Bai Yujing

====================

Liu Ren watched him being taken away silently, Lin Yan didn't even give him a look.

He clenched his fists tightly and bit his lower lip tightly, not letting the anxiety in his heart show.

The palace here is very strange, none of the maids and servants made a sound, they were doing their own things silently, and it seemed that they could not communicate at all.

In other words, they dare not communicate.

The skirt around Liu Ren's body was covered with dew moisture as the night deepened. He quietly endured the discomfort and cold. The empress who had not left for a long time made him clenched his back molars unconsciously.

After leaving Wenhan, he finally fully revealed the calmness brought to him by the rough boyhood. He squinted his eyes in the night, like an eagle catching animals.

Finally, the person the queen was waiting for came.

He lowered his obedient eyebrows and glanced at the white-haired man with a cold body from the corner of his eye.

His hair, which was as pure as frost and snow, had never been tied into a bun, and fell idly on the black clothes, half covering his eyebrows and eyes.

The moment his eyes swept over him, the hairs all over Liu Ren's body stood up irresistibly. He gritted his teeth, feeling as if he was in the harsh winter.

The people in the entire palace turned a blind eye to him, not even a single person who went to the palace to report, and just let him walk into the place where the queen was.

It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared from his field of vision that he shivered belatedly.

At the same time, he noticed with sharp eyes that those palace people who seemed to be walking dead had the same reaction as him.

At that time, he didn't know that this was the coercion released by the gods at will, enough to make all mortals unable to lift their heads.

But he had a hunch that he couldn't miss everything about this person.

Liu Ren pretended to change out of his wet clothes, and ran around like a headless chicken. Finally, when he came around a certain corner, he heard a voice from inside.

He suppressed his beating heartbeat, and tried his best to distinguish the voice.

The inner room, which was as warm as spring, looked extraordinarily cold because of the man's arrival.

The moment the queen felt the familiar coolness, the indifference in her eyes disintegrated instantly, and she almost eagerly stepped forward to hug the white-haired man.

"National teacher," she said with a bit of tenderness and grievance that was not easy to detect, "you are finally willing to come."

"You can't bring anyone here, so I'll do it." The man known as the national teacher was indifferent to the empress' embrace, and there was no emotion in his eyes, and he didn't even reach out to hug her back.

"I brought two of them today." The empress didn't call herself "Zhen", and her tone of speaking even carried the meaning of asking for credit. At this moment, she seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old again.

"Very good, Yongan."

The short four words seemed to have given the empress great encouragement, she continued: "I have asked Lian Pei to take them to the underground palace."

The empress pressed her forehead against the national teacher's chest, closed her eyes tenderly, and said in a low voice, "You can't leave me behind."

The national teacher lowered his head slightly, his eyes swept over the queen's face, and there was no trace of affection in his cold pupils.

He didn't even give perfunctory comfort, he just said: "No one will stay with you forever, and I don't want His Majesty to place any affection on me."

He clearly used the honorific title, but he showed no respect at all.

"I..." Yong'an was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and said, "I know."

The national teacher didn't care about her answer, and even withdrew his gaze, a pair of eyes stared at a point halfway through the window screen.

Outside the window screen, stood Liu Ren who was completely ignorant of this.

He just felt the chill all over his body deepen for no reason, until his mouth and nose were suddenly covered by someone, his heart jumped into his throat in an instant, but the strings in his brain tensed in an instant.

He bit the tip of his tongue and swallowed back the scream that almost gushed out.

In the inner room, the man withdrew his gaze without a trace.

"There's an annoying brat," he said to the queen.

Liu Ren didn't struggle at all, until he was dragged into a dark and damp room, he broke free from the shackles.

"He will kill you."

A low and timid voice said, "If you're still standing there."

Liu Ren suddenly knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you sister for saving me."

The boy's voice, which was deliberately suppressed, had a somewhat indistinguishable taste, and the maid did not suspect it.

In the pure black room, he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly, he could only see the hazy outline.

"No need." The elder sister said: "Don't say anything, don't look at anything."

"Who is he?" Liu Ren blurted out almost at the moment when the palace man finished warning, as if confronting her.

