Female Daoist Abbot and Cosmic Shift
As soon as Rising Dusk King his sleeve, a strange change occurred in the surroundings.
The ground began to hum and vibrate at an irregular frequency, and huge cracks suddenly appeared on the wall above.
After the cracks appeared, it did not collapse, but simply moved to both sides, like a door that was opening.
This is underground, some distance from the surface, but as the cracks gradually widen, that distance doesn't seem so far anymore.
The ground began to rise, dragging Xu Bai and the others away from this space. At the same time, Rising Dusk King and his ten thousand troops were also gradually rising.
The cracks ahead, like a series of doors, gradually opened, posing no obstacle whatsoever to them. Accompanied by this steady upward force, in the blink of an eye, a faint ray of moonlight appeared on the wall not far away.
The moonlight was hazy, but it shone into the dark environment with an unusually soft quality, injecting a touch of warmth into the darkness.
"There seems to be a formidable enemy above," Xu Bai said slowly, raising his head and gazing at the sliver of moonlight.
In the darkness, Rising Dusk King remained silent, only looking up at the moonlight.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zihai nodded solemnly.
They could sense that something was wrong.
As the crack above grew larger, their ascent accelerated. When the crack reached a certain size, the upward momentum carried them to the ground.
The moonlight was bright, and the ground seemed a bit more alive compared to the underground space we had just left.
When Xu Bai and the others appeared on the ground and looked up, they were all stunned when they saw the figures floating in the sky.
At this moment, in the sky, there was a woman whose whole body was shrouded in moonlight. She was wearing a Daoist robe, her hair was crooked, and her eyes revealed a sense of madness.
Actually, this woman was very beautiful, with a face that could topple kingdoms, but that hint of madness and chaos made people afraid to approach her and instilled fear in them.
Even the moonlight surrounding her became blurry and distorted.
The distorted moonlight, combined with the aura of madness and the crazed expression on the woman's face, created an even greater sense of terror that permeated the air.
"The Female Daoist Abbot?" Xu Bai was taken aback.
He recognized her at a glance; wasn't she the Female Daoist Abbot who had left a palm print in the Shadow Courier Station?
He remembered that after the Female Daoist Abbot left her palm print, she stepped on thin air and disappeared into the distance. Now, she suddenly appeared in front of him, which surprised him greatly.
Xu Bai wasn't the only one surprised. Besides Yun Zihai and others who showed expressions of shock, even Rising Dusk King frowned.
"Jade Face?" Rising Dusk King said in a steady voice, "We haven't seen each other for many years. Why do you look like this now, and why has your aura become so chaotic?"
He remembered that when he faked his death, Jade Face was still the Abbot of Jade Face Temple, but now, what has happened? As the saying goes, when a person is isolated from the world for too long, he will fall behind.
At this moment, Rising Dusk King was also confused about the current situation, especially after sensing the Female Daoist Abbot's confusion, which made him suspicious.
The Female Daoist Abbot was tilting her head, looking down at the crowd below, but she suddenly stopped when Rising Dusk King uttered those two words.
The madness in his eyes remained, untouched by anything, while the closest thing to that madness was a look of bewilderment.
"Jade Face?" The Female Daoist Abbot quickly recovered, tilted her head again, looked at Rising Dusk King, and took a step forward.
That madness returned to normal, even more intense than before, and if you got too close, you could even be affected.
"Why did she..." Rising Dusk King turned his head, preparing to ask Xu Bai, but the moment he turned his head, the Female Daoist Abbot suddenly launched an attack.
An atmosphere of madness gradually spread. The Female Daoist Abbot raised her jade-like left hand and gently pressed it down towards Rising Dusk King and his army.
It was such a simple, almost supernatural action, yet the surrounding frenzy swelled at a visible speed, as if it had been given a magic pill.
"Not good!"
Rising Dusk King suddenly turned around and raised his right hand.
A jade-like longsword appeared out of thin air, and then the ten thousand soldiers raised their weapons in unison.
"Kill!"
An extremely terrifying killing intent suddenly appeared, swirling in mid-air and forming an invisible barrier.
At the same time, the barrier enveloped Xu Bai and the others as well.
"Boom!"
Without seeing how the two made their move, they felt a deafening roar, and the ground began to collapse violently.
