In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the sword pointed at the throat, wounding in exchange for stopping the attack, and the blood stained the plain clothes red.
"Senior Barbarian King, let's sit down and talk." Ning Chen lowered the sword in his hand and said seriously.
"Hmph"
Barbarian King snorted coldly, held back the breath from his fist, and did not make another move.
"Barbarian King-senpai, please"
Ning Chen waved away Yellow Springs Restriction and said respectfully.
Barbarian King walked by, his face still filled with anger.
In the study, the tea had just been boiled. Ning Chen poured two cups of tea and pushed one cup to the former.
"Marquis of Knowing Fate is really good at predicting things. Even the tea is ready," Barbarian King mocked coldly.
"I received the invitation, how could senior Barbarian King not come?" Ning Chen responded calmly.
"You expected this king to come, and yet you dared to greet me with a serious injury alone. You are so confident," Barbarian King said with a sneer.
"Senior Barbarian King is just asking for an explanation for A'man, how could he kill this junior?" Ning Chen responded with a tired smile on his face.
"I am only taking note of your life temporarily. If you cannot give me a satisfactory explanation, this matter will never pass like this," Barbarian King said coldly.
Ning Chen silently picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. How could an explanation solve the matter?
"A'man is now cultivating under the venerable True Realm of Outer Heavens. Within a hundred years, he should be able to step into the True Realm."
Ning Chen put down the tea cup and said softly.
"So what? Don't you know what A'man is thinking? How could she ever care about this?" Barbarian King said with a cold expression.
Ning Chen was speechless. After a moment, he sighed softly and said, "A hundred years is too long, I can't wait any longer."
Barbarian King Hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly. He felt something was wrong just now. This boy's strength was not what it was thirty years ago. When we meet today, he seems to be much weaker.
Thinking of this, Barbarian King reached out and grabbed the former's arm, and his true energy penetrated. After a moment, his expression changed.
"You!"
Barbarian King~Shocked, the foundation is completely ruined, and the life span is less than a hundred years. How could this happen?
Ning Chen put away his arms and said calmly, "This matter is difficult to explain. Regardless of whether the foundation is completely destroyed or not, it is impossible for me to step into the immortal world within a hundred years with my qualifications. Therefore, there is no solution to this matter."
Barbarian King listened and gradually fell silent. His performance has been so amazing that they have forgotten that his qualifications are indeed not suitable for martial arts.
The candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere in the study was strangely quiet. Neither of them said anything more, just drinking cup after cup of tea.
"Where's that Ninth Princess from Great Xia?" After a long time, Barbarian King put down the tea cup and said.
"Xin Yu is just an ordinary person. Although his appearance has been preserved through a special method, his longevity is still the same as ordinary people," Ning Chen said truthfully.
"The bloodline of the great Xia Emperor family are all martial arts prodigies. I remember that Great Xia, this Ninth Princess, should also have learned martial arts." Barbarian King said in a deep voice.
"I once learned it, but later gave up," Ning Chen responded.
"Why!" Barbarian King asked in a solemn voice.
"Not everyone wants to live forever. This is Xin Yu's choice. I respect her decision," Ning Chen said calmly.
Barbarian King looked at the person in front of him, brilliance flashed in his eyes, is the truth really that simple!
The immortals are strangers to each other, and the ordinary ones stay together. This Ninth Princess from Great Xia is the smartest person in the world.
Willing to be ordinary, in exchange for decades of staying together, no woman in the world can match this determination and determination.
Putting down the teacup, Barbarian King stood up and walked out of the study.
"Juniors would like to present to senior Barbarian King"
Ning Chen stood up, bowed respectfully, and said softly.
Barbarian King left, his figure disappeared into the night, without saying a word.
Watching the former's leaving figure, Ning Chen sighed again in his heart. Suddenly, his energy and blood became stagnant, and he vomited a mouthful of vermilion red, staining the tea on the table red.
A moment later, a suppressed cough sounded in the study, echoing for a long time.
A few days later, the news of Marquis of Knowing Fate of Great Xia's wedding to the former Great Xia Ninth Princess spread all over the world. Great Xia's guards in all regions Martial Marquis immediately set off to return after receiving the news and the emperor's order.
Northern Mongol Royal Court, the royal team went all the way south, traveling day and night, heading towards Great Xia Imperial City.
A big wedding affects the whole world. Countless eyes are looking at Great Xia Imperial City. After more than thirty years, Marquis of Knowing Fate of Great Xia has officially returned. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, no one can tell clearly.
Great Xia Imperial City, inside and outside the palace and the prince's mansion, lanterns are decorated, Hong Ling is hung high, and the festive atmosphere can be seen everywhere.
Ning Xi returns and takes care of everything in the house. In the past, Dangerous Tower Blue Lord has now tempered his sharpness and become much gentler.
"Brother, have you really decided?" Ning Xi looked at the people around him and said softly.
"Yeah"
Ning Chen nodded, looking at the joyful atmosphere of the Hou Mansion, a touch of comfort rose in his tired eyes. Thirty years was too long, and they couldn't wait for the next thirty years.
Princess's Residence, in the medicine garden, the alluring and beautiful figure is quietly tidying up the medicine garden. Even though the wedding day is approaching, her daily habits have not changed much.
The maids in the mansion looked at the princess in the garden with confusion in their eyes. Their princess was too calm. Isn't this day the princess has been looking forward to?
"Princess, Miss Qing is here."
A personal maid came forward and said respectfully.
"Please"
Xia Xinyu said softly.
"Yes"
Not long after, the maid came with Qing Ling, then bowed and left.
