When Chu He had just come to the imperial capital and met Zhongzhou and his party, Xu Wanqing, who Chu He hadn't seen for many days, was sitting alone in the room.

If Chu He was here, he would inevitably be surprised when he saw Xu Wanqing's appearance at this time, because the previous changes in Xu Wanqing's physical appearance had not disappeared, but had become more and more strict, and she was almost unable to see her original appearance.

Now Xu Wanqing's hair is longer than before, but it has turned all of it cyan, and her slightly closed eyes occasionally open, revealing her eyes that are completely blue, which seems to be carved out of a mold with the true spirit of the dark water back then.

It's just that the skin of the Stygian Water True Spirit is as white as snow, and Xu Wanqing still has some appearances, but the cold air is constantly bubbling out of her body, and it seems that she is not far from the Stygian Water True Spirit.

Xu Wanqing sat in a circle, her body was eroded by the constant cold, and she couldn't help but tremble for a while, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

This process has lasted for two days and two nights, always paying attention to Xu Wanqing's physical condition, and the Dark Water True Spirit finally couldn't help but speak: "Your body is about to run out of oil, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid that you will collapse before the golden pill is completed!"

Xu Wanqing opened her eyes tiredly, with a streamer in her blue eyes, but she never lost her brilliance, and shook her head slowly but firmly: "If you want to become a Jindan Avenue, how can you not pay a price?"

The Stygian Water True Spirit had already taken shape and was anxiously walking around the room, and it was almost crazy at this time.

She really wants to say that with your qualifications, there will be more than ten years of water grinding work, even if you have boiled it to the golden pill, why rush for a while?

It's a pity that she can't say this, because she knows very well that Xu Wanqing is acting like this, and the reason undoubtedly falls on that guy who has only been cultivating for more than 30 years, but he is already worthy of Jindan, and his strength is ridiculously strong.

When she got the Dark Water Sword at the beginning of the year, Chu He once persuaded her to stay in Yunzhou on the grounds that Jin Dan had not become a monk, and not to go out to wade into troubled waters. So knowing that something big was going to happen in Zhongzhou, Xu Wanqing still stayed in the south obediently, in order to be able to accumulate a lot.

After that, the Yaochi Heavenly Kingdom was born, and the chaos in Zhongzhou was known to the whole world, and Xu Wanqing certainly understood what was going on.

It's just that a few years later, Chu He returned as a real person in Jindan, although Xu Wanqing didn't feel that Chu He had lost the opportunity, but the gap in her heart was unavoidable.

Xu Wanqing's competitiveness is strong, she has never lost to anyone, and she has never taken it for granted that Chu He is stronger than herself, but in fact, until Chu He married Dan, she thought that if the two really fought to the death, she might not lose.

The game of deathmatch is not only to compare the strength of the two sides, but also has an important impact on the situation.

Of course, it's useless to say these now, the gap between Jindan and Zhuji is not one or two hole cards at all, or the so-called strong will can make up for it.

The true spirit of the dark water could no longer be persuaded to do so, and Xu Wanqing continued to accept the baptism of the cold air. The continuous washing of the true meaning of the dark water made her Dao heart more and more ethereal and pure, and the true yuan became more and more condensed, but the burden on her body was also increasing little by little.

Seeing that Xu Wanqing was being eroded by the true intention of the dark water more and more strictly, the true spirit of the dark water could only be anxious on the side, and at the same time, she also hoped that Xu Wanqing would be able to tide over this difficulty, so as to ascend to the sky in one step and achieve the Jindan Avenue.

Now that we've come this far, we can only keep going.

The cold in the room was getting heavier and heavier, but due to the restrictions of the formation laid out by Xu Wanqing in advance, there was not a trace of it outside the room, but at this time, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps outside.

Although Xu Wanqing is concentrating on retreat, she has not completely isolated herself from the outside world, and she can also know what is happening outside. In case of an emergency, she can also go out as much as she can.

It is not the first time Xu Wanqing has heard similar footsteps.

Xu Wanqing's courtyard will be cleaned up every day, she has long been accustomed to it, and those maids also know the rules and will never stay here for too long.

"I heard that the royal family came to the house to propose!"

"Yes! It is said that the four princes are here, and they are likely to inherit the throne in the future!"

"Then isn't our Xu family going to have an emperor's uncle?"

"Who said it wasn't ......"

The laughter of several maids kept coming, and Xu Wanqing was still sitting quietly in the room, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on her face. Of course, the Xu family will not have an emperor's uncle, once he becomes the son-in-law of the Xu family, it means that the prince will never inherit the throne again.

The noise coming from outside did not make Xu Wanqing feel irritable, but instead gave her a sense of reality in the world, and the pressure exerted by the Stygian Water Sword on her mind seemed to have been reduced by a few points at this moment.

It's just that the low voice continues to come, and this time the speaker obviously lowered his voice, and seemed very private.

"By the way, you don't know yet, right? It is said that in addition to the four princes, another prince also came that day!"

"There's nothing to know about this. The other snorted disdainfully, "The other is the Thirteenth Prince, he sneaked into the house secretly, but not to propose marriage, but to come for the old love of the past years!"

"Tell us about it!" This kind of gossip is most in line with people's thoughts, and it immediately attracted everyone to speak.

The maid paused for a while, and after greatly satisfying her vanity, Shi Shiran told what she knew.

"You all know that Xu Zhizhen, who just returned home, brought a girl back, right? In fact, that girl is the old love of the Thirteen Princes, and the Thirteen Princes sneaked in this time just to renew the old relationship, and was discovered by Xu Zhizhen......

The maids gasped when they heard this, and Xu Wanqing in the room was even more stunned.

Of course she knew who the person Chu He brought over was, that was Chu Yanlan, who had also escaped the catastrophe of the Chu family's destruction with Chu He, and couldn't even see through the details herself, how could she have an old relationship with the thirteen princes?

"Then how did Xu Zhizhen do it?" Someone soon asked the question in Xu Wanqing's heart.

"Heh, if it were someone else in our family, maybe it would be enough to teach a lesson, and it would be a royal child after all......" The maid who was stared at by everyone was a little complacent in her heart, as if she was the protagonist of the incident in her mouth.

"But who is Xu Zhizhen? That is a person who has been cultivating outside for many years and has cultivated the Jindan Avenue with his own ability, who doesn't care if you are a royal family or not! I heard that he chased him to the palace of the thirteen princes, and directly abolished the prince's cultivation as a ......."
