Just when Nangong Jing was confused, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears.
Hearing this, he immediately looked around and observed vigilantly.
A moment later, a figure passed by not far behind him. The man was wearing a white robe. He looked to be about twenty-seven or eighty years old, and exuded an elegant aura.
In the man's arms was a purple fox. The fox lay lazily in his arms with its eyes closed, as if asleep.
Looking at that figure, Nangong Jing's brows furrowed deeply.
For some reason, when he saw that figure for the first time, he felt a sense of intimacy.
Seeing the man approaching, Nangong Jing quickly stepped aside. However, the man didn't seem to see him and walked straight past him.
After the man walked away, Nangong Jing followed him cautiously.
Unknowingly, the two passed through several mountain roads and finally stopped in front of a wooden house.
"Yuan'er, we're home." The man whispered to the purple fox in his arms.
Hearing this, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Nangong Jing's mind, and his eyes were full of shock and excitement.
Yuan'er?
That purple fox is also called Yuan'er! !
Nangong Jing's heart beat loudly. He quickly hid behind a tree and secretly looked at where the man was standing.
I saw the purple fox slowly crawling out of the man's arms, and then turned into a graceful woman.
Seeing the woman's appearance, Nangong Jing immediately held his breath, and his heart was beating violently. His eyes widened and his eyes quickly became moist.
The woman's appearance was exactly the same as the Zi Yuan in his memory.
At this moment, the man suddenly spoke, "Yuan'er, I feel sorry for you living in such a place with me. My parents and the elders in the clan don't agree with us being together, but I like you, and even if they don't agree, I will." I will definitely marry you."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the hair of the woman in his arms, his eyes as gentle as water.
"Yes, Brother Ming." The woman nodded.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Nangong Jing was a little anxious. Who was that man and why was he with Zi Yuan? ?
No, he wants to stop them!
He wants to get his beloved back! !
"Yuan'er——"
Just when Nangong Jing was about to rush out, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
The originally warm scene disappeared and was replaced by a dark room.
Inside the house, the man was lying on the bed dying, with red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, his face as pale as paper, and his eyes narrowed weakly.
Beside his bed, Zi Yuan was wiping his wounds with red eyes, "Why are you so stupid? Why do you have to go to the cliff to collect medicine for me? You clearly know that I don't need those things."
The man smiled and grabbed Zi Yuan's hand, and said weakly: "Because...because I promised you that I will protect you well in this life, but I can't do anything when I see that you are injured because of cultivation. I...I really Very guilty..."
Hearing this, tears burst into Zi Yuan's eyes, "You idiot..."
He clearly knew her identity and that she was a monster in the form of a monster, but he was willing to give up his own life to protect her!
"Yuan'er, in the next life... In the next life, I don't want to be a weak scholar. I want to be... a person who can control his own destiny..." the man said, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and his voice gradually becoming intermittent.
"No! Don't!" Looking at the man's dimming eyes, Ziyuan shook her head desperately, "Brother Lang, please... don't leave me... I won't allow you to die... no!"
"Yuan'er, I'm very happy... I'm very happy to meet you in this life. If... if there is an afterlife, I... I hope to meet you again. I also wish... to love you and protect you for the rest of my life. ..." The man raised his hand with difficulty and stroked Zi Yuan's cheek.
"Well, in the next life, we will definitely meet again in the next life." Zi Yuan choked and nodded.
Hearing her promise, the man raised his lips in relief.
But before his smile could spread, it completely froze at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Ming!!" Zi Yuan threw herself on the man and cried bitterly.
However, the man could no longer hear her. He held Zi Yuan's hand tightly and would not let go until his death.
"Yuan'er..." Seeing the grief-stricken look of her beloved, Nangong Jing's heart couldn't help but clench, but more than anything, she was still jealous.
He knew that she really liked the man named "Brother Ming".
He also knew that that man was very important to her.
But……
Just when Nangong Jing was in a state of confusion, Zi Yuan's voice suddenly came to her ears: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, you don't have to envy him. This man named Mingzhe is none other than your previous life."
Hearing this, Nangong Jing suddenly froze, his eyes falling on the dead man, his face full of astonishment.
He couldn't believe that the man named Mingzhe was actually himself.
"Your Highness Seventh, no matter in the past life or in this life, the person I like is you..." Zi Yuan's voice was full of affection, "It's a pity that in this life, our fate can only end here. Qi Your Highness, I will always remember you..."
Looking at Zi Yuan disappearing in front of him, Nangong Jing desperately wanted to hold her, but as soon as his hand touched the air, Zi Yuan's figure disappeared.
"No! Yuan'er!!" Looking at the empty fingertips, Nangong Jing's heart seemed to be torn apart.
