"My father is going to die"
Zhao Yan could not believe what Coach Cai said.
Zhao Changying had just broken through the eighth realm and became a powerful "True King". He showed his power in front of the palace and teamed up with the Ghost King of Mangshan to defeat the Grand Master of Da Qi and Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department.
Logically speaking, looking at the entire wilderness, except for Emperor Tianxing, it is difficult for anyone to threaten him.
He is the spiritual pillar of the entire Dayan and the source of confidence for Youzhou people to dare to rebel.
But now, Coach Cai tells her that her father is dying and may not see her for the last time.
If Coach Cai hadn't been her respected martial arts teacher and a close subordinate of her father, Zhao Changying, she might have thought that he was talking nonsense and spreading rumors.
"That day, the king was seriously injured in the battle with Emperor Tianxing in the Zichen Palace," Coach Cai said solemnly, "He thought that with the help of Jicheng's healing medicine , can easily heal his injuries
“But he didn’t expect that what Emperor Tianxing injured was the origin of his soul.
"His soul is dissipating rapidly in an irreversible situation. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long.
"Therefore, he wanted to go to Hexi before he left. , I apologize to you and sincerely talk to you about the past. "
Zhao Yan stood there like a sculpture, silent for a long time.
Deep in her heart, it seemed that an invisible pillar collapsed.
Zhao Yan and Zhao Changying have never had a harmonious relationship. For a long time, she always thought that her father was a coward who was greedy for wine and did not value friendship. Her mother, Mrs. Qu, was murdered in Luojing City. He was killed, but he was indifferent.
Later, Zhao Changying revealed the truth to her, but he could not completely resolve her knot.
On the one hand, Zhao Changying colluded with ghosts and caused many crimes. The casualties of the people made her feel uneasy; on the other hand, she was also dissatisfied that Zhao Changying kept her in the dark when preparing his revenge plan, as if she was a child who was inexperienced in the world.
However, at this moment, when she knew that her father would leave her forever soon, her heart suddenly felt empty, as if a very important piece was missing. The air around her suddenly became very cold, and the howling wind stung her. Her skin ached faintly.
After a while, she looked up at Coach Cai and said in a calm voice: "Coach Cai, you should be wearing a sky-breaking bead."< /p>
"Yes, Your Highness. "
"Give it to me. "Zhao Yan stretched out her hand towards him.
Her fingers were long and slender, white and flawless, slightly cold in the sun, like a beautiful work of art carved from cold jade.
p>Instructor Cai nodded slightly and handed the "Breaking Sky Bead" into her hand. His expression looked much more respectful than before because he knew that this student who had been learning martial arts from him since childhood would soon become a master. To become DayanThe new king of the country.
Zhao Yan turned to look at Gu Xu again: "Sorry, Fellow Daoist Gu, I can't accompany you to the end of the East China Sea as promised before."
Gu Xu looked at her .
At this moment, he could see the girl's confusion from the depths of her eyes, and he could also hear the calmness and composure she tried her best to maintain from her voice.
"It doesn't matter," he said, "This time, it's me who will accompany you to Jicheng."
Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows and looked a little stunned, obviously not expecting him. would say something like this.
“Aren’t you anxious to find all the magic weapon fragments and improve your strength?”
“You’re not that anxious,” Gu Xu smiled indifferently, “I wasn’t the same before. You said that it is impossible to solve the problem of purple breaking through the same degree?
"You once saved my life in Jingxing.
"And you will definitely encounter a lot of trouble when you return to Jicheng to inherit the throne. If I escort you, maybe everything will go much smoother."
"But I don't want you to be delayed because of me." Zhao Yan still wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Gu Xu.
"Helping you means helping myself," Gu Xu said seriously, "The level of hatred towards me by the Da Qi court is much higher than you think. In order to get my head, they can No matter what the cost.
"Now, the reason why they have not sent anyone to deal with me for the time being is not because of our remote location, nor because of our superb methods of hiding our whereabouts, but because they saw it. Got you.
"In this way, they thought that I had defected to Dayan and was protected by the monarch of Dayan. If they were not sure of victory, they would not dare to act rashly against me."
"But I don't have the strength of my father, so I can't guarantee your safety." Zhao Yan sighed.
"If you are really the reincarnation of the saint, you will only become stronger after you awaken." Gu Xu responded.
Actually, there was another important reason that Gu Xu didn’t tell her.
On his way south from Beiming, the closer he got to Jicheng, the more he felt To the close connection between the "Hui Lu" rune and the Vulcan belief.
The power of faith from the Vulcan believers was like a river, flowing continuously into his meridians, making his true energy quickly become powerful and majestic.
In addition, he had just used the "astrolabe" to calculate his own fortune, and realized that there was a great opportunity for him hidden in the crisis in Jicheng.
So he decided to temporarily slow down his plan to go to the East China Sea and accompany Zhao Yan to Jicheng to inherit the throne.
"Okay," Zhao Yan pondered for a long time and said slowly, "I know that once a person like you makes a decision, no one can stop you."
Then she raised her right arm: "Hurry up and grab my arm."
Gu Xu immediately did so.
As the "Breaking Sky Pearl" broke into pieces in Zhao Yan's hands, the two figures quickly disappeared.
Coach Cai quietly looked at the place where the two disappeared.
In his mind, the image of Gu Xu holding Zhao Yan's arm still remained.
"Miss's problem has been solved." He frowned slightly. In his subconscious, he was still used to calling Zhao Yan "Miss".
He knew that Zhao Yan had always been averse to physical contact with the opposite sex, and had worried that she would never marry, die alone, or simply find a woman to be her partner.
But now, she didn't seem to reject the young man beside her at all. Not only did she hang her amulet around his neck, but she also let him hold her arm tightly.
Looking at the skilled looks of the two of them, it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this kind of thing.
"Perhaps I will have to call this young man Your Royal Highness in the near future." Coach Cai thought to himself.
There have been many female monarchs in the history of Dayan Kingdom, and the queen’s husband also had special titles. However, with the surrender of the last King of Yan to Da Qi, the title "Wang Fu" was also buried in the dust.
Now that he picked it up again, Coach Cai felt quite mixed. ,,
