Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

The original valley scenery gradually distorted and changed, first turning into a misty swamp that emitted a foul smell. The ground under the men and their servants' feet instantly became muddy, and exclamations rang out one after another.

Then, the scene changed, and blazing flames rose out of nowhere. The raging fire swept towards them, as if to devour everything.

The man remained calm despite his shock and tried to wield his sword to pierce the illusion, but it was all in vain. The attendants, in a panic, fled in all directions.

As Meng Qiqi moved the glass lamp in her hand, the illusion became more realistic and terrifying.

When they were sure that they were deeply trapped and unable to escape, Meng Qiqi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and quietly turned around to leave the bamboo forest.

After the illusion created by this glass lamp ends, they will not remember anything about the Linglong Pearl.

As soon as Meng Qiqi came out of the valley, she saw Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi waiting for her there.

Meng Qiqi walked quickly towards the two of them. Xue Chongzi smiled and said, "Miss Meng, are you hurt?"

Meng Qiqi shook the glass bracelet on her wrist and said playfully, "Of course I'm not injured."

The three of them set off for the inn.

When we arrived at the inn, we saw Gong Shangjiao and others already waiting in the lobby.

As soon as Meng Qiqi and the others stepped into the inn, Gong Shangjiao's gaze swept over them.

Meng Qiqi's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm.

Master Xue spoke first: "Our matter has been resolved."

Gong Shangjiao nodded slightly, but his eyes stayed on Meng Qiqi.

At this time, the inn waiter came hurriedly with wine and food and accidentally bumped into Meng Qiqi.

Meng Qiqi's body swayed, and the glass lamp on her bracelet almost fell off.

Gong Shangjiao flashed and caught the glass cup.

He studied the glass cup, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "This thing is very strange."

Meng Qiqi was startled and quickly reached out to take back the glass cup, laughing dryly, "It's just a little toy."

No one investigated further.

After everyone entered the private room, the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Meng Qiqi coughed lightly to break the silence: "I discovered the presence of mutants near the mountain behind the palace gate, and I was dealt with by chance."

Gong Shangjiao looked up at her: "Oh? How did you solve it?"

Meng Qiqi rolled her eyes and started making up a story: "I used a special powder to sprinkle around the mountains. That powder, combined with fire, has a great killing power against mutants. They gradually dissipate when they get close."

Gong Shangjiao crossed his arms and smiled, "Miss Meng is really amazing. I wonder where this powder came from?"

Meng Qiqi was speechless for a moment, thinking about how to make up her lie, when Xue Chongzi came to her rescue and said, "Brother Jiao, the mutant has been eliminated now, and that's the key point."

Gong Shangjiao glanced at Xue Chongzi and didn't ask any more questions.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk.

Meng Qiqi used the excuse of going out for some fresh air and walked to the backyard of the inn.

She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt lucky that she had been able to fool him for the time being.

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps behind her. Meng Qiqi turned around and saw that it was Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Yuanzheng slowly approached her and said, "Qiqi, I've seen that mutant before. His aura is very familiar to me. He can't be dealt with by ordinary means."

Meng Qiqi's heart suddenly jumped up, and she forced a smile on her face: "Master Zheng, what do you mean?"

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Meng Qiqi quietly for a long time and sighed softly.

"Qiqi, I don't really want to discuss the matter of that mutant with you. No matter who you are or where you came from, I don't want to know."

Meng Qiqi felt inexplicably a little unnatural, but she immediately returned to her cold and calm demeanor.

Gong Yuanzheng laughed self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps from the moment I first met you, I've had a different feeling in my heart. Those so-called truths are no longer important to me now."

Meng Qiqi lowered her head slightly, feeling mixed emotions.

She didn't expect Gong Yuanzheng to give up his investigation into the matter so easily.

"But, Master Zheng, aren't you afraid that I might harm you?"

Gong Yuanzheng took a step forward and gently held her hand.

"If you wanted to harm me, you wouldn't have to wait until now."

Meng Qiqi felt the warmth of his hand and her face turned red unconsciously.

"So what are you going to do next?" Meng Qiqi asked softly.

Gong Yuanzheng looked into the distance with a firm gaze.

"As long as you don't harm anyone in the palace, everything else is up to you, and I just want to stay by your side."

Meng Qiqi felt a ripple in her heart, and she didn't want to continue developing the relationship with Gong Yuanzheng.

He slowly pulled out the hand that Gong Yuanzheng was holding, his eyes calm but determined.

"Master Zheng, I understand your feelings for me, but we are not on the same path after all."

Gong Yuanzheng was stunned, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Meng Qiqi took a deep breath and continued, "You were born in the palace, and you carry the responsibilities and missions of the palace. That is your root, and it is also your bond."

"As for me, what I long for is to roam freely in the martial arts world, to see all the beautiful scenery in the world, without being bound by any sect or family."

Gong Yuanzheng's face turned pale, his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just remained silent.

"We are like two intersecting lines. After a brief intersection, we will inevitably go in our respective directions.": After Meng Qiqi finished speaking, she no longer looked at Gong Yuanzheng's hurt eyes, turned around and walked away quickly.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at her departing back, clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his palms.

He knew she was right, but he couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing his hair, as if telling the story of this unrequited love.

At this time, Gong Shangjiao appeared behind Gong Yuanzheng and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Gong Yuanzheng turned his head, the pain and confusion in his eyes clearly visible.

Gong Shangjiao looked at his brother like this, his heart filled with pity.

"Yuanzheng, I know you feel bad right now." Gong Shangjiao's voice was low and gentle.

Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head, like a child who had been wronged.

"Brother, I really like her, but why can't we be together?"

Gong Shangjiao sighed and pulled Gong Yuanzheng to sit on a stone bench nearby.

"Yuanzheng, life is full of frustrations. What she said is not without reason. You two do have different aspirations."

Gong Yuanzheng clenched his fists: "But I'm willing to give up everything and go with her."

"That was just an impulsive remark." Gong Shangjiao ruffled his hair and said, "You were born in Gongmen. There are too many people here who care about you, and Gongmen's future still needs you. Time will heal all wounds. The pain you feel now is only temporary."

Gong Yuanzheng listened to his brother's words and gradually calmed down.

"Brother, can I really forget her?"

Gong Shangjiao smiled and nodded: "Of course, you still have your brother and the entire palace."

Gong Yuanzheng raised his head, and the despair in his eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a determination to cheer up again.

----

the next day.

Meng Qiqi packed her bags and stood outside the inn.

She looked back and bowed slightly as a final farewell.

Then, she walked towards the distance resolutely.

The sunlight shone on her, casting a long shadow, just like her unknown future.

Meng Qiqi traveled south, passed by bustling markets, and met all kinds of people from the martial arts world.

Sometimes, she would draw her sword to help the weak, and sometimes, she would drink and chat with chivalrous men.

She met an old lady who lived in seclusion in the mountains. The old lady was proficient in medicine, so Meng Qiqi stayed for a few days to learn from her.

By the stream, she saw an injured child and took good care of him with the medical skills she had learned from the old woman.

At night, she lay on a tree, looking up at the starry sky. Gong Yuanzheng's face would occasionally appear in her mind, but it was soon replaced by the beautiful scenery before her.

I chose a path that belongs to me. Although there is loneliness on this path, there is more freedom and ease.

From then on, there was a free and unrestrained chivalrous woman in the world. She carried her lifelong dreams and courage and continued to move forward into the distance.
