171 The Past
Xue Xi looked back at the girl and looked her up and down. The girl was inexplicably looked at by Xue Xi, so she couldn't help but ask again, "Well, that, I... Looking at the girl in front of her who was not much different from herself, the girl couldn't find the corresponding words to call Xue Xi for a while. "Hehe, your grandmother and I were sisters at the Royal Academy. If you don't mind, you can call me Auntie. "Royal Academy?" the girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that you are Aunt Xuexi that grandmother often mentions?" Xue Xi looked at the sky outside the window with some embarrassment, "Can you tell me about your grandmother? I haven't seen her since I left the Silver Moon Empire." I didn't expect to pass away now. ”
Xiyue, that is the girl, looked at Xue Xi carefully for a long time before she spoke, "My name is Xi Yue, and my grandmother often tells me about Aunt Xue Xi." said how powerful Aunt Xuexi is, strong and good cooking, very good person, or something. My grandmother didn't forget Aunt Xuexi before she died, and she told me that if I could see my aunt, I would say hello to her. "Yes. Xue Xi glanced at Xiyue slightly gloomily, "The world is ups and downs, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already a matter of fact." None of sentient beings can escape the suffering of these six realms of reincarnation. But there is a perennial concern for your grandmother. By the way, you are the princess of the Ice and Snow Empire, right?" The reason why Xue Xi was so sure was because the armor worn by the previous guards was all the standard armor of the Ice and Snow Empire, and the characteristics were clear at a glance.
"Yes, I'm just a pawn. Xiyue said sadly, and her tone also revealed deep helplessness and exhaustion. "The matter of Gong Yu is helpless, Xin is not willing to marry into the Ice and Snow Empire, right?" Although Xin behaves so unabashedly every day, Xue Xi can still see that she likes Jun Aotian. But the goddess had intentions, and King Xiang had no intentions, but in the end she fell victim to politics. Sure enough, as Xue Xi guessed, Xin is just Ivan's adopted daughter, and her status is not high, and after Ivan's death, Xin's status has plummeted. But no matter what Xin's status is, the princess is always a princess. After Finn ascended the throne, in order to consolidate the power of the empire, he had to choose the ice and snow empire to form an alliance, and the price of this alliance, or the bond, was Xin's marriage.
Finn is a very talented and ambitious man, but the Silver Moon Empire he inherited has been greatly damaged. The guards can be replaced, and the emperor can also be replaced, but the god-level masters, who are the pillars of the empire, have no way to replenish them. After analyzing it, Fein chose the weakest ice empire, and after a series of negotiations, the two empires formed an alliance. Perhaps in order to deepen the stability of this temporary alliance, both empires thought of marriage. Xin, as Ivan's adopted daughter, was ruthlessly abandoned by Finn. Xin is not Xue Xi, she doesn't have the strength to rebel against an empire, even the Silver Moon Empire after a great injury. Even if he was helpless and unwilling, Xin had to marry into the Ice and Snow Empire. This is politics, as long as there is interest, everything can be sacrificed, there is no so-called human favor.
After marrying into the Ice and Snow Empire, Xin's life is not good. Xin's husband doesn't like her, and Xin often stays alone in the empty room. This situation did not get better until after the birth of Xiyue's father. Xin put his mind completely on Xiyue's father, but he barely alleviated the pain. When Xiyue's father grew up, he unexpectedly got the appreciation of the Ice and Snow Emperor. Under the cultivation of the royal family, Xiyue's father grew up to be a qualified and excellent emperor, and Xin's status has also risen greatly. After so many years of crawling in the palace, Xin has also adapted to that kind of life. Intrigue every day, trying to climb to a higher position step by step. In the end, Xin's mother became the queen mother of the Ice and Snow Empire with her son, and it can be said that her status is unique for a while. Xiyue is Xin's direct granddaughter, and she is very favored by Xin.
Originally, with Xin's protection, Xiyue could live a carefree life. But the world has changed so unexpectedly that the mainland has begun to become restless again. Decades have passed since the war, but ambition can never be buried. The most powerful empire in the Starlight Continent, the new emperor of the Dark Moon Empire is not willing to share the world with others. The Dark Moon Empire had been secretly mobilizing troops and horses before, but there was no impermeable wall in the world. The Darkmoon Empire's anomalous behavior was soon discovered by agents from other empires. The Garo Empire, the Silver Moon Empire, and the Ice and Snow Empire also acted covertly. In terms of strength alone, the Garo Empire is far inferior to the current Dark Moon Empire, and the three major empires have faint intentions to alliance. The Ice Empire and the Silver Moon Empire were originally alliance states, and in the face of the imminent rise of possible storms, the weaker Ice and Snow Empire is now coming to further deepen this alliance.
The fastest way to deepen the relationship is to get married, and Xiyue is the heroine of this marriage. It's just that Xiyue grew up listening to the stories of Xuexi and Xin since she was a child, and the rebellion in her heart is not understandable to ordinary people. For the sake of his so-called freedom, Xiyue has been trying to escape. But so far, there has been no success, either they were arrested within a few days, or they were blocked before they escaped. Seeing that they had arrived at Silvermoon City, the capital of the Silver Moon Empire, the guards also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they would soon be able to hand over errands when they arrived here. Xiyue took advantage of the guards to sneak out accidentally, but it didn't take long to be found. Fortunately, Xue Xi defeated those guards, otherwise Xiyue would have been regarded as being captured. In that case, Xiyue will never have a chance to be free.
