Shui Qing Palace returned to its former calm, but Qingxiao's doubts were not dispelled.

Yuxi's sudden death, Bock's unexpected arrival, and the simultaneous appearance of Jingyi and Mengxi forced Qingxiao to notice me again.

"Sister, this child promised to be a waiter for me for three days, and none of you should trouble him for these three days!" Mengxi said lightly.

"Mengxi, I think it's necessary to investigate his identity!" Qingxiao stopped in front of me and said.

Meng Xi chuckled, "His cultivation has broken through the sixth-level Super Holy Spirit, even if his identity is investigated, what do you think you can do with him, sister?" ”

"What do you say? Level 6 ...... Surpass...... Super-Spirit? Qingxiao was startled, and the hand that stopped in front of me instinctively retracted.

"Not only that, but his swordsmanship, illusion, and piano skills have all reached the ultimate level, and if he fights Bock one-on-one, Boke may not be able to defeat him!"

"Could it be that you're the kid Bourke was looking for four years ago!" Qingxiao stared at me with a complicated expression on her face.

Jing Yi stepped forward and came between me and Qingxiao, as Qingxiao's father, he couldn't know his daughter's inner thoughts anymore at this moment, "Listen, I won't agree with you handing him over to Burke, in the past few years with him, I have long regarded him as my best friend, although he is still young, his future achievements are definitely very incomparable." ”

"However, if I let him go, once his cultivation surpasses Boke in the future, he will become the biggest threat to my Thousand Feather Clan!"

"Do you think that without him, the Thousand Feather Clan would have no external threat?" Jing Yi roared.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly seemed to freeze, Qingxiao and Jingyi stopped talking, and after a long time, Mengxi said slowly: "He is the person that the Snow Sakura Elf wants to protect, no one here can touch him, even I can't!" ”

Snow cherry elf? I was stunned, this is the second time I've heard these words, what do they have to do with me, why did Mengxi say that I was the person they wanted to protect?

Seeing that my face was full of questions, Mengxi just said lightly: "You have a good rest tonight, remember to come to my dormitory early tomorrow morning on an errand!" ”

Everyone dispersed, Qingxiao wanted to keep Jingyi, but he refused.

I followed Xiaoying and You'an back to the Drunken Qing Pavilion together, after a night of tossing, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, lying on the bed, I quickly fell asleep, before dawn, no one here will remember my true identity, their only memory of me, only the third-class boy Angel.

The next morning, I arrived at Mengxi's dormitory on time, her dormitory has three floors, the first floor is full of all kinds of jewelry and accessories, the second floor is Mengxi's room, and the third floor is her collection of high-quality guqins and high-quality swords.

"The outside world says that the princess is an excellent piano envoy, and today I see that you are also proficient in swordsmanship!" I took the initiative to find a topic.

Mengxi didn't answer me, just threw me a broom, "Your task is to clean my dormitory inside and out three times a day, I don't like dirty things, if I see a little dust and impurities, you just wait to receive the punishment!" ”

I took the broom and just wanted to speak, but Mengxi had already turned around and went back to the room, and she didn't give me any chance to speak.

On the first day, the second day, and for two consecutive days, Mengxi didn't come out.

I had cleaned her dormitomy back and forth six times, until the early morning of the third day, when I was sleeping in a daze leaning against the corridor on the first floor, Mengxi suddenly appeared in front of me in a nightdress, her hair was scattered, and she was holding half a bottle of leftover wine in her hand.

"Princess, are you alright!"

I don't know if I was drunk and delirious, or if Mengxi did it on purpose, she grabbed the placket of my clothes, and then looked at me with a strange look and said, "What is the relationship between you and the Snow Sakura Elf?" ”

Snow cherry elf? Isn't that what I should be asking you? I thought to myself, for as long as I can remember, there has been a large snow cherry tree forest outside my dormitory, but it wasn't until I saw Jing Yi that I knew that there were snow cherry elves in this world.

"Princess, I'm sorry, I don't know much about the Snow Sakura Elf, so I can't answer your question for the time being, the transaction between you and the Snow Sakura Elf, I've also heard Grandpa Jing Yi say, for the Thousand Feather Clan, you did pay too much."

Mengxi's eyes suddenly moistened, and she smiled to herself and said, "For the sake of the Thousand Feather Clan, I made a deal with the Snow Cherry Elf with myself, hum, even if I cultivate to a high level, there is no future in my life!" With that, she drank the rest of the wine and staggered to the second floor.

The princess's room was lit all night, and she sat alone in front of the window, staring at the snowy cherry trees outside the window in a daze, and she was like a pitiful girl at this time.

In order to soothe her emotions, I went to the open space outside the window to play a soothing song for her all night, I don't know how much she can listen to, I just feel that behind her, there must be many stories hidden.

In the early morning of the third day, I started cleaning from the first floor as usual, and when I reached the second floor, Mengxi suddenly walked out of the room, and she looked at me differently than last night, "Thank you for playing the piano for me all night!" She said lightly.

"It's just a little thing, and the princess doesn't have to take it to heart." I say.

"I didn't expect you, the king of the Thousand Spirit Clan, to really stoop down to be my attendant! I thought you'd be upset, but now it seems like you're adapting well! ”

I chuckled and said, "I promised to be your three-day attendant by no means succumbing to your cultivation of the tenth-level super holy spirit, I only regard it as the experience of my life, however, I am a little interested in the snow cherry elf in the princess's mouth, I don't know if the princess is willing to talk to me in detail!" ”

"If you're interested, I'll tell you about it! You go to the third floor and wait for me, I'll pack up and come up! ”

"Good!" I nodded in response.

