Ming Xi was sitting alone in the secret room, his face reflecting the extremely complicated changes in the spiritual fire in the wall. When the door was finally pushed open, he looked over with stern eyes.

Xiao Qianye also looked at Mingxi at the same time, and a strange look flashed across his eyes - the person in front of him was no longer the weak and ambitious prince who wanted to overthrow his father's regime. He had become even more profound.

Testing, giving off an aura that makes people have to be vigilant.

"Your Majesty." After a moment of confusion, he bowed slightly to the man who had become the new emperor, and carefully put the sword behind him.

"It's good that you're back, no need to be polite." Ming Xi took a breath and suddenly showed a gentle smile, like ice and snow melting, and stretched out her hand to him, "You look very tired, you haven't rested, okay?"

"Thank you for your concern. For me, it's only been a while." Xiao Qianye lowered his eyebrows and whispered. Mingxi thought about it thoughtfully, as if he was having a heart-to-heart talk with him, and as if he was talking to him.

Another person gave a confirming reminder, "You once said that I would continue to be my military cabinet master, so it should still count, right?"

Xiao Qianye was not moved at all, but kept looking down at the white sword spirit in his hand.

Ming Xi just smiled, took back his hand calmly, and pointed to the room behind: "She's in there, go quickly."

Xiao Qianye didn't reply, he quickened his pace and walked in impatiently. The room inside was filled with mist, mixed with the familiar spirit phoenix breath, which blurred his vision for a moment. The Likong sword in his hand shook slightly, and he was still unconscious on the ice bed.

The woman also trembled, but she just exhaled a breath from her throat, and then she frowned hard in the nightmare. The cold sweat kept falling from her forehead, but her fixed body could not move, and even her fingers were covered with thin silver

The pin is nailed to the ice.

"Ah Xiao..." Xiao Qianye rushed forward, his eyes trembling violently. He wanted to touch her, but he didn't dare to make a move easily. His heart was cramping and he couldn't breathe.

Densely packed silver needles penetrated her body, binding her whole body to the ice bed beneath her.

The water on the ice was cold to the bone, with a biting phantom pain that made his heart feel like it was falling into the abyss.

It was he who worried Yun Xiao to the point of using the soul-splitting technique to hurt herself. If he could tell her everything honestly, if he could invite her to fight side by side, wouldn't she be so stupid and wouldn't have to make such a huge sacrifice? Is it his own concealment?

She couldn't feel at ease. It was her own self-righteousness that made things become as irreversible as they are today!

The elder brother is right. He has always been the kind of person who doesn't like to trouble others. He has always fought alone and never trusted anyone around him. Even this time, he originally only planned to kill the gods.

people to face.

Xiao Qianye leaned down beside the ice bed and gently wiped the cold sweat from Yun Xiao's face. He saw that her lips and teeth were lightly closed, and she kept mumbling something.

"I really have never really understood you." He smiled silently, memories of his youth flooding his mind.

At the gate of Kunlun Mountain, he saw for the first time the kind of palace built on the top of the clouds. The clouds and mist flowed quietly around him like smoke and water. It was beyond common sense. It was a majesty that his young self could not understand at all.

The next moment, he suddenly saw something completely opposite to such a majestic and solemn existence - a girl with a pastry in her mouth and half her head sticking out to look at him curiously.

In the first year after entering the monastery, he was arranged by his master to stay at Lunjian Peak and asked Yun Qiu Shui to take care of his daily life. Yun Qiu Shui had a young daughter who was dressed in light green clothes and had waist-length black hair.

, she is not a disciple of Kunlun, nor does she know any swordsmanship skills. When she was young, she would always hold a pile of Four Books and Five Classics under the cedar in the courtyard, and she would be fascinated by it. After class every day, she would practice swordplay silently next to her.

, she would occasionally raise her head and watch without saying a word, and sometimes she would pick up stones on the ground and throw them at her if she found it too noisy.

After all, he was trained by his father as a successor since he was a child. Even if he went to Kunlun Mountain, he would be very strict with his daily life. But when it was time to go to bed every day, this little kid who was busy during the day and extremely energetic at night

The girl would appear like a ghost. Even though he had repeatedly checked and locked the doors and windows, she would still sneak in inexplicably and suddenly appear at his bedside with a night light like a female ghost.

What does she want to do? Every time she sneaks in, there is nothing special, she just pesters him for fun, without any girlish reserve.

Before he came to Kunlun Mountain, he had studied in a school in the imperial capital. He had also met many well-educated young ladies from wealthy families. None of them was as clingy as her, without any sense of worldly etiquette, and she looked like a spoiled brat.

The eldest lady always appears in front of me randomly.

Just like that... the ghost lingered, appearing every day of his young life.

In the second year of his apprenticeship, after the disciple sword test meeting, while the head master was still traveling, Yun Xiao recommended himself to the master, and after finally obtaining Yun Qiushui's consent, he became his fellow disciple.

She did it on purpose. Xiao Qianye closed her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were no longer as confused and disdainful as before. Instead, they showed a happy smile and couldn't help but caress her face.

The moment the master nodded, Senior Brother Tianche stood beside him with a smile. The girl turned around and stuck out her tongue at him with ill intentions and made a face. From that moment on, Xiao Qianye knew that the girl's purpose was not to learn.

Kunlun's swordsmanship, but she unexpectedly gained the favor of the sword spirit. Although she had no foundation, she was able to resonate with the sword spirit the first time she entered the sword tomb!

Xiao Qianye's eyes suddenly lit up. There were not many disciples who could resonate with the sword spirit. Not everyone in Kunlun could have their own sword spirit. Although Yun Xiao finally chose the Qing Mei Sword, the sword that resonated that day

I'm afraid there are dozens of spirits!

