The night wind blew, and the corridor under the moon was full of shadows.

A man and a woman strolled to a pavilion.

The princess mansion is not big, and the dry pond outside the pavilion is the end.

The girl wore a plain robe, and her long snow-white hair was spread behind her, reflecting a bit of silver under the moonlight.

Ye Ming glanced aside, only to feel that the girl in his memory became blurry. The girl next to him was already quite tall, and her temperament was much colder. Only the look of childhood remained between her eyebrows.

Time is indeed the most powerful force in the world...

After not seeing each other for three years, Ye Ming thought that the two of them would still be like they were when they were children, but he never thought that he opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

In the end, it was the girl who broke the silence first.

I saw her sitting on a bench on one side, and the cat jumped on her lap at the right time, so she stroked her hair with one hand and said, "I just heard Wangcai screaming. I thought Grandpa Li was being teased by it again. No." I thought that later I heard Xiaowen shouting that it was you.

I couldn’t believe it at first, and it wasn’t until I opened the door that I confirmed——”

The girl pursed her lips and showed a smile. Her voice was gentle and calm, just like an ordinary person would do when facing an ordinary friend they haven't seen for a long time.

"You're here, welcome back."

"..."

Ye Ming was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Today is the college holiday, and I happened to receive a letter from the teacher again, so I came here... How is Qing'er these years?"

"Ah."

Mu Qing'er's eyes returned to Mao'er in her arms, "Dad was transferred to the Royal Academy as the dean. He didn't come home most of the time, so he asked me to join him.

But that was the Soul Master Academy, and there were many classes that I couldn't attend, so I could wander around the city in my free time, as long as I didn't go out of the city. "

"That should be much better than when we were in Soul Soul City."

The girl raised her head and glanced at him again, and then she hummed slightly, but only she knew what was good or bad.

The cat rubbed the girl's hand, then stretched, with its fluffy tail under its body. Only then did Ye Ming notice that Wangcai's tail was missing a section. Although the wound healed well, the overall proportions There is still some dissonance.

The girl held the cat's tail with one hand, stood up and said, "Okay, dad should be back. You should go see him quickly."

Ye Ming turned his head and saw Xiaowen hurriedly running towards him again.

"Ye Ming, the master is back. I heard that you are here and he is still waiting for you in the front hall."

"understood."

Ye Ming responded and looked aside, "Do you want to come together?"

"No need, there are many things that dad doesn't want me to know, and I think it will be the same this time."

Mu Qing'er handed the cat to the maid, and then another person disappeared into the corner corridor.

Ye Ming looked behind him.

He always felt that the figure in his memory was much blurred. The little girl who loved to listen to the noise in the corner all day had already drifted away...

Xiao Wen stood aside and did not rush. He only waited for the girl to disappear before speaking: "Ye Ming, Miss has been very lonely these years. If possible, can you stay with her for a little longer this time?"

"Didn't Qing'er go to school? Didn't she make new friends?" Ye Ming frowned.

But Xiaowen suddenly hesitated, looked around again, then stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Ye Ming's ear...

……

Since Mutao returned, the entire princess mansion has become brightly lit.

Especially in the hall, there was an endless stream of guards who came to report, but they were all rejected by the old man guarding the door.

When master and disciple met, Mutao didn't want others to disturb him.

At this time in the hall, Ye Ming keenly smelled a trace of blood, coming from the teacher in front of him.

I saw Mu Tao still wearing court clothes, looking at Ye Ming with a burning gaze.

"Yes, I think there is hope for the Soul Emperor within a year, but the soul guide's cultivation level has not been lowered."

"Disciple is ashamed that he has not yet made a level six soul guide." Ye Ming cupped his hands and said truthfully.

Although Fan Yu had already suggested that he try to make a level six soul guide, he had not yet found the time, so he had delayed it.

"There's no rush. If you improve your cultivation too quickly, it will inevitably lead to insufficient polishing at each stage. It's better to prepare for the next competition in a down-to-earth manner."

"Yes." Ye Ming nodded and replied. He knew that there were often letters between the teacher and Uncle Fan Yu, and he had already known about joining the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Well, what did Dean say when you came to speak this time?" Mu Tao put his hands behind his back and asked.

"That's not true, but before my disciple left, he gave me a token of his own."

Ye Ming turned his wrist, and the token handed over to him by Fan Yu immediately appeared in his palm.

The middle-aged man looked at it for a long time before finally saying: "Take it back. The college is probably afraid that something will happen to you, but now this token is no longer needed. Remember to return it to the dean in time when you go back."

Ye Ming nodded, and the token disappeared in a flash of light.

"Then what happens next?"

Mu Tao chuckled lightly, "I think Uncle Li has told you what happened, so I won't go into details, but things may be more complicated than you heard.

That old man has lived too long, and the gangsters in the court have threatened the stability of the empire. I just let him be buried a few years earlier. Many people in the court don't want to see this scene..."

Mu Tao paused and did not say any more. It was too early for Ye Ming to do this.

"All in all, the result is pretty good. It's not as bad as expected. Of course, I underestimated the weight of the title of ninth-level soul master. Your Majesty's will should be announced to the whole country tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Ye Ming's hanging heart was really relieved. Although the whole thing was foggy, it was fine if the teacher won. He did not ask how many people Mu Tao had killed. He believed in the teacher's character.

"Have you seen Qing'er today?" At this moment, Mu Tao asked proactively.

"We met once." Ye Ming said.

"how do you feel?"

"..."

Ye Ming was silent. He thought of that cold back again, and felt a sting in his heart for some reason.

"dramatic change."

"Yeah, it's changed a lot." The middle-aged man sighed and stretched out his hand to touch the pillar on the side.

"Since coming to the imperial capital, her temperament has become more and more like her mother's. It's also my fault that I was too hesitant in the past, which is why she suffered a lot. It's because I failed to protect her."

A trace of guilt appeared on Mu Tao's face, and then he seemed to be reminiscing, recalling the figure that had been recalled in countless dreams in the middle of the night.

"It seems that I haven't told you about Qing'er's mother yet."

The boy nodded and waited for the teacher to continue.

"Her mother's name is Xueyuan. She is not only the current princess, but also His Majesty's biological sister. But at the same time... she is also an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has not even been able to awaken her martial spirit."

"Ordinary people have a hard time in the royal family. Without martial arts, even marriage loses its value. So I will never let Qing'er follow the same path as her mother.

Ye Ming, do you understand what I mean? "
