"I'm really sorry." Ding Hong suddenly said.

Suo Bing bowed and said respectfully, "Master, where did you go wrong?"

Ding Hong could understand her feelings, but not all of her emotions. He didn't expect such a thing to happen under such circumstances. Shaking his head, he said, "You can call me Gongzi from now on, but you don't need to call me Master."

"Yes, young master."

"Then, you can keep the painting by yourself. There's no need to give it to me." Ding Hong did not intend to take those things. Although he was lacking some magical equipment, he always felt that if he took the painting, he would feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Suo Bing replied, "Since I've agreed to the Young Master's request, I'll definitely offer it."

Seeing her act this way, he knew that it would be difficult to change her mind. He said, "Then you can take it in the future and leave it with me."

"I got it."

"Sigh." Ding Hong couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to go downstairs, a mass of white year-end appeared in the air. Those endless years of ceaselessly rotating and soaring, finally combining together, it was actually Bai Li. In Bai Li's hand was a small white item that looked like a stone. He tossed it to Suo Bing and said, "It's Feng Zhaowu's ashes." Then he said to Ding Hong, "Since there is no one living on the first floor of Heaven's Gazing Master, you can find some rooms to live in." With that, he disappeared, causing Ding Hong to not know if he was intentionally showing off or if it was just out of his nature to do so.

Suo Bing took the small white piece and held it tightly, as if she was going to break it. Ding Hong did not know what to say. He could only say, "Let's go down."

"Yes, young master." Suo Bing's voice was very low as she tried her best to suppress her emotions.

They went downstairs and each of them took a room. During this time, Suo Bing seemed to have gone out alone. When he came back, he was already holding a scroll in his hand.

And so, the next day.

Today, the Chao Yang City was especially lively. There were actually no rumors about yesterday's events on the streets of the outer city. It seemed that very few people knew about it. Most of the places in Chao Yang City had been swept clean, especially the ten-zhang wide bluestone paved main road in the middle of the road. It had been scrubbed with water in the middle of the night.

There was no one on the main road, but on the other roads, people were coming and going, and people were gathering. The hawkers on the streets were also trying even harder to sell their wares. Usually, the sound that could penetrate half the streets could, at this moment, cut across an entire street!

The reason why the commoners were so excited today was because they knew that today was the day the ninth princess, Ji Yuanmeng, was to be married into Ba Shu. Although the ninth princess was not favored by the emperor, Ji Xingjian, in the outside world, many people liked her. Because this princess was cute and lively, without the aura of a royal descendant.

Many times, she would generously help the poor. Knowing that she was going to be married today, some people were happy, and some people were depressed. The grieving single man drank in the inn while the happy ones congratulated the others in the tavern, hoping that the lives of the Ninth Princess and Lord Shu would be blissful and blissful.

However, no matter how happy the outsiders were, Ji Yuanmeng remained expressionless in front of the makeup mirror. The palace maid was skillfully dressing and dressing her up. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. It was Ji Yuanhang walking in. When the palace maid saw him, she hurriedly bowed and greeted him, "Your Majesty."

Ji Yuanhang did not say anything. He waved his hand to let him out. The palace maid bowed and left. Looking at Ji Yuanmeng, who was quietly sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Ji Yuanhang did not know what to say.

In the eyes of others, he didn't like this Ninth Princess, he didn't like her, and he even rejected her. No one knew why no one dared to say it, even if they did.

Ji Yuanmeng was the same, and she had always thought so since she was young. However, she had always been cheerful and lively, making others unable to see her distress and others unaware of the pain in her heart.

"Jiu Meng, today, you are going to be married to Xi Shu. Imperial Father will give you something."

He took out a green copper coin from his sleeve and stretched out his hand to place it on Ji Yuanmeng's makeup table.

"Pa!"

Ji Yuanmeng suddenly slapped his hand, knocking the green copper coin to the ground. After the copper coin fell to the ground, it made a "ding" sound.

Ji Yuanhang's hand was frozen in the air, the muscles on his face twitching.

"I don't want it." Ji Yuanmeng's words were calm, there was nothing she could say that she was wrong. She began to make her own makeup, arranging the folds of her clothes.

