The man who came was Ouyang Youche.
The new House Master of Ouyang’s family was handsome, tall and strong. With his practice probably in the great completeness of Cultivation Dimension, he was a rare genius.
With his practice, he could come up with his skill without walking by himself. Hua Qiyue didn’t understand why he showed up suddenly.
"Infanta, you are here." Ouyang Youche smiled lightly. He was so handsome that people and gods were indignant about his look.
"Yes, I’m here. Young Master Ouyang, I don’t expect to see you here. Are you here to kill me?" Hua Qiyue asked with a smile. She spoke so lightly to show she was not nervous at all. It was obvious that she had something or someone behind her.
"No."
Ouyang Youche shook his head lightly. "The Four Great Families are united to kill you. Infanta, don’t you know that?"
"Aren’t you from the Four Great Families?" Hua Qiyue asked in doubt. Ouyang Youche smiled quietly and mysteriously.
"Yes, but not now. Let’s make a deal. How about that?"
"What deal?"
"I’ll help you escape. You must give me the magic medicine." Ouyang Youche said in a low voice. Hua Qiyue was stunned. He said so frankly that it seemed to be in urgent need.
The dim moon shadow lengthed Ouyang Youche’s shadow, and also made his handsome face covered with a mysterious veil.
Hua Qiyue talked with Ouyang Youche for a while. And then they eventually separated. Hua Qiyue stood there to see his figure, and could not help but laugh faintly.
In a moment, here came a man in green clothes, with a tiny hare standing on his shoulder. The hare could say human’s language, and called Hua Qiyue abnormal—
"Abnormal—a few days ago, you were still at the lower level of Cultivation Dimension, but now, you have reached the middle level. You are so abnormal that you can break through one level in a few days!" The tiny hare shouted wildly and looked at Hua Qiyue unwillingly, "How can you break my record? I am the crazy level promotion man!"
The tiny hare shouted. With a faint smile, Hua Qiyue looked at the visitor and said, "Look who’s here! How’s Tianci doing?"
"Well, very well, he said he missed you very much and asked you to go back quickly." Yun Shimo went to Hua Qiyue and sat down beside her in a gentle voice.
Hua Qiyue was stunned and her eyes turned moist. Her son missed her very much, but she could not go back to see him.
There was abundant anima energy here, of course, the physical features were also suitable for battle. Hua Qiyue planned to establish fame this time to frustrate the Four Great Families’ prestige.
"They have already begun to take action—the Four Great Families have begun to come here, laying down Evil Eliminating Array to kill you." Yun Shimo laughed and said, "You are such a naughty girl, which is not only greedy for money but also unwilling to give gifts. Look, you have made the Four Great Families dissatisfied."
Hua Qiyue was feeling awkward and speechless. Why did Yun Shimo talk to her like that? Why was his tone of voice... so weird?
Hua Qiyue didn’t understand no matter how hard she tried. Yun Shimo’s attitude towards her seemed to be getting better as the time by.
She dared not to look at those bright starry pupils, as if she would be sucked into them.
Hua Qiyue was playing with the grass she picked in her palm, "I heard you were going to make Rebirth Soul-body Pellet, and now do you succeed?"
"Ha, ha, ha, if I am in his side, he will surely succeed but not fail!" The tiny hare laughed wildly and jumped on the grass. He imitated human walking around with only two feet on the ground, which was a little funny.
"Has Ouyang Youche been here just now?" Yun Shimo frowned and asked in a puzzled mood.
"Yes."
"Why did he come here?"
"For something matters."
Hua Qiyue chewed the grass on her hand. It tasted slightly astringent and sweet. She looked at the curved moon and wanted so much to go back to Hua’s Mansion.
Without asking any more questions, Yun Shimo only told Hua Qiyue Hua’s Mansion’s situation—Now Hua’s Mansion was guarded by only a few Palace Guards because most of them were send together, preparing to go to Red-crowned Crane Mountain.
Old Madame was so angry that she fell ill. Hua Liting went out every day to request to meet the Emperor. But, the Emperor did not meet him, never.
Hua Qiyue felt some guilt. After all, it was she who made dragged the Hua’s Mansion into this.
Yun Shimo found her guilty. He comforted her and his voice was as light as the breeze, "It’s normal for them to suffer now because they have enjoyed the glory you brought before. Every coin has two sides. Now let’s handle the Four Great Families first. But the people in the palace have begun to act, too."
Hua Qiyue sneered, "Huangfu Changyu is really bold. He is half-disabled and even intends to be the Emperor. Isn’t he afraid that he will be crushed by Eleventh Prince before he sits steadily on the throne?"
Yun Shimo smiled lightly, with a strange light in his dark pupils.
Suddenly, the tiny hare sneered, "Those people are coming!"
Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo raised their hands and looked down. They found that under the mountain road, there was indeed a bunch of flames moved upwards. They could vaguely see the Qi Artist’s robes those people wore.
In the Association of Qi Artist, it was the special Qi Art robe. But Hua Qiyue never went to get it. Instead, the Association sent her several sets, but she did not wear any one of them.
And the arm following behind must be the Emperor’s Palace Guards. Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows. Hadn’t these people said that they would wait for a few days? It seemed that they were afraid things would change so they came overnight.
"It’s just in time. I’ll show them what I can do, ha, ha, ha, ha..." The tiny hare laughed.
