Qing Yao looked back at Zi Yan and couldn't help but grasp her sleeves with her hands, her expression slightly worried.

No matter who it is, they can't help but feel fear when they hear that someone is coming to kill them. What's more, that person is Chang Yanqing, and the impression left on others is only that of a cold-blooded and cruel Chang Yanqing.

"Don't worry yet."

Zi Yan put her palm on the back of Qing Yao's hand, and she looked at Sister Hong: "How did you know about this?"

Sister Hong looked back at the clerk, and then let out a long sigh.

"I've known Chang Yanqing for almost five years, but I just learned that he is Chang Yan's prince, Chang Yanqing. Before, I only knew his name was A Qing..."

Listening to Sister Hong's narration, the faces of the people around her gradually became filled with surprise, as if the story narrated by Sister Hong completely broke their understanding of Chang Yanqing.

Zi Yan walked towards Liu Haodi at this time, with a solemn look on her face.

"Notify the news and send more people outside the Ba Jian Sect, including those guarding the city, to keep an eye on any suspicious people!"

Liu Haodi gritted his teeth and looked at Qingyao for a few times, then nodded vigorously.

"Now that there is no defensive formation in Qinglan Capital, it will be easier for Chang Yanqing to sneak in. Unless all the real people are guarding your side, I don't think anyone can stop him, and maybe Xiao Ran can't." Zi Yan tightened her grip.

Qingyao's hands.

"What should I do?" Qingyao's eyes revealed panic.

"We have to send someone to inform the emperor about this matter. His old man's order will be more effective, otherwise not many people may believe Sister Hong's guess." Zi Yan said in a deep voice.

"I didn't lie." Sister Hong added solemnly.

Zi Yan looked at her with a soft expression: "I believe you."

Sister Hong nodded. It took her so long to travel, but it was worth it because of Zi Yan's words.

Zi Yan has always held Qing Yao's hands, and the temperature between her palms at this moment may be Qing Yao's only sense of security.

She bit her lip, her heart sinking.

"Senior Brother, please come back soon..." Qingyao murmured, her lips were bitten until the blood turned red.

…

Xiao Ran swung his legs and supported his hands on the ground.

The sun has been tilted, and it is about to be blocked by the two hills directly opposite.

Xiao Ran suddenly had a sudden idea. He reached out and took out the golden purse from his waist, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.

The golden purse was easily penetrated by the sun's rays. Xiao Ran squinted slightly, and he could clearly see a small sword lying in the purse.

"Are you just a loser?" Xiao Ran said to himself, not knowing who he was talking to.

After he finished speaking, some bad taste suddenly arose in his heart.

Xiao Ran weighed the purse in his hands, then twisted his wrist and threw the purse down the canyon below.

He was always ready to jump down and catch the purse.

But the next moment, a smile appeared on Xiao Ran's lips.

Light and shadow flickered below the canyon. Xiao Ran leaned back and supported himself with his hands behind his back. A white-haired girl wearing a golden dress suddenly jumped up from below. She walked barefoot to Xiao Ran's side.

Xiao Ran looked up at her. The white-haired girl puffed out one cheek, as if she was a little unhappy.

Her bare white feet stepped on the loess. Xiao Ran suddenly wondered if there might be dirt on the soles of her feet, but it seemed inappropriate to ask this question in the current atmosphere.

So Xiao Ran just smiled at her and tried to make his expression look kind and kind.

As if her expression had an effect, the white-haired girl's eyes gradually softened. She squatted down on the spot, her golden skirt covering her bare feet.

"Do you remember this place?" Xiao Ran turned around and asked.

Xiao Yanyao's eyes kept staring at the scene in front of him, as if he didn't hear Xiao Ran's words.

"I'm talking to you, can you react, little beauty!" Xiao Ran said loudly.

Xiao Yan turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and continued to look ahead, looking at the scene between the two mountains.

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. The "Xiao Yan Yao" beside him didn't seem to be the normal Xiao Yan Yao.

She might only be able to use a sword, or she might only be able to smile at Xiao Ran...

In this case, Xiao Ran stopped talking to her.

He took a long breath and swayed his legs leisurely.

Xiao Yanyao's eyes finally shifted at this moment. She glanced at Xiao Ran's legs, her red eyes flickering slightly.

