WEDDING

CHAPTER 101 - CHILDISH MASTER

Pei Eqin, is this what you call a high-profile show of love? I smiled, leaning into his arms.

I like it, though.

Right. He put me on the ground and stood still. He took out a red cloth from behind me and covered me with it. We can begin to worship heaven and earth now.

I took his hand and turned slowly forward to bow with Pei Eqin.

Then there was the High Hall, and finally there was the bowing of husband and wife. Pei Yicheng and I faced each other and bowed to each other in the midst of everyone's exclamations.

Gift! It was unknown who shouted from the crowd, but the entire space began to boil. From now on, I am your husband and you are my wife. We will never leave each other!

The oath struck me like thunder, sending a shudder through me. I squeezed his hand and nodded. After saying this, I suddenly thought of my first meeting with him, as well as the little things that happened along the way. An indescribable feeling surfaced in my heart. Most of the people who were originally by my side had already left. I turned around to look at the man beside me. Luckily, he was still there.

While I was lost in thought, Pei Eqin picked me up once again and said gently to everyone, Everyone, please make way!

Under the envious and resentful gaze of the crowd, I snuggled up against Pei Eqin and was still carried to a room by him. It wasn't until he placed me on the bed that I realized that it was actually red and looked very much like a new marriage.

I tugged at his sleeve. When did you set it up? Why I don't know a thing.

This is my surprise for you. Do you like it? His eyes were burning as he looked at me. Something was moving in his eyes.

I like it. I looked around me, satisfied.

Then let's begin our wedding night. He suddenly leaned close to me and kissed me precisely on the lips, tossing and turning.

I did not push him away. As he said, this was our wedding night, and I wanted to leave a good memory.

...

When I woke up the next day, I saw Pei Eqin sitting on the bed with a smile on his face as he looked at me. When he saw me open my eyes, he gently said, Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?

I nodded immediately. I had been hungry since last night, but at such a good time, I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.

Get up, I'll help you get dressed. His voice was so soft it made me feel like I was in a dream.

Pei Yiqin, why are you so weird today? Although he had been kind to me before, the two were different.

He sat down again and looked me in the eye. Because you are already my wife and the one person I want to spend my life with. Of course I want to be nice to you.

What he said made me feel a little guilty.

When he was done dressing me, we were just outside, a table of my favorite food was placed in front of me. The aroma of the food made me salivate, and I shook off Pei Yiqin's hand before sitting down and gulping down the food.

Pei Yi Qin walked to my side and sat down. He doted on me and said helplessly, Eat slowly. No one is going to steal from you.

I was too busy fighting the food to pay any attention to his words.

It wasn't until I had eaten my fill that I put down my chopsticks unwillingly. I looked at the remaining half of the chopsticks with a look of pity on my face.

You, with food, can't you even reject me? Pei Yi Qin pretended to be angry at me, but he looked even more charming than usual.

I shook my head. Food and you are inseparable.

He ruffled my hair. Come on, let's go outside and take a look.

What are you looking at? I was still sleepy, leaning back in my chair, not wanting to move.

You eat too much, go for a walk to eat. Pei Eqin's voice was just beside my ear, giving me a strange feeling of peace and quiet.

Walking in the street outside, everyone saw us with a face full of blessings, smiling at us.

I nodded to everyone, pleased with the atmosphere. Actually, I didn't do anything for them, but they are willing to face us with the most sincere smiles, unlike the people in the human world who clearly helped them, yet have a natural expression on their faces.

Speaking of which, the people here were much more loved than the people on earth.

After walking around the street, we finally arrived at a lake. The lake was filled with willow trees, and between the willow trees grew unknown words. It was the season of flowers.

It's good to be here. There was no impetuousness of the human world, nor was there the gloom of hell. Everything was just right.

If you like it, you can stay here. Pei Eqin led me onto a small boat and began to walk shakily on the surface of the lake.

What about you? Even though I know he doesn't belong here, I still like him to stay.

Everyone had a sense of relief, and I was no exception.

When he asked about this, his eyes froze for a moment, I still have something I need to do, I can't stay here forever.

A trace of disappointment flashed through his heart, and he sat on the boat in a daze while holding his chin.

But you can rest assured. When this matter is settled, we can be together forever. He took my hand, his voice firm.

What is it? I looked at him suspiciously.

The light in his eyes flickered again as he avoided my gaze. I have to do something.

Hearing his words, I knew that I couldn't convince him. Then you have to be careful, don't get hurt.

The smile in his eyes slowly bloomed like fireworks in the sky, gorgeous and charming. I just stared at him like that until he laughed out loud and I came to my senses.

...

After a whole morning of sightseeing, we finally returned to the inn. However, before we could even enter the inn, we were stopped by an unhappy Master and Mistress.

Damn Pei Eqin, you actually tricked our little disciple away without our permission and even set up a wedding. What do you take us to be? His Master stared at Pei Yi Qin, her gaze was oppressive, and her gaze was sharp.

The latter smiled apologetically and cupped her hands, I'm sorry, I was careless. But I must correct her. She was my wife from the start. No one can change her. There was no doubt about it.

Many people who didn't know what was going on gathered around us and looked at us curiously.

Seeing the situation, Mistress hurriedly came out to smooth things over. Let's go. The inn is still an inn after all. We've already prepared everything we need, let's go home.