"You don’t need to cope with them. Leave them to us." Yun Shimo said lightly and glimpsed Hua Qiyue, "She has little practical experience, so let her fight against more people."
Yun Shimo was right. Hua Qiyue really lacked actual combat experience. This array was a great chance for her.
The tiny hare hummed. It hadn’t fought for many years, and it wanted to kill people. But for the sake of Yun Shimo, it decided not to interfere in them breaking the array.
The moonlight was like water or mercury, spreading down gently. And those people soon came to the foot of the mountain and stopped not far away from Hua Qiyue and others.
The four Qi Artists in front seemed to be representatives of the Four Great Families. Their practices were all above Cultivation Dimension. It could be seen that those families were really powerful.
"Hua Qiyue, you should surrender quickly! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude! And if you plummet to a horrible death, don’t blame us for being so cruel to you by the time!"
One of the Qi Artists shouted loudly.
The others also saw Yun Shimo and they could not help but frown. Although they had heard that Yun Shimo was by Hua Qiyue’s side, this alchemy master was very important for the Changjing Kingdom. If they hurt him this time...
"Your Excellency Prince Nan, Hua Qiyue is the rebel of our country, please leave quickly! Otherwise, the swords are blind, and it will be a shame if we hurt you."
Another Qi Artist said in a slightly politer way.
In the moonlight, Yun Shimo was more handsome than the immortals. He lifted his eyebrows lightly and remained as immovable as a mountain, looking coldly at those Qi Artists under the mountain.
"What if I don’t leave?" Yun Shimo asked coldly. He stood there with his clothes fluttering in the wind, just like an emperor who came to the immortal world.
A strong pressure suddenly erupted from his body. Those Qi Artists was overwhelmed by this pressure, and then they stepped backward unconsciously.
They only heard how powerful Prince Nan was through tales.
Before Hua Qiyue appeared, Yun Shimo really rarely showed up in front of the public, not to mention to fight with others.
His real strength had never been seen before. And now Yun Shimo was here, which made those Qi Artists a little fearful.
"What shall we do since Prince Nan is here too?"
"The Emperor said that whoever is there, we must slaughter Hua Qiyue!"
"Well, we don’t have to be polite!" After these Qi Artists consulted for a while, the one at heard of them in a red robe raised his head coldly. With lights flashing in his eyes, he was no longer afraid.
Hua Qiyue nodded and praised them in the heart. The Qi Artists trained by the Four Great Families were pretty good.
"Your Excellency Prince Nan, since you want to shield the rebel, don’t say that we didn’t warn you! Let’s arrange the array together!"
With a cold shout, Qi Artists behind quickly dispersed and blocked the mountainside with some strange stones. Although the stones were small, there was strange light all over them.
"It’s the Devour Devil Stone. It’s said that this kind of stone is used for Evil Eliminating Array. It’s very useful in dealing with evil beasts. Once the beast is beaten by it, it will be as painful as being stabbed by a sword. The energy of ten Devour Devil Stones put together was so powerful that they could kill an evil beast." Yun Shimo said lightly.
"Hmph, what’s precious about this goddamn stone? If in ten thousand years ago, I owned many spiritual stones!" The rabbit lay on the grass and taunted in a bored tone.
Hua Qiyue said nothing. She only knew that those people had begun to arrange an array. In Tianpi’s consciousness, Evil Eliminating Array was not a powerful array. It was not worth to be mentioned for him before.
But it was the first time for her to see others arranging an array. Besides using stones, these people also used many strange materials, such as beads or something. Of course, Hua Qiyue had only seen part of the materials.
And some advanced deployer masters could match runes with stones, but because few people understood runes, they usually used stones instead.
As for power, runes were better because they would never be damaged, but stones would.
On the mountainside, the Four Great Families’ members were standing ten miles away from those Qi Artists, staring at this scene coldly.
Although they were also Qi Artists, it was better for them to let their staff do that. If an accident should happen, those minions would die and they, House Masters, must live. It was important to survive.
"Unexpectedly, Prince Nan refused to leave. It seemed that he really admired Hua Qiyue." Ouyang Youche, riding a white horse, said quietly.
Liu Mo hummed, "Yes, Hua Qiyue is good-looking. But Prince Nan was allured by women and didn’t even care about his own life!"
House Master Xia and others were silently looking at the people arranging the array. They were serious. They vaguely saw Hua Qiyue and Prince Nan sitting and standing leisurely. They didn’t act like the people who were about to be slaughtered!
"It seems that they are calm. Does Prince Nan or Hua Qiyue have something to make them win?" Ouyang Youche said quietly again. His dark pupils were lighted up in the night.
Liu Mo shook his head displeasantly, "No, Hua Qiyue won’t break such a powerful array in her strength. Last time, the array First Prince ordered Shui Qianruo to arrange was too weak, so instead of trapping her, he was hurt."
House Master Baili said worriedly, "Hua Qiyue is a strange woman, and we should be ready for failure."
"Are you mean that we, hundreds of elite Qi Artists, can’t catch Hua Qiyue?"
"There’s another person, Prince Nan!" Ouyang Youche meant something.
House Master Xia family said then, "No matter how strange Hua Qiyue is, she isn’t as mysterious as Yun Shimo. After all, he has won the favor of the Emperor by his own efforts. Now, although we received orders from the Emperor to capture Hua Qiyue, he didn’t mention Prince Nan in it. So it can be seen how powerful he is."
