However, the Asuras have other selfish motives. They couldn't let go of the isolated Demon-Sealing Blade, and finally did something to it, no matter what it was and in what way.
The sharp-eyed guards also saw the queen breaking the throne and couldn't help but trembled. They clenched their weapons and stared at the two outsiders. Fortunately, their king quickly controlled his emotions and raised his hand to stop their movements. Then she said without joy or anger:
"Go down first."
Bai Ya didn't react for a moment and almost thought she was shooing away her subordinates. Mr. Shuangyue also had a meal, obviously extremely dissatisfied:
"Just send us away like this. How long will it be delayed? How do you want to solve this matter? Haven't you thought about it after so many years of planning?"
"I came to your palace to discuss something." Bai Ya furrowed his brows and added, "Since you have not agreed on the outcome with him, and you have not listened to my words, it is not appropriate to delay the two sides."
"There are many obstacles involved in the matter of the Demon Sealing Blade. I am exhausted today." The Queen propped her head and said dryly, "You still have something to do. Let's discuss it on an auspicious day. General, see you off."
The two people looked at each other, their expressions naturally ugly. In a moment, Jun Luanjiu had already arrived in front of them. He looked like he was about to sigh, but he didn't. He just made a "please" gesture and said businesslikely:
"You two, don't make things difficult for me."
After all, this was his friend's father, and Bai Ya looked down upon him somewhat. Mr. Shuangyue may not care so much about Mr. Jun's drunkenness, but he also understands that he can't get any results from worrying about his curse just by not leaving. No matter what, he had already said it clearly enough.
They no longer had any objections and turned around and walked down the hall, with Jun Luanjiu following behind them, or rather watching them. Behind them, the Queen's eyes seemed to be fixed on their backs.
This feeling like a thorn in my back didn't subside until I left the palace gate. Bai Ya ignored Jun Luanjiu behind him and raised his head to say something to Shuangyue Jun: "You..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stuck and stared at the group of people walking towards him as if he had seen a ghost. On the opposite side, the three people led by the Shura guards also stopped and stared at them in shock. Qi Huan trembled at the corners of his mouth, and it took him a long while before he managed to speak:
"Old, Old Bai? Are you okay? I see that you are not missing any parts. This, this, the situation you are causing is not serious? The king is not that scary, right?"
Bai Ya could only see his lips opening and closing, and all the words Qi Huan said flowed away, or did not enter his mind at all. His thoughts were very confused or blank. He shook his head almost unconsciously, looked at Jun Luanjiu's unchanged face, and then turned back to look at Jun Aoyan. Aoyan thought she was much more shocked than him. Her whole body trembled slightly, but her eyes were fixed on the figure Bai Ya turned sideways and revealed:
"……father?"
Mr. Shuangyue said vaguely, "Huh?", not knowing whether it was doubt or confirmation. He finally looked at Jun Aoyan and then at Jun Luanjiu.
It's hard to see any special look on Jun Luanjiu's weather-beaten face. At least, there is no trace of excitement to match Jun Aoyan.
"This girl is..."
Bai Ya's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking something was wrong. But Jun Aoyan was still immersed in the joy of meeting again after a long separation, and did not hear what he had just said. She still confided her intense emotions to her father:
"You don't know, you don't understand. I've been looking for you for a long time... I finally got here, and I didn't expect that I would still see you. You are still fine... Dad, I am finally..."
"Girl, I'm rude to interrupt. Just listen to me." Jun Luanjiu made a comforting gesture, and the words coming out of his mouth were extremely cold, "You must have recognized the wrong person."
Lord Shuangyue pushed up his sleeves, held them in his hands, and watched with interest. Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan both looked shocked and confused, while Jun Aoyan seemed to have been punched in the face.
"You...didn't you say that you would never forget me at any time? I am, I am Yan'er? I may have gotten stronger over the years, so my face should not have changed much. Dad, are you... old? I'm confused, what kind of trouble did you encounter when you came here? Did... did they do something to you? What happened to you? What happened!"
Her enthusiasm cooled down incredibly quickly, and her expression turned from joyful to stiff. The smile is still solidified on the face, like a half-melted wax block. It still feels warm and soft to the touch, but you know that the fire has gone out.
Jun Luanjiu forced out a wry smile, and Bai Ya looked over, as if he was sincerely helpless.
"I understand your feelings. But, girl, you are really mistaken. I have never been married and have no family, let alone children. It is better not to get entangled before the royal palace."
Bai Ya came back to his senses. Regardless of the truth, this is not a good time for father and daughter to recognize each other. The king of Wu Kingdom is in the palace, coveting the demon-sealing blade that he has fallen in love with Lord Shuangyue; as an important minister of Wu Kingdom now, if Jun Luanjiu is really the father of the owner and partner of the demon-sealing blade, his and their situation will be extremely delicate, attracting Unfounded suspicion.
He coughed and glanced at Qi Huan, who was still confused, and Liu Shenghan, who was thoughtful. Regardless of whether they could understand it or not, he took the initiative to greet Jun Luanjiu:
"Can you please show us the way? There are a lot of things going on today, and it's dinner time. We have eaten early so we can go back and have some discussions."
Jun Luanjiu withdrew his gaze from Aoyan and nodded towards him. Lord Shuangyue had already raised his feet, and Bai Ya stopped again, pointing towards Shura who was standing beside the three people:
"These are our friends. Please take good care of them."
These words were somewhat of a warning, but the Shura guard didn't react at all. He said solemnly: "I understand. Please leave and let us enter the palace. Your Majesty is busy with affairs and cannot be delayed."
