Inward scrolling golden light spell, subdue demons from the heavens!

Chapter 436 Frankness

Qiye turned around abruptly, his face as gloomy as water, his hands unconsciously clenched, demonic light jumping around him, like a flaming iceberg about to erupt, the deep murderous intent caused the void around him to distort and become dark!
Yan Chixia's face changed at the same time, revealing a hint of anger of sharing the same hatred with the enemy, and he almost cursed the emperor as a dog, saying that what he said was just nonsense!
Obviously, after experiencing the emperor's double-dealing, they all believed that this imperial edict was another unscrupulous betrayal by the emperor who thought he had them in his hands!

The old eunuch appeared with three steps and three steps staggering. Facing the two people with cold brows, he still looked like he was about to die. He spoke in a gentle manner as always: "Seven Nights Saint Lord, don't get excited, and don't misunderstand. Your Majesty's words are golden. Since you have made a promise, you will not break it. This imperial edict is for Ning Caichen. You also know that the most important thing now is the matter of the seven generations of enemies, but the imperial examination is also the foundation of the dynasty and cannot be lost. So your majesty decided to take drastic measures and hold the palace examination in advance. This old servant came here to inform Ning Caichen, who ranked first in the examination, to enter the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he raised the brocade imperial edict in his hand. At the same time, under his drooping eyelids, his cloudy eyeballs hid a gleam of light, obscurely observing Qiye's reaction. Seeing that he remained indifferent, but the murderous intent on his body was gradually dissipating, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "This imperial edict was handed over by you two, or this old servant..."

"give it to me!"

Yan Chixia stepped forward with a sour face.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Master Yan."

The old eunuch raised his withered hand holding the imperial edict, and then a guard in embroidered clothes respectfully took the imperial edict and handed it to Yan Chixia with great respect.

Afterwards, the old eunuch didn't say any more polite words. He bowed tremblingly and said, "Goodbye," then left with the embroidered guards!

Yan Chixia held the imperial edict, hesitating.

As the saying goes, times have changed. This imperial edict once represented immense wealth and was great news for the Ning family, but now, it has become a death warrant!

He hesitated for a moment and asked Qiye: "Tomorrow..."

"This is my mother's wish..." Qiye replied indifferently.

"understand……"

Yan Chixia sighed deeply.

Then he calmed himself down, walked quickly into Fenglin Courtyard, pretended to be excited, and announced the good news: "Scholar, great news, you got the first place in the examination. This is the emperor's decree to summon you to participate in the palace examination tomorrow..."

"real……"

"Very good……"

"congratulations……"

……

In the yard, everyone gathered around the scholar to celebrate, and they were all very happy.

It was so lively for a while until Ning's mother remembered her other son and asked about him. Then Qiye came in slowly.

"Qiye, your brother is in high school..."

Ning's mother took Qiye to share the good news with him, and she cried with joy.

"Mom, I heard it outside..."

Qiye smiled gently, and there was nothing unusual about him, just like an ordinary farm boy who was sharing his mother's joy!

Sima Sanniang looked at Yan Chixia obscurely. Yan Chixia shook his head slightly, a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes, which made her heart sink suddenly. But because of the presence of Ning's mother, she couldn't ask any more questions. She could only endure it temporarily, pretend to be normal, and have fun with everyone.

She had previously ordered Sanbao to go with her, but Sanbao was stopped outside the Meridian Gate and did not go in. He returned early, so she did not know what happened in the Fengtian Hall!

Ning Caichen got the first place in the imperial examination, so naturally they had to celebrate. The excitement lasted until late at night before everyone dispersed after having fun.

Everyone went back to their rooms.

Yan Chixia carefully set up the barrier before telling everyone what happened in the imperial city.

After hearing this, Sima Sanniang was also filled with sorrow, but she was helpless and could only sigh repeatedly and scold the emperor...

……

The next day, the weather was gloomy.

The scholar, however, looked radiant. With everyone's farewell, he sat in a sedan chair from the imperial city and went to the palace to take part in the palace examination... Sima Sanniang took Ning's mother away under the pretext of preparing a celebration banquet in advance.

Yan Chixia followed suit and left, leaving only Qiye and Xiaoqian in the yard.

"Brother Qiye, are you... okay?"

Xiaoqian was a little nervous. She could see that Yan Chixia and his wife left on purpose. She felt inexplicably uneasy!

Qiye clenched his hands tightly, and when he opened his mouth, he completely forgot the words he had prepared countless times last night, so he was naturally speechless.

Xiaoqian saw his embarrassment and hesitation, which had never happened before, except for that night when he opened his heart after getting drunk!

This made her even more uneasy, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Qiye, what's going on? Tell me!"

Qiye smiled bitterly, and after thinking for a moment, he finally cautiously asked: "If, I mean if, if I really want you to marry me, are you willing to marry me..."

Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, but then she guessed something out of desperation. Her face changed drastically: "Brother Qiye, is that thing not going well?"

Qiye nodded sadly: "Well, the Great Yan Emperor has changed his mind, he wants the seven generations of enemies to get married..."

"Can……"

Xiaoqian blurted out, but then remained silent.

She was in a dilemma, with no way out.

If she agrees, she and the scholar will part ways. If she disagrees, Qiye will lose her only hope of survival!

On one hand, there is her own happiness, and on the other hand, there is her brother Qiye who treats her like a treasure. She doesn't know how to choose!
Seeing this, Qiye's face darkened. After all, in Xiaoqian's heart, his life and death were not as important as staying together with the scholar forever!
"Something happened in the Demon Palace. Now everyone in the Demon Palace is under the custody of the Great Yan Army. The Great Yan Emperor is threatening me with their lives, and I can do nothing..."

Qiye told everything, his expression gloomy.

"how come?"

Xiao Qian was shocked. She couldn't imagine or accept that the once-mighty Yinyue Dynasty was completely wiped out. She felt that this was an extremely ridiculous thing!
"This matter is complicated, but it is also true!" Qiye nodded heavily. Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment and had to accept this cruel reality, because Qiye would never lie to her!
After going through so many things, she is no longer the naive little witch. Now the situation is very clear. The survival of the Yinyue Dynasty depends on her!
Qiye said: "I don't want to force you. If you don't agree, I won't blame you..."

Xiaoqian's face changed several times. After struggling and hesitating for several times, she nodded firmly: "I agree..."

But just these three short words exhausted all her strength. Her whole body went limp and she slumped in the chair, looking gloomy and sad!
However, this long-awaited answer did not make Qiye happy, but sad. He could not help but said, "Have you...thought it through..."

"Well, the Demon Palace is also my home, I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Xiao Qian nodded heavily. She had already made a decision, and now she looked extremely determined!
Then she was troubled again: "But how should I tell the scholar?"

She couldn't imagine what would happen when the scholar heard the bad news!
"I am sorry for this matter. I will tell you!"

Qiye took the initiative to take on the task and become the bad guy!
Xiao Qian shook her head sadly: "No, if nothing unexpected happens, today will be his most glorious day, let him be happy first."

After that, she begged pitifully, "Can I?"

Seeing her weeping and miserable appearance, Qiye felt heartbroken. How could he bear to refuse? He immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, the emperor is also afraid of losing everything. I will try my best to delay the time..."

Xiao Qian was slightly happy when she heard this and said, "Three days, I only need three days. I want to say goodbye to the scholar properly..."

"No problem. No one will disturb you for three days!"

Qiye spoke sternly, with murderous intent in his eyes!
"Thanks……"

Xiaoqian choked up as she thanked him, then stumbled back into the house and licked her wounds alone.

"Ugh……"

Qiye sighed heavily and left with Luomo...