Before Mengxi arrived, I had used illusion to transform the entire third floor into an iris canyon, with countless flowers, birds, insects, fish, and a meandering river, which I preferred to the cold walls of the dormitory.

A quarter of an hour later, Mengxi came, and she was completely stunned the moment she pushed the door, "What kind of place is this!" ”

I handed Meng Xi a freshly braided wreath and said, "Forgive me for taking it upon myself to transform your collection into a different scene, this place is beautiful, so I want you to see it too." ”

Mengxi took the garland and looked at it for a long time, "I once wanted to practice illusion, but in the end I gave up, illusion is the most difficult of all skills to practice, although I have a tenth-level super holy spirit cultivation, but after all, I can't understand the mystery, but you, at a young age, you can use this skill freely."

"No matter what kind of illusion, as long as the princess likes it, this illusion is invisible to others except you and me." I said, I took Mengxi to the stream in the middle of the canyon, where the water was clear and the banks were lined with lush jungle. "It's called Iris, and I've been practicing here for a long time."

"It's been a long time since I've left Shuiqing Palace, and I didn't know there was such a beautiful place in the world." Mengxi said as she squatted down to play with the stream at her feet, "The flowers here are much more interesting than the snow cherry tree outside my dormitory. ”

"Speaking of snow cherry blossoms, there is a large snow cherry blossom forest outside my dormitory, could it be that they are also left there by the snow cherry elves?" I asked, standing behind Mengxi.

"Well, since you were born, you have been targeted by the Snow Sakura Elves, including the red mark on your chest, which was also left by them."

"But grandpa told me that the mark was left by him, why did he become a snow cherry elf again?" I wondered.

Meng Xi smiled lightly, "Do you think that with King Lan Zi's cultivation, you can seal your spiritual power?" In order to save your life, your grandfather Lan Zi spent 50 years of lifespan to make a deal with the Snow Sakura Elf in exchange for the red mark, the mark has two functions, one is to replace your incomplete heart, so as to continue your life, and the other is to moderately suppress your spiritual power, so as not to suffer from the backlash of spiritual power. ”

"50-year life !??" I was shocked to realize that my grandfather had made a deal with the Snow Sakura Elf for me, and I didn't know anything.

"The Snow Cherry Elf refused to ask for the life of King Lan Zi at first, but Lan Zi thought that they were unwilling to save you, and insisted on using their life to make a deal with them, and the Snow Cherry Elf couldn't resist Lan Zi, so he had to promise him to use 50 years of life to exchange the mark on your chest, however, since you were born, the Snow Cherry Elf has always helped you intentionally or unintentionally, and that time you almost drowned in the Sea of Mist, and they spent their cultivation to pull you back from the death line."

My mood suddenly became excited, "Isn't it an accident that my blood has been able to blend with the snow cherry blossom petals since I was a child?" ”

"I also learned later that your blood and snow cherry blossoms can fuse to bring dead flowers and plants back to life, maybe this is the fate between you and the snow cherry elves, I once asked them why, but they didn't tell me anything."

"Can I meet them, then?" I then asked.

Mengxi shook her head, "They will naturally appear when they want to see you, you just need to know that everything you have now is earned by everyone's hard work, don't let down everyone's hard work." You are different from me, one day, you will gain more cultivation and spiritual power, but I can only count the few days left in this dormitory and die alone. ”

I glanced back at the poor girl, and at that moment I began to sympathize with her.

"Is there anything that can be done to change this ending?" I asked slowly.

Mengxi was silent for a moment, and then muttered, "There is a way, but I don't want to accept it." ”

"What's the solution?" I asked.

"That is to exchange all my current cultivation and consciousness for a hundred years of life, of course I will not agree, if I lose my cultivation and consciousness, I will become a helpless fool, I would rather die than let myself become like that!"

I was silent for a moment, Mengxi said that everything was beyond my ability, and I might not be able to help her with anything but listening.

"After so many years, I have slowly allowed myself to accept this ending, and the only thing I am worried about now is that I have worked so hard for more than ten years of peace, after I leave, can I still be as peaceful as now?"

“......”

"Xingcan, can you promise me that when you cultivate strong enough, protect my clansmen for me!" Mengxi said suddenly.

"I ......," I was stunned, "The princess laughed, I am not from the Thousand Feather Clan, how can I interfere in the affairs of the Thousand Feather Clan...... Besides, I don't even know what the Hui Thousand Spirit Clan will face. ”

"As long as you agree to my request, I can guarantee that in the next ten years, the Thousand Spirit Clan will not suffer any more invasion from the Thousand Shadow Clan, and you will have enough time to improve your cultivation and spiritual power!"

"Didn't you say that the Snow Cherry Elf wouldn't allow you to leave the Shuiqing Palace? How could I agree to let you go to the Thousand Spirits! ”

Mengxi smiled to herself, "As long as it's something related to you, they'll agree!" ”

......

We stayed in Iris Canyon all day, it was late at night when I came out of the illusion, I had decided to return to the Thousand Spirits Clan the next day, thinking back to the first day of the Thousand Feather Clan, I had not slept all night in the Drunken Qing Pavilion, and tonight, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

I sat on the top of the Drunken Qing Pavilion and painted a painting all night, on the canvas, it was the iris canyon that I had spent during the day, Mengxi did not sleep, she kept leaning against the window on the second floor of the dormitory and staring at me.
