    Chapter Index

    When Xie Ren opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground.

    It was a strange house. He was very confused.

    He was practicing at the Imperial Temple on Mt. Tai Cang, why is he here?

    Xie Ren was slightly confused and sat up from the ground. He realized that he was wearing a plain white Taoist robe, which was a bit too plain, as if he was a pauper. The material was also not very good, rather rough, rubbing his skin uncomfortably.

    Xie Ren frowned, trying to get up from the ground, who knew that just as he got up, he realized that his body was in more discomfort.

    Sore back, sore legs, sore belly, sore neck. Is it because of lying on this floor all night blowing up?

    …… No way. It’s not like he’s that delicate.

    Where are Feng Xin and Mu Yi? Xie Ren remembered them, and shouted, “Wind …… cough, cough ……???”

    The throat isn’t very comfortable either.

    He remembered that last night, Feng Xin and Mu Qing were quarreling over trivial matters, so much so that he couldn’t meditate anymore, so he ordered them to go out for idiom solitaire. After listening to them grumble and gnash their teeth, he got sleepy and rested. How did he wake up in such an unbelievable and confusing situation?

    Xie Ren held onto a side table before standing up, surveying the surroundings. This should be an inn, but generally speaking, if he didn’t choose to sleep out in the open and chose to stay at an inn instead, he wouldn’t stay at this kind of inn that looked like it was saving money.

    He wasn’t bound hand and foot, and the door to his room was unlocked, which meant he wasn’t under house arrest. If someone or something had backstabbed him, what was the point of dropping him off here?

    The more Xie Ren thought about it, the weirder he felt, but the most bizarre thing was the state of his body at the moment, enduring the soreness of his arms to take off his outerwear, ready to see what injuries he had on his body. Who knows, this time he took it off, he looked down and his entire face instantly lost its blood color.

    From his abdomen, to his chest, they were densely covered with ambiguous red | marks. On the fair flesh like sheep’s fat jade, it seems to be full of large flower petals, blossoming red. He was so shocked that he flung himself in front of a mirror to take a look.

    Sure enough! Not just in the heart and stomach, but in the neck, and in the back!

    “……”

    Xie Ren didn’t dare to remove the clothing underneath to continue looking.

    Things are clear.

    During the time he was somehow unconscious, someone had …… broken him.

    For the first time in his life, Xie Ren had the feeling of “softness in the soles of his feet”, but he still managed to hold on and stand firmly.

    He listened to the palace maid serving him a long time ago to tell some horror legends outside the palace, what specializes in rape | lust | captivity | plundering the black store black hearted ghosts, to the girl family drugged and then do bad things. But …… but ……

    Xie Ren clasped his head with both hands and muttered, “But, I’m, ah, a man! ……”

    Now that he was in this state, it was really unpleasant to look at, in addition to these kiss|marks, the rub marks left by pinching too hard, there were also embarrassing bite marks. Xie Ren covered her face, feeling her head burning and her body going cold.

    Suddenly, something extremely serious occurred to him: oops!

    The way he practiced was to absolutely abstain from | obscenity, but in this way, is not it breaking the precepts?

    Xie Ren hurriedly tried. As soon as she tried, sure enough, there was no power!

    Xie Ren had always been fairly calm, but in this situation, he was simply about to collapse.

    I do not know how, a sleep to wake up to become so, wind letter Mu love are gone, they do not know by whom to make what means muddle through the body, really want to collapse!

    For a long time, he still couldn’t accept this fact, his heart was in turmoil. But he couldn’t stay like this, so he had to pick up his clothes and put them on haphazardly, and went out of the inn. There were not many people stopping him along the way, Xie Ren was so relieved that he couldn’t even care about the surrounding buildings, pedestrians’ clothing, and rather odd accents.

    But probably because of the ghost in his heart, he always felt that other people could see what was happening to him, and were looking at him with strange eyes, forcing him to walk faster and faster, and finally ran madly, rushed into a forest, punched a tree, and directly broke the tree, and said angrily: “Bastard! “

    He wanted to curse the person who did this to him with the most vicious words, but all he could say was “asshole, bastard, asshole!” The fire in his heart just couldn’t be released, and he was suffocating. It was impossible for him to bawl, so he could only smother his head and fight furiously. Your Highness the Crown Prince don’t fight!”

    Xie Ren was filled with anger, but this old man had suddenly emerged from the earth and was not a normal person, looking at him with a slight shock, he said, “Who are you?”

    The old man wiped his tears and said, “I am the land here, Your Highness the Prince! This forest is my retirement! If your old man continues to fight, I will drink the northwest wind!”

