After leaving the Minzhong Fairy Mountain, the four of them took the Zhao brothers' Mengchong back home. Sure enough, as Miss Shui said, the Zhao brothers were all trapped in the illusion outside the fairy mountain, and they were only released from the illusion when they left the island.
Knowing that Ji Beichen had to return to Canglanli Palace overnight, the Zhao brothers did not dare to delay, and finally decided that Zhao Xianhai would escort the four of them back to Canglanli Palace, and Zhao Xianfeng would return to Zulong Island first.
After driving all night, Yan Yueli, who got up early, walked out of the cabin to see the sunrise. Yan Yueli, who no longer had to disguise herself, changed back to her old red dress. The sea breeze blew by, and the fiery red skirt stood out against the blue water.
Before leaving, Sea Spirit King Cangming gave some special instructions to Yan Yueli: "Li'er's jade lock that covers the sky must not be left behind. Achen's jade lock is to avoid the thunder of the God of War's blood. But your jade lock is for Avoid your enemies!”
Yan Yueli was lost in thought about Cangming's words and the meaning conveyed in them: "What kind of enemy is this? My mother has never heard of any grievances against anyone in this life. It seems that this enemy is targeting the Shark Sea. It comes from her identity as a saint."
Sea Spirit King Cangming told Yan Yueli that with the death of his mother's previous life, Cangyue, the continuity of the Sea Saint of the Shark Race was discontinued. The mother in this life, Xi Yue, did not inherit the bloodline power of the Saint of the Sea. Instead, as a daughter, she inherited the inheritance of the Saint of the Sea.
Cangming asked Xi Yue to wear a sky-shielding jade lock for Yan Yueli, in order to cover her body with the power of the bloodline from the Saint of the Sea. The reason why Canglan Sword, the sword spirit incarnation of Hai Ling, was placed beside her was to protect Yan Yueli.
When Ji Beichen came out of the cabin, Yan Yueli's worried look could be seen clearly. He took out a coat from the storage ring, put it on Yan Yueli's shoulders, and asked softly: "What's wrong with Li'er? What are you thinking about?"
"No...it's nothing. I feel a little homesick after being out for so long!" Since Min Zhongxian Mountain came back, Yan Yueli always felt that Ji Beichen's aura had changed a lot, but she couldn't tell what was different. The two people who were originally so close seemed to There is a layer of separation.
Ji Beichen noticed something strange about Yan Yueli, took her cold little hand, held it in his hand to warm it carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "It's windy outside, let's go in first, we can reach the entrance of the shoal at noon."
There was no conversation all the way. Near noon, Mengchong stopped at the shallow sea. Zhao Xianhai personally rowed the boat and sent the four people to the entrance of the shoal at Canglanli Palace, then said goodbye to everyone and planned to sail back.
Before leaving, Zhao Xianhai and Ji Beichen reported something: "Clan leader, yesterday the Zhao Xiang family leader sent a message that the Zhao family's status in the capital may change. Although the patriarch has blood from the Mu family, the emperor of the Mu family has always been afraid of people from the Zhao family. , so the clan leader needs to pay more attention to the situation in Cangzhou. If the Emperor of the Mu family really wants to attack the Zhao family, the Zhao family will swear allegiance to you to the death!"
After Zhao Xianhai left, Ji Beichen felt somewhat uneasy. Zhao Bai'er and Li Qier have been in Beijing for some time. A few days ago, he received news from Li Kuisheng's secret guards that Wuji Immortal Lord had entered Beijing.
In addition, Zhao Xianhai mentioned the changes in the status of the Zhao family's court. Although Ji Beichen had little contact with the affairs of the court, he was also aware of the hidden undercurrents and conspiracies.
Ji Beichen was anxious about the matter in Cangzhou, and the pace of his steps inevitably accelerated. The expression on his face was not as relaxed as before, and his eyebrows were lightly knitted together.
"Ah Chen, is there a tingling sensation in the Dantian again?" Granny Sun from the Ghost Doctor Tomb put down her right hand that checked the pulse and asked Ji Beichen's body worriedly.
When Ji Beichen heard Grandma Sun's words, he came back to his senses, shook his head and responded: "No, although he broke through the expulsion stage by showing off his bravery, fortunately there is no tingling sensation in his Dantian."
The moment he shook his head, Ji Beichen raised his eyes and saw Yan Yueli sitting not far behind the two of them. At this time, Yan Yueli was looking towards him nervously, as if he was hesitant to speak.
In the hall of Canglanli Palace, Yan Yueli knew that Granny Sun was checking Ji Beichen's pulse, and her heart was already nervous enough to jump out of her chest. At this time, she saw Ji Beichen's furrowed brows from a distance, and she was so distressed that she was about to cry.
Seeing that Yan Yueli was extremely nervous, Shen Qingxi quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Li'er. Although the medical skills at the Ghost Doctor Tomb are different from those at the Soul-Living Valley, after getting to know them over the past few days, I am convinced!"
Hearing this, Yan Yueli was about to say something to Shen Qingxi, when she met Ji Beichen's raised eyes in the distance. She was startled and stammered in her words: "I, I'm not worried about his Dantian, it's just..."
Although Shen Qingxi is usually careless, she is a thoughtful person. As a bystander, she can see some of the changes in Ji Beichen: "That guy Achen came back this time, and it is indeed different from before, but I I can’t tell what exactly is different!”
Seeing Yan Yueli next to her looking at her with big eyes that were "seeking answers to questions", Shen Qingxi planned to make a deal with Yan Yueli.