Qing Ling looked at the beautiful woman in the medicine garden with a gentle smile on her face and said, "Now everyone in the entire imperial city is talking about your marriage to him, but you two are calmer than anyone else."
"What is a done deal is a foregone conclusion. There is still some time before the wedding day, so it is too early to be anxious now." Xia Xinyu said softly while arranging the flowers and plants in the garden.
Qing Ling walked into the medicine garden and looked at the various types of flowers and plants in the garden. He wondered, "These herbs are not common. Where did the princess get them?"
"Great Xia, Beimeng, or Barbarian Dynasty, there are some. These flowers and plants are so delicate that they must be taken care of every day, otherwise they will wither soon." Xia Xinyu said with a slight smile.
"Soul Severing grass"
After sorting it out for a while, Qing Ling's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he saw an unusually dazzling herb among the many flowers and plants, with a look of shock on his face.
"Sister Qing Ling, there is no need to think too much. Medicines are always poisonous. Soul Severing grass is no different from other medicinal herbs, but its medicinal properties are more intense."
Xia Xinyu smiled and said, "As long as you are careful when using medicine, highly poisonous medicine will have effects that ordinary herbs do not have."
Qing Ling was silent, looking at the woman in front of him. After a moment, he whispered, "Is it worth it?"
It is extremely difficult for those who are not cultivators to keep their appearance. Everything has gains and losses. You can imagine the price behind this.
"Worth it"
Xia Xinyu stepped forward, picked off a leaf of Soul Severing grass, put it in a purple jade box, and placed it next to him.
Qing Ling sighed in his heart, Great Xia Ninth Princess is more beautiful than a flower, and his martial arts aptitude is not inferior to that of his elder brother, but he has given up immortality and is willing to be ordinary.
I would rather have it temporarily than wait forever. This Ninth Princess is really the most proud person in the world.
In front of the big Xia Imperial Mausoleum, Changsun Tomb, plain clothes walked forward, covered in weather and fatigue.
With both knees on the ground, the wanderer returns home, even if he is famous in the stars, even if he is invincible in the world, what can he do?
I don't want to live forever, I don't expect the next life, I just want to have no regrets in this life.
Not far away, Ning Xi stood silently, looking at his brother in front of Changsun Tomb, without stepping forward to disturb him.
"Empress Dowager, I'm here to tell you something. Xin Yu and I are getting married in half a month. When Xin Yu comes through, we will come together to worship you."
Ning Chen, with a smile on his face, knelt in front of the tomb and told bit by bit what had happened these days.
After an unknown amount of time, outside the mausoleum, the autumn wind was bleak, blowing through the red maple trees. An autumn leaf floated down with the wind, flew silently into the mausoleum, and landed on the tombstone.
The red maple leaves are as gorgeous as blood. Autumn is cold. It's the time when the leaves fall again. Time goes by, ruthlessly urging people to grow old.
"Ning Xi, are the maple leaves outside all red?"
Ning Chen looked at the maple leaf on the tombstone and said.
"Yeah"
Ning Xi nodded and responded softly.
Ning Chen was silent. After a moment, he stood up and said, "Take me to see"
After saying that, Ning Chen turned around and walked out of the mausoleum, heading outside.
A hundred feet away from the mausoleum, there is a forest of red maples, as red as fire, with red leaves everywhere fluttering in the wind.
Ning Chen Standing in the forest, looking at the red colors, a sigh flashed in his eyes. When he came, he didn't even notice that the maple leaves in the forest were all red.
I have been walking so fast these years and never had the chance to stop and take a look. It turns out that the scenery in the world is so beautiful.
There was a roar, and suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the nine heavens, and endless resentment coiled around Ning Chen, covering the sky and the sun.
"Marquis of Knowing Fate!"
The faces are full of resentment, and the hatred is added to them. They will not enter reincarnation and will stay in the world forever.
"Everyone, can't wait any longer?"
Ning Chen looked at the countless faces swirling in the void and said calmly.
"It's been thirty years, and we've been waiting impatiently for a long time."
A ferocious woman's face approached and said sternly.
"In the past thirty years, no one has come to avenge our revenge. It is unfair."
An old face said with even more hatred, sternly.
"The people are healthy and your descendants can live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't this good? Isn't it true that you really want to bear hatred for your whole life?" Ning Chen said.
"We died in vain, is that what we deserve? Marquis of Knowing Fate, when you sacrificed us, why were you so vicious?" Another face came forward and said angrily.
"It's a mistake that you know your fate. There is no need to defend yourself. Everyone, please wait for some more time. I will give you an explanation later," Ning Chen said calmly.
"How long will it take?"
Faces filled with hatred swirled around him, and he said sternly.
"The day Ghost Maiden wakes up," Ning Chen said slowly.
The resentful spirits in the sky wanted to say more, but Ning Chen's eyes suddenly condensed, and the Scroll of Chaos's brilliance flourished, and his aura spread rapidly, and all the countless resentful spirits were returned to Scroll of Chaos.
"Brother, Northern Mongol Royal Court's team is almost here, let's go back."
Outside the maple forest, Ning Xi walked in, looked at Plain-clothed Figure in the forest, and said softly.
"Yeah"
Ning Chen nodded, a faint smile flashed across his face, and walked towards the outside of the forest.
The autumn wind blows, blowing the red leaves all over the sky, falling like rain, and it is so beautiful that people are intoxicated.
(ps: I wish everyone a happy new year. Our protagonist will also officially get married and leave singlehood. I hope everyone can find their significant other in the new year and be safe and happy!)
