long night walk

All in all, Balian did not save people out of good intentions, and he never expected Lord Xiyan to be grateful to him.

It was not surprising that Lord Xi Yan could react so angrily when he woke up, based on Balian's understanding of people in the immortal world.

Come to think of it, Lord Xiyan's fault for losing the Fire of Ten Thousand Salaries was forcibly placed on him.

This can be regarded as setting up a new enemy for himself for no reason.

It's a pity that the little tiger is not very good at controlling the evil spirit in the evil soul nail.

When Xi Yanjun planted the soul seal and she resisted, the evil spirit did not restrain itself and came back to bite him, forcibly obliterating the soul seal imprinted in his consciousness, and the evidence was lost.

If not, just by accusing Xi Yanjun of trying to control the little tiger with his soul seal, Kunlun Mountain would be able to accuse him, strip him of his immortal clothes and remove his immortal bones, which would save him a big trouble.

To this day, even if the little tiger can insist on identifying him, he still wants to accuse a great immortal without any substantial evidence.

Although it is a little regretful, the Fire God Xi Yanjun, who has fallen into a state of decline, is now completely drained of his immortal blood and is extremely weak, although he can be considered a strong enemy.

But in the short term, he thought he was more focused on how to stabilize his cultivation and his injuries, and how to deal with the leader of the True Immortal Sect.

After all, a divine item like the Fire of Ten Thousand Fuels is comparable to the Divine Source of Sishui.

Now Kunlun and his party not only failed to get the little tiger to accept him as their teacher, but they also lost tens of thousands of fires. Even if they save their lives today, they will no longer have the prestige to make the whole clan surrender when they return to the Fire God Realm in the future.

Of course, none of this is enough to give Balian a headache.

What really gives him a headache is that he has now begun to bear the consequences of his concubine's unscrupulous words in the Zhongtian Palace that day.

Regarding the matter of union and separation, Junhuang Chenghuang kept it airtight.

But the news that he stayed in the Wangchen Hall night after night and was accepted as a guest in the sage's tent spread like the wind throughout Kunlun in a few nights.

Of course, there is no need to say whose handiwork this is.

It's ridiculous to think about it. The emperor has been enjoying the famine for hundreds of thousands of years, and he has incurred countless peach blossom debts. Many of them were settled by Cang Nanyi himself.

Even though the couple didn't get along well with each other halfway through, Cang Nanyi's reputation as a saint, as passed down from later generations, was a path of ruthlessness without any worries, and all the worldly desires had nothing to do with her romance.

In the past hundreds of thousands of years, he had just turned a blind eye to his romantic affairs and never said anything else to smear his immortal reputation.

Now the fact that she accepted a corpse demon as a guest has yet to be verified. This emperor has obviously lost his mind and wantonly spread such gossip.

The disciples of the True Immortal Sect are widely spread in the Kunlun Immortal Mountains, and the True Immortal Sect is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. This rumor spread throughout the mountains and swamps with an almost vengeful speed.

And Bailian, the prisoner in the Kunlun Mountains, has naturally become the target of public criticism and a hot topic of conversation in recent days.

Even the palace people in this Juefenghan Palace look at Bailian very differently now.

On weekdays, when walking in the palace corridors, you can always see a few palace maids and immortal attendants walking side by side with their heads lowered, looking at Balian with secretly sizing eyes, and whispering endlessly.

This was already the case just in the Wangchen Palace. Balian simply couldn't imagine how crazy the rumors were between him and his empress in the outer mountains at this moment.

"This is the fifth time you have sighed tonight. You are not studying so seriously. Do you want me to punish you by kneeling in the snow again?"

In front of the desk, Cang Nanyi's gentle tone sounded faintly.

Bai Lian put down the writing case in his hand, looked at Cang Nan Yi, and asked softly: "Don't you know about the rumors in Kunlun Mountain in recent days?"

Cang Nanyi asked, "Should I care about these rumors?"

Bailian pursed his lips and said: "My queen brought me back to Kunlun with the original intention of suppressing the True Ancestor Evil God in my body. Now that such rumors have spread, my queen is not worried about the world thinking that she was in the hands of the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan. Do you have any selfish motives for keeping me safe?"

Cangnan Yi said leisurely: "No matter what the world thinks, they will not stop me from taking you into the Kunlun Mountains.

