His heart felt like it was being entangled by countless vines. Every inch it tightened caused blood to ooze out. The droplets of blood were like beautiful flowers that could take a life. Although nothing had happened last night, he still didn't know. Could it be that in Xiao Yuxuan's heart, there really was nothing for her to care about? Why? It's not fair.

"A catalpa ah..." "Don't be sad, Xiao Yuxuan is not the only man in this world. That Gong Wang is a young man, and his elegance definitely won't lose to Xiao Yuxuan. Why must you be sad for that insensible guy …" Noticing that Duan Zitong was in such a state, Duan Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Yuxuan is really going to fight?" Duan Zitong's eyes narrowed, forcing all her tears back into her stomach. Her voice grew colder and colder. She refused to give up. After working so hard for so long, she had no reason to let go.

"Catalpa..." If you truly cannot let go, royal father will grant your wish. However, royal father cannot guarantee your happiness … " Seeing Duan Zitong's desperate and sorrowful expression, Duan Chen couldn't bear it anymore. Perhaps his decision was unfair to Xiao Yuxuan, but he had already let down Mu Yan and he couldn't let her down.

"Father, your son is worrying you. Since Yuxuan wants to go, your son cannot stop him. What your father said is not sweet at all, but your son will not give up either. Your son believes that I will wait until Yuxuan is willing …" Duan Zitong struggled to get up, his sparkling eyes filled with determination as he looked pleadingly at Duan Chen.

"Zitong, are you sure about your choice?" Duan Chen's expression was heavy. He admitted that he wasn't a good father, but he had been trying his hardest.

"I'm sure!" I plead for royal father's consent! " Duan Zitong bent down respectfully, and the instant she lowered his eyes, an icy coldness flashed through them.

If that's the case, royal father will not force you to marry Duke Gong. Forget it, Xiao Yuxuan merely wants to find Xiao Yin, you can rest assured that this expedition will not be life-threatening, but as for whether or not he can change his mind, Zi Tong, royal father will advise you to prepare your mind. Alright, you can leave now. Duan Chen dejectedly waved his hands, sighing in his heart. Why is it that even his daughter is infatuated with him, while the object of his infatuation is actually the same person?

At this moment, Ling Ziyan's smile suddenly appeared in Duan Chen's mind. It was so pure and pure, as if it was his first time seeing it.

"Why are you here again …" Purple Smoke... Are you taking revenge on me? From the moment you passed away, day and night appeared in my mind. Why … "I love Yu Die, but why didn't she come even once? Zi Yan, ah, Zhen is really confused …" Could it be that the person I have always loved … "It's you …" Even if he was an emperor, he could be weak at times. Duan Chen powerlessly sat on the dragon bed, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

After returning to the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong ordered the Blue Orchid to close the door. In the next second, the sound of shattering could be heard, lingering in the air above the pavilion, lingering for a long time.

Why!? Xiao Yuxuan! Why did you leave? What's wrong with me, Duan Zitong? You want to be so cruel to me! "Ahh!" Duan Zitong flung open her arms and ripped off the embroidered cloth on the table. The teapot and cup fell to the ground, and in an instant, the shattered pieces of the teapot stabbed into Duan Zitong's palm. "So deep!

"Princess!" At the side, Qing Lan was panic-stricken, but she quickly walked in to get the white gauze and medicine. When she came out, Duan Zitong was already sitting quietly by the table, her eyes cold and sinister. Her gaze was directed directly at the Tutor Manor, and the vicious power within seemed to burn the entire place to ashes.

"Princess, please endure the pain. This servant will pull out the fragment for you …" Seeing the dark red blood flowing out from Duan Zitong's hand, Qing Lan frowned slightly.

Duan Zitong was speechless. Her gaze remained fixed on the opposite Hall of Tutor. At this moment, the pain in her heart was far heavier than the pain in her hand. Qing Lan understood her master's meaning. She held Duan Zitong's hand with one hand while she clenched the fragment with the other.

