Chapter 1: Fate
"It turned out to be a martial art, it looks pretty good, you can practice it when you have time" Then he threw the parchment roll and Ying Lingyu into the space together.
got up and walked out of the door, came to the center of the courtyard, looked around, and said with a little satisfaction, "It's big enough here, let's open the last gift bag!"
"Ding~ Fame Rise Gift Package is opened, and you can get a Heroic Spirit Jade, 100,000 taels of gold, and a copy of Breathless Technique"
Although I had expected it in my heart, it was still so dazzling with my own eyes, and a full 100,000 taels of gold built a hill in the Qixia Courtyard, almost a head taller than the small tree on the side.
The storage space that had risen sharply after being promoted to the True Martial Realm was immediately filled, leaving less than three feet of space left.
"Strange, why does the system always reward so many silver taels, and what is the special purpose?"
"Forget it, it's imperative to see what to exchange first, and be prepared"
casually put the reward income space on the ground, sat cross-legged under the shade of the tree, and instructed Xiaoxi to open the exchange inventory and look at it from top to bottom.
The 600,000 points gave Qi Yue confidence in his heart, and the things that he had seen but couldn't afford in the past were now redeemed one by one.
For example, the Juyuan Pill, which is worth 70,000 points, can increase the internal strength of the True Martial Realm martial artist by at least two small steps if taken by it, and there are no side effects. Or 30,000 points for a pot of Xuanhuo cold ice wine, 50,000 points for the incense burner, and so on.
After a while, when Xiaoxi reminded him that he had insufficient points, Qi Yue reacted, "Insufficient points!
Looking at so many good things on the inventory, I can only sigh at this moment, and a sense of loss arises leisurely.
"It's a pity, but with these things, I shouldn't be exchanging anything else in a short time" A whole ten good things in front of him have already satisfied Qi Yue's greed a little.
"Since the exchange has been completed, then Xiaoxi, you should evolve quickly, and it would be good to start a day earlier" Although he was reluctant in his heart, he thought that he could exchange for better things in the future, and he had some expectations in his heart.
"Ding~ Systematic evolution begins, and the current progress ...... One percent ......"
With a prompt, Xiaoxi officially left, no matter how Qi Yue shouted in the Heart Sect, he could only see the progress of the prompt above, without the slightest sound.
"Alas...... Suddenly there is no Xiaoxi, and I am really a little unaccustomed to it."
Just as he was about to get up to observe his "treasures" up close, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.
In order to prevent others from knowing that he had the system, Qi Yue had locked the door as early as when he returned, and the outer door would never know the situation inside.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the treasure and opened the courtyard door with doubts, but he didn't expect it
"It's you!"
Seeing Qi Yue's surprised expression, Zhu Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, and then Ying Ying saluted, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Qi!"
Qi Yue was dumbfounded and scratched his head, "Congratulations?"
"Hehe, of course, congratulations on entering the Sword Immortal Sect, your future is limitless" Looking at Qi Yue's stunned appearance, Zhuyue couldn't help but laugh.
Becoming an apprentice of Qing Yingzi was already doomed in Qi Yue's opinion, and when Zhuyue came to congratulate him at this moment, he realized that his identity was completely different from before.
"Thank you, thank you, but you just called me Senior Brother, did you also worship under any elder? I don't remember you participating in the competition?"
Strange to say, Qi Yue had never seen Zhuyue's figure when he was in Dabi, and the other party seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one knew where she had gone.
"I'm ashamed, I came to participate in the big competition with you, but there were some problems with the northern border defense two days ago, and I, as a member of the royal family, could only let go of everything, so I missed the competition.
But fortunately, I am fortunate to have the compassion of the master, and this morning I have bowed to Elder Shuxue."
"So that's the case, I thought you gave up the competition" Saying that, Qi Yue suddenly realized that it was a little inappropriate for the two of them to stand at the door, and then he led with his right hand, "Look at my brain, let's go in and talk"
Zhuyue shook her head, "No need, I'm just here to congratulate you, it's getting late now, and I'm going back early."
After being rejected, Qi Yue inevitably felt lost in his heart, and said, "Then I'll send you"
Qi Yue's eager gaze made it difficult for Zhuyue to refuse, so he bowed slightly, "I'm sorry for you"
At dusk, the sunset on the horizon dragged the shadows of the two for a long time, and neither of them spoke first, so they walked forward step by step in silence.
"I've arrived"
Qi Yue raised his head suddenly, and found that at some point, the two of them had come to the range of Qingyang Peak, and further forward was the residence of the female disciple.
"That's fast"
Hearing Qi Yue's sigh, Zhu Yue's heart fluctuated slightly, her face was unbearable, and after hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
"Of course there is!" Qi Yue replied directly without even thinking about it.
"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, can you accompany me?"
