Xuanyuan Che felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.

The pain almost made him faint, and every heartbeat reminded him that he was losing the person he loved most.

As the last strand of hair disappeared into his palm, a white ring appeared in his palm.

"Do not......"

Xuanyuan Che couldn't believe that his Su Su had left him. He grabbed the air in front of him like a madman, as if as long as he was fast enough, he could capture Su Su's soul.

pity......

He had nothing left in the end.

Xuanyuan Che howled to the sky, tears of blood flowing out of his eyes, followed by a dry heave, and in the instant he covered his chest, a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out.

His eyes were bloodshot and he slowly stood up.

He bit the white ring in his mouth and bent down to pick up the long sword that had fallen to the side.

The sword blade made a sharp sound as it scratched the ground. Xuanyuan Che was like a demon from hell. His dark pupils shrank, his pale face was ice-cold, and his deep eyes seemed to be igniting two clusters of ghostly fire.

The Taoist priest who was injured by his internal force covered his chest with one hand and supported the ground with the other, and retreated backwards in fear. It was not until this moment that he realized how badly they had been deceived by Xuanyuan Yue.

If they could do it again, they would never provoke this madman even if it meant giving up their sect.

“Don’t…don’t…”

Before he uttered the word "kill me", the Taoist's eyes widened in fear, and a bellows sound came out of his mouth, but he was unable to utter a complete word.

He covered his neck, where a long cut had been made by the sharp blade. The blade was so sharp that it took several breaths for blood to appear. Blood gushed out from the Taoist's neck.

He fell backwards to the ground, his whole body twitching, and in a few breaths he died with his eyes wide open.

But his death did not stop Xuanyuan Che.

Xuanyuan Che lowered his head, his black hair stained with blood, moving without wind, and a strong murderous aura emanating from his whole body. In the blink of an eye, he flashed in front of another Taoist priest.

The Taoist's eyes were bared and he wanted to beg for mercy, but Xuanyuan Che grabbed his neck and lifted him up from the ground with one hand.

Xuanyuan Che's scarlet eyes seemed to be soaked in blood, and there was a boundless deathly aura in his eyes.

A cold voice like one diluted with poison came out of the throat, causing the Taoist to stare with his eyes wide open, unable to make a sound.

"Is it you who killed my Su Su?"

"No...not..." The strong desire to survive made the Taoist priest utter these two words with difficulty.

But the next moment, he heard the sound of bones breaking, his eyeballs popped out, and then his head drooped down like noodles.

Xuanyuan Che actually crushed his neck with such force.

This scene directly scared the remaining two people.

Knowing that Xuanyuan Che had no intention of letting them go, the two men made up their minds, picked up the weapons that had fallen beside them, and prepared to fight to the death.

But before the two of them could stand up, Xuanyuan Che had already appeared in front of them, and with a wave of his sword, the head fell to the ground.

A Taoist priest reacted quickly and blocked with his sword, but Xuanyuan Che's sword was wrapped in strong murderous aura, and it easily broke through his resistance like cutting dust. His head fell to the ground with the broken sword and rolled to the side of the lotus pond.

"Xuanyuan Che, wake up! What will happen to Su Su if you become possessed by a demon?"

Zuo Qingxian was already extremely weak, but seeing Xuanyuan Che's appearance, he knew that he was possessed by evil spirits. Regardless of whether Su Su could come back or not, he was determined not to fall into the devil's trap.

When Xuanyuan Che heard the word "Su Su", his scarlet eyes suddenly cleared up.

But the next moment, he looked around but did not see that pretty figure.

Xuanyuan Che's blood rushed to his heart and he spat out blood again.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he walked out of the mansion with his sword in hand.

"Xuanyuan Che! Don't do anything stupid!"

It was not difficult for Zuo Qingxian to tell from the blood-red murderous aura around him that he was definitely not going there to do any good thing.

It's to kill people!

The next moment, Xuanyuan Che suddenly turned his head back, his eyes were bloodshot, and his cold murderous aura was directed at Zuo Qingxian: "You are also a Taoist priest, and you are trying to stop me. Did you also have a hand in Su Su's death?"

Xuanyuan Che was pinned to the ground by his murderous aura and could not move. The veins on his forehead were throbbing violently: "I can't possibly hurt, hurt Su Su!"

Xuanyuan Che stared at Zuo Qingxian on the ground expressionlessly, then turned and left.

The cold and murderous aura also dissipated as he left.

In just a few moments, Zuo Qingxian was sweating all over. After the evil spirit left his body, he was no longer able to utter a word. He fell to the ground in grief and fell into a coma.

The woman in white walked slowly out from under the tree, picked up the tabby cat on the ground, and reached out to touch the cat's head.

If you look closely, you can find that the cat's eyes have changed from brown to the color of glass, and a faint lotus mark has appeared on its forehead.

"Let's go too. It's up to you two to figure out what's going on."

The woman in white walked away gracefully. Koi slowly opened its eyes from the ground, stared at the woman's back for a long time, then slowly walked into the bushes.

Since they parted at the Shan family that day, no one knew where Xuanyuan Che had gone.

No one knows what happened in the Shan family's backyard that day.

All we know is that from that day on, the second daughter of the Shan family seemed to have disappeared and there was no trace of her anymore.

No matter how people in Kyoto spread rumors, the Shan family never came out to explain.

Until the end, a rumor spread that the second girl of the Shan family was just as Master Shu said, and she had fallen in love with someone while Zhuangzi was recuperating.

His Majesty arranged a marriage for them, but the second girl from the Shan family did not want to marry the prince, so she eloped with the mountain man while His Majesty was admiring the lotus.

This rumor not only affected Mei Susu's reputation, but also the reputation of the Shan family. Master Wen sent people to resolve the issue, but to no avail.

Not only did it have no effect, some storytellers even made it into a story and sang it in teahouses and restaurants to make money.

Until the Master Shu who spoke ill of others at the banquet died an untimely death, and the Jingzhao Yin family was imprisoned for their crimes.

Rumor has it that the man with whom the second daughter of the Shan family eloped had his tongue cut off and hung on the city gate, and the storyteller in the teahouse was hanged from the beam.

The rumor died down overnight, as if it had never existed. Not a word of it could be heard in the streets.

It’s just that no one mentions it openly anymore, but in private, this matter will still be quietly brought up and talked about. After all, it is impossible for a good person to disappear out of thin air. Either he is dead or he has escaped.

If she died but no one from the Shan family came to mourn, everyone would think that the second girl from the Shan family had run away from her marriage.

After the Shan family banquet that day, the emperor suddenly rested from court for half a month. When he appeared again half a month later, he announced his abdication.

And the person who succeeded to the throne was the crown prince - Xuanyuan Che.

The court officials were shocked and kowtowed to Emperor Shunde, asking him to reconsider his decision.

After all, Emperor Shunde is in his prime and has no serious illness. His sudden abdication will definitely affect the order of the court and shock the whole people!

But Emperor Shunde shook his head and then stamped his jade seal on the abdication document.

He looked up at the sky outside the palace, where a pair of birds were flying. He smiled and said, "The prince is smart and wise, and can handle great responsibilities."

"And I am tired and want to rest."

In the winter of the 31st year of Dashun, Emperor Shunde officially abdicated.

The crown prince Xuanyuan Che succeeded to the throne and changed the country's name from Dashun to Guisu, calling himself Emperor Shunjin.
