Chapter 170: Parting
Xiao Yibai came home from the back door to avoid the crowd, and happened to collide with his younger brother in the backyard, and the two looked at each other awkwardly.
Sensing that the two brothers should have something to say, Yun Xiao avoided it with interest, and waved her hand: "I'll go to the market outside to prepare some pastries for you, ...... you talk."
"Uh......" Xiao Yibai looked at his rare white clothes, he was not used to it, he lowered his head and thought about it, and quickly explained, "I just came back from the Feng family, they said that the aftermath of Master Feng and Feng Siniang will be handled simply, if you want to send the last ride, then ......"
Xiao Qianye smiled slightly, and without waiting for him to finish, he directly refused: "I'll forget it, they didn't like me originally, and it would be troublesome to go." ”
"Oh, too. Xiao Yibai nodded, not surprised, after all, Feiyuan himself didn't pay much attention to these things, he cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Last night's incident, why didn't you go and report the situation to Mingxi? ”
"Does he still need me to report in person?" Xiao Qianye looked at the eldest brother strangely, pointed to the eaves of his house, and reminded, "Those butterflies were sent by Gongsun Yan to monitor, so many pairs of eyes in the governor's mansion stared at the whole process, and he himself borrowed my hand to make plans, and also intimately helped remove the guards on duty at night, in this case, why bother to listen to my report in one move?"
Xiao Yibai hurriedly answered: "That's right, but after all, this is not in accordance with the rules, you have to go through the motions, so as not to fall into the wrong hands." ”
"Let them go. Xiao Qianye waved his hand in annoyance, as if he didn't want to continue to say anything more on this issue, he frowned and thought seriously for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and spoke, "Don't talk to me about these useless things, they can handle it themselves without you and me, big brother, I'm going to go to Dongming, I remember that you said before that you also want to go there to find a way to deal with the sealed Nightmare Heart, you go with me." ”
"Now?" Xiao Yibai's face changed, a little embarrassed, "I did have this plan before, but now...... Right now, my spiritual power has been interrupted, and I can't deal with the Nightmare Heart if I go, and it will only hold you back. ”
"I know, I'm not taking you to Nightmare Heart. Xiao Qianye disagreed, but said more sternly, "It's because you are just an ordinary person now, that's why I want you to go with me, you can't stay in the imperial capital alone, it's too dangerous, staying is really holding me back." ”
Xiao Yibai was silent for a moment, he didn't expect his younger brother to suddenly say such a thing, he inadvertently raised his head and bumped into the other party's eyes, his heart tightened slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do in the East Hell?"
"I ......" Xiao Qianye's eyes lit up, but he looked at his brother with a little vigilance, silently clenched the sword spirit in his hand, and lowered his head, "I'm going to retrieve the ancient dust, it was inserted into the heart of the nightmare by that ancient species, and it is still sleeping at the bottom of the Five Emperors Lake, before breaking the seal of the four realms, I must retrieve the ancient dust." ”
Xiao Yibai raised his head in shock, and subconsciously blurted out: "Retrieving the ancient dust?" is it your own intention, or is it ...... What does that guy mean?"
"Does it matter who it means?" he asked coldly, laughing, "Now that Gao Chengchuan is dead, presumably those test bodies in the dark department have also fallen into the hands of His Majesty Mingxi, he has no worries now, the only person to deal with is the Heavenly Realm, the Five Emperor Lake is located in the depths of the Eastern Underworld, spanning the two forbidden places of the Empty Silence Holy Land and the Valley of Confinement, not only where the Heart of Nightmare is, but also one of the seals of the Four Great Realms, after retrieving the ancient dust, I will first break the seal there." ”
Xiao Qianye's eyes were like water, and he couldn't make a trace of waves calmly, but it stirred Xiao Yibai's heart surging, and he continued: "Don't look at those people at the door of the house now who are climbing the flames and trying to have a relationship with the Tianzheng Mansion, as long as the 'broken' matter is made public, and you and I, as the only people who can help the Heavenly Realm to recover the formation eye, will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, you can't stay, you should know the consequences." ”
Xiao Yibai didn't speak, squeezed his palms hard, and looked up at him with locked eyes, his brother's words were right, for the current Feiyuan people, getting rid of their brothers may be the most direct way.
"Actually, it's useless to get rid of us. Xiao Qianye saw through his thoughts at a glance and sighed, "Mingxi should know, even if there is no us, for the Night King, it is just to spend more time to sacrifice the whole territory again, and there will only be more deaths, so he will take the risk of agreeing to the 'god-killing plan', but I don't trust him, he has always been a thoughtful and well-planned person, he can't gamble on the survival of the whole realm without retreat, he will definitely have other arrangements." ”
Xiao Qianye lowered his eyes, and the sun cast a faint shadow on his cheeks: "I don't want you to be his bargaining chip, you can only be safe by my side." ”
Xiao Yibai smiled bitterly, closed his eyes lightly and exhaled: "Are you worried that one day, Mingxi will also threaten you with me like the Night King at that time?"
"He and the Night King were originally all the way. Xiao Qianye answered without hesitation, and reminded without thinking, "You don't always treat him as the former crown prince, he has reached his current status, and many things are not up to him." ”
"Thousand Nights......" Xiao Yibai just called him softly, but still shook his head, "Dongming and his party are very dangerous, whether it is the Heart of Nightmare or the Five Emperor Lake, you are not allowed to take someone who can't do anything, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"How can I not worry about you?" Xiao Qianye was anxious and reprimanded, "If before, I really didn't worry about you at all, but now that your spiritual power has been interrupted by the Night King, you are an ordinary person who can't protect yourself at all!"