After a while, Ji Yuanhang squatted down and picked up the green copper coin, placing it on the table beside him, "You won't be following the escort team. "If you're in a bad mood, then I'll leave first." He seemed to have lost his usual spirit, but now he seemed to have become a father to him.

However, Ji Yuanmeng ignored him and continued drawing her makeup.

Ji Yuanhang looked at her for a few moments, then turned around and left. Ji Yuanmeng suddenly cried, but there was no sound. Only tears flowed down her face. At first she restrained herself, but as the feeling grew deeper, she suddenly threw away the comb in her hand and leaned over the counter, crying.

Ji Yuan left the house, but he did not go far.

He was standing outside the door.

There was also Ji Tai who was with him.

"Did you give it to me?" Ji Tai asked slowly.

Ji Yuanhang's voice was slightly low as he bowed and said, "Reporting to Imperial Uncle, I have already given you my word."

"Then let's go." Ji Tai slowly walked towards the distance.

Ji Yuanhang took another look at the house as if he was looking at Ji Yuanmeng. He then sighed and muttered a few words to himself before following the woman.

In the plaza of the imperial palace, a line that was nearly a thousand feet long was neatly arranged there. The front and back of the line were made up of armored soldiers, and in the middle were a few men and women in formal attire. However, when one looked at the people in formal attire, they would see that their eyes were bright and their bodies were straight. One could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people. Ji Yuanhang changed into a new set of clothes and wore a dragon robe. He arrived at the plaza before the palace.

A year old eunuch was already waiting there. When he saw Ji Yuanhang, he hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Ji Yuanhang nodded. "Then let's begin."

The eunuch nodded, turned around and shouted loudly, "Princess, you are leaving!"

Some of the musicians in the group immediately began to play the joyous music as they walked out in a grandiose manner. There were already many people waiting outside Morning Sun City. When they saw the group come out, they all shouted their congratulations.

Chao Yang City was in an uproar.

At the north gate of Chao Yang City, Ji Yuanmeng was dressed in simple clothes as she sat on a horse carriage. She was walking out with Bai Li, Xiaofeng, and Suo Bing. Fifth Liu was ordered by Ding Hong to do whatever he wanted and to look for him in the future. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he followed along. But last night, Ding Hong also asked for the sword technique used by Liu Wu. The sword technique was called the Illusionary Sword Technique, which was a technique only the Sect Leader of Liu Wu's sect could learn. However, what disappointed Ding Hong the most was that he was still unable to learn the technique. He could only remember the incantation and think about it after the eight sword techniques were completed. After a moment of thought, he gave the sword technique to Suo Bing.

However, after looking at the sword technique for a while, Suo Bing was surprised to be able to use it! He couldn't help but wonder, just how powerful was the effect of the Sky Wood?

Ji Yuanmeng was not in a good condition right now. She had not spoken a word to them ever since she came out, reversing Ding Hong's image. Suo Bing didn't wear makeup and her clothes were plain, but the more she looked like this, the more stunning her beauty became. Yesterday, Ding Hong didn't really feel anything. When he saw her again this morning, he couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

However, she was not in a good mood. She did not show any expression as she sat in the carriage, holding a painting in her hand. There was a chain in her hand, and she was wearing the white stone that Bai Li had given her. The chain was so long that it slipped into her hand and she held it.

Bai Li walked at the front. After leaving Chao Yang City, he suddenly stopped his horse and looked towards the south gate.

The Southern Gate was the gift party for the real princess.

"Do you know what those people are up to?" Bai Li asked as he turned to look at Ding Hong, who was acting as the coachman.

This question came out of nowhere, so Ding Hong naturally could not tell what it was. He frowned and said, "I'm not sure."

Bai Li snorted and continued on his horse as he coldly said, "The people in that one hundred zhang long group are all people who have reached the peak of their martial arts. Furthermore, most of them have learned some Dao arts and wanted them to pretend to protect them.

This group of people seemed to be escorting Ji Yuanmeng to the location of the emperor, and the reasons behind them were probably unknown.

Take Bai Li for example. From what Ding Hong had heard, Bai Li was a type of Deity, and the weakest was a nine-style Deity! What cultivation level was that? This was obviously the strength of the Elders from the Heavenly Palace and other big sects!

