"Kid, you have a bright future."

Elder Xie's face held a few more hints of mockery.

Yuwen Xiao's face could not help but feel hot, and was a little embarrassed, "Elder Xie must be joking, no matter what, I can still be considered half a Tang Family member."

The meaning behind his words was that it was only natural for the Tang Clan to protect the Tang Clan.

Old Mr. Xie didn't think much of it and shook his head, refusing to expose that this young man's reasoning was too far-fetched, even his old man couldn't stand it.

[What is so special about a girl speaking frankly and hiding her embarrassment?]

On this point, he couldn't compare to Yuwen He.

Yuwen He's biggest feature was that he was adamant about his own death. No matter who advised him, he wouldn't change his mind.

It was just like back then, when he was a good kid and had to go through so much trouble to find the location of some Liang Qiu clan, desperately searching for the "love curse" that could reverse life and death, even disregarding his own little life.

If not for this, he wouldn't have been so angry that he almost wanted to kick Yuwen He out of the sect.

But even so, Yuwen He refused to give in.

In the end, he couldn't win against that brat and said, "I don't want to see a useless disciple like you in my entire life. Hurry up and go, wherever you want to go. Don't let my old man collect your corpse for you even if you die!"

However, he didn't expect that kid to be so stubborn. He kowtowed to him three times and then left.

In a flash, so many years had passed, and now he had what he wanted.

However, even if he was given another chance, he would not change his mind.

"Little girl, come here." Old Master Xie waved at Xiao Ruyue.

Xiao Ruyue was startled for a moment, and then welcomed her. "What's wrong, Master?"

"If someone surnamed Tang has something for me, can't I, this old man, have something for you?"

Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she couldn't laugh in front of him, so she could only accept, "I don't dare, Master is right."

When Yuwen He and the Tang Clan Master came out from the back hall, they saw Xiao Ruyue leaving with Old Xie.

He wanted to chase after her, but after some thought, he gave up. He sat down and drank a mouthful of tea, waiting for her to finish.

Elder Xie didn't guide Xiao Ruyue anywhere. They were standing in the courtyard, one old and one young, facing each other under the moonlight.

"Master, what is it that you can't say in the room?" Xiao Ruyue could also tell that this Elder Xie had something to say, so she did not hide it any longer.

Elder Xie stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Little girl, I've underestimated you."

"What does Master mean by this?" Xiao Ruyue was puzzled.

Elder Xie said, "You intentionally sent your wedding captain back to the East Mausoleum to bring reinforcements. Actually, with your abilities, it would take some time to get rid of those people from the Tatar Empire, so you don't have to do this. But by doing this, you avoided a large number of casualties.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but laugh. "Master is probably praising me to the heavens, my daughter doesn't dare to accept it."

"No, you can afford it. This is one. Secondly, the arrival of the East Mausoleum army would formally announce the alliance between the Western Xia Empire and the East Mausoleum. Since the Western Xia is small, it is impossible for Yuwen He to protect the life of the Western Xia and ally himself with the East Mausoleum, and in the future, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages. Also, you have left this matter of face for the other party as the Princess Dongling.

"So Master is saying that my woman is weaker than him?" Xiao Ruyue mischievously raised his eyebrows.

Old mister Xie couldn't help but laugh. "I don't dare to tease the princess like that."

Elder Xie's "Princess" brought Xiao Ruyue's memory back to life.

She finally understood why ever since she saw Elder Xie for the first time, she felt that he was different from the others. He clearly didn't look very familiar.

She finally remembered where she had seen this face before.

It was in the Rising Mist Pavilion in the East Mausoleum's Imperial Palace.

When she was in the East Mausoleum, just two days after she had entered the palace, her royal brother Situ Chen had brought her to the Pavilion of Ascending Mist and told her the importance of this.

One of them was a portrait painting. Situ Chen pointed out to her with a serious expression on his face: It's the previous generation's State Grandmaster, Xie Yunhe.

That was a painting from decades ago. The person in the painting was in his forties or fifties, with a head of black hair.

East Mausoleum's former State Grandmaster, Xie Yunhe, was a prodigy of the times. It was said that she was an expert in the art of medicine, and her martial arts were exceptionally high. But later on, it returned to the forest and had long ago returned to the loess.

Although his black hair had turned into white hair, his face had not changed.

He, was actually the former Imperial Advisor, Xie Yunhe?!

But how could he still be alive?

According to his age, he should be at least a hundred years old!

"You're Xie Yunhe, Mister Xie?" Xiao Ruyue looked at him in disbelief.

Elder Xie was stunned for a moment before smiling, "Little girl, you're quite sharp. "But how did you find out?"

Xiao Ruyue's lips moved a few times, revealing all of her guesses, "First, it's your actions and speech, you're Yuwen He's master, yet you call me princess, which means you're not talking about Western Xia people, but East Mausoleum people."

