"Alright, you can leave now. I still need to think about it carefully." After a long period of silence, the man shook his head tiredly, breaking the silence. However, he did not want to speak anymore.

He knew it was useless to say anything more, so he replied in a low voice, "Yes, your subordinate will take his leave." He silently got up and left through the door.

Ren Zong coughed a few times, then picked up the teacup by his side and took a sip. The tea had already turned cold. He frowned slightly and raised his voice, "Come …"

Before he could say the word "person", the door to the hall opened once more. The moment he left, he swiftly returned to the hall.

Ren Zong was startled as he asked, "What is it?"

With a solemn face, ShiYan replied, "Your Majesty, the young prince may have come."

A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Ren Sect disciples, "When?"

"This subordinate saw a few drops of blood that had not solidified yet on the stone steps outside the hall. The attendant on duty said that young prince had just left."

Ren Zong frowned, his head felt like it was bursting with pain, "Just left?"

"Someone has arrived outside the hall, and your subordinate has yet to sense anything. Your subordinate is guilty of a capital offense!" He gritted his teeth and knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Ren Zong closed his eyes for a very long time before he slowly said, "Go, send someone to the grass garden to see if Mo'er is there." If he's here, come back and tell me. I'll make a trip myself. "If you are not here, bring someone to the Qi King Manor to invite Fourth Brother over. Remember, secretly invite Fourth Brother over. Don't disturb Mo'er."

"Yes, your subordinate will go right away!"

"Young master, do you want me to call the imperial physician over? Master Song happens to be at the Palace today. " Ran Hao rolled up his handkerchief and placed it on Zhao Qingyan's forehead, his eyes showing a little worry.

Zhao Qingyan gave a few light coughs and her pale face blushed, "There's no need... It's just a heart attack, and even he can't cure it. "

Ran Hao was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "It's a long story, young master need not be so worried and tortured."

"The old days …" Zhao Qingyan repeated herself in a low voice. The green curtain in front of her shook a few times, and her eyes were covered with blood. He reached out and grabbed the hand that had just left his forehead, his voice trembling: "Hao!"

Ran Hao was caught off guard by his wrist. The sudden pain almost made him struggle out of Zhao Qingyan's grasp. After reacting, he managed to resist struggling to break free. Seeing the unusual expression on the young master's face, Ran Hao couldn't help but be shocked: "Young master? What's the matter with you? "

Her slender fingers slowly retracted and deeply felt the temperature of her palm. Only then did Zhao Qingyan relax a little. "It's nothing. Did I hurt you?"

"Not bad." Ran Hao said subconsciously, and then he saw that the young master's face didn't change as he looked at the place where both their hands were connected, he faintly felt that something was wrong, "Young Master, you …." Can you see anything? "

Zhao Qingyan did not answer. He only released his fingers and slowly moved his arm away. "Why didn't you shake off my hand?"

Ran Hao was confused: "Young Master?"

"It's not the first time I've hurt you." Zhao Qingyan raised a hand to cover her eyes, letting the blood color before her eyes become obscured by darkness. "One of these days, if I lose my consciousness again, I will kill you."

Ran Hao pursed his lips, "At that time, I will dodge."

The corner of Zhao Qingyan's mouth curled up, but his smile didn't reach his eyes as he said, "I'm afraid that when you want to hide, it will be too late."

After all, my internal energy is too injurious.

Ran Hao didn't say anything further, he just took out a handkerchief from the ice water and took off most of the water, changing the handkerchief on the young master's forehead, then quietly sat down.

"I think it's a breeze." After a long time, Zhao Qingyan sighed and said with a reminiscent tone, "If Qingfeng was here, I wouldn't have to suffer so much, right?"

Ran Hao Yun just said, "Young master, can you not bear it? Tell me about it."

Zhao Qingyan moved his hand away a little and glanced at him through the gap. He smiled. "If I let you suffer as much as I do now, I will blame myself more than I do now."

After a moment of silence, Ran Hao suggested: "If Young Master is upset about staying in the Bianliang area, you should go for a walk."

Zhao Qingyan wanted to laugh at first, but she started to cough. "At this time, every pair of eyes that is staring at me has locked me up in Liang City. Where do I go? "Moreover, the grand wedding half a month later …"

He stopped talking, and said after a while, "I am too sorry to her."

