I, the first son, became a woman

"It's a pity to throw away such a delicious thing."

After finishing speaking, he poured the crumbs of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Humph."

Pursing her lips and smiling slightly, Xia Juan raised her eyebrows.

"Ye, you are sometimes ridiculously serious."

"Is it ridiculous?!"

Ye Ning patted the debris on his mouth, then raised his head to look at Xia Juan.

Immediately, he uttered two words lightly.

"The hut."

"The hut...?!"

There was a doubt on his face, and his face turned earthy in an instant.

"Ye, I forbid you to talk about that again!"

"uh-huh."

With a dark smile, Ye Ning shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be nonchalant and didn't understand anything.

After the two had eaten and drank enough.

Xia Juan sat down and rested, while Ye Ning brought some firewood to add to the fire.

"Ye, when can we go back to the capital?!"

With a serious face, Xia Juan looked around.

"This time the evil nine stars are coming, I'm afraid the capital will definitely be full of rumors and chaos."

"What should come, will come after all."

He patted the dust stained with plant ash on his hands.

Ye Ning sat back to his original position, quietly feeling the coolness of the autumn wind.

"The imperial court will not sit still. This matter should not be spread in the Xian Dynasty in a short time, but..."

"As you have seen and heard, the matter of the evil spirit and nine stars is no longer a secret among cultivators."

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Xia Juan was thoughtful.

"After all, we immortal cultivators could sense the unusual power that fell that night, while ordinary people might think it was just a small earthquake."

Speaking of this, Xia Juan felt that his throat was a little dry because of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so he drank a few more sips of water.

"Actually, we don't need to be so anxious now."

Ye Ning looked to the east and pointed to the darkness.

"Ahead is Tianzhi Ridge. According to our current speed, we should be able to reach the capital in less than ten days."

"Tianzhi Ridge?!"

Nodding his head, Xia Juan was suddenly taken aback.

"Tianzhiling... Zhiyue Palace?! Isn't that where the third sister is?!"

Turning his eyes, Xia Juan looked at the darkness again.

After pondering for a while, she came back to her senses.

"By the way, Ye, what did you just say?! People in the capital are panicking now, why are we not in a hurry to go back?!"

"Before the storm comes, there is always an extraordinary calm."

Ye Ning looked down at the dancing flames, expressionless.

"Hmm... makes sense..."

Turning his head, the smart Xia Juan naturally understood what Ye Ning said.

After all, the Xian Dynasty was one of the four most powerful empires on the mainland.

If you want to get a share, you need enough savings and preparations.

As for the Xian Dynasty, they also knew that within five years, they might be confronted with enemies, and there would be a battle of national destiny.

Therefore, the Xian Dynasty must always prepare for war, recuperate, prepare and plan.

Therefore, for a while, in a short period of time, it appears calm, peaceful, and seems to be peaceful.

It's just that under this tranquility, there is an undercurrent surging!

It is a conspiracy that countless people will sacrifice their lives is brewing!

Nodded, paused for a while, Xia Juan suddenly spoke.

"Ye, starting tomorrow, let's separate."

"Um?!"

Ye Ning was taken aback by Xia Juan's sudden words.

"Why?!"

"Since I passed by Tianzhi Ridge... I want to stop by Zhiyue Palace to see my third sister."

Xia Juan smiled, a rare sincere smile.

Actually... She really misses her family a little bit.

Or... Her empty and lonely heart longed for someone to rely on.

A harbor where she can stop wandering and floating in the vast sea.

Only family... could make her feel like this.

After all, I am still not mature enough.

Laughing at herself, Xia Juan sighed and looked at Ye Ning.

"In any case, after all, we have lived and died together for so many days... In short, you can continue to the capital tomorrow by yourself..."

"But I still have to say, I really hate you."

Smiling slightly, Xia Juan touched his neck.

"However, although those Dongchang killers have been thrown off for the time being, what if they come after them again?"

Ye Ning hesitated.

"I'm worried about you alone."

"Do you think I can't go back to the capital alone?!"

His face was displeased for a while, and Xia Juan, who was so strong, suddenly became serious.

"The person surnamed Ye, from Dongchang..."

Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.

"correct……"

Eyeballs rolled a few times, Xia Juan suddenly reacted.

"The surname Ye... you say... we came out of the Eye of the Underworld, and then went to the Purple Desire Sect..."

"How could the gold-medal killer of Dongchang find us on such a rugged and hidden road?!"

"Um?!"

Hearing what Xia Juan said, Ye Ning also found something strange in an instant.

"You mean..."

Ye Ning nodded, lowered his eyebrows, and frowned slightly.

"Could it be...the other party has something that can track our breath?!"

"The thing that traced our breath?!!"

After being reminded by Ye Ning, Xia Juan pondered and recalled all the details of his battle with the faceless man.

"thing……?!"

Eyes closed.

In my mind, I suddenly recalled a picture.

The faceless man threw a compass.

At that time, on one side of his body.He is about to sacrifice the good luck tripod to resist.

It's just such a short moment.

Xia Juan's eyes were sharp, and even though the compass was turning rapidly, he could still see that it pointed a direction.

Face yourself!

"Could it be...!"

Eyes widened, Xia Juan slapped her leg with a slap.

At that time, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that the compass itself pointed to her own direction.

Now it seems...

The compass does not point to anything else!

What it guides is itself!

"It's a compass!"

Xia Juan raised his head and looked at Ye Ning.

"The faceless man who fought against me! That's what you call a gold medal killer!"

"He has a compass in his hand!"

"That compass can track my breath!"

Chapter 398

"compass?!"

Ye Ning was taken aback, but soon came back to his senses, restraining his surprise.

"Then the compass should be a magic weapon!"

"That's right!"

Xia Juan nodded and continued to recall the previous battle.

"The compass can be turned into a weapon like a drop of blood, with infinite changes."

"Blood drops... endless changes..."

Touching his chin, Ye Ning, who hesitated for a long time, finally nodded.

"It seems that the people from Dongchang have been eyeing you for a long time."

He raised his head and looked at Xia Juan.

"Even if it is a magic weapon, it needs something on your body to capture the breath."

"A drop of blood, a breath, or..."

"A hair."

"hair?!"

Frowning, Xia Juan touched his head.

"East Factory..."

After thinking for a moment, the faces of Ruoxi and Tong Yan appeared again in his mind.
