Bonfires burned, crackling from time to time.

Starry night lies next to the campfire, and a woman sits not far away, and in the dark night, the bonfire reflects her slender figure.

When the woman rescued the starry night, he had already fainted and had not woken up until now.

An hour later, Starry Night sat up suddenly, and the power of the Imperial Spirit began to stir, full of vigilance.

The energy surged, and the air currents were agitated.

The woman was sitting by the campfire in a daze, and the movement of the starry night brought her back to her senses.

"You saved me?"

Starry Night's consciousness returned to normal, and he saw a delicate face.

"Now you should say thank you instead of questioning me. The woman glanced at the starry night and said, "That's a strong man in the Xinggang Realm, you dare to fight against it even if you are a star?"

The aura around Starry Night dissipated, and he sat down by the campfire again, sitting across the bonfire from the woman, and said in a deep voice, "I can't figure it out." ”

Tie Wei is an insignificant person, there is no need to die.

"I can't figure it out either, but that's not a reason for you to be desperate, if it weren't for me, you'd have died twice. ”

The woman looked at the starry night, "I saw that you were calm and calm all the way, I didn't expect to do such an impulsive thing in the end." ”

The woman didn't complain, she just stated a fact.

"What do you call it?" Starry Night looked at the woman through the bonfire, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, her face was exquisite, and she was a rare beauty.

"Shangguan Lingxue. ”

Xingye stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Miss Ling Xue, thank you for saving me this time." ”

The corners of Shangguan Lingxue's mouth curled slightly, and she smiled faintly, as if she felt that she had saved Starry Night twice, so she didn't continue to hide her appearance, so she kept showing her true face.

"How's your injury?"

Starry Night sensed his own situation, shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it should be able to wait for dawn."

Recover. ”

"Here you go. ”

Shangguan Lingxue threw over a box of pastries, Xingye took it, thanked him and ate it.

Watching Xingye finish eating the pastries, Shangguan Ling Xue had a look of surprise in her eyes, "Fourth-class Qingfeng, you are still fine." ”

Xingye was speechless for a moment, and the little gratitude in his heart was also dispersed, and then he remembered that this beautiful woman was a master of poisoning.

Looking at Starry Night's expression, Shangguan Ling Xue smiled, "I heard about your growth history, which is legendary. After less than two years of cultivation, he became a contemporary dragon protector?"

Shangguan Ling Xue's eyes sparkled, "It is said that when you were in the Star Martial Sect, you overwhelmed the geniuses of the same realm, and everyone was in awe of you?"

"And you chose to join the Qingniu because there is no higher challenge in the Xingwu Sect, and even the personal disciples of the contemporary Xingwu can't compare to you? ”

Listening to what Shangguan Ling Xue said, Xingye asked, "Who are you listening to?"

"I inquired. ”

Shangguan Ling Xue said, "Just after you returned to the Green Cow Sect, I inquired about some things about you. The disciples of the Green Ox Sect worship you very much, and the disciples of the Star Martial Sect also admire the Five Bodies of the Earth, and they all say that you are the best and most talented senior brother in the past generations!"

Starry Night laughed when he heard this, and it was unbearable to think back to his experience in the Star Martial Sect again.

"Isn't that so?" Seeing the change in Starry Night's expression, Shangguan Ling Xue asked suspiciously.

"There's another way of saying it, you'd like to hear it?"

I don't know why, I don't want to practice at all today, maybe it's because I'm depressed, and I don't even want to recover from my injury, so I just want to talk.

Shangguan Lingxue nodded immediately, like a chicken eating rice, the growth history of the dragon protector, of course she wanted to hear it, it must be wonderful.

Starry Night truthfully told the situation of his position in the Star Martial Sect, and the smile on Shangguan Ling Xue's face froze, it turned out that this was the truth.

When he heard that in Qianzong Garden, the Qingniu Sect took the initiative to give up, and all the disciples called him senior brother and thanked him in unison, Shangguan Ling Xue was very moved.

But then he heard that he had won the first place, and all the disciples of the Star Martial Sect were full of anger when they said thank you to Liu Wu and the four of them.

In the end, when he passed the assessment of contemporary Xingwu and was forced to leave, his heart was full of deep helplessness.

"How can this be?"

Shangguan Ling Xue sat there, unable to calm down for a long time, which was too different from what he had heard.

"Tie Wei is the earliest I knew, he was Li Manyue's bodyguard, and he was very wary of me at first, but in the end we became friends, at least that's what I think. This time, he should have lived. ”

Thinking of Tie Wei, Xingye still felt unwilling in his heart, he felt very guilty, "But before he died, he felt that he was lowly and unworthy of life." Even though we are born without waiting, but life is equal, what reason do they have for him to die?"

Tie only face killing machine shot at Starry Night, hoping that Starry Night would kill him, but unfortunately Starry Night didn't make a move.