Xiyue said everything intermittently, and Xue Xi listened silently. Xue Xi, who has already reached the realm of the Yuan Infant Stage, has become much indifferent to the worldly life, and this time she just came back to worship Alina. If you go to those places in the Xingyao Continent that you haven't been to yet, the Xingyao Continent doesn't have anything worth remembering for Xuexi. And at that time, Xue Xi may break through the seal set by Purple Flame and go to the wider world outside. To be honest, if the conditions don't allow it, the cultivation realm is the place where Xue Xi wants to go the most. "So that's the case, it seems that the Star Continent has changed a lot in the years I have been in retreat. Xue Xi sighed faintly, the unintentional mistake of the year actually created such a situation, the world has changed, but the real thing affects the whole body.
"Don't you really want to get married?" Xue Xi asked as she looked at Xiyue very seriously. Xi Yue didn't think about it, so she replied, "I don't want to be a victim of politics. I hope that my destiny can be in my own hands. Looking at Xiyue's determined look, Xue Xi seemed to see herself. That's what I said to Alina. "Eh, it's just a favor for you, and by the way, it's also a matter of love between me and Xin. Xue Xi was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke. Xiyue listened to Xue Xi's words and instantly looked at Xue Xi hopefully, "Auntie, can you help me?" "Little girl, no one in this world can help you forever, and the only person you can rely on is yourself in the end." I won't stay in the Star Continent for too long, so I can't help you much. Xue Xi smiled indifferently, and her fluttering tone made Xiyue feel a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mentality.
Xue Xi nodded appreciatively, "Good mind." If you want to be free, come with me. There is a place where you can live freely with peace of mind. "Ahh Xiyue looked at Xue Xi in surprise, she thought that Xue Xi would not help her, but she didn't expect Xue Xi to be willing, the huge contrast made her head turn for a while. "Let's go, don't be stunned. "After the snowy night of cherishing the moon, I didn't bother to continue to stay. She dropped some money, got up and walked outside. Xiyue chased after her in surprise, "Great! I don't want to marry that waste bastard Seven Princes!" Xue Xi glanced at her slightly sideways when she heard this, and kept walking under her feet. Xiyue was immersed in great joy and didn't say anything. So a few people walked quietly towards the east gate of Silver Moon City, but of course Yun Xi was asleep.
Xue Xi and the others were about to reach the city gate when they suddenly heard the sound of a large group of people running behind them. Xue Xi frowned slightly, "It seems that those people still don't give up." Xiyue was startled, and hurriedly turned around and looked back. A mixed team of hundreds of people was hurrying towards Xue Xi and them, with not only the guards of the Ice Empire but also the guards of the Silver Moon Empire in the middle. Xue Xi allowed those people to surround her group. The captain who had suffered at Xuexi's hands stepped forward, pointed at Xuexi and said to the leader, "It was that woman who prevented us from bringing the princess back." The leader nodded slightly, smiled elegantly, and said with a fist to Xue Xi, "This young lady, can you give me Jun Tianxiang a face and hand over Princess Xiyue to us." Xue Xi raised her eyes and looked at Jun Tianxiang, "Who are you Jun Aotian?" Jun Tianxiang was slightly stunned, "Jun Aotian is my father." "Oh, it looks like he's found his beloved, too. Xue Xi muttered. "Jun Tianxiang, I am more compatible with Xiyue, so I want to take her away. In addition, go back and tell your father, just say that Xuexi will say hello to him. He will know who I am. After Xue Xi finished speaking, she directly grabbed Xiyue and turned into a phantom and rushed to the sky.
Everyone didn't even have time to react, Xuexi and the others had already gone far away, and they had long since disappeared. Jun Tianxiang was only ordered to come out to help, and since Xue Xi was gone, he had no interest in continuing to stay on the street at night. But when Jun Tianxiang returned home, thinking about Xuexi's words, he was full of doubts in his heart. The next morning, he took advantage of the time after the meal to tell Jun Aotian what Xue Xi said, Jun Aotian was slightly excited, but the vicissitudes of time finally turned into a helpless sigh. Especially when Jun Aotian heard that Xue Xi's face had not changed, that kind of helplessness seemed to drown Jun Aotian all at once. Of course, these things are not for Xue Xi to consider. The reason why she asked Jun Tianxiang to say hello was only because she was about to leave the Star Continent.
Xue Xi took Xiyue and finally came to the hill where Elina and her grandfather and grandmother were buried after a half-night flight. The stars and moon were in the sky, the fog was heavy, and the hill seemed so ethereal and illusory. Seeing this small mountain, Xiyue couldn't help but be surprised. "Is this the Misty Mountain?" "Misty Mountain?" Xue Xi looked at Xiyue suspiciously. "I only know that a small mountain covered with mist appeared outside Tianlin City a few decades ago, and I heard that many people tried to explore it, but they couldn't even get in. The name of this misty mountain spread. Xue Xi shook her head and smiled, these mist were just the spiritual mist formed by the thick heaven and earth aura that the Spirit Gathering Array had gathered after many years of operation. In addition, there is the protection of the formation arranged by himself outside the hill, and those people in the Star Continent who do not understand the formation changes will be strange if they can enter. "Hehe, this is just a little trick back then. Originally, I just wanted to come back and see before leaving, but I didn't expect to meet you halfway. From now on, this will be your residence. The Star Continent is so big, I can't guarantee it anywhere else, but no one here will bother you. Alright, let's go down. After Xue Xi finished speaking, her body turned into a wisp of green smoke and quickly sank into the white mist below, and the fog was turbulent for a while, and then returned to its previous calm.
