Among the people who went to search was Huo Xiu's confidant. He quietly shook his head to Huo Xiu, indicating that he had indeed not found the first year in Xi Ning.
Since he didn't come back on the first day of the new year, Huo Xiu immediately got up: "Go to the surrounding palaces again to find this demon clan."
Before he left, he took a deep look at Xi Ning, his eyes cold: "I knew that, I shouldn't have let His Highness Seven take away those monsters."
Huo Xiu even dared to mention this, Xi Ning mocked: "General Huo reminded me, as the general meant, isn't it that the two demons who trespassed in the fairy palace came from you..."
"His Royal Highness, please be careful," Huo Xiu interrupted him, "I will truthfully report this matter to the Immortal Emperor, and I will not miss any place I should find."
After he finished speaking, he took someone to leave, until the hall was completely quiet, Xi Ning leaned back in the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Uncle Rong heard that Huo Xiu meant that the first day of the junior high school was the injured and fleeing demons, and he had indeed not seen the first day of the junior high school today, he hesitated to say to Xi Ning: "His Royal Highness, he was on the first day of the new year..."
Xi Ning brought it back on the first day of the junior high, and stayed with him to serve him. If it were him, Xi Ning would not have noticed the slightest strangeness, but Uncle Rong grew up watching Xi Ning grow up, and he was naturally right in his heart. Ning is the most loyal.
"It's okay," Xi Ning stood up holding the armrest, and thought for a while, "Go and find out what happened last night."
Uncle Rong stopped talking, and left the hall after answering.
Xi Ning walked to the bedroom alone, still unable to stop worrying, he asked the system: "Can you find out the current situation on the first day of the junior year?"
He was injured on the first day of the junior high school. I don’t know if the severity is serious. Where is he now? If he has been out of the fairy palace, can he return to the Demon Realm smoothly? Xi Ning was very scared when he thought of this. Do such a risky thing.
The system said it was powerless: "I checked the name of the first day of the junior high school long ago, but he never appeared in the original book. Without accurate information, it is difficult for me to guess his state and location."
They didn't leave any tools to spread the letter, only Xi Ning was wearing the magical instrument given to him by the first day of the year. He turned out from his collar and pinched it in his palm, and sat blankly in front of the collapse.
Now, Xi Ning can only wait. If nothing happens on the first day of the first year, he will definitely come back.
Xi Ning endured the anxiety in her heart and comforted herself again. Uncle Rong, who was investigating outside, came back soon.
"His Royal Highness, there is not much news that I can ask. I only know that at the beginning, the figure of the Demon Race was found not far from the West Hall." Uncle Rong stood aside, his voice soft and low, "I still asked. After the appearance of the corpse of the Demon Race, it is a pity that his face has been scratched a few times and his soul has disappeared. There is no way to know who he is."
This must have been done by Huo Xiu, in order to prevent people from discovering that it was the people around him who were dead.
I can't find the iron proof for the time being, but I can rush to spread some news in front of Huo Xiu, at least make the Emperor Xian suspicious.
So Xi Ning arranged for Uncle Rong: "You sent the news, saying that someone seemed to see the demon fighting in Huo Xiu Hall at night, and there was one who looked a lot like the person Huo Xiu had been carrying around."
Uncle Rong understood what Xi Ning meant, and immediately went out of the bedroom to prepare.
When the rumors came out, Huo Xiu was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him for a while.
And Han Ji is dead, but I don't know if the Sky Witch Orb was found in the first day of the new year. If the system's speculation is correct, then everything is now developing in a good direction.
But Xi Ning was still a little unsure, and his illness felt particularly obvious at this time, but Xi Ning could only endure it alone when he was absent on the first day of the new year.
He took out the ointment and applied the medicine to the dragon's horn, rubbing his sour eyes, and took a nap on the couch.
Xi Ning hadn't slept all the time last night, and she couldn't sleep well at this time. She was awakened several times in the middle of the journey, feeling uncomfortable all over her body.
When he was half-dreaming and half-awake, he heard someone knocking on the door. Xi Ning thought in a daze that he was back on the first day of the new year.
Pushing the door came in, but another maidservant approached with a bowl of tranquilizing soup: "Your Royal Highness, Uncle Rong said that I will serve you in the future."
Xi Ning looked at her for a while before remembering that this was also the little demon he had brought back from Huo Xiu. He held his head: "Let it go, you go out first."
The maidservant looked towards Xi Ning with peachy eyes, and whispered in a low voice: "Your Highness has a headache? Why not let the maidservant press you..."
