Chapter 2024 Night Talk

Lanchi Garden, Danfeng Palace.

It had been a while since Li Xiangge came back from the banquet.

But her thoughts remained in Qingfengtang, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

In this way, she couldn't rest, let alone concentrate on her practice.

So she came to the terrace behind Danfeng Palace, silently staring at the lake in a daze.

"Tick!"

A round drop of water fell into the water of Lanchi Lake.

"Tick!"

Another drop.

It's not raining.

Li Xiangge realized that these were his own tears.

Even she didn't know why she burst into tears, and her heart was filled with an indescribable complex feeling, which made her feel a throbbing pain in her heart.

This kind of pain seems to have a kind of magical power, making the tears fall like a broken pearl necklace, dripping down, across her slightly round cheeks, and falling into the lake.

By the lake at night, the woman wept silently.

...

Across the Lanchi lake, on the opposite lakeside tower, Xu Nian came out with a Dao sword in his arms.

Her gaze was full of calm as usual, but under the cover of the night, she could faintly see some suppressed grief.

"Senior Ye Tian, ​​where are you now..." She sighed faintly.

At this time, she saw Li Xiangge sitting by the lake opposite him from a distance.

With her eyesight, she could easily see that Li Xiangge was crying right now.

Looking at the crying woman, Xu Nian resonated with the sadness that Xu Nian had been hiding in his heart and did not want to show it.

Coupled with knowing what happened to the other party, Xu Nian felt that he and the other party were in the same sympathy.

Her figure flew up, flitting across the night sky, and came to Li Xiangge.

"What's wrong with you, do you need help?" Xu Nian asked.

Li Xiangge and Xu Nian's cultivation bases were far from each other, coupled with the violent ups and downs in his heart at this time, he didn't notice Xu Nian's approach at the first time.

Suddenly realizing the latter's question, she froze for a moment, hastily wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, stood up and saluted Xu Nian.

Xu Nian returned the salute and repeated her question again.

"I can help you," Xu Nian added.

"I don't know what's wrong," Li Xiangge said in a daze with reddened eyes, "It's just a pain in my heart, an inexplicable pain, but it's not because of any injury."

"That seems to be a mental illness." Xu Nian pondered for a moment, then asked, "What have you been thinking about lately?"

"Is it because of... the marriage?" Xu Nian hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.

Of course, Li Xiangge knew that she was in the same situation as the fairy Xu Nian, who was the most gifted in cultivation in the surrounding countries. From the first time she saw it last night, she had a kind of kinship with Xu Nian.

It's just that during the banquet tonight, her thoughts were all on Ye Tian, ​​and Xu Nian had always been attracted by the title of disciple of the temple, so there was very little communication between the two.

"There is a part...but it doesn't seem to be the main reason." Because of the intimacy of the common situation, coupled with admiration for Xu Nian's talent and level of cultivation, Li Xiangge inexplicably believed in Xu Nian, and said while thinking seriously .

"The main reason?"

"Because of a person, I really want to face him, but I don't dare to face him. At the same time, the rationality in my heart is also persuading me not to face him." Li Xiangge said seriously, but these words hooked him again. It touched her heartstrings, a familiar feeling of heartache came, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"You fell in love with someone you shouldn't like!" Xu Nian said immediately.

"What?" Li Xiangge was taken aback for a moment.

Once the word like these two words appeared, it quickly expanded in her heart like a fireball, making Li Xiangge no longer care about other things flawlessly. He looked at Xu Nian with puzzled eyes, and even tears hung on his eyes. The corners of the eyes seem to have forgotten to shed.

"I think I've said it directly enough," Xu Nian looked at Li Xiangge with deep sympathy in his eyes.

She felt more and more that her situation and that of Li Xiangge were so similar.

"How...how could it be that I like him?" Li Xiangge gritted his teeth tightly, the fireball in his heart seemed to be beating crazily, and the hot temperature that came out quickly spread throughout his body: "How could I like him!"

"Can you tell me, how did you know each other?" Xu Nian looked at Li Xiangge seriously, with sympathetic eyes, warm and soft like a lake in early summer.

It's very strange, until now, Li Xiangge hasn't said who that person is, but she only has that person in her mind.

So she began to tell a series of experiences from the beginning of their acquaintance.

"At that time, he was just a little healer who was picked up halfway by the guide in the team..."

Thinking of the fact that the former temple disciple was a little unknown doctor under his own hands and was looked down upon by everyone, Li Xiangge unconsciously put on a smile on his face, rippling beautifully in his clear pupils, and still The round teardrops hanging from the corners of his eyes seemed to be infected by this smile and became more crystal clear.