In the third year of his apprenticeship, he was forced to follow this little junior sister like a shadow. After all, Senior Uncle Qiu Shui specifically asked him to take care of her. He had to wait at the door for her to return to Jianfeng after school every day.

"Are you waiting for Junior Sister Xiao again?" The disciples from the same sect were pushing and teasing him, "How about you go back first? We will send Junior Sister back to Jianfeng in person in a while, and we will make sure not to lose even a hair on her head.

There will be less... Hee hee, are you relieved?"

"No." He glared at his fellow disciples coldly and spat out two words unceremoniously.

"Eh - you see, I told him that he couldn't bear it..." A few people laughed, and suddenly a hand was put on his shoulder, and he blew gently in his ear, and Yun Xiao's voice sounded softly, "

Are you reluctant to leave me..."

"Hahaha, Junior Sister Xiao, stop making fun of him! It's time to get angry again with a stinky face!"

"Qianye wouldn't be angry with me!" Yun Xiao hugged his arm as if no one else was around, giggling non-stop.

"It was your mother who asked me to wait for you! You are always detained by the master, and it will be dangerous if you go back late on the mountain road." He blushed at the few words, and declared for himself righteously, but his classmates laughed.

Her voice became more and more loud, and in the end she just dragged him along, and they went back talking and laughing.

Completely different from what he imagined, Kunlun is not a place of pure desire, and the elders do not deliberately care about things like relationships. Life in Kunlun Mountain is really comfortable, there is no intrigue here, even if you usually like it

His classmates who took advantage of him for fun also treated him sincerely.

Yun Xiao is not a swordsman. Her physique is very poor, and her abilities in all aspects are not as good as those of ordinary disciples. Even a little luck will cause internal energy disorder. But for some reason, the master takes special care of this seemingly incompetent little junior sister.

, not only would he give her individual guidance every time he came back, but he would also occasionally leave her alone to teach her some more advanced mental techniques.

When I was young, I only thought that she was Master Qiu Shui's daughter, and it was natural for her to be favored by the head master. However, I still inevitably felt irritated while waiting outside.

Then, he was inexplicably reprimanded by the head master - "You are a senior brother, you should give her guidance on weekdays."

Later, in order to prevent this little junior sister from being held back too much, he had no choice but to put away all the "Book of Songs" and "Book of Changes" in her hands after class, and forced her to practice swordplay late at night and practice hard.

In the fourth year of her entry, her spiritual cultivation was far ahead of her peers, and she truly had the demeanor of a direct disciple of the sect. Her small figure reflected the moonlight, and she could even look at the flying birds on the top of the mountain.

The conversation was very pleasant, and the appearance gradually lost its youthfulness and became more and more beautiful, clear and calm, as if he was not a person who should be in this world.

In the fifth year of her apprenticeship, Yun Xiao participated in the disciple sword test competition for the first time. She defeated seven people in a row with the sword formation alone, shocking everyone with her skills. Such an astonishing burst of spiritual power caused thousands of birds in Kunlun Mountain to cry out, but she suddenly felt unwell and fainted.

Later, he was ordered to stop by Uncle Qiu Shui, and he withdrew from all future sword test competitions.

In the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth years of entry, she is no longer the little girl who will appear at her bedside with a lamp, nor will she be left alone by her master because she cannot keep up with the progress.

Under guidance, she would secretly ask the bird to take her to some inaccessible places in her free time. The Kunlun Mountains are really huge, much bigger than the Snowy Mountains of the Demonic Mountains, and people are tiny among them.

Just like a drop in the ocean, there are also caves in the snow valley of Kunlun. It seems that there are other sects of cultivating immortals hidden here. In some places, the snow forms lakes, and it is unknown who planted the red plum trees along the way.

"I like this color, it's so beautiful." She pointed to the red plum behind her, her eyes clear.

Xiao Qianye looked at her intently. The lake was shimmering behind her, and the girl's face was particularly blurry. In fact, Yun Xiao had been wearing a very bland blue dress since she was a child. It was a delicate and simple style unique to the Kunlun school, but

But at that time, she unexpectedly told him that the color of red plums was what she really liked.

Red... Xiao Qianye was slightly startled, feeling a chill in his heart, and a fiery red suddenly burned in front of his eyes.

In the tenth year of entry, the 16-year-old girl is slim and graceful, with a tall and slim figure. She is like a completely opposite existence. Her skin is obviously white, but there is a mysterious blush from the depths. Her behavior and movements are like cultivation.

He is uniquely arrogant and cold, with a faint, imperceptible aura of fire.

Xiao Qianye rubbed his eyes, and a wry smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth - why did he remember it so clearly? He had never thought about those things once, so why was it so clear and clear at this moment, like going back in time?

When did that little junior sister who once gave him a headache become engraved in his heart and suddenly turn from being upset to being confused?

"You...what's wrong with you?" In a daze, the woman on the ice bed opened her eyes at some point, looked at him blankly, and then raised a weak smile on her lips, "Why are you crying? Who...provoked you?"

Angry?"

"Are you awake?" Xiao Qianye woke up from his memories. The Li Kong Sword in his hand also trembled slightly at this time. The pure white soul finally woke up completely and merged into the cracks in the sword body.

"I'm sorry...I made you angry again." Yun Xiao's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to raise her hand, but found that she couldn't move.

Xiao Qianye's heart suddenly shuddered, he pursed his lips, caressed her pale cheek, and sighed warmly: "What's wrong with you? What are you apologizing for? Don't apologize to me again in the future."