The collapse was spreading rapidly in all directions, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake.
This was just a casual palm strike from the Female Daoist Abbot, yet within a radius of ten miles, not a single living creature remained.
Fortunately, this was a wilderness, and no one else was willing to come here, so no one was injured or killed.
"Jade Face, has she gone mad?" Rising Dusk King frowned.
By this time, he realized that the Female Daoist Abbot was not conscious at all.
At this moment, the Female Daoist Abbot was a mixture of all sorts of chaos gathered together.
"Then kill him."
Rising Dusk King held the longsword in his right hand, raising it horizontally, and ran his left hand along the blade of the sword.
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him began to shift positions, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a unique military formation.
The power of Rising Dusk King lay in his military formation.
Even ordinary soldiers can slaughter countless lives.
Moreover, this is now a force of ten thousand elite troops, which is even more formidable when they are all gathered together.
This military formation is like a sharp spear, gleaming with a cold light; just looking at it will send chills down your spine.
"Kill!"
"Single File Long Serpent!"
A chilling and terrifying killing intent suddenly appeared, condensing into an enormous serpent that swept towards the Female Daoist Abbot.
Compared to the long serpent, the Female Daoist Abbot was like a tiny ant, insignificant.
The long serpent carried a terrifying killing intent, as if it would shatter heaven and earth. The clouds in the sky were dissipating, and the moonlight was blurred by this killing intent.
The Female Daoist Abbot raised her right hand, making a chopping motion with her palm, and slashed at the long snake below.
The surrounding air became scorching hot, and a ball of flame appeared from the Female Daoist Abbot's palm, then spread across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred miles turned into a sea of fire.
The flames and the long snake collided, tumbling and rolling in mid-air, locked in a stalemate.
At this moment, Rising Dusk King his long sword and pointed it at the Female Daoist Abbot.
"Change!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers began to change formation again.
A strange shape appeared on the ground, resembling a water droplet.
Due to the heat of the flames, the surrounding air became scorching hot, and at that moment, the scorching air was descending at an extremely rapid speed.
Snowflakes began to fall from the originally clear and cloudless sky.
The snowflakes were incredibly cold, and when they landed on the Female Daoist Abbot's head and clothes, they instantly froze into patches of frost.
After the flames cooled down, the long snake broke free of the flames and once again wrapped around the Female Daoist Abbot.
A fierce flame rose to the sky, leaving no life for miles around.
The Female Daoist Abbot was swallowed whole by the long snake and disappeared into the sky.
But this situation did not last a moment; the long snake suddenly split open, and the Female Daoist Abbot escaped from it.
After separating, the Female Daoist Abbot had blood at the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had been injured.
Even after suffering severe injuries, that madness still lingered.
The Female Daoist Abbot raised her hand again, bent her middle finger, and flicked it towards the sky.
The next moment, a murderous aura suddenly appeared, and a long snake exactly the same as the one from before appeared in the sky.
The Immeasurable Dao Scripture!
It can simulate everything.
After the long serpent appeared, it charged towards Rising Dusk King's army.
Rising Dusk King sneered, "The Immeasurable Dao Scripture is ultimately just a simulation."
He raised his longsword, and the same long snake appeared, but it was much more powerful than the Female Daoist Abbot had simulated.
The two long snakes collided and fought each other in mid-air.
"Although I don't know why you've lost your mind, I won't let a master who's lost his mind live on in the world." Rising Dusk King said slowly, "I know you're kind-hearted, but I need to consider the people of Great Chu. After you die, I will personally bury you."
The formation changed once again.
The murderous intent suddenly surged, increasing more than tenfold compared to before.
"The Heaven Slaughtering Military Formation!"
"Rising Dusk King said coldly."
"Boom!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, subduing all things.
Before everyone's eyes, the world seemed to lose its color.
The next moment, the Female Daoist Abbot spat out blood, staining the sky, and fell from the sky.
Rising Dusk King was about to continue his attack, a strange array appeared in mid-air.
The Female Daoist Abbot landed on the formation and quickly disappeared.
"The Daoist Sect's Thousand Mile Inch Array and the Immeasurable Dao Scripture are truly strange techniques." Rising Dusk King frowned.
