Chapter Ninety-Three: The Return
When the sky was just faintly bright, Wu Tianxiao finally returned to Cloud Leaf City by boat.
Wu Tianjun couldn't believe his eyes when he saw him get off the ship in the harbor.
"Big brother!" Wu Tianjun stood aside and shouted, and ran over at the same time.
"Tianjun?" As soon as Wu Tianxiao's feet touched the ground, he was hugged by Wu Tianjun, who was rushing over.
"You're alive! You're still alive! I knew it was so! β
"Tianjun ......" Wu Tianxiao was hugged tightly by her younger brother, and she felt that she was about to lose her breath.
"Ah, I'm so happy!" Wu Tianjun finally let go of his brother.
The two of them started talking at the docks.
"Do you know that Qiushui was still waiting for you here just now?"
"Autumn water! How is she? β
"Ever since I heard the news of your death, I've been in a state of devastation."
"Me? You mean the sinking of the ship? β
"Yes, we heard that you were on that ship, and that there was a chance that you would be ...... by the storm."
"She thought I was dead."
"I thought you were dead at first," Wu Tianjun looked at him seriously, "But, I asked around for information, and there was a part of my heart that couldn't admit that you died like this anyway...... I think it's the same with autumn water. β
"Autumn Water ......"
Jing Qiushui rested in the inn for a while, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep all the time.
As soon as the morning dawned, Jing Qiushui decided to come to the dock to wait for him again.
When she saw the figure from afar, she felt her heart beat faster.
"Ah Xiao!" She burst out of her mouth.
"Huh? Translucent? Wu Tianxiao, who was talking to her brother, turned around and saw her.
Jing Qiushui ran to his embrace.
ββ¦β¦ Translucent? Before Wu Tianxiao could react, she had already buried her head in his arms.
She cried in Wu Tianxiao's arms.
"Autumn Water ......"
"I ...... I thought you weren't coming back. Qiushui's voice was small and a little choked.
"It's okay...... Wu Tianxiao raised a hand, gently stroked her head, and comforted.
Jing Qiushui didn't speak again, and Wu Tianxiao stroked her head while saying comforting words.
After a long while, Jing Qiushui could barely restrain his emotions.
"Are you feeling better?"
With this question, Jing Qiushui's eyes turned red again.
"Big brother, it's good that you came back alive."
"I went back to the country of Xiaohan and met my father."
"Really? How's it going over there? Wu Tianjun asked.
"My father was kidnapped by the rebels, and I went to rescue him alive by myself."
"Huh?" Wu Tianjun was surprised.
"However, as soon as I brought my father back to the palace, there was an incident in which Jin'er was injured. My father said that I was injured, but I
I haven't touched a single hair of her! My father ordered me to be expelled from the Cold Kingdom forever. β
"How so?" Wu Tianjun was dumbfounded.
"I swear to God, I have never beaten Ye'er!"
"I believe in you, you're not that kind of person." Wu Tianjun said, "Forever expelled? This is too ruthless, is this what my father did? β
"That's already good, my father was going to kill me at first."
"What?" Wu Tianjun frowned.
"My father said that it was Yu'er who interceded on my behalf to exempt me from the death penalty and expel me forever from ......"
"There's something wrong with this girl." Wu Tianjun interrupted him, "It's suspicious. β
"You also know Jin'er, although she is willful, she is not ......"
"Not for what? With her vicious heart and villainous face, don't be too naΓ―ve, big brother ......"
"What does the second brother mean?"
"Since this happened to Jin'er, I think she provoked it."
"On the way back, I thought about it thoroughly...... There is a great possibility. β
"However, my father couldn't listen to our good words and persuasion at all, and only loved that Yao'er and her mother."
"Are you talking about this is a family matter of the royal family of the Xiaohan Kingdom? Am I not supposed to listen? Jing Qiushui said.
"Qiushui, you're already a very close person, it's okay." Wu Tianxiao said.
"Then if I analyze it for you, I also agree with Tianjun's opinion." Jing Qiushui said.
"You also think there is something wrong with Jin'er, don't you? Big brother, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and Qiushui, from an outsider's point of view, also agrees with me. β
"Hmm...... But why should I blame her? β
"With what we know about her, can't you really guess?" Wu Tianjun asked.
"I don't want to think about it in that direction at all." Wu Tianxiao frowned.
"But that's the way it is, she's been working against us and doing so many excesses, and this time she might want to eradicate us completely...... I'm sorry, I should have gone back with you. β
"No, if we go back together, she will find a way to deal with you, and it's a good thing that you can escape."
"Could it be that our Wu clan's world is going to be overthrown by such a yellow-haired girl?"
"Who are you talking about?" Jing Qiushui asked.
"Our stepsister is the princess of the Frosty Country."
She ...... I hate you so much for doing such a thing? β
"Both Jin'er and her mother, the Queen Mother, have always regarded us as a thorn in their side. Even the father and emperor put them first. Wu Tianxiao said.
"That's terrible." Jing Qiushui said, "It seems that you have no choice but to stay in Yunni Country. β
"yes, it seems that is the case at the moment." Wu Tianjun said.