The wind is unpredictable, people are impermanent, and their minds are different. I can't be constrained by what other people think about me, and I don't know what to do, right? "

Bailian said: "A saint and a gentleman have a great reputation. They should cultivate their principles and principles, discipline them, unify them, and not tolerate them."

Cang Nanyi clenched his fist and touched his lips and coughed, with a vague smile: "If I care about this integrity, this thing will naturally be bigger than the sky. But if I don't care, no matter what others say, I will be worthless."

Balian's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly: "My queen's realm is so high that no one can match it, but I'm just a common man. You don't care, I do."

"What do you care about?" Cang Nanyi's slightly curved lips held a faint smile, and looked at Balian: "Is it possible that you still have such a good reputation? When you killed the succubus in Tiange City, When you pressed me against the wall, I didn’t see how much you cared about your reputation.”

Balian: "..."

I know that your empress has great insight, but can we not mention this matter?

Cangnan Yi held his chin, and the dim candlelight beside his face flickered, "Furthermore, keeping your reputation is what belongs to a saint and a gentleman. You are a corpse demon. Who else in this world can have a worse reputation than you?"

That's right. He doesn't need to care about what the world thinks of him.

But these rumors are spreading all over the place, and they are all ridiculous and unfounded. If they reach the ears of the queen in the world, her son, who should have been suppressed by the law in the Kunlun Mountains, has become the queen of the queen in just one year. The person sleeping in the tent.

If she knew such shocking news, she would be afraid that it would lead to another earth-shattering situation.

What Balian can be sure of is that this news has flowed into the Zhongyou Dynasty, and Aniang may be thinking of ripping him off.

Besides, there is Xiaoshuang...Bailian is even more speechless and doesn't know how to explain to her.

Balian took a breath and said: "No matter how bad my reputation is, it is fact that I am a corpse demon. I know that even if you don't need to fabricate the facts, you can successfully separate and reunite with your strength, so why do you have to do this... "

"Ah..." Cang Nanyi slowly raised her eyes. Her tone was calm, and her eyes looked through the candlelight with an elusive and misty look:

"So what the little guy is saying is that you are a corpse demon, so no matter what others think of you, this is a fact and you can accept it. What makes you upset is that you don't like this fictitious dirty water to stain your reputation?"

That's not what he meant. At that time, Bailian simply didn't want to be too involved with the big shots in Kunlun Mountain, let alone the matter of men and women.

Just looking at Cang Nanyi's lazy and sick look, it's impossible to give her some advice to resolve this rumor. After all, she doesn't care about her reputation at all.

Balian could only say sincerely: "The boy really doesn't want to suffer this unjust injustice, and the rumors are unjust." "Unjust injustice, the rumors are unjust?" Cang Nanyi's mouth curved in her usual curve, and her dark eyes were beautiful. Like black jade.

She narrowed her eyes without emotion and said with a half-smile: "If you really feel that your wish is wronged, then I will treat this untrue matter as a fact. Will the little guy feel fair in his heart?" Some."

Even though the majesty of the empress is still there, and there is an indescribable pressure on her face, her words are truly a joke.

Balian was quiet for a moment, not panicking. He moved his body back with the futon under his buttocks, and said with a sincere expression: "I believe that the empress will not behave like an old cow eating young grass."

Cang Nanyi seemed to be amused by Bailian's reaction, his eyes fell lightly on Bailian's face and lingered twice, and said calmly: "You are the first one to spread rumors with me and worry about tarnishing your reputation. "

Balian said seriously: "Reputation is secondary. I'm just worried that someone will use this matter to cause more trouble."

Junhuang Chenghuang is romantic by nature, but he is also extremely headstrong, has a strong sense of self-esteem, and is extremely sensitive.

Cang Nanyi's speech at the Zhongtian Palace that day certainly irritated him, but after all, His Majesty had to take into account the two clans and his own face. The fact that he was being labeled was widely spread, and it also damaged his own face. .

If you really want to retaliate by tarnishing her reputation, you can take out the letter of separation and tell the world. After severing the relationship between husband and wife, and after the matter is revealed, the only one who will be laughed at is Kunlun Mountain. .

But he chose not to mention the matter of union and separation.

Cang Nanyi raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I see that you are very peaceful in the mountains all day long. It turns out that you are not that peaceful at all. You are actually so concerned about my affairs in Kunlun Mountain."

Balian's eyes moved slightly, smiled faintly, and said, "If your Majesty doesn't want me to care about things in the mountains, I don't have to care that much."