Unexpectedly, the palace man replied, "Nan Chen Guoshi, the queen's lover, a willful killer."

"Understood, thank you for your pointers." Liu Ren nodded and pushed the door open.

"Wait," the palace man stopped him, "Turn your back and come out after half a cup of tea."

Liu Ren turned around and heard the sound of the door opening and closing behind him.

He didn't go against the palace man's wishes this time, and waited enough time before going out.

Since she doesn't want him to know what she looks like, he won't do her any harm.

The outside was the same as before, the palace people were in a hurry, doing the matter at hand step by step, it seemed that the thrilling just now was just an illusion.

However, just as he walked to the previous position, a court lady suddenly walked up to him, "Your Majesty wants to see you."

Liu Ren nodded calmly, followed the maid into the room, knelt down on the ground five steps away, full of respect.

"What did you hear?" asked the Queen.

It seems that there is only the queen in the house, and the national teacher just now has disappeared.

"My servant heard that Your Majesty is very lonely." He finished speaking calmly, but cold sweat had already soaked his back.

Since the empress found him, probably that person had already spotted him.

With the empress's trust in the national teacher, if he avoids answering, he will definitely not have the chance to speak again, so he can only gamble on this.

Bet that this woman who is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme is still a woman with delicate emotions in her heart.

"Lonely?" The queen's eyelashes trembled slightly, "The best men in Nanchen are all in my harem, why am I lonely?"

"You have people you miss but can't see often, so you are lonely."

Liu Ren originally intended to refer to the national teacher, but the queen suddenly took a step back when she heard the words, and fell down on the bed.

"Why," she murmured, "why do you say that?"

The queen's ten fingers were slightly curved, and the black armor was drawn across the bright cloth curtain, scratching the gorgeous silk.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty," Liu Ren tried his best to restrain his trembling voice from nervousness, "Because like you, I also have people who I miss but can't see."

"You are so young," the queen said, "Who will you miss?"

"Not long ago, the servant's father... went to a place that the servant might not be able to reach in his entire life."

If the lower immortals are assigned to sweep or serve the upper immortals, that's all. If they are selected into the army, they may die in the battle of the gods at any time, and their souls will be scattered.

He was already very grateful to Lin Yan for giving his father a chance to be reborn, and he could no longer expect Lin Yan to protect his father well.

"He..." The Queen suddenly covered her mouth, her voice was a bit obscure, "Does he love you very much?"

"Yes."

Liu Ren's throat was tight, so his voice was warm and dry.

His father could have chosen to forget everything about reincarnation and live a life of great wealth.

But because he wanted to watch him grow up in the distant sky, across the Milky Way, he chose to become a fairy.

Even when his child raised his head, he had no way of knowing where his father was heading in the vast night sky.

"Child," the queen waved at him, "live."

Liu Ren walked up to her, but a token was stuffed into his palm.

The round and transparent ice jade exudes coldness from the inside out.

"Take this out of the palace, he won't be able to hurt you." The queen's eyes were slightly red.

===

In the unpretentious underground palace, there are pieces of candles placed every ten steps away.

Milky white candle tears dripped mottled, outlining the winding walls.

The dim and flickering firelight reflected the brown soil around the underground palace, and the sultry smell was lingering.

Lin Yan and Shi Tianqing galloped in some embarrassment in the narrow tunnel. Behind them, a burning man was chasing after him.

Before half a stick of incense, Lian Pei, who led them into the Queen's Palace, turned a blind eye to the piles of copybooks on the case, and went straight behind the screen.

Before Lin Yan had time to look around, his feet were empty, and he felt weightless one after another.

He managed to maintain his figure and landed steadily, struggled out of Shi Tianqing's arms expressionlessly, and then saw Lian Pei jumping down together.

Shi Tianqing still wanted to take advantage of the darkness to profit, but Lin Yan quietly avoided him.

Unconsciously, he continued to cling to Lin Yan's noisy chatter, "Wen Han is not here, I have to protect you."

Lian Pei and the other two walked in the front with a short distance, as if they couldn't bear Shi Tianqing's chatter, they quickened their pace.

