Chapter 1140: Take me (1)
As long as there were no accidents, the new Lord lounan would definitely fall into the hands of the three high priests.
âForget about glory, splendor, wealth, and rank,â Xia qingchen didnât really mind it. I just need to honor the promise Wu xiangtian gave me.
Priest Wu Hong smiled. donât worry. Iâll give it to you on the spot as long as you can complete your mission.
Xia qingchen played the most crucial part in this plan-to ensure victory in the martial competition.
The three high priests could only make a wish to seek the God of barbarianâs forgiveness after they won the fight. They could then fight for the throne with nu Tianyi.
âThatâs good.â âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll take my leave,â Xia qingchen said.
Priest Wu Hong watched Xia qingchen leave. Not long after, his trusted aide walked in from outside and said in a deep voice, âPriest, do you really believe that his identity is reliable? â
âWhat do you think?â priest Wu Hong cast a sidelong glance at his confidant.
The confidant trembled and quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, ââIâve spoken too much.â
Priest Wu Jie dusted off his black-feathered cloak and said indifferently, â it doesnât matter who he is. Whatâs important is that he can be used by me. As for what happens after I use him, Iâll deal with him however I want.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xia qingchen was very likely to be the same as the young lady who was captured, someone from the cool realm.
He wasnât blind, so how could he not see it?
It was just that his eyes couldnât see it. At the instant Xia qingchen turned around, a deep killing intent also flashed in the depths of his eyes.
How could he not know that priest Wu Hong had already seen through his identity and was only using him temporarily?
However, he was also making use of priest Wu Jie!
While he was in deep thought, Xia qingchen arrived at his tent under the guidance of the female servant.
When he entered, the maidservants all tactfully retreated, leaving Xia qingchen alone inside.
Just as he was feeling strange, he raised his head and looked through the thin gauze curtain. He saw a young woman lying on the stone bed.
The thin animal skin covering her body couldnât hide her exquisite lines, and her exposed snow-white shoulders reflected a faint fluorescent light under the dim oil lamp.
Two dark clouds appeared on her white and flushed cheeks because of her nervousness.
Xia qingchen was stunned for a moment. He lifted the curtain and walked to the window. He looked at the Luo water deity, who was at his disposal, and his heart was as still as water.âWhy were you caught?â
He sat on the edge of the bed and asked with his back to her.
Luo shuixian pulled up the quilt and said bitterly, â I was too ashamed to return to the sky moon Ridge, so I wandered to jiuli city. I heard that there were rich cultivation resources here, so I wanted to settle down here and cultivate slowly.
Jiuli city was the center of the jiuli region, which was connected to the lounan territory. Almost all the caravans between the two territories had to pass through this place. Many Warriors without any background would gather here, hoping to find satisfactory resources by luck.
However, Luo shuixian had been with ye Linglong for a long time and had bad luck.
Not long after she arrived, she was robbed by the barbarians and was captured. However, the good thing was that because of her outstanding appearance, she was taken by Wu guiming as a tribute to her father. Thus, she was not bullied and taken away by the barbarians on the way.
So that was the case. Xia qingchen was silent for a moment before asking, ââWhy didnât you expose me just now? You should hate me. â
It could be said that a part of the reason why she ended up in such a state was because Xia qingchen had driven her away. Based on her past actions, she should have hated Xia qingchen.
But she didnât.
Luo shuixianâs expression was dim, and she said self-deprecatingly, ââYou only have yourself to blame for your current situation, it has nothing to do with anyone else.â
If it was in the past, she might have vented her anger on Xia qingchen. However, after experiencing so many incidents, she had long reflected deeply.
She tilted her head and stared at Xia qingchenâs back. âThanks.â
Although it was only two words, it was truly gratitude from the bottom of her heart. She didnât expect that Xia qingchen would still save her, saving her from the misfortune of being defiled by the barbarians.
âI should.â rest well, â Xia qingchen said calmly. Iâll bring you back to the cool territory after the Holy fireâs ritual.
He stood up and was about to leave, but Luo shuixian pulled on his sleeve.
The latterâs head was already leaning towards the wall inside. She bit her red lips and her voice trembled slightly. to avoid the barbarians âsuspicion, you ⊠You should just take me. â
Wu guiming was extremely suspicious of Xia qingchenâs identity. It was very hard to guarantee that there werenât any of his men monitoring the outside. If Xia qingchen left just like that, his identity would be even more suspicious.
