Late at night, Tianxin College.

The sky was as dark as ink, and there were not even a single star in the silent night sky.

Qin Lang was sitting alone at the table in the room drinking. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and suddenly looked up in the direction of the window.

However, all he saw was endless darkness and the sound of howling wind.

"Is it just an illusion?" Qin Lang shook his head and muttered to himself.

After that, he started drinking by himself again.

At this moment, slight footsteps sounded in the darkness outside the window.

Hearing the sound, Qin Lang was startled, immediately put down the wine cup in his hand, and looked out the window warily, "Who is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open.

"why you?"

Qin Lang stood up and looked at the sudden intrusion in surprise.

That figure was none other than Nangong Yueze.

The moon was bright tonight, and the cold moonlight shone on him, making him look even colder and aloof.

"Yes, it's me." Nangong Yueze walked towards Qin Lang step by step.

Qin Lang was stunned, and his eyes subconsciously evaded for a few moments, "Oze, oh no, His Highness Ninth Prince, you... when did you come back?"

Nangong Yueze didn't answer and asked, "What, are you surprised to see me?"

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, what did you say? I have been worried about you while you were away from the academy." Qin Lang grinned honestly, "Why, where are your master and other senior brothers? Why didn't they come back with you?"

Nangong Yueze raised the corners of her lips and looked at Qin Lang condescendingly, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes, but also a bit of anger, "What is Uncle Qin worried about about me? Is he worried that I have died on the road? Or is it? bear

Did Li Yangming find me? "

"Your Majesty Ninth Prince, I don't understand what you are talking about. How could I think so?" Qin Lang quickly shook his head and denied it.

"Since you don't think so, then I'm curious, why would Nangong Jing say such a thing?" Nangong Yueze continued to ask, and as he spoke, he took out a phonetic stone that had been prepared.

Soon, Nangong Jing's voice came out from the record stone: "...This Qin Lang, he pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring in front of this palace before, but he has not been subdued now, interesting, really interesting, Hahaha……"

Hearing Nangong Jing's voice, Qin Lang's face suddenly turned pale. After hesitating for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Li...Li Yangming saved me before, and I only did this...to repay him for saving his life." It's just a favor, he promised me that as long as I stay at Nebula Royal Academy for three years, he will let me come back..."

"Even if you want to repay the favor of saving your life, why do you have to tell Li Yangming my whereabouts?" Nangong Yueze asked with narrowed eyes.

Hearing this, Qin Lang lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "I... I didn't know that Li Yangming would send people to hunt you down... I thought... I thought he was just asking casually..."

"Haha! What do you think??" Nangong Yueze laughed sarcastically, "I think you already knew about it?"

"No! It's not like that!! I was just..." Qin Lang anxiously wanted to argue, but unfortunately, halfway through the words, he could no longer speak. He knew that no matter how many explanations he gave at this moment, they were just nothing in Nangong Yueze's eyes. quibble.

"Qin Lang, you simply

You don’t deserve to be Jiu Ge’s master! ! "Nangong Yueze stared at Qin Lang indifferently, "Do you know?With her cultivation talent, she could have directly become Helian Shaoyan's disciple, but she was reluctant to part with the master-disciple relationship with you, so she was willing to give up the invitation from Helian Shaoyan and Zixu Academy, but what about you?What did you do? ?You actually want to leave Tianxin College at this time! !If Jiuge came back and knew about this, he might be very sad! ! "

"I……"

Nangong Yueze's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Qin Lang's head, making the blood in his body seem to stop flowing.

He stayed in place for a long time, even forgetting what to say. After a long time, he uttered a few words with great difficulty: "Your Majesty Ninth Prince, you are right, I am not worthy to be Ge'er's master. When she comes back, please replace me." I told her that I let her down."

Nangong Yueze pursed her thin lips and glanced at Qin Lang lightly: "I hope you won't regret your choice today!" After leaving these words, Nangong Yueze turned around and strode out of the house, disappearing into the night.

"I..." Looking at the retreating figure, Qin Lang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but he closed it after all.

……

The next day, dawn broke.

Maple Inn.

Gan Tai arrived outside Nangong Yueze's guest room early in the morning. The two guards guarding the door saw him and hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Gan Tai, morning!"

"Yes." Gan Tai nodded lightly and asked in a deep voice: "Did His Highness Ninth Prince sleep peacefully last night?"

Hearing this, one of the guards nodded hurriedly and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness Ninth was resting in the house last night. Only the innkeeper came in.

He came once to deliver soup and medicine, and when it was almost dawn, he came again to collect the soup and medicine bowl. "

"Okay, I understand, I'll go in and see him." Gan Tai said, then gently opened the door.

In the room, Nangong Yueze was lying on his side on the bed. His face was as handsome as an immortal. No one knew that he was not in the guest room all night.

Last night, he left the inn wearing fair and handsome clothes. Half an hour ago, he returned to the guest room in the same way. Maybe it was because the corridor was too dark, or maybe it was because the two guards on duty were too tired after traveling all day. , they didn't notice Nangong Yueze coming in and out at all.

