Chapter 220: The Underground Palace
Su Nian followed the two masked men all the way to get rid of the people who wanted to kill him, and then at the signal of the masked man, he got into a wildebeest carriage that had been prepared a long time ago.
The two masked men were silent along the way, and it was not until dusk that the wildebeest turned into a house and stopped.
Su Nian got out of the car and consciously followed one of the masked men into the living room. When he saw the person sitting in the middle of the living room, he almost dropped his jaw in shock: "Third prince, why are you?"
"Why not me?" Rong Yuan looked at Su Nian's shock with interest, and said in a slightly sympathetic tone: "It must be uncomfortable to be hunted down by your beloved woman, right?"
"Nonsense, the princess can't do this to me!" Su Nian subconsciously retorted. The hurried tone sounded more like a desire to cover up under some kind of heartbreak.
How sad is it that the girl he has guarded for more than ten years wants to erase his existence because of the failure of a mission?
Seeing Su Nianse's fragility, Rong Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "Really, maybe I heard it wrong." But if you misheard your princess and his brother's plan to kill you, how could I accurately save you when you were attacked? ”
Rong Yuan chuckled, making Su Nian's face so embarrassed that he couldn't do it. Rong Yuan's words were clearly mocking him for not believing the facts. But what embarrassed Su Nian even more than this was......
"Third prince, aren't you going to marry the princess to be your princess? Why are you still sabotaging her plan and saving the people she wants to get rid of?"
Rong Yuan didn't answer his question, but praised him: "It's a dead heart, this situation is still worried about your princess, if Ding Rou knew that you were so loyal to her, would she be willing to get rid of you?"
The answer, of course, is...... Yes!
Because of this answer, Su Nian's eyes dimmed for a moment. When the mission failed and went to Ding Rou to restore his life, he didn't feel the disgust and killing intent in Ding Rou's eyes that he didn't have time to take back. But I still think that after more than ten years of protection, even if I can't let the other party treat him differently, at least there is a little affection. That's why he cheekily begged to stay with her.
Unexpectedly, it was this request that made Ding Rou make up her mind to get rid of herself. When he guessed that the person who killed him was someone sent by Ding Rou, that kind of heartache can only be known by those who have experienced it.
"Since Ding Rou is so ruthless and unrighteous, do you want to take revenge?" Seeing that he was really caught in grief by his own words, Rong Yuan tempted: "More than ten years of guarding, but in exchange for such a result, I am not worth it for you." ”
"...... you" Su Nian opened his mouth, wanting to ask if Rong Yuan had been moved by Ding Rou and verbally made a marriage contract. Why do you say such a thing? But the question that reached his lips rolled for a week, and then he swallowed it back.
What else is there to question? Rong Yuan even caught him and knew his identity. What else is not clear? Presumably Ding Rou's actions to please him before were all known to the other party, right?
"If you don't want to take revenge on her, it's okay. Seeing that Su Nian didn't answer his words, Rong Yuan patiently changed directions and guided: "Do you want to get her?"
Hearing this, Su Nian looked up at him suddenly. I saw Rong Yuan smiling like a fox, like a demon who tempted him to fall into the abyss: "As long as you do me a favor, I will help you get her, so that she will always belong to you......"
The next day, the last session of the college exchange competition. Nie Fang lived up to Xia Guo's expectations and won the championship of the spirit master level. Yan Liang lost to the seeded players of the First Academy and won the third place. But such achievements still made Xia Guo a lot of limelight.
In addition to the unexpectedly poor performance of the Spirit Disciple Realm, the top three or six places at the Spirit and Spirit Master levels, the Royal Academy actually accounted for five!
Such an achievement made the elegant smile on the face of Paine, who was responsible for awarding the top three in each realm, almost unbearable.
"Xia Guo has really produced a lot of talents in recent years, which is enviable. Painfully distributing the prizes that were originally going to be awarded to the outstanding students of Beiqiu to Gu Lingzhi and the others, Paine's heart was about to break.
Knowing that this would be the result, he didn't pay out of his own pocket to fund the exchange competition in order to show Beiqiu's wealth, and added so many rewards to the top three places, and now most of them are cheaper than Xia Guo's, which makes him feel how aggrieved, but he still has to make a gentle appearance Congratulations to everyone who wins the award, than every time Pan Yue's bastard does something bad and stabs his father, but every time he is easily forgiven by his father, he is even more aggrieved.
On the contrary, Rong Yuan's high spirits, in the face of Paine's insincere approval, he replied with a smile as if he hadn't heard it: "Your Beiqiu is also good." If it weren't for that * light enemy that allowed the spirit to take advantage, the ranking of the spirit level would be completely different. ”
"Hey, if you lose, you lose, Miss Gu is talented, even if she is prepared, there is still a ground-level spirit sword that has not been shot. * Lose unjustly. ”
Although he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could hear that Paine was mocking Gu Lingzhi for only using the power of the spirit sword, and he was not an opponent who went all out.