"I stay in the imperial capital to contain Mingxi. Xiao Yibai pressed his shoulder, with a bitter smile in his eyes, and lowered his voice, "Mingxi's physical condition must rely on my soul to maintain, and if I really go that far, I will ...... Make your own choices, even though I don't want to see that day come. ”
"You ......" Xiao Qianye was a little surprised, and inexplicably pinched his sword spirit, feeling the warm white soul on the sword spirit flowing slowly like a clear spring.
The Dafa of Soul Splitting can make the separated soul and the body directly contact, if the body dies, does it mean that the soul and the soul will also die together?
Suddenly realizing something extremely terrifying, Xiao Qianye instinctively grabbed his arm, as if a thunderbolt exploded in his ears, his face instantly turned cold, and he asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?
Obviously unwilling to say more, Xiao Yibai quickly let go of him, waved his hand indifferently, and exhaled lightly: "When did you care so much about my affairs? ”
"Don't talk to me about this, make it clear. Xiao Qianye frowned and scolded, and continued to ask, but the other party quietly stretched out a finger and pressed it on his lips, his face was serious, and he said seriously, "I have already said that you don't have to worry about me, I am your eldest brother, although I may only be a few minutes older than you, but the eldest brother is the eldest brother, you have such a temper, it is really not like a big or small, and before you question me, I also have one thing for you to explain." ”
Xiao Qianye was blocked back by the sternness he raised instantly, and had to force himself to calm down, Xiao Yibai smiled and pointed to the sword spirit in his hand: "Do you also have something to hide from me?"
"What?" Xiao Qianye avoided his gaze weakly, and his mouth was still stubborn.
Xiao Yibai sneered, obviously seeing the clue from that evasive sight, and his eyes slowly cooled: "You still want to continue to lie to me? I felt a little wrong last time, you tell me honestly, what kind of deal did you make with Emperor Zhong, why did he help you deal with the Night King?"
Xiao Qianye shook his head and smiled bitterly, since he was a child, he has not been a person who is good at concealment, and he is always seen to be abnormal at a glance.
"Is it related to Yun Xiao?" Xiao Yibai just remained silent, guiding the words very calmly, and sure enough, seeing his fingers move slightly, he subconsciously clenched the sword spirit.
"He promised me that he would be able to save Ah Xiao. For a long time, Xiao Qianye's eyes glowed brightly, and even his face instantly raised irrepressible anticipation, "Emperor Zhong said, the only way to get her rid of the fate of the half-blood Spirit Phoenix Clan's inevitable early death is ...... Only then can she live. ”
"What about the price?" Xiao Yibai held back the surprise in his heart and continued to ask.
The moment Xiao Qianye heard this, the cold in his eyes slowly weakened, and finally turned into a bottomless ice cave, he turned the sword spirit in his hand, a strange smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and gently made a boo gesture.
Xiao Yibai was stunned for a moment, and the white sword spirit shone slightly under his palm.
Although the Dafa of Splitting the Soul can attach one soul and one spirit to the spirit weapon, and can feel everything through the perception of the soul at any time, if the spirit weapon has another owner, and the soul itself also recognizes it as the master, then the separated soul must be allowed by the master to transform into shape, even if it is the soul attached to the jade wrench finger in Mingxi's hand, he can't really contact Mingxi without permission, but the soul on the younger brother's shuriken spirit seems to have been in an autonomous state and has not had any restraints.
He seemed to be a little surprised, and he didn't give any restraints, which means that Yun Xiao can perceive everything that is happening around him no matter where he is, which is like presenting everything to another person without reservation, even if it is a loved one, it is difficult to really be so honest, right?
But he actually did it, with his brother's cautious personality, he really did it in front of a woman!
"I ...... You—you've surprised me. After a long time, Xiao Yibai had to say a word helplessly, it was not good to ask anything, he paused, groped in his arms, took out a small thing and threw it to his younger brother, and said with a smile, "This thing was damaged last time, I found someone to make up a jade ring outside, and made it into a pendant, you take it, it is a talisman." ”
Xiao Qianye took the thing that the eldest brother threw over, his eyes lit up, it was the family crest of the Tianzheng Mansion, the edges were a little damaged, and now he wrapped it in a circle of white jade rings, in order to contact him, the eldest brother moved his hands and feet on the eyes of the fierce beast, and then he was cut off from the spiritual power rotation, and this thing is just an ordinary family crest.
"Take it, fortunately, I picked out the white jade when I repaired it, and now it's quite worthy of your clothes. Xiao Yibai covered his mouth and snickered, and pointed to his waist, "Do those literati and artists in the Central Plains have that kind of custom, that is, hang a jade pendant on their waist or something?
Xiao Qianye didn't listen to him, and stuffed his backhand into his arms.
"Hey......" Xiao Yi pursed his lips and wanted to say something more, but the other party glared at him, interrupting his broken thoughts, "I don't want to stay in the imperial capital for a long time, and I don't want to go out of my way to tell them, if Your Majesty asks, you can help me explain it casually." ”
Xiao Yibai vaguely agreed: "You will save trouble......"
"Be careful yourself. Xiao Qianye's eyes were still uneasy, he squinted at his eldest brother, and didn't forget to add a sentence before leaving, "Don't mess around, even if you find anything abnormal in Mingxi, don't mess around...... You remember!"
"Got it, got it. Xiao Yibai shook his head in embarrassment and muttered.
The two of them had their own thoughts and looked at each other worriedly.