    Xie Ren thought that after all, it is not about other people’s business, and must not take anger indiscriminately, moreover, the official is no longer small, it is also considered a divine official, and older, and needs to be respected, so he reluctantly collected a little bit of fire, and also collected his hands, and slowed down his tone of voice, and said, “…… I am sorry, it is I who got excited. This can be good, how many trees did I break in the party, I will compensate you well.”

    The land let go of the hand holding his thigh and busily said, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, where do I need your old man to compensate for it! If you’re willing to talk to me, the little god’s place will be so bright!”

    Xie Ren was a bit strange, this land is also a magistrate, and looks much bigger than him, why is he so afraid of him, and even called him “your old man”? But he didn’t have the mood to ask about this, and politely asked, “You are the land of this area, so you should know this area very well, right? Can you help me find two people?” Saying this, he put his hand into his sleeve and wanted to take a few gold leaves to make an offering, the land saw his action and quickly waved his hand frantically, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! What people are you looking for?”

    It so happened that Xie Ren didn’t pull out anything and took out his hand, saying, “My two retainers, Feng Xin and Mu Yi.”

    “……”

    The land’s face, suddenly became strange. Xie Ren said, “What’s wrong? Is there a difficulty?”

    The land said, “No, no, no, no, it’s not that there are difficulties. Just …… “Just what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after eight hundred years, still shouting General Nanyang and General Xuanzhen as his attendant, I don’t know whether the two generals will be angry ah? Alas forget it, the two generals angry does not matter, this did not serve well, that angry only scared miles. So said: “Please wait here for a moment, I’ll find it for you!”

    Xie Ren said, “Thank you.” Just as he was about to bend down and bow, he looked up, and the land had long since disappeared.

    Xie Ren felt his head still burning and covered his forehead, not knowing how long it had been, he only heard a voice in front of him wondering, “What’s going on?”

    Xie Ren looked up and saw Feng Xin and Mu Xiang.

    However, it is not the Fengxin and Muqi that he recognized. Admittedly, their appearance has not changed, but their temperament is different, not like two reckless teenagers, but like two generals who have been fighting for many years in the sand. And they were both wearing rather expensive black robes, not like what ordinary people could wear. At least Xie Ren had never seen them wearing these clothes.

    The one who asked the question was Feng Xin, who came over and said, “Your Highness, what are you doing here alone?”

    “…… “Xie Ren said, “I was just about to ask, where did you two run off to? I asked you to answer the dragon outside the door last night, why are you nowhere to be found this morning?”

    Feng Xin and Mu Yi both revealed the same odd look as that land, as if they were unable to comprehend his words. Xie Ren had a splitting headache and added, “And what’s with this outfit of yours? What the hell is going on????”

    Feng Xin looked down at himself and wondered, “What’s wrong with these clothes, aren’t they normal?”

    Muoi then said, “What are you talking about? Sleepy, I wasn’t at your place last night.”

    Xie Ren clutched his head, wanting to yell and force himself to calm down, thinking for a moment, he said, “I see? You guys are being nightmarred by something just like me, right?”

    Feng Xin and Mu Qi looked increasingly bizarre. Feng Xin said, “I’m confused. Your Highness, you’d better say what’s the reason for calling us here.”

    Mu Qi rolled her eyes and said, “There’s no need to ask. I said how come something calls for me and not his one, 80% is brain dead.”

    Xie Ren couldn’t understand what they were saying at all and said, “Which one is that one? The State Master?”

    “……”

    Feng Xin and Mu Yi looked at each other in dismay, and after a moment, Mu Yi stepped forward and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

    Xie Ren said, “What?”

    Muoi said, “My memory is a little fuzzy right now, so tell me, do you remember what we’ve been doing for the past few days?”

    Xie Ren said, “Haven’t we been practicing at the Imperial Extremity View for the past few days?”

    Muoi said, “Where is Flower City?”

    Hearing this name, Xie Ren had a very familiar feeling, but after thinking about it, he really didn’t recognize it, so he said blankly, “Who is the flower …… city ……?”

    “……………………”

    Muoi said, “Good. I get it.”

    He made a wink to the side and went to the side to discuss with the shocked Feng Xin. Xie Ren suddenly felt a bit suspicious and said vigilantly, “What do you understand? What are you guys talking about?”

    After discussing the matter, the duo turned around. Feng Xin said, “Your Highness, let’s go.”

    Xie Ren was even more suspicious: “Walking to where?”

    Muoi said, “Take you to someone who can solve this situation at hand. Come on!”

    Xie Ren was now eight points wary and backed away. As soon as Mu Qi saw that he seemed to want to run, she said, “Don’t go!” Reaching out, he waved out a spiritual light that seemed to bind him. But how could Xie Ren not leave?

    Pull your legs out and run!

    When he ran, both Wind Letter and Mu Emotion’s heads turned. The two roared into the wind as they chased after him, and Wind Letter said, “I’m fucked! I’m so fucked! What’s wrong with him? He can’t forget things so badly! A forgetfulness is eight hundred years!”

