Chu Xingyue knew Xiao Ruiyuan's true identity, but she never expected that the palace on the edge of the town would be erased under such tragic circumstances.

Thinking that that immature and young boy had to carry all this at such a young age, Chu Xingyue felt a little more distressed about him.

Therefore, he pestered Zhao Ling and said: "Then you also have to promise me that during Rui Yuan's time in Great Wei, you must protect him well, since those people are powerful enough to destroy a palace, it can be seen that their strength should not be underestimated; At the beginning, I asked Yuan Feng to accept Rui Yuan as an apprentice, because I took a fancy to Yuan Feng's ability beyond ordinary people, and I would definitely be able to protect Rui Yuan well, but now that Yuan Feng is gone, there are only a few people who can protect him, and among these people, you are the most capable; So, I can only ask you. ”

Zhao Ling didn't expect that Yuan Feng would accept Xiao Ruiyuan as an apprentice because of this, he thought that it was Xiao Ruiyuan who Yuan Feng took the initiative to accept, but he didn't expect that the whole thing was promoted by Chu Xingyue.

It seems that she really cares about this child, and she will think of ways to protect him.

The beauty asked, how could he refuse, Zhao Ling hugged Chu Xingyue in his arms tightly, and promised her: "Don't worry, in King Ling's mansion, in the capital, no one can move him under the nose of His Royal Highness." ”

Zhao Ling's ability Chu Xingyue absolutely believed, and since she had received his personal promise, she was also relieved.

Looking at Chu Xingyue with a smile in his arms, Zhao Ling was also happy, but when he thought of the person in the palace, a layer of frost immediately appeared between his eyebrows.

The identity of the Tianding clan has always been a most unspeakable secret for Yue'er, the world has a deep misunderstanding of this mysterious family, if you want the survivors of this family to one day be truly open to the world, you must find a way to eliminate the world's prejudice against them; And this road is too difficult to walk.

But, for her sake, he was willing to give it a try.

"Yue'er, have you ever thought that one day you can lead the people of the Tianding clan to live here like an ordinary person, you don't have to let them live in a dangerous realm anymore, and you don't have to take them back to the depths of the northern realm, but like a normal person, you don't have to be shrouded in a veil of mystery, and live a plain and simple life like ordinary people."

Zhao Ling's sudden mention of the Tianding clan surprised Chu Xingyue, about this mysterious family, Zhao Ling rarely took the initiative to mention it in front of her, because they all knew very well that this family could not be talked about often, in case it was heard by someone with a heart, I am afraid that the disaster caused would not be able to be summed up in a few words.

Now he suddenly mentioned it, and he said such a thing, which is really intriguing.

Chu Xingyue looked at him playfully and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention this?" ”

Zhao Ling naturally wouldn't tell Chu Xingyue what happened in the palace, firstly, he was worried that she would be worried, and secondly, he was unwilling to let Zhou Yanran's pickled things dirty her ears.

Therefore, hearing Chu Xingyue ask this, he had already found a reason, and said: "During this time, I will only think about this question when I have time, the people of the Tianding clan are mysterious and special, they have all been deified in the mouths of the world, and the massacre a hundred years ago is really too tragic, and the rumors about the Tianding clan are still believed by many people; In this world, as long as there is a desire for immortality, there will be a second and a third Zhuolang. Yue'er, you may be able to protect them for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to protect them for a lifetime. ”

"I've thought about it carefully, the reason why people are so curious about the Tianding clan and have a deep misunderstanding about this family is because this family is so mysterious; They don't want to deal with outsiders and like to live a life of seclusion; naively thought that as long as they didn't take the initiative to provoke others, others would naturally not find them; But they don't know that human greed and lust are the most terrible things in this world, and as long as one person still believes the rumor of immortality, the Tianding clan will never get real peace. ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling and said, "So, what do you want to say?" ”

"Therefore, I think that the people of the Heavenly Destiny should no longer escape from the world; Yue'er, you are the future patriarch of the Tianding clan, in order to be able to find you, they sent Yuan Feng, and they are full of expectations for your return, it can be seen that your influence in the clan must be not small, if you can, I want you to bring all the surviving clansmen of the Tianding clan to Great Wei, don't go back to the depths of the north. ”

Chu Xingyue withdrew from Zhao Ling's arms and stood in front of him, her expression was serious, not as coquettish as she was just now: "Zhao Ling, do you know what your words mean?" ”

Chu Xingyue had seen Zhuo Lang's madness with her own eyes, so no one knew better than her the temptation of the Tianding clan to the greedy people; Isn't it because there are too many people in this world who have bad thoughts about the Tianding clan in the dark all these years?

She couldn't hide her people, so how could he say anything to let them come out and live?

