To the west of Jiangzhou, thousands of miles away, on the river, there was a small boat going upstream.
The nearly full moon disk hung in the dark night sky, surrounded by stars, illuminating the sparkling river water.
A sharp eagle whistle broke the silent night, but after this sound, the lonely river surface seemed particularly desolate and strange.
"Miss, I just received news from them that the genius from the Zhuge family went to Jiangzhou." The old man in black robe put away his mobile phone and conveyed the received news to Pei Nanqing.
"A genius from the Zhuge family?" Pei Nanqing frowned, as if she couldn't remember who that person was.
When the old man in black robe saw this, his brows couldn't stop twitching, and then he reminded: "Miss, that's the one...the one who chases after you and doesn't marry anyone..."
"Oh, now that I think about it, it turned out to be him." Pei Nanqing realized later, "So, he went to Jiangzhou to find that boy?"
The old man in black robe bowed and said: "Zhao Xi Nian was suppressed, and there is no longer any possibility of winning the Central Plains. His fortune was scattered. That kid won eight fights, and everyone in the world was divided into two fights.
For a person blessed with such good fortune, it is only natural that the Zhuge family, who was ordered to supervise the fate of the world, would send people to explore the truth. "
Pei Nanqing smiled slightly disdainfully and said, "I'm just afraid. I'll test the truth to see if it's false, and I'll be jealous if it's true."
The old man in black robe responded with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master Yan is still young after all, and he has an unparalleled level of cultivation in the divine realm. It is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant. What's more..."
When the old man said this, he glanced at the woman in the windbreaker and did not dare to say any more.
Pei Nanqing looked back for a moment and said, "If you hesitate to speak again next time, you don't have to speak again."
The old man in black robe looked horrified and continued hurriedly: "What's more, the young lady is so charming and graceful. What man wouldn't go crazy after seeing her? It's normal for Master Yan to have such rebellious behavior."
Pei Nanqing turned around, looked the old man up and down, and asked coldly: "I rarely hear such praise for a junior from you, so you think highly of this Zhuge Yan?"
"Among the younger generation, apart from Ling Wuchen from Jiangzhou, I am afraid that only Zhuge Yan can carry the Nine Cauldrons of the Central Plains in the future." The old man in black robe did not dare to hesitate any longer, but said simply and neatly .
Pei Nanqing didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned around, wondering what she was thinking.
After a moment, Pei Nanqing suddenly said: "Apu, I almost forgot, what is your last name?"
"Miss Dissatisfaction, my surname is Zhuge. In terms of seniority, I really want to call Zhuge Yan Young Master." The old man in black robe did not deliberately hide it.
Because he knew very well that there was nothing in this world that could be hidden from the young lady.
Since I can't hide it, I might as well invite it openly and truthfully.
After hearing this, Pei Nanqing just nodded and did not blame him for taking his surname Zhuge and speaking for Zhuge Yan.
On the contrary, Pei Nanqing asked the old man in black robe many times before if he wanted to help the Zhuge family with some benefits, but the old man firmly refused.
"Miss, do you want me to call Master Yan and ask him not to conflict with Ling Yi?" After a while, the old man in black robe couldn't help but ask.
"Are you worried that Ling Yi is not his opponent?" Pei Nanqing asked curiously.
The black-robed old man smiled sarcastically and said: "I don't dare to make any wild guesses. Anyway, I can't guess accurately. But Master Yan is proficient in the ancestral Bagua Formation, and he has the blessing of the Yaotian Lihuo from the ancient ferocious beasts. I'm worried... …When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.”
Pei Nanqing asked: "When did Zhuge Yan Yaotian Lihuo?"
"Three years ago, we mobilized the entire clan to round up a Lihuo Yaotian Fierce Sun Tiger in the Shiwan Mountains of Jinzhou." The old man in black robes replied truthfully.
Pei Nanqing nodded and did not comment on the matter. Instead, he said lightly: "I remember that a few months ago, that guy also came into contact with a few Fierce Sun Tigers, right?"
"Miss Hui, yes. It's a pity that he didn't let those two little guys recognize his master and missed a huge opportunity." The old man in black robe couldn't help but sigh.
He also really liked Ling Yi, just like he liked Master Yan, so he asked the young lady for help again and again, but it was a pity that Pei Nanqing did not agree every time.
"Really? And why do I feel that he got a great opportunity by letting them go?" Pei Nanqing said with a smile.
------
Jiangzhou, top floor of Kirin Hotel.
"Ling, have you made up your mind? Should you kneel down and beg for mercy, or should you wait to die?" the young man in black robe asked coldly.
"Hey! Ling Yi and I are friends, why don't I kneel down to you on his behalf?" Xu Qingwu knew that Ling Yi, a proud man, would never kneel down to beg for help, so he shouted.
But the young man in black robe directly refused, and then continued to persuade Ling Yi: "Ling, do you hear that such a good woman kneels down to save you? Do you really have the heart to see her die? "
Xu Qingwu glanced at Ling Yi and opened his mouth, but never opened his mouth to persuade Ling Yi.
When Ling Yi saw this, he smiled at her and said, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Xu Qingwu asked back, then smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for my willingness to kneel down and beg for mercy on your behalf?"
After saying that, Xu Qingwu shook his head: "You saved my life, suppressed my father-killing enemy in Dongting Lake, and solved the knot in my heart for many years. I just knelt down for you, far more than Not as good as the kindness you gave me."
But Ling Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not thanking you for this."
"No?" Xu Qingwu was stunned, "Then what are you grateful for?"
"Thank you for not speaking to persuade me just now." Ling Yi said with a smile.
Xu Qingwu was puzzled, and his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle. He looked at Ling Yi with confusion on his face, looking forward to his answer.
Ling Yi said: "If you ask me to beg for mercy, I will feel that I saved the wrong person."
When Xu Qingwu heard this, his body shook violently.
Yes, there was a time when even when faced with an opponent as strong as Zhao Xinian, he never begged for mercy. Now that he was here, he was clearly not at the end of the road yet, so why did he feel like begging for mercy instead?
Ling Yi's words were like a wake-up call, making Xu Qingwu wake up from a dream, and his whole body's energy and spirit rose to a new level.
"Life is nothing more than death, so why should we be afraid?" Xu Qingwu raised his head and said loudly, his voice piercing the magic circle and straight into the void.
And just after she finished speaking, black liquid suddenly separated from her body, covering her body in an instant, and the stench was unpleasant.
Even as strong as Xu Qingwu, he almost couldn't help but vomit after smelling the stench.
"It's done!"
Ling Yi gave a soft drink, then waved his hand, and a heavy downpour fell from the sky, washing away the dirt on Xu Qingwu's body.
Then with another wave of her hand, the rainwater dissipated, and the clothes on her body were dried in an instant by the temperature of the flames that were slowly approaching around her.
Xu Qingwu raised his hands and put them in front of his eyes, looking at the white and flawless palms and fingers with disbelief written all over his face.
"This is..." Xu Qingwu stared at Ling Yi with wide eyes and a look of horror on his face, his eyes full of expectation.
"Xu Qingwu, congratulations on your promotion to Grand Master, White Jade Flawless Realm!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
