Chapter 81: 76. Nothing Like Before
Translator: 549690339
Three days later, the monks of light and martial artists of the pugilistic world who entered Mount ru were either dead or captured. The rest could not escape the pursuit even if they hid in the dense forest.
Huixin returned to the White Fox clan. She wanted to cultivate with His
Highness and pursue the Great Dao, but the clan needed her to preside over it.
On the other hand, Master Black Fox was able to kill easily. Chi Shanjun had betrayed her and died. Her original killing intent was also dispelled by Xia PO, and she only targeted that heartless man. She repaid kindness and revenge. His Highness had never stopped her.
She transford into a charming maid and followed Xia Ji to his side, awaiting his orders. She had already pledged allegiance to His Highness, and as long as she followed His Highness, she would have a chance to et that Marquis sooner or later. When that ti ca, she would definitely chop him into minced at and make him into a at patty to vent her hatred.
On the road back in the depths of winter, the army escorted many prisoners.
The two horses were lagging behind.
His hooves clattered on the ground.
Xia Ji turned his head and glanced at the thin princess.
Xia Xiaosu raised her head slightly, her pale skin revealing a sickly beauty. “I’ve never seen you speak so fiercely before,” Xia Ji said.
“No matter what, I hate her for hurting you.” Even if she has all kinds of reasons and grievances, I still hate her. ‘
“Actually, nothing happened between us. She was just a chess piece that happened to appear there. If it wasn’t her, it would have been soone else.
The real mastermind was the Second Princess.”
“Xia Yun?”
Xia Xiaosu let out a sigh of relief. She was used to this kind of information that was full of suspense. No matter how the world changed, as long as she beca stronger, it would be fine. Her brother wanted to use his strength to suppress the world, so she had to be his strongest support. Moreover, she still had the world in her heart. This ridiculous thought made her empathize with the people who were starving and frozen to death under the bridge every night. She sobbed in her bed.
Therefore, for these things that she had to do, she would change herself and beco bold enough to go against any kind of existence.
The two of them did not continue Xia Yun’s topic.
“Brother, I’ve already thought of a na to change,” said Xia Xiaosu.
“Hmm?”
Xia Ji waited for the answer.
“Jie,” said Xia Xiaosu.
Xia Ji was stunned. He recalled so things from his previous life. Was this the Shang of the parallel world, but was it also destined to be destroyed?
He turned his head to look at his royal sister. She was pale and desolate. She was as small as a white plum in the corner of the wall, but she had to be called Xia Jie?
Should he give a hint that it was best not to call her by that na? For example, Zhao or sothing like that. If he used a word like , in the future, when the other party’s generals scolded him, they would forget how to pronounce the word for a mont and then stop cursing. Those who tried to curse would only be humiliated and laughed at by others. Would they win the morale of the army before the battle even started?
A thought flashed across Xia Ji’s mind. ” Do you like this word? ”
“I think this na is very domineering. It should be able to suppress others.”
Xia Xiaosu didn’t have much confidence.
“I like it too.”
Xia Ji laughed.
Xia Xiaosu smiled as well.
Xia Ji raised his head and looked at the distant sky. He recalled the conclusion that he was an anomaly. Strange number and Xia Jie?
So what?
The eighteen-story Stargazing Tower had already been transford into a prison. So of the original restrictive chanisms had been used as defensive asures, and the third floor of the ground floor was used by martial artists on duty.
Outside the tower, there were soldiers patrolling day and night.
Xia Ji walked along the winding stairs.
In a cell at the top of the tower, Yan Ling, who was wearing a prisoner’s uniform, was leaning against the cold wall.
She looked at the bronze sparrow oil lamp on the wall diagonally opposite her and thought that it might be best if she died like this.
“Ahhh!” Not far away, a martial artist’s painful cry suddenly sounded. It was the sound of being interrogated.
This interrogation was very effective. Many martial artists had already surrendered and began to write their own sect’s secret manuals.
It was almost his turn.
Yan Ling thought to herself as she grabbed the white fish pendant with her left hand. Perhaps only the power of her dead mother could give her so warmth.
Clang.
At this mont, the tal chain rang, making an ear-piercing sound.
Yan Ling looked up and saw a person standing in front of the door. A youth.
He wore a dark gold jacket inside and a black python robe outside.
It was Xia Ji.
The two of them looked at each other through the prison door, and Yan Ling turned her head away.
The jailer unlocked the door and chased the other female martial artists out. His Highness was here to visit, how could there be anyone else around?
So of the female warriors were from the Green Cliff Manor. When they saw this scene, they imdiately understood and hurriedly said, ‘”‘Senior Sister Yan, don’t forget about .”
