"Ye Futian!! I'm going to kill you!!"
Si Qin angrily pulled at the iron chains that bound his hands, not even noticing that his wrists were scratched.
"Okay, I won't waste time with you today. I have to go and see what happened to the sixth prince of Yuyue Kingdom who has been refined into a puppet demon soldier." After Ye Futian finished speaking, he turned around. Left without looking back.
…
On the other side, Beifeng City.
Nangong Yueze has been walking in the city for half an hour, and he has not stopped for a moment along the way.
The scene in the city was the same as what Si Qin had seen the day before. Except for a few occasional pedestrians, the streets were deserted and lifeless.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Nangong Yueze was about to find a place to rest for a while before continuing to look for Si Qin. At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps not far away.
"Sister, hurry up!" As the footsteps got closer and closer, there was an urging voice.
"Brother, wait for me!" A girl's voice sounded, with a hint of anxiety.
Nangong Yueze raised her head and saw two children hurriedly running not far away. The older boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger sister was about seven or eight years old.
The two were wearing coarse cloth, and their faces were stained with dust and mud.
They quickly ran past Nangong Yueze. As they ran, the little girl suddenly tripped and fell heavily to the ground.
When Nangong Yueze saw this, he quickly stepped forward and bent down to help her up, "Little sister, are you okay?"
The little girl was quite aggrieved at first, but after seeing the handsome face in front of her clearly, she immediately showed a sweet smile, "Thank you, brother, I'm fine."
The boy running in front was startled when he saw his sister fall. He ran back in a panic. While looking at the girl, he asked worriedly: "Sister, did you get hurt anywhere?"
The little girl shook her head and said softly: "Brother, I just scratched my knee, it's okay."
Hearing this, the young man felt relieved and said, "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
After hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Nangong Yueze looked at the girl in confusion and asked, "Little sister, why are you two running so fast?".
"It's getting dark, I have to go home quickly with my brother." The little girl pointed to the boy in front of her and said in a sweet voice: "My mother-in-law is the only one at home, so we have to go back early to avoid worrying her. "
"That's it." Nangong Yueze nodded.
The little girl tilted her head and looked at Nangong Yueze, then couldn't help but ask: "By the way, big brother, who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
"My name is Yueze, and I come from a neighboring country." Nangong Yueze said with a smile.
neighboring countries? The little girl blinked her big black beautiful eyes, seeming to understand.
What are the neighboring countries? She had never heard of it.
Seeing the girl's confused look, Nangong Yueze didn't explain too much.
After a pause, he turned his gaze to the young man, "Little brother, I want to ask, I've been wandering around here for a long time, why can't I find even an open inn?"
"To be honest, Young Master Yuize, the inns here have been closed a long time ago." The young man frowned slightly and said, "Not only Beifeng City, but also the inns in some surrounding cities have closed down."
"Huh?" Nangong Yueze asked doubtfully, "Did something happen here?"
The young man nodded nervously, "In the past two years, people living here have always disappeared for no reason. People in the city have also moved away because of fear. In the end, the entire Beifeng City has become what you see now. Like this."
"But why don't you move away?" Nangong Yueze asked again.
The young man sighed, "My mother-in-law is old and my sister is young. If we leave Beifeng City, where can we find a place to stay?"
When Nangong Yueze heard this, he didn't answer. He felt a faint pity for the two brothers and sisters.
"Big brother." At this moment, the little girl suddenly walked up to Nangong Yueze, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "It's getting dark. If you can't find a place to stay, just come back with us. Come home."
"This..." Nangong Yueze hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoxue, and my brother's name is Amu." The girl grinned.
"Xiaoxue..." Nangong Yueze muttered once, then reached out to touch the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, thank you."
"Hehe, brother, you're welcome!" The girl took the initiative to hold Nangong Yueze's hand, "Let's go quickly."
"good."
Soon, Nangong Yueze followed the brother and sister towards the outside of the city.
…
Night falls.
On the outskirts of Beifeng City, there is a river with clear and fast water.
After walking for a while, the three finally arrived at a farmer's house. There was a lot of firewood piled outside the house, and an old woman was busy in the kitchen.
"We're here, big brother, this is my home." The little girl said. After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the old woman not far away, "Mother-in-law! There is a guest at home, and we brought a big brother back."
Hearing this, the old woman raised her head. The moment she saw Nangong Yueze, she was startled for a moment, then showed a loving smile and said: "Xue girl, please invite the guests into the house, dinner will be ready soon. "
"Okay." Xiaoxue nodded obediently and immediately led Nangong Yueze into the courtyard. "Brother, please wait here for a while while I prepare the dishes."
Nangong Yueze said "hmm", sat in the yard and looked around.
Not long after, the old woman and the young man came out with hot meals. The old woman arranged the plates while inviting Nangong Yueze to come and eat.
