Xunhuan immediately covered his ears with his hands as if on conditioned reflex.
Wu Ye, look at this vicious woman you brought for me, how much I have suffered for you!
The sound of the piano did not come out, but it was ridiculed by Ming Cui: "This jade piano is used to deal with bad guys. Since you are a friend of the Ice Spirit God, you can put it away for now."
so far so good.
Xunhuan just put down his hand and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his vision suddenly went dark.
"This is enough!" Ming Cui rushed over with a thick stick in his hand.
"Killing someone!" Xunhuan shouted, covering his head and running without stopping.
Ye Xingtong stroked the soft fur of the little fox, slumped his shoulders, and smiled silently.
Dongfang An also laughed loudly: "There will be a good show in the future."
The place where they came out of the Ghost Realm Gate was far away from the Southern Border Kingdom, but actually within the Qingyu Kingdom.
Ye Xingtong originally wanted to go back to the Southern Xinjiang Palace after saying goodbye to Dongfang An and Xunhuan, but they were worried about her being alone. Since Wu Ye had just taken the elixir and was inconvenient to travel long distances, she needed to find a quiet place to practice well. To restore his own spiritual power, Xunhuan needs to protect him and is not allowed to leave.
For this reason, Xunhuan proposed to let Dongfang An escort Ye Xingtong back to Southern Xinjiang.
Ming Cui stayed with Xun Huan for the time being in order to "revenge". She was famously said to be the protector of her husband, the God of Bingling, which made Xun Huan miserable every day.
At the same time, a major event also happened in the Southern Xinjiang Palace.
…
Although Meng Hui is in the palace, the practice habits she has developed every day make her go to the cold palace to practice for an hour every morning.
Some people said that they saw a ghost shadow wandering around in the cold palace.
It is clear that there are no tigers in the city, but the words of three people become tigers.
It was not a big deal, but it was reported from the cold palace, making the public panic.
Even the Queen's personal words and testimony could not extinguish the rumors in the palace.
One morning, when Meng came back to practice in a secluded place in a cold palace, he didn't expect that a palace maid was waiting nearby.
Seeing the way Meng Hui practiced, he covered his mouth in fear to prevent himself from making a sound.
When the palace maid stumbled out, she ran to a certain place.
"Oops!" The palace maid suddenly bumped into someone. She looked up hurriedly and saw Ye Xingyu. A flash of panic flashed in her eyes and she immediately knelt down: "Slave, please see the second prince. The second prince is a thousand years old!"
"No need to be polite! What happened to you in such a hurry?" Ye Xingyu asked doubtfully.
"Back to the second prince, slave, slave..." The palace maid burst into tears and shrank in fear: "When I passed the entrance of Leng Palace, I saw a ghost shadow wandering there. It was so scary. That ghost Ying still jumped up and down, which scared the slave to death."
Hearing this, Ye Xingyu's face suddenly darkened: "Don't talk nonsense. The palace is full of righteousness. How could there be something so evil? You go down first. Don't talk nonsense about this matter in the future. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, yes..." The palace maid kowtowed and stumbled away.
"Is there a ghost?" A sneer twitched at the corner of Ye Xingyu's mouth: "Except for some women in the cold palace who can't bear the loneliness and play tricks and cheat all day long, what good things can happen? But it's strange to say that so early in the morning Where did my dream go? I didn’t even say a word."
Ye Xingyu was thinking about this, Menghui happened to see a corner of Ye Xingyu's clothes on the way back.
She was so frightened that she immediately hid in the bushes.
He patted his chest in fear. Wasn't he practicing swordsmanship in the forest at this time before? Why did you come here? There was a cold palace not far away, so he wouldn't doubt her, would he
Then he shook his head.
So what if he just doubted her? She told him everything about her. He also knew that she was a cultivator of immortality. A cultivator of immortality must need to practice. The breath in the room was stuffy and the air was not smooth. There is also not enough spiritual energy, so it is really not a good place to practice.
If she told him the truth, he would understand her.
Carefully avoiding Ye Xingyu, he arrived at Ye Xingyu's dormitory. Not long after he went in to pack his things, Ye Xingyu came back.
"Second Prince, you are back." Meng Hui quickly put down the rag in his hand.
"Menghui, where have you been? I can't find you when I come back from sword practice." Ye Xingyu said and sat down.
Meng Hui looked confused: "Second Prince, Meng Hui didn't go anywhere. He just went to the toilet. What does the Second Prince want to do with Meng Hui?"
"Really?" Ye Xingyu picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. He said with a half-smile, "Tell me, what's wrong with your expression?"
