The next day.
Xu Zhiyun was awakened by the familiar "little beauty" and slowly opened his eyes.
Looking around, Chang Xiu was actually standing beside her bed.
Xu Zhiyun couldn't help but close the quilt: "How did you get in?"
"you guess."
"No guessing." Xu Zhiyun didn't give Chang Xiu any face at all. Ma Qiaozi was captured by the Evil Dragon Sect, and a layer of gloom formed in her heart.
The keen Chang Xiu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xu Zhiyun, and frowned: "Are you worried?"
"No."
"It's impossible, I don't believe it."
"Oh, believe it or not, love."
Chang Xiu had no choice but to change the subject: "Why didn't you see the little sparrow? Aren't you usually inseparable?"
What he didn't know was that this topic hurt Xu Zhiyun's heart again.
Xu Zhiyun: "..."
The smart Chang Xiu guessed: "Your thoughts are related to the little sparrow, right?"
Since Chang Xiu has guessed it, there is no need to continue to hide it: "Well, yes."
Chang Xiu asked: "What happened to her?"
Xu Zhiyun didn't want to hide it anymore. He was tired of hiding it: "He was arrested by the Evil Dragon Cult."
"Why did you arrest her?" Chang Xiu asked again.
This question made Xu Zhiyun blame himself: "Because of me."
"Because of the little beauty?" Chang Xiu asked, thinking for a while, "No, to be precise, it should be because of the seal in the little beauty's body."
"how do you know?"
Xu Zhiyun was very surprised.
Chang Xiu raised his hand and put his slender index finger on his lips: "Secret."
Xu Zhiyun: "..." Those guys who are so mysterious are really annoying.
"What's the little beauty's next plan?"
"Cross the world to find clues about unlocking the seal."
"Are you going to trade this clue with the leader of the Evil Dragon Sect for sparrows?"
"yes."
"What about the deadline?"
"Three months."
Three months is neither long nor short, but if you waste time, it may pass by in a flash.
So we must seize every minute and every second.
Chang Xiu said: "Little beauty, I will accompany you to explore the world together."
"No." Xu Zhiyun refused, not wanting to trouble Chang Xiu too much, "I am enough alone."
Chang Xiu was still worried: "But the world is dangerous..."
Xu Zhiyun made a cheering gesture, as if to cheer himself up: "So what if it's dangerous? Soldiers are coming to block it, water is coming to cover it up, and the sparrows are still waiting for me to save them."
"Okay." Chang Xiu saw that Xu Zhiyun had made up his mind, so he said no more, "Be careful along the way."
"good."
"I have something good down here that should be able to help."
"What?" Xu Zhiyun was a little curious.
"Stand-in doll."
"what is that?"
"Simply put, it's a stand-in. It can imitate every move you make, and others won't be able to tell. With it around, you can pamper your family with peace of mind."
"Thank you." Xu Zhiyun bowed his hands.
"Ahaha, thank you for what. You're welcome. You should. After all, it's my honor to be able to help the little beauty."
Xu Zhiyun: "..." I really regret thanking him just now.
Chang Xiu made a stand-in doll and came out. Xu Zhiyun walked around it curiously for a few times, then lowered his head shyly: "It really looks exactly like me! Looking at the face that is the same as mine, I really I’m a little embarrassed!”
"If you like it, little beauty, I will give you a more interesting doll on your birthday."
"Really?" Xu Zhiyun was a little happy.
"Of course it's true. Why are you lying to me?" Chang Xiu smiled softly, "By the way, I suddenly remembered that you can't enter the world today."
"Huh? Why?" Xu Zhiyun was focused on making a career in the world at the moment because she wanted to rescue Ma Liaozi as soon as possible.
"The Holy Emperor's birthday party is today, has the little beauty forgotten?"
Xu Zhiyun slapped her head, yes, today is the birthday of the Holy Lord, and she has to write a poem for him.
Hey, people just can't be distracted. It's easy to forget things when they are distracted. For example, she almost forgot such an important thing.
"The Holy Father later said when will the birthday banquet start?"
"A quarter past noon."
Xu Zhiyun: "!"
It was already noon, which meant they still had a moment to rush to the birthday party.
This is the birthday banquet of the Holy Emperor. If we are late, it is very likely that the nine tribes will be implicated.
"You won't be late." Chang Xiu smiled and raised his hand, but Xu Zhiyun grabbed it.
"Stop using immortal magic, be careful of being discovered by the Immortal Emperor. Didn't you say that you are most annoyed by the Immortal Emperor nagging in your ears?"
"It doesn't matter. Arriving at the banquet on time is the most important thing right now. My dear, you have to prioritize!"
A bottomless hole appeared in the ground.
Chang Xiu jumped in first, followed closely by Xu Zhiyun.
After the two people jumped in, the big hole closed.
Xu Zhiyun felt like he had been falling. He didn't know how long he had been falling, but his feet finally touched the ground.
Where is this?
Xu Zhiyun looked around.
Red walls and green tiles.
A branch of red apricot climbed up the wall, but it never came out.
"Come on, come up." Chang Xiu climbed up to the wall at some point and waved to Xu Zhiyun.
Xu Zhiyun: "..."
This guy really likes climbing walls.
Chang Xiu urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, it won't be good if the palace guards find out."
"Well, here we come." Xu Zhiyun jumped up to the wall easily.
"The little beauty is pretty good. She jumps much easier than the little sparrow."
When he mentioned "little sparrow", Chang Xiu realized something and stuttered.
"It's okay, it's okay. She will be rescued sooner or later, right?"
Chang Xiu nodded: "Yes."
"I know there is a path leading directly to the place where the birthday banquet is held. Come with me quickly."
Chang Xiu took three steps and two steps to jump up to a higher wall, ran along the wall for a while, and jumped onto a low eaves.
Xu Zhiyun followed him up to the low eaves.
"The Second Prince of the East China Sea Kingdom hopes that His Majesty will be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
"The Crown Prince of Qin Yun State is here to meet His Majesty."
"This is the treasure and specialty of our Luyuan Kingdom. Please accept it with your Majesty's approval."
"These are the maikos from our Feiyu Kingdom. If Your Majesty wants to see them, I will let them dance for a while."
"It's so lively down there." Xu Zhiyun said to Chang Xiu who was lying on the wall.
"That's for sure. Our He country is vast, rich in resources, and powerful. Those small countries are eager to form an alliance with us."
This sounds a bit proud.
Xu Zhiyun couldn't help but complain: "You are not a prince or His Majesty, why are you so proud?"
Chang Xiu knocked Xu Zhiyun on the head: "Don't you understand, little beauty? This is called the feeling of family and country."
What a sentiment of family and country! I didn't expect that this playboy like you has such a side.
Seeing that Xu Zhiyun didn't speak, Chang Xiu asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't the little beauty have no feelings for family and country?"
"I do." Xu Zhiyun said.
At this time, a girl wearing a pink chest-length skirt and a white fox fur appeared behind Xu Zhiyun and Chang Xiu, and patted Chang Xiu on the shoulder: "Brother, the Ninth Prince."
