The forbidden love between a ghost and a villain

She walked lightly with lotus steps to the spirit-testing stone. Her movements were graceful, and every move attracted everyone's attention.

She placed her delicate hand on the spirit stone, and in an instant,

The spirit stone burst out with a dazzling red light, illuminating the entire hall.

"Top-grade mutated fire spirit root!" The Immortal Master's voice was trembling slightly.

Top-grade spiritual roots are rarely seen in a century. With such talent, the future is destined to be limitless.

Li Xinran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he had anticipated this result.

Just as everyone was sighing, Li Chengze, who had been silent all the time, slowly walked forward.

He was thin and inconspicuous among the many princes and princesses, and was even a little timid.

"I heard that the Seventeenth Prince has been weak and sickly since childhood. I'm afraid he doesn't even have spiritual roots, right?"

"Without spiritual roots, he can only be an idle prince. It's a pity for the prince's identity."

There were whispers around, but Li Chengze seemed not to hear them.

He walked straight to the spirit-testing stone and placed his hand on it.

Silence, silence.

The spirit stone showed no reaction at all, as if it were an ordinary stone.

Everyone shook their heads in disappointment and were about to start mocking him.

Suddenly, the Spirit Stone burst out with a dazzling blue light.

The light was brighter than any other time before, almost blinding people.

"Heaven...Heavenly grade water spirit root!" The immortal master's voice changed tone.

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Li Chengze in amazement, as if they had seen something incredible.

Li Chengze himself was also stunned. He didn't expect that he, who had always been ridiculed as a waste, actually possessed the legendary heavenly spiritual root!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty! The five princes are all outstanding, especially the Seventeenth Prince and the Princess.

He is a peerless genius possessing both heavenly and supreme spiritual roots. Given time, he will surely bring glory to our dynasty!" Taoist Qingsong, the immortal master of the Changshou Sect, said excitedly.

Finally, Li Chengqian, Li Chengyou, Li Xinyi, Li Xinran, and Li Chengze,

The five people were selected by the Changshou Sect and brought back to the sect to practice, and from then on they embarked on the path of cultivating immortals.

Taoist Qingsong, the immortal master of the Changshou Sect, stepped forward, his demeanor as an immortal.

With white hair and youthful face, he nodded slightly to the people in the hall and said loudly:

"I, Qingsong, believe that all the princes and princesses need to say goodbye to their loved ones.

In half a minute, we will set out to return to the sect. We can go down the mountain to visit relatives only after we have established our foundation."

As soon as Taoist Qingsong finished speaking, the hall was suddenly filled with cries and shouts.

The princes and princesses bid farewell to their mothers.

Only Li Chengze and Li Xinran seemed particularly calm.

Li Chengze had not been favored since childhood and had a weak relationship with Concubine Hui, so naturally he was not too sad at this moment.

As for Li Xinran, she showed extraordinary talent for cultivation since she was young and was deeply loved by the emperor.

But her heart is high, and she only wants to embark on the path of becoming a strong person.

She didn't care about the wealth and splendor in the palace at all.

"Mother, I will work hard to cultivate and become a strong man as soon as possible, bringing honor to our family."

Li Xinran bowed slightly to the queen, speaking in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

A complex emotion flashed in the queen's eyes. She took Li Xinran's hand and said softly:

"Good boy, your mother will be waiting for you to come back."

Shen Meng floated to Li Chengze and asked curiously:

"Seventeenth Prince, everyone else is packing their bags crying,

Why are you still standing there? Aren’t you going to pack some things?”

Li Chengze was startled by Shen Meng's sudden question.

He turned his head away uncomfortably, not wanting to look at Shen Meng's horrible expression, and whispered:

"I...I don't have anything to pack."

Then he turned around and walked up to Xiao Dezi,

"Xiao Dezi, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

Xiao Dezi is the eunuch who has been with Li Chengze since he was a child, so he naturally has some feelings for Li Chengze.

Xiao Dezi also knew that Li Chengze wanted to leave the prison of the palace.

"Hey, I'll wait for you to come back."

Shen Meng looked at Li Chengze's actions and asked with her head tilted:

"Aren't you taking him with you?"

Li Chengze shook his head, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone:

"That's a treatment only enjoyed by favored princes. How could I dare to ask for it?"

Then Li Chengze took off a sachet from his waist and gently stroked the delicate embroidery with his fingers.

There was a hint of warmth in his eyes: "I am alone, and this is the only thing I can take away."

Shen Meng floated closer curiously and saw the style of the sachet clearly.

The sachet in Li Chengze's hand was made of a piece of fine black silk.

The stitches are so fine and precise that it's obvious that it was made by a skilled hand.

The edge of the sachet was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold thread, which sparkled in the sunlight.

The sachet was bulging, filled with some kind of fragrance, but it emitted a faint, soothing aroma.

"This is what my mother left for me." His voice was very soft.

Upon hearing this, Shen Meng entered the sachet.

"What are you doing? Come out here."

Shen Meng poked her head out with a playful smile and winked at Li Chengze:

"Oh, don't be so stingy, Seventeenth Prince.

I just saw that you were alone, so I wanted to keep you company!

Besides, if I follow you, you have to find a place for me to stay, right?

I think this sachet is good, delicate and small.

It’s warm in winter and cool in summer, and you can carry it with you, how convenient! ”

Shen Meng made a face and shrank back into the sachet.

In fact, what Shen Meng wanted was that this sachet was so precious to Li Chengze.

Of course I won’t throw it away. I will definitely carry it with me so that it will be convenient for her to follow me.

Li Chengze closed his eyes helplessly, repeating in his heart

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."

Half a minute later, Immortal Master Qingsong flew out of the palace with the five princes and princesses on swords.

Li Chengze stood on the flying sword, overlooking the increasingly smaller palace below.

There is no trace of nostalgia in his eyes:

"I finally left this place where people are eaten without leaving any bones."

The flying sword broke through the air and headed straight for the gate of Changshou Sect.

Along the way, Li Chengyou looked at Li Chengqian excitedly,

"Third brother, is this what it feels like to fly on a sword? It's so refreshing! I want to fly like this in the future."

The fifteenth princess Li Xinyi was clinging to Li Xinran's back. She was wearing a light yellow dress and looked cute and lovely.

At this moment, he was looking around curiously, exclaiming from time to time:

"Wow, sister, look, what mountain is that? It's so high!" "Look, look, that river looks like a silver ribbon!"

In contrast, Li Chengze seemed particularly silent. He stood alone at the back of the flying sword.

He lowered his head, watching the mountains and rivers passing by rapidly beneath his feet, without saying a word.

Shen Meng poked her head out of Li Chengze's sachet and looked at the silent Li Chengze.

Then he looked at the princes and princesses chatting and laughing in front of him:

"They seem to have a really good relationship, why don't you chat with them?"

Li Chengze smiled faintly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile:

"They grew up together, so naturally they have a deep bond.

I am just an unpopular prince, so why should I bother myself with trouble?"

Taoist Qingsong stroked his beard, glanced at the princes and princesses behind him, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"The children this time all have pretty good qualifications."

Taoist Qingsong smiled slightly and said loudly:

"Hey kids, here we are."