My master coldly snorted and flung his sleeves as he walked in front. Pei Yi Qin and I looked at each other before silently following behind him.

This place wasn't far from his Master's home, and it would only take half an hour.

As soon as he entered the door, his Master stared at Pei Zi Yun with his beard raised, I don't care. You just took Yu Yan away without my permission. I am not happy. It was the image of a completely unreasonable old urchin.

Pei Yi Qin released me and walked in front of him, Master, you are Yu Yan's master, so you are her elder. I didn't think too much about this matter, but now everything has turned out to be so, it's useless for you to disagree.

After saying this, his Master's expression turned even more unsightly.

I was afraid that he would be angered and was about to go up to pacify him when I saw Master smiling as if he had changed his expression. Good, as expected of Yuyan's man. How domineering!

This contrast almost made me jump up. What kind of people are these?

Under my gaze of accusation, Master didn't blush at all as he stood up, You guys go rest first, your mistress and I will go prepare dinner. After he left, I leaned into Pei Eqin's arms. You said the one I'm worshipping is my master. He's just a little brat.

He really loves you. Pei Eqin only said one sentence and it caused my mood to improve. He was too lazy to care about what his master had done and returned to his room.

Pushing the door open, I saw that the floor was filled with flowers and the room was filled with joy. I could tell from a glance that I was extremely happy. Standing at the doorway, I felt a little dazed.

Elder sister, you're finally back. The boy's voice came from behind us. When we turned around, we saw him dressed in red, and looking at us, he cupped his hands and said, Wish big sis and brother-in-law would live together forever and have their sons! As I spoke, I shot a malicious glance at my abdomen.

It was just a simple action, but Pei Yi Qin was so narrow-minded that he pulled me behind him, blocking my sight as he seriously asked, Brat, did you seriously read the book I gave you?

Facing him, the boy seemed to have become a completely different person. He said with a serious face, Yes, yes. I was looking.

That's good. You can leave now. Pei Yi Qin was still as serious as before. He stole a glance at Pei Yi Qin and ran away happily.

After sending him off, Pei Zi Yun brought me back to my room and sat on my bed. He looked around at the decorations around us. Your master and mistress really do love you. That way, I can be at ease … He spoke so quietly that I didn't hear what he said behind him.

Of course, I've always wished to have the love of my elders, but I've never been able to do so until I met them. I leaned against Pei Eqin with a look of satisfaction on my face.

Love, kinship, friendship, I have everything. It's better than having the whole world.

Pei Yi Qin looked at me with a complicated gaze for a long time before his eyes suddenly flashed and he said, Yu Yan, since Master and Mistress have prepared everything, don't disappoint them.

What do you mean? His gaze was so aggressive that I couldn't help but to be on high alert.

Of course it's bridal ceremony. Could it be that you want to betray their good intentions? Pei Yi Qin's brows rose as an indescribable feeling caused my heart to skip a beat. I couldn't help but leap into his embrace and let him do whatever he wanted.

I finally fell asleep, but this time I didn't sleep well, and I kept feeling that something bad was going to happen.

He slept until he naturally woke up, just in time for a maidservant to call out from outside, Miss, Young Master, it's time to eat.

I lazily replied, I know. After that, he glared at the contented Pei Eqin as a trace of unwillingness flashed across his heart. It was obvious that he was the one who had put in the effort, but I was the one who had suffered.

He hugged me and said resolutely, yet reluctantly, Yuyan, I should leave now.

CHAPTER 102 - MESSAGE LOST

I grabbed his sleeve and looked at him, unwilling to part with him. Aren't you eating with your master and wife?

He pauses, takes a letter from his sleeve, and puts it in my hand. Give this to them, and they won't blame me.

I looked at the envelope suspiciously, wondering what was inside.

Pei Eqin lowered his head and pressed a kiss onto my forehead. He spoke in a solemn and sacred manner, Yuyan, take care.

It gave me a feeling of farewell, but before I could say anything, Pei Eqin was gone.

Looking at the empty bridal chamber, disappointment spread through his heart.

After staring at the letter in my hand for a long time, I still haven't opened it.

After tidying up his emotions, he came to the dining room. Master and Mistress immediately stood up and looked behind me. When they saw that there was no one around, Mistress unceremoniously asked, Where's your man? Is this your ugly daughter-in-law afraid of seeing her in-laws?

My face stiffened as I became increasingly worried about their ability to describe me. At the same time, he was glad that Pei Yi Qin was not here. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have no idea what would happen.

Seeing that they were about to say something more, I interrupted them. He said he had something to do, I said, taking a letter from Pei Eqin from my sleeve and handing it to them. He told me to give it to you.

His Master took the envelope, her face slightly changed. She snorted and said, Don't think that I can forgive him just because I left a letter. When I see him again, I will definitely return with interest.

I don't know why, but I feel that today's Master is a little strange.

Without waiting for my thoughts, my wife served me a bowl of rice and placed it in front of me. Go ahead and eat then. Rest well after eating your fill. You are currently in an extreme state.

I also happened to be hungry, so I started eating without thinking too much.

After eating, I found that Master and Mistress hadn't even touched their chopsticks. This discovery made me frown. Before, they would always try to snatch a dish when they were eating. Today, they are really abnormal!

