Xi Ling's eyes were already slightly red. He used all his strength to grab the Daoist Priest's hand. The little Daoist sighed and said, "Benefactor, fate dictated. You should either turn back sooner or stop being so stubborn."

Xi Ling shook and dejectedly let go of the young daoist. "I will no longer continue to be ignorant." He mumbled to himself as he looked at the little cultivator with a perplexed look, "Tell me, what do you mean by no longer being stubborn, no longer loving, no longer hating, and be like all of you."

The little Daoist said nothing, only calmly looked at him.

After a long while, the little Daoist opened his mouth and said, "Master said that if Almsgiver is able to stop obsessing over things, then all the problems from my previous life can disappear."

"Then what if laozi insists on not realizing it?" Xi Ling asked clearly, one word at a time.

"Definitely die." The little Daoist said these two words.

Xi Ling, on the other hand, laughed. His smile was so beautiful that it could overturn a country. After he finished laughing, he looked at the little Daoist in front of him and said, "That old man is so powerful. Did he calculate that? I won't repent even if I die."

"Master knows that Benefactor will not agree." The little Daoist replied that he did not have any feelings.

"Alright, alright." Xi Ling hastily said, "Tell this old man that I will never regret it in this life."

The little Daoist slightly nodded, then he turned around and left.

The only person left in the room was Xi Ling. He wore a bright red robe, had long black hair, a peerlessly beautiful face, and was not afraid of the laughter of the mortal world. When he finished laughing, he turned around and looked out the window at Su Nuo.

Su Nuo was dressed in plain clothes, just like a lotus blooming in the distance. There was only a faint tranquility and fragrance, but it was something one would never be able to forget.

Xi Ling stretched out his hand and slowly drew the outline of her from the window. From her hair to her eyes, every stroke was filled with deep affection. At the end of the painting, Xi Ling closed his eyes and softly murmured, "Idiot woman, don't blame me." When he opened his eyes again, they were already clear, with nothing remaining.

Su Nuo was tired. Her family's mausoleum told her to make tea for him, but she still hadn't come. Su Nuo wanted to get up and go find him. Xi Ling hugged her from behind. "What happened? Are you tired?"

Su Nuo did not move and just let him hold her. "No, I was just about to go look for you."

Xi Ling laughed. "What, you missed me just because you didn't see me for a while?"

Su Nuo, however, bent her body and chuckled. "Ling, when did you become so narcissistic?"

"Don't you know that I've always been like this?" Xi Ling's words were filled with arrogance.

Su Nuo turned around and also hugged Xi Ling. "You are naturally proud of yourself. If you are not, then you are no longer Xi Ling."

The corner of Xi Ling's mouth curled up as his eyes shone with a charming light. "Yes, there is no one in this world more arrogant than me, Xi Ling. So, you idiot woman, you will definitely fall in love with me and think of me for the rest of your life." Xi Ling moved closer to Su Nuo's ear, speaking with abnormally certainty.

Su Nuo blushed slightly and shyly pushed Xi Ling away. "Alright, I've brewed some tea for you. Drink it quickly." As she spoke, she pushed the cup of tea in front of Xi Ling. Xi Ling did not continue to pester her, instead, he drank Su Nuo's tea and said, "Good tea, just like your people, Su Nuo."

Su Nuo was not used to Xi Ling's undisguised praise.

However, Xi Ling said, "Idiot girl, let me play the zither for you. I have never played the zither for you before."

"Have you played for anyone else?" Su Nuo asked unconsciously.

"Nope." After a pause, Xi Ling looked into Su Nuo's eyes and said, "This life is for you." Her tone was firm and affectionate.

Su Nuo was really embarrassed to the point of blushing. She reckoned that Su Nuo was used to Xi Ling being ruined from day to day. Suddenly saying such sweet words to her, something was wrong with her.

Xi Ling placed the zither in front of him and tested it out. Then, he said, "Idiot girl, you must remember that in this entire world, only I, Xi Ling, play this song for you."

Instantly, the originally somewhat embarrassed Su Nuo completely froze, looking straight at Xi Ling.

The sound of the zither had become completely unlike the sound of the zither, turning into the transparent love and hatred of an unparalleled man like Xi Ling.

Su Nuo wanted to hug him. The deep sound of the zither made Su Nuo unable to see the West Tomb clearly, but it seemed like she could see too clearly, causing her soul to feel severe pain. However, before Su Nuo could embrace her, the song ended.

"Su Nuo, marry me." Suddenly, Xi Ling quietly said this.

Su Nuo was still staring at him. However, she couldn't even control her words. She blurted out, "Alright."

But even if Su Nuo had regained her senses, she would not regret it. The news of the Emperor wanting to take a wife was like a bomb that instantly dispersed throughout the Southern Champion Kingdom.