"No, no," Meng Hui waved his hands quickly and clarified for himself: "I really didn't do anything."
"Didn't you do it?" Ye Xingyu put down the tea cup and looked back at the dream from top to bottom: "But I always feel that you are hiding something from me! I have known you for so long, don't I still understand you? In your heart I get very nervous when something happens and I can’t even speak clearly.”
Reaching out to caress his tender face, Ye Xingyu shook his head and said, "Everything you say is written on your face. You obviously can't lie, but you still say it so grandly, as if it's true."
Meng Hui's heart skipped a beat, he smiled dryly, approached Ye Xingyu, and simply told the truth.
"Actually, I... Meng Hui told the second prince earlier that our entire family is a cultivator of immortality and must not slack off every day. I have looked through the palace and found that only the cold palace is a good place to practice and gather spiritual energy. It’s relatively abundant, so I…”
Thinking of the recent rumored haunting incident, Ye Xingyu understood: "So you went there to practice secretly? Then you were accidentally discovered by some palace maids, and they all thought it was a ghost appearing in the cold palace, which made this series of ridiculous events happen. Something?"
Meng Hui nodded like a fool: "Second Prince, you are right, why are you so smart!"
Seeing Ye Xingyu's calm expression, Menghui lowered his head: "I am very careful every day, but today I was accidentally bumped into by a palace maid. It's all because Menghui was too careless. I don't know if I will do it in the future." The second prince is causing trouble.”
"Okay, okay." When he saw Meng Hui's pitiful appearance, even though he knew she was pretending, he couldn't bear it: "I don't want to blame you, but today I found a suspicious palace maid. I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when I came back and saw you looking restless, I got in touch with you. She was in a panic when walking, as if someone was chasing her. You are cultivators. Isn't the method very... strange?"
"We cultivators all practice meditation. Once we enter the state, we will... we will..." Meng Hui stumbled and said, "we will fly, because only in this way can we absorb the spiritual energy of the world and transform it into our own spiritual energy, and improve our own skills. , I’m not sure what the palace lady saw. I forgot the time while practicing, and as soon as dawn broke, the barrier I set up disappeared, and I didn’t even know what was happening around me.”
"How could this happen?" Ye Xingyu frowned and said, "It's too late to stop the palace maid now. She looks very strange. I don't know which palace the palace maid is from. If she tells you this matter, I’m afraid something bad will happen in the future!”
"Is it really that serious?" Meng Hui also frowned, looking panicked: "Then what should I do? Shouldn't I be sentenced to death? Oh, oh, I came back at dawn that day, but because of my infatuation, The spell wasted time. If I had known earlier, I would have set up a stronger barrier. I... I didn't expect that there were people peeking in the cold palace, Second Prince, what should we do?"
"Hey, that's right, what should we do?" Ye Xingyu sighed. With an idea, Ye Xingyu patted his head: "I have thought of a way. If someone really asks you, just tell the truth. A cultivator like you If your descendants are known to everyone in the world, they will definitely praise you and admire you. By then, you will be a god comparable to the national master."
Menghui shook his head with a sad face: "I have never thought about becoming a god like a national master. I have never thought about those things. When my brother was alive, I was very weak when I was a child, and I never thought about leaving the mountain. Even going down the mountain is a luxury. Besides, my identity is not allowed to be revealed. If some interested people find out, they will definitely hunt me down. My whole family is being hunted down by those thieves. Even my brother is now Life and death are unknown.”
"Don't worry, don't worry. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I will protect you."
Ye Xingyu yawned, patted Menghui on the shoulder, and said without any sincerity.
"The second prince is so kind." Meng Hui's nose became sour and tears fell from his eyes.
After coming down from the mountain, no one was as kind to her as Ye Xingyu, although sometimes he always relied on his status to make her do things for him.
Ever since he knew she was a woman, he seemed to treat her differently, and he no longer tortured her like before.
"Uh," Ye Xingyu was stunned, but he just said one sentence. That's it, there will be something better next, a cunning meaning flashed in his eyes.
He casually pressed Menghui's head on his shoulder, patted her shoulder and said vowedly: "Menghui, don't worry. From now on, if you suffer any grievance, just tell me and I will make the decision for you." Yes, I will never let you suffer any injustice."
"Really?"
"Of course it is true. It is truer than pearls and whiter than white jade. I always keep my word and am a man."
"Woo..." Menghui lay in Ye Xingyu's arms and cried: "Second Prince, you... you... why are you so nice to me?"