Ran Hao said: "She already has a home."

"What about you? In a few days, you will be the champion. Don't you want to get married? " Zhao Qingyan casually teased him as the corners of her eyes widened into a smile.

Ran Hao was a bit helpless: "Young master, why are you joking with me? Even if I had the intention, which girl would be willing? "

Zhao Qingyan chuckled, "Are you interested? Tell me, whose girl is it? "

Ran Hao was startled, then forced a smile: "No."

Zhao Qingyan wanted to tease him a little more, but she couldn't help but cough. After the cough subsided, her eyes revealed an unconcealable exhaustion, "If you ever meet someone you like, let me know. It's a good thing that you have a family."

When he heard that, his fingers slowly curled up, and water droplets started to flow down his sleeve. Only then did he come back to his senses, "I am not in a hurry, I will stay with young master until he is done with his family."

"Last." Zhao Qingyan's eyelashes trembled as she smiled. "That's true. It won't be long now anyway …"

Ran Hao realized he had misspoken. His face became a bit pale, and after a while he said: "There are still ten years left." My days with Young Master are only halfway gone. "

Zhao Qingyan tilted her head and looked at him for a long time. Her eyes were so dark that it was hard to tell what she was feeling. In the end, he only closed his eyes and softly said, "I'm a bit tired."

Ran Hao stood up and said in a low voice: "Rest, young master, I will go change for an ice handkerchief."

Zhao Qingyan curled up her body slightly and nodded. "If my fever doesn't subside after an hour, remember to wake me up."

Ran Hao asked: "Would you like to invite Master Song over?"

"We'll see." Zhao Qingyan answered without saying anything else.

"Who is it!" Lu Sobbing, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. She waved her palm, opened the carriage door, and jumped out. With a stern voice, she shouted, "Gong Tiexi!"

Gongzi had already stopped the carriage. His left hand held an arrow that had just been pulled out from behind him. His expression was grave as he said, "Young Master, those arrows …"

Lu Sobbing raised her hand and touched her waist, while the three short arrows flew out like a gust of wind, directly towards the pile of snow fifty steps away. Upon seeing the young master make his move, Gongzi Sou immediately understood what he meant. He rushed straight towards the pile of snow, the long whip around his waist bringing with it the sound of the wind as he attacked with his killing move.

"Why is Yun Mo willing to risk his life for you? Young master Qing Yi, it is indeed you." The snowfield exploded, and the soft snowball was able to easily block the three arrows that were violently approaching. The iron bow in his hand that was as tall as a person received the whip from Gong Sou. His black hair and white clothes contained a sneer in their eyes.

Seeing his prodigal son Wuya, Gongzi retracted his whip and quickly retreated. He looked towards Lu Sobbing, "Young Master, this …"

Lu Sobbing's narrowed eyes slowly recovered. With a slight smile, she cupped her hands and said, "Lord Jiang, long time no see."

Jiang Wuyan raised a hand to brush the snow off her shoulders. She didn't return the gesture and said, "It wasn't long. It was just a few days."

Lu Sobbing put down her hand, tilted her head and said to Gong Sou, "Go and see if the people following behind are still here."

Gongzi kept his whip and asked, "If they're still here, do you want to get rid of them?"

"There's no need for that." Lu Sobbing's smile remained on her face. She looked at Jiang Wuyan and said, "I don't think that Lord Jiang Zhen will deliberately stir up trouble, making things difficult for Yun Mo."

As expected, Jiang Wuyan didn't say anything and just said, "Even if they saw me, they would only think that I'm here to help Yun Mo."

Lu Sobbing shrugged, "Jiang Zhen is indeed a smart man, there is no need to say more."

Gongzi nodded, took a few steps back, and left quickly.

Weeping Lu turned around and looked at the quickly departing Gongzi. She couldn't help but let out a laugh. "He must have received some kindness from you in the Netherworld Valley to be so decisive in retreating."

Jiang Wuyan smiled faintly, "Do you still want him to just kill me?"

Lu Sobbing shook his head. "I dare not dream of that. Not to mention him, even if I included him, I probably still wouldn't be able to hurt you. "

Jiang Wuyan scoffed, "How can such a prideful young master be so humble?"