I remembered this in my heart. I stood up as if nothing had happened and said, Master, Martial Aunt, I'm full.

Then go back and rest, you've also been tired all day. My wife and master looked at each other and said to me.

I nodded and turned away.

After walking to a place with no one around, I immediately turned invisible and sneaked back.

My intuition told me that there must be something Master and Mistress were hiding from me. Although I didn't know what it was, the uneasiness in my heart was growing.

Hiding at the door, his Master opened the letter, read it for a moment, then sighed deeply, Old partner, you said the love of a child is so difficult?

Let me see. He put away the letter and instructed his Master, Don't tell that child Yu Yan about this first. I'm afraid she won't be able to take it. She's still pregnant and is not doing well for her health.

After hearing those words, my heart thumped as a bad premonition enveloped me.

But this is her business after all. Is it really okay for us to hide it like this? Master looked uncertainly at his wife.

Mistress sighed. I know what you're thinking, but since this child entrusted us with the task, we have the responsibility of taking care of her so that he won't have to worry about our future.

His Master sighed, agreeing with his wife's actions.

Yet, I, who had been hiding at the entrance and eavesdropping, felt a chill in my heart. If I'm not wrong, the person that they were talking about must be Pei Eqin.

But what had happened to him?

I thought back to how he had seemed to be saying goodbye to me.

But didn't he have to go back and take care of something?

For a moment, my mind was in a mess as I stumbled back to my room. Everything inside was the same as when I left, except that I was missing Pei Eqin.

I held the quilt he had been lying on and made a decision in my mind. I'm going to see him!

But before that, I need to figure out what is going on, and the key lies in the letter in my master's hands.

At this moment, I suddenly regretted it. If I had known, I would have opened it and read it first.

...

In the dead of night, I jumped out of the window and went to Master and Mistress's room.

Just as I was about to sneak in, my master's voice sounded, That child is too impatient. I already told him to let me and that child Yu Yan practice medicine to save people, but he chose to once and for all.

This also shows his sincerity towards that child Yu Yan. Don't worry too much, everything is fate. There was a great deal of weariness in her voice. She was completely different from what I remembered.

In her memory, she was always overbearing and unreasonable. Was this the real her?

I don't believe in fate! His Master shouted in anger. His wife hurriedly said, If you don't believe me, then don't believe me! Why are you shouting so loudly? You scared me!

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh. My wife was still my wife. It was just that she thought of the sad things just now.

Yes yes yes, I shouldn't have been so loud. His Master apologized and changed the topic, But what if something happens to Yu Yan?

We'll leave it to fate. His wife switched back to grudging mode.

No, although this method is dangerous, there is still a slim chance of survival. We should trust that child Yi Qin. His Master said firmly.

That made me prick up my ears. I didn't want to miss a word.

But that's an ancient technique, he thought. No one knows if it'll work. His wife poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

Their conversation confused me. I just didn't know what they were talking about.

But I already knew that Pei Eqin was in danger from this departure, and it seemed to be for us.

When I thought about this, I couldn't care less. I came out and knocked on my Master's door.

Who? His Master immediately asked vigilantly.

Master, it's me. Yes, I said.

Why is it you? Why are you not sleeping at night? What are you doing here? There was a trace of reproach in his master's voice, as well as a trace of guilt and nervousness.

It seemed like he had found out the cause of the matter from him, so he continued, I can't fall asleep.

I can't sleep so I'm going back. What if I catch a cold? Even though I said that, I still heard the sound of clothes being put on.

Very quickly, the door opened. Master and Mistress looked at me, who was dressed in thin clothes, and said, Come in and let's talk.

I impolitely entered the room and went straight to the point. Master, tell me, what happened to Pei Yi Qin?

Master and Mistress looked at each other, but still took out the letter and wrote, You can see for yourself. That child does have deep feelings for you, but … Sigh.

Ignoring their sighs, I took the letter and glanced at it. My body couldn't help but sway slightly.

The contents of the letter were very simple, he wanted to go back and create a secret technique to pass on all of his merits to me, but no one had ever used this method, it was very dangerous, and he didn't know if he could succeed either, so he asked his master and his wife to take care of me.

After reading the letter, I don't know how I got out of the room. The air around me felt so cold that it almost froze me.

Yuyan, don't be silly, you're still pregnant. My wife came out with a piece of clothing and draped it over my body. She looked at me with a worried expression.

Looking at her worried face, I smiled. Mistress, I know I won't do something stupid. After my initial impulse, I had calmed down.

He's so hardworking to let us live, how can I take his good intentions into consideration? I'll wait for him to come back properly here, wait for him to come back.

That's good. Deep into the night, you look heavy. I'll send you back. Still worried, my wife pulled me toward her room.

I knew what she was thinking, and I let her walk me back to my room, where I watched me lie down, and then I turned and left.

After she left, I opened my eyes, but didn't do anything else. I just stared in front of me without blinking. My eyes were empty and lifeless.

Pei Yi Qin, you must return safely. I clenched my fists and whispered.

...

In a flash, a day passed, but there was still no news from Pei Eqin. I became calmer and quieter, quieter and quieter.

