Chapter Thirty-Four: Tong Er is his woman

  The night color is thick like juice, the night wind, with a hint of chill.

  Deep and profound palaces in the dark night, unlike the golden splendor of daytime, majestic and magnificent.

  Under the cold moonlight, the high and low eaves of the deep palace buildings revealed a few hints of eerie gloom.

  A faint light flickered, like the cruel eyes of a demon...

  Today's Xiao Ya Palace is quiet, with only the sound of the guards standing guard outside the palace, and inside the palace, it is so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground can be heard.

  At this moment, in one of the spacious and luxurious rooms in Xiao Ya Palace, a slender figure stood with his hands behind him at the window.

  The soft, silken moonlight pours in through the intricately carved window, casting a gentle glow on the slender figure, making it seem like a poppy blooming in the dead of night, exuding ultimate beauty and mystery.

  The wind rose and blew away that white dress, with her long black hair tightly following the night wind, rising in a beautiful arc behind her.

  It was unclear how much time had passed when three more auras appeared in the originally quiet and spacious room.

  The white-clothed youth with his hands behind him, standing in front of the window, still didn't move, only his low, cold voice slowly spread through the dark night.

  "How's it going?"

  "Reporting back to Your Highness, all 155 martial artists who chased and killed Han'ergou have been secretly killed, not a single one left!"

  A voice devoid of warmth spoke up, like a machine, and it was indeed Gu Qing, one of the three great dark guards of Xing Xiao Ran.

  Born in an imperial family, although there is endless wealth and honor to enjoy, at the same time, it is also impossible to avoid the crises surrounding him.

  In order to protect themselves in this ruthless imperial palace, each prince naturally has some powerful guards around them.

  At this moment, the three black-clad men kneeling on the ground with a cautious and respectful expression behind the young man were the three great dark guards who had been secretly protecting Xun Xiao Ran all along.

  Lonely shadow, lonely affection, lonely moon.

  The three of them were all carefully selected and underwent rigorous training before they could follow Xiang Shuangyan, so their martial arts skills were naturally not low.

  And since childhood, he has been taught to cut off emotions and love, devoting his life only to serving his master.

  Only to see Gu Qing finish speaking, the lonely moon beside him continued to speak in a similarly formal tone, detailing Han Xi Tong's life and the bloodbath at Feng Ming Manor.

  "Your Highness, at this moment there are many unfavorable rumors about Miss Han outside. Do you want to put an end to this matter?"

  Although it is said that the imperial court and the martial arts world have always adhered to the principle of "river water not offending well water", however, based on the recent attitude of their own master towards Han Xi Tong, it is enough to let them know that Han Xi Tong is different in their master's heart, therefore, Guo Yue had this question.

  But unexpectedly, after Lonely Moon finished speaking, the white-clothed youth who had been facing away from them remained silent.

  The figure with his back to them cast a cold and mysterious shadow, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

  It wasn't until much later that the white-clothed youth slowly turned around, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at the three most trusted subordinates in front of him. The absolutely beautiful and unparalleled handsome face no longer had its former simplicity and weakness.

  A robe embroidered with golden-edged auspicious clouds, emitting a strong cold aura from his handsome face, those narrow and good-looking phoenix eyes gleaming with a sharp and sinister light that didn't seem to belong to someone of his age.

  "Not necessary."

  Her red lips lightly raised, her brief words shocked him.

  In response, Gu Yue and the others all looked puzzled, but didn't dare ask more questions.

  But in her heart, she couldn't help but wonder, had they misjudged the importance of Miss Han in their master's eyes?

  In fact, what they didn't know was that compared to the matter of the martial arts world, Xiang Xuan was even more afraid that Han Xi Tong would leave him.

  Because of the investigation today, Ling Xuanran vaguely guessed that Han Xi Tong was because outsiders in Jianghu were constantly looking for her, so she would stay in the palace to take refuge.

  It was for this reason that he chose not to help her with Jianghu matters, because only then would she stay obediently by his side...

  Thinking in her mind, Xun Xiao Ran suddenly thought of another thing and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

  "What is the relationship between the young master of Mo Jian Mountain Villa and Tong Er?"

  "Uh...... this......"

  Bei Jingxiao suddenly asked, and Gu Yue involuntarily lowered his head and hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that he didn't know, but rather...

  "Speak!"

  Perhaps sensing that Gu Yue was hiding something, Xuan Xiao's tone involuntarily turned cold, and his gaze towards Gu Yue became even more frigid, making one's hair stand on end.

  Feeling the sharp and piercing gaze, Guan Yue's heart couldn't help but tremble, so she quickly told everything she knew.

  "Mojian Manor's young master Mo Nan was once the cousin of Han Gongzhu, and they had originally planned to get married this year. If it weren't for what happened later..."

  Although what was said after the lonely moon was never explicitly stated, everyone had already understood it in their hearts.

  Xing Xiao Ran's body emitted an even colder aura after hearing Gu Yue's words, causing the temperature around him to seemingly drop significantly.

  His heart felt as if it was being brutally hacked and slashed by a dull knife at this moment, the pain almost suffocating him.

  Just thinking of Han Xi having another man in her heart, although that man is already dead, but he took away Xi's heart.

  Could it be that Ling'er still has feelings for this man?

  No, Tong Er is his woman, so in her heart there can only be him, Xue Shaoran!

  No matter what, he must make Tong'er fall in love with him! He is willing to stay by his side!

  At this thought, Xing's icy eyes suddenly shot out a hint of determination!

  ……

  It's been some time since I last left the palace.

  These days, Xing Shuang went to the study room as usual every day, while Han Xi Tong let Xiao Dezi and You Er take her to play in the palace.

  However, although the palace is magnificent and beautiful, looking at it for too long will also cause visual fatigue.

  Fortunately at this time, Han Xi Tong discovered a good place where she could spend her days, that is ——

  Library!

  The largest library within the palace, comparable to a modern large public library.

  All I see is that this library is quite large and there are many varieties of books inside, numbering in the tens of thousands, too numerous to count.

  What made Han Xi Duan feel relieved was that the font of Tian Xuan Imperial Dynasty was exactly the same as Traditional Chinese characters. For someone who had a crazy love for ancient artifacts, it was naturally not difficult for her!

  Anyway, people outside are looking for her everywhere now, and she can't go out. It's just right that she can use this time to kill some time in this library, and also take the opportunity to find out if there is any information about the evil martial art 'lian qing' that her previous incarnation practiced.

  As for this "practicing emotions", even if it's his own ex, he doesn't seem to fully understand this evil martial art either.

  Because Mo Nan's death was a huge blow to her predecessor, she secretly kept it from her aunt and went alone to the black market to buy this evil martial arts manual.
