Stunning beauty

into the night.

The heavy rain was splashing.

In the Zhengyang Palace, candlelight danced. Mu Xizi, Yu Qingxuan and her daughter were lying on the bed, seemingly sleepless, and talked all night long.

Mother and daughter, who have been separated for many years, seem to have endless things to say, telling the past of these years bit by bit.

As the head of the Li family's intelligence department, Yu Qingxuan deliberately avoided topics related to the Li family when recounting the past. If he couldn't avoid it, he would just talk about unimportant things.

As Li Ziye said, Yu Qingxuan did not want to betray the Li family subjectively.

Mu Xizi also realized that his daughter still had unbreakable feelings for the Li family, so he did not press on her step by step. He just used his mother's identity to subtly break down the latter's defenses.

Sometimes, the biggest lie in the world is sincerity.

"Daughter, when the war between the two dynasties is over, I plan to announce to the world that you will return to the royal family." After chatting for a long time on the bed, Mu Xizi half turned around and said with a gentle expression.

Next to him, Yu Qingxuan trembled and fell silent. He did not refuse or agree. He was entangled in his heart and did not know how to choose.

"Sooner or later, I'll be back."

Mu Xizi saw the hesitation in his daughter's heart and said softly, "It's better to make a decision earlier than to keep procrastinating."

"I want to stay in the Li family."

Yu Qingxuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, raised his head, looked at the eldest princess in front of him, and said seriously.

"Daughter, you have to think carefully."

Mu Xizi said seriously, "No matter what, there will be no results between you and the third son of the Li family, because you are cousins!"

Yu Qingxuan's body suddenly shook, his hands clenched tightly, and the waves in his heart arose again.

"Daughter, come back."

Mu Xizi sighed softly and said, "As a noble daughter, why should you be a slave to others? I know that you can't let go of the Li family. However, only by restoring your status as a noble daughter of the royal family can you truly help the Li family. The Li family is not short of a slave."

Yu Qingxuan closed his eyes weakly and responded, "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, it's too late, go to bed early."

"Ah."

Mu Xizi nodded, not wanting to push too hard. He closed his eyes and quietly thought about the next arrangements.

At this moment, deep in the palace, in the ancestral hall, Taishang stepped out and looked at the heavy rain outside. His vicissitudes of eyes stared at the entire palace, passing through the thousand years of silence.

The royal family seems to be naturally good at playing tricks. Regardless of their abilities, they simply like the feeling of controlling other people's destiny.

Taiyuan.

This world is so boring!

On a rainy night, Tai Shang stood quietly at the entrance of the ancestral hall, with a tired look in his eyes. After thousands of years, he has been exhausted physically and mentally.

almost.

Once he has finished what he should do, he will be free.

I have to say that in this era, there are still a few good little guys. Unfortunately, they are all exhausted and may not be able to go very far.

In comparison, that boy Shaoyan was a lot more free and easy. I didn't like him at all back then, but now that I think about it, that boy is quite interesting.

Unfortunately, the past is gone and there is no going back.

At the same time, Li Yuan, the inner courtyard.

Li Ziye sat in Taotao's room, holding the Feixian Jue technique and the Green Lotus Sword Wai given by Luo Zhiqiu, studying it carefully.

Across the table, Taotao was also busy checking accounts, barely even having time to drink tea.

About an hour later, Taotao put down the account book in her hand. Seeing that the young master had not gone back to rest, she advised, "Young master, it's already very late. Go and rest early."

"Not sleepy yet."

Li Ziye said calmly, "I won't sleep tonight."

"Little Master, are you worried about Qingxuan?"

Taotao seemed to notice something and asked with concern.

"Some."

Li Ziye sighed softly and said, "After all, we have known each other for so many years. As a subordinate, Qingxuan is not reassuring, but as a friend, he is still qualified."

"I think Qingxuan will not betray the Li family."

Taotao said softly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until today."

"Betrayal and being used are actually not much different."

Li Ziye said with a complicated expression, "Taotao, what we want to look at is the result, not the process and reasons. That's why I say Qingxuan is not suitable to be a subordinate, but only suitable to be an ordinary friend."

"When Qingxuan comes back tomorrow, we will know the result." Taotao said with a gentle expression.

"Well, wait a minute."

Li Ziye responded and continued to study the ninth form of Feixian Jue and Qinglian Jianwei.

The two martial arts created by Li Taibai have almost completely different styles. It is obvious that Qinglian Jianwei is much better than Feixianjue in terms of difficulty and perfection.

However, Qinglian Jianwei's movement and sword skills are inferior to those of Feixian Jue.

Of course, it may also be because he only has the first few moves of Qinglian Sword Wei in his hand. The complete Qinglian Sword Wei in Chidi may change his judgment.

Taibai Academy has a divine realm in charge, so the upper limit of the Qinglian Sword's perimeter will not be much different.

After arriving in Chidi, if there is a chance, I will find a way to get a complete Qinglian Sword Siege.

Why does he feel that in these years, he has always done things that only villains can do?

He, the so-called son of destiny, soon became like Lao Qin, to the point where everyone wanted to beat him up.

The long night passed gradually.

It also rained heavily all night.

In the east, as the sky was about to break, the heavy rain gradually stopped in the capital and became noticeably lighter.

Outside the palace, Yu Qingxuan hurriedly walked out holding an oil-paper umbrella, got on the carriage, and rushed towards Li Yuan.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Li Garden, and Yu Qingxuan quickly walked into the mansion.

In the inner courtyard, in the room, Taotao saw the figure appearing outside the courtyard, got up and walked out, and asked with concern, "Qingxuan, why did you come back in the rain? Didn't you catch a cold?"

"No."

Yu Qingxuan glanced at the young master in the room not far away and asked worriedly, "Is the young master not angry?"

"I'm not angry, I'm just worried about you and have been waiting all night."

Taotao said, "Let's go back to the room and change some clothes first. Your clothes are a little wet. The young master is studying the Flying Immortal Art at the moment. Don't bother him yet."

"it is good."

Yu Qingxuan responded, returned to the room, and changed clothes first.

"Qingxuan."

In the room, Taotao packed up her clothes and reminded, "Try not to stay out overnight in the future. You didn't come back yesterday, and the young master hasn't slept since."

"I'm going to apologize to the young master right now."

Yu Qingxuan said something and walked quickly out of the room.

In Taotao's room, Li Ziye put down the Feixian Jue in his hand and said, "Qingxuan, drink a bowl of ginger soup first to drive away the cold."

Yu Qingxuan looked slightly stunned. Seeing the ginger soup that had been prepared on the table, he said guiltily, "Young Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stayed up all night."

"no need to say sorry."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "The situation yesterday was special. We couldn't come back in such heavy rain. You are just too sensitive. I don't mean to blame you. Drink the ginger soup first."

While the two were talking, in a room not far away, Taotao took the clothes Yu Qingxuan had changed and skillfully took out the talisman inside. After checking it, her face immediately darkened.