Master and Mistress were very worried, but they could not do anything about it.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, yet there was still no news from Pei Yi Qin. When I felt a mysterious power enter my body, my entire body felt comfortable. This comfort came from my soul. This discovery made me suspect what Pei Yiqin had done.

He ran to his Master's room without thinking, Master, can you take my pulse? Only he could tell now.

Master glanced at me. Sit down.

He placed his fingers on my wrist and closed his eyes to feel the pain. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me in disbelief. You're completely recovered, and your body is even better than before.

Hearing this, I was not happy. This meant that Pei Eqin had succeeded.

But what about him?

I grabbed Master's hand, and looked at him almost begging, Master, tell me the truth, with this method, will he still be able to live?

He sighed, This method was lost a long time ago. I don't know how he found it either, but the success rate is really not high, and to use this method requires a lot of magic power. One of the reasons for the low success rate of this method is because the user's magic power is too low, and the user ends up dying from exhaustion.

I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as tears started rolling down my face.

He ran out of the room, disregarding everything else. He only had one thought in his mind, I want to go find him, I want to go find him.

Yu Yan, calm down. Master's shout came from behind me, but the current me could no longer hear it.

I wandered around the yard like a headless fly until I realized that I had to use the power of the jade pendant to get out of here.

Without any hesitation, I bit my own finger and immediately left this place.

After arriving at the Infernal Realm, countless people walked out of the black palace without waiting for me to enter. They all had the same depressed expression on their faces.

The Prison Master is missing. What should we do? One of them said in a daze.

CHAPTER 103 - SIX PRISON ALLIANCE

Almost without thinking, I rushed over and grabbed him by his collar and demanded, What's wrong with Pei Eqin? Speak clearly!

I couldn't see my expression, or I would have known that I was more terrible than the stern Pei Eqin.

You … You... Who are you? Let go of me!" The man who was caught looked terrified, as if I were a demon from hell.

I am Pei Eqin's woman. Tell me, how did he disappear? I was too worried to think about anything else.

Madam? That person was stunned for a moment before weakly pointing at my hand. Can you let me go first?

I coldly threw him on the ground. The latter slowly got up and said, I don't know where the Prison Lord went. He only told me that he was going to go into closed door cultivation for a period of time.

After hearing those words, a trace of heartache flashed past my heart. When I raised my head, I saw everyone surrounding me and looking expectantly at me.

I forcefully suppressed the pain in my heart and nonchalantly asked, Did he tell you where he went?

I don't know. I only know that he went to the north. The man who was frightened by me said in a trembling voice.

Why did they go to the north? Someone from the crowd exclaimed, That's Tang Yan! Where is the Prison Lord going?

My intuition told me that this wasn't a good place to be. I asked, What kind of place is Tang Yan?

That's the place we use to imprison criminals. Someone answered.

I frowned. Where is it? Take me there.

No matter where it is, I must find him and tell him that I am fine, that our child is fine too.

I can't go now. Another person in the crowd spoke up.

Why? Wasn't it Tang Yan? Why couldn't he go?

Seeing that I didn't understand, the person who spoke looked at the surroundings. I followed his gaze and found that there were a lot of commoners gathered there. He immediately understood that this was a secret and he couldn't let these commoners know about it. Moreover, as the Prison Lord of the Seventh Prison, his disappearance was a big deal.

I straightened my expression. I was too anxious. Let's talk inside.

Thus, everyone followed me into the Black Palace. The majestic group of people looked quite spectacular.

Once they reached Black Palace, the guards immediately closed the gates. A general in armor stepped forward and said: Madam, other than the original territory of the Seventh Hell, the other six territories have turned traitor and want to unify the Seven Hells. However, their soldiers are currently in Tang Yan.

There was nothing I didn't understand.

Those people must have heard the news of Pei Yi Qin's disappearance. They all attacked him together, taking advantage of the fact that he wasn't around to capture the Black Palace. Even if he did return, he would only be able to command the Black Palace.

Heh, your calculations are not bad.

So that's why you guys were panicking? My face was cold.

This is Pei Eqin's territory. Since he isn't here now, I'll guard it for him and hand it all over to him when he comes back for some fun.

Yes. Now that the Prison Master isn't here, those people who don't have any responsibilities between us can be said to be helpless. A government official shook his head helplessly.

My eyes swept over everyone present, and I saw that they were all dispirited.

It seems that Pei Zi Yun's absence has a huge impact on their morale. I have to change this situation!

Taking a deep breath, I released all of the Fa Li in my body to freeze them in place, then I added in a voice full of Fa Li: We are all from the Seventh Prison. Do you want to watch helplessly as the other six prisons take over the Seventh Prison, and watch your family and friends become their slaves?

Because the voice was infused with mana, it reverberated back and forth in the black palace. When it landed in the ears of these people, it made them blush.

Madam is right, we can't just sit by and watch the seventh prison get occupied, we can't watch our relatives get humiliated! It was unknown who chimed in, but everyone started cheering.

A man who looked like a general stood out and said to me respectfully, Since the Prison Master is not here, and Madame is the next Prison Master chosen by the Prison Master, from today onwards, we will follow you as master, and lead you to lead us to protect our homeland!