"Princess, do you really want the Prince to leave the palace just like that?" Qing Lan tried to divert Duan Zitong's attention.

"That's right!" My short absence was for the sake of being able to forever stay by my side! "Ugh …" Suddenly, Duan Zitong frowned. At this moment, the fragment had been thrown to the ground by Qing Lan.

"Princess, please forgive this humble servant's stupidity." Qing Lan immediately sprinkled the medicine on Duan Zitong's hand as she questioned.

"As long as Xiao Yuxuan isn't in the Imperial City, Duan Mu Yan will be missing a helper. Three days later is the day Xiao Jin Feng will take in her concubine and it will also be the time when Duan Mu Yan dies. It's about time for Yu Xuan to leave tomorrow." When he returns, everything has changed. Since Duan Mu Yan is dead, no one will be able to compete with me for anything. " Duan Zitong said in a cold voice, a strange light flashing across her eyes.

"The princess is wise. As for Su Jin Xiu …" When she mentioned Su Jin Xiu, Qing Lan suddenly thought of herself, and remembered the humiliation she had suffered last night.

"Ugh …" The pain from her hands made Duan Zitong groan subconsciously.

"Sorry …" "Qinglan's hands are too heavy …" Qing Lan came back to her senses and said in fear.

"It's fine. That Su Jin Xiu naturally has to die. Otherwise, someone will find out about our relationship sooner or later." Alright, I need to make a trip to the Tutor Hall. Wait here. " Duan Zitong abruptly stood up. She wanted to see how Xiao Yuxuan would face her.

As she watched Duan Zitong's leaving figure, Qing Lan fell into deep thought once more. If it wasn't for the fact that she had yet to take revenge, she would never continue to live on in this world with her money like her life! I, Qing Lan, swear that if I don't tear you into pieces, I will be struck by lightning. As Qing Lan spoke, she slowly pulled out the golden leaf from her bosom. A cold light flashed in her eyes.

Gui Luosha! Inherited Jade Pendant! Treasure? How trustworthy was money like life?

Even before arriving at the Tutor Hall, Duan Zitong had already heard the melodious melody of the flute. It was so melodious that it was heartbreaking. Duan Zitong was able to discern that this was a butterfly love flower.

Duan Zitong deliberately made light footsteps as she walked into the Tutor Manor. The sound of flutes could be heard from within the inner chamber. Duan Zitong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but her sharp gaze immediately softened. The door was not closed yet. When the snow-white robe entered her sight, Duan Zitong became infatuated once again. Xiao Yuxuan stood by the window with the jade flute in his hands. His long hair fluttered in the wind. His clothes fluttered in the wind, making his seem like a direct Immortal.

Xiao Yuxuan's flute music suddenly stopped as he felt someone barging in. However, before he could turn around, he heard Duan Zitong's questioning.

"Yuxuan's flute melody is very beautiful, but it's also very desolate. Putong would really like to know, just who is the one who misses his name in the flute melody?" With a trace of disappointment in her gentle voice, Duan Zitong walked over to Xiao Yuxuan's side with small steps. Her gaze followed Xiao Yuxuan's gaze and found that it was in the direction of the Xiao manor.

"Yuxuan greets the princess …" Duan Zitong was still as humble as before, but she was still as calm as still water. She couldn't help chuckling bitterly when she heard the question.

"I know that you requested for royal father to set off, right?" Duan Zitong turned her gaze towards the man before him. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't imagine what this handsome man looked like on the battlefield. How valiant and valiant he must be.

"Reporting to Princess, Father has not returned from his months of war. As the son of a human, Yuxuan is truly worried. That's why he has such a request. I hope that we can repay this request to the Imperial Court and fulfill our responsibilities as subjects …" Xiao Yuxuan's voice was low, and his confidence was obviously lacking. Ever since Duan Zitong entered the room, she had not looked at him.

