Tang Zi Qi did not immediately return to the palace, but hesitated outside for a long time, wondering if he should go find Ye Hua Shi. Finally she made up her mind.

She returned to the palace and went to the temporary residence of Ye Hua Shi, but she was not there. A young maid told him: "Miss Ye left the palace earlier. She said that she wanted to go to the Tang Mansion to pay her respects to Master Tang Luo. "

Tang Zi Qi cursed in his heart as he turned around and left. She should have gone to the Tang Mansion to stop Ye Hua Shi, but she was not sure what would happen if Ye Hua Shi saw her. But her heart was pounding. She sprinted along the Cloud Spreading Street as she prayed in her heart that Ye Hua Shi had not heard the grievous news yet.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. When she saw a group of guards rushing towards a certain direction, her heart stirred, and she asked without caring about who it was. That person recognised her, and after saluting her, she said angrily, "Miss Tang, Your Highness has locked Lord Tang Luo up in Su Ye Palace, and someone actually dares to barge in!"

Tang Zi Qi ran to Su Ye Palace, and saw that the "someone" was indeed Ye Hua Shi. Her sword was half out of its scabbard, but there were many guards with Yun Chen as its leader surrounding her, eyeing her covetously. The two sides seemed to have reached a stalemate for a while.

"Impudent!" With the Crown Prince here, you dare to pull the sword? " Yun Chen bellowed.

Xue Yin Shu stood on top of the tall steps of the front gate of the Palace of Su Ye, looking down at them from afar, like a shadow.

"I didn't mean to offend Crown Prince!" Although Ye Hua Shi said that, he did not loosen his grip on the sword, "I just want to know why Master Tang is sealed."

Yun Chen said: "Your Highness is only inviting Master Tang to the palace to recuperate. It is best for young lady not to interfere in this matter!"

Ye Hua Shi laughed disdainfully, as if she felt that this kind of explanation that was used to decorate the ground was not worth refuting. Master Tang is an elder of a Luna Sightseeing Pavilion, how can it have nothing to do with me? Since it's only recuperating, then let me see him once, right? "

"Go back." Xue Yin Shu walked down, and without looking at Ye Hua Shi, he looked into the distance. His tone was unquestionable.

Ye Hua Shi bit her lips: "I thought that since Your Highness acted magnanimously, no matter what crime Master Tang committed, at least you should at least explain it clearly. Since Your Highness is unwilling to reveal it, can you allow me to see Elder Tang for a bit? "

"No."

This answer without any room for manoeuvre placed Ye Hua Shi in a dilemma. Her fingers lightly moved, and the blade began to make a slight sound, as if it was about to be unsheathed. But a hand covered the back of her hand. Tang Zi Qi came to her side, and said in a low voice: "Go back!"

Ye Hua Shi took a step back, and revealed a trace of distrust in his eyes. "A Qi, you too …"

"Big Sis Painting, don't be rash!"

"A Qi," Ye Hua Shi threw a look filled with grief and decisiveness, "Do you still know where your heart is?"

"Trust me!"

"You!" Facing Tang Zi Qi's firm gaze, Ye Hua Shi's gaze finally eased up. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Their conversation was so slight and brief that others could barely make out what they were saying. However, in just a few short sentences, the intention to communicate with each other had already been conveyed to the other party through tacit understanding.

Ye Hua Shi went to visit Tang Luo just in time to see him brought back by Xue Yin Shu. Xue Yin Shu had always been hostile towards the Luna Sightseeing Pavilion, this was known to everyone. Seeing Tang Luo being detained, she naturally thought that it was possible that Xue Yin Shu was going to harm the Luna Sightseeing Pavilion. Although Tang Luo was the number one scholar for the past few years, he did not interfere with government affairs. The only person who could anger Xue Yin Shu was Luna Sightseeing Pavilion. Then, as a Yue Xiao Zhe, if she did not say that she was going to take any actions, she would at least have to meet Tang Luo face to face and figure out what to do next.

But from the looks of it, Xue Yin Shu did not allow anyone to come into contact with him. No matter how tough and persistent she was, it didn't seem like there was any meaning to it. However, Tang Zi Qi's position was not ordinary, maybe there would still be a way.

She believed in Tang Zi Qi. However, adding the layer of intimacy Xue Yin Shu had with her, it was impossible to not worry about her. Now, however, there was no better way than to trust her completely.

Ye Hua Shi loosened his hand and returned the sword to its sheath. She retreated a few steps, saluted from afar, and said, "Your Highness, you've gone too far. I'll take my leave."

Xue Yin Shu waved his hand, and the guards around Ye Hua Shi stepped aside. Ye Hua Shi gave a deep glance at Tang Zi Qi, a complicated look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more as he turned around and left.

