"My father... he is going to die?" Zhao Yan found it hard to believe what Coach Cai said. Zhao Changying just broke through the eighth realm and became
The "True King" was a powerful man and showed his power in front of the palace. He teamed up with the Ghost King of Mangshan to defeat the Imperial Master of Da Qi and Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department.
Logically speaking, looking at the entire wilderness, except for Emperor Tianxing, it is difficult for anyone to threaten him.
He is the spiritual pillar of the entire Dayan and the source of confidence for Youzhou people to dare to rebel. But now, Coach Cai tells her that her father is dying and may not see her for the last time.
If Coach Cai hadn't been her respected martial arts teacher and a close subordinate of her father, Zhao Changying, she might have thought that he was talking nonsense and spreading rumors.
"That day, the king fought with Emperor Tianxing in the Zichen Palace and was seriously injured," Coach Cai said with a solemn look.
“He thought that his injuries could be easily cured with Jicheng’s healing medicine.
“But he didn’t expect that what Emperor Tianxing injured was the origin of his soul.
"His soul is dissipating rapidly in an irreversible situation. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long.
"Therefore, before he goes west, he wants to apologize to you and sincerely talk to you about the past." Zhao Yan stood there like a statue, silent for a long time.
Deep in her heart, it seemed as if an invisible pillar collapsed. Zhao Yan and Zhao Changying have never been a father and daughter with a harmonious relationship.
For a long time, she had always believed that her father was a coward who was greedy for wine and did not value friendship - her mother, Mrs. Qu, was murdered in Luojing City, but he remained indifferent.
Later, Zhao Changying revealed the truth to her, but he could not completely resolve the knot in her heart. On the one hand, Zhao Changying colluded with ghosts and caused many civilian casualties, which made her feel uneasy; on the other hand, she was also dissatisfied that Zhao Changying kept her in the dark when preparing his revenge plan, as if he regarded her as an inexperienced person. Like little kids.
However, at this moment, when she knew that her father would leave her forever soon, her heart suddenly felt empty, as if a very important piece was missing.
The surrounding air suddenly became very cold, and the howling wind stung her skin. After a while, she raised her head to look at Coach Cai and said in a calm voice: "Coach Cai, you should be wearing a 'Breaking Sky Bead' on you, right?"
"That's right, Your Highness."
"Give it to me." Zhao Yan stretched out her hand towards him. Her fingers were long and slender, white and flawless, slightly cold in the sunlight, like a beautiful work of art carved from cold jade.
Coach Cai nodded slightly and
The "Breaking Sky Bead" was handed to her hand. His expression looked much more respectful than before - because he knew that this student who had studied martial arts with him since childhood would soon become the new king of the Yan Kingdom.
Zhao Yan turned to look at Gu Xu again: "Sorry, Fellow Daoist Gu, I can't accompany you to the end of the East China Sea as promised before." Gu Xu looked at her.
At this moment, he could see the girl's confusion from the depths of her eyes, and he could also hear the calmness and composure she tried her best to maintain from her voice.
"It doesn't matter," he said,
"This time, it's me who will accompany you to Jicheng." Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows and looked a little stunned, obviously not expecting him to say such a thing.
"Aren't you eager to find all the magic weapon fragments and increase your strength?"
"I'm not that anxious," Gu Xu smiled faintly,
"Didn't I tell you before, 'It's impossible to solve the problem of purple breaking through the same degree'?
"You once saved my life in Jingxing.
"And you will definitely encounter a lot of trouble when you return to Jicheng to inherit the throne. If I escort you, maybe everything will go much smoother."
"But I don't want you to delay because of me -" Zhao Yan still wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Gu Xu.
"Helping you means helping myself," Gu Xu said seriously,
"The Da Qi court hates me much more than you think. They will do anything to get my head.
"Now, the reason why they haven't sent anyone to deal with me for the time being is not because of our remote location, nor because of our superb methods of hiding our whereabouts, but because they saw you.
"In this way, they thought that I had defected to Dayan and was protected by the monarch of Dayan. If they were not sure of victory, they would not dare to act rashly against me."
"But I don't have the strength of my father, so I can't guarantee your safety." Zhao Yan sighed.
"If you are really the reincarnation of the 'Saint Girl', you will only become more powerful after you awaken." Gu Xu responded.
In fact, there was another important reason that Gu Xu didn't tell her - on his way south from Beiming, the closer he got to Jicheng, the more he could feel
There is a close connection between the "Hui Lu" rune and the Vulcan belief. The power of faith from Vulcan believers was like a river, pouring into his meridians continuously, making his true energy quickly become powerful and majestic.
In addition, he just used
"Astrolabe" calculated his own fortune and realized that there was a great opportunity for him hidden in the crisis in Jicheng.
So he decided to temporarily slow down his plan to go to the East China Sea and accompany Zhao Yan to Jicheng to inherit the throne.
"Okay then," Zhao Yan pondered for a long time and said slowly,
"I know that for people like you, once you make a decision, no one can stop you." Then she raised her right arm: "Hurry up and grab my arm!" Gu Xu did it immediately.
along with
The "Breaking Sky Pearl" broke into pieces in Zhao Yan's hands, and their figures quickly disappeared. Coach Cai quietly looked at the place where the two disappeared.
In his mind, the image of Gu Xu holding Zhao Yan's arm still remained.
"Miss's problem...has it been solved?" He frowned slightly. In his subconscious, he was still used to calling Zhao Yan
"Miss". He knew that Zhao Yan had always been averse to physical contact with the opposite sex, and had worried that she would never marry, die alone, or simply find a woman to be her partner.
But now, she didn't seem to reject the young man beside her at all. Not only did she hang her amulet around his neck, but she also let him hold her arm tightly.
Judging from the skilled looks of the two of them, it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this kind of thing.
"Perhaps I will have to call this young man 'His Royal Highness' soon." Coach Cai thought to himself.
There have been many female monarchs in the history of Dayan Kingdom, and the queen's husband also had special titles. But with the surrender of the last King of Yan to Da Qi,
The title "Wang Husband" was also buried in the dust. Now that he picked it up again, Coach Cai felt quite mixed.