She knew that he had said this with good intentions, but did he know that his good intentions at the moment seemed to her to be full of innocence and ridiculousness; He won't understand the feeling of being targeted, and the next second he may be stewed and eaten as prey, that kind of fear will drive people crazy.

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Yuan Feng's greatest wish in this life is for me to take the people of the Tianding clan back to the depths of the northern realm, to return to their true hometown, and no longer have to live in the poor mountains and bad waters; Do you know why he is so persistent? Because he is very sober, at least more sober than you are now; Zhao Ling, this proposal of yours is really terrible to me, because if this proposal fails, do you know what kind of outcome we will face? The massacre of a hundred years ago will surely befall us again, and by that time, the Heavenly Destiny will really be destroyed. ”

Zhao Ling saw Chu Xingyue's rejection and rejection, quickly stood up and took her hand, and said, "I know this proposal of mine is very risky, but Yue'er, dodging is not a long-term solution, you haven't tried many things, why did you refuse first?" What if, there will be a miracle? ”

"There will be no miracles!"

Chu Xingyue replied categorically, "Zhao Ling, there will be no miracle, if you want me to have a showdown with the world that I am a member of the Tianding clan, then maybe I will consider doing it, but if you ask me to pull the entire clan to do this together, then I'm sorry, I refuse." ”

Chu Xingyue pulled her hand out of Zhao Ling's palm, her eyes flowing with sadness, "I know, I'm not a very brave person in this matter, but I really can't take risks, because once I make the wrong decision, what awaits us is a catastrophe, I don't dare to take this risk, let alone ask those innocent people to accompany me on the adventure; In the past, I always felt that being the future patriarch was a burden, and I felt that why I had to play a time travel, but I had to put on such a strange and strange identity, and many times I wanted to leave the burden on my body and quit; However, until the moment when Yuan Feng exchanged his life for me to survive, I knew that all this was arranged in the dark. I owe Yuan Feng a life, and I owe a life to the Tianding clan, so I have to pay it back; I will do my best to give them peace and bring them home in my lifetime. ”

Listening to Chu Xingyue mentioning Yuan Feng one by one, and seeing that her emotions had become so big when she mentioned the Tianding clan, the strangeness in Zhao Ling's heart began to faintly haunt her again; He began to have some doubts about whether she was so interested in the Tianding clan because of Yuan Feng, or because she was the patriarch of the family.

And what made him even more chilling was that he put forward this opinion purely to help her and the Tianding family, to know their secrets, many people now know them, and now he can rely on his power to suppress those people and dare not talk nonsense, but with Zhou Yanran's madness, he doesn't dare to guarantee when she will blow herself up and make this ulterior secret public.

He was anxious about her safety, but what about her?

As if she regarded him as a bad person, and actually spoke to him with such a look and such a tone, did she really suspect that he was saying these words to the detriment of the Tianding clan?

Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue, who had a lot of mood swings, and took a few deep breaths, knowing that at this time, for their good, they must not argue with her.

Therefore, he looked at her deeply and said, "Yue'er, you are not calm enough now, and you have misinterpreted what I mean, it doesn't matter, you calm down and think about it carefully, this proposal is not forcing you to do it; I'm really just worried about you guys. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ling turned around and walked towards the outside of the room.

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling's back blankly, her mind was indeed a little confused at this time, until Chun Xing came in from the outside in a hurry, she was still a little confused.

Chun Xing looked at the stunned young lady, and then recalled the blue face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, and quickly grabbed Chu Xingyue's hand and shook it gently, "Miss, what's wrong with you and Your Highness?" Wasn't it okay when you had a meal just now? Why did you quarrel in the blink of an eye? His Royal Highness the Prince's face is very ugly, are you arguing fiercely? ”

Quarrel? Was she arguing with Zhao Ling?

Chu Xingyue immediately woke up from her stunned state, grabbed Chunxing's hand tightly, and asked anxiously, "You said Zhao Ling's face is ugly?" ”

"Yes, Miss, what are you doing? His Royal Highness is really good to you, there are so many things in the palace and in the court, but he still finds time to come back to eat with you, you have a headache and brain fever, and he is also anxious about something; Miss, although the slave is your girl, but at this time, the slave and the maid are a little unbearable; In the eyes of the slave maid, I'm afraid that even the prince may not be able to kick the young lady to the tip of his heart like this to His Royal Highness. ”

Chu Xingyue listened to Chun Xing's broken thoughts, and remembered Zhao Ling's injured eyes when he looked at her before leaving, and suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle, lifted the hem of his skirt, and ran towards the door with his legs.

Chun Xing hurriedly caught up, holding on to the door frame and shouting: "Miss, you run slowly, what are you going to do again?" ”

Chu Xingyue didn't reply: "I was confused, I don't know the hearts of good people, and I went to bear the guilt." ”