Seeing this, Xu Nian couldn't help but smiled and shook his head slightly.

In this way, Li Xiangge began to tell slowly, saying that in the face of everyone's doubts, that guy was full of boundless self-confidence.

It was said that she, Bai Yu and Li Tongling finally believed in that person, but he refused instead.

How angry she was when the man refused her reward. And it wasn't just once or twice, it made her angry almost every day at the beginning.

Said that she began to find that the other party was getting more and more powerful.

Of course, Li Xiangge also clearly remembered what Ye Tian asked her to keep secret, she did it, even in this situation, she didn't reveal it.

After half payment, Li Xiangge finally finished speaking.

She kept talking until this evening.

"It turns out that you were talking about Senior Brother Mu Yan," Xu Nian shook his head, and said with emotion: "The companion who used to get along day and night has suddenly turned into a high-ranking disciple of the temple, no wonder you think so..."

Unlike Xu Nian who was muttering to himself, Li Xiangge suddenly fell silent after saying this.

At first, when Xu Nian said that he liked these two words, Li Xiangge's heart was extremely complicated, and it became a mess.

Denial is just a subconscious instinct.

But then Xu Nian asked her to tell the story of what they had experienced. In the process of talking about those past events, Li Xiangge had already gone through the process of repeatedly asking himself if he liked it.

After he finished speaking thoroughly and seemed to calm down for a while, Li Xiangge asked himself again.

She gave the answer in her heart without hesitation.

Yes, she likes it.

She raised her head and looked at Xu Nian seriously.

"Sister Xu Nian, thank you, I think I have understood," Li Xiangge said word by word.

"It's good if you understand," Xu Nian nodded gently.

"Then, don't worry about everything, since I like him, I can't marry Yu Wenye!" Li Xiangge said firmly.

"This..." Xu Nian didn't know what to say, she was also a person who was ups and downs in this muddy water, so naturally she couldn't give Li Xiangge proper advice and ideas on this matter.

However, from Li Xiangge's gaze, Xu Nian could also tell that the other party obviously didn't need his advice right now.

Of course, Xu Nian thought about it again. Although she and Li Xiangge seemed to be in the same situation, strictly speaking, they were actually somewhat different.

In this marriage incident, she could not escape at all.

But Li Xiangge is different.

There are still many princesses in Chen Guo. If Li Xiangge really doesn't want to marry, and Chen Guoguo agrees, maybe there is still room for substitutions.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Xu Nian asked.

"I'm going to find my brother and ask him for help. I want to cancel my engagement with Yu Wenye!" Li Xiangge said seriously.

"I wish you success!" Xu Nian sent his sincere wishes.

"Hmm!" Li Xiangge nodded with a determined smile on his face, bowed solemnly to Xu Nian, then turned and ran into Danfeng Palace.

"I also wish sister Xu Nian that you can find someone you like!"

Li Xiangge disappeared after leaving such a sentence.

"Me?" Xu Nian smiled and shook his head.

"I...have it too," Xu Nian turned around slightly, looked at the brilliant night sky of the Milky Way, and sighed, "He is also a member of the Holy Church, but he is too dazzling, just like a star that can't be seen. "

Xu Nian suddenly envied Li Xiangge a little bit.

Unlike Li Xiangge, she understood her intentions from the very beginning.

But she is more aware of the gap between the two.

So she has been taking the initiative to deliberately hide these thoughts in her heart silently, even if her most familiar senior sister Qi Li sees it, she is unwilling to admit it.

Although Li Xiangge had been kept in the dark, the moment she thought it through, she immediately took action and decided to call off the engagement desperately and tell others about it.

Xu Nian thought about these things, and finally smiled wistfully.

Although there are some things that I know how to do and want to do, sometimes I just can't do it.

If she wanted to make her as bold and active as Li Xiangge, she couldn't do it.

She shook her head lightly, her figure fluttered up, her elegant dress fluttered, and she flew towards the palace where she lived.

...

...

the next day.

There are still four days left before the scheduled wedding of Xu Nian and Li Chengdao, Li Xiangge and Yu Wenye.

At about noon, Li Chengdao came to the courtyard where Bai Xingya of the Bai family lived.

Bai Xingya was not there, and he had been busy with the aftermath of the banquet since last night, but as Li Chengdao, it was very easy to come in.

And what he was looking for was Ye Tian.

After entering the room and taking a seat, Li Chengdao took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Ye Tian.

