Liu Tingxi slowly opened her beautiful eyes and held Li Qing's hand gratefully: "My benefactor's chivalry will never be forgotten by me!!!"

Li Qing was happy and waved his hand honestly: "Master, don't worry about it... Li Qing is a rough man, but he can still distinguish between good and evil!"

"Hehe...it should be!"

…

Half a month later, Liu Tingxi's wounds gradually healed, but she still couldn't keep up with her physical strength to walk or even escape from danger. Li Qing also knew that when they were in trouble...a beautiful little girl was holding a treasure.

Ju, check in at Majiabao Inn.

So, in the middle of the night, Li Qing secretly put all his savings in the hay trough... Haha, but it only had five taels of silver. Liu Qing knew that this little silver could not even buy a horse's ear, but...

Don't worry, try to make up for it later!

Liu Tingxi clicked her tongue and said helplessly: "You brat, didn't you say... you bought it?"

"Prince...Miss Mu, I'm sorry..."

After hearing the whole story, Queen Mother Tang suddenly realized, her distressed eyes fell on Liu Tingxi again. Liu Tingxi shrugged, and the corners of her lips raised: "It's all over, don't worry!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Tingxi took Liu Qing to apologize to Mu Qingluan: "I was negligent. Miss Mu, please forgive Liu Qing... Everything is because of Liu. If you want to punish me, I will accept it in the future."

Is that possible?"

"Empress, Your Majesty, he..."

Mu Qingluan's face turned red, and she swung her long whip in embarrassment. Seeing that the strong whip was about to fall on the straightforward Liu Qing, Liu Tingxi, who was anxious to protect the calf, flicked her fingertips, and a bamboo leaf "squeaked" on the ground.

Flying towards Mu Qingluan...

"Silly boy, hurry up and leave!"

"Luan'er, Prince Liu has already said this,...can you ask them to give you back the two black colts later?"

"Empress, even you..."

Mu Qingluan stamped her feet, her cheeks were as red as clouds, and a hint of daughter's shyness appeared in her eyes. She glanced at Liu Qing from time to time, her heart throbbing inexplicably.

Empress Dowager Tang smiled lightly and took Mu Qingluan's hand: "What a fate!"

Mu Qingluan's face turned even redder, her eyebrows lowered and she remained silent.

Queen Mother Tang sighed: "What a beautiful time, in the blink of an eye you and Zhang'er are both grown girls...!"

"Prince Liu, I have really been too negligent these years... When I get back, I will have to help these boys and girls, they are not young anymore!"

Liu Tingxi nodded tacitly, patted Liu Qing's shoulder, and said with a pun: "Come on, brat!"

Liu Qing grinned and glanced at Mu Qingluan: "I thank you two masters. Come on, come on!!"

Mu Qingluan glanced at Liu Qing shyly, lowered her head and started to pack her luggage. Liu Qing hurried to help. He took the baggage handed over by Mu Qingluan, pursed his lips and said: "...Miss Mu, you are so kind!"

Mu Qingluan pursed her lips and slightly curved her almond-shaped eyes: "You bastard, give me back my black horse!"

Liu Qing grinned and giggled, trying to find something to say: "Yes, I have raised it until it is fat and strong. I am just waiting to meet its owner... Now, I will return it!"

Mu Qingluan pushed him and feigned anger: "You thief...cut it!"

He casually handed the biggest baggage to Liu Qing and left quickly.

Liu Qing chased after him and shouted loudly: "Hey, what's engraved on that Lanyue Cliff? Miss Mu, you are good at Qinggong..."

Mu Qingluan rolled her eyes at him and curled her lips: "Talk!"

Liu Qing was not annoyed and continued to talk to Empress Dowager Tang and Liu Tingxi.

The four of them looked up and saw a line of eye-catching characters engraved on the steep peak: "Nine Levels of Return to Yuan"

"Ninth level return to Yuan?"

Queen Mother Tang frowned and stared at the cliff, her eyes becoming more and more serious. She glanced at Liu Tingxi and said in a cold tone: "Prince Liu, please tell me... what does this mean? "

"Qingluan, take a look, what is the meaning of this Nine-Level Return to Origin?"

"Nine-layer Guiyuan... I still remember that the prefix of these four characters... seems to be 'Tian Xuan Di Zhong'.

"Yes! The Queen Mother is extremely intelligent and has a perfect memory!"

After listening to Liu Tingxi's words, Queen Mother Tang pondered for a moment: "This... shows that the thief's ambition... is clearly revealed!"

"Yes, my dear, I think so too!"

As soon as Mu Qingluan finished speaking, Liu Tingxi pointed to a cliff valley not far away and said, "There is a dry cave in front of you on the left. Let's go and rest first to satisfy our hunger."