Tang Zi Qi heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xue Yin Shu, but remained silent for a while.

Xue Yin Shu walked to her side and said: "Tang Zi Qi, let's go together."

The path from the Palace of Soaring Night to the cloud path was filled with flowers. Just past the spring, it turned its passionate feelings into the blooming flowers, the fragrance of this early summer. It was sunset, and the sunset shone on the flowers and plants on both sides of the road.

As they walked side by side, there was no one else, and even Yun Chen had disappeared without a trace. It's a beautiful evening, Xue Yin Shu thought. If he could throw off the shackles again and again, it was possible that he would be able to walk all the way to the end of the road with a sense of happiness.

But of course, this was an extravagant hope. After a moment of silence, Tang Zi Qi raised her head and said to him, "I'm sorry."

Xue Yin Shu laughed: "Why did you come here to apologize?"

"You are trying to save Big Brother Jane, but big sister painting misunderstood you. She thought her teacher was being kept in seclusion because of you targeting Luna Sightseeing Pavilion. " Tang Zi Qi said, "I wanted to tell her everything for an instant, that way maybe she and Big Brother Jane would meet one last time … …"

"No." Xue Yin Shu grabbed her shoulders and ordered, "Look at me."

She raised her head and looked into Xue Yin Shu's eyes. In his eyes, there was a reflection of the swaying of the flowers, so gentle that it seemed to be shining with determination. "What can you do if you tell her everything? Other than making her go crazy with anxiety, it was completely useless. We do not allow Tang Luo to meet that person in the crescent stone, nor do we allow him to contact the outside world.

He was right. Her panicked and helpless heart immediately calmed down, and she was able to clearly see what she had to do.

"But I don't know why you saved him." she finally asked.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "If I were to say that I just can't bear to have someone die or separate the person I love, would you believe me?"

For a moment she was speechless.

He continued to laugh, "Actually, even if it was me, it would still be hard to believe."

She suddenly raised her head, with a stubborn look in her eyes: "Xue Yin Shu, no matter what, I am willing to believe what you say. I hope so too. "

He looked at her, and instead of waiting for his response, she lowered her head slightly. Her silhouette was silhouetted against the setting sun, and even the hint of worry on her face seemed to glow with a golden light.

Xue Yin Shu thought back to Tang Luo's expression before, and what he had wanted to say, but had not finished. He did not know if his resistance had been correct. But, he knew, he just wanted to stay a little longer in this knowing gentleness.

He reached out and stroked her forehead, as if trying to soothe that sadness.

She avoided it intentionally or not, and only said: "Right now, we need to quickly find out if Jian Xi Zhu has arrived at the Qingdu!"

"He's already here, and he's still alive."

Xue Yin Shu passed the letter he got from Tang Luo to her, and when she saw it, the last bit of hesitation disappeared.

In this letter, Xue Xiao Yi ordered Tang Luo to head to the Moon Slaughter Realm and asked Xue Yong Ze what he had learned from the retrograde migratory sea.

Just when he found out that Jian Xi Zhu was sent to Qingdu under the seal of a secret technique at the brink of death, Xue Yin Shu was the first one to think about it.

The reason the Arcanist s were hanging onto Jian Xi Zhu's life was because they still did not know the secret that he had obtained. If he had used the apotheosis back then, he could have ordered Tang Luo to find out what he knew at the Qingdu. Before that, no one knew whether or not he had sent the message through the apotheosis. So no matter what, he would not let Jian Xi Zhu die until Di Suo obtained what he wanted.

It was just that, once Tang Luo truly obtained precise information from Xue Yong Ze, his life would no longer be as valuable as it was before.

His death was simply the same as returning to the crescent stone being a fragment that belonged to him. Xue Yong Ze would take it back and help Tang Luo find its next master.

If he wanted to temporarily preserve Jian Xi Zhu's life, then he could not allow Tang Luo to come in contact with the Soul Inducting Incense. Or at least, not to spread the message. This was the reason why Xue Yin Shu imprisoned him.

This was only one possibility they had guessed at the beginning. Tang Zi Qi had even thought that their Your Majesty would sincerely want to keep Yue Xiao Zhe's life.

And this letter from the bird proved everything.

Tang Zi Qi crumpled the page into a ball and straightened his back: "As long as Big Brother Jane is still alive, I can't give up."

"You don't have to worry, since they successfully made it to Qingdu, Jian Xi Zhu won't die that easily. He survived after a bumpy journey, so naturally, the Arcanist in the Divine Wood Garden of Qingdu would do their best to maintain it for him. "

Although they said that, they didn't have much time left.