"Responsibility... Could it be that in Yu Xuan's heart, there's only the responsibility of being a son and a subject? " A light flickered in Duan Zitong's eyes as she looked expectantly at Xiao Yuxuan, hoping to see a trace of reluctance in those clear eyes.

"Princess, Yuxuan... "Yuxuan has recommended your new Imperial Tutor, Elder Ji, to the Emperor. Elder Ji is knowledgeable and far more knowledgeable than Yuxuan. I believe that Princess Ji has learned much more from him than Yuxuan." Xiao Yuxuan continued to evade, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. He didn't know how to face Duan Zitong.

"If Yu Xuan leaves, what's the use of having Mu Zitong ask for the honored tutor? Could it be that you don't feel a single bit of Zitong's feelings for Yuxuan? "The catalpa is asking for nothing in return. You just want to know, in your heart, there's no such thing as a catalpa?" Tears flowed down her cheeks, glittering in her eyes. Even if her sincerity towards everyone else was fake, she truly had feelings for Xiao Yuxuan.

"Princess... Jade Xuan... Yu Xuan could only apologize. At least for now, he couldn't accept everything that had happened. His heart was already dead, and he couldn't pretend to be someone else … "Yu Xuan knows that this is unfair to the princess, but there's nothing he can do …" Xiao Yu Xuan choked and said guiltily.

Tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. Duan Zitong retreated a few steps, letting the tears roll down her cheeks as she smiled wryly.

"The catalpa understands …" When the Ping Wang leaves for the battle tomorrow, the catalpa wishes the Ping Wang a successful return. No matter where Yuxuan is, the catalpa tree will silently bless you in the palace. Let the catalpa tree use tea in place of wine to bid farewell to the Ping Wang! " Duan Zitong choked with sobs. She picked up the teapot beside the table and poured the tea into her cup before gulping it down.

"Jade Xuan …" "Thank you very much." The moment the last syllable was uttered, Duan Zitong had already left. The moment Duan Zitong left the room, Xiao Yuxuan could clearly hear a heart-wrenching wail.

The night became increasingly tranquil. As the wind blew, the snow hanging on the branches rose up one after another, sparkling and translucent like jade. The vast sky was sparkling with specks of starlight, yet it seemed so powerless.

With a swish, a black shadow flashed past the skies, leaving behind a scene of shock.

"Bing-Er greets Master!" Leng Bing Xin bowed respectfully.

"Get up, what about Ye Li?" Duan Xingyi had sword-like brows and starry eyes; his handsome face was slightly grave. Leng Bingxin did not respond, because she knew that Ye Li was outside.

"Ye Li greets Master!" Sure enough, as soon as Duan Xingyi finished speaking, that figure immediately entered through the window.

Shen Han Xin Sect has a total of five assassins, one of them is Gui Luosha! "If I remember correctly, this Ghost Raksha is the one who killed my General Nan Yue. His martial arts are extraordinary, and I believe he is above the two of you, I just want to remind you that if necessary, you will come to my chamber through the secret path in the backyard. I do not want anything to happen to you." He never expected that Shen Hanxin would be so ruthless this time. He even sent out the top elites of the Hawkdog organization.

"This subordinate understands, but …" Leng Bing Xin frowned and hesitated.

"But what?" Duan Xingyi looked at Leng Bingxin with his fake eyes.

A few days ago, Bing'er was in the room having some luck, when she suddenly heard about a dozen experts entering and exiting the Purple Butterfly Pavilion. Bing-Er was surprised for a moment, and then secretly went to the Purple Butterfly Pavilion to investigate, only to be discovered by Meng Yan, but after she had entered the sect, she only saw Yan Wuhen. Bing'er admitted that she had made a misjudgement at first, but this Meng Yan is not an ordinary person, if she was Gui Luosha, then Bing'er would have died long ago, so … Leng Bingxin raised her eyes to look at Duan Xingyi.
