141: Would you like to leave with me?

Nangong Aotian took a deep breath, understanding the Mysterious Person's meaning, but remained silent for a moment.

Both sides are equally dear!

Although one side of him was rotten flesh, it was still his flesh!

It's hard to give up!

A moment later, Nangong Aotian pondered, then looked at the Mysterious Person and said, "Divine Emissary, please tell me the first method to resolve this!"

The Mysterious Person nodded, again deducting ten thousand Spirit Stones, then said, "Let Nangong Ruoxue secretly leave Clear Serenity, avoiding the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect. This divine emissary is uncertain about the outcome afterward!"

Hearing this, Nangong Aotian frowned slightly. He knew that cheap things were never good, and he hadn't expected it to be such a method!

"Second..."

Nangong Aotian was about to ask about the second method of resolution when he saw the Mysterious Person wave slightly, a voice slowly emanating from beneath the black robe.

"The second method of resolution is to use these ten million Spirit Stones to ask this divine emissary to act and stop the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Aotian's expression brightened slightly, "Divine Emissary, I am willing..."

But before he could finish, the Mysterious Person interrupted, "Having dealt with you for many years, I advise you to consider it again."

"Why?" Nangong Aotian asked, looking puzzled and confused.

The Mysterious Person shook his head slightly, "This divine emissary generally does not meet outsiders. The people I meet are either transaction partners or dead people."

"If this divine emissary is to act and stop the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, then he will most likely be a dead man, and your Clear Serenity will most likely become an enemy of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"The Heavenly Sword Sect possesses one special imperial artifact, so it's not impossible for them to have a second and third special imperial artifact. You must consider carefully whether you want to make an enemy of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Furthermore, this divine emissary will only act this once. The next time, the price will be ten or even a hundred times more, and I will not concern myself with the assassins Nangong Jinglin hires afterward!"

Hearing this, Nangong Aotian's expression changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

Had he truly prepared to make an enemy of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect of the Sacred Domain?

Seeing Nangong Aotian lost in thought, the Mysterious Person didn't linger. He glanced outside the hall, tossed down his Spirit Jade Card, and vanished in an instant.

In Fengxian Hall, only a sentence from the Mysterious Person echoed.

"You have three days to consider. After three days, the person from the Heavenly Sword Sect will arrive. If you have made up your mind, you can send a message to this divine emissary at any time."

Nangong Aotian looked up, seeing that the Mysterious Person had disappeared. He said nothing more and sat down in silence.

Just then, his expression shifted slightly, and he looked outside, saying, "Ruo Xue, is that you?"

As his voice fell, Nangong Ruoxue's figure appeared outside the hall and quickly walked in.

"Greetings, Imperial Father!"

Nangong Aotian waved his hand slightly, "Rise. How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived!"

Nangong Ruoxue said without thinking, but a hint of something unusual flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Nangong Aotian nodded slightly, not suspecting anything, as the Mysterious Person's appearance often meant isolating others' prying eyes.

He looked at Nangong Ruoxue, his eyes holding a slightly complex expression, "Did you come for something?"

Nangong Ruoxue shook her head slightly, "I just came to see Imperial Father, and also to report that Jinglin cursed at Xiao Yu today and I beat him up!"

Hearing this, Nangong Aotian nodded slightly, understanding in his heart that his rebellious son probably couldn't endure being beaten so often, which led to the idea of hiring someone to kill his elder sister.

But no matter what, hiring someone to kill his elder sister was wrong, plain and simple, with no excuses!

Nangong Aotian shook his head slightly, not wanting to think further, "I understand. You may go back now!"

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

Nangong Ruoxue nodded and turned to leave quickly.

Nangong Aotian watched her retreating figure, sighing softly in his heart, his thoughts a jumble.

Immediately, his gaze turned cold, "Someone! Second Prince Nangong Jinglin has not paid his respects to me for three months. Such disrespect for elders shall be punished with twenty lashes and ten years of confinement."

"During the confinement, no one is allowed to approach Second Prince Nangong Jinglin, nor is he allowed to communicate with anyone. Violators will be severely punished without mercy!"

"Yes!"

...Nangong Ruoxue exited Fengxian Hall and returned to her bedchamber, her expression somewhat wistful.

"Has this day finally come?"

Nangong Ruoxue murmured to herself, her expression somewhat lost, "What should I do?"

"That's right, Xiao Yu!"

Nangong Ruoxue thought of Nangong Yu, and her eyes brightened a bit.

She hesitated, then packed some personal belongings and quietly left her bedchamber.

She planned to find Nangong Yu and take him with her, or perhaps leave the Imperial City alone to avoid that person!

Because she wasn't sure if Nangong Yu could really help her. After all, the Zhenbei Army had already left.

Soon, Nangong Ruoxue smoothly and quietly arrived at the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence, reaching Nangong Yu's living quarters.

She looked at the sleeping Nangong Yu, then glanced outside the room, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

"Is the protection of this Prince of Zhenbeis Residence really so weak?"

"No, Xiao Yu is too dangerous here, I must take him away!"

Nangong Ruoxue whispered softly, completely unaware of the strangeness along the way.

Just then, Nangong Yu quietly opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Ruoxue, "Who's talking?"

Nangong Ruoxue quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Xiao Yu, don't be nervous, it's your elder sister!"

Hearing the voice, Nangong Yu rubbed his eyes and 'relaxed' his guard, "Imperial Eldest Sister, why are you here?"

Nangong Ruoxue took two steps forward and sat on the edge of the bed. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Xiao Yu, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, Imperial Eldest Sister, please ask!" Nangong Yu said without thinking.

Nangong Ruoxue didn't speak, seemingly pondering.

A ray of moonlight shone in, falling on Nangong Ruoxue's small face, reflecting her somewhat uneasy expression.

Seeing her troubled expression, Nangong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Imperial Eldest Sister, has something happened?"

Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly and pulled Nangong Yu into her embrace, "Xiao Yu, if I want to leave the Imperial City, are you willing to leave with me?"

Nangong Yu inhaled the fragrant scent filling his nostrils and blinked, "Imperial Eldest Sister, has something happened?"

But even as he asked, his eyes shifted, and he already had an answer in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that Nangong Ruoxue wanted to escape but still didn't forget to take him with her. That was quite interesting!

Then Nangong Ruoxue said, "There are indeed some minor matters. Elder sister needs to leave the Imperial City for a while. Is Xiao Yu willing to come with elder sister?"

Nangong Ruoxue didn't say it explicitly. She thought that if she left, those people surely wouldn't continue to trouble Clear Serenity Imperial City, right?

Nangong Yu took a deep breath of the fragrance and, without much hesitation, said directly, "If elder sister wants to leave and is willing to take me, I am naturally willing."

He had previously thought of going out to travel for a while to clear his mind. Since Nangong Ruoxue planned to take him along, he naturally wouldn't object!

"That's great!" Nangong Ruoxue exclaimed softly, her face beaming with joy, "Then quickly pack some personal belongings, and let's leave right away!"

"Most of my things are in my storage ring, so there's nothing to pack." Nangong Yu smiled and said, "But just the two of us? Not bringing anyone else?"
