Ye Jingyi smiled slightly: "Didn't you say you would take me around the city? That's why I came to find you."

Ye Xun's gaze fell gently on Ye Jingyi, and ripples appeared in his heart.

This thousand-year-old beauty actually took the initiative to keep a date for the first time. This was the first time for Ye Xun.

Of course, this sudden closeness undoubtedly indicates that their relationship is quietly developing in a more harmonious and beautiful direction.

"I see."

"But you were not at home this morning. Can you tell me where you went?" Ye Jingyi's voice was soft, but with a hint of inquiry.

"Didn't we capture a commander of the imperial military council last night? I went to interrogate him." Ye Xun looked frank, hiding nothing.

Hearing this answer, Ye Jingyi's expression changed subtly.

During this period of time, Ye Xun's transformation has been remarkable. The once ridiculed figure now possesses amazing skills.

Qi Yun's trip not only achieved some success for himself, but also enhanced the prestige of the entire Xingyue Sword Sect.

At this moment, he was working hard to deal with the changing situation between the imperial court and the martial arts world. His heroic spirit was admirable.

Looking back at myself, nearly a year has passed by so slowly, and my cultivation seems to have taken only a tiny step in the field of Taoist Qi. The progress is so slow that I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, Ye Jingyi did not feel jealous of Ye Xun because of this. Instead, she felt a little self-reflective in her heart, thinking that she had never noticed the inadvertent shining light in Ye Xun in the past.

"Has this matter been concluded? Does the imperial court really intend to point the sword at us martial arts sects?"

Ye Xun sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "He is just a lowly official, how can he spy on the far-sightedness of the Military Affairs Council? Although I cannot say for sure that the court has such intentions, the risks are obvious and we must guard against them."

"So, what plans do you have in mind next?" Ye Jingyi asked immediately, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Ye Xun turned his head slightly and looked at Ye Jingyi, his eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Why do you ask me this, Senior Sister Ye? I, Ye Xun, have little influence in the martial arts world, and I am just a young man who has just started out. What can I do? As for what to do next, you should ask your uncle. After all, this incident affects the entire martial arts world, and his next move is the key."

Ye Jingyi didn't care about Ye Xun's humble words, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate yourself. At the age of 18, you have made a great performance in Qiyun. All the sects participating in the Seven Sects Conference regard you as a young hero. If you can join hands with them to investigate this matter, I think it won't be too difficult. Moreover, with your style of doing things, you will definitely not let this matter go."

Perhaps Ye Jingyi's words were just spoken casually, but they were like the first light of dawn in Ye Xun's heart, making him suddenly enlightened.

Yes, it would be extremely difficult for me to get to the bottom of this matter on my own or with the help of my uncle.

However, if we could unite with fellow martial artists such as the Qiyun Sword Sect, the Seven Swords Sect, and the Taihu Sect to plot this situation together, it would definitely be much easier.

In addition, with the Demon Palace silently supporting in the dark, the treacherous schemes of the imperial court will surely be exposed to the world and nowhere to hide.

Just when Ye Xun was lost in thought, a clear and pleasant laughter broke his meditation. It was Ye Xiaoxiao's cheerful voice.

"Brother Yexun, come and look at this."

Ye Xun and Ye Jing followed the sound and saw Ye Xiaoxiao standing in front of a stall, smiling like a flower and waving at them. In her hand, she was holding a small and delicate object, which exuded a warm luster.

When I got closer, I saw that it was actually an intricately carved jade hairpin.

"Brother Yexun, can you put it on for Xiaoxiao?" There was anticipation in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes and her voice was full of coquettishness.

Ye Xun smiled slightly, took the jade hairpin from Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, and gently and carefully inserted it into Ye Xiaoxiao's bun.

The jade hairpin complements Ye Xiaoxiao's temperament, adding a bit of agility and gentleness.

"Brother Ye Xun, does Xiaoxiao look good?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked softly, with a happy smile on her face, as if the whole world had become beautiful because of this simple action.

Ye Xun's eyes were as gentle as water, he nodded gently and said, "It looks good. Xiaoxiao looks more fairy-like when she wears this jade hairpin."

Receiving Ye Xun's gentle and affirmative nod, Ye Xiaoxiao's smile became even brighter, like the brightest flower in spring.

Ye Xiaoxiao searched among the dazzling array of vendors again, and soon she picked up an ornament that was exactly the same as the jade hairpin shining in her hair. With a bit of playfulness and expectation, she handed it to Ye Xun: "Brother Ye Xun, look, this jade hairpin and the one on Xiaoxiao's head are just like twin sisters. Why don't you try it on Senior Sister Jingyi and see how it works?"

"Huh?" Ye Xun was a little surprised at first, but in a flash, he understood what she meant. It turned out that Ye Xiaoxiao, this clever little girl, was cleverly paving a bridge for him to get closer to Ye Jingyi's heart.

If it were in the past, given the relationship between Ye Xun and Ye Jingyi, Ye Xun would definitely reject Ye Xiaoxiao's kindness.

But at this moment, Ye Xun happily took the jade hairpin that carried the girl's thoughts.

Before Ye Jingyi had the chance to express any refusal, Ye Xun had already gently dotted the emerald green between Ye Jingyi's shiny black hair, his movements full of delicate and subtle emotions.

Ye Jingyi was slightly startled, her cheeks involuntarily flushed, and she lowered her eyes shyly.

It was the first time that Ye Xun saw her in such a timid look. He was so fascinated by her that he felt a strange ripple in his heart.

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly took Ye Xun's arm, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flickered as she said, "Brother Ye Xun, could it be that Senior Sister Jingyi's peerless beauty is too attractive and you have fallen in love with her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Xun's expression changed slightly, and the inexplicable gaze was instantly retracted. He let out a slightly awkward cough, trying to resolve the sudden embarrassment.

He gently patted Ye Xiaoxiao's head, his tone was filled with a bit of pampering and helplessness: "You clever ghost, stop talking nonsense."

Ye Xiaoxiao said, "What's the big deal? Senior Sister Jingyi is a thousand-year-old beauty praised by everyone in the martial arts world. It's reasonable for Brother Yexun to have a crush on her. Besides, you and Senior Sister Jingyi are about to get married, and you're in love with each other. Isn't it a natural thing to achieve a good thing?"

Hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words, Ye Jingyi's already blushing cheeks looked even more shy.

I couldn't help but want to escape from here: "I'm hungry, why don't we go eat something."