His words made most of the crowd's blood boil. Even I could feel the warlike factor in my blood stirring, but I suppressed it. It was unknown whether Pei Yiqin was still alive or not. The child in his stomach is his only remaining bloodline, so I can't be impulsive just because of a whim. If I hurt the child, then I would be a real sinner.

Alright, from today onwards, I will be your master. Go and count the soldiers and the food. In short, take out everything related to the battle. War was necessary, even if this was hell, and war was just as cruel.

Yes sir! Everyone answered in unison before retreating in an orderly manner. Compared to the chaos earlier, it was like a completely different person.

After they left, I slowly landed on the ground. I looked at them who had already left the palace gate thoughtfully. I still felt that it was too easy for them to submit to me with just a few words. I didn't believe that I possessed such charisma.

Sure enough, not long after they left, a man in white clothes walked over and said respectfully: Madam, the Prison Lord had instructed us that if he disappears, we will let you take charge of everything in the Seventh Prison when you return.

So that's how it is. It's just that Pei Yiqin's early morning arrangements made me even more upset. So he's already prepared for everything. Only I'm still waiting foolishly in the Dark Underworld.

But because of this, I clenched my fists. Since he trusted me, I couldn't let him down.

Thank you. Did he say anything else? I took a deep breath and looked over at the man.

He said you were pregnant and told you not to work too hard. The white clothed man glanced at me and said respectfully.

I didn't know why, but after hearing those words, I suddenly got angry. Since he knows that I can't do anything, why did he disappear? Why did he leave everything to me?

The man in white calmly looked at me, his gaze was like a parent looking at a sulking child, tolerant and helpless.

Under his gaze, I helplessly squatted down and hugged my knees as I cried.

Pei Eqin, what happened to you?

At this moment, I realized that I was wrong, so wrong.

At the same time, I knew how sad he would be if he knew that I was going to die.

Thinking about that, tears fell uncontrollably, probably because of the scene, the sky actually began to rain, the curtain of rain, I was buried in the rain.

After crying for a long time, the white clothed man used an oil-paper umbrella to prop my head, If you've cried enough, then get up. If the Prison Lord sees you like this, he will definitely worry.

There was a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction in his voice, but at the same time, there was also worry.

I was almost done crying. I wiped the rain off my face and stood up. I know. I won't be willful anymore. At least I can't be willful in front of anyone until I find Pei Eachen.

It's good that you know. Go take a hot bath. He handed me the fan and walked out into the rain.

Looking at his back, I suddenly understood why he was dissatisfied with me.

Pei Eqin, as a superior, must have had a crowd, and as his escort, seeing him so tolerant of me, I was sure of it.

When I reached the palace I had once lived in, I pushed open the door and placed the steaming tub in the middle of the room. The man in white was right. Everything was ready.

I took a deep breath, wiped the rain from my face, and closed the door. I took off my clothes and stepped into the tub.

The hot water instantly warmed my cold body. I leaned against the water and comfortably sighed. Pei Eqin, where are you?

...

In the blink of an eye, the next day, I arrived at the imperial court dressed in the clothes that Pei Eqin had prepared. I saw the court officials standing there waiting for me in a neat and orderly manner, and they were no longer as flustered as they were before.

Seeing this, I smiled in satisfaction. I walked over to a chair and sat down. Everyone, please bring all of the information here. If it's not enough, I can go shopping. Of course, that's what I said in my heart.

Madam, we are already prepared. The man in white stood up and handed over something like a imperial report with both hands.

Alright. I looked at the attendants by the side who were putting away the items and continued, You guys can go back for today. We'll discuss this after I finish looking through these items.

No one objected as they bowed to me before leaving.

Suddenly, only the white clothed man and I were left in the hall. He looked at me seriously as though he was testing me and also seemed to be curious about what I would do.

I didn't mind his reading, so I openly took out a book to read.

Just by looking at it, I frowned. As a person who had received horizontal text from a young age, suddenly looking at it from a vertical perspective was a very strange feeling.

What's wrong? The man in white immediately asked, his eyes flashing with suspicion.

Right now, he is considered the representative of that group. His purpose of staying behind is to see if I can be a substitute prison lord for them. It is normal for him to see every change in my expression.

It's fine, I'm just a little not used to this type of rehearsal. I pointed at the words on the booklet and endured the discomfort in my heart as I continued to read.

Soon, he finished reading a book. It was a book about soldiers. It said that there were about 100,000 soldiers in the 7th Prison. There were also some new recruits who had not been trained and some veterans who had been injured before.

I threw down the book and asked the man in white, Where are the veterans?

They've all been sent home. The man in white answered respectfully.

I slightly raised my eyebrows. Then recall them and give them enough compensation. No matter what, they are people who have been to the battlefield before. They are definitely much stronger than those who have never seen anything before.

Experience is a very important thing.

CHAPTER 104 - TEST PASSED

I know. The man in white looked at me in astonishment before silently retreating.

However, I didn't place my thoughts on the booklet. I was thinking about how cruel war is.

Although he had never experienced it personally, he had seen too much information and watched too much on TV.

I don't want to, if I can, but sometimes people can't help themselves.

I was stunned for a while before I came to my senses and continued reading the book. However, halfway through, an unexpected guest arrived in the hall, the personal servant of the madame.

She arrogantly walked to the middle and said unhappily: What kind of status do you have? To actually sit in a position that only the Prison Master can sit in, aren't you afraid of being pulled down and beheaded?