She stood up from her seat, intending to use her own personal experience to guide Yan Yueli to find the answer: "This feeling is like the change in my senior brother. When I was young, my senior brother always took us to play and play. I didn't feel that he had much connection with me at that time. Different.
Ever since he saved everyone in a secret realm trial... and since he started managing the sect for the sect master, he has become different from others and has become a maverick. It was also at that time that I began to slowly fall in love with him! "
Yan Yueli followed Shen Qingxi's memories, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she found the answer to what had troubled her for many days: "Yes, that's how it feels! Ah Chen has become mature, and he is no longer the Xiu I just met. He repaired it for the little sword that was completely lost and could not eat the fireworks of the world. From the day he passed away in blue clothes and stepped into Cangzhou City alone, he has begun to slowly change and grow rapidly..."
Just when Yan Yueli was excitedly sharing her findings with Shen Qingxi, a huge and muscular body stood in front of her, and at the same time a magnetic voice sounded in her ears: "What are you talking about? You are so happy. I saw you frowning just now." exhibition!"
Yan Yueli knew that the person standing in front of her was Ji Beichen, and she was so nervous that she did not dare to look up at him. The distance between the two was so close that Yan Yueli could clearly feel the aura emanating from Ji Beichen's words, not to mention the arm he was caressing around her waist.
The hot breath quickly heated up between the two of them, making Yan Yueli's cheeks turn red and her eyes watering. My mouth opened and closed, but not a single word came out.
Ji Beichen looked down at Yan Yueli's slightly red face. Although he didn't know what she just said to Shen Qingxi, it was obvious that Yan Yueli's recent contact with him felt unnatural.
Sensing the changes in Yan Yueli, Ji Beichen didn't know how to improve the tepid relationship between the two. He could only protect Yan Yueli more carefully, for fear that any harsh words would hurt her.
Ji Beichen made a mental draft in his mind and carefully worded his words: "The matter of Canglan Li Palace has come to an end. Senior Jing Wuwei has handed over the remaining matters to Brother Xiaowei. It's time for us to go back after being out for so long. …”
When Yan Yueli heard Ji Beichen say that he wanted to "go back," she suppressed the throbbing in her heart, raised her head and looked into Ji Beichen's calm eyes, and asked: "Is Achen going back to the Soul-Living Valley? Qingxi and I want to go back as well." go back!"
Ji Beichen expected that Yan Yueli was going to say this, so he slowed down his speech a little and his tone became much softer: "I may have to go to Juhe Jianzhuang for a few days...but soon, I will go when things are finished. Looking for you. Li'er will go back with Miss Shen first..."
The moment Ji Beichen spoke, Yan Yueli's cheerful little face immediately changed, her head lowered again, and her voice also had a thick nasal sound: "A Chen, are you trying to drive me away? Do you think I'm an eyesore? , are you tired of me?"
Ji Beichen noticed the change in Yan Yueli's mood, and he tried to explain why he chose to go to Juhe Jianzhuang alone: "Why did Li'er say this? I know that Li'er has been away from home for too long, and Sect Master Yan has urged you to go back many times, so Juhe I just want to talk about the matter with Jianzhuang..."
"Woooooooo..." Yan Yueli's intermittent sobs interrupted what Ji Beichen was about to say.
"Li'er, you..." Yan Yueli's cry frightened the originally calm Ji Beichen into panic. He wanted to touch Yan Yueli's shoulder, but was afraid that she would be unhappy. His outstretched hands were hanging in the air, not knowing what to do.
Shen Qingxi, who was standing next to the two of them, couldn't bear it anymore. She quickly walked a few steps, pushed Ji Beichen hard, and winked at Ji Beichen playfully: "Master Ji, please coax my palace mistress. She can’t bear to let you go!”
After saying this, Shen Qingxi and the witch doctor Grandma Sun walked out of the hall. Only the two people who bumped into each other were left in the hall of Canglanli Palace.
Seemingly awakened by Shen Qingxi's push, Ji Beichen gained some courage to face the somewhat sensitive Yan Yueli in front of him.
Ji Beichen's arms hanging in mid-air gently wrapped around Yan Yueli's waist. The bodies that were originally colliding became closer because of Ji Beichen's movements.
Just when Ji Beichen lowered his head to kiss Yan Yueli, Yan Yueli, who had been lowering his head, suddenly jumped up, hooked his arms around Ji Beichen's neck, and moved his two thin lips towards Ji Beichen's cool lips.
The air was filled with intoxicating emotion, and two wildly beating hearts were instantly ignited. After talking about Chanjuan, the barrier between the two disappeared, and everything they wanted to say came out.
Ji Beichen hugged Yan Yueli tightly, who was nestling softly on his chest, and said softly: "My dear Li'er, how can I bear to leave you? It's just that Li'er has been out with me for so long, my father-in-law has to worry!"
Hearing Ji Beichen call Yan Wugui "father-in-law," Yan Yueli's expression softened slightly, but she still had a stern face and pretended to be angry: "Ah Chen, don't use daddy to blame me. If you think I'm a burden, just say so. !”
Ji Beichen kissed Yan Yueli's thin lips again. How could he not know Yan Yueli's friendship? He felt warm in his heart and comforted him in a low voice: "I know what Li'er is worried about, but now there is cholera in the world of cultivation, and the capital is not stable. This little injury on my body is really nothing. Besides, I want to hand over my mother’s soul to him as soon as possible.”
