Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1442 The Truth
Ying Baoyue was stunned upon hearing this.

She still had a lot to say to wake Xu Canghai up, but she didn't expect him to admit that she was not worthy of being the Son of God.

Saying such a thing as a second-rank practitioner means that he has given up his dignity as a practitioner.

In the end what happened?
What happened to the Northern Wei Guoshi who was still aloof when he was in Soochow?
"Xu Canghai, don't you..."

Ying Baoyue opened her mouth in a daze, but Xu Canghai suddenly raised her eyes to look at her face.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Ying Baoyue was slightly taken aback, she suddenly sensed something from Xu Canghai's tone.

It has only been a month since they left Soochow, which is not a long time at all.

At this time, Xu Canghai's tone of conversation with her was different from the tone of his conversation with her outside the gate of Ruyang City.

Xu Canghai's eyes paused on Ying Baoyue's left wrist, and said calmly.

"It's been a long time since anyone called the old man's name like that."

Ying Baoyue froze, only then did she realize that she had called Xu Canghai by his full name out of anger.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Canghai.

"Someone called me by my first and last name before," he said calmly. "At that time, I was just a kid. She must be seven or eight years younger than me. Everyone loved her very much."

According to her age, she should respectfully call him big brother, but according to her realm, they are equals.

In the end, he chose to treat her with the courtesy of peers, keeping a distance neither far nor close.

Not everyone is qualified to call her little Ayue, at least not him who was a pariah at the time.

Even if he wanted to get closer to the woman next to her, he couldn't get any closer.

When he stood in front of her again on an equal footing, he was defeated by her sword again.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she is stronger, the other woman he can't forget should be a little easier.

But he never expected that she would leave this world first.

And at that time, because of his mistake, he made an irreparable mistake.

The mistake made at that time finally came when he was required to pay back.

"Xu... national teacher?"

Realizing that Xu Canghai might have discovered her identity, Ying Baoyue had a complicated expression on her face. She was about to say something when her pupils suddenly shrank.

Xu Canghai put away the tortoise shell, stood on the stairs and slowly drew out the long sword at his waist.

"I'm not considered a son of God, but I'm still a subject of His Majesty. It's His Majesty's order to stop you here."

Ying Baoyue was a little shaken at first, but once he heard this, anger filled his eyes again.

"Don't tell me that you don't know that there is something wrong with the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty on the throne!"

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "That king's order will destroy this country. When did you become so obedient?"

In the past, when Yeluhong was alive, she had never heard of Xu Canghai being so obedient to the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
"Xu Guoshi, what happened?"

Ying Baoyue scanned Xu Canghai's body, and suddenly narrowed her eyes sharply. She didn't want to pretend anymore, and asked by his name.

"Xu Canghai, where's your daughter?"

According to Yeluhua, Xu Canghai and Xu Bingqing disappeared together, but now he appeared here alone, but Xu Bingqing was nowhere to be found.

Xu Canghai's hand holding the sword remained motionless, and he said flatly, "I left her in a safe place."

"You're lying." Ying Baoyue shook her head.

In today's chaotic situation, apart from himself, it is impossible for Xu Canghai to rest assured that others will protect Xu Bingqing. No matter what happens, he should always bring his daughter by his side.

Looking at Xu Canghai's empty side, Ying Baoyue already had a guess in his heart.

"Could it be that the Xirong people arrested Xu Bingqing and threatened you?"

This is the only possibility, Ying Baoyue let out a sigh of relief, only this can explain Xu Canghai's abnormal behavior.

But the reason why she didn't guess this way at first was that it was impossible for this to happen.

Xu Canghai has always been by Xu Bingqing's side since the Intermediate Ceremony, and Xu Bingqing is not thousands of miles away from him. Under such circumstances, if you want to take Xu Bingqing as a hostage, it is tantamount to catching Xu Bingqing under Xu Canghai's nose.

The vigilance of a heavenly cultivator is extraordinary, let alone the Son of God.

To be able to catch Xu Bingqing in front of Xu Canghai, at least he needs to be as powerful as Xu Canghai.

With such combat strength, why do they need to threaten Xu Canghai?

Why don't you just do it yourself?

Even if Xu Bingqing was caught unawares for a while, Xu Canghai's strength is enough to take back his daughter from any force.

Ying Baoyue really couldn't figure out how this paradox happened, she could only take a deep breath.

"Xu Guoshi, has the saint been captured?"

Xu Canghai remained silent.

"If this is the case, you should also know that such threats are endless," Ying Baoyue gritted his teeth, "The top priority is to rescue Xu Bingqing. If you leave now, I can help you save her."

Xu Canghai remained silent, only the true energy on the sword continued to increase.

The extremely intense thunder light condensed on his sword, the power alone was enough to turn an earth-level practitioner into dust.

"Embrace the moon!"

Cold sweat dripped from the corner of Li Ji's forehead, and he grabbed Ying Baoyue's shoulder suddenly, trying to pull her back. If this sword was hit head-on, it wouldn't even be able to hold up to the heavenly rank. They only had to escape for their lives.

But Ying Baoyue didn't dodge or avoid, but just stared into Xu Canghai's eyes.

"Step aside."

"Embrace the moon!"

Ying Baoyue still didn't dodge.

This sword is enough to chop her to death.

Lei Tuan gathered in front of Xu Canghai, looking at the girl in front of Lei Tuan who looked exactly like that person's eyes, Xu Canghai's eyes suddenly became dazed for a moment.

His hand holding the sword suddenly became stiff for a moment.

But at this moment, a delicate female voice came from behind him.

"Daddy?"

Xu Canghai's whole body froze, Ying Baoyue and others looked at the girl in pink walking out from behind Xu Canghai in astonishment.

It was Xu Bingqing.

Li Ji, who was standing in front of Ying Baoyue, was completely stunned when he saw this scene.It never occurred to him that Xu Bingqing, who they speculated should be captured as a hostage, was actually here, beside Xu Canghai.

What's even weirder is that Xu Bingqing has no chains on her body, and no one is holding a knife to her neck.

She just ran out alone.

What kind of threat is this?
Li Ji's heartbeat accelerated violently. Could it be that Xu Canghai was not threatened at all?
Xu Bingqing rushed to Xu Canghai's side in a panic, grabbed his lapel, "Daddy, kill her quickly, I don't want to die!"

die?
Ying Baoyue was startled, and at this moment, her eyes suddenly stopped on Xu Bingqing's neck.

Xu Bingqing's neck was actually covered with purple bruises, like ice-cracked porcelain. Those purple spots spread from the bottom of her neck all the way up to her cheeks.

"What are you looking at?!" Noticing Ying Baoyue's gaze, Xu Bingqing pulled up his collar abruptly, his eyes seemed to drip with hatred.

"it was all your fault!"

"The damned person is you, not me!"

Ying Baoyue didn't want to listen to her cursing, but just stared at Xu Bingqing's hand covering her neck, and found that she even had such dark purple bruises on the back of her hand.

It's not trauma.

This is... poisoning?
In her past and present lives, Ying Baoyue only knew of one type of poison that had such symptoms, and that was blood poisoning.The purple pattern is the expression of the exudation of toxins in the poisoned person's body.

But once this pattern spreads all over the body, it proves that the person has been deeply poisoned.

The poisoned practitioner that Ying Baoyue met in her previous life did not show such symptoms until three months after being poisoned.

In other words, Xu Bingqing had already been poisoned at least before arriving at Soochow.