This was also ordered by Uncle Rong. Xi Ning's dragon horns hadn't grown up yet, and it must have been uncomfortable lately. He didn't see him on the first day of the new year, so he arranged for another person to serve Xi Ning.
"No," Xi Ning said stiffly, and felt angry at her, took the tranquilizer soup and drank it in one gulp, "I don't need to serve."
The maid bit her lower lip, her eyes seemed unwilling, but she still picked up the tableware and left.
Xi Ning didn't want to touch anyone except the first grade. He let the system teach him a few simple spells and cast a formation on the door of the bedroom to prevent anyone from coming in before going back to sleep.
Uncle Rong was very efficient, and he added a lot of fuel and jealousy. Within a few days, it spread everywhere in the fairy palace. It was Huo Xiu who brought two demons in privately, and there was a dispute for some reason. One death and one injury.
Huo Xiu was so angry that everyone was strictly forbidden to talk nonsense, but he couldn't manage other people's private conversations, and Han Ji, who was inseparable beside him, was indeed missing.
Because of this, Xi Ning also received a reward of mission value.
[The plot line is slightly shifted, but the probability of character collapse is reduced by 30%, and the reward task value is 5 points. ]
"Huo Xiu was invited by the Immortal Emperor to have tea," the system was also very happy, "see if he dares to be so arrogant."
Xi Ning didn't rest assured, it was just a few rumors. There were no conclusive facts. The immortal emperor was at most suspicious of him, and he would not do anything to him, so he still had to be careful.
And Huo Xiu probably guessed that he did it.
It didn't take long before Huo Xiu visited again in person.
This time he brought a box of rare and exotic treasures, saying that he wanted to apologize to Xi Ning.
Xi Ning didn’t want to see him, so he could just ask Uncle Rong to collect the things, but Uncle Rong turned back soon, wondering: "His Royal Highness, General Huo said he wants to see you in person, and he needs to talk to you about the marriage of the demon race. Negotiate."
This matter was still related to his mission, so Xi Ning had to go to the front hall to see him in person.
Seeing Xi Ning's willingness to come out, Huo Xiu changed his old attitude first, and was very eager to Xi Ning: "His Royal Highness, it was my fault last time. These are all for you to apologize."
He brought some impractical but good-looking things, such as the shark pearls in the East China Sea and the golden grasses in the Xisha desert. Xi Ning only took a look and then looked away: "General Huo doesn't need to be, just tell me if you have anything. "
Huo Xiu suppressed his expression and glanced at Uncle Rong on the side.
After a few breaths, Xi Ning raised his hand to let Uncle Rong go out first.
Huo Xiu just sat on the chair and spoke leisurely: "This time is too busy to be able to care about your Highness. I don't know what you said to your Highness that day... How did your Highness think about it?"
The task reminder is still on the panel. If Xi Ning commits himself to him in order not to marry the demon race, points will be deducted on the spot. Xi Ning bluntly said: "You are dreaming."
As for the marriage of the demon race, he would just think of a way at that time, in short, it would never be possible to agree to Huo Xiu.
Huo Xiu seemed to have expected Xi Ning's reaction, and smiled weirdly: "I know your highness's temperament, maybe you have to suffer a little bit to be better."
His words made Xi Ning very uncomfortable, and Xi Ning got up and walked outside the hall, not wanting to look at him again.
However, Xi Ning had not been able to take a few steps, and the system reminded: "Be careful, host!"
He dodged subconsciously, but he still felt a pain in his arm, something pierced into his skin, and his body became soft and almost unable to stand.
Huo Xiu slowly approached, raising his hand to put a barrier in the hall to isolate all the voices.
After Han Ji died, he was busy taking care of the funeral and dealing with the emperor. When he had dealt with everything, he naturally guessed that Xi Ning had released the rumors behind his back. Huo Xiu wanted to get Xi Ning, and now he wants to break this one directly. The cat's limbs made him limp to beg for mercy.
Originally he wanted to use the Sky Witch Orb in his hand, but Han Ji didn't tell him the real usage of the Sky Witch Orb before he died, but before that, Han Ji gave him a silver needle for him to use against Xi Ning. .
This silver needle is a poisoned magical weapon, a cultivation base like Xi Ning's, as long as it is touched, it will lose all mana for a short time, and it will produce some reactions that satisfy him.
Huo Xiu can't wait to see the desperate look on Xi Ning's face. He knows that Xi Ning will probably not agree to him today, so he just uses force. When everything happens, he threatens Xi Ning not to speak out. For this reason, he I also prepared artifacts that can engrave images...