Gan Tai walked slowly to Nangong Yueze, looked at the young man on the bed, and then called softly: "Your Majesty Ninth Prince, are you awake?"

After a long while, Nangong Yueze slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Gan Tai, he wiped his eyes pretending to be surprised and asked in a weak voice: "Where am I here? Gan Tai, why are you here?"

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, you were injured and unconscious in Zixu City before. My Highness happened to be passing by and brought you back." Gan Tai replied.

As he spoke, he stared at Nangong Yueze's face, as if observing his reaction.

Nangong Yueze sat up, rubbed his eyebrows, and recalled, "But I remember that I seemed to have been injured by a guard commander next to Concubine Ning."

"Your Highness, Ninth Prince, may you have remembered it wrong? I seem to have seen that the person who hurt you was a woman in white." Gan Tai said softly.

"The woman in white?" Nangong Yueze frowned and was silent for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly."

Hearing Nangong Yueze's answer, Gan Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately he said: "Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, you are still weak, so I humbly ask someone to bring you breakfast. After breakfast, we have to continue on our way."

"Okay." Nangong Yueze nodded, and just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly remembered something and asked again: "By the way, Gan Tai, where is my seventh brother? Where is he now?"

"My highness is practicing swordplay in the backyard."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go find him first." Nangong Yueze put on his coat and walked out the door.

……

The backyard of Maplewood Inn.

Seven or eight guards were practicing swordplay with Nangong Jing. Although they looked young, each of them was an elite selected from the Royal Guards.

When Nangong Yueze arrived, he happened to see such a scene. Nangong Jing was waving the long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed straight at the sky, and his movements were smooth and coherent.

"Seventh brother." Nangong Yueze called.

Hearing the sound, Nangong Jing turned to look at the person, and then stopped his moves.

The guards also stopped practicing their swords and shouted respectfully: "Greetings to His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Ninth brother, you finally woke up, but you scared the seventh brother." Nangong Jing walked to Nangong Yueze, patted his shoulder and said, "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Brother Qi, I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much." Nangong Yueze said with a toothy smile.

"I have already asked the doctor. Your injury this time is not serious. You will need to nurse yourself back to health for several months." Nangong Jing frowned and said, "When we return to the imperial city, Seventh Brother will ask the imperial doctors to take a good look at you. No matter what, you are a rare cultivation genius in our Nebula Empire, so you can’t make any mistakes."

"Seventh brother, what are you talking about? What kind of cultivation genius?" Nangong Yueze

I was stunned.

Nangong Jing curled his lips slightly, "Ninth brother, please don't hide this from seventh brother. Someone saw you fighting against the young master of Feiyun Sect in Shanli City, and you won."

"Brother Seven, look at what you said..." Nangong Yueze raised his eyebrows, "I don't even believe it myself."

"But your seventh brother believed it." Nangong Jing stared at Nangong Yueze's eyes seriously and said, "Ninth brother, tell seventh brother honestly, did you start practicing before you entered Tianxin Academy?"

Nangong Yueze pursed his lips and smiled, "Why does seventh brother ask this suddenly?"

"Although I can't feel any spiritual power fluctuations in you, it is a fact that you defeated the young master of Feiyun Sect. How could you do it if you had no cultivation level?"

Nangong Yueze smiled and shook his head, "Brother Qi, you are really worrying too much."

Hearing this, Nangong Jing's smile gradually faded, "Ninth brother, do you just not believe in seventh brother? Is it possible that seventh brother can still be jealous of your poor cultivation?"

Nangong Yueze knew that Nangong Jing was trying to trick him, so he pretended to cough twice, lowered his head, and whispered: "Brother Qi, my body is not very comfortable yet, let's talk about this matter another day. "

Nangong Jing narrowed his eyes, obviously not satisfied. He originally wanted to test Nangong Yueze's cultivation level, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't say a word to him.

Seeing this, Nangong Yueze stretched out his arms to hug Nangong Jing, shook her coquettishly, and said: "Seventh brother, when I return to the imperial city, I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing this, Nangong Jing sighed, patted Nangong Yueze's back and said, "That's all, since you're not feeling well.

, then go and rest first. "

"Okay, Brother Qi, you are busy first. I will take my leave first." With that said, Nangong Yueze let go of his arms, turned around and left the backyard.

Looking at Nangong Yueze's retreating figure, several guards gathered around him. One of the guards whispered to Nangong Jing: "Your Highness, do you want us to go try His Highness Ninth Prince to see if he is really good?" You have no cultivation level?"

Nangong Jing frowned, thought for a moment and then waved his hand, "No need for the moment, he is injured now. If another accident happens, wouldn't this palace be asking for trouble?"

"Your Highness, His Highness Ninth looks very weak, and there is no spiritual power fluctuation in his body. Does he really have any cultivation?" Another guard asked in confusion.

"I believe Li Yangming's words are true. When the time is right, I will test him personally."

"Yes, I understand." Several guards responded and then stepped aside.

Nangong Jing's eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking about. After a moment, he put away his sword and walked towards the inner hall of the inn.