"This is all the information about Bai Zongyi that I, and even the whole royal family of the Chen Kingdom, know about Bai Zongyi." Li Chengdao said.

Ye Tian took it, extended his consciousness into it, and checked it.

The information Li Chengdao gave is indeed very detailed, covering almost everything that Bai Zongyi has experienced from his birth to the present.

Especially in the past few days, every day from morning to night, everything that they knew Bai Zongyi had done was also recorded in it.

Of course, there are a lot of gaps in it.

Those are things that even the royal family of the Chen Kingdom doesn't know about.

But this is enough for Ye Tian.

What he mainly wanted to know was Bai Zongyi's strength and habits, which had been fully covered in this information.

"The key to the Hunyuan lock should actually be placed in the ancestral hall of the Bai family. It's just that Bai Zongyi basically spends his time in the ancestral hall to clean up, so there is no difference between the key and Bai Zongyi's body." Li Chengdao said.

"This is good news, that is to say, as long as Bai Zongyi is away, enter the ancestral hall and steal the key." Ye Tian said in a deep voice.

"But it's not a simple matter to make Bai Zongyi appear," Li Chengdao said: "From the information, you can also see that Bai Zongyi is elusive, his whereabouts are erratic, and his status is so high that basically no one dares to order him, so It is extremely difficult to know a time when he was not in the ancestral hall, the last time I saw him appear was when the Nansu Kingdom team entered Jianshui City, he showed up once."

"Then when will the next time we can be sure that Bai Zongyi will leave the ancestral hall?" Ye Tian asked in a deep voice.

"Four days later, when the two weddings were held in Lanchi Garden," Li Chengdao said.

"No, on the night before the official wedding, there will be a banquet to be held in the imperial city, and Bai Zongyi will definitely appear at that time!" Li Chengdao said excitedly with his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Okay, then I will get the key in three days, and when I get the key, I will force my way to the back mountain and rescue Xia Xuan!" Ye Tian nodded and said.

"It's so good," Li Chengdao said, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Jingyi came to see me in the early hours of yesterday."

Ye Tian didn't speak.

"She said she didn't want to marry Yu Wenye, and hoped that I would help her cancel the engagement." Li Chengdao said to himself, "Because she found out that she has already fallen in love with you, Senior Brother Mu Yan."

"I see," Ye Tian said lightly, "You should have known my attitude last night, so there is no need to say anything."

"I understand," Li Chengdao nodded.

Afterwards, Li Chengdao took his leave and left.

Ye Tian continued to meditate and devote himself to practice.

...

...

In the next few days, Ye Tian basically practiced silently in the room, and did not show his face in public.

In order to avoid the vigilance of the Bai family, and also to avoid Li Chengdao's excessive contact with himself, which would cause troubles in Xiandao Mountain in the future, Ye Tian deliberately passed Li Chengdao at a higher level.

Therefore, Li Chengdao has not come these days.

Only occasionally, Bai Xingya, who is the host, would come to visit Ye Tian and Shu Yangyao, and the few of them would chat and know what was happening outside.

Jianshui City has not been peaceful these past few days, naturally because of Yu Wenye being injured by Ye Tian.

However, with the efforts of Bai Xingya and Li Chengdao, this matter did not produce any consequences.

Nansu Kingdom is naturally unwilling, but Nansu Kingdom is too weak, and their pressure is nothing to the Bai family.

Yu Wenye was indeed crippled, he lost all his cultivation, and at the same time he could no longer cultivate.

The Bai family didn't care much about Yu Wenye at first, as long as he was still alive and able to fulfill the marriage contract.

As for Li Xiangge, Li Chengdao did tell her Ye Tian's attitude right away.

In fact, Li Xiangge didn't expect to get anything. No matter what Ye Tian thought or what other people thought, she had found her true self and hoped to persevere.

Li Xiangge tried very hard to cancel the engagement with Yu Wenye, but neither Chen Guo nor the Bai family had any room to reverse it, and forced Li Xiangge to marry Yu Wenye.

Even seeing Li Xiangge's resolute attitude, in order to prevent any accidents, the Bai family and Chen Guo directly blocked Li Xiangge's cultivation forcibly, and at the same time sent a strong female cultivator to guard him continuously to ensure that he can persist until the marriage is completed smoothly.

Whether it's about Li Xiangge, who is making a lot of noise internally, or Xu Nian, who has always been unknown, in Ye Tian's view, the Bai family's behavior of forcibly sacrificing innocent people in order to achieve their goals is really contemptible.
