Although I was surprised, after all, as the lord of a city, Suzaku was ready in the blink of an eye.

"Greetings to Ye Yixi's son, Miss Ai Xue-"

After all, as the city lord of the Binghua Empire, Suzaku had no obligation to salute Ye Yixi and Ai Xue, but with Ye Chen's name, she could only bow respectfully and welcome the two.

"Suzaku City Lord doesn't need to be polite—"

Without letting Ye Yixi and Ai Xue speak, the pavilion master of the Flying Bird Pavilion said first.

"It's really worthy of being the master of Baihua Pavilion, I really don't know how to converge ......"

Suzaku, who was warning in a low voice, did not listen to the words of Baihua, the head of the Asuka Pavilion, and still maintained a bowing posture.

"The Vermilion Bird City Lord doesn't need to be polite, how can the senior sister of the Emperor's aunt salute our juniors. ”

Holding the gorgeous clothes that Baihua forcibly asked to change into, Ye Yixi took Ai Xue's little hand and bowed respectfully in return.

"Senior brother, senior sister-"

Stepping out from behind Suzaku, Yue Ling'er came to the two of them and bowed.

Although Baihua, who was rejected by Suzaku, was not discovered because of the veil, a resentful temperament still came out of his body.

"Yiyi Childe, Miss Xiaoxue, please use this place as a post station to rest......"

Not allowing the two to refuse, Baihua turned to the guards on both sides of the road and ordered.

"You are responsible for the safety of Yixiao Gongzi and Miss Xiaoxue, remember to be close to you. ”

"Yes—"

In the response of the woman in white who covered her face, Baihua's body turned into a white dove and disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble the Vermilion Bird City Lord for a while in the future. ”

Politely expressing his apologies, Ye Yixi used his etiquette to win the right to live temporarily in the city lord's mansion.

Xiaoguang's temporary mansion in Suzaku Castle

"Peaches, white vegetarian, it's time to eat. ”

From the kitchen to bring the prepared meal to the table, Li Li called out to the two chatting in the courtyard.

"Eh, don't we have to wait for Senior Le Jie and Senior Sister Tian Tian to come back?"

Without walking back to the room, Bai Su asked Li Li.

"No, let them go to the two-person world today. ”

The usual image of the Heavenly Maiden Valkyrie is completely gone, and Li Li at this time completely looks like a good wife and mother.

"Momoko, go and wash your hands obediently first. ”

Gently patting the little hand of the peach that she wanted to steal, Li Li's whole body exuded a gentle light like a mother.

"I always feel that the relationship between Senior Sister Li Li and Peaches seems to be very good...... Saying that it is sisters is more like the feeling of mother and daughter. ”

When Bai Su said this, Peach's smiling face suddenly turned red.

"Of course, I'm the one who has always taken care of Momoko. ”

"It's always been? Didn't Senpai and Momoko meet in the Holy Light?"

Regarding Li Li's answer, Bai Su asked in surprise.

"Indeed, I haven't told you yet?"

"What?"

"Actually, Peaches and I came from afar, and Peaches and I grew up together. ”

"Really? Can I hear about the past between Senpai and Momoko? I've lived with my uncle in the Phantom Forest for as long as I can remember, and I've never been outside of the Holy Light, and I don't know how other people lived when they were young. ”

"Yes. But ......"

With a smile on her face, Li Li took the two schoolgirls to clean up before meals.

Before returning to the dining table, in a warm atmosphere like family, Li Li began to tell the story of the past.

“...... My hometown is a small village on the border of the Binghua Empire, but under the guidance of my parents, I have always lived in the peach family, where my father was the lord of Peach City. My father was chosen as the personal guard of the castle lord because of his martial arts, and it was for this reason that my mother and Momoko's mother became good friends......"

As darkness approached, the streets of Suzaku City began to become scarce. The eye-catching red-haired boy and the beautiful long-haired girl are even more eye-catching.

"It's obviously one of the four protectors of the capital of the Binghua Empire, why can't you see people so early?"

For Tian Tian, who grew up in the Holy Light, it was obviously an abnormal thing for the streets to become fewer people so early.

"I don't know, but the atmosphere feels dangerous. ”

Le Jie, who stopped, looked at the empty night sky, and finally discovered the reason why he felt weird.

"Fireflies? Why are stars fireflies?"

"Of course, it's because it's to protect the city where the Ice Hua Empire keeps its secrets. ”

Not Tian Tian's voice, but the voice of a strange man who had never heard it before.

'Completely unfounded......

Surprised, Lejie reacted quickly, grabbed Tian Tian's hand and quickly retreated.

"Such a fast reaction speed, you really are not an ordinary person......"

The eyes of a young man dressed in the same color as his hair were full of interest, and he looked at Le Jie's body.

"Are you a member of the Light, a law enforcement team, a nightblade, or a new Saint?"

"No comment......"

"At least tell me if you're a member of the Light, or ......"

"Or else?"

Feeling the strange aura emanating from the man, Le Jie subconsciously protected Tian Tian behind him.

