It has been ten days since Xiao Ruolin entered the No. 1 Pavilion in the World. During these ten days, the people outside the pavilion had already dispersed.
Queen Hu was left alone, guarding outside the attic, quietly waiting for the return of her child.
After Xiao Ruolin entered the attic that day, Emperor Mingde ordered the building to be destroyed. However, despite the combined attack of the five eunuchs of Tianqi, the attic remained intact.
Because when the five eunuchs attacked the pavilion, there was a layer of sword energy protection outside the pavilion that enveloped the entire pavilion. No attack could damage the pavilion in the slightest.
For seven days, Emperor Mingde never gave up, but after all, he was the leader of the Beili Kingdom and could not stay for long.
During these seven days of delay, the memorials in the court piled up into a mountain.
Outside the pavilion, Queen Hu looked haggard, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, sitting on a futon and beating wooden fish, praying to the Buddha to bless her poor child.
Xiao Chuhe, who was accompanying her, felt heartbroken every time he saw his mother's thinning body.
Ten days have passed, and Ruolin has not brought anything to eat. I am afraid that by this time...
Thinking of this, Xiao Chuhe's mood fell to the bottom, and his heart ached.
He brought a bowl of meat porridge, stepped forward and said, "Queen mother, please eat something first. You have only drank water and refused to eat anything for these ten days. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it."
Queen Hu looked haggard, looking at the bowl of hot meat porridge brought by Liu Zi, her eyes blurred.
She choked and said: "I can still drink water, but Xiaoshi San can't even drink water. He has never suffered since he was a child. It's so dark and cold inside. He is only seven years old, how helpless he must be."
"It was the Queen Mother! It was the Queen Mother who harmed him. If I could have slept a little less at that time, if I could have woken up when he sneaked out." Queen Hu burst into tears, tears of sadness and despair rolling down her cheeks.
Perhaps, something unexpected had happened to Little Thirteen, but she was unwilling to accept the fact that Little Thirteen had left her.
Seeing his mother blaming herself so much, Xiao Chuhe was filled with regret and heartache, wishing he could bear all the pain for her.
However, he also knew very well that Ruolin was the meat that fell from the queen mother's body.
For so many years, the queen mother has always held Ruolin in her hands. Now, no one can accept such a blow.
In the first pavilion in the world.
At this time, Xiao Ruolin has undergone earth-shaking changes in these ten days.
For these ten days, he practiced almost without sleep, practicing sword moves in the attic day and night.
The sword energy that swept everywhere around him destroyed him into a human figure, and the several blood marks left by the sword energy on his small face had long been scarred.
The originally fair and tender skin was covered with ferocious sword wounds, which was shocking.
He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain all over his body and continued to shout: "The 381st time! I will definitely be able to break through the master's sword formation this time, come on!"
In the attic, the cold wind howled.
The shadow of the sword shook, murderous intent filled the air, and a cold and chilling aura rushed towards his face.
Countless rays of silver light alternately flashed, and even though the center of the sword formation could not be clearly seen, the sharp and menacing sword energy alone was enough to make people's hair stand on end.
The sword energy seemed to turn into a sharp blade and cut Xiao Ruolin's skin, and the bright red blood stained the clothes.
In the past ten days, Xiao Ruolin had not touched a drop of water, and his body had already reached its limit.
He was on the verge of mental collapse, but there was still faith in his heart that supported him.
He pulled out the windlass sword again, and the dark sword blade made a clanking sound.
Xiao Ruolin tapped his toes, leaped into the air, and jumped into the sword formation.
Looking around, the sword energy exploded, countless rays of silver light surrounded him, and in an instant, the sword energy filled the air.
"My disciple, Xiao Ruolin, learned the skill of Master Baiyu Sword Immortal and learned a sword."
"The sword stretches across 30,000 miles, and the light of one sword chills fourteen continents!"
"Sword name: One sword coming from the west!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ruolin suddenly raised the sword in his hand, and the blade cut through the sky.
In an instant, there was a heavy sword shadow, a sword flew out, and the sword energy was like a stormy sea, sweeping the entire space.
In an instant, the sword energy hidden around him was shattered by Xiao Ruolin's sword force.
"Haha! I'm done!"
Listening to the sound of sword energy breaking around him, Xiao Ruolin couldn't help but laugh, followed by an unprecedented level of exhaustion.
Xiao Ruolin took back the sword in his hand and knelt on the ground with one knee, his eyes slightly closed, and he was panting.
The sword strike just now consumed all his strength, to the point where he felt that he was no longer able to raise his hand to raise the sword, and the entire right arm holding the sword felt like it was broken, causing a sharp pain.
However, there is more joy at this moment.
Because from now on, he will also have his own sword moves.
Given time, he will definitely be able to develop a set of sword skills on his own and become a swordsman.
Xiao Ruolin dragged his exhausted body, bowed deeply towards the plaque, and then walked out of the attic.
The moment he stepped out of the attic, the sun shone slantingly, and a familiar and beautiful figure came into his eyes.
Xiao Ruolin stood at the door in a daze, staring at the figure of his mother in stunned silence.
At this time, the queen mother still had no trace of the royal noble manners of a mother who respected the world. She had sunken eyes, a gorgeous headdress, a splendid phoenix costume, and a tired look on her face.
Those beautiful eyes were filled with tears, as if they wanted to melt everything in the world into them.
"Mother." Xiao Ruolin murmured.
Hearing the sound, Queen Hu thought she was hallucinating.
But when she raised her head and saw Xiao Ruolin at the door of the attic, she was stunned for a moment.
She broke away from the maid's support and staggered towards Xiao Ruolin.
Seeing the person closest to him, Xiao Ruolin slowly walked forward.
"Lin'er! My Lin'er!" Queen Hu hugged him into her arms.
This joy of surviving the disaster filled her heart, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Mother, I miss you so much..." Xiao Ruolin fell into the arms of his mother, his voice full of exhaustion.
"You kid, why do you always like to run around? Do you know how worried your mother is about you!"
Queen Hu became angrier as she thought about it. She slapped her son's butt angrily, feeling both angry and distressed.
Although she blamed him, she was reluctant to hit him hard for fear of damaging her child.
But a long time passed, and Xiao Ruolin still didn't respond.
Only then did Queen Hu realize that her son was abnormal. She lowered her eyes and touched Xiao Ruolin's face tremblingly.
Only then did he realize that his child was pale, his face was bloodless, and his body was covered in blood.
"Lin'er!"
At this moment, Queen Hu was completely panicked.
She hurriedly held her son in her arms, trembling lips, and said anxiously: "Hurry, hurry up and declare the imperial doctor!"
