It was night, the starry sky was bright and bright, and the bright white moonlight spread lightly on the ground, as soft as a curtain in a dream.

On the path in the courtyard, Yu Ling and Nian Yubai were walking side by side. The biting chill in the air was naturally insignificant to the Phantom God cultivators, so they both wore only thin robes.

"Aling, now I feel a little bit about your previous mood." Nian Yubai suddenly sighed.

"What's your mood?"

"It's just that you and Senior Sister Zi are obviously in love, but you just can't be together."

"...So Liu Xiyue is at your place now?"

"Hmm...Actually, I don't even know how to face her. I know the plans made by Xue Yang Kingdom, but I can't stop them at all. And as soon as the Huayu Territory Lord died, the original Territory Lord's Mansion collapsed.

Yue is homeless again..." Nian Yubai looked up at the bright starry sky and sighed quietly: "Sometimes I think about it, this is really cruel to her."

"Although I sent someone to bring her and her father to Xueyang Country and settled them in a private house in the Imperial City, I still feel very guilty in my heart, and I don't know how to make up for it. Last time I just had a little chat with the Emperor.

My uncle mentioned that I wanted to marry her, but he vetoed it mercilessly. This period of time was very torture for her and me."

"But you have known for a long time that her identity is too far behind yours." Yu Ling said quietly.

"The problem is that love is something that is inherently uncontrollable!" Nian Yubai said distressedly: "If I could decide who I like on my own, why would I need to worry so much? Those high-ranking officials and nobles recommended to me by the emperor's uncle

My daughters are all too weak and well-behaved, and each of them is tightly constrained by the frame. I have no interest in them at all!"

"And do you know what worries me the most?" Nian Yubai said pitifully: "This time, even my sister didn't support me and even scolded me. In such a huge Xueyang country, I was simply isolated.

I am helpless, so I can only complain to you, Aling."

"They probably thought you were crazy."

"That's right! Forget that the emperor is not happy. Those civil servants and generals are so idle that they blame me one by one. Why don't they go to the front line to fight when they have such free time? I'm really pissed off!"

"I think they will be pissed off by you too."

"Aling, who are you helping?" Nian Yubai looked resentful.

"Okay, let's get down to business, you have three choices now."

"Yeah, tell me, I'll listen."

"First, give up Liu Xiyue and obey the arrangements of your superiors."

"I refuse!!"

"Second, sacrifice everything for love and elope with her."

"...Aling, are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Do I seem like a joker?"

"It wasn't before, but now..." Nian Yubai smacked his lips.

"She was also abducted by you. Okay, let me continue. Third, cultivate to the peak of the phantom god, defeat all opponents, including your sister, your emperor's uncle, and the group of civil servants and generals. Kill her first and marry her later. Three articles

Lu, would you choose one?"

"...I choose death." Nian Yubai said with a downcast face.

"Then there's nothing I can do to help."

Nian Yubai let out a long sigh, suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up and said: "Huh? Wait, you just said to kill first and then play, I think it is very feasible!"

"...What do you want to do?"

Nian Yubai's old face turned a little red: "Ahem, it's nothing. Don't be too gossipy."

Yu Ling stared at him for two seconds and kindly reminded: "Do you want to cook the rice? I advise you to act with caution. If you don't do it well, you will ruin the rest of this girl's life, and you won't be able to save her."

The matchmaker is getting married."

"Then what else can I do! The emperor said that he can accept me taking her as a concubine, but I can't accept it myself! I just want my Xiyue to be alone." Nian Yubai said dullly.

"Maybe in a few years you won't think so."

"Hey, hey, I'm warning you not to slander my character!"

"This has nothing to do with character. It's normal to eat what's in the bowl and think about what's in the pot."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such a Ling, be careful I tell Senior Sister Zi this!" Nian Yubai seemed to have heard the big news.

"Can you find her?"

"You can always meet me in the future, right?"

"I was just joking."

"I'll tell you if it's too late, I've already memorized this!" Nian Yubai said with a smirk on his face.

"You haven't settled your own affairs yet, and you still want to trick others?"

Nian Yubai was immediately hit hard and fell into the sighing mode again.

"Don't be too pessimistic. Just take it slow. There will be a road to the mountain. Maybe there will be a turn for the better in the future," Yu Ling said.

"Why didn't I see any turning point?"

"That's because you are blind."

"Can you please speak properly!"

"You called me out of the meditation room in the middle of the night and asked me to accompany you to enjoy the cold air. You also listened to your complaints and complaints. Do you expect me to talk to you properly?"

"Oh Aling, don't be so stingy..." Nian Yubai smiled and said: "By the way, how are you feeling after your injury?"

"Have you just thought of caring about me now?" Yu Ling said speechlessly.

"Eh? Aling, look at that star, it's so bright. What's its name?" Nian Yubai pretended to be stupid for a moment.

"...such a poor change of subject."

"Ahem, how's your recovery going?"

"Are you spying on secrets?"

"This is a concern between friends, okay? Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!"

"I've been fine for a long time." Yu Ling said calmly.

"Then are you very powerful now?" Nian Yubai asked curiously.

"We'll find out if it's serious or not. We'll have a fight."

"I surrender!" Nian Yu said without hesitation.

"Where's moral integrity?"

"What is that? It doesn't exist!"

"..."

The two chatted casually against the cold wind. Although there was no progress in the actual problem, Nian Yubai's mood had improved a lot.

Yu Ling was about to send him back when he suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Do you know about Tianzhong Pavilion?"

"Tianzhong Pavilion? Does it have anything to do with me?" Nian Yubai had a question mark on his face.

"Has no one come to see you?" Yu Ling asked in surprise.

"Aling, if you have something to say, say it directly. Why can't I understand what you want to express?"

"Then let me start from the preliminary round." Yu Ling briefly told the story of her encounter with Yun Zhiluo, and Nian Yubai couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's all such a mess." Nian Yubai rubbed his hair and curled his lips and said, "Forget it, the Yuanling Tribe and the Phantom Spirit Tribe are doing whatever they want. The sun rises as usual, and I still have to live my life as usual."

"But have you ever thought that if the Phantom Clan reappears in the world, the first thing they will do is to completely control the Sealing Star."

Nian Yubai said a little unnaturally: "If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up, so it won't be so bad."

"I am telling you this just to prepare you mentally."

"Hmm, my cousin is so good. My love for you is not in vain." Nian Yubai said with a joking smile.

"...I'm leaving, you can go back by yourself." Yu Ling turned around and left.

"Hey Aling, don't go. I'm wrong. I'll get lost if you don't care about me..."

Nian Xiaobai's pitiful screams could be heard from far behind.