Qi Yue didn't push it, and went straight to the topic, "What time?"
"Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at the mountain gate"
If the road was very long, then Qi Yue when he went back was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, indulging in the mountains, did he let out one or two inexplicable shouts, which alarmed many senior brothers who had already fallen asleep.
When I returned to Qixia Courtyard, I lay on my back on the bed, staring at the beams on the roof, and I couldn't sleep for a long time.
............
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Qi Yue jumped off the bed, began to freshen up, tidy up his appearance, and changed into a dark collarless robe.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Qi Yue couldn't help but be full of confidence, held his head high, and strode towards the mountain gate.
As soon as I got out of the hospital, I found that the first snow had quietly ushered in last night on the Ziyang Peak of Layue in the depths of winter, and the snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell on my shoulders and disappeared in an instant.
The ground, rooftops, and treetops were all covered with a thick layer, and their feet creaked when they stepped on them.
Fortunately, Qi Yue's light skills are good, and this little snow can't stop him, although he can't step on the snow without a trace, but it's still very easy to jump three or four feet.
After a while, the people had arrived at the gate of the mountain, but they found that they had come early, and only two guards and disciples were sticking to their posts in the cold wind.
Stopped, waved his big sleeves, and his internal strength was slightly released, and a large open space was cleared on the stairs.
The two guard disciples probably knew Qi Yue, and when they saw him sitting there, they didn't pay attention to it, still respecting their duties.
"Are you here a long time ago?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, Qi Yue was so excited that he quickly stood up and looked back.
I saw a person standing quietly on the stairs, mink fur fox velvet, goose yellow palace costume, who else could there be if it wasn't Zhuyue.
"No, I've just been here for a while, since I'm here, then I'll go"
Nodding, maybe because it was cold, Zhuyue didn't say anything, and walked directly in the direction of Hengzhou City.
"Where are we going?"
I thought that Zhuyue was going to Hengzhou City to do errands, but when it was about to arrive, the other party suddenly changed direction and went to the north, going farther and farther, I don't know what the intention was.
Seeing that the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, almost far away from people, Qi Yue couldn't help but ask.
After Zhu Yue heard this, the speed under his feet remained unchanged, and suddenly his lips opened slightly, and he said in a serious tone, "The place where we will go later is where the military camp of the Zhenbei Army is located, and after arriving there, remember not to move around at will, their commander Nangong Li is a famous iron-faced general in the empire, known for his strict military discipline, if he catches me, it will be difficult for me to intercede for you"
Qi Yue pursed his lips, disapproving, but something caught his attention: "Nangong Li, is it the person who escorted you that day?"
Zhuyue suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Qi Yue with a wary gaze, and asked, "I have never heard this person in front of you, how do you know?"
Seeing Zhuyue's sudden change of face, Qi Yue knew that the other party might have misunderstood, so he waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't get me wrong, I once had a relationship with that person, and he left a deep impression on me."
After finishing speaking, for fear that the other party would not believe it, Qi Yue told all the things that happened at the gate of Hengzhou that day, which made her face better, but she was still on guard.
Seeing this situation, Qi Yue remembered to scratch his ears and cheeks, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "That's right, that token" exclaimed, pretended to reach into the cuffs, and took out a sign made of black iron from the storage space and handed it over.
Zhuyue took the token, and when she saw the word "Nangong" engraved on it, all the suspicions in her heart disappeared without a trace, and her face changed from cold to guilty.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that because of my special identity, I have to do this" After speaking, he returned the token to Qi Yue.
Seeing her like this, Qi Yue couldn't help but sigh with relief, wiped the sweat on his head, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can understand you, it's just not enough for you to be so nervous all the time, aren't you tired of living?"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed to touch Zhuyue's sadness, her eyes instantly reddened, and when she found out, she immediately turned around and said in an almost hoarse voice, "Tired, how can I not be tired, but in this life, as a member of the royal family, I am destined to bear more than ordinary people, maybe this is fate."
An unintentional remark unexpectedly caused the beautiful woman to cry, Qi Yue was suddenly at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Taketsuki was stronger than she imagined, and her weak side may be a luxury for her, and when the cuffs wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she regained her previous composure.
Perhaps afraid that Qi Yue would see her weakness, Zhuyue did not look back, and walked towards the original route without the slightest drag.
Along the way, Qi Yue followed her silently and didn't ask any more questions, maybe he was afraid that she would touch on sad things, maybe it was the first time that Qi Yue felt that there was a distance between the two, so he naturally maintained a certain distance.
If there is no one to guide the way, it is really hard to imagine that such a deep mountain and old forest, in such a deserted place, there is a whole legion stationed in the mighty place.
The originally dense jungle was cut down, and dozens of miles of open space were vacated in the middle, and the flags fluttering on it and the sound of soldiers training were deafening far away in time.
