Seeing that Zhou Xuanji was getting impulsive, Zhao Congjian immediately advised, “Master, we have to consider this at length. At least, nothing will happen to Xiao Jinghong before you appear.”
He saw Xiao Jinghong as his rival, so he did not hope Xiao Jinghong dead either.
”What else can we do? We can only infiltrate the Royal City and look for opportunities,” Zhou Xuanji said with a frown.
Huang LIanxin suggested, “Why doesn’t brother Zhao go ahead and gather some information first? Xiao Jinghong is no ordinary person. To be captured hostage like that, the Great Zhou must do something. Maybe Emperor Yan of Zhou has already done something?”
The others nodded. They felt that they couldn’t be reckless in deciding such matters.
Zhou Xuanji was not overly impulsive due to anger either.
He muttered, “Congjian, you go first then. Keep everything low profile and do not expose identity.”
Within Great Zhou, everyone knew that Zhao Congjian became Sword God Zhou’s sword slave.
The Empress’ killers might be looking for Zhao Congjian as well.
Zhao Congjian nodded and left immediately.
Beixiao Wangjian and Huang Lianxin bowed and left to train on their sword techniques.
They understood that at such a time, Zhou Xuanji needed to be calm.
Moreover, they don’t know the Great Zhou Empire as well as Zhou Xuanji.
Jiang Xue held Zhou Xuanji’s hand and comforted him, “If you are really going to Great Zhou Royal City, I will go with you. We can dress up and pretend to be someone else. Recently, I’ve learned Qin Qicun’s spell to change the face. I guarantee even the immortals and gods cannot discern.
”Previously, you were still saying that I’m bluffing. Now you like to bluff as well?” Zhou Xuanji laughed unpleasantly.
Seeing that he laughed, Jiang Xue giggled too, “I learned it from you.”
Zhou Xuanji patted the back of her hand and smiled, “Don’t worry. I will not act recklessly.”
Looking at Jiang Xue, he realized that he was already as tall as her.
Unknowingly, he did not notice this.
He took a deep breath and said, “These few years, my mind is not in the best condition, which made me neglect people around me.”
Jiang Xue heard and felt a little sour, but she did not express it. She touched Zhou Xuanji’s head and smiled, “Xuanji has grown up. A man should have great aims in life. You are doing well.”
Zhou Xuanji looked back at the top of the hill and said, “It’s been a long time seeing sunset together. Shall we?”
Jiang Xue wrapped her arms around his neck. “You are the one who wanted this, and delays my cultivation process.” She said jokingly.
”Cultivate a little lesser does not matter. Also, actually, you don’t have to work so hard. I will feed and protect you in the future anyway.” Zhou Xuanji said indifferently.
Jiang Xue smiled sweetly and did not reply to him, but she sighed in her heart instead, “I don’t want to become your burden. I want to protect you too.”
The two walked towards the hilltop.
Huang Lianxin turned around. When she saw the two of them holding hands, she felt a little dazzled.
Back then, Jiang Xue was taller than Zhou Xuanji. That time, it was still an older sister bringing her younger brother up the mountain.
Today, both of them were grown up and they were as tall as each other.
”Time passed so quickly.”
Huang Lianxin mumbled to herself. She could not help but become lost in the thoughts of her own past.
12 days later.
Zhao Congjian returned.
He quickly came to Zhou Xuanji and cupped his fist, saying, “Master, things have changed. The Emperor acted.”
Jiang Xue, Beixiao Wangjian, and Huang Lianxin gathered around.
”How is Jinghong?” Zhou Xuanji asked, “Tell me in detail.”
Zhao Congjian nodded and began telling him everything he knew.