Xia qingchen turned his head and glanced at Luo shuixian. She was very beautiful and had the gentleness and frailty of a classical lady. Her disposition was gentle and weak. At this moment, she took the initiative to give herself to him, causing oneâs heart to surge with excitement.
It was impossible for any man not to be moved, and Xia qingchen was no exception.
âIf I take advantage of you, then whatâs the difference between me and the Barbarian?â However, he rejected her very decisively.
It was love to be with a woman who had feelings.
To mate with a woman he had no fate with was to vent.
Xia qingchen hadnât fallen to the point where he would lose his self-control.
âHowever, Wu guiming is a suspicious person. If you donât do anything to me, he will definitely become suspicious.â Luo shuixian still did not let go.
Xia qingchen gently pulled back his sleeve and patted her hand in a consoling manner. âIt doesnât matter if he is suspicious or not.â
âOh.â Luo shuixianâs nervous heart was finally relieved, and deep respect gushed out from her heart.
For a man to be able to reject a beauty that was sent to his door, it actually required a great deal of willpower. At this moment, it was as if she had just met Xia qingchen and saw that ethereal young man who guided her on her flute music.
Recalling all that had happened between her and him, she felt ashamed and shed two drops of tears. She muttered, ââIâm sorry. I was too childish in the past.â
How can there be plum fragrance without frost?
She had finally washed away her leaden past and regretted it.
Xia qingchen calmly shook his head. humans arenât Saints. Who can be innocent? â Just as I said that day, those who abandon me can not stay in the past. Since itâs all in the past, let it go like the wind.â
Luo shuixianâs heart was moved. She truly felt that Xia qingchenâs breadth of mind was vast. He had actually brushed off all the things that had happened in the past with a single word and had never taken it to heart!
Her fragrant shoulders moved, and she knelt on the bed wrapped in the quilt. She bowed and said, ââIâm lady qinxin!â
Xia qingchen smiled calmly. He flicked his robes and sat down, his back facing her as he cultivated silently.âRest well!â
Luo shuixian raised her face, her cheeks were already covered with tears. Her misty crystal eyes were like the autumn mountains after the rain, clear and ethereal.
She broke into a smile. This was the first time she, who was physically and mentally exhausted, had fallen asleep peacefully beside Xia qingchen.
The hidden mirror priest tribe.
The priest and the core clansmen, including zang shuiyue, were secretly gathered in the priestâs golden tent. Three giant barbarians, who were about 12 to 13 feet tall, were kneeling in front of them on one knee.
âHehe, the heavens are helping me! With the help of the three barbarian Warriors from the Royal Court, whatâs there to worry about?â The priest Cang Jing clapped his hands and laughed.
The departure of Lord lounan had caused the people of the court to lose their morale. The Warriors who served Lord lounan were all looking for him.
Some of them had turned to the ten high priests.
Cang shuiyueâs eyes were filled with worry. I wonder how priest Wu tuan is doing. From what I know, Wu xiangtian found a rather weak man to be a suicide soldier. If thatâs the case, heâll definitely drag us down.
The priest Cang Jing waved his hand and laughed, â donât worry. Priest Wu Jie, that old fox, will handle it properly. Anyone can choose a weak person as a death warrior, but he wonât.
As he spoke, a member of the wuyan family presented the letter.
Cang Jing priestess opened it and grinned, ââSpeak of the Devil, the devil has arrived. The name list of the Wu Yan familyâs men of sacrifice has been sent over.â
The three priests exchanged information and informed each other of their men of sacrifice in advance.
Zang shuiyue came over and saw a familiar name, Hu Yifan. She couldnât help but be surprised,âPriest, didnât you say that priest Wu Hong would check? Why did he still choose that useless short priest?â
Hu Yifan? â Cang Jing priestâs smile disappeared. this Hu Yifan is very weak? â
youâre only this tall! zang shuiyue pointed at her chest, â youâre thinner than me!
A barbarianâs strength was directly proportional to their physique. The shorter they were, the weaker they were.
âNonsense!â The priest cangjing crumpled the letter into a ball and left without a word, â inform priestess Li Luo to hurry to the tribe.
They couldnât just sit back and watch a weak barbarian drag down their entire situation. (More at 11:30 tomorrow afternoon)