"Secondly, when we first met, you nervously asked your daughter if Yuwen He had told anything about you to anyone else. In common sense, what cannot be mentioned, even the name or the story of life, is no more than a secret that cannot be spoken of, and perhaps you do not wish the world to know of your existence. Therefore, in the rules of the sect, they have already made a rule that forbid anyone to casually divulge your secret. "

"Thirdly, when Lady Wan-Er talked about the late emperor, you were so calm. You shouldn't have dismissed her with just a few words. However, your reaction was very intense. If it were an ordinary person, things would not be like this. Furthermore, this is not a reaction that a person like you would have. Her intense reaction means that you and I care about matters related to the late emperor. "

"Lastly, it is your appearance. My daughter has seen your portrait when you were young in the Pavilion of Ascending Mist. Although her hair had become black and white, her face has not changed. Although it is unbelievable, with the first three, my daughter has no choice but to make such a bold guess. "

As things stood, Xiao Ruyue finally managed to link everything together.

Elder Xie's identity was actually so shocking.

She was shocked, but there was no sign of it on her face.

Old mister Xie Yunhe sized her up and couldn't help but laugh, "The little girl's thinking is nimble and thoughtful, and is indeed not one bit inferior to that stinking brat Yuwen He. I don't want him to talk about me, not even you, because this old man has already died in the hearts of the people. How could a dead man come out and cause trouble? "

"Everyone thought that Mister Xie Yunhe had died back then, but I wonder if there is still a senior Sword Saint left in the Jianghu as a crane in the wild." Xiao Ruyue could not help but taunt, "Everyone says that the former State Grandmaster Xie could only leave behind a treasure sword to pass on his legacy, that should be the Silver Frost Sword. Why don't you fear being suspected by the people of the world, and give it to Yuwen He arrogantly?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Everyone thinks that Xie Yunhe is dead. Isn't using that sword just a good indication that this person is already dead?"

Elder Xie spoke with a sense of justice, which made sense.

Xiao Ruyue was unable to refute, "Then the other reason why you don't let Yuwen He mention you is because at that time, in order to find Big Sister Ya Yin and ask her for her love curse, in order to come back and succeed the position of emperor, you did not agree, and he fell out with you?"

Elder Xie couldn't help but feel angry at the mere mention of this. "That stinky brat really can't be pulled back by nine oxen."

Yeah, she thought so too.

This old mister Xie had a very stubborn temper. How could he be so easily angered?

This was why both teacher and disciple had been angry for so many years.

But Xiao Ruyue still thought that although Elder Xie was stubborn, he was not as stubborn as Yuwen He.

His person said that he had a way of thinking, or said that he was just a stubborn donkey, holding on to something as they backed off.

"Princess, I, the old man, am also not willing to break a marriage between two people." Princess, the old man is also not willing to break a marriage between two people.

"I know, thank you Master."

Elder Xie sighed, "What a pity for my precious disciple."

Xiao Ruyue initially hid her worries well, but now that Elder Xie mentioned it, her heart started to tighten for some reason.

Based on Elder Xie's capabilities, he roughly knew the consequences of using "Love Curse", which was why he did not hesitate to expel Yuwen He from his sect in the first place to stop him.

Unfortunately, Yuwen He was too stubborn. No one could stop him when he decided on something.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue's heart felt worse, but she did not want to lose her composure in front of Elder Xie, she forced out a smile and said: "My father, is he also your disciple?"

Elder Xie was stunned. "Little girl, you really have a venomous look in your eyes."

By the time he left the Tang Family, it was already late in the night. Tang Waner sent him to the door, then left in embarrassment. Yuwen Xiao originally wanted to ride the horse, but he was pulled into the horse carriage by his brother.

Yuwen He even reminded Xiao Ruyue, "I will have to trouble Elder Sister Xiao not to let him die on the road."

"Don't worry, he won't die."

With Xiao Ruyue's promise, Yuwen He rode on Yuwen Xiao's horse and threw his own brother into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the empress cast a sidelong glance at the general and smiled. "Turn around and drag your clothes away."

The general was still hesitating at first, but the empress spoke up behind him, "If you don't fall off by yourself, I'll make my move."

The general's body stiffened and he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take it off, he was more worried that after taking off his clothes in front of the Empress, Yuwen He, that pervert, would be able to dig out his eyeballs.

Xiao Ruyue did not want to make things difficult for him, so she opened the cold jade box in her hands, and the dark golden fat bug jumped out, following the scent of blood into the general's collar.

A certain general was chilled, "Sister-in-law, can you change the way you heal yourself?"

"I let you take off your clothes, but you didn't take them off yourself."

Great General's Day: My pot.

He then heard waves of tragic groans coming from the carriage. When he arrived at the restaurant, the general came out of his carriage and looked at him helplessly. "It's the most vicious. A woman's heart —"