He only had 10,000 elite soldiers. If he had more soldiers, he could have killed the Female Daoist Abbot just now, and wouldn't have even given her a chance to escape.
What a pity...
Rising Dusk King shook his head.
Once I get back, I must tell my emperor brother that this unstable element by my side must be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Brother Xu!"
Just as he was thinking this, a shout came from the side.
Rising Dusk King was taken aback, then turned around and found that only Yun Zihai and the other two were present, while Xu Bai had disappeared.
"What's going on?!"
He strode over, grabbed Yun Zihai the collar, his eyebrows furrowed, and his anger was palpable.
"Just now, when the Female Daoist Abbot disappeared, an identical array appeared beneath Brother Xu's feet, and then it vanished." Yun Zihai stared blankly at the spot where Xu Bai had disappeared.
He has now figured out what the situation is.
Xu Bai's sudden disappearance clearly indicates that the Female Daoist Abbot took him away.
The reason the Female Daoist Abbot came here might not be for the sake of Rising Dusk King, but for Xu Bai.
Yun Zihai of this place, sorrow welled up within him.
"Everything was finally coming to an end, but then this happened. Brother Xu, I'm so sorry."
He was in a lot of pain.
At the same time, he was also very clear that Xu Bai... was probably in grave danger.
If she were a sane and kind-hearted Female Daoist Abbot, she would be a good person. But Female Daoist Abbot has gone mad!
Nobody knows what a madman, especially a powerful one, is capable of doing.
"You bastard!" Rising Dusk King shoved Yun Zihai to the ground with force, roaring, "No one has ever been able to take my people away, generals!"
"Exist!"
"Activate! Heaven and Earth Soul Search!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The military formation underwent another dramatic change. At the same time, Rising Dusk King closed his eyes, only to open them again a moment or two later.
"Chase!"
He uttered a single word, yet the soldiers seemed to understand him perfectly. Without a word, they changed their formation and soon disappeared into the corner of the sky along with Rising Dusk King.
Silence fell over the surroundings, leaving only Yun Zihai and his two companions, each with a different expression.
Yun Zihai said dejectedly, "It is my fault that I harmed Brother Xu."
This was the second time he had said something like this; the first time was when he encountered the Ghost Sculptor.
Can the Ghost Sculptor compare to the Female Daoist Abbot? Not even a finger's width.
Now that Xu Bai has fallen into the hands of the crazed Female Daoist Abbot, his chances of survival are slim.
"Lord Yun, you're just worried." Qing Xue said with a troubled look in her eyes, "It's obvious that the Female Daoist Abbot only wanted to take him away. If she really wanted to kill him, she would have done it already."
When Qing Xue said this, she wasn't very sure, but it was at least a glimmer of hope.
"Should we... still wait here?" Zhou Qing asked.
Among them, Yun Zihai had the deepest friendship with Xu Bai, followed by Qing Xue, while Zhou Qing did not have much interaction with Xu Bai, so he was not in much pain.
"Sheng County," Yun Zihai. "Let's go back first. If Brother Xu is alright, he will return to the escort agency, after all, it's his business."
This place is still in the middle of nowhere. Staying here will not bring any news. It would be better to go back to the county town first, so that at least there will be a place to receive messages.
Yun Zihai barely managed to muster his strength as he led Qing Xue and the other two away from the desolate area.
On the other side.
Xu Bai looked completely bewildered at the people below.
That's right, it's below.
He was riding on the back of the Female Daoist Abbot, being carried along by Female Daoist Abbot.
To be precise, he was being carried on the back of the Female Daoist Abbot.
In that instant, he only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he turned into what he is now.
Are you kidding me?!
I was just a bystander, a spectator! I was just here to watch the drama unfold! How did I end up becoming the drama myself?
Xu Bai remained silent.
And most importantly, can't we use a more unique running posture?
He always felt strange being carried on the back of a beautiful woman.
Xu Bai felt the surrounding scenery rushing past him, his whole body moving up and down with the Female Daoist Abbot's running.
It's... very uncomfortable.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Bai couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
The Female Daoist Abbot turned around, still running, tilting her head to look at him, her madness unchanged.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Bai felt a jolt in his vision, and when it returned to normal, he found himself being held horizontally by the Female Daoist Abbot.
Xu Bai: "..."
I meant wait a minute, not change positions!
Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate for a grown man like me to be carried in a princess carry by such a beautiful woman like you?
Xu Bai wrapped his arms around the Female Daoist Abbot's neck and sighed.
Oh well, I'll just treat it as a mount.
He considered rebelling, but he suppressed the thought for the time being.
After all, given the Female Daoist Abbot's abilities, resistance would be futile.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Female Daoist Abbot does not intend to kill him, but rather wants to take him somewhere.
Riding along like this, we were already quite far from Sheng County.
Xu Bai heard the sound of the wind in his ears gradually weakening, and then the surrounding scenery gradually stopped. He realized that he had come to a hidden cave.
"Um... senior, could you please put me down first?" Xu Bai thought for a moment and tried to communicate with the Female Daoist Abbot.
Because the two were very close, when he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes filled with madness.
The Female Daoist Abbot remained in a state of madness, and even when she was holding Xu Bai, she did not regain her senses.
Xu Bai felt a sudden release and realized that the Female Daoist Abbot had put him on the ground. He immediately flipped over and got up, gripping the Ghost-Head Saber at his waist.
"Are they here?"
Now that he's been put down, this is his destination, and he has no idea what will happen next.
But vigilance is necessary.
The Female Daoist Abbot suddenly reached out and slapped Xu Bai's chest.
The speed wasn't fast, and the power wasn't great, but Xu Bai didn't let his guard down, and dark light rose from his body.
Immediately afterwards, the Cosmic Shift was used.
This palm strike was completely neutralized, and at the same time, it was directed at the Female Daoist Abbot.
The Female Daoist Abbot tilted her head and took the blow without swaying at all.
Xu Bai raised an eyebrow, completely baffled by the Female Daoist Abbot's meaning, and even felt very puzzled.
That palm strike just now wasn't at all the strength of the Female Daoist Abbot; it was only about the power of a seventh-rank cultivator.
But why would he use the power of a seventh-rank official? Xu Bai couldn't figure it out.
But he seemed to have found an unusual clue.
The Female Daoist Abbot seemed to have gone mad, but she always felt that something was pulling her, making her act according to certain rules even in her madness.
Just like now, suddenly weakening one's own strength to attack—how could a madman do something like that?
And then there was the inexplicable taking him away, as if there was a purpose behind it.
He now seriously suspects that the Female Daoist Abbot did not come to find Rising Dusk King at all, but specifically to find him. It was only because Rising Dusk King was there that the two of them fought.
Of course, this is just a conjecture, and there is no way to verify it at present.
As Xu Bai pondered this, the Female Daoist Abbot made her move.
The Female Daoist Abbot casually took two steps, and then, an unusual rule began to operate within her body.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.
He felt a sense of familiarity when the Female Daoist Abbot circulated her power, and now he realized that it was actually his "Cosmic Shift.
The Immeasurable Dao Scripture simulates his Cosmic Shift.
But... what is the Female Daoist Abbot moving? Xu Bai understands the current operating mechanism very well.
It was indeed the use of the Cosmic Shift, but no one attacked the Female Daoist Abbot; Female Daoist Abbot was fighting against herself.
That's right, you're fighting against yourself.
Before Xu Bai's eyes, the Female Daoist Abbot's expression was gradually becoming clearer, but compared to that madness, it was like a drop in the ocean.
That's all, just that sliver of clarity.
Xu Bai stroked his chin, as if he knew exactly who the Female Daoist Abbot had used the Cosmic Shift on.
If he wasn't mistaken, he was trying to remove all of his madness, but clearly he hadn't succeeded.
Perhaps it's because the quality of the Cosmic Shift is not good enough.
Soon, the last trace of clarity in the Female Daoist Abbot disappeared, and she stopped using the Cosmic Shift. She tilted her head, looked at Xu Bai, and a crazed expression appeared on her face.
Xu Bai gripped the Ghost-Head Saber, staring intently into the other's eyes.
The time did not last long. The Female Daoist Abbot turned around and left the cave without any hesitation.
Xu Bai: "..."
This was something he hadn't expected.
He thought something bad was about to happen, but to his surprise, everything just passed by.
"What exactly is his purpose?" Xu Bai frowned, deep in thought.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.
Is it really just for the sake of Cosmic Shift?
This idea seems to be starting to take shape.
