"Time is up."
Ye Kewu got up from his meditation, his eyes revealing a breathtaking luster. His deep gaze passed through the layers of curtains and landed in the direction of the Jiuhua Hall, his gaze turning from fiery hot to dim.
He had been waiting the entire day, waiting for Jiu Muli to appear. He had already planned out a path of retreat for Jiu Muli, and as long as he appeared, he would be able to take Jiu Muli and fly far away without anyone noticing.
This day was the deadline. No one could understand how nervous he was right now.
He had waited for this day for a month, and during this month, Jiu Muli had repeatedly created miracles. His heaven-defying luck, his talent, and his rate of growth had all deeply moved him, causing him to want Jiu Muli urgently.
He was constantly worried that Jiu Muli would not appear, and the nervousness in his heart was like a taut string.
Time continued to flow, and even though the deadline had passed, Jiu Muli still had not appeared. He felt incredibly disappointed.
"Why aren't you here yet? Don't you want to leave?"
Ye Kewu's gaze went from fiery hot to anxious, in the end becoming as deep as water.
He knew that would definitely not like a woman like her, and would always be restricted by her like as if she was a treasure. And for him to be able to let Jiu Muli have his freedom, he believed that this was the most enticing bargaining chip, and Jiu Muli would definitely not reject it.
But now that Jiu Muli still hadn't appeared, in this instant, his heart had completely cooled down.
His dark and gloomy eyes looked towards the direction of the Jiuhua Hall, and all of a sudden, he seemed to have thought of something, and understood something!
"Is that true?"
For a moment, he found it hard to accept that a woman like Jiu Muli, other than him, was unworthy of anyone else. This was Jiu Muli's best choice, he would not allow this kind of woman to end up in Qin Zheng's hands.
Unreconciled!
A strong sense of unwillingness filled his body and mind, causing his expression to suddenly turn malevolent!
In the end, Ye Kewu moved his body, concealed his presence, and quietly flew towards the Jiuhua Hall. He wanted to know what exactly had happened there, and whether it was because of Qin Zheng's obstruction that he was unable to succeed.
The eaves, tiles, grass, and walls of the palace all flitted past his feet. Ye Kewu's body was as light as a swallow, and without the slightest hint of smoke or fire, he quickly escaped towards the Jiuhua Hall. In the end, he landed on a tile somewhere, and his gaze shot into the depths of Jiuhua Hall from afar.
Qin Zheng was very strong, once the strange Qi approached him, it would be detected, thus Ye Kewu stayed far away, similarly restraining his own Qi, but this did not stop him from staring, but when his gaze fell onto the main hall of the Jiuhua Hall, he suddenly stopped.
Inside the Jiuhua Hall, the spacious hall was empty, only Qin Zheng and Jiu Muli were in each other's embrace, with no one else in the hall.
However, when he saw Qin Zheng and Jiu Muli's embrace, it was as if a bucket of bone-piercing cold water had been poured over Ye Kewu's unreconciled heart, causing him to be completely disappointed.
How could this be!
Both of Ye Kewu's eyes were slightly red as he stared unwaveringly at Jiu Muli, and in the end, turned into deep regret.
At this moment, he was truly regretting his decision to not jump into the snake den to save Jiu Muli.
"If I had really gone to save her back then, no matter how strong the poisonous snakes in cave were, they would not have been my match even if I had exposed my trump card. I could even gain Jiu Muli's trust, and Qin Zheng would no longer be an obstacle for him and Jiu Muli."
For the first time in his life, he felt incomparable regret. Regret his decision from the beginning.
Especially the current Jiu Muli, he had unprecedented trust in Qin Zheng, which made him feel both regret and unwillingness!
When he thought about his interactions with Jiu Muli, he could tell that, many times before, Jiu Muli had clearly rejected him and his eyes were filled with vigilance. However, he could not see any rejection or vigilance in Jiu Muli at all under the scene today.
She should have trusted me!
Ye Kewu was extremely disappointed. He wanted to attack, but in the end, he endured it, he was not foolish enough to fight with Qin Zheng, not to mention that he was not his opponent yet, even if he could fight with Qin Zheng, it would be useless.
He did not continue to watch. He knew that Jiu Muli already had an answer, and in the end, left helplessly and dejectedly, returning to the Gongquan.
However, just as Ye Kewu returned to Gongquan, a black figure quietly flew over and appeared in front of him. He knelt down on one knee and greeted Ye Kewu respectfully.
Ye Kewu's expression recovered its iciness, as his indifferent eyes glanced at the black silhouette in front of him. Without uttering a single word, he restrained all of his thoughts into the depths of his heart.
"Greetings, young mistress. The king has ordered his subordinate to bring you back!" The black figure saw that Ye Kewu was not angry and spoke respectfully.
Ye Kewu was silent for a while.
The existence of the black shadow was a secret in his heart. Similarly, the black shadow wanted him to head to a secret location to participate in a trial and obtain an even stronger inheritance!
"Jiu Muli, I will be leaving now. I will come back to find you when I complete the inheritance and become stronger!"