He approached to grab Xi Ning's hand, and before he could touch him, the magic weapon that Xi Ning was wearing in front of him suddenly shone brightly.
Huo Xiu didn't take precautions for a while, the magic energy in the magic weapon directly knocked him out, knocking a crack in the stone wall in the hall, and the barrier also dissipated.
The system is processing the poison in Xi Ning's body: "I can't remove the toxin in the host, but I can temporarily suppress it, and the host will leave here quickly."
Xi Ning soon felt his physical strength recovered. Uncle Rong also heard the movement at this time, and saw the scene in front of him and said in shock: "His Royal Highness, are you okay?"
"I'm okay," Xi Ning said coldly, "I immediately report to Emperor Xian, Huo Xiu took the opportunity to attack me with bad intentions."
Huo Xiu got up in embarrassment, with a murderous heart in his eyes, and at this time more servants in the hall rushed over, he patted his sleeves: "It's all a misunderstanding, Huo is just here to apologize."
Xi Ning looks very normal. Could it be that he doesn't have a silver needle? However, he has more excuses in this way, Huo Xiu generally joked: "His Royal Highness is not standing here properly? Huo should be the one who was injured."
Xi Ning clutched her arm and issued an order to dismiss the guest: "Get out."
Huo Xiu almost couldn't hold his face, he stared at everyone's sight and bowed, and left the front hall.
Uncle Rong helped Xi Ning back to the bedroom: "His Royal Highness, is it okay?"
"Not so good," Xi Ning's face was very bad, "Is there anyone in the palace who knows how to heal? Or call one from the fairy palace."
Although the system temporarily suppressed the toxin, it was still in Xi Ning's body, and I don't know when it will relapse again.
He underestimated the shamelessness of Huo Xiu. He had known that when Huo Xiu came today, he should just blast him away.
At this time, there was also a task value reminder. It was he who prevented Huo Xiu from attacking himself and obtained the reward.
[The plot line is slightly shifted, but the probability of character collapse is reduced by 20%, and the reward task value is 2 points. ]
Xi Ning is not in the mood to look at these things now, he turns off the panel and waits for the doctor to come over in the bedroom.
Uncle Rong quickly invited an immortal master who was proficient in medicine in the immortal palace. After a brief salute, he checked Xi Ning's body.
Finally the fairy said: "His Royal Highness's body is not abnormal."
"how come?"
Xi Ning frowned. He was indeed successfully attacked by Huo Xiu just now, but now there are no wounds or marks on his arm, and no other abnormalities can be found. Either the poison used by Huo Xiu is very secretive, or it is because the system has suppressed it. I can't find it temporarily.
In desperation, he had to ask Uncle Rong to send the immortal teacher back, and let the system check him again.
"Huo Xiu was indeed prepared. It is estimated that the host will try to force it out of the body only when the virus re-emerges." The system did not dare to be sloppy and locked the collected toxins in its own database. "Don't worry about the host. I can last at least half a month."
Xi Ning felt relieved after hearing the words, and rested in the bedroom alone.
Although he still couldn't get Huo Xiu's substantive handle this time, he still let Uncle Rong spread the news, saying that Huo Xiu wanted to do something wrong with him. If he hadn't been prepared for it, he might have succeeded. .
Xi Ning also let people guard the palace tightly, preventing Huo Xiu from taking a half step.
Later, Huo Xiu seemed to be found by the Immortal Emperor again, so that he was completely honest for a while, and Xi Ning also received the reward of mission value again.
[The plot line is slightly shifted, but the probability of character collapse is reduced by 30%, and the reward task value is 5 points. ]
During this period of time, there has been a lot of progress in the task, but Xi Ning is not at all happy. His symptoms have always been there, and he has been constantly showing up from time to time, strong and weak, and he is very uncomfortable without the first day of the year.
Xi Ning didn't dare to think too much. He was afraid that something might happen on the first day of the first year, but the system couldn't find any recent status on the first day of the first year.
Moreover, Huo Xiu was settled down, Xi Ning still had the marriage unresolved.
After a while, Xi Ning finally heard some news about the Demon Realm, but it was a Demon Lord who wanted to visit.
Xi Ning remembered that he was a demon king on the first day of the junior high school? Then will he come with Demon Venerable? He asked the message of Uncle Rong, the demon lord: "The demon lord of the devil world, what is he doing in the immortal palace?"
Uncle Rong shook his head: "I only heard that this demon is called Situ Zhao, and he is the most mysterious among the demon. His whereabouts are erratic. I don't even know the purpose of his coming this time. Maybe... it's because there was a demon in the fairy palace last time. The clan broke in?"