The rest of them also roughly understood Yan Ling’s identity, so they all shouted,”Miss Yan, it’s fate that we can be in the sa room. Please …” “Co out quickly!” The jailer urged the martial artists.
The martial artists were shackled and shackled. This kind of shackle was specially developed for martial artists. There were needles hidden in the cuffs. The length of the needles was not too much. If true qi was circulated in the ridians and slightly bulged, the needles would directly pierce the ridians and cripple them.
The material of this needle was also very special. Unless it was a legendary expert, it was impossible to break the shackles with the Brutal Training thod. This was not enough. Any martial artist who entered the prison would be fed with drugs like “Tendon Softening Powder” every day. In short, unless it was a legend in Jianghu, it was impossible to escape.
“Your Highness, please.” The jailer looked at the Seventh Prince ingratiatingly.
Xia Ji walked through the prison door and sat in front of Yan Ling.
“Greetings, Seventh Prince.”
Yan Ling’s voice was neither cold nor warm.
” You should understand that it’s unrealistic to let you go, ” Xia Ji said. ” So, don’t say such things. ” However, you and I once had a friendship on the streets of the Imperial City. This friendship allows to give you one more choice.”
“What choice?”
“Relax your mind. I’ll recite a sutra to calm you down.”
When Yan Ling heard the words ” chanting her heart twitched. She had not had a good life in the past three years, but was this prince good? If he hadn’t broken out of the situation himself, he would have died long ago, right?
“I’m sorry…”
Her voice softened and sounded apologetic.
Xia Ji said, ” In this chaotic world, the weak are pawns. They are manipulated by the strong and stirred up by the wind and clouds. Their actions, words, and thoughts are not up to them. What’s there to be sorry about? Do you want to listen to my chanting?
Yan Ling nodded. Although she didn’t understand the function of ” chanting scriptures she could at least get a glimpse of this person’s past. Only then could they have a common topic. With a topic, the broken friendship could be slowly repaired.
She no longer had any relatives. Only this person in front of her could make her miss him and feel pain.
Xia Ji sat cross-legged under the sunlight shining through the prison window. His eyes were clear as he chanted a scripture.
His voice was neither fast nor slow, neither high nor low. It was as calm as an ocean current. Because it was deep, there was no noise or agitation.
A mont later…
He had already finished reciting the scriptures.
Yan Ling had been listening with her guard down from the beginning. It was precisely because of this that she quickly felt that vast spirit.
In front of that spirit, he was like a pool of water.
She felt that the prince in front of her had really changed. He was clearly sitting opposite her, only a foot away, but the distance between them could not be described as the difference between heaven and earth.
Looking at him was like looking at the sky, and she could feel how small she was.
She closed her eyes for a long ti. The small pool of water in her heart finally rged into the sea. A strange sense of security surged into her heart. At the sa ti, she also understood that the young man in front of her was no longer an old friend. In less than three years, what level had he climbed to?
After three years, nothing was like before.
Could it be that he was born for this chaotic world?
Many thoughts surged into her mind, but as her spirit deepened, an extrely strong sense of inferiority surged out from the bottom of her heart.
It was a spirit that was close to mighty power.
How could he have a relationship with such an existence?
How could she have a common topic with him?
When she was still thinking about love, the other party was no longer thinking about these things. She opened her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her. His eyes were as deep as the sea. She felt even more ashad of her inferiority. In an instant, she gave up on the thoughts of ” continuing love ” in her heart because she felt that she was no longer worthy.
Hence, she began to ask so questions about cultivation techniques and her confusion.
She asked, and Xia Ji answered.
Two hours had passed.
After a long ti, Yan Ling had already understood a lot. Looking at the young man in front of her, the emotions in her heart had also changed. It was a mixture of inferiority and respect, as well as many complicated emotions.
“Your Highness.”
Yan Ling shouted again, wanting to say sothing.
“Call Teacher from now on,” Xia Ji interrupted her.
This form of address directly cut off all possibilities between the two of them and also put an end to the karma that had once existed. Teacher and student could only be teacher and student.
Yan Ling was stunned and bit her lips. Although she felt much calr, she still felt a little pained when she heard this. However, it was already a great opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by a legendary warrior. Moreover, she had long lost her feelings and sense of belonging to the Green Cliff Manor. So what if she betrayed it?
‘Yan Ling greets Teacher,” she said.
When she raised her head again, her face was replaced with a mocking expression.
Xia Ji wasn’t surprised. He said calmly, “”Xia Yun.”
At this mont, ” Yan Ling ” asked curiously, ” Eh? You actually haven’t killed her yet? ” He didn’t sleep with her either? Little brother, are you still a man?”