Lu Sobbing said, "Qingyi, you don't have to be modest. I do. And in front of you, saying a few humble words is not a disgrace. After all … You're seven years older than me. Seven years from now, I might be able to kill you with my martial arts skills.

Jiang Wuyan did not get angry. She looked at him for a long time and asked, "Is Yun Mo doing well?"

Lu Sobbing laughed, "Being tricked by you this time shouldn't be too bad."

Jiang Wuyan pursed her lips, neither denying nor defending herself, "Feng Yunxuan is well-informed, there must be news about him."

"No matter how well-informed you are, no one would be bored enough to ask about such ordinary news." "Everyone can see that Yun Mo is currently under house arrest at his wedding next month. Other than that, who would really do anything to him? "

Jiang Wuyan said, "Don't you want too much of this amnesty?"

Lu Sobbing stretched out her hand to pull the horse closer to her, and slowly walked forward. "If you can swallow the Dark Valley or the poison, you must. If we miss this opportunity, when will we be able to become stronger in the future? "

Jiang Wuyan waited for him to walk to her side before turning around to walk by his side. "Dashen and Gonggong travel side by side. Xuanyuan Yin is usually the only one in the Valley of the Underworld, aren't you afraid …"

Without waiting for him to finish, Lu Sobbing could not help but laugh out loud: "What are you afraid of? There are too many people who are willing to join the competition, so it would be hard for Xuanyuan to do so. "

Jiang Wuyan asked, "You're not worried about that?"

Lu Sobbing did not seem to care, "Aren't there you and Yun Kai?"

Jiang Wuyan was stunned for a moment before she asked in confusion, "We are outsiders after all, don't you worry?"

Lu Sobbing glanced at him, and smiled from the corner of her eyes: "Why are you worried? Out of respect for Yun Mo, you would naturally help him. Yun Kai, on account of tears and blood, would not be careless. With you here, there's no need to worry. "

Jiang Wuyan sighed lightly, "You can relax." The will of the people can change, so how can it be a favor? "

"There's no need to suspect, there's no doubt about it." Lu Sobbing shrugged and said casually, "I don't know how the human heart is, and I don't know how the favor is. I only know that Third Uncle's loyalty towards the Puppet Palace is greater than everything else, but your loyalty towards Yun Mo is only heavier than mine. "

Jiang Wuyan's gaze turned serious for a moment before she spoke up slowly, "Yun Kai is willing to give anything for the Puppet Palace, but you and I, what step can we possibly take for Yun Mo?"

Lu Sobbing stopped and looked at him, "If it isn't a disaster for my family, then I will do my best and die without fear."

Jiang Wuyan faced his gaze and did not let his guard down, "What if it is dangerous for your family? For example, tears of blood? "

Lu Sobbing laughed, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. "Ever since he was born, I have been by his side. Thirteen years ago, he and I had a blood feud and fled for our lives. Step by step, they supported each other as they walked down. If it wasn't for Yun Mo, how could I be here today? If it weren't for Yun Mo, where would his second brother be today? If Yun Mo needs it, why not give up our lives? It wasn't enough to repay him for saving his life back then. "

"He won't let you lose your lives for him." Jiang Wuyan's expression changed slightly, but she lowered her eyes and continued, "Yu, Yu Mu Palace. Xue Yi's life is even more important than your life."

Lu Sobbing answered with a "Yes", then smiled and said, "That is why I, like you, only have one life to give to him."

Jiang Wuyan didn't say anything else. She silently walked with him into the distance and said, "The only thing I can give him is his life."

Weeping Lu turned her head to look at him. Just when Jiang Wuyan thought that he had guessed what he was thinking, she heard him ask, "Helping the Valley of the Underworld to survive these past few days, can you help me with that?"

Jiang Wuyan curled her lips. "It depends on your mood."

Lu Sobbing simply assumed that he had agreed. "I'll have to trouble you for the next few months."

Jiang Wuyan looked at him silently for a moment before sighing, "Fine, I'll take it."

Lu Sobbing tsked, "Don't 'even' it."

Jiang Wuyan said indifferently, "I agree."

Inside the carriage, Ran Shisui lowered his eyes and sighed silently. However, there was a trace of a smile on his face.