"good!"

The four of them walked into the cave, and a warm current came to them, lingering, "Hey, it's really warm in this cave!"

"Tch, don't you know... that all caves are warm in winter and cool in summer?"

Mu Qingluan felt disgusted with Liu Qing again, Liu Qing nodded with a smile, Liu Tingxi looked across the two of them, Mu Qingluan pouted: "Your Majesty, is what I said wrong? You...don't want to protect me again? A kid, right?"

Liu Tingxi shrugged helplessly, pursed her lips, and followed Empress Dowager Tang deeper into the dry cave, leaving Liu Qing and Mu Qingluan looking at each other.

…

After a while, Empress Dowager Tang came back. Mu Qingluan leaned over and whispered: "...Ms. Qi, I remembered that a few years ago on Xuanji Island, I heard Master say... Tianxuan In the earth, the Nine-layer Return to Origin...but it took so long that I just didn’t remember it.”

Liu Tingxi glanced sideways, "The master of Xuanji Island, Party B of the East China Sea, is... the master of Miss Mu?"

"Back to my lord, I am just a registered disciple...Master's only disciple is Luo Mengyao!"

Speaking of senior sister Luo Mengyao, Mu Qingluan's tone was full of admiration, and her eyes were shining brightly. Liu Qing saw it and gave a thumbs up: "Miss Mu, your kung fu is already very powerful! ...Tsk, tsk, senior sister's martial arts. , can it be more powerful?"

"The world is so big, strong and strange people abound!"

Hua Tingxi agreed, and Queen Mother Tang nodded.

Mu Qingluan made a sound, whipping his whip like a dragon, rolling rocks and flying sand... For a moment, there was a buzzing sound in the cave, and the three of them hurriedly covered their ears.

"Miss Mu, you are so amazing!"

"Hey, I wonder if I can meet the real person B in this life. She is the legendary Overlord Xuanji!"

"Also, Senior Sister Mengyao, she has gained the essence of Zhenren's life, and her martial arts skills may be extraordinary!"

When Mu Qingluan heard this, she glanced at Liu Qing in surprise, and her tone became less sharp: "I didn't expect that you have some knowledge!"

Suddenly his tone changed: "What are you talking about? When did Luo Mengyao become your senior sister?"

Empress Dowager Tang's eyes flashed, and she said thoughtfully: "Luan'er, do you know where the real person Yi Fang lives now?"

Mu Qingluan shook his head, with a confused look on his face.

"Your Majesty, my master is nowhere to be seen. Ever since I left Xuanji Island... I haven't seen him again."

"Oh, I heard that Master B's Xuanji divination technique has been famous all over the world for decades?"

Mu Qingluan nodded, his expression full of admiration.

Liu Tingxi frowned: "My Lady, since you have such a wish, just spread the imperial list!"

Empress Dowager Tang praised: "My lord, you don't know something. Party B in the East China Sea has a very perverse temperament... Well, maybe people with special skills are like this!"

"Then what do you want to ask?"

Liu Tingxi's tone was faint, and her eyes were vaguely inquisitive.

"A few days ago, Venerable Lengyue from Ludi Palace came to see me and said some incomprehensible words. By the way, there was also half a piece of red jade."

"Red Fei?"

Liu Tingxi's heart skipped a beat, "Looks like we have to decide quickly!"

"This jade pendant...has your prince heard of it?"

"Oh, I don't know..."

Liu Tingxi was completely surprised when she pressed the button, her expression calm and composed, as if she really didn't know anything about it.

"I am also very surprised and suspicious. Alas, I wonder what these Jianghu gangs are planning? What a headache!"

"...It's okay, don't make any trouble, some people and some things have already been determined by cause and effect!"

Empress Dowager Tang yawned, rubbed her eyes and said: "Then please give me more trouble...I am tired!"

Liu Tingxi nodded, quickly took off her fur and put it on Empress Dowager Tang, took her head and leaned it gently on her shoulder.

…

In the evening, the smell of meat wafted from the cave. In the dead of winter, Mu Qingluan, who was very skilled in martial arts, went out for a walk and actually hunted back a little rabbit. Liu Qing handled it with quick hands and feet, and after a while, the golden rabbit appeared.

The tempting aroma of the juicy rabbit meat wafted out, and I woke up with a craving for the soup queen in her sleep.

"It smells so good. This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten!"

"Well, it's really good!"

"You brat, it turns out you have such skills!"

Liu Tingxi praised Liu Qing, used a dagger to cut the roasted golden and tender rabbit meat into thin slices, and handed it to Queen Mother Tang, her eyes filled with adoration.

"Wow, Your Majesty, your knife skills are amazing!"
