Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

"I didn't expect it to be you."

As a veteran who followed the King of Han to fight out of the blood sea of ​​corpses, Ye Cong's hands behind his back clenched unconsciously, and his whole body tensed as tightly as a bowstring. He didn't look at Taoyao, he just lowered his head and looked at the messy vegetable market floor.

I didn't expect it to be her.

At this time, Ye Zong's heart was filled with turmoil. The order given by the King of Han was to "invite" Zhou Li's family members there. Note, it's a real please, not a slang word. But that night after he inquired about the news and found Zhou Li's sister at the market, he only felt bitterness spreading in his heart.

Lord Han, you really made a mistake.

Even if you come to Beiliang in person, you won't be able to please this person.

"did not expect?"

Taoyao arranged the juicy cabbage in the vegetable basket to prevent it from being overwhelmed by the tomatoes. Her eyes fell on Ye Cong. In the bustling market, people were coming and going, but no one noticed these two incompatible people.

"Or have you never thought that I was still alive?"

Taoyao said calmly.

"Don't dare."

Ye Cong lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I have never been so transgressive."

"You came to me because of Zhou Li?"

Tao Yao glanced at him and said bluntly: "Your King of Han wants to invite me to Taiying to contain my younger brother, right?"

Ye Cong's sweat beads fell to the ground and broke into eight petals.

"There is a snake demon doing evil in the Thirteenth City of the North Ring. His Royal Highness the King of Han is afraid of disturbing Mr. Zhou's family. He specially ordered me to invite Mr. Zhou's family to return to Taiying to protect Mr. Zhou..."

"What will the snake monster call me when it sees me?"

Taoyao asked directly.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Cong said respectfully:

"Ancestor."

"In that case, you still want to invite me?"

Taoyao asked calmly.

"I dare not refuse the order of the King of Han."

Ye Cong only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.

"Xu Zhongyuan, you still don't know how to adapt."

Sighing, Tao Yao smiled helplessly and said, "Do you think the King of Han would still come to invite me if he knew that the person in Beiliang was me? Or, would he dare?"

"I dare not try to figure out what the King of Han is thinking."

Ye Cong gritted his teeth and replied.

"You know he wouldn't dare."

Taoyao knelt down, picked up half a cauliflower, and gently put the copper coin into the old woman's hand. She turned her back to Ye Cong and whispered: "If I appear in Taiying or the capital, guess what will happen?"

"I stay in Beiliang not because of fear or worry."

Standing up and tucking her long messy hair behind her ears, Tao Yao looked at the vegetables and fruits around her and said in a chatty manner: "I'm protecting you." "Protect you people who don't know the importance and don't understand the priorities. A fool who just thinks he understands everything.”

Stretching out his hand, the white and delicate fingers crossed each other and separated again. Taoyao snapped her fingers, and there was a rustling sound in the building nearby.

Soon, two Yebuzai, who were dressed in black and stood out in the daytime, came out, carrying two corpses holding crossbows. The two threw the body in front of Ye Cong. People came and went, but no one paid attention.

"Of course, I'm not protecting you for you, but for my dear brother."

Smiling, smiling softly, Taoyao gently patted Ye Cong on the shoulder. Seeing the wildly growing vines on his shoulders and the heartbreaking pain in his bones, Ye Cong turned pale and slowly half-knelt on the ground, lowering his head, not daring to look directly at Taoyao.

"After the world failed me, I would only love him."

Lowering his head, Ye, who was wantonly wrapped in vines, never closed his eyes. He understood that Taoyao left his life out of pity or tenderness. She had lost these feelings a long time ago. This woman who looked as clear as water, graceful and gentle, had lost everything in that disaster.

Except, Zhou Li.

This is a warning and a reminder.

Taoyao loves Zhou Li to her core, and she regards Zhou Li as everything to her. Zhou Li didn't want her to put herself in danger, so she stayed in Beiliang and acted like an ordinary sister. Zhou Li didn't want her to worry, so she continued to live peacefully in Beiliang, shopping for groceries, visiting houses, and sleeping, as before, without any change.

Perfect?

perfect.

Terrible?

From this moment on, I only felt that my heart was filled with fear.

He could not imagine at all how deep a person's love could turn a city, a remote northern town, into her soul, just because this was the place where she and Zhou Li lived together.

Beiliang?

Ye Chong felt only coldness in his heart. He finally understood why, until he came to Beiliang, the King of Han and the entire Taiying intelligence agency subconsciously ignored Beiliang, ignoring this city that was full of strangeness and confusion.

It has long since become a magic weapon and a demon soul.

She gave up the hope of rebuilding her golden body and regaining her unique and distinguished identity. During her most important moment, she chose to stay in Beiliang just to take care of a child who was not related to her by blood. She even left Beiliang with her only chance to return to reality.

Taoyao...she can leave Beiliang, return to the capital, and tell the world the truth about that year. At this time, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, the world will be in chaos, and the whole country will tremble. But the price is that the north beam will collapse...

Zhou Li would be unhappy.

So, she gave up.

She gave up on finding the truth and regaining what she had lost because Zhou Li was unhappy.

But now, the King of Han ordered himself to come to Beiliang to take Taoyao back. She did not kill herself and cause more entanglements, nor did she choose to settle down and do nothing.

Taoyao just reminded herself that she didn't have to participate in some things. Her choice to stay in Beiliang is an attitude. You can deal with Zhou Li and use Zhou Li to achieve your goals, because Zhou Li has to do what he wants. If Zhou Li fails, the Beiliang left by Taoyao will be his harbor. He can lose a lot and return to Beiliang.

Youth is full of energy, experiencing setbacks is a must, and failure is not unacceptable. Taoyao does not want to raise Zhou Li to be a waste, so she indulges Zhou Li and lets him do whatever he wants to do.

But if someone wants to use Beiliang, they want to use Taoyao to threaten Zhou Li and restrain Zhou Li.

Then stop playing.

At night, Ye Cong endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and moved the fifteen corpses into the carriage. Slowly getting on the horse, Ye Cong lay on the horse's back, used his last strength to slap the horse's back, and then passed out.

In the dim night, a black horse carried a fainting man, pulling a carriage full of people who had lost their breath, and moved forward slowly in the dim moonlight. Behind them, the small town, which was ordinary and somewhat ancient, was like a bottomless palace, swallowing up all the light around it.

Tao Yao stood on the city wall, the wind blew across her face, and her eyes were full of indifference with peach petals falling into them. (End of chapter)