The idea of using the Cosmic Shift to transfer her madness seems feasible.
But there are too few clues at hand, and no matter how hard I try, I can't guess any more reasons.
Xu Bai shook his head, trying to shake off these thoughts.
"Let's go back first."
There's just too much information we have now, and given his current situation, it's best to get back to a safe place first.
Having thought this through, Xu Bai stopped pondering it and got up to leave the cave.
As soon as they stepped out, they happened to Rising Dusk King and his troops who had rushed over.
When more than 10,000 soldiers arrived, the scene was enormous, and the surrounding trees were instantly leveled.
"Xu Bai, where is Jade Face?" As soon as Rising Dusk King appeared, Zhang Wang around as if he wanted to beat the Female Daoist Abbot to death right there.
"I'm leaving." Xu Bai shrugged, and without making things up, explained the reason directly.
"Simulation ability?" Rising Dusk King frowned, as if he was carefully considering the cause and effect.
"Any clues?" Xu Bai asked.
Rising Dusk King shook his head and said, "What I want is to return to the capital as soon as possible and find a way to eliminate her directly."
Goodness.
Xu Bai exclaimed that he was a master.
He actually greatly approved of this method of problem-solving.
Finding clues is a troublesome thing. It's better to find the person directly, kill them, and then there will be no consequences.
"Alright, now that you are alright, I will take my leave."
Logically, Rising Dusk King wanted to have a chat with Xu Bai, since it was rare to encounter such a talented person. However, due to this incident, he had to hurry back and discuss it later.
However, before leaving, Rising Dusk King still gave him a word of advice.
"What I said is as good as gold. No matter when or where, as long as you, Xu Bai, are willing, my door will always be open for you."
After leaving these words, Rising Dusk King departed with his army.
Xu Bai rubbed his temples and looked up at the moonlight in the sky.
The moonlight, like silver, shone down on the place below, which had been razed to the ground.
"So there are interesting people like Rising Dusk King in the royal family," Xu Bai thought to himself.
From the moment he met him until now, Rising Dusk King has impressed him as a very bold and magnanimous person.
No wonder he spent half his life on the battlefield.
If someone like that were to become a Prince in the officialdom, it's estimated that within a few days, countless corrupt officials would have their heads chopped off.
"Let 'Sheng County."
Everything was coming to an end, and Xu Bai didn't want to linger here any longer. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he headed towards Sheng County.
Outside the escort agency in Sheng County.
Yun Zihai, Qing Xue, and the others stood on the street outside, waiting for Xu Bai to return.
"I... I might have to go." Zhou Qing glanced at the sky and, forcing himself to say it, finally said it.
With such a big incident, he had to go back and report to the Sixth Prince, otherwise, if he missed the opportunity, he would lose the initiative.
Yun Zihai remained silent, as did Qing Xue.
The two of them seemed to tacitly agree, letting Zhou Qing leave.
Zhou Qing thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally left under the cover of darkness.
At this moment, only Yun Zihai and Qing Xue remained on this street.
"I'm not leaving because I want to wait a little longer," Yun Zihai a hoarse voice. "Brother Xu and I hit it off immediately. If he really doesn't come back, I'll build him a cenotaph. But why don't you leave?"
Qing Xue stared at the gate of the escort agency and said, "He saved me twice, so I must wait for news of him here. That's one reason. Secondly, he is valued by the Prince of Rising Dusk King, and it is worth it for me to wait here for the sake of the Ninth Princess."
Unlike others who speak vaguely about things, she is straightforward and direct.
This was her true thought: firstly, Xu Bai had saved her twice; and secondly, Xu Bai's current status was different.
There's no need to hide it, nor is there any need to. Sometimes, those little tricks are simply beneath the notice of a smart person.
"Heh..." Yun Zihai said with a wry smile, "You really are direct. It's a pity for Zhou Qing. If Brother Xu really comes back, he will lose favor with Brother Xu."
"Everyone has their own choices, and if they make a choice, they must pay the price for the consequences," Qing Xue said.
Yun Zihai stopped speaking, his eyes fixed on the location of the escort agency, his gaze filled with guilt and sadness.
The streets were quiet, eerily quiet; even the night watchmen had stopped passing by the security company.