Fortunately, these two people can at least follow her obediently, which is more comfortable than the timid generation who squeaks as soon as they enter the underground palace.

Lin Yan followed behind Lian Pei, but suddenly the badge on Lian Pei's waist caught his attention.The token emitted an extremely faint light in the dark underground palace, and it would have been almost invisible if it wasn't for excellent eyesight.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lian Pei suddenly walked into a space where no candles were lit.The surroundings were plunged into deep darkness for a moment, and it was almost difficult to tell the direction for a non-year-old practitioner.A faint smell of blood lingered on the tip of his nose, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

However, in the next moment, a cold light flashed by, and Lin Yan avoided it subconsciously. When he raised his eyes again, Lian Pei jumped up lightly, slashed down fiercely with a knife in his hands, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lin Yan stretched out his hand and followed the momentum of the knife to melt away the edge of the knife. With a little help from his toes, he jumped up and landed behind Lian Pei.

Seeing this, Shi Tianqing put his hands around his waist, pulled out two Qiuhong soft swords in an instant, and threw one of them, "Ah Yan, go on!"

The sword shadow pierced the air like a snow-colored sword, looking to fall into Lin Yan's hands.

The two flanked each other back and forth to form an encirclement situation, the soft sword moved in a treacherous manner, changing in many ways, like a ghost snake scorpion closely following Lian Pei's body step by step.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lian Pei swung the long knife with all his strength to catch his breath for a moment, and then kicked his feet on the ground before the two soft swords caught up, trying to escape.

Lin Yan and Shi Tianqing followed closely, but unexpectedly they heard a scream.

A figure covered in flames that was neither human nor ghost flew out from nowhere in the air, and instantly reduced the fleeing Lianpei to ashes. Lin Yan only had time to constrict his pupils, and hastily stopped his forward steps. But he had already come forward, and Lin Yan waved his sword to block it, but the soft sword that had cut iron like mud just now turned to ashes the moment it touched the burning man.

Seeing this, Shi Tianqing flung out the soft sword in his hand, and the sharp cold light swept across the air, hitting directly on Burning Man's mouth, causing the Burning Man to reach out to block the sword.

At the very moment, Lin and Shi, who were able to catch their breath, changed their direction instantly and rushed out.

The scorching flame followed each step like a phantom, sticking to him like a maggot with a bone attached to him at a distance of one step.

The sound of the howling wind was accompanied by a quickening heartbeat. Lin Yan already realized that there was a ferocious spiritual energy flowing around the burning man, and ordinary martial arts could no longer subdue it.

The exploded sparks seemed to have touched the corner of his clothes, burning the underground palace red, and burning his heart.

The body that had lost its mana was almost at its extreme in an instant. In the state of extreme hypoxia and fatigue, at the moment of trance, a certain person who was also out of breath still did not forget to joke: "Ah Yan, you said that if I chase you like it , will you marry me?"

At the opening of the canthus, he really couldn't see Shi Tianqing's face clearly, he just felt heat waves followed by waves, and the surrounding light and shadows were distorted, and finally Shi Tianqing's face was enlarged to the limit, crowding his eye sockets unreasonably.

Until the road came to an abrupt stop and the sealed intersection was getting closer and closer, Lin Yan didn't realize that his lower lip had been bitten out of blood.

He glanced at Shi Tianqing, they were very close.

It was so close that Shi Tianqing's scattered, slightly damp hair brushed against his face, so close that he could see fine beads of sweat rising from the corners of Shi Tianqing's forehead, and heard Shi Tianqing's deepening panting.

it's time.

Lin Yan said to him, "Can I trust you?"

His voice was very low, so he deserved to receive a long and loud sentence: "What did you say?"

Then Shi Tianqing coughed heavily.

Lin Yan concentrated on it quietly, and took out the spirit ring like flowing clouds and flowing water, and flicked his long sleeves, throwing out a dark blue pearl light.

——The mana limited him, but he couldn't seal the spirit ring and the spirit weapon.

The moment the pearl light fell to the ground, a bottomless pool of water appeared in an instant, he closed his eyes completely, and jumped forward.