Liu Shenghan grabbed Jun Aoyan's hand, and Qi Huan also read the atmosphere and tried to pat her shoulder, persuading: "Okay, let's go meet the monarch first and have a good talk..."
"say what!"
Bai Ya had already walked out for a while when he suddenly heard Jun Aoyan shouting violently behind him. He turned around and happened to see her shake Liu Shenghan away, pointing here and saying loudly: "Food"
"Don't you know why I'm here? He's here now. What do you want me to say to the king? I've been looking for him for long enough!"
There was a brief silence. Bai Ya tried to read some unbearability on Jun Luanjiu's face, but he turned his back and led Shuangyue Jun as if nothing happened and continued walking. Bai Ya shook his head and couldn't bear to look again, so he stepped up to follow.
Behind him, the Shura guard became dissatisfied and reached out to grab Jun Aoyan:
"This royal land does not allow you to act arrogantly. If you don't keep silent..."
"Get away!"
A roar.
The noisy sound of weapons clashing. Bai Ya and the other three had to stop in shock, and turned around to look.
Jun Luanjiu's daughter, Zhan Ma Aoyan, at this moment, her peaceful appearance was shattered by the anger and anxiety that had been accumulated for many years and had nowhere to vent. She waved a heavy weapon in her hand, creating a fierce wind. She heard the noise all the way around and swarmed towards her. The guards who tried to control her were all swept away. Some of them were unable to dodge, and some were even sent flying backwards. Nothing can stop her.
The poor mountains and rivers of Jiutian Kingdom cannot, nor can Shura or other monsters, gods and ghosts. She just cleared the way through the crowd, holding the Mo Dao that her father had promised to pass on to her, and ran towards her father unstoppably.
Just like when I was eighteen.
Jun Luanjiu's face was trembling slightly. After a long while, he said coldly:
"You are a bunch of losers!"
Too fast, it all happened too fast. Jun Aoyan dragged the knife and rushed to them. Looking at her posture, she would never allow them to leave if Jun Luanjiu didn't explain it clearly to her. Even Bai Ya didn't have time to take the most appropriate action. He just watched Jun Luanjiu and faced Ao Yan, who was running towards him.
Just when she was hesitating, Jun Luanjiu ducked slightly, giving way to the momentum, and quickly struck the side of her neck with his hand.
Shuoyue-kun's back, which had just straightened up a bit, collapsed again. He sighed boredly.
The guards approached in disgrace, Jun Luanjiu scolded them with a stern face, and finally pointed at Jun Aoyan who was knocked unconscious by a hand knife and said:
"The heat is unbearable. This girl must be delirious and should not be disturbed in the palace. Take her to the imperial doctor and let her calm down."
Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan were also shocked by the few movements of the rabbit and the falcon, and they were still stunned. Hearing this, Liu Shenghan quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"My friend is eager to find her relatives. Today, she lost her mind and violated the majesty of the royal family. I hope you will forgive her. Since she is ill, we are also deeply worried. It is better to take our friends away first and wait for another day..."
"Do you think His Majesty is very free?" Before she could finish speaking, Shura, who had led the way before, interrupted her, "You want to see the King, but the King has never taken the initiative to summon you. Now that he is willing to honor you, it is for you. Face, I hope you understand this. Hurry in!"
Liu Shenghan glanced at Aoyan helplessly, and followed Shura with Qi Huan into the hall. Bai Ya watched helplessly as their figures disappeared behind the palace door. Looking back, Aoyan was already being held by two Shura, leading them further and further away.
He looked at Mr. Shuangyue, who looked back at him inexplicably. After a while, he said:
"What do you think I'm doing? What does it have to do with me?"
Bai Ya could no longer react. He went to see Jun Luanjiu again, but the latter had an expressionless face, wondering if he was thinking about anything. They walked with him in silence. Bai Ya's hand was tightened and loosened, and he had thousands of words in his stomach, but he didn't know what to say. He was thinking, if it were him, would he be able to hold on as well as he does now? Although there is no definite conclusion yet, just assume that he is Aoyan's father - what if he is not? It was his own father. Given the situation at that time, what would he think when he saw the old guy who treated him like a stranger?
Probably even more impulsive than Jun Aoyan. Staying out of the situation and reading other people's stories is always the most enlightening.
Although Bai Ya remained silent all the way, Lord Shuangyue spoke uncharacteristically.
"That woman is really crazy. She probably ate something she shouldn't have eaten and had hallucinations."
"Indeed, you shouldn't eat random things from Jiutian Kingdom. What's more, there are many plants and trees that also contain poison. The locals can adapt to some foods that are not fatal. But don't worry, everything prepared for you is foolproof. "
"It sounds like the general is not from here?"
"I have lived here for many years and am used to all these things." Jun Luanjiu said expressionlessly, "In the Kingdom of Wu, civil and military officials do not have clear titles. Even the word 'general' is just a nickname. If it weren't for The king gave me a chance, gave me a hand, and left a way for me to survive, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive now.”
"Then..." Lord Shuangyue drawled, "General, don't you want to go home?"
"The Kingdom of Nine Heavens has long since come and gone. The fact that I can get an official position here is a blessing. I will not betray the place that accepted me. Furthermore, I have no need for young or old in my homeland. If you support me, you will have nothing to miss. Staying in the homeland and serving the country is my current responsibility. Without further ado, since you have arrived at your destination, you two should have a good rest."
"Good work."
Looking at his leaving figure, Shuang Yuejun and Bai Ya looked at each other.
There is no way to start without water leakage.
