The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Chapter 172 Young Man on White Horse Drunk in Spring Breeze 85

But he asked again: "If you win, is there any reward?" After saying this, his eyes fell straight on her face, expecting her to give a satisfactory answer.

Mo Luyi readily agreed: "If you win, I will promise you one thing."

Li Changsheng was secretly delighted after hearing this, but he kept a straight face and said calmly, "Then it's settled. When do we start the duel?"

Mo Luyi thought for a moment and replied, "Wait until you leave Tianqi City."

At this moment, everyone in the academy gathered together. They looked at each other, their gazes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Finally, everyone's eyes converged on Lei Mengsha, their gazes as if they were looking at their own foolish son, making Lei Mengsha feel uncomfortable and his hair stand on end.

Lei Mengsha looked from one person to the other, his heart growing increasingly panicked. Finally, unable to bear the feeling of being scrutinized, he shouted, "Ah! Can you please stop looking at me like I'm about to die? Can you? It makes me feel like I'm really going to die soon... Oh no... I did dream that I died last night... So... could it be that you all had the same weird dream..." His eyes darted back and forth between them.

Hearing this, the people present exchanged glances, and then caught a glimpse of affirmation in each other's eyes. Baili Dongjun frowned, looked around at everyone, and asked, "Where's Junior Brother? Why can't I see him? Could it be that he didn't see those things?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Mengsha calmed down a bit and replied, "I'm not sure whether he was dreaming or not, but I do know why he's not here right now, and I also know where he is now."

Seeing that everyone around him was silent and no one responded to his words, he could only clear his throat and continue, "Fengfeng received news early this morning that someone had the audacity to break into the palace. Moreover, it is said that this person also abducted Prince Jingyu and Prince Qing!"

Hearing this, Baili Dongjun couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face filled with astonishment, and cried out: "What? There is such a thing? Who is this person? So powerful."

Liu Yue frowned slightly and calmly analyzed, "To be able to break into the palace so easily, and bring two princes with him, shows that this person is extraordinary. His martial arts must have reached the realm of Divine Wandering. After all, the palace's Grand Eunuch Zhuoqing is halfway to Divine Wandering. Not only that, judging by his unscrupulous behavior, he must have no respect for the royal family."

Mo Xiaohei, who was standing by, glanced at Liu Yue and said, "Need I say more? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is a highly skilled martial artist. Otherwise, how could he have broken into the heavily guarded imperial palace, which is so full of experts?"

Liu Yue turned to look at Mo Xiaohei and asked, "Since you know so much, then in your opinion, who is this person? And why did he go to the palace?"

Mo Xiaohei said expressionlessly: "You know?"

At this time, Gu Jianmen, who had been silent the whole time, slowly said, "Perhaps the royal family did something to offend them."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Xie Xuan walked into the room steadily and said in a loud voice, "This morning, the emperor issued an order to give the younger sister of Wangcheng Mountain's headmaster, Lv Suzhen, to Prince Jingyu as his concubine."

Before he finished speaking, Lei Mengsha jumped up and shouted, "Are they crazy, or am I? Senior Mo's unfathomable martial arts... So the person who broke into the palace is very likely Senior Mo. If it was really Senior Mo, then it's not difficult to understand why she kidnapped Prince Jinyu. But the question is, why did she also capture Prince Qing?"

Baili Dongjun, who was sitting nearby, frowned slightly. After a moment's thought, he said, "The reason is actually quite simple. This Senior Mo is now Brother Yun, Ye Dingzhi's junior-master-uncle. And yesterday, the entire city was searching for Brother Yun. Furthermore, it was Qing Wang who was the mastermind behind the framing of the General's Mansion. So, Senior Mo's action this time must be to seek justice for Brother Yun and the former Dingyuan General's Mansion."

Everyone was immersed in the memory of Ye Dingzhi's final fate in the dream, sighing in their hearts. Baili Dongjun was especially impressed. When he recalled the scene of Brother Yun's tragic death in his arms, his eyes gradually turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment.

At that moment, a sudden cry rang out: "Dongjun..." Though the voice was quiet, it resonated like thunder in everyone's ears. Everyone turned to look at the doorway, only to see a young man standing there in a red and white robe. In stark contrast to the sullen, restless face he had in his dream, his complexion now radiant and rosy, his whole being overflowing with vibrant energy, as if he had been reborn.

Seeing this, Baili Dongjun rushed to his side like the wind, opened his arms and hugged him tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would disappear again. "Brother Yun, I'm glad you're okay! I'm so glad!" Baili Dongjun's voice trembled with excitement.

Brother Yun lowered his head slightly, looking at Baili Dongjun. A warm smile graced his face, his eyes filled with deep affection and comfort. "Don't worry, Dongjun, I'll be fine. With Junior Master's help, I'm no longer alone. I believe all difficulties will be overcome." He gently patted Baili Dongjun on the back, signaling him not to worry too much.

"So it was really Senior Mo who kidnapped King Jinyu and King Qing, and brought them into the palace?" Liu Yue said curiously.

Ye Dingzhi nodded: "Yes, and Mr. Li also went there, and they are out now."

At this time, Gu Jianmen said, "Although Senior Mo's action may be a relief, it is, after all, a blatant provocation to the majesty of the royal family. I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future."

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun let go of Ye Dingzhi and said, "What are you afraid of? With Master and Senior Mo's current martial arts skills, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have time to hide. How dare you go looking for trouble with them?"

Next, the few of them talked about what happened in the dream and found that except for Mo Luyi's intervention, everything else was the same. Then they broke down the subsequent events one by one and considered solutions.

For the next three days, Ye Dingzhi lived and ate with Baili Dongjun and they were inseparable. One morning, when Ye Dingzhi woke up, he saw Baili Dongjun's face close to him as soon as he opened his eyes.
