In his sleep, he heard a "ticking" sound, like the sound of a clock, and heard the sound of a copper bell ringing. The bell stopped, and everything around him stopped. The flowers, plants and trees that were originally blown by the wind were all stopped.

It stopped, and the surroundings became quiet. It felt like everything was fake, until he heard a cat meow.

The cat's meow attracted his attention. The sound seemed to be an object falling on the calm water, causing waves. He searched for it by the sound until he saw the little milk cat, which looked at him, and then

He turned around and ran away. He followed it for a long time. There was a dark place in front of him. He wanted to stop it and didn't want it to go there. But at this moment, the cat disappeared in front of his eyes...

Hearing the knocking on the coach door in the hazy state, Jingtian woke up slowly, stood up and stroked his forehead gently, and responded: "What's wrong?"

Lan Ran's voice came from outside the bus, saying: "Are you awake? We'll be arriving in the capital in a minute. We need to get off the bus and go through security inspection."

"Yeah, I got it." Jingtian felt that he hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, and his mental state had recovered well. He thought of the dream just now, 'Why did I dream of an off-white cat? And those pair of

Sapphire eyes...'

The carriage stopped, Jingtian stepped out of the carriage and looked at the city gate of the capital of Xiluo Kingdom. He didn't have many good memories of this city where he lived when he was a child. It was enough to remind him of all the misfortunes he had in his childhood.

They did not enter the city with Yuan Qing and others, but queued up to undergo the security check before entering the city. It was already afternoon after Jingtian and his group successfully entered the city, and they found an inn to stay overnight while they settled in. They had dinner with the students.

When Jingtian announced that there would be no practice tonight, the students were so happy that they began to discuss going out to the night market in groups. The students were having a lively discussion, while Jingtian was dining in silence, thinking about how to overcome this fear.

shadow of place.

Lan Ran asked: "Where do you want to go later?"

"I didn't want to go anywhere."

"You want to stay in the inn all the time? Why are you wearing a hat while eating dinner..."

"Well, after all, the people here don't welcome me very much. If you wear it well, it won't attract too much attention."

Lan Ran said helplessly: "Well, after all, Xiluo Country is a military country and a semi-religious country. There are still many people who believe in the legend."

"Believe it or not, it's up to them."

Suddenly, an adult man with black hair and red eyes walked into the inn lobby and was looking for him. When he saw Jingtian, he called out: "Jingtian!"

The students did not expect that Jingtian would know someone in the country, and they all looked at the man. However, when Jingtian heard this familiar voice, he immediately lowered his head and drank the soup quietly. The man walked over and sat in the mirror.

The empty seat next to Tian said: "Why didn't you notify me when you came back? Hey, don't pretend you don't know me."

Jingtian was silent for a while and said, "Have you had dinner? Do you want to come together?"

"Not yet. Didn't I come to find you when I found out you were back? Where have you been in the past few months? If it weren't for the birth stone, I would have thought something happened to you at the border. Are they your friends?"

Jingtian responded silently: "I went to Jiaerwei College to be a tutor. They are my students. They are now going out to practice."

"No, that's good. How long do you plan to stay in the capital?" Seeing that Jingtian didn't respond, the man said again: "My good brother, don't you want to chat with me?"

The man's words attracted the students again, and Lan Ran suddenly realized that he finally knew who this nagging man was.

"Didn't they already say that I am not your relative?"

"It doesn't matter if we can't be real brothers. It's okay to be righteous brothers." The man finished optimistically, and then looked at Lan Ran, "Miss, are you also a student of Jingtian?"

Lan Ran responded politely: "Yes."

The man stretched out his hand, shook hands with Lan Ran, and said, "Hello, my name is Jingchu. Tianxi, may I have the honor to meet you?"

The students were all shocked. Who didn't know that Tianxi was the royal surname of Xiluo Kingdom? The person in front of them at this time was the second prince of this country. Based on what he just said, they analyzed a shocking news. That is Jingtian.

He was once the third prince of this country, and his adopted son was announced to have removed his royal status some time ago.

Lan Ran confirmed his identity and responded: "Hello, my name is Lan Ran Tegel. I am honored to meet you, His Highness the Second Prince Xiluo."

Jingchu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "So you are the Emperor Tianyu..."

Lan Ran warned, "Huh?"

Jing Chu naturally saw her warning and immediately rounded off the words, "They are members of the Tegel family, a hereditary earl family appointed by the royal family of Tianyu Kingdom. I'm glad to meet you."

"Haha, you're welcome."

Jing Tianqing coughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and asked: "What's the matter with you coming to me?"

Jingchu said bluntly: "It's nothing, I just want to see if you have any

It’s okay.”

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jingtian put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly and don't beat around the bush."

Jing Chu said bluntly in front of the students next to him: "You will be summoned to the palace tomorrow morning. You should refuse. They probably want to do something bad to you."

"This is expected. I didn't plan to go."

"Be careful and come to me if you have no other choice."

Jingtian smiled helplessly and said: "In the current situation, you can't offend anyone anymore, and you have to take the overall situation into consideration. To be precise, if you need my help, if you need anything, I can help you, just say it."

"No need, I don't treat you as a pawn."

Jingtian was a little relieved. After all, in the entire Xiluo royal family, the second prince and the queen were the only ones who had never treated him as a pawn. He secretly made up his mind: 'I will help you to become the new king.'

The next morning, Jingtian watched the students doing morning exercises in the backyard of the inn. As expected, he received a summons from the palace. Jingtian, who had originally planned to refuse, changed his mind due to the content of the summons.

"I'll go out later for something else, and you guys can continue practicing. Lan Ran, you'll be the one to supervise."

"You want to enter the palace? Didn't you say you refused?"

Jingtian said helplessly: "I was threatened, so I have to go."

"What's the threat?"

"He warned me in a subtle way that if I didn't go, I would burn down the Bai family's libraries."

"What!?" Lan Ran felt that this royal warning was really outrageous, "The Bai Family Library! It has collected ancient books and documents that are millions of years old, and they will burn them at any time! You are crazy!"

"Perhaps you really dare. I heard Aunt Bai say that the library collects almost all useful books. The oldest books were made more than four thousand years ago in the Desolate Era. There are mechanisms in the library. If it weren't for the Bai family's bloodline,

It’s impossible to get in, and not many people learn ancient writing now. Interpretation is also a problem. Probably because of this, some people think that the library is just a useless place.”

"Then it's even worse. I haven't gone to see it yet. I've always wanted to see it, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance." Lan Ran was angry and helpless, "Who can think of burning down the library to threaten you into the palace?"

So ignorant!”

"Even if I enter the palace, as long as I don't obey their wishes, I'm afraid I will still come up with this plan. Now that I can't tell Aunt Bai the situation in time, I can only take one step at a time."
