Heaven Dou Imperial City, the Grand Palace.

Today's Xueke is dressed more lively than usual.

Her long, pale blonde hair was braided and hung down behind her.

She wore a white fur with a fox collar and a small silver crown on her head, and the purple thorn flower gems on her ears added a touch of majesty to her.

"Stand down."

Xue Ke said to the guards beside him with a flat face.

The chief of the guard bowed slightly, and then walked away.

The red plum blossoms bloom in the Imperial Garden, and the fragrance wafts away in the wind.

"Brother Xiao, you're back!"

Seeing Xiao Ye, who was talking and laughing with Dugu Yan, a touch of joy appeared on Xue Ke's face.

Xiao Ye smiled and nodded: "Long time no see, Ake." ”

Every year in December, Xue Ke holds a plum garden party in the imperial garden of the Imperial Palace.

The main invitation is the former teammates, but unfortunately since the end of the Soul Master Competition, these friends have only gathered once, and they have never been able to get together again.

Since the collapse of the Blue Electric Overlord Sect of Operation Soul Hunting, Yu Xiaoxiao has lost contact until now.

Niu Li also died in the soul hunting operation, Ning Yu has not come out of the shadows until now, and he has never participated in this party again, and Bai Agarwood has gone out to practice, and he has not returned for many years.

It didn't take long for Xiao Ye to go to the Killing Capital again.

That is to say, since the soul hunting operation, there are only three people who have come to this plum garden to gather, namely Xue Ke, Dugu Yan and Ge Yuanhao, who is now the head of the Royal Knights.

Seeing Xiao Ye today is really a rare surprise.

Ge Yuanhao looked at the former captain with complicated eyes.

When he first studied at the Royal Academy, he and Yu Tianheng were still as famous as Xiao Ye. Unexpectedly, he was left far away by Xiao Ye, and now the gap between the two makes him can only look up.

"Is it just the four of us today?"

Xiao Ye's expression was also a little stunned.

Xue Ke nodded, sat down in his chair and said, "It should be just the four of us." ”

"No, and me."

A cold voice sounded in his ears, and the four of them turned back at the same time.

The person in front of him looked twenty-four or five years old, with long hair scattered over his shoulders, but it was black and white. What didn't match her delicate face was her slightly haggard look.

It was Ning Yu who came here.

In the past, she liked to wear gorgeous clothes, but now she is wearing a black plain dress, and all kinds of treasure headdresses have disappeared, looking unusually simple.

"Sister Yu."

Xiao Ye stood up, he wanted to visit Ning Yu some time ago, but was politely declined, which made Xiao Ye also helpless.

The pain in her soul can only be slowly healed by herself, Xiao Ye didn't think about using Hai Xinyan to help her, but Ning Yu gave up, her statement was: "If you forget the happiness of the past, what is the point of false happiness in the future?" ”

The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the past are all things she doesn't want to forget.

Xiao Ye could only respect her choice.

Looking at his teammates in front of him, Ning Yu sighed faintly: "Everyone, long time no see." ”

"It's rare for everyone to come together so much, everyone, say something worth hapting."

Seeing that the atmosphere had fallen silent, Xue Ke couldn't help but open her mouth to adjust it.

Ning Yuqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "Ah Ke is right, everyone is an old friend. I'm sorry for the upsetting of everyone. ”

Then Ning Yu turned her head to Dugu Yan and asked, "Yanzi, I heard that you are going to be a godmother to the little princess of our Nine Treasure Liuli Sect?" Congratulations. ”

After Xiao Ye's daughter was born, Ning Rongrong lost the title of "little princess" of the sect, and instead of her, she became the new treasure of the Nine Treasure Liuli Sect.

Xue Ke also asked with a smile: "Sister Yanyan, are you going to be Xiaoxiaoxue's godmother?" ”

Dugu Yan nodded: "I also like that little girl very much, and Rongrong's personality...... Alas, in my previous life, I didn't know if it was a small enemy, and the mother and daughter were really wrong. ”

Then, Dugu Yan glared at Xiao Ye again: "And some people, as a father, are too failures." Now the children don't let him touch it, and with such parents, I think it's better for me to help take care of them. ”

"And I won't get married in the future, I'll always be alone, and having multiple goddaughters to support the elderly can be regarded as leaving a way out for myself."

Xiao Ye touched his nose a little embarrassed: "Sister Yanyan, I really have something to leave, and I have trouble you to help take care of Xiao Xue'er in the past two years." ”

Just when a few people were laughing and the atmosphere finally eased down, an unexpected person appeared in sight.

The atmosphere was silent again.

Yu Xiaoxiao appeared in front of these old friends for the first time after the fall of the Blue Electric Overlord Sect.

At this time, she has changed a lot from before.

Her fair skin has become tanned, and even in winter, she still wears the cool clothes of summer.

The long flowing hair is also shaved into an inch, and the exposed arms are explosive muscles, giving people a great visual impact.

His wrists and ankles were bandaged, and his feet were bare.

The jade feet, which were once white and flawless, were also tanned at this time, and the toenails looked uncared for, and the cracks in the nails were full of mud, and even heavy calluses could be seen.

A scar that went straight from the top of his left eye to his cheek, making his face no longer as beautiful as it used to be.

"Are you, little lady?"

Xue Ke stood up and looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief, trying her best to connect this "tomboy" dressed as a mercenary with the pearl of the delicate and savage Blue Electric Overlord Sect in her memory.

Looking at her former comrades-in-arms, Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with tears, but she still said in a cheerful tone: "It's me, how is it, did my changes surprise you?" ”

Xue Ke threw herself directly on Yu Xiaoxiao's body and cried: "Little Miss, where have you been all these years?" Why not come to us? How did you become like this? ”

Even if she becomes the queen of a country, she is just a little girl who has just passed twenty.

reunited again, but found that her long-separated best friend had become what she is now, and Xue Ke felt very uncomfortable inside.

Yu Xiaoxiao held back her tears and said in a calm tone: "After the fall of the Blue Electric Overlord Sect, I have been wanted by the Martial Spirit Palace, and the scars on my face are left by those guys. ”

"All these years I have been working as a mercenary among those small countries, honing my will......"

After talking about the experience of these years, Yu Xiaoxiao also felt a lot better, she lowered her head and said: "Even if my potential is completely squeezed out, it will be difficult to become a Title Douluo." ”

"I don't know what happened to Tianheng?"

Xiao Ye sighed, stepped forward and patted Yu Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "Xiaoxiao, Yu Tianheng is dead." ”

Yu Xiaoxiao's expression was stunned: "Impossible!" ”
