After hearing this, Zi Yuan raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. After a long while, she said: "Demon Lord Youyue, my subordinate. I want to go to the Nebula Empire to rescue Nangong Jing."
"Rescued?" Ming Youyue snorted coldly, "Nangong Jing lost so completely this time, you still want to rescue him?"
"My subordinate knows, but..." Zi Yuan hesitated for a moment, lowered her head, pursed her lips and said, "My subordinate is worried that if I don't save him, he will die in the dungeon..."
"Zi Yuan, are you really attracted to a mortal?" Ming Youyue turned around, lowered her eyes slightly, and asked Zi Yuan.
She originally thought that Zi Yuan only chose to be with Nangong Jing to complete the mission, but she did not expect that the other party would actually fall in love with him.
"That's all. Since you want to save people in the Nebula Empire so much, I won't stop you." Ming Youyue retracted her gaze and said calmly, "But..."
"But what?"
"If you are discovered by Fufeng, don't come back. I will never allow anyone to expose the existence of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain." Ming Youyue was silent for a moment and said slowly.
"Yes, I understand that I will never reveal my identity." Zi Yuan nodded firmly, "If I really can't save Nangong Jing, even if I die, I will not let Fufeng catch me. of."
"Well, just remember what you just said." Ming Youyue responded lightly, then stood up and left.
…
Biluo Manor, inside the waterside pavilion.
Nangong Yueze and Nangong Yichen sat face to face at the stone table, both remaining silent, and neither one broke the deadlock first.
"Ninth brother." After a long time, Nangong Yichen couldn't help but break the calm, "Master of the Yin Yue Pavilion, is it really you?"
Nangong Yueze raised his eyes and said softly, "Other than Jiu Ge, third brother is the first to know about my identity."
"Why have you never told me this before?" Nangong Yichen frowned slightly.
"It's a long story." Nangong Yueze smiled faintly, "My original intention of creating Yin Yue Pavilion was just to protect myself and the people I care about, but I accidentally turned it into the biggest conspiracy in the world. Martial Arts.”
"I have long heard that there are many masters and countless treasures in Yin Yue Pavilion, but now I am curious, where did you get these people and things from?" Nangong Yichen asked again.
Although his tone was calm, the light shining deep in his eyes unreservedly exposed the shock in his heart.
"Except for those pills that I refined myself, Si Qin prepared everything else in advance." Nangong Yueze explained.
Si Qin?
Hearing what the other party said, Nangong Yichen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Before, he had always thought that Si Qin was just an ordinary guard, but now it seemed that he was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
At least, his strength is no less than that of Li Yangming beside Nangong Jing.
Seeing that Nangong Yichen was silent in shock, Nangong Yueze took a sip of the tea in front of him and continued: "Third brother, I have been thinking about one thing these days, and I just want to take this opportunity to have a chat with Third Brother. .”
"What's the matter?" Nangong Yichen looked at Nangong Yueze in confusion.
Nangong Yueze pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "I may not stay in the Nebula Empire for too long, so I hope that you, third brother, can replace me and succeed to the throne as soon as possible."
"Ninth brother, what are you talking about?!" Nangong Yichen suddenly stood up and looked at Nangong Yueze across from him with wide eyes, his eyes full of shock and confusion, "Are you kidding the third brother?" Well, you have only succeeded to the throne a few days ago, how could you possibly give up the throne to me again?"
"Third brother, I'm not kidding you." Nangong Yueze shook his head lightly and said seriously, "I also said just now that I won't stay here for too long, so before I leave, I need someone When someone comes to succeed the throne, among the many imperial brothers, I think you, third brother, are the most suitable person in terms of temperament and moral integrity."
"But I don't understand why you made such a decision suddenly. Is it because of Yin Yue Pavilion? Or are you involved in something?" Nangong Yichen asked.
"None of them." Nangong Yueze shook his head again, "This matter has nothing to do with Yin Yue Pavilion, and third brother does not need to ask the reason in detail. I will find a suitable opportunity to tell the ministers in a few days, saying that I have insufficient experience in governing the country. The third brother will assist in the administration."
Hearing this, Nangong Yichen's heart trembled suddenly, "You, you want me to assist the government?"
"That's right." Nangong Yueze nodded, "Only in this way can the ministers slowly accept you."
"But I have never been favored by my father since I was a child, and my mother was just the lowest concubine until her death. What qualifications do I have..." Nangong Yichen lowered his eyes, with strong disappointment in his voice.
"Third brother, there is no need to belittle yourself. Since I have chosen you, it means that I believe in your ability." Nangong Yueze smiled and looked at each other with firm eyes, "Besides, Ling Yun and Ling Fei are young. They both have very high prestige in the military, so it would be good to choose the prince from among them in the future."
"This..." Hearing this, Nangong Yichen fell into deep thought for a short time.
He has always kept aloof from the world, and never thought that one day he would be related to the title of emperor.