The next moment, she actually imitated Xiao Ran's appearance and sat on the ground. At the same time, she also lowered her legs, and her two white calves were exposed from the hem of her skirt, swaying to Xiao Ran's rhythm.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran just smiled and said nothing.

The sun in the distance has changed from golden yellow to crimson, and its light has rendered half of the sky.

"It's started, it's started!" Xiao Ran said excitedly.

Xiao Yan turned to look at him at the same time. She stared at Xiao Ran's mouth curiously, as if she was wondering how those lips that opened and closed could speak.

When Xiao Ran saw his daughter looking at him, he pointed at the scene directly in front of him.

"Sunset!" Xiao Ran shouted loudly.

He directly regarded the girl next to him as a deaf-mute.

The girl smiled and turned her head, observing in the direction Xiao Ran pointed.

"Oh, it looks good." Xiao Ran murmured.

His eyes reflected half of the red sky, and the red was tinged with orange and gold, as if mixed warm-toned paint was poured into the sky.

"Do you think that in sixteen years I can still sit here with you and watch the sunset like I am now?" Xiao Ran turned around and asked.

Although he knew that the girl next to him couldn't speak, he didn't seem to expect her to answer anything.

Xiao Ran was just talking to himself, and the people next to him just added a bit of artistic conception to his soliloquy.

As expected, Xiao Yanyao did not answer Xiao Ran. She kept staring at the scene in front of her, as if she was even more obsessed with it than Xiao Ran.

…

Zi Yan held Qing Yao's hand from beginning to end.

They stayed in Ji Dang's room, which was a small house standing on thousands of steps.

Under the steps is the largest marble square in Ba Jian Sect.

The first time Xiao Ran came to Ba Jian Zong, he slept in this small room for one night, and it was here that he met Ji Anzhi.

The marble fence surrounds three-quarters of the house. Because there is a hill behind it, and coupled with the height, there is always a mist surrounding the house, giving people the feeling of being in the clouds.

But the people inside the house and the people guarding the outside did not feel this way at all at this moment.

Ji Dang and Yang Dian stood with their hands behind their backs. They were the two people with the highest cultivation among all the people present, and they were also Qingyao's total support at the moment.

The two of them stared closely at the surrounding scene, carefully feeling the movement within a ten-mile radius.

The emperor has issued a death order, and no matter whether the news obtained is true or false, Qingyao must be allowed to spend this period of time safely.

There were two groups of people standing on each side of the marble square, monks in white and elite soldiers in armor.

Chang Yanqing may not have come alone. Just in case, everyone has made complete preparations.

Prime Minister Aoki wandered among the soldiers. After receiving the order, he immediately rushed to Ba Sword Sect with thousands of elite soldiers. He first searched Ba Sword Sect inside and outside, and then searched Ba Sword Sect inside and outside.

Soldiers were arranged to patrol the inner and outer three floors.

Everyone is highly concentrated. They are not afraid of Chang Yanqing's coming at this moment. They seem to be looking forward to his coming. They can just take this opportunity to solve this crisis once and for all.

"It would be great if Senior Brother was here now..." Qingyao sat on the edge of the bed and leaned her head on Zi Yan's arms.

"I also hope he is here. He is so young, but he always gives people a sense of security." Zi Yan shook her head and smiled.

"But senior brother won't be back until tomorrow..." Qingyao frowned.

"Then we will stay until tomorrow, waiting for him to come back." Zi Yan gently rubbed Qing Yao's head.

…

"Uncle, are senior sisters already with nephew Xiao Ran?" Lan Yan and Yu Lan were walking in the inner circle of Ba Sword Sect.

Master Yulan turned her head and glanced at Lan Yan, then sighed.

"Xiao Ran is a hurdle that she can't get over. She went to find Xiao Ran yesterday and didn't come back all night."

Lan Yan lowered his head.

"I don't know what happened yesterday, but it happened again today. When it's over, why don't you go and ask?" Master Yulan then turned around and said.

He suddenly found that Lan Yan was already several steps behind him.

"Blue smoke." Master Yulan shouted.

Lan Yan raised her head, her expression a little lonely.

"Do you need me to comfort you?" Master Yulan folded her hands in front of her chest, her expression half-smiling.
