Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

A steaming heat wave swept over Ye Zhen, and in the blink of an eye, she felt as if her internal organs were steamed dry.

Ye Zhen grabbed Li Xuan's clothes on his chest, wanting to say that he was fine, but when he opened his mouth, a sweet taste flowed out of his throat.

The bright red blood spilled onto Li Xuan'an's snow-white gown, instantly turning her into the size of a flower. Li Xuan'an wanted to hold her in his arms, "Ye Zhen."

He placed his hand on Ye Zhen's back to transmit his internal energy, and with his right hand he formed a seal and drew a semicircle in the air. An invisible barrier descended, and Ye Zhen soon felt the surroundings become cooler.

"How is it?" Li Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with concern, his whole body filled with terrifying murderous intent.

Ye Zhen swallowed the sweet discomfort in her throat and shook her head, "I'm fine. What's going on?"

Li Xuan'an solemnly warned, "Be good, wait for me in the barrier."

Ye Zhen seldom heard him speak in such a heavy tone. She subconsciously glanced at the dark forest and had a bad feeling, so she grabbed his sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

Li Xuan saw that her fingers had turned white at the joints due to excessive force, and her heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the back of Ye Zhen's hand. When he raised his eyes, he smiled like a star, "What are you afraid of?"

Ye Zhen's voice was trembling. "Who is he?"

"Can we send a signal to the Royal Guards?"

"Lord Yao also has soldiers there, so we can ask Yun to go there as well."

Li Xuan'an's smile deepened. She was obviously very scared, but she still thought of a way for him to escape in such a short time. "Don't be nervous. It's just a crooked way. Don't you believe me?"

"When we encountered an assassin in the suburbs before, you said that I was invincible."

Ye Zhen frowned, "That's different."

"What's the difference?"

He completely ignored the figure approaching from the darkness behind him, and stared at the little woman in front of him with a smile on his lips.

Ye Zhen thought, how could the situation back then be compared to now?

But she couldn't elaborate, so she just said, "Everything is different."

"Oh~" He dragged out the ending sound and changed the tone several times, "It's not the same anywhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the dark finally walked into the light. He was wearing a lacquered blue Taoist robe with the Bagua diagram painted on his chest. A handful of dustpan hung from his arm, and wherever he passed, there was no wind.

This man looked to be in his thirties, with deep wrinkles between his eyebrows and a cold and sharp look. He did not have the gentleness and friendliness of a Taoist priest at all. Just one look at him would make people want to stay away from him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Does the Imperial Master have a confidante by his side?"

The man stood a few steps away, glanced at Ye Zhen, and then said, "Who do I think it is? Isn't this the new sister-in-law of the Imperial Master?"

"Hahahaha, the Imperial Master is really the one who makes a splash."

Ye Zhen's heart was shocked. Did this person recognize her? That meant she had seen him before, but in her past and present lives, she didn't remember knowing this person.

Li Xuan patted her hands and said, "Wait for a moment."

He turned and walked out of the barrier, and the conversation between the two was isolated. Ye Zhen could not hear anything, and instead became more anxious.

At this moment, she hated herself for not being able to share Li Xuan'an's worries, and she realized that she knew him even less than the servants of the Dong family!

All the skills that I learned when I was the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion in my previous life are of no use at all at this moment!

Li Xuan had his back to Ye Zhen, his usually gentle features were filled with disdain, even the teardrop moles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have turned as dark as ink due to his excessive indifference.

"Luochuan."

He opened his lips and called out.

The other party raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Sure enough, no matter how long it's been, you still call my name... Tsk, how can I put it, it makes my blood boil."

Li Xu'an's eyes burned with fire, "You scumbag."

Taoist Luochuan was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and laughed, "I didn't expect the Imperial Master to use harsh words. Seven years ago, the little maidservant beside you cursed without even taking a breath, which was quite hilarious."

"Does the guy behind you also curse?"

Li Xuan'an's fingers were creaking, hatred made his whole body tense, his face was cold as ice, "If you dare to touch her, I will chop you up."