    Muoi said, “Finally! Finally the messy stuff has eaten too much of your brain!”

    “How can it be! I’m afraid he had some kind of accident when he went out by himself, hurry up and find it! His brain now, but he’s only seventeen!”

    Mu Yi didn’t forget to be sarcastic at this time, “Yes, the naive, silly, and pampered seventeen year old Crown Prince!”

    “Wait! Tell him first. Quickly tell him first!”

    When something like this happens, of course you have to tell that person first!

    Xie Ren ran for more than twenty miles in one breath, stopping only to gasp slightly, feeling as if he was still in a huge misty and tricky net that he hadn’t yet broken out of.

    What the hell is going on here?

    It’s not normal. It’s not normal!

    Is he still not clear about what strength Mu Zi is? That aura would take at least a few hundred years of cultivation before he could cultivate it, now how can this be the real Mu情? It must be a fake!

    And him. He wasn’t normal himself. It was only when he ran that he realized he was as light as a feather. Although he was already as light as a swallow, his stance seemed to be faster and more powerful now.

    Everything is wrong!

    Calm and collected again, Xie Ren suddenly remembered that just now, Mu情 seemed to have mentioned a name.

    He muttered, “Flower City.”

    For some reason, this name was supposed to be unfamiliar to him, but as soon as he read it, his heart was slightly moved, as if a small flower had bloomed somewhere in the bottom of his heart. Thus, he couldn’t help but read this name, over and over again, several times.

    Flower City, Flower City, Flower City.

    This should be a very important person, maybe the key to this event. Gotta go find him first.

    Making up her mind, Xie Ren walked in the direction of the town.

    Although Xie Ren was completely unable to accept what was happening to him when he first realized what was happening to him, he slowed down in less than half an hour. Although his heart and body were still uncomfortable to the core, he was in a maze right now, and there was no time for him to be distracted. The real Fengxin Mu情 was nowhere to be found, which showed that the thing behind the scenes that was laying the black hand was outstanding, he had to immediately pull himself together and find out the truth.

    So, by the time he stepped into the town, he had regained his ordinary demeanor.

    Casually picked up a teahouse, came upstairs to sit by the window, but did not care to drink tea. Xie Ren picked up the cup on the table and looked at it, the cup accumulates the old tea scale that can’t be wiped clean, making him tired of looking at it, put it down and ignore it.

    Inside the teahouse, a rather attractive and delicate woman is holding a pipa, warbling and singing, sitting in a circle of men, young and old, looking at her cheekily. The woman sang what was originally an unusual local ditty, a girl’s family going out early in the morning to pick flowers or something, but after singing for not a while, a group of great lords said, “It’s not interesting, not good, change!” “Yes, this one is not good, change it!” “Change this one!”

    The girl had no choice but to follow their wishes, and changed a rather colorful | love | color | charming | Ni Ni tune, gently folded and slowly twisted, glutinous sound soft, soft people face red heartbeat. The group of onlookers this is satisfied, have shouted. Xie Ren sitting in the corner of the second floor by the window position, but is very uncomfortable.

    Listen carefully to the lyrics, it seems to be singing a young couple on their wedding night of love, it is really bold and revealing to the extreme. This kind of | obscene | words | colorful | song, Xie Ren has never heard in the Imperial City. If it was in the past, even if he heard it, he could only think of it as a flirtation, because it has nothing to do with him at all, and he would never think of such a thing in his life. But now, it’s not the same.

    Although he didn’t remember how it happened at all, after all, he was already a human being, and when he listened to this kind of stuff again, his mind was different. Moreover, he discovered something terrible: his mind, completely out of his control!

    The lyrics of the song are frivolous, and his heart swings ten percent. Moreover, many fragmented images emerged in his mind, two hands tightly interlocked fingers, red thread between the fingers against the | death | entanglement; ear seems to be able to hear the broken gasp | breath, begging for mercy of the sobs, as well as, a certain man seductive | coaxing like a low voice.

    …… What are these. What are these?

    Xie Ren was ashamed and annoyed, biting her lower lip and clenching her fists. In the middle of the day, unable to hold back, she finally couldn’t resist slamming hard on the desktop.

    “Bang” sound, scared a few tables nearby guests stared at him with wide eyes. Xie Ren woke up, apologized in a low voice, wishing he could block his ears with his hands and hear nothing, thinking that if he sang again, he would have to leave!

    Suddenly, the song came to an abrupt end, and a scream pulled him out of his ecstasy. Xie Ren looked up sharply, only to see a large group of people have surrounded, seemingly moving their hands and feet, the songstress holding the lute, stood up in fear, and wailed, “Gentlemen, let’s just listen to the song, don’t make a move ah ……”

    Several men coaxed, “So what if you do it? Anyway, we’re not the only ones who have done it, I don’t believe you’ve been touched by anyone in the marketplace!”