I raised my eyebrows and glanced at her, "Whether I can sit in this seat is not up to you to decide, nor is it up to the old lady behind you. Instead, it is up to the officials of the Black Palace.

After a few exchanges, I finally understood the madame's personality. She was the kind of person who never remembered her place. If it wasn't for her special identity, she would have died several times already.

She choked on my words, but she still said stubbornly, Don't be so arrogant. Old madam is an elder after all. You are unfilial to your elders by treating them like this.

Don't give me such a big hat. You just need to remember that I am the master of this Black Palace right now. As I spoke, I released all of my aura, pressuring her to the point where she couldn't breathe.

At this time, I didn't have the heart to play with them, as the other six prisons couldn't wait to capture us.

He didn't know what the madame was thinking, that she was still fighting over these useless things.

Very quickly, her clothes were drenched in sweat, but she still got up and said harshly, Hmph, don't be too proud too soon.

After she left, I rubbed my brows and shouted, Someone, the madame has suffered a cold recently. She has been told to stay in the courtyard and not come out. I have a headache thinking about her.

Yes. Someone answered, and then there was no more sound at all.

After reading the brochure for a while, I felt more and more tired, and finally fell asleep on the record.

When I opened my eyes in alarm, I saw the man in white standing at the side looking at me. When I woke up, he said calmly, Greetings Madam. Madam, you can call me Bai Yu.

I was stunned for a moment before I understood that he had only now acknowledged me. With a slight smile, I replied, Hello.

Right now, you have already passed my assessment. From now on, you are the master of the Black Palace, but you don't need to do anything. I will do everything else well. At this moment, Bai Yu was like a completely different person from before. His entire body was exuding a confidence that would cause anyone who looked at him a second time to sink into depravity.

Of course, I'm not one of them.

So, I'm just a puppet? They've done everything, what else do they need me for?

No, you are the master of the Black Palace, but your duty now is to protect your little master well, so that he won't be in any danger. Leave the rest to us. Bai Yu was obviously reminding me.

Only after he reminded me of this did I realize that I had almost forgotten about it.

To tell the truth, letting him go wasn't a bad idea. Furthermore, Pei Eqin actually sent him to test me, which meant that his ability was deeply trusted by Pei Zi Yun. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like this.

Also, I have never been in contact with such things as war, so it's better to hand it over to a professional.

After thinking through all of this, I lazily said, Alright then. If there's anything you need, you can look for me.

In that case, I'll be leaving first. Bai Yu didn't care about my attitude at all. He walked up to the table, picked up the booklet, and left.

As soon as he was gone, I got up and went back to my room.

To be honest, it was too tiring to talk to so many powerful people. It was better to just lie on the bed.

When I woke up, it was already night outside. I looked at the dark sky and lowered my head to look at the jade bracelet on my wrist. I thought, Pei Yi Qin, did you see that I didn't let you down?

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. Did he arrange everything so that he wouldn't return?

The thought of never seeing him again made my heart ache painfully.

After standing in front of the window for a long time, I took a deep breath and decided to go to the mortal world.

Yu Yue was a ghost, so it was appropriate for him to look for someone. Also, for Southern Translation and Yue Ming, I need to see them as well.

After coming to this world, the sky had just brightened. I was still dressed in the Prison Lord's wife's gown and my hair was tied up high. It was as though I was a completely different person from before.

Stunned for a while on the street, I went straight to Yu Yue's place.

When he saw me, he was quite surprised. He looked at me for a while before revealing an expression of understanding.

It seems like you have something to talk to me about. Go ahead. Yu Yue stood in the yard and gazed into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.

Pei Eqin is missing. I want you to go to hell to find him. I said bluntly.

I kept my eyes on him as I spoke, and once he made a move, I could hold him down at the first possible moment.

It wasn't that I didn't trust him, but that the disappearance of Pei Eqin was a big deal, and that Yu Yue wasn't loyal to me at all. It was more like we were using each other. I told him the news, and I wanted to test it out.

He didn't move at all, as if he knew what I was thinking, but at the same time, he seemed to not know what I was thinking. He said lightly, Alright, I can help you with this, but after everything is done, I want you to agree to a condition of mine.

I slightly relaxed and sighed to myself. Luckily, he didn't let me down.

After suppressing the joy in my heart, I asked, What condition?

He turned slowly and said what he wanted. I want a small world at my own disposal.

Small world? I looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he wanted this for. However, I was only curious for a few seconds before I stopped myself. No matter what he wanted to do, it had nothing to do with me.

Alright, I promise you. You can go and look for it now. Subconsciously, I still believe Pei is fine, but he is injured and waiting for me somewhere.

Alright. With that, he disappeared. I stood there for a while before turning around and leaving.

This time, when I came to Yue Ming's tomb, she wasn't surprised to see me. She smiled and said, The Prison Master's wife came to see me while she was busy with her work. It can be seen that I hold a lot of weight in her heart.

The reason I came here was to tell you that I don't have time to go to the Blacknether World, nor do I have time to look for anyone. I said bluntly.

She slightly raised her eyebrows, You are really direct. However, you don't have to worry, I've changed my mind. She gave a sly smile that made her look even more charming.

