Chitose words

When Xie Zhao woke up from his dream, he almost relived the night of shocking changes from beginning to end in a nightmare.

So much so that after she woke up, her whole body still looked dull.

She was like a rusty machine wheel, trying its best to turn the gears but unfortunately it failed to start.

Something was simmering on a small fire in the kiln next to the bed.

Xie Zhao tilted his head and smelled it. The smell was not bad, not pungent.

It seems to be several Chinese herbal medicines of unknown origin that regulate qi and nourish the body.

She clicked her tongue, wondering what Nanxu was going through.

Since he knew that the poison she was carrying was the "Sad Flower and Suffering Moon", he should know that doing these useless things would not have any effect.

——What's more, she also performed a very new type of death, forcibly reversing the meridians, so that the toxicity had already spread to the whole body.

Perhaps it was because the news that Xie Zhao was still alive was not suitable for others to know, so the entire Zhaohua Palace in the Shentai Palace was silent, and there was no one else except her.

She slowly turned over and propped herself up. It felt pretty good?
Not to mention, but after only one night, she actually felt that her body felt much more comfortable at this time than yesterday when her heart was injured again due to that "Oolong" incident.

It seems that Nanxu saved a lot of Qi in her body when she fell asleep.

In line with the principle of not taking advantage of the high priest, Xie Zhao had a faint smile on his lips without any psychological burden.

She decided to leave this place quietly while Nan Xu was away.

It’s not a good place to stay for a long time. If you don’t leave now, how long will you stay?
But as soon as her feet landed on the carpet, the invisible magic circle in the room suddenly began to make sounds.

The next moment, a pleasant wind chime sounded by the window due to the influence of the air flow in the room.

The sound is clear, but the movement is really loud.

Xie Zhao put his hand on his forehead, nodded his eyes, and said helplessly:
"Since when did you become so wary?"

Nanxu pushed the door open and glanced at her coolly.

He said noncommittally: "Then when did you start to become so reckless?"

Xie Zhao failed in his escape attempt, but he didn't feel too embarrassed.

She spread her arms calmly, with her palms facing up, looking happy and content.

"Priest, you have so many things to do every day, why waste your time and energy on staring at an idler like me?"

Bone injuries and injuries to internal organs have always had endless consequences and are extremely difficult to cure fundamentally.

Although Xie Zhao's injuries have already healed, he looks no different from the outside.

But she was the only one who knew that after that experience, her body was no longer what it used to be.

Feeling chilly, often tired, having heavy dreams after falling asleep and being difficult to wake up, low energy and low alertness, etc. There are countless sequelae.

But fortunately, these are small things that are innocuous and life-threatening, so they are not a big problem.

She leaned back on the pillow on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he raised his eyebrows and sighed nonchalantly, saying, "I really have to go. If I don't go back, someone will worry."

She didn't come home all day and night yesterday. This was something that had never happened before. Ling You and Han Changsheng must have been anxious.

Especially in Ling He's heart, he has silently determined that she is the little thief who steals Lu Shangque's "golden platform" regardless of life and death. She is a person with a "criminal record" and lack of skills who may be caught and beaten to death by the owner at any time. I'm afraid By now they were going crazy.

Today, she must return to Li Mansion.

Nanxu's eyes darkened and he suddenly said:

"Go back? Afraid of others worrying? It turns out that 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' Fu Jingci is also a caring person. I thought you never knew that others would be worried.

Yesterday something happened suddenly. You were not very awake and in poor condition, so I held back some words and didn't say anything.

Since you are the first to say this today, I also have two questions to ask you. "

The high priest of Shentai Palace spoke in a calm and not high-spirited tone at this time, but there was a vague feeling of a storm about to come.Xie Zhao weakly and carelessly waved his hand to comfort him:

"Nanxu, look at you, why are you so angry? Master has said before that you may look cold, but you are actually very angry. This is not good for practicing divination."

Nanxu ignored her interruption and continued coldly: "The first question is, since you were able to escape from the Sleepless City on the night of the incident, why didn't you return to Shentai Palace?

The second question is, since you are back now, why do you bother to leave? Is there any place in the world that can protect you better than Shentai Palace?
Or have you had enough of the good life, and have you ever thought about the days of suffering and wandering outside? "

The smile on Xie Zhao's face gradually faded away without knowing when.

After a moment, she suddenly lowered her head and said softly, then shook her head and smiled softly.

The once radiant eyebrows and eyes of the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" settled on Nanxu's face from bottom to top, and he said lightly:
"Nan Xu, I thought that both of us are smart people, so we know some things well, but there is no need to say it so clearly."

Nanxu frowned, and there was an almost imperceptible movement in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Zhao sighed lightly.

"Nanxu, so many years have passed, and the days are neither long nor short.

You and I practice together and guard this Shentai Palace together. You are familiar with me, just as I am familiar with you.

You don’t think that I am so stupid that I still don’t notice it even now. "

Nanxu's narrow eyes moved slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he calmly fell on Xie Zhao's face, his eyes dimmed a bit.

Xie Zhao's eyes did not continue to look at him.

She just lowered her head slightly again, a hint of disappointment flashing through her drooping eyes.

She quietly looked at her thin, well-defined fingers spread out in front of her eyes, and continued in a calm tone:

"According to the old rituals of the Shentai Palace and your personal habits as the high priest of Nanxu, on the first day of the first lunar month every year, you will draw the power of the stars in the high tower temple to activate the Star Reaching Technique to see if there are any abnormalities in the stars of the following year.

And the main objects of your astrology observation are naturally the few people who will affect the situation of the Southern Dynasty.

I think on the first day of the third year since I came to Jing'an, you have already discovered that my destiny star will show a serious omen a few days later, but you...

Xie Zhao paused for a moment, then laughed and added.

"But they didn't tell me."

Nanxu's eyes were as thick as water.

He neither affirmed nor denied, just listened quietly to her continued words.

“The Shentai Palace is located on the outskirts of Zhaoge City, only more than a hundred miles away from the Evernight City.

If you really want to give me an early warning... you don't even need to leave the Shentai Palace to go to Zhaoge in person, just a letter from a flying pigeon will be enough.

In five days, I will definitely receive it before the fifth day of the first lunar month. "

When Xie Zhao said these words, there was no hatred in his eyes.

Her open-mindedness seemed to have "nothing to do with her" for a long time. If uninformed bystanders heard her, they would think that she was just talking about what happened to others, rather than about herself.

"But you didn't. It's not that you didn't have time, but you didn't want to say it. Right?
So, to the first question you just asked, I think that's the answer.

As for the second one, I don’t think I need to answer it anymore, right? "

Although she didn't know why Nan Xu hid her news about her horoscope being deviated and her star in danger, he did remain silent and allowed all that to happen.

For her who was later seriously injured and had almost no internal strength, was the Shentai Palace really still the safest place?

Xie Zhao didn't know, and he didn't want to know now.

So living in the world was not the best choice she could make at that time.