Xi Ning shook his head and nodded again: "I see, you go first."
Mostly because of this, and maybe he hasn't found the Sky Witch Orb on the first day of the new year. If he goes back, will he be punished? Xi Ning began to worry again.
By the way, the system helped Xi Ning to popularize the ranks of the Demon Realm: "The higher the level of the Demon Realm, the more clear it is. There are twelve Demon Lords in the middle of the Demon Realm, and the Demon Lord, Demon Lord, and Demon King..."
The series of grades sounded so loud that Xi Ning stopped him and said, "Don't talk about it, I'm not interested."
He just wanted to know if he had come together on the first day of the first year. The system stopped talking and said after a while: "If the first day of the first day comes, he will definitely come to the host. The host just needs to wait. Now Huo Xiu is still eyeing. , The host had better not go out."
Xi Ning silently opened the pill box and kneaded the horns for himself. His dragon horns grew a little more, and the tops had begun to diverge, and the shape of dragon horns had begun to appear. It didn't hurt much at this stage.
I just want to touch him on the first day of the junior high school...
Xi Ning stayed behind closed doors in the hall. He hadn't been able to wait until the first day of the new year to find him, but first waited for the emperor's dictum.
Due to the visit of Demon Lord, another banquet was going to be tomorrow night, and the emperor asked Xi Ning to attend.
When the demon race came last time, the immortal emperor had never said this. It seems that the immortal emperor... is not so fond of the marriage of demon races.
Hope was rekindled in Xi Ning's heart. When he went to the banquet tomorrow night, he could not only see if he had come on the first day of the new year, but maybe also find a chance to talk to the Emperor Xian about the marriage.
He has been here for so long and hasn't seen the father of this body. Anyway, he is related by blood, so he should try it anyway.
Uncle Rong prepared clothes for the banquet for Xi Ning, and when it was almost the next night, he asked Xi Ning to take a maid with him.
He remembered the last banquet. Xi Ning went alone and came back soon. He also poured a sleeve of wine. It is always bad that no one is waiting around. Uncle Rong himself wanted to stay in the temple, so he arranged for another handmaid. .
Xi Ning saw that it was the little demon who had served himself Soothing Soup before.
"Chuntao's cultivation level is not low. I was accidentally caught by Huo Xiu before to protect my sister," Uncle Rong persuaded, "His Royal Highness went out and took her with her. I can help you deal with any situation."
Xi Ning reluctantly agreed, and took Chuntao out of the palace.
The banquet was still held in the previous hall, and even the seat prepared for Xi Ning was the same as last time. He bowed his head and sat down quietly, pretending that he couldn't see the eyes of Huo Xiu on the opposite side.
In front of so many people, Huo Xiu didn't dare to do anything, and after a few glances, he talked with the people beside him.
The hall was almost sitting, and Xian'e was singing softly from the side, and halfway through the singing, the maid waiting outside the hall Qi Qi half kneeled and saluted: "Welcome to the emperor, and to the devil."
Xi Ning also followed the people in the hall to stand up and salute. He lowered his head slightly, and could only see the dresses of the two approaching the hall. The one in white clothes in front should be the Immortal Emperor, and the black clothes in the back must be Demon Zun.
Immortal Emperor walked in front, and he personally raised his hand to indicate the direction of the Demon Venerable's seat, and smiled as he spoke: "If you don't entertain you well, please don't blame the Demon Venerable."
The maid dedicated to serving hurriedly led the Demon Venerable into her seat. Xi Ning heard the voice of the Demon Venerable for the first time: "I should thank the Immortal Emperor for his hospitality."
Xi Ningru was struck by lightning and looked up. With this familiar voice and profile, who else could he be if he wasn't in the first year of junior high school
Situ Zhao's face was cold, and he sat down diagonally across from Xi Ning following the guidance of the maidservant.
The rest of the people in the hall also returned to their seats one after another, Xi Ning turned to look at Huo Xiu, and he couldn't believe it when he saw him staring at Situ Zhao.
Only the system was very excited: "Wow, it turned out to be the Demon Lord in the first grade?"
Xi Ning is in a complicated mood. He doesn't believe that there will be two people who look exactly the same in this world. It seems that he didn't tell the truth to him before the first year of the junior high school.
Or he should be called Situ Zhao now.
He saw Situ Zhao several times, and the other party seemed to have finally noticed, and turned his head to look at him.
Xi Ning's heart beat faster and her eyelashes quivered.
Situ Zhao looked indifferent, and quickly moved away, as if he didn't know Xi Ning at all.
