Braving the rain, the car of the governor of the three counties hurriedly stopped outside the Dongfang Mansion in full view of everyone.

Passers-by exchanged ears, speculating about the cause and reason of the incident.

But none of them guessed correctly.

Soon, after the frame stopped, a middle-aged man in a brocade dress hurriedly got out of the carriage, but his foot slipped and fell in the rain, but before anyone could step forward to help, he had already climbed up and rushed into the Dongfang Mansion.

At this moment, everyone seems to have understood one thing.

However, on the silent streets, the sound of rain was dripping, and what remained in the hearts of all passers-by was nothing but shock.

Who is the one who kneels and licks, at this moment, there is no need to ask, it is already clear at a glance.

"Uncle Dongfang, Uncle Dongfang! I'll ...... Ouch!!"

The bandit braved the rain and finally tripped over the door frame, fell directly into the house, and rolled to Dongfang Shuo's feet.

Dongfang Shuo looked down at him.

It had been less than a quarter of an hour since he gave the order.

"I'll let you check, what are you doing here with me?"

"No...... No...... Don't look it up...... The letter...... Don't look ......."

"Why?"

"Because...... Because this is a letter that I have personally encapsulated. ”

The bandit finally adjusted his breath.

But Dongfang Shuo frowned at the moment.

"What did you say?!"

Dongfang Shuo grabbed the placket of the bandit's clothes, "So, Ji Zhaoning's disappearance is related to you?!"

"What? What's missing?"

The bandit suddenly looked dazed.

He heard that Dongfang Shuo asked him to check the letter, so he hurried over.

On the way, he was very anxious, and he didn't have time to understand the situation at all, so naturally he didn't know about Ji Zhaoning's disappearance at all.

"You don't know?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

"No...... I don't know ......."

The bandit shook his head.

So, Dongfang Shuo let go and threw him aside.

"Then you say, what is written in this letter?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The bandit did not get up, but rolled over and changed from sitting to kneeling.

Subsequently, the bandit said: "This is a letter of recommendation, yes...... It was Erya who asked me to write it for her. ”

"What do you recommend?"

"Isn't that what you mean, Uncle Dongfang, don't you know?"

"What do I mean? What the hell do you mean?"

"It's ...... This is a letter recommending Erya to rush to the Spiritual Domain, and the places in the Spiritual Domain are full this year, so Uncle Dongfang asked Erya to come to me for help, isn't that the case?"

"You fart!" Dongfang Shuo scolded angrily, "The kind of place where ordinary people in the spiritual realm have to go and never return, eat people and don't spit out bones, how can the quota be filled so easily, you lie!"

"Ah, Lord Dongfang, where is this?" the bandit said with a blank face, "The Spirit Realm is a place full of opportunities, and many big names in the empire have soared to prominence because of this! Although occasionally people will die, as long as there is a letter of recommendation from me, Erya will definitely be taken care of, Uncle Dongfang, you will let ......"

"Fart!"

"Uncle Dongfang, why are you scolding yourself?"

"I said you fart!" Dongfang Shuo shouted, "Everyone knows that the Spirit Domain is a dangerous place, how can you open your eyes and tell nonsense?!"

"Lord Dongfang, the Spirit Domain is a good place, this is something that everyone knows!" But the bandits still refused to let go, "After many people come back from the Spirit Domain, they are all returning home!"

"...... return home?" Dongfang Shuo paused for a moment, then frowned, "This shouldn't be what I'm discussing with you now." You say, that letter is your spiritual recommendation letter to the girl, right?"

"yes!"

"So that means that as long as you hold that letter, you can join the team that goes to the Spirit Realm, right?"

"yes. ”

"The entrance to the spiritual realm...... In the Imperial City, in the Imperial Palace?"

"That's for sure. The bandit was puzzled, "Lord Dongfang, what do you want to say?"

But at this time, Dongfang Shuo didn't pay attention to him anymore.

Dongfang Shuo lowered his gaze and groaned.

"Imperial City, Imperial City ......"

"She can read letters......"

"She's going to the Imperial City......"

She ...... Isn't she ......?"

"Didn't she put it down at all?"

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo raised his head suddenly.

He finally found out.

In the past six months, Ji Zhaoning's smile, words and deeds, obviously did not reveal the slightest sadness, but it always made Dongfang Shuo feel a little unspeakably disobedient.

It turned out that she never let go.

In the past six months, every smile and every whisper on her face hides weakness and pain.

Even Dongfang Shuo couldn't imagine how she endured these silent, dark and lonely nights one after another.

"Why didn't I find out sooner?"

Dongfang Shuo smiled bitterly.

In front of him, the bandit looked at Dongfang Shuo, but he was at a loss.

But without waiting for him to ask more, Dongfang Shuo's dodge kung fu had already disappeared in front of his eyes.

When he returned to Kuidou County, he had a brush with a familiar Dapeng bird.

At the time, he just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

Because at that time, there was only one thing that lingered in his heart.

He simply didn't have time for that much.

And on the Dapeng bird that passed by him but was missed by him, there was the person he wanted to look for.

At the same time, Ji Zhaoning, who couldn't see anything because of the distance, didn't realize that Dongfang Shuo rushed back for her, just sat quietly in the sad corner of the Dapeng Bird, quietly waiting to arrive at the destination.

On the city tower, Dongfang Shuo rose from the ground with both feet.

"Whale!"

When he stepped into the sky, he did not hesitate to summon Ah Whale.

In full view of everyone in the county town, he piloted the huge cloud whale and quickly disappeared into the black clouds.

The cloud whale floated upwards and soon came to the top of the dark clouds.

Above here, the white sea and blue sky.

It's like a sea of clouds.

But the cloud whale was infected by Dongfang Shuo's emotions, and he didn't have time to take care of this home-like scene, and tried his best to advance in the clouds.

After all, the cloud whale is a spirit beast that has been cultivated by the king of the second vein for 1,200 years, and this 'sea of clouds' is its main battlefield, so naturally after chasing after more than five hours, it has almost caught up with the Dapeng bird that soars in the sky in the place where it has already left the end of the 'sea of clouds'.

Dongfang Shuo stood on top of the cloud whale's head, looked down, and already saw Ji Zhaoning on the back of the Dapeng bird, sitting on the edge with his knees hugged, and the crowd.

She was solemn, hiding her appearance and body.

"Look, what's that?!"

"I've seen it in books, it's a cloud whale!"

"Oh my God, how can there be cloud whales here?!"

On the back of the Dapeng bird, countless voices were full of shock.

But Ji Zhaoning was unmoved.

It's not that she's not curious, it's because she can't see, so it's useless to be curious.

At this time, in the midst of the shocked voice, the eunuch who was originally sitting on the head of the Dapeng Bird and was originally cultivating had already stood up.

He looked up at the cloud whale in the clouds, and there was a look of greed in his eyes.

"Good beast, since you have appeared, then our family will accept you today and dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

When the words fell, the eunuch jumped in a loud voice, and a surging and terrifying force was already surging towards the cloud whale like a river and a sea.

In an instant, the teenagers and girls on the back of the Dapeng bird all showed shocked and excited looks.

"Is this the mighty man in the palace?

"Is this the real powerhouse?

"That's ......"

......

"Castrate, die!"

A sword is out.

The eunuch's head flew out, and his torso fell straight down.