"I don't even know how to intercede with the captain for you......"

Before the man's voice disappeared, a woman with a pitch-black ink-like light had already appeared above Le Jie and Tian Tian.

"Spiritual Barrier—"

His left hand was raised to form a blood-red spiritual power protective shield, and Le Jie stretched out his right hand to pull the blood-red wings behind Tian Tian and spread out to escape quickly.

"Haven't replied to my question yet, so it's a bit rude to just leave. ”

The man's chuckling voice appeared, and Le Jie found that his way and exit had all been blocked.

"I should be able to do it now......"

In the uncertain words, the blood-red spiritual power in Le Jie's left hand quickly began to gather.

"No wonder it will interest the captain, what an interesting person......"

As he spoke, the dark spiritual power in the man's hand also began to gather rapidly.

"Ahhhhh

With a heart-rending shout from behind, the blood-red knight's spear in Le Jie's left hand finally took shape.

"Spike—"

The wings flapped wildly, and a blood-red whirlwind appeared under Le Jie's feet.

In the next moment, Le Jie and Tian Tian rushed forward at a speed beyond the sound.

The pitch-black spiritual power shield that the man gathered spiritual power turned into couldn't even stop Le Jie for a second, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into particles and dissipated in front of the blood-red spear.

"Damn......"

Looking at the wound left by the blood-red spear on his abdomen, the man smiled hideously. Then, wrapped in a strange black aura, the wound on his abdomen began to squirm, and finally even the black clothes returned to their original state.

"Captain?"

Looking back and looking down, he found that the woman was still rushing towards with a fierce appearance, and the man was helpless with his face and used his body to meet the black blade in the woman's hand.

"Kill two?"

After her face was wet with blood, the woman finally regained her senses.

One of the most luxurious residences in Suzaku City

Ye Yixi and Ai Xue, who were the messengers of the Holy Light, and Suzaku City, the city lord of Vermilion Bird City, prepared a luxurious banquet for the two of them and the princess who had not returned to China for a long time.

From the high-level treatment that Ye Chen had never enjoyed alone, Ye Yixi and Ai Xue successfully stayed until the end of the banquet because of their status as Holy Light and the presence of the eighteen guards of the Bird Pavilion.

After the banquet and the celebrities and magnates of Suzaku City had communicated, Ye Yixi and Ai Xue finally returned to the resting palace prepared by Suzaku for the two of them under the personal escort of the guards of the Asuka Pavilion.

“...... Brother, how did you succeed?"

"Hmmm......"

Under Ai Xue's shout on the side, Ye Yixi opened his closed eyes.

"I know most of the formations in this mansion, but I didn't leave this mansion quietly without letting them know about it. ”

"But I don't feel anything. ”

"Of course, the formations that envelop this mansion are all spatial formations, and they are also formations that are performed in multiple repetitions. ”

As he spoke, Ye Yixi took out stacks of white rune paper from the jade of Xiaoguang.

"Isn't this a special rune paper for casting [runes]? why do you have so many of them?"

"This is a new formation that I just learned from my master: spells, and I don't know if I can succeed when I cast it for the first time......"

There were hundreds of pieces of white paper piled up all over the table, and Ye Yixi's whole body released a faint purple spiritual light, and lilac patterns began to appear on the white paper that echoed with it.

"In the form of a white dove, let's fly—"

The necessary incantation was chanted, and the wind appeared in the room, and hundreds of runes flew in the air, all of which were instantly cut into pieces by the wind.

But in the next moment, countless miniature white doves, no bigger than their fingers, appeared in the scraps of paper and flew through the cracks in the doors and windows to the stars.

"Huh?"

As soon as the white pigeon was released, Ye Yixi immediately received information from the outside world.

"The men in black, judging by their actions, they shouldn't be the knights of Suzaku City, and they can't see the symbol of the Asuka Pavilion......"

"Could it be that you met ...... at the altar today?"

"Came to ......"

Before Ai Xue's words were finished, Ye Yixi interrupted it with a loud shout.

"Be bold, dare to break into the territory of my Bird Pavilion-"

With a roar, all eighteen Bird Pavilion guards guarding around Ye Yixi and Ai Xue's room appeared.

"Brother, what should we do?"

"You don't need to make a move, these eighteen guards are very strong. ”

Ye Yixi said that this went before the window and opened the window.

As Ye Yixi said, the man in black who rushed to the mansion when the two of them just said a few words had been suppressed.

"It's over......"

I didn't expect the guards of the Bird Pavilion to be so strong, and the men in black found the right time to evacuate from the mansion one after another.

"At least leave me a ......"

Taking out a brand new rune paper from the Jade of Dawn, Ye Yixi injected spiritual power into it and threw it with all his strength towards the man in black closest to the window.

"Immovable gold bondage—"

The rune paper turned into golden particles in the purple light, forming a spiritual power shield that imprisoned the actions of the man in black.

Bang –

The man in black, who had lost his mobility, fell straight to the ground, and was instantly surrounded by the guards of the Asuka Pavilion and the knights of Suzaku City.
