"Thank you for your guidance, sir. However, Jiu'er is extremely disgusted with me right now, so it's best that I don't add insult to injury in front of her." Ruan Tiancong said somewhat dejectedly.
Kunwu closed his jade fan and took a few steps forward. He looked at Ruan Tiancong playfully. "Young Master Ruan, are you planning to leave?"
Nodding his head weakly, Ruan Tiancong bowed to Xin Cang Qu and Kunwu respectively, "Your highness, Tiancong [2], farewell!"
"It's good to leave for the time being. Perhaps, when we meet again, there might be some unexpected benefits." Xin Cang Qu said with a smile.
Ruan Tiancong acted as if he was trying to console himself. He nodded his head and left in any direction.
"As long as you are sincere, you can do it yourself …" Kungfu turned his head to look at the departing figure of Ruan Tiancong. "If today was the day that the Lord would face his beloved, would the Lord have done this?"
When Xin Cang Qu heard this, she laughed lightly and answered decisively, "Of course not!"
Kungfu's interest was piqued even further. He stared at Yuichi with his ice-cold eyes and asked, "Then what will the heavens do?"
"There won't be anyone in this world who likes you, so where did you get the idea to do that?" Her crimson eyes blazed with fire, a magnificent sight that looked down upon the world, a radiance that could sweep away the world. At the same time, she was also a cold-blooded and heartless that could bewitch the soul, "I wonder if Your Highness is satisfied with this answer?"
Kungfu's gaze immediately became sluggish. Being roasted by that raging fire made his heart tighten. Logically speaking, that shouldn't be the case. He was afraid of the raging fire in his eyes, but why …
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Xin Cang Qu was also surprised. He hadn't done anything, so how could he have such a reaction?
"Hello, Your Highness?"
Kunu stared at him coldly.
Damn it! Damn it! What had happened recently? Why was he so crazy in front of him?
"Why isn't His Majesty speaking?" Xin Cang Qu laughed in a strange, mocking manner.
"Based on This King's understanding of Cang, if it were Cang Shang, Cang Lang would definitely obtain what he wanted at all costs, regardless of any means." His tone was firm.
A faint smile appeared on Xin Cang's lips as he let out a deep sigh. "Ayaya, Your Majesty, it is only today that I have found out that there is actually someone in this world who could guess my thoughts so accurately. This is exactly what I said about knowing one's self and knowing one's opponent."
"Same here!" Kunwu gave a faint smile and said, "But I don't know why you are trying to enlighten Young Master Ruan like that."
"What I said was just to let Young Master Ruan see the truth. This King guessed that no matter how hard he tries, Sister Su will still not look at him!"
So all of this was just a game for him, but for the two of them, this was probably the only thing they wanted to do in this life.
He held a cold smile on his lips, as if he was a devil from the underworld realm. His entire body was emitting an evil aura, and he had a look of watching a good show as he softly sighed: "These two, one of them is Hero Su, whom the other eight heroes of the Nine Hero Ridge view as their favorite, and the other is Young Noble Ruan, whom Sect Leader Ruan Mingdong thought of as his flesh and blood. Do you really not fear that they will come to you in the future to collect debts?"
"Who can say what will happen in the future?" Xin Cang Qu replied with a smile, then walked towards the direction Su Jiu left in.
He stared at the crimson figure until he could no longer see it anymore. "Come out!"
As soon as the sound of his voice faded, three figures immediately appeared behind Kungshu at an extremely fast speed like ghosts.
These three people all held long swords in their hands and kneeled on the ground, bowing towards Kunwu.
"Greetings, your Highness!"
"Ye Qiu greets your majesty!"
"Mu Yin pays his respect to Your Highness!"
So these three people were the Three Swords of Soul Seizing, which made the martial arts world tremble with fear. The hilt of the long sword in their hands had a single character engraved on it. Lonely Dust's sword had the word "Dust" on it, Ye Qiu's sword had the word "Autumn" on it, and Mu Yin's sword had the word "Concealment."
Since his debut, the Soul Snatching Three Sword had challenged two of the six great monks of the Pooh Temple, the two of them, as well as Qin Zheng, Xie Qin, Yu Bajie of the Nine Heroes Ridge, and the Black and White House Protector of the Black and White House to become famous. However, they suddenly vanished into thin air.
Moreover, over the years, no one had been able to find traces of these three people, not to mention their masters, sects, and origins. However, they would occasionally hear some rumors about them killing a dog official, slaughtering a thief or someone who was unconvinced and provoked them, causing their tendons, arms, and legs to be severed.
Unexpectedly, the Soul Stealing Three Swords were actually the person from Xie Jun!
"Get up."
The three stood up and waited respectfully for the order.
"In a few more days, I will be able to reach the Quiet Bamboo Forest. How are your preparations?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been arranged according to your orders." Lone Dust replied.
Kunlun nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, remember this. As long as I can get rid of that fire demon, I can't harm Su Jiu's life."
"Yes, this subordinate understands!" The three of them replied in unison.
Kunggeno waved them back again.
The three of them bowed and left as if they had come back.
Kunlun raised his head slightly and looked at the clear blue sky through the scattered branches with a cold gaze. A charming smile appeared on his lips, "Fire Demon, this time, this king wants to see how you will fight against this king!"
"..."
Xin Cang Qu slowed down his steps, and looked at the sad figure in the forest from afar. He felt a strange ripple in his heart. He seemed to have seen that sorrowful expression on his mother's body before …
Unknowingly, he had already walked up to that person. He then mysteriously supported her on his shoulder, as though he wanted to give her a little bit of comfort.
"Didn't I already say that? "If you continue to follow me, don't blame me!" Su Jiu thought that Ruan Tiancong had returned and angrily turned around. He was only halfway through his angry words. When he saw that beautiful face, the remaining half couldn't help but choke in his throat.
"Don't blame me for what happened to you?" There was a rare gentleness in Xin Cang Qu's gaze, and her voice also seemed to have a trace of gentleness.
In that split-second, Su Jiu's heart melted. Suddenly, there were tears that flowed down his face. He looked at Su Chen steadily and said in an extremely soft voice, "Lord Cang, how could it be you?"