Inside the house!

Xi Ling opened his eyes and got off his bed. He asked without any fluctuations in his voice, "How many times?"

"The second time." The black-robed man replied.

This was the second time that Xi Ling had fainted today.

The black cloaked man said, "Your subordinate has found three Daoists. They —" Xi Ling did not let him continue. "There is no need."

The black robed man's expression instantly changed. "Master, do you really believe that —"

"Yes." Xi Ling only said one word. These days might not have been long, but it wasn't short either. Compared to his short time, ten days or so, all of the doubts he had from the past few days had been dispelled.

These days, he could sometimes feel a deep sense of obsession towards him. Although he couldn't sense anything else, he didn't know where that obsession came from. However, it was this obsession that caused Xi Ling to feel slightly uncomfortable.

So he believed!

The black-robed man was instantly speechless. If you didn't believe him, you wouldn't believe him. Even if you killed him with a knife, he would only disdainfully tell you, disdainfully, even to the point of answering, disdainfully.

"I want you to do something." Xi Ling spoke up.

The black robed man knelt down. He suddenly did not know what his master wanted to do or what he was thinking. Many things that happened now had completely exceeded his understanding.

After Xi Ling had explained the situation, the black-robed man suddenly opened his eyes wide, but Xi Ling acted as if he did not see it, "Quickly go."

Only after a long while did the black robed man find his voice, saying, "Yes, master!" before he got up and left.

The Western Tomb had always been luxurious, but this time, it was especially so. It made everyone dumbstruck and speechless, and they could only open their eyes wide again.

Beichen Kingdom!

Bei Chenghan just looked at the invitation in his hand, golden in color. How could it not be golden? It had a thick layer of gold, so of course it was yellow. The words in the middle were written with fine cinnabar, and every word was filled with vigor, showing how proud the owner was, and how grand the scenery was.

Beichen didn't say a word. His pair of eyes that were as dark as the night just stared at him word by word, over and over again. That's right, this was a letter of invitation from Xi Ling and Su Nuo, inviting Beichen Han to attend as the ruler of a country.

Beichen's face didn't change at all, it was as if it was made of ice, and then he took the happy invitation and left.

The Southern Champion.

Xi Ling held a bright red wedding dress and asked, "Do you like it?"

Su Nuo nodded. "Very good-looking." Su Nuo looked at the normal expression on Xi Ling's face. She felt that it was strange, but she had no way of knowing what it was.

Su Nuo thought that she should ask, but at that moment, a person in black robes appeared and said, "Master, a guest has arrived."

The corner of Xi Ling's mouth slightly curled up. "Alright." Then he said to Su Nuo, "I'll be right back. Don't run around, okay?"

Su Nuo nodded obediently.

The luxurious room was filled with a bright red color, and there was practically no place that was not happy.

Beichen sat there in his black robe, his whole body emitting a silent and ice-cold aura. Xi Ling walked in, and Beichen looked at him, his eyes were sharp but immersed in his thoughts.

However, Xi Ling smiled and said, "Beicheng Han is so fast. This wedding wine can only be drunk for three days. You are so impatient."

"Where did you hide Noel?" Bei Chenhan opened his mouth, but there was no trace of life in his voice.

Xi Ling lazily sat down on a chair. With an indifferent expression, he said, "Idiot woman is naturally trying on a wedding dress in the room. I haven't seen her wear it before, she must be very pretty."

Bei Chenghan suddenly stood up and in a flash arrived in front of Xi Ling. With a cold look in his eyes, he said, "Give me Na'er."

Xi Ling laughed, without a trace of fear, and then said disdainfully: "Beichen han, if you have the ability, then snatch that idiot girl back!" With that, he stood up and brushed past Bei Chen Han.

The expression in Beichen's eyes was a little twisted. Xi Ling turned around and leisurely said, "If not, I will treat you to a wedding wine ten days from now with that stupid woman. When the time comes, remember to eat more." With that, he ignored Bei Chen Han and walked out.

"Noel can only be mine." Bei Chenghan said while he was about to leave.

Xi Ling just snorted noncommittally and left without looking back.

Attack!

To Beichen, it was like a bolt out of the blue. The sharp sword that fell from the sky made everyone unable to react. The officials knelt down in a hall, from inside to outside, densely packed together. Unfortunately, Beichen did not even look at them, and the crying officials crawled over to hug his legs, "Your majesty, you can't, you mustn't send troops."

Bei Chen Han just looked down at him condescendingly, and then he stepped on that court official, and with a force of his foot, that court official's spine was broken, and the sound of his bones breaking was clearly heard by everyone present. Instantly, everyone's faces turned pale.
