234 The struggle for power
Holding the dagger that is as flawless as ice jade, Wen Susu is lying on the bed alone but sleepless, the picture she saw on the task interface just now seems to be still in front of her, and the words of the mist line task have turned gray, as if she is deliberately reminding her of the choice she made (Chapter 234). The direction of Kunshan was also north, so that was one of the reasons why she had to stay one night before heading out on the road, as she had estimated, he was hundreds of miles away from them by now.
Since you don't plan to give him hope, it's better to do something. has come to this point, and the hard rules of the game are no longer the first thing Wen Susu considers, so she will be so resolute when she abandons Suzaku, she will be so calm about Shiyun's departure from the team, and she will leave no room for refusal of Xiang Hao's invitation (the content of the power struggle between the two and three four). Wen Susu breathed a long sigh of relief, then hid the dagger close to his body, closed his eyes, this dagger ...... She'll wait until she needs it to work, and now, it's not the time.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wen Susu and his entourage left Yunxiao Tower and continued north.
Nan Su didn't say a word about why he arrived a day early, and when Wen Susu asked him what he had gained from the sea of sand, he only smiled slightly.
"Although it is not a good feeling to crawl around in that sandy place for a few days, but after all, this trip is not nothing, Miss Susu, when the matter of your trip is over, I can take you to meet the person you have always wanted to see."
Such a mysterious way of answering made Wen Susu's eyelids jump, the person she had always wanted to see...... It came out of Nan Yu's mouth again, so it could only be Shi Yuechen, could it be that he actually found the blazing snow in the sea of sand? And this thought only jumped into her head, and she thought of the rumor about leaving the sand sea.
A sea of sand that has not expanded or shrunk for 9,000 years, even if it is still moving, and she coincidentally comprehended the true meaning of the earthy immortal qi on that sandy land...... From this point of view, the composition of the sea of sand should actually have something in common with the ice lake under the cliff of the Hundred Medicine Valley, if the thing under the ice lake that is the source of the water phase aura is really the cold flame...... Then in the center of the sand sea is actually hidden blazing snow. It makes sense.
Although the time spent with each other is the shortest, Wen Susu always has a special and accurate intuition for Nan Yu, in her thinking, he is not a person who will do loss-making business, so since he is relieved to take her to see Shi Yuechen, it can be seen that even if her guess is not successful, it is not far away.
Wen Susu, who had settled down, looked at him and nodded, "Even so, I'm disrespectful." After giving me the two things, I will definitely exchange them for the one you want. "Wen Susu has never dared to fall behind such a life skill that requires proficiency to hone the art of incense making, so although the recipe left by Shi Yuechen is still a little difficult for her. But in the same way, she is already more than eighty percent sure that she can make what Nan Yu wants. And this can protect the incense that does not disperse for a certain period of time...... Wen Susu's mind suddenly flashed the shadow of Eleven, he was a corpse demon, a demon that was refined by people when he was still alive, if he wanted to...... Maybe it can also help him recover his body (the content of the power struggle between the two and three fours of the royal ****). But these are all later words, even if Eleven is really willing to do this, it will have to be Nan Yu willing to reveal the method first, and the reason why Wen Susu thought of this is naturally related to her own selfishness.
Eleven must have left because he mistakenly believed that she was dead, and after he returned to Hades. As long as she accepts other tasks, then she will no longer have anything to do with her at all, and may even become an undying enemy in some situation, even if Wen Susu has never thought of taking the eleventh route, she definitely doesn't want to have such a tricky potential enemy, so if she can get him out of the Hades Palace. It couldn't be better.
Wen Susu, whose thinking was becoming more and more divergent, didn't notice the slight change in Nan Yu's eyes looking at her, and it wasn't until she heard his smiling voice that she finally turned around.
"Miss Susu, who knows me, then I will wait for your good news."
It wasn't until Nan Yu hadn't only found the Blazing Snow in the sea of sand in just nine days, but had even run back and forth in the direction of the Valley of Hundred Medicines to get the Cold Flame. Such an increasingly unbelievable strength made Wen Susu feel a lot more at ease, and the combat power around her became less and less, when she herself did not have the ability to turn the tide in various adversities for the time being. It was still very reassuring to have such a non-human by their side as Nan Susu, so Wen Susu did not take safety issues to heart during their journey all the way north, and the fact that she did not meet each other one step ahead along the way also made her breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, and when they stood in front of the Phoenix Villa again, she had almost completely calmed down and began to think carefully about the tasks that she might encounter next.