Ye Kewu raised his head indifferently, and looked deeply in the direction of the Jiuhua Hall. In the end, he nodded his head coldly and said: "Alright, let's go."
Jiu Muli, just you wait, next time, I definitely won't let you leave me!
Ye Kewu finally left quietly, with a trace of perseverance and desire for power, he left quickly and cleanly!
"What's going on?"
Deep inside the palace, the Kaiser was currently cultivating. Suddenly, he felt a familiar aura, that was far away. His eyes flickered as he looked in the direction of the Gongquan with a profound gaze.
Gongquan...
Kaiser suddenly thought of her royal sister who had long died, the number one beauty in the world, and her killing intent floated up in her heart.
To this day, he still could not find any clues regarding that year. He still could not find out who the man that made his royal sister become pregnant was. Everything became a mystery because of her death.
"Just who are you!?" Why is that child's profound vein at odds with Qin Zheng! "
A dense killing intent and brutality flashed through Kaiser's eyes. He had long noticed the abnormality in Ye Kewu's bloodline, because his opponent's bloodline was actually compatible with Qin Zheng's, causing him to be shocked.
"Qin Zheng!"
Whenever he thought of Ye Kewu, he would always think of him, but whenever he thought of Qin Zheng, Kaiser would also feel terrible.
A piece of jade that was as black as ink was held in Kaiser's hand. The jade was crystal clear, like black glass, and as Kaiser continued to stroke it, small words gradually appeared on the black jade. There were words on both sides, "Qin" on one side and "Huaiye" on the other.
When Kaiser saw the words on it, his eyes were filled with deep worry and reluctance. At this moment, he seemed to have aged a lot, and he was no longer that lofty Monarch!
This Mo Yu had a lot to do with Qin Zheng's background. Unfortunately, after so many years, he had not found out where this Mo Yu came from!
Qin Zheng was not his biological son, but was merely a child that he had coincidentally picked up in a valley when he was training outside. When he first picked up the child, the child had just been born.
Kaiser had always felt that this Mo Yu was probably the symbol of Qin Zheng's identity, and the only clue he had.
Only, the Kaiser had personally raised Qin Zheng up and treated him as his own. Even today, he still did not dare to reveal the background of the other party, as he was afraid of losing this son of his, and was even more afraid that Qin Zheng would leave the Qin Kingdom.
However, the situation was completely different now. The Qin Kingdom had obtained first place in the Star God Pagoda Ranking Competition, and he felt that it wouldn't be long before Jiu Muli would go out to gain experience. This was what he had promised Jiu Muli at the beginning.
Following Jiu Muli's departure, Qin Zheng would definitely not be able to stay in the Qin Kingdom peacefully. Furthermore, the Qin Kingdom was currently too weak and lacking in resources, it was simply insufficient for Qin Zheng's cultivation to increase.
"Do you still want to keep him in the palace?"
Kaiser fell into deep thought. He suddenly wondered, was he being too selfish, but when the three sect s looked at him, he too was in a dilemma.
There were some things that should have come back after all. Escaping was not an option!
Jiu Muli's misunderstanding with her ended and she obtained a short period of agreement. Jiu Muli was in an exceptionally good mood, and naturally did not have the intention of disturbing Ye Kewu again.
"Where do you think we should go?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Leave the Qin Kingdom and go outside to take a look. By the way, let's collect some resources. We can't possibly empty the entire Qin Kingdom."
At this moment, Jiu Muli was discussing with Qin Zheng about when to leave Qin Kingdom, where to go, and how big the world was. Just this continent alone had many secrets, and Jiu Muli couldn't wait to explore them all.
Furthermore, what Jiu Muli desired the most was to learn more ancient books, especially the more detailed ancient books to introduce to cultivators.
Although her cultivation broke through quickly, it was mostly due to luck, which allowed her to have such a deep foundation. However, whether it was the alchemist or the Profound Opening Master, she still had a lot of things she needed to learn. As her cultivation grew higher and higher, the knowledge from her previous life would gradually become insufficient, so she needed to have a more systematic understanding.
"Let's not think about these things for now."
Qin Zheng shook his head, his eyebrows tightly knitted, and for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Jiu Muli's heart jumped, this gaze was too familiar, it was the evil spirit's killing intent again, she immediately asked curiously: What's wrong?
"Nothing, but if you want to leave, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a few more days. You have to take care of Bai Huaxian and the rest first, otherwise, there will be endless trouble in the future." Qin Zheng's tone was determined.
Jiu Muli was startled, she did not have any intention of settling the score, as long as Bai Huaxian did not provoke her, she still wanted to cultivate in peace.
"She will not let us go. If we leave like this, the royal father will suffer a loss." Qin Zheng explained.
"Hmm, then let's wait first. I believe she will make her move soon."
Jiu Muli nodded, he felt that he had to take care of Bai Huaxian, if not he would not be at ease, furthermore, Bai Huaxian's killing intent was so strong that even if they did not take him seriously, Bai Huaxian would definitely come knocking on their door!