The award ceremony on the last day of the exchange competition ended in the back and forth between the two people.
It was night, and Gu Lingzhi, who was staying in the room, was counting the rewards he got today. The reward for first place is so generous that it can turn a person who has nothing into a small rich man. The entire First Academy was also immersed in the relaxed atmosphere of the end of the competition.
Suddenly, Gu Lingzhi, who was counting the prizes, felt a shock under his feet, followed by a shook, as if some ancient beast had come out of the earth. The whole world is shaking.
Wei Hanzi, who was guarding outside, rushed in as soon as possible, picked up Gu Lingzhi and ran outside the dormitory, saying as he ran: "It's not safe here, let's go out first!"
When he went outside, Gu Lingzhi saw Tianfeng Jin and the others who had just rushed out of the dormitory. And on the road in front of the dormitory, there are more people appearing. They all looked at their feet in shock.
The Tianyuan Continent has dense geology, and there are very few earthquakes. Earthquakes like this are extremely rare, which can already affect houses. How did this suddenly happen?
Not long after, Rong Yuan also rushed over from a distance. Seeing Gu Lingzhi standing there unharmed, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Stood by her side, in case of any change that might arise at any time.
The strong tremor lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually weakened, and when the last trace of tremor was gone, a place south of the First Academy, on the outskirts of Yancheng, suddenly bloomed with a terrifying brilliance, and the dazzling golden yellow reflected half of the sky as if it were a white sun.
"That's ...... Secret Realm?" Rong Yuan frowned and muttered. Then he quickly calculated in his heart how many benefits Xia Guo could get from it.
To be able to have the momentum before, the scale of this secret realm must be not small. There's a good chance there's a crazy treasure hidden in it. The wealth is moving, no matter how strong Beiqiu is, with the presence of people from so many countries now, it is impossible to swallow this secret realm alone, he must know the situation as soon as possible, so as to report it to Xia Guo as soon as possible.
This idea is quite long, but in fact, it is a breath of time that is formed in the brain. Rong Yuan had already unfolded his body technique, half-hugging Gu Lingzhi and rushing towards the direction where the golden light came from.
There were many people who did the same thing as him, and on the half of the ground illuminated by the golden light, many figures rushed there. Gu Lingzhi understood his thoughts after being led by Rong Yuan after running a few steps, and held Rong Yuan's hand around her waist with his backhand, and also carried the swallow wing trick under his feet and galloped forward.
It's a matter of chance, and the first to get the most benefits.
It took nearly an hour for the two of them to finally see the culprit responsible for tonight's movements.
It was a huge pit. To be precise, the entrance to an underground palace. The staircase paved with gold and stone extends from the place where the ground has collapsed into the depths, and the golden light that illuminates half of the sky comes from the bottom of the stairs. From the appearance, you can see the extraordinaryness of this secret realm.
At the edge of the steps, Paine and a few others were already standing there looking. Seeing the two of them coming, surprise flashed in his eyes, so he stepped forward with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly." I also arrived so quickly with the help of others, and I deserve to be the first person in the Spirit Realm this year and the person most likely to become a god, which is always so surprising. ”
"The second prince has an overreputation, and we are just stronger. Rong Yuan said modestly. His eyes swept over the people behind Paine without a trace, and his heart was slightly shocked.
After a cursory sweep before, he found that several people were at least in the Spirit Monarch Realm, and among them, the young man in the purple robe was so deep that he couldn't sense it at all, at least it was also the cultivation of the late stage of the Spirit Saint. What's more, the existence of demigods. I think it's a member of the older generation of the North Hill royal family.
The fact that these people arrived here so quickly is enough to show that they care about this secret realm.
"Outstanding body is also a kind of strength. Paine sighed, the greed in his eyes flashed, and he regained his elegance and said, "I must have made such a big move before I saw this secret realm." At the entrance to this secret realm, there may also be a terrorist mechanism laid by the predecessors. If we want to go in with the strength of a few of us, it may be dangerous, why don't we wait for everyone to arrive, and then let's go down and have a look?"
"It's fine. Rong Yuan nodded. Although he didn't believe much in Paine's words, he also knew that a secret realm of this scale would never be allowed to be entered without defense, otherwise there would not have been such a big movement before.
Knowing that he couldn't go down for the time being, Rong Yuan's eyes turned to a few people facing the steps with ugly faces.
"I don't know who these are?"
"This is a few of my elders, frightened by what I just saw, and came to see what was going on.