She never acted according to common sense. I wasn't surprised by her words. Instead, I asked, What do you want to do?

While she was speaking, she walked in front of me with alluring steps and said in a charming tone, You only need to bring us to the Dark Underworld. We can go find the people ourselves.

But you can't go? I frowned at her, my eyes full of confusion.

She smiled again. Not before, but now. As she was speaking, a beautiful woman walked out from inside. It was the girl she hadn't seen for a long time, Ah Qin!

No, this aura and feeling didn't miss her. Instead, it was like a normal bright moon.

After thinking about it for a moment, I understood. As their number one enemy, how could they not attack Ah Qin? They didn't make a move previously, but it's not the right time yet.

This is between them and has nothing to do with me.

Alright, I'll find a way to let you in, but I hope you won't disturb the rules inside. I don't want those lovely, simple people to get hurt.

Yue Ming, who was wearing a zither skin bag, leisurely walked over. Her actions were extremely graceful, and her temperament was not the slightest bit better than Qin's.

Of course. We are just tired of living here and want to live in a different place. Don't worry, we won't disturb the rules of that world. She stepped forward and held Mo Yueming's hand. This scene looked very strange.

I couldn't help but take a few more glances. I had a bold guess in my mind, but I didn't want to confirm anything.

Alright, since that's the case, let's go now. With the jade pendants, it wouldn't be hard to bring them in, but after I take them there, I need to tell Hei Ming that as well as Master and Mistress, I didn't even say goodbye to them before I left. They must be worried for me these few days.

When I thought about this, I felt that I had failed. To think that I had even forgotten the basics.

Alright, let's go. Yue Ming and I walked out of the tomb together.

When we were outside, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen South Heaven for several days. I couldn't help but ask, If you guys leave like this, then what about South Heaven?

At the mention of him, a trace of worry flashed across Ah Qin's face, but he was glared at by Mo Yueming. She immediately changed her words, Now that he has grown up, we can't stay by his side and let him live his own life.

The meaning of these words was to let it go.

However, I was even more curious about Mo Yueming's attitude towards' Ah Qin '. No matter how I looked at it, it seemed weird.

Feeling my gaze, Mo Yueming gave me a deep look. A playful smile flashed in the depths of her eyes as she said, It's just as you thought. Let's go.

What did she say? Just as I thought, could it be that 'Arqin' was in love with another person?

However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing impossible. After all, this world was already a fantasy and having a little more was nothing. However, he liked his other self.

He took out the jade pendant, bit his own finger and dripped a drop of blood on it. The light immediately enveloped us, and in the light, I saw them looking at each other with deep feelings for each other, almost blinding me.

I quickly looked away, but I still didn't want to look, otherwise my eyes would be poisoned.

CHAPTER 105 - FAREWELL TO THE PAST AND TO THE FUTURE

Finally, the blinding white light dissipated. When he opened his eyes, he was in the Dark World.

This time, the place was not Tang Quan but the Golden Palace. At this moment, I didn't know which palace I was in and brought along two women for a long time before I found a palace maid who was passing by. I hastily went up and asked, May I ask where is your king?

Since I'm already at the Golden Palace, I might as well avoid making another trip here.

Who are you? The palace maid looked at us warily.

I am a friend of your king, you just need to bring me to see him. I didn't miss the vigilance in her eyes, but I still voiced my request.

She frowned and looked at me for a while before revealing an expression of enlightenment. So it's Lady Jin. This servant has been impolite. I hope Miss doesn't mind. As she spoke, she knelt on the ground, looking as if she was begging for forgiveness.

I went to help her up. This is your duty. Bring us there.

Mo Yueming and Ah Qin were both here, so it was a good opportunity for Hei Ming to alert him.

Yes.

They smoothly made their way to the palace in the Dark World, and coincidentally met him in the courtyard, practicing his swordplay. His posture and movements were extremely standard, making people feel relaxed and happy upon seeing him.

I stood in the doorway for a moment, watching. Darknorth put away his sword, wiped his hands, and walked toward us. When he saw the two women beside me, a strange look flashed through his eyes, but he didn't ask anything.

Where did Miss Jin go these few days? The National Aura and his wife have troubled me quite a bit. At the mention of them, Hei Ming revealed an expression that was as big as a head.

I can imagine how they grinded the Dark One, and there was a flash of warmth in my heart.

I was in the wrong. I forgot to bid you farewell. I cupped my hands at him apologetically.

Demon Yueming and Ah Qin had been standing quietly to one side the whole time. They didn't feel any presence at all.

Hei Ming and I chatted idly for a while before he looked at them and asked, Are these two your friends?

When I mentioned them, I felt a little embarrassed. I gave him a look before changing my position and whispered, They are not human, just tired of living. They came here to experience life, I hope you can take care of them.

I know it's a little too much, but I can't help it.

This is nothing, I think they are all old ghosts, and that black clothed woman looks different from normal ghosts. Coincidentally, the days here are too boring, so it's good to have them to mediate it. Hei Ming spoke indifferently and did not treat them as trouble at all.

Hearing him say that, I didn't know what to say, so I said, Then I'll thank you. Also, Master and Mistress must have given you a lot of trouble these past few days. This is all my fault. If I didn't leave in a hurry, this wouldn't have happened.