…
After coming out of the memory barrier, Nangong Jing's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
When he thought of everything he had done with Zi Yuan, a surge of sourness and resentment surged in his chest.
Before meeting Zi Yuan, he thought that his only purpose in life was to obtain the throne and become emperor.
But after meeting Zi Yuan, he suddenly changed his mind. He just wanted to be by her side, pamper her and love her.
Unfortunately, with the death of Zi Yuan, everything turned into a fantasy.
I don't know how long it took before Nangong Jing slowly calmed down his emotions. He looked out the window at the night and said through gritted teeth: "Nangong Yueze, since you killed my Ziyuan, I won't make it easy for you. You Haven't you always liked Jiu Ge? Then I'll let you experience for yourself how I feel now!"
"Yuan'er, just wait for me. I already have your cultivation. When the time is right, I will kill Nangong Yueze and avenge you!"
After saying that, Nangong Jing quickly ran out of the ruined temple and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
…
Outside Biluo Manor.
Jiu Ge chased for a long time, but never found the man who gave her the space storage bag.
Seeing that it was going to be completely dark, Jiu Ge stopped in confusion. She didn't understand that she had no contact with the Feiyun Sect, why would they suddenly give her such a valuable thing?
At this moment, Helian Wenyan caught up with Jiuge, "Girl Jiuge, stop looking for him, that person should have gone far away."
"Master..." Jiuge lowered her head in frustration. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at Helian Wenyan. "I want to go to Feiyun Sect. I suspect that my grandfather is there."
"Your grandfather? Is that the broom head you often mention?"
"Yes." Jiuge nodded, "Grandpa suddenly left without saying goodbye three years ago, and there is no news yet. I have thought about looking for him, but I have never found a suitable opportunity..."
"But why do you conclude that he must be in Feiyun Sect?" Helian Wenyan asked thoughtfully.
Jiuge lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Actually, I'm not sure, but every year on my birthday, I receive a gift from my grandfather, and the person who gives the gift wears Feiyun every time. The clothes of the sect disciples...Master, I always feel that grandpa is deliberately avoiding me..."
Hearing this, Helian Wenyan fell into deep thought.
Jiuge's words are quite reasonable. Perhaps the person she is looking for is really in Feiyun Sect.
"Speaking of which, I haven't formally paid a visit to the Feiyun Sect leader. Since Feiyun Sect has given you such a valuable gift, how can I ignore it as your master? So, tonight we are here We will stay one night in the Imperial Capital, and we will set off to Feiyun Sect early tomorrow morning." Helian Wenyan thought for a while and said.
"Really?" Hearing this, Jiuge happily hugged Helian Wenyan's arm, "Master, you are so kind to me."
"Silly girl." Helian Wenyan reached out and rubbed Jiu Ge's head, and said with a doting look on his face: "I am your master, so of course I have to care about you. Okay, let's go, call Yuan Jie, we Let’s go to the imperial capital together.”
"Okay, Master!" Jiuge responded quickly.
…
Nebula Empire, Yuhua Palace.
In the main hall, Nangong Yueze was sitting at the table having dinner with Chen Shuxian. Seeing Aizi looking worried, Chen Shuxian couldn't help frowning and asked: "Ze'er, you don't even have dinner. Eat a few bites, is it that the food here is not to your liking?"
"Mother and concubine..." Nangong Yueze put down his chopsticks and said in a low tone: "I don't know why, I feel uneasy all day today. I always feel that something is going to happen?"
"Is it still because of Nangong Jing's escape from prison?"
"Yes, and no, in short, something just doesn't feel right."
As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning thunder eagle suddenly flew from the sky and landed directly on the window lattice outside the palace. Seeing this, Nangong Yueze immediately stood up and walked towards the thunder eagle.
"Master, traces of Nangong Jing were found in a ruined temple seventy miles away from the imperial capital." Lightning Thunder Eagle whispered to Nangong Yueze.
"Broken temple?" Nangong Yueze frowned slightly, "Is he still there now?"
Thunder Eagle shook his head and said, "Replying to the master, he only stayed in the ruined temple for half an hour and then left. Now he is heading east of the Nebula Empire."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze frowned even more tightly. He sent so many soldiers out to search, but none of them found Nangong Jing's whereabouts. Now, he successfully avoided them and appeared in Qishili. places outside.
It seems that he still underestimated his strength.
"Master, there are two more things." Lightning Thunder Eagle said again.
"speak."
"When we were hovering outside the ruined temple, we heard what Nangong Jing said in the temple. Not surprisingly, he should have inherited the witch's cultivation. Also, he is very likely to attack Miss Jiu Ge, and also Master, please be careful." Lei Ying told Nangong Yueze exactly what he heard outside the ruined temple.