There seemed to be a scene floating in Cang Nanyi's dark mirror-like eyes, reflecting the dancing candlelight, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Who are you, and you dare to talk about my Kunlun affairs?"

The content of these words is not very pleasant. To others, it must be full of disdain.

But Cang Nanyi's tone was calm and somewhat serious, without any condescension.

Balian was startled for a moment, and heard that there was something in her words.

He pondered for a moment, then bent his eyes, with a smile on his face, lifted the futon under his buttocks, and moved his body a little closer to the desk.

He rested his arms on the case and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. He held his chin and said as if he had some realization: "Now there are rumors in the mountains that I am a member of Wangchen Palace."

Cangnan Yiti brought a pot of cold tea on the table and poured it into the cup, with a light and natural expression on his face: "There is no need to be so careful with your words because of my status. To be more precise, you are my person now." .”

Bailian coughed lightly and said, "So what the empress said in the Zhongtian Palace that day was not just to annoy the emperor?"

Cang Nanyi laughed and said: "If I am the kind of person who only wants to fight for the moment, why wait until now? As you said, if I want to be separated, it's just a matter of pen. Why do I need to use such irritating words? Way.

It's just that Qingxuan happened to bring you into the palace that day, and I just wanted to lend you a seat. "

Balian smiled dryly and said, "The way the empress takes advantage of the situation is really unique."

Cang Nanyi lowered his eyes and said, "I once had the intention of accepting you as my disciple, but because you exposed your identity, I gave up this idea.

The True Ancestor Evil God is sealed in your body. Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan will not destroy this excellent container of yours, but he will not allow you to continue to be free in this world. I ask him to bring you to Kunlun Mountain. What are you doing? The corpse demon proton has no right to interfere with my affairs in the mountain. "

Bai Lian stared: "Your Majesty, you want to..."

Cang Nanyi's thin lips curved, "If you accept Xiao Junjun as your disciple, you must have an identity."

Balian: "..."

It's okay for him not to want this embarrassing status as a zombie demon.

"It turns out that the empress actually chose me to be your young highness's teacher? But if that's the case, why didn't you continue this matter that day in Zhongtian Palace?"

Cangnan Yi said calmly: "I am the Lord of Kunlun, and I am not some demonic monarch who takes things by force. You can't do it if you have the will to become a disciple. If you don't have this intention, I will hold you responsible for this." What’s the point of forcing it on you?”

"Even so, there is no need for the empress to be so extreme..."

"Extreme?" Cang Nanyi suddenly smiled, "I thought you were a smart little guy and a talent that could be made, but in the end, you are a bit simpler.

This battle between immortals has always been cruel. Why do you think that little old man Zhu Zhan agreed to seal you on my territory? "

Balian was silent for a moment and then said: "Because the empress is the only person in the six realms who has the strength to suppress the Corpse King's generals and the True Ancestor Evil God at the same time."

"Not bad." Faced with this thing that would make anyone extremely proud, Cang Nanyi didn't see any pride in her eyes. She acted calmly as if this was a normal and normal thing.

"But you seem to have forgotten that in the eyes of many people, including Chenghuang, I am already a dying person.

Since you are a person who cannot even control your own life, you have been judged as a weak person by default in people's hearts. Since you are a weak person, how can Zhu Zhan rest assured that you can continue to stay in Kunlun Mountain? "

Balian opened his mouth silently.

He didn't realize her true intention at all.

What seemed to be absurd nonsense in the Zhongtian Palace on that day was actually to continue to protect him from the hands of the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan.

Of course, Balian will not be so narcissistic that this comes from the empress's good intentions.

But it was true that the sword had protected him in an unexpected way, and Bailian could not refute it.

His throat rolled slowly, and his expression was a little complicated, "I didn't know that the empress wanted me to stay in Kunlun Mountain so much..."

Cang Nanyi smiled softly and said: "If you are forced to leave Kunlun Mountain, how can you continue to search for your 'father's' heart? What? The little guy is not happy with the beauty of this adult?"

This is naturally another joke.

But when he was in the Zhongtian Palace, his wife's joking words about accepting him into the palace also had many hidden meanings. Balian didn't dare to despise her every joke anymore.

He couldn't help but sit up straighter, and asked bluntly: "If I listen to your Majesty's arrangement and continue to stay in the mountains, will your Majesty be willing to hand over the general's heart?"