The two of them are better than goblins when it comes to grinding. I was poisoned by their tea.

Nothing. Hei Ming waved his hand nonchalantly. But since you've come, you should go and see them. They really treat you like a child and love you. Hei Ming was obviously feeling sorry for them.

I smiled apologetically again. I know, I'll leave the two of them to you. I'll go see them now.

Hei Ming nodded slightly and watched me leave.

Arriving at my master's door, I looked at the familiar mansion and suddenly felt a little scared.

What am I supposed to say when I see them, what am I supposed to say?

However, just as I was hesitating, the door of the mansion opened. Master and his wife came out with me. Then, they saw me.

They were stunned on the spot and looked at each other in disbelief. In the end, their gazes landed on me as they said in disbelief, Yuyan, is it really you? It's not my imagination?

As she spoke, her mistress pinched her master, causing him to jump up and down.

Seeing how they were acting, I suddenly laughed. As I laughed, tears flowed out from the corner of my eyes.

Seeing them walk towards me, I didn't have time to wipe away my tears before kneeling down. I apologetically said, Master, Martial Mother, I'm unfilial. I made you worry.

Child, we all know that you're in trouble, so we don't blame you for anything. Quickly get up, the ground is cold, and you're still pregnant. If anything happens to the child, then we'll be guilty.

With the support of the two of them, I wiped my tears away as I stood up. Master, Mistress, let's talk inside.

Because of my kneeling, the pedestrians that passed by all started to spectate, I didn't want to be treated as a topic of conversation by them, so I looked at my master and his wife and said.

They also noticed the onlookers and quickly said, Alright, let's go in first.

We pulled the two elders into the courtyard. My master sized me up before suddenly sighing, It's really hard on you.

His calm mood changed once again because of his words. Tears fell down his face like rain, and soon, his clothes were wet.

Seeing me cry, Master immediately became flustered. He stood there at a loss of what to do and said, Don't cry, I didn't say anything. Why are you crying?

Seeing him act like this, I chuckled and wiped away my tears. Fine, I won't cry. I'm just touched. I have such a good master and master who loves me dearly.

Alright, I'm afraid you're going. Martial Aunt took a handkerchief and wiped my tears away. She looked at me with unwillingness. Let's go. We don't need to worry here. Just remember to come visit us often.

I will. As soon as I have time, I will come visit you. I looked at them, my voice firm.

That's good. Master and Mistress each grabbed one of my hands and patted the back of my hand.

I nodded to them, then took the pendant in my hand and returned to the human world.

Due to my clothes, I attracted the attention of most people. I ignored their gazes and took a taxi to the Grand Master's villa.

When they entered, the Master and Daoist Priest were sitting on the sofa with depressed expressions on their faces.

Seeing me enter, both of their eyes simultaneously lit up. The next second, a trace of guilt flashed past their eyes, Yuyan, we were wrong. We shouldn't have listened to the words of others.

That's right, when they found out that my identity as the guardian was fake, they rarely contacted me. I understand that no matter what, they would definitely not be willing to have their famous Master and Daoist Priest be under the command of a nameless little girl like me.

If it wasn't for the fact that I am the so-called guardian, they might not have helped me in the beginning.

I always knew that, so I never blamed them.

This is nothing. The reason I came today was to tell you all that I won't be coming back in the future. Even if I come back, I won't be the same Jin Yuyan from before.

This time, I should be here to bid farewell to the past. I want to abandon my former identity and start a new life.

And my destination, is at Pei Yi Qin's side.

How can that be? You are the guardian! If you leave, what will the myriad of living creatures in this world do? The Taoist looked at me with excitement, clearly disagreeing with my thoughts.

I raised my eyebrows slightly and walked to the refrigerator by the side. I grabbed a bottle of beverage and drank a mouthful of it. What does the life of this world have to do with me? No matter if I'm the so-called guardian or not, I don't want to protect these people that aren't worth my protection. I want to live my own life and walk my own path.

But … The Daoist wanted to continue, but was stopped by the Grand Master. Alright, since this is the path she has chosen, then don't say too much.

Although the Taoist refused to accept this outcome, in the end, he did not speak.

Grand Master understands me. I smiled gratefully. He was right, I hadn't come back to ask for their permission. I had come to tell them.

Are you leaving now? The Grand Master looked at me unwillingly as a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, my heart didn't feel good. It didn't matter if they didn't trust me before, at least the Grand Master had always treated me like a child.

Yes, now that Pei Yi Qin's whereabouts are unknown, I need to protect the seventh prison for him. You all should do what you all should in the human world. I sighed and left stealthily.

Walking out of the villa, he couldn't help but feel the corner of his eyes ache.

It was easy to say goodbye to the past, but it was not that easy to do so.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in my heart, I was about to go to the mall to buy something when Nan Yutian blocked my way.

Seeing him, I was elated. However, before I could say anything, he grabbed my hand and said, Pei Yi Qin is already dead. Are you really going to defend him for the rest of your life?

When I mentioned this word, my gaze chilled. He didn't die, I emphasized.

Jin Yuyan, even if he didn't die, he still went missing. He couldn't even protect you, so why must you go with him? Nan Shitian's words were still unpleasant to hear, but his voice was choked with pain.

I took a few steps back and coldly looked at him.