The meal was very rough, consisting of only a few dry pancakes, a plate of pickles, a large bowl of porridge and a pot of vegetable soup.
Although it was a simple meal with a bland taste, it tasted particularly sweet to Nangong Yueze. Perhaps he was already hungry after a long day's journey.
"Sir, you look rich and noble, why did you come to Beishan City?" The old woman couldn't help but ask.
"I came here to see my friend. He has not been heard from since he came to Beifeng City yesterday. I was worried about him, so I came here." Nangong Yueze answered truthfully.
"No news? Alas, they have probably been taken away by those evil spirits..." The old woman sighed, with a look of regret on her face, "Many people have disappeared inexplicably during this period. Alas, I don't know who they are. What are the evil spirits trying to do to catch them?"
Hearing this, the little girl bit her chopsticks, lowered her head, and whispered: "My father and mother disappeared like this back then..."
"Xue girl." The old woman glanced at her, "Don't mention the past anymore."
The girl pouted her lips, "I know..."
Seeing this, Nangong Yueze's eyes flickered for a few times, then he patted the girl's shoulder comfortingly and said: "Don't be sad, no matter who it is, brother will definitely find a way to find out all those evil spirits!"
"Really?" The little girl suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Can brother really help me get my parents back?"
Looking at the little girl's pure expression, Nangong Yueze nodded and said softly: "Brother, try your best."
"Yes." The little girl nodded heavily, "Big brother, thank you."
…
Zixu Academy, Yuanwu Hall.
Throughout the whole day, Jiu Ge had no intention of practicing.
After dinner, she sat alone in the pavilion outside Yuanwu Hall, staring casually into the distance.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiuge heard a faint sound of footsteps behind her. She subconsciously turned around and saw a figure wearing a white fairy skirt appearing in front of her without any warning.
She looked at Jiuge, her eyes full of disdain.
"Who are you?" Jiuge stood up immediately and asked vigilantly.
"Haha, girl is really forgetful. We met at Tianxin College three years ago." Luo Yushang said with a faint smile.
three years ago?
Jiuge was stunned.
She suddenly remembered that the woman in front of her had indeed been looking for her.
"What are you doing here?" Jiuge asked coldly, "This is Yuanwu Hall, how did you break in?"
"Tch!" Luo Yushang smiled coldly, "How can a mere mortal barrier trap me?"
"Nangong Yueze is already with me, don't pester him anymore!" Jiu Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of anger appearing in his eyes.
"Entangled??" Luo Yushang raised her chin proudly and looked at Jiuge condescendingly, "I have told you before that he and I are already engaged. You, a mortal woman, are not worthy of him at all!"
"It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not! If you continue to speak out loud, don't blame me for being rude!" Jiuge lowered his eyes and cast his cold gaze on Luo Yushang.
"Haha!" Luo Yushang mocked contemptuously: "Are you too overestimating your capabilities? Do you think I will be afraid of you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yushang flipped his wrist, and a ball of red spiritual power quickly condensed in his palm and smashed directly in the direction where Jiuge was standing.
Jiu Ge obviously didn't expect that the other party would dare to take action here. Caught off guard, her body lost her balance and fell directly to the ground.
The red spiritual energy hit the stone pillar next to Jiuge, and with a loud bang, the entire stone pillar shattered.
Hearing the sound, Helian Wenyan hurried out of the training room.
Seeing Luo Yushang, Helian Wenyan was startled at first, and then helped Jiuge up, "Girl Jiuge, are you okay?"
Jiuge shook his head, "Master, I'm fine."
Helian Wenyan looked at Jiu Ge, and after making sure that she was not injured, he raised his head, glared at Luo Yushang angrily, and asked: "Who are you, how dare you act wild in our Zixu Academy??"
"Hmph!" Luo Yushang snorted lightly and looked at the two people opposite him with disdain, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that if I really wanted to kill you with that blow just now, you wouldn't do it anyway. It’s possible to escape.”
"Extremely arrogant!" Helian Wenyan shouted coldly, "Girl, I see you are young, how dare you speak so wildly!"
"Hehe...hehehe...you look very old, but in my eyes, you are just a waste." Luo Yushang raised his eyebrows and said with mockery in his words.
"You!!" Helian Wenyan's face suddenly turned red when he heard Luo Yushang insulting him like this.
"Okay, Master, don't pay attention to this crazy woman." Jiuge took Helian Wenyan's arm and said softly, "She likes to go crazy here, so let her make trouble on her own."
After saying that, she grabbed Helian Wenyan and left.
However……
Luo Yushang seemed to have no intention of letting them go.
"Wait!"
She shouted and stood directly in front of the two of them, "Jiuge, why don't you ask why I came to you today?"