Furthermore, Ding Hong now roughly knew the power of time tribulation. It was definitely not an ordinary force! What they had done was definitely not something unknown.

Thus, Bai Li's motive for accompanying him in escorting Ji Yuanmeng started to seem a little strange.

Ding Hong had made up his mind to play dumb when Bai Li asked this question. He was waiting for Bai Li to answer him!

However, his plan was not a good one. Seeing that he did not answer and did not say anything else, Ding Hong felt a little depressed.

Just like this, the group headed westward. Basically, if there was an inn, they would stay there. If there was no inn, they could only spend the night in the wilderness. They ran like this for over ten days. As time passed and the location changed, the weather became colder and colder. Sometimes early in the morning, he would wake up to find some leaves covered with a thin layer of ice.

It was early in the morning, and since they hadn't found any inns or anything like that, they could only sleep outside in the open. They let Suo Bing and Ji Yuanmeng sleep together in the carriage while Ding Hong and Bai Li stayed outside.

The weather was cold, especially at night.

"Ah Qiu" Ding Hong rubbed his nose and muttered, "How many times have I sneezed?"

Although he could control the spiritual force in his body to circulate through his meridians, allowing it to keep warm and prevent the wind from getting cold, the weather was cold after all, so he still felt a bit uncomfortable.

To be honest, Ding Hong really couldn't figure it out. To escort Ji Yuanmeng to Ba Shu, to let the Bai Li Imperial Sword carry her directly, or to use the golden rocs to carry her just like last time? Why did it have to be so time-consuming?

Although the weather was cold, the surrounding trees were still there. The green ones, the yellow ones and the red ones were all well-dressed. At this time, Bai Li was usually leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, looking like he couldn't be bothered to care about anything.

Ding Hong had had enough rest so he wanted to walk around. The air was cold, and his face, which was not covered by clothes, felt the best. The leaves in the forest were very thick, so it was rather soft and comfortable to step on.

Although it hadn't been raining recently, due to the fog, the surroundings were still wet.

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound, as if someone was fetching water.

Ding Hong felt a little strange. Could it be that there were still people staying here? He then followed the sound and walked through a forest. When he reached a small slope, he saw a small river. There were many stones by the river, some big and some small, and many of them were covered with thick moss.

And on top of a large stone, there were some clothes. As Ding Hong looked over, he seemed somewhat familiar. A thought suddenly flashed through his head, but then he thought that the clothes that Suo Bing had passed on were probably these clothes. The thought of her bathing in the river seemed to cause her to feel embarrassed, and she prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, Suo Bing suddenly came out of the river. She was completely naked, just in time to see Ding Hong.

Seeing that, Ding Hong was stunned and involuntarily looked up and down. After that, he felt greatly embarrassed and hurriedly turned around. He coughed dryly and said, "I was just passing by." With that, he ran away as if he was running for his life.

Suo Bing was also surprised, but for some reason, she remained calm from start to finish. She just stood there and looked at Ding Hong's back as he disappeared into the distance. She then looked at the bone bracelet on her hand. After putting on her clothes, she walked towards where everyone was.

In the past few days, Ji Yuanmeng had recovered to the state of being more talkative. When she just woke up, she saw Ding Hong running back from outside with a face full of distress. He asked curiously, "Where did you go? Where's Sister Suo Bing? "

He didn't know anything about Suo Bing.

When Ding Hong heard her ask, he coughed dryly and said, "I just went out for a walk." Then, he started to organize the carriages, and when Suo Bing came back, he started on the road.

As for Suo Bing, because she had just taken a bath in the ice-cold river, her hair was wet and her face was a little white, but she looked even more beautiful. Looking at her, Ji Yuanmeng's eyes widened. She exclaimed, "Where did the two of you go?!"

Ding Hong frowned and said, "I'll tell you, just make wild guesses."

Ji Yuanmeng was immediately unwilling. Just as she was about to speak, she was pushed into the carriage by Ding Hong. Ding Hong used the words of Bai Li and loudly laughed, "Hurry up and find a place to fill your stomach."

At this moment, Bai Li also opened his eyes. After the two of them were done, he took out a map and threw it to Ding Hong, saying, "You guys can take the rest of the way. I have something to take care of so I'll be leaving first." After saying that, without giving Ding Hong any time to react, he disappeared.