"Third brother, I know it may be difficult for you to accept all this now, but you have to remember that in my heart, you are never worse than anyone else." Nangong Yueze said, reaching out and patting Nangong Yichen's cheek. Shoulder.
Feeling the warmth and strength coming from his shoulders, Nangong Yichen couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he looked at Nangong Yueze and said, "Ninth brother, I will consider this matter you mentioned."
"Well, that's very good, but this matter is very important, so I ask Third Brother to keep it secret for the time being. I'm worried that if some people with ulterior motives know about it, it may cause trouble." Nangong Yueze warned.
"Well, don't worry, I'm sensible." Nangong Yichen nodded in agreement.
…
It's past half time.
The auction has officially begun.
The first item to be auctioned was a soul-cutting sword, with a base price of five hundred thousand gold leaves.
The blade of this soul-cutting sword is four feet long, the handle is two feet eight, the sword is two fingers wide, the blade is narrow and sharp, the sword body is carved with exquisite and complicated lines, the tip of the sword is dark red, and there is a faint smell of blood. .
As soon as the soul-cutting sword appeared, the whole place was excited.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold leaves!!"
"Six hundred thousand gold leaves!!"
"Eight hundred thousand gold leaves!!"
"..."
As the bidding rang out, the price of the Soul-Slaying Sword soon rose to one million gold leaves.
Nangong Yueze turned his head and looked at the soul-cutting sword on the auction table, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he was not surprised at all by the result of the bidding.
In the end, the sword was bought by Feiyun Sect for 1.2 million gold leaves.
The second item is a spirit-gathering pill. The spirit-gathering pill is something that practitioners dream of. It can quickly improve the practitioner's cultivation level in a short period of time.
"The best spirit-gathering pill, low price, one million gold leaves!!"
As soon as the price of the Spirit Gathering Pill was announced, the entire auction house exploded.
"I will pay you 1.3 million gold leaves!!"
"I will offer 1.5 million gold leaves!!"
"..."
"Three million gold leaves!!" At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came from somewhere.
Immediately afterwards, a man stood up and stared at the Spirit Gathering Pill on the display table with burning eyes.
Hearing the words three million gold leaves, everyone present was stunned and couldn't help but cast surprised glances at the speaker.
Is this guy crazy?
Even if the Spirit Gathering Pill is rare, there is no need for him to raise the price so high all of a sudden, right?
"It's the Feiyun Sect again." Nangong Yueze suddenly murmured in the waterside pavilion.
"Huh? Who is this person?" Nangong Yichen couldn't help but ask.
"He is the leader of Feiyun Sect, Ye Feng."
"Oh?" Nangong Yichen raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he heard Nangong Yueze talk about such a thing, and he suddenly became interested. "It seems that Feiyun Sect is bound to win today."
Nangong Yueze nodded lightly, "As far as I know, Ye Feng's cultivation has been promoted very quickly in recent years. If my guess is correct, his spiritual roots should have been reshaped, although I haven't yet I’m going to find out more about the person who helped him reshape his spiritual roots, but I always feel that there is no need for him to spend so many gold leaves to buy this spirit-gathering pill.”
"Then what is his purpose for doing this?" Nangong Yichen frowned in confusion.
Nangong Yueze shrugged, "Who knows, I'll ask him later."
…
On the other side, the Nebula Empire's imperial city and dungeon.
Nangong Jing was leaning against the wall of the cell with his eyes closed to rest. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked forward, with a cold light in his eyes, "Who are you?"
As Nangong Jing finished speaking, a woman in a purple dress appeared out of thin air in the cell. She looked at Nangong Jing with a veil on her face, covering her appearance.
"It's me, I'm Ziyuan..." The woman in the purple skirt opened her red lips lightly and said in a clear voice.
"Zi Yuan?" Nangong Jing asked with a slight frown, "Who are you? I don't know you."
Because his memory had been erased, there was no memory of this woman in his mind.
When Zi Yuan heard this, she was not in a hurry, but stretched out her hand and slowly took off the veil on her face.
In an instant, a stunningly beautiful face appeared in Nangong Jing's sight, making his breath suffocate.
"I have held a big wedding with you, and I am your wife." Zi Yuan looked at Nangong Jing calmly and said.
"Wife?!" Nangong Jing was startled.
Zi Yuan nodded slightly, "Yes, you said before that you would always be with me."
After saying that, Zi Yuan waved her hand and returned all the memories to Nangong Jing intact. At that moment, memories poured into Nangong Jing's mind like a tide.
He recalled the scene when he first met Zi Yuan, the scene when he got married to her, and the uncontrollable feeling during the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room...
"Zi Yuan, it's really you..." Nangong Jing looked at Zi Yuan blankly and said excitedly.
"Well, it's me." Zi Yuan looked at Nangong Jing and said.
"Zi Yuan, hurry up, get me out quickly, I don't want to stay in this ghost place, and help me kill Nangong Yueze, I want him to die! I want him to die immediately!" Nangong Jing pulled anxiously. Zi Yuan's hand shouted.