In front of Hua Qianshu, she has analyzed it very clearly, in the direction of due north, the two people she is most likely to meet are Gong Jin and Eleven, Shifang Lianxin Lock will not lie to her, now these two people are staying in their own territory, and after Wen Susu's careful consideration, he finally chose to go to Phoenix Mountain Villa to find out. After all, although the gap between the four famous families and her has reached a point where it cannot be ignored, compared to the mysterious and terrifying Hades Palace, the danger factor of Phoenix Mountain Villa is much smaller.
Anyway, sometimes the face-loving habit that belongs to a famous family is a safer umbrella for a vulnerable group like Wen Susu (the content of the power struggle between the two and three four).
It's just that although she has made enough preparations, when she really looked up at the majestic gate of Phoenix Villa again, she still couldn't help but show the surprise from the bottom of her heart, not only her, but even Lingzhi, Jiuyin and Nan Yu couldn't avoid showing surprise, it was precisely because of the gate in front of them, the golden-red lacquer bottom representing the wealthy family was actually hung with white silk, and the entire mountain villa stretched out in the past There was no end in sight, and this solemn atmosphere, It also made Wen Susu, who had just experienced the tragedy of the Hundred Medicine Valley not long ago, understand at once that Phoenix Villa was actually a big funeral.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, looking at the scene, the person who passed away must be in a high position, I'm afraid it's nothing more than the five masters of the palace family now, but I didn't get any news from Wuxue Building...... I'm afraid that this is also a new funeral, and the news has not yet spread, and the people who should have come have not yet come. "The first person to come back from his surprise was Nan Yu, he was still smiling with a playful smile while knocking his chin with a fan, he didn't feel this dazzling white at all, not just him, even Jiuyin and Lingzhi, after the initial surprise, all that was left was calm, they wouldn't have any sense of substitution to waste their feelings, only Wen Susu felt sorry for him at the same time, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he stayed in this kind of place where the weak eat the strong for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be long, She's about to assimilate into just like them.
"Five hosts...... Who will it be? Thinking about the fact that she had just confirmed Gong Jin's location with the Shifang Heart Lock, this made Wen Susu feel a lot more relieved, no matter what, as long as he was fine, it would be fine......
"Now, you can only know if you go in." Jiu Yin looked up at the almost invisible gate of Phoenix Villa, and smiled very coldly.
"Let's go."
The last time she came here, Wen Susu still had the excitement and curiosity of going out of the valley for the first time, and this time she revisited the old place, the feeling in her heart had completely precipitated, and the four of them walked into the gate so openly, and came to the most solemn golden phoenix spring in the Phoenix Villa, and I don't know if it was the sudden funeral in the villa that made the Phoenix disciples confused, at least they went all the way, although they also met one or two waves of Phoenix disciples who were in a hurry, But they didn't care about their uninvited strangers at all, and even shook it all the way to Jinfengquan, so that they finally met a wave of Zhike disciples who came up to inquire (the content of the power struggle between the two and three four).
"We are ......" Wen Susu opened her mouth and wanted to make it clear that she had come to find Gong Jin, but she only said three words, and her expression was also difficult to hide, and the hurried Zhike disciple had already interrupted her by talking to herself.
"A few of you are here to mourn the eldest prince, right? Please follow me. ”
Although this was far from Wen Susu's original intention, of course he did them a great favor in this way, but he didn't expect that this miserable white was actually for the rather elegant palace family's eldest young master Gong Pu, which still surprised the four of them, but Wen Susu was silent on his face, and just nodded, "It's hard work." ”
The disciples of Zhike were in a hurry, and even their emotions were even a little trance, so they didn't even ask about the origin of these people's teachers, and took them straight into the inner village of the villa, it seemed that they were going to the direction of the main hall, looking at his appearance, Wen Susu probably understood why they came and went so smoothly, but although Gong Pu's death was indeed a big deal, the entire Phoenix Villa should not be tired, and it should not be like this, there should be something she didn't expect......
"Brother Pu is a rare young talent in the world, and he is unfortunate to be so young...... It's a shame. After the Zhike disciple showed them the way, he bowed his head and walked away without saying a word, Wen Susu thought about it in his heart, and naturally he didn't care about asking something, so at this time, when she heard the voice of the spirit at first glance, it made her stunned.
The spiritual ...... that has been silent for the past few days If it weren't for the way he looked today, Wen Susu would have even forgotten what he should be like to outsiders.
"Now that we have been at war with the Heavenly Demons, there will be such a result, and the owner and Mrs. have already been mentally prepared, but I would like to thank a few of them for coming today." Although the Zhike disciple has his own thoughts, he can't just be silent when it's time to talk, but from his few dry words, it is enough for Wen Susu to get a lot of information.
Gong Xuan should have died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon, and the reason why the people in Phoenix Villa were so panicked...... I'm afraid that the power struggle, which has been hidden in private, has been forced to surface! (To be continued)