Luochuan was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was measuring the weight of these words.

After a moment, he smiled evilly, "I know you wanted to kill me when that little maid died in front of you, but unfortunately you didn't have the ability to do it then. Now..."

"Actually, I like you very much. Wouldn't it be nice for us to sit down and talk about it?"

Taoist Luochuan was the master of Li Xuan'an's mother, and now he is the junior disciple of the Qing Sect's leader. Because of his unruly nature, he went astray, and what he said and did was contrary to morality. He became possessed and severely injured his master, so he was expelled from the Qing Sect and became an evil person despised by everyone.

Most Taoists are far inferior to him in terms of cultivation and skills, and a junior like Li Xuan is the only one who dares to scold him.

Luo Chuan really wanted to have a chat with Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan not only didn't want to, he also wanted to kill him, "You showed up here, used the fire spell to injure my people, and you still want to sit down and discuss Taoism?"

Hearing this, Luo Chuan helplessly spread his hands and was about to make an excuse when he suddenly saw Li Xuan covering his chest, blood oozing from the corner of his lips, and his body fell forward half a step.

Luochuan changed his previous playful expression and walked towards him, but was blocked by an invisible force.

He frowned and looked at Li Xu'an, then glanced at Ye Zhen who looked normal inside the barrier. He was shocked at first, then puzzled, and finally said with sarcasm, "You blocked the disaster for her?"

Luo Chuan's eyes fell on Li Xuan'an's wrist. When he found an extra silver bracelet, veins popped out in his temples, "How stupid!"

"Stupider than your mother!"

"You have such a good foundation and understanding. It only took seven years for you to reach this position. You will have great opportunities to ascend in the future. How could you willingly share your luck for a woman!"

Luo Chuan cursed angrily, and with a wave of Fu Chen, he shattered the invisible air wall in front of him. The next second, Li Xuan'an's sword was like a silver snake spitting out its tongue, piercing through the chaotic Fu Chen and heading straight for Luo Chuan's throat.

The sword light illuminated Luochuan's face. There was no fear in his eyes, but excitement.

Ye Zhen held her breath and concentrated in the barrier. This was the second time she saw Li Xuan'an's silver sword.

He was tall and slender, and his dancing was graceful and elegant, and his killing moves were clean and neat, which made people feel thrilling. She twisted the handkerchief with both hands, bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, and her breathing was stagnant.

The floating dust in Luochuan was like petals flying in the sky, while Li Xuan and the silver sword merged into one, like a dragon flying through the air. The strong wind they raised rolled up the earth and split the leaves, making it impossible to see anything for a while.

When the dust settled, Ye Zhen could see clearly that all the leaves on the ground were fresh green with their tips tender and their cracks were neat and uniform.

The first one to land was Luochuan. He knelt on one knee, and the few drops of blood on the white dust were particularly eye-catching.

As soon as Li Xuan landed, there were many immortals.

The tips of his snow-white boots touched the ground, his white robe gradually tightened like a giant umbrella, and he held a long sword on his back. Although his face was pale, his ink-black eyes were still cold and terrifying.

"It was you who set up the trap in Shuiyunjian, and it was you who also took away Xiaoer's three souls and seven spirits?"

Luo Chuan chuckled and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. "It's not the first time I've done this to take money from others and help them get rid of their misfortunes."

Seeing him admit it, Li Xu'an gritted his teeth and asked, "What is her purpose?"

Luo Chuan turned around and glanced at Ye Zhen, with a cold smile in his eyes, and answered irrelevantly, "The ability of the national teacher is even more powerful than I thought. It seems that I should ask my sponsor to raise the price."

After he finished speaking, he put two fingers together in front of him, muttered a spell, and disappeared out of thin air.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Chuan appeared here just to find out his true strength. Secondly... that woman finally stopped being a coward?

He turned his head and smiled at Ye Zhen who was anxiously watching the barrier. Just as he was about to wave his hand to remove the barrier, his vision went dark and he fell down amid Ye Zhen's urgent cries.