    The singer’s eyes reddened with anger and said, “What do you mean I’m for sale? I’m a singer, not a prostitute!”

    But the sidekick deliberately did not listen to her defense, said: “Hey! You’re talking like a chaste and virtuous woman! If you were so serious, you wouldn’t be selling!”

    “That’s it! Just now you were singing this kind of tune to tease people, and now you’re saying that you won’t sell it, what kind of a house of cards are you setting up, it’s laughable!”

    The songstress was so angry that she was about to faint, and said in a trembling voice, “It was you who told me to sing, it was you who told me to sing that I sang!”

    However, no matter what she said, the awful listeners always had something to say to bar the way: “We asked you to sing and you sang? I’m not going to be able to do that. That means you’ve been wanting to sing something like this for a long time!”

    Xie Ren couldn’t listen anymore.

    He already had fire in his heart, and now he was even more furious. The white shadow flashed, the group of uproarious men did not know what was going on, he was lifted down a row. The man at the head of the group, his buttocks facing the sky, cursed, “What the hell are you? Dare to mess with us?!”

    Xie Ren stood in front of the songstress, his knuckles clacking, but his face still did not show anger, and said in a deep voice: “Let’s stop at the right moment. Anyone would be touched by the beauty of a flower. But if you don’t know how to treat each other with courtesy, it’s dirty and shameful.”

    Someone yelled, “She clearly sang it herself first; she can sing it, but we can’t touch it?!”

    Xie Ren, however, said word for word: “Not bad. It’s what she sings, you can’t touch it!”

    Before the words fell, seven or eight pugilists were thrown down the stairs by him, falling on their asses and sitting on the ground, falling in a frightening manner without actually suffering any serious injuries, but it was appalling enough because no one could see how he struck at all, so how could they talk about fending off a counterattack? He was too busy to flee. Upstairs, Xie Ren turned back, and the songstress very gratefully got up and saluted him, saying, “Many thanks to this Taoist priest for relieving the siege!”

    Xie Ren said, “It’s just a matter of raising my hand. Miss, do you still want to stay here?”

    The songstress nodded, and Xie Ren nodded back, saying, “Good. Then you continue to sing.”

    When he finished, he sat back down, lifted the hem of his coat with a flourish, and sat squarely on guard.

    The other men saw that he did not go away and stared at this side, so they really did not dare to go up and harass him. The songstress understood his feelings, and became more and more grateful, and opened her mouth with a wan turn, again the original unusual and lively local ditty.

    Xie Ren poured a cup of tea was about to drink, lowered his head and saw the aged tea scale inside, hesitated for a moment, still could not overcome himself, put down the tea cup, sighed. Unintentionally turned back, but froze.

    Only to see the opposite side of the long street, another more gorgeous red building above the restaurant, sitting alone.

    It was a long, red man.

    Although wearing a black eyepatch, adding a bit of wildness, but does not hide his handsome. Clothes red than maple, skin white as snow, hand holding a silver cup, wine lamp and his pair of silver wrist guards general aura flashing. At a glance, eye-catching to the extreme, was looking over here, facing him from afar. Seeing Xie Ren’s line of sight, he smiled slightly and raised his cup shallowly, seemingly honoring him through the air.

    “……”

    Somehow, as soon as Xie Ren’s eyes met with the man’s, it was as if she was electrocuted, and she hastily withdrew her gaze.

    But though he pretended not to care, his heart thumped wildly.

    It was really strange. That man was indeed graceful and had a mysterious attraction, but it wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen such a graceful man before, so why did he react in such a way when he saw that man?

    After a moment’s thought, he vetoed the idea again. It simply wasn’t right. For, come to think of it, it was true that he had never, before, seen a handsome man of such elegance.

    Thinking of this, Xie Ren thought to himself, this is a rare character, so he might as well pay more attention, and turned his head to look again. However, this look, the man in red disappeared.

    Actually disappeared just like that. As if a gorgeous maple leaf, leisurely floating down, in front of his eyes a mischievous flash, teach him to light up in front of his eyes, and then it was gone. As if it wasn’t real, just a fleeting dream bubble.

    After haughtily looking at that gorgeous restaurant for a while longer, with no sign of it, Xie Ren finally gave up, not knowing if he was a bit disappointed, gently exhaled a breath, rubbed his brow, and thought, “It’s just.”

    Who knows, as soon as he turned around, he saw that at some point across the room, a person had already sat down, with one hand on his cheek, staring at him.

    The two of them exchanged gazes, Xie Ren was slightly stunned, but the man said with a smile, “This Taoist Master, can you buy me a drink?”

    It was the man in red who had just raised his glass to him in a distant salute.