So, he committed suicide.

From the beginning, he didn't plan to kill Starry Night!

Shangguan Lingxue was silent, originally wanted to make Starry Night feel better by chatting, but she didn't expect that Starry Night was in a worse mood now.

And she learned about the growth history of the dragon protector, which is really a sad history.

The family is aimed at it, squinting at each other.

"Actually, I came out this time because someone went to Yaoshan and wanted to buy your head at a high price. Shangguan Lingxue said.

"The shadow still takes the killer's job?" Starry Night was slightly stunned.

"It's not finished yet, what are you anxious about?"

Shangguan Lingxue said angrily: "However, we refused, and the people who came said how hateful and bullying you were, so I secretly ran out, but I didn't want to kill you, I just wanted to teach you a lesson." But when I came back, I found that you are not a bad person. ”

Shangguan Lingxue lowered her head, "That's why I saved you." ”

"By the way, where are we?" suddenly asked Starry Night.

"In the Starry Mountains. Shangguan Lingxue said: "Don't worry, I have investigated, and no one is chasing after me." ”

Then, there was a coldness in her eyes, "Even if they chase after them, they will only suffer heavy casualties! For those who are ungrateful, there is no need to show mercy!"

Starry Night escorted Li Ci back all the way, experienced all kinds of dangers, and never thought that he would end up with such a fate.

Starry Night looked at this jealous girl and found that she was not only beautiful but also cute.

"Do you know where the nearest city is?" Starry Night looked at Shangguan Lingxue, "I want to know why this happened." ”

Anyway, Starry Night is the dragon protector of the empire, and with this identity there, the people of the Ji family actually planted it through Tie Wei, and they are not afraid of the royal family's guilt?

"There is a city to the west of leaving here, which is not within the scope of the Ji family, you heal your wounds first, and I will accompany you early tomorrow morning." ”

At this moment, in the Ji family's mansion, an extremely brilliant hall, there are several people sitting.

Except for Li Ci and the man in the day, the others were all old people.

"It's a shame that we couldn't kill the Dragon Protector this time. An old man said regretfully after hearing what had happened.

"He certainly didn't go far, or we would have issued a wanted warrant. Li Ci said: "In the name of him assassinating me!"

Several people looked at Li Ci when they heard the voice, and at this moment, Li Ci had an inexplicable momentum, or confidence.

Another elder shook his head and said, "No, it is a great crime to want the dragon protector appointed by His Majesty!"

"My father is dead, who can cure us for our sins?"

Li Ci said: "My Ji family has been silent for many years, and now the great opportunity is just around the corner, it's time to show our edge." I want everyone to know that the Xingwu Empire has a share of my Ji family!"

"This is secret news from the palace, and it is still inconclusive. ”

Leader, the oldest looking old man, who is also the head of the Ji family today, he glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "Ling Yu, you are impulsive this time. ”

Ji Lingyu nodded and said, "Thinking about it afterwards, I have a little remorse. ”

"Now that you know that he is a dragon protector, you should invite him to the clan. Who is the dragon protector? He is the dragon protector given by His Majesty! With his assistance, he will ascend the throne in the future, and he will certainly be justified!"

The old man's eyes sharpened a few points, "What's more, he has an excellent relationship with Xiao Yue, maybe he can help us complete a big thing!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

Apparently they all guessed what the big thing was.

Indeed, Starry Night is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and naturally he is also the most trusted person of the prince.

Li Ci's face also turned ugly, he actually missed this point, "Then what should we do? Shall we get him back again and explain to him that this is a misunderstanding?"

The patriarch of the Ji family raised his hand and said, "That's not necessary, so far, I can only think of other ways." The dragon protector has already offended, and it will be difficult to ease the relationship again, so you will have someone summon Satsuki tomorrow to make sure that she has a good relationship with Starry Night. A man, as long as he captures his heart, he can do things that are angry and angry. ”

Li Ci nodded.

The patriarch of the Ji family said again: "Also, the current situation is unclear, although we can't issue a wanted warrant, but we can make the people in the imperial capital send a twist, let's say that the dragon protector assassinated the second prince, so that the tone over there is tougher, just to probe the prince's tone." ”

The patriarch of the Ji family looked at Ji Lingyu, "Ling Yu, you go and handle this matter, and strive to go to the court tomorrow morning, and the prince can see it at first sight." ”

"Okay!" Ji Lingyu nodded.

"Grandpa, what about me?" Li Ci looked at the Ji family patriarch.

The patriarch of the Ji family said with a smile: "Fengluo City has been very lively recently, young talents from all walks of life are here, this time you bring people over and strive to recruit some competent people for us." ”

Li Ci's eyes lit up, "Go to Fengluo City, could it be that there is something wrong with Fengluo Mountain?"

The next day, Starry Night followed Shangguan Lingxue and the others to the outside of Amber City.