"In my opinion, if this development continues, then the Xiaohan country will be in danger and leave the country
That day is not far off. Wu Tianxiao said.
"Big brother, don't be so pessimistic."
"As far as I can see, the future of the Xiaohan Kingdom is really not good, it's too bad......"
"You mean, your vicious stepmother and that troublesome stepsister will give ...... the country that your father and emperor have exchanged for their lives," Jing Qiushui analyzed in a low voice.
Wu Tianxiao nodded, her expression serious.
"If I go backβ" Wu Tianjun opened his mouth.
"What can be changed?" Wu Tianxiao asked, "It's good that I can come back alive, I don't want you to risk your life." β
"Can't we go back to our country?" Wu Tianjun asked.
"If Jin'er really wants to brainwash her father, then we can't stop her. Her father was too partial to her. Wu Tianxiao said.
"It's really troublesome, although I'm worried about the fate of the Xiao Han Country, but ......"
"You'd better stay in Yunni Country honestly." Jing Qiushui concluded, "Recharge your energy, wait for the opportunity, there will be opportunities in the future." β
"Qiushui has a point. Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. Wu Tianjun looked at Wu Tianxiao and said.
"I don't want you to leave again, do you hear me?" Jing Qiushui looked at Wu Tianxiao.
"I'll be with you always." Wu Tianxiao said to her.
"Now the eldest brother is back...... But what about Jin Jiaoren? Wu Tianjun was worried about Jin Jiaolai.
"When I got back to the inn, I didn't see her." Jing Qiushui said.
Wu Tianjun proposed: "Let's go to her together." The girl didn't know where to go. β
"I'm fine. But where to start? Jing Qiushui asked.
"Of course, I still go to the place where the intelligence is most active," Wu Tianjun said, "Manchun Tower." β
The three of them came to Manchun Tower together.
"What? Miss Kim, you ask? Isn't she always with you? When she found Su Ji, she said this.
"Do you know where she went?" Wu Tianjun asked.
"I don't know, but my sister probably does." Su Ji only noticed Wu Tianxiao at this time, and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Wu Tianxiao?" It's rumored that you're dead, aren't you still alive?! β
"So it's just a legend," Wu Tianjun said...... "Can you help me ask where Jin Jiao is?" β
"You wait a minute...... Su Ji hurriedly ran into the house, and Wu Tianjun and the others were waiting outside the door.
After a while, Su Jiao came out of the house and said to him, "Jin Jiao seems to have followed a person to the Dragon Palace. β
"Dragon Palace?" Wu Tianjun said, "What's going on now, what is that girl going to the Dragon Palace for?" The Silent Void Gate is already dangerous...... Thank you, Auntie. β
At this time, Ying Lingyan walked up from downstairs.
"Are you going to the Dragon Palace?" She asked.
"Miss Ying, what's wrong?" Jing Qiushui looked at her, "Yes, we are here."
Just going. β
"I ...... Also going to the Dragon Palace. Ying Lingyan said.
"Lingyan? Seriously? Su Ji was very surprised, "I thought you couldn't stand Long Yuan." β
"I just want to make it clear to him face to face, and ask him not to come to Manchun Tower to look for me again." Ying Lingyan said.
"I think so too." Su Ji said.
"In that case, Miss Ying can come with us." Jing Qiushui said.
"Miss Su, is there anything else you can tell us?" Wu Tianxiao asked, "For example, what should I pay attention to when I go to the Dragon Palace?" β
"The Dragon Palace is a place where civilians like us can't enter, but if the people from Jingkong Gate are also there, then I advise you to leave quickly, don't even think about entering the palace." Su Ji said.
"I can't do it, if Jin Jiao is really trapped in the Dragon Palace and needs me, I have to save him." Wu Tianjun said.
Tianjun ...... Wu Tianxiao closed her eyes, worried about her younger brother.
"Big brother, Qiushui, if you don't want to take your own life, I can understand, then I'll save her alone." Wu Tianjun said.
Wu Tianxiao opened her eyes and smiled softly at her younger brother and said, "Fool, what do you say, of course we will help all the way to the end." β
"Be careful on the road. If you need any more information, feel free to come to me. Su Ji said.
They walked out of the Manchun Building and talked outside the building.
"Miss Ying, are you sure you want to do this?" Wu Tianxiao confirmed again.
"Yes, I have already rejected him many times in Manchun Tower, this time I went directly to the Dragon Palace to make it clear in person, I think this is the best way." Ying Lingyan said.
"For Long Yuan, does Miss Ying know something about him? What ordinary people don't know? For example, what weaknesses does he have? Jing Qiushui asked.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not that close to him yet." Ying Lingyan replied with a straight face.
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm just ......" Jing Qiushui wanted to argue.
"I know." Ying Lingyan interrupted her.
"Jin Jiao ran to the Dragon Palace alone? I didn't like the news at all. God knows if she's in danger right now. Big brother, we need to get to her. Wu Tianjun said.
So, they set out on the road together and headed for the Dragon Palace.
