Early the next morning.
On the long street of Pingyang Town, there were people from the Su family on one side and many foundation-building monks on the other side, and they were about to leave.
In the middle of the long street, a man and a woman stood facing each other.
The man was dressed in a green shirt, clean and simple, with delicate features. The woman was wearing a floor-length light yellow skirt, with dark hair hanging down behind her like a waterfall. Her face was flawless, and her eyes were like water, with a touch of melancholy.
"Zimo, are you really not going to leave with me? Even if you can't join the Qingshuang Sect, with your ability, you can do a lot in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Ji Yaoxue asked softly.
"No."
Su Zi smiled and said, "I'm used to being casual and can't stand the rules of the dynasty."
"Zimo, do you intend to go to Piaomiao Peak?" Ji Yaoxue was smart and had vaguely sensed that Su Zimo seemed to be deliberately staying away from her.
"Huh?" A trace of surprise flashed in Su Zimo's eyes, but he did not respond.
Ji Yaoxue said: "It is much more difficult to worship Piaomiao Peak than the other four major sects. The spiritual root test is just one of them, and there are other levels behind it. I heard that many high-level Qi practitioners are unable to worship Piaomiao Peak. you… "
Seeing Ji Yaoxue's concerned eyes, Su Zimo sighed inwardly.
He could naturally tell that Ji Yaoxue was sincerely good to him, perhaps because she wanted to repay her kindness, or for other reasons.
But no matter what, he couldn't leave with Ji Yaoxue.
Although Dai Xu hid it well, he still didn't hide Su Zimo's spiritual sense.
This person had murderous intent on him!
It would be okay if this murderous intention came from Dai Xu himself, but if it was the intention of the Emperor of Zhou, it would be devastating to Su Zimo and the Su family.
The emperor's edict may appear to be a reward, but behind it may be a warning.
The Emperor of Zhou could make Su Hong the king, and he could also easily make the Su family disappear.
The power of God is mighty and the mind of God is unpredictable.
Dieyue seemingly ruthlessly threw Su Zimo in the Canglang Mountains, just to tell him a truth, whether it is the world of mortals or the world of cultivation, there is no difference from the Canglang Mountains, the law of survival is the law of the jungle!
Only if you can survive in the Canglang Mountains will you be qualified to enter the world of cultivation!
If you are not strong enough, you can only be passive everywhere, allowing yourself to be manipulated and powerless.
"What are Zimo's plans for the future?" Ji Yaoxue asked again.
Su Zimo said: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Maybe you will go out for a walk."
After a pause, Su Zimo bowed slightly to Ji Yaoxue, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Ji, please take care of yourself."
Hearing the words 'Miss Ji', Ji Yaoxue's eyes dimmed, she was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Mr. Su, please take care of yourself."
Ji Yaoxue boarded the chariot, and the bead curtain fell, as if the two people's worlds were separated, making it difficult to see each other again.
Su Xiaoning sat in the chariot, looking outside, with tears streaming down her face. Ji Yaoxue sighed softly, hugged Su Xiaoning in her arms, and said softly: "Let's go."
The chariot soared into the sky, and more than a thousand Foundation-Building monks walked with swords, guarding the chariot, and disappeared from the sky above Pingyang Town in the blink of an eye.
Behind the team, a foundation-building monk came to Dai Xu and whispered: "Commander Dai, do you want to kill that Su Zimo?"
"No need, this person is quite sensible and doesn't push himself too far."
Dai Xu sneered: "He's just a mortal, a frog in the well. Let him fend for himself."
Inside the chariot.
Su Xiaoning seemed to be too sad, and fell into Ji Yaoxue's arms, closing her eyes and falling asleep, with tears still wet at the corners of her eyes.
Ji Yaoxue looked at the bead curtain in front of her infatuatedly, her eyes were dim, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows, which made people feel distressed.
"Princess, don't be sad for that person, it's not worth it." Dai Xu whispered outside the chariot.
Ji Yaoxue seemed as if she hadn't heard anything.
Dai Xu added: "Princess, one of you is a phoenix in the sky, and the other is an ant on the ground. He is not worthy of you."
Ji Yaoxue frowned, looked at Su Xiaoning who was still sleeping in her arms, then turned her head and said softly: "He is an ant on the ground, who are you? You don't have to worry about my affairs, you are not qualified!"
Ji Yaoxue's tone was stern, but her voice was kept very low for fear of waking Su Xiaoning.
"Princess, don't blame me for talking too much. You will become a golden elixir in the future and have a lifespan of 500 years. But he is just a mortal and his lifespan is only more than a hundred years. It is simply unrealistic to choose him as a Taoist companion." Dai Xu added.
Ji Yaoxue's face darkened, and she suddenly asked: "Did your father say anything to you?"
"No, no." Dai Xu was stunned for a moment and immediately denied it.
Ji Yaoxue secretly clenched her fists and said in a cold voice: "Dai Xu, I'm warning you, don't touch Su Zimo, and don't touch anyone from the Su family!"
Dai Xu had a cold face and said nothing.
After a while, Ji Yaoxue sighed softly and said sadly: "A hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid he and I will never have the chance to see each other again."
Hearing these words, Dai Xu breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.
At this time, Ji Yaoxue has realized that if she gets too close to Su Zimo, what will happen to Su Zimo is not opportunity, but destruction.
Ji Yaoxue was so sad that she didn't notice that Su Xiaoning's eyelashes trembled as she was lying in her arms, but she didn't open her eyes.
…
Pingyang Town.
Su Hong and others will also return to the royal city with the Yan army.
"Zimo, how about you come with me to stay in the royal city for a while?"
Su Hong went to Wangcheng and would not return to Pingyang Town in a short time. He was worried about leaving Su Zimo alone.
"Brother, you go ahead. I'll stay in Pingyang Town for a while, and then I'll go out and explore. Don't worry about me." Su Zimo said.
Su Hong frowned: "The Su Mansion is empty, and there are no acquaintances in Pingyang Town. You are alone..."
"I'm not alone." Su Zimo smiled.
"Huh?" Su Hong looked surprised.
Su Zimo didn't explain. He punched Su Hong's chest and said with a smile: "Go to the Royal City. Don't worry about me. If there is a chance, I will go to the Royal City to see you."
"Okay, let's go."
Su Hong got on his horse, looked at Su Zimo, nodded, and left with everyone in the Su family under the protection of the Yan army.
The cold wind blew, and in the wind and snow, Su Zimo walked on the empty long street, his back looking a little lonely.
Xiao Ning left, Su Hong left.
In one day, it seemed like everyone had left him.
Su Zimo came to his mansion. The moment he opened the door, the wind and snow seemed to have stopped, and a faint warmth hit his face.
Under the peach tree, there seemed to be a woman wearing a blood-colored robe standing there, looking back and smiling, as if it were an illusion.
Su Zimo is not alone, nor does he feel lonely.
When he came back here, it was as if Dieyue was by his side, watching him practice as before, kicking him and hitting him a few times.
Su Zimo smiled and closed the door.
Su Zimo had no intention of leaving Pingyang Town immediately.
He is waiting.
Wait for someone.
Just like that night a year and a half ago...