As time went by, the night grew deeper and deeper, and with each passing moment of darkness, Yun Zihai's mood grew heavier.
Because he knew that the longer it went on, the less safe Xu Bai would be.
Before we knew it, time had slowly passed, and a faint glimmer of light had appeared in the sky.
The streets became lively, and at this time, the people who had been busy preparing since morning saw the Sheng County magistrate and a woman standing in front of the escort agency.
"Let's go." Yun Zihai stood up, looking at the growing number of people around him and the rising sun in the sky.
His face was full of despair, clearly he had reached the limit of despair.
Qing Xue remained silent, only sighing quietly.
Was that man really dead? What a pity.
Such a brilliant and talented person, given time, would surely have been able to stand out from the crowd. The unexpected turn of events was truly too sudden.
The two looked at each other, preparing to part ways.
Just then, they heard a voice, turned around quickly, and their expressions froze.
"Hey? What are you two doing guarding my door? Why don't you go back to the yamen? I waited for you there all night and even slept in your room all night."
Xu Bai was holding a paper bag in one hand, and with the other hand, he took out a white bun from the paper bag, put it in his mouth, and his mouth was full of the aroma of the bun.
Yun Zihai: "..."
Qing Xue: "..."
"Want some?" Xu Bai handed it over.
Yun Zihai and the other man looked at each other in silence.
So, while they were all on edge and guarding the place all night, Xu Bai simply collapsed and fell asleep in the yamen. When he woke up in the morning, he even thoughtfully ate breakfast.
Qing Xue gritted her teeth and said, "I knew he wouldn't die."
Yun Zihai returned to normal and was about to come up and give Xu Bai a warm hug, but Xu Bai stopped him.
"Stop it, don't give me that 'life and death' talk Qing Xue, you can have a hug with me, but you, a grown man, can't." Xu Bai walked towards Qing Xue.
Qing Xue naturally took out the remaining Silver Thorn and played with them in her hand.
Xu Bai looked up at the sky, feeling that he had joked enough and it was time to get down to business.
After finishing the remaining buns in a few bites, Xu Bai gave a wink, signaling Yun Zihai and Qing Xue to follow him, and then walked directly into the escort agency.
Yun Zihai and Qingyun were also confused about what was going on, but seeing Xu Bai's intention, they still followed behind.
It was very early, and there was no one at the escort agency yet. After entering the agency, the group followed Xu Bai to a room in the backyard.
After opening the door, Xu Bai stepped inside first, then invited the two to sit down and closed the door behind him.
"I thought about it all night yesterday." Xu Bai closed the door, turned around, looked at Yun Zihai, and said, "This matter is coming to an end; there's basically no follow-up."
Yun Zihai nodded and said, "I will write a letter today and send it directly to the Capital City to tell His Majesty what happened."
Regardless of what happened in between, and no matter how His Majesty the Emperor planned, Yun Zihai knew that he had been tricked by the Emperor. But now, he had completed his mission, and the Emperor would fulfill his promise.
Finally, Yun Zihai added, "I will fulfill Brother Xu's request as soon as possible. Brother Xu can come to me then, and we can discuss which cultivation techniques are needed."
Xu Bai's contribution to this incident should not be underestimated. Yun Zihai is a man of his word, so he will naturally honor Xu Bai's promise.
"I will also send a message to the Ninth Princess by carrier pigeon today to let Ninth Princess prepare. Also, I will be leaving today." Qing Xue stared thoughtfully at Xu Bai and announced her departure today.
She should have left long ago, but she got involved in it inexplicably and hasn't gone back yet.
However, it was all worth it; at least Ninth Princess's status would rise because of this incident.
As for Xu Bai...
Qing Xue sighed silently.
In the past, she would have been tempted to recruit talented individuals for the princess, but now she has given up.
Even the Rising Dusk King dreamed of having such a talented person, how could the Ninth Princess dare to interfere? Even if Xu Bai really agreed, the Ninth Princess wouldn't dare to accept him.
You dare to accept someone your royal uncle has taken a liking to? Aren't you afraid of death?
Therefore, Qing Xue has given up on this plan.
"Ahem." Xu Bai pretended to cough and said, "Actually, I thought about it all night yesterday. Although we have resolved this matter, I have to think about my future, so I have a plan that I need Brother Yun's help with."
