this way, we can get along day and night, and with my little brother's talent, it is not impossible for him to inherit the inheritance of our Sword Controlling Sect in the future. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, little brother, do you want to consider it. "
Meng Zirou's words indeed came from the bottom of her heart. Although it cannot be ruled out that she wanted to take Yun Yan as her own, if Yun Yan really agreed, Meng Zirou would definitely provide Yun Yan with all the training resources she had.
You must know that behind Meng Zirou, in addition to the Sword Control Sect, there is also a more powerful Liuli Illusion, which is the top force that the entire Sky City must pay attention to.
Therefore, if Yun Yan could climb to such an elusive top power, he would be able to save at least hundreds of years on his cultivation path below the holy realm.
At the same time, he could personally take back all the grievances and pains Yun Yan had suffered in the past. This feeling was extremely tempting to him. Xiu Shuzhu
However, just when Meng Zirou was looking forward to getting a positive answer from Yun Yan, Yun Yan shook her head helplessly.
"I can't promise you."
"Why?"
Meng Zirou couldn't understand Yun Yan's choice. She really couldn't think of any reason for Yun Yan to refuse such a God-given opportunity.
But after a moment of silence, Yun Yan replied firmly.
"Because I can't let her down."
