utright, but just regarded her with an air of composed amusement. 。“I want to protect myself, although I am skilled, it is still far from enough” 。Before, I always thought that as long as I was quick...In front of all the Moonfall Palace assassins, Su Qingying pulled Su Ziyi forward and had them kneel before her. She announced loudly, "Listen well, from now on, my elder brother is your palace master, the new master of Moonfall Palace!"
"What!" Not only the people of Luoyue Palace, but also Su Ziyi and others were shocked. They stared in disbelief with wide eyes, their expressions completely dumbfounded and bewildered.
Did they hear that right She's giving up Luoyue Palace! Doesn't she know how powerful Luoyue Palace is
Xuan Yuan Luocheng pursed his thin lips, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his cold amber eyes.
There was a discontent with being unable to obtain Su Qingying's lightness, and an even greater discontent for the extreme desire for Lu Yue Palace!
At this moment, his desire for Su Qingying and the conviction that he would have her reached a level he had never experienced before.
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd, Su Qingying forcefully and resolutely stated, "You were all trained by me, and I know your abilities. I hope that after I leave Dongyue, you can help protect my brother's safety and absolutely must not let him suffer any harm!"
Besides the Falling Moon Palace, she didn't know what else could be given to Su Zixing.
Luoyue Palace was of little use to her, but if she gave it to her elder brother, it would be like adding another layer of protection to Dongyue, enhancing his personal safety.
In this way, other countries would not dare to covet Dong Yue easily, which is excellent.
"Ying'er!" Su Zixian frowned, clearly disapproving of her actions, even knowing she was doing it for his own good.
Since Falling Moon Palace belongs to her territory, how could he possibly come over What kind of brother needs his sister's protection in this world
On both logical and emotional grounds, he absolutely couldn't accept it!
Staring blankly at Su Qingying's androgynous and stunning beauty, Yu Feng only felt a heart sink into an abyss of nothingness, his entire body drained of blood in an instant, leaving him feeling utterly cold.
Gritting his teeth, he spoke heavily, "Lord Palace Master, forgive my subordinates for being unable to obey. As you said, we are all trained by you. It is you who gave us our abilities. We can say that without you, there would be no us today. In our hearts, you are our only master!"
"I'm afraid I cannot obey!" Upon hearing Yu Feng’s words, all the assassins of Lu Yue Palace kneeling on the ground voiced their agreement with red eyes. Their gazes were resolute and unwavering, vowing to follow him to the death.
"Ying'er, don't make things difficult for them. Your older brother isn't helpless to the point where he needs his younger sister's protection." Su Zixing was touched by their sincerity and felt a twinge of sympathy. He stroked Su Qingying's ink-black hair and said in a gentle voice, "With Luyue Palace, such a formidable assassination organization, by your side, your older brother can rest assured."
Su Qingying wasn't made of stone. Seeing so many people loyal to her, she couldn't help but have tears well up in her eyes.
Looking up at the sky, she blinked hard, but stubbornly refused to relent, "No! Brother Emperor, I can't bear to leave you. They are among the few people I can fully trust. With them protecting you, I can rest assured and leave Dongyue."
Having said that, her gaze fell back on them. The harshness in her tone softened considerably, and she spoke sincerely: "I'm sorry, I know you may not be able to accept this right away, but I really need your help. I hope you can protect my elder brother and defend Dongyue for me. Besides you, I truly can't think of anyone else who could shoulder this responsibility."
"Palace Master, you needn't apologize to us. We can remain in Dongyue and protect the Emperor's safety. We will do our utmost to safeguard Dongyue. But we will always have only one master, and Falling Moon Palace will always have only one Palace Master, and that is you. Besides that, we absolutely refuse to acknowledge any other! We implore you to take back your previous decision." Yu Feng said solemnly.
This was the biggest concession they were willing to make, letting them change hands Absolutely not!
Upon hearing this, Su Ziyì's face instantly relaxed. He comforted, "They're right, Ying'er, take it back. Brother Emperor is already very happy with your intentions. Besides you, no one could possibly be fit to be the Palace Master of Luò Yuè Palace."
“Palace Master!” Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, the numerous assassins of the Luoyue Palace kneeling on the ground all raised their heads, staring at her with fervent anticipation. Their hearts pounded in their chests, afraid that she would still insist on her own way.
Her brow furrowed in hesitation. Su Qingying subconsciously looked up at Jun Liye on the horse's back. Seeing him silently nod at her, she finally agreed and said, "Alright, since Your Highness doesn't want it, I can only take it back. Everyone, thank you."
"Alright, you should be on your way." The journey had been delayed until now, and they were in danger of not finding an inn before nightfall. Su Ziyi urged them to set off quickly.
"Well then, Brother Emperor, take care. We're leaving." Su Qingying remounted her horse, one hand grasping the reins and the other waving goodbye to him with a reluctant smile as she followed the Bei Ling entourage away.
"East Mountain Emperor, it's time for me to take my leave." Seeing Su Qingying and the others' figures disappear into the distance, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen no longer lingered. He immediately mounted the horse brought by his attendant and bid farewell with a bow.
"Farewell." Su Ziyi nodded politely, his tone distant.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen no longer beat around the bush. With a flick of his horsewhip, he kicked up dust and rode away.
……
After traveling for more than half a month, Su Qingying's large entourage was still moving as slowly as a tortoise, and Beiling seemed far away.
That day, the sun was setting in the west. Crimson clouds were constantly churning at the horizon. In the distance, bare branches stretched and curved towards the sky. Occasionally, a few crows would perch on the branches.
"Arli, how long have we been traveling Are we almost at Beiling I'm about to fall apart from this carriage ride." After riding for so many days, Su Qingying had already switched her horse for a carriage. At this moment, she was leaning against the carriage window, staring blankly at the handsome man on horseback, her spirits low.
If she didn't need to stay with the main force, she would have flown over in a glider. With a glider, she would have been at Beiling by now!
"It's almost there, in just two or three days we should reach the border of Beiling. Just bear with it a little longer." Jun Liye pulled on the reins to slow down his horse, bringing it alongside the carriage. In the orange-red light, his pair of exotic and profound blood-colored narrow eyes were incredibly beautiful, sparkling like flowing jewels.
"Ugh." At the thought of having so many more days of travel ahead, Su Qingying's face immediately fell, her expression one of utter dejection.
Looking at the gray light on the horizon, Shangguan Jinghong rode his horse over from the front, frowning and saying: "It's getting late, it seems we can't reach the inn tonight. It's a dark night, how about we set up camp here This way, the horses can rest, and we can hit the road early tomorrow morning."
Here, there's nothing in front or behind. Even if you don't want to sleep rough, it's hard!
Jun Li raised her eyes to look at the surrounding terrain, “Well then, there’s no way we can reach Bei Ling today. Let's rest here.”yes revealed a hint of disdainful arrogance, an arrogance that only those in power could possess.“What guts! I'm truly envious of you. You dare to speak and act, unfazed by worldly opinions.” Situ Wan...
