"don't want."

Lu Siche looked up at Li Lingjun and said in the most sincere tone of asking: "Wait a little longer."

Li Lingjun hesitated for a long time. He closed his hair and nodded.

He knew that what Lu Siche was right.

Even though the woman with supreme power would definitely be interested in his ideas, or had already been waiting for him to make some requests on his own initiative, he knew very well that the woman who was respected by the people of Changling on weekdays and was wrapped in various praises, in fact, had a cold and decisive side that ordinary people could not achieve.

If he made too many concessions, even if he could return to the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, which was blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers, and even if he could finally sit on the most exquisite throne in the world, the entire Great Chu may no longer be the original Great Chu.

But how long can I wait?

He turned his head and looked at the dark night outside the window, feeling that every night in Changling was so long, but the time was still so insufficient.

While Lu Siche turned his head, his heart pounded and his breathing stopped involuntarily.

Because he saw that Li Lingjun's hairline was snow-white.

When the rooster crowed, a faint red light flashed on the platform in front of the Taoist temple at the highest point of the Aries Cave.

On the cushion in the Taoist temple, Xue Wangxu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Li Daoji who was standing in the last darkness before dawn, cleared his throat, and asked softly: "Can the boy's recent practice be considered smooth?"

Li Daoji nodded coldly and said, "He is the most smooth practitioner I have seen. After the five energy sinks into the Jade Palace a few days ago, after breaking through to the level of the second level of cultivation, there is no confusion in the next practice. The obstacles and levels that practitioners will encounter seem to not exist in front of him."

A hint of excitement appeared in Xue Wangxu's calm eyes. He looked at Li Daoji and asked seriously: "Do you think he is really likely to break through to the second realm before the sword sacrifice trial?"

"It depends on his speed of breaking through the realm. After all, breaking through the realm at a great realm is completely different from the obstacles in daily practice. If there are not many obstacles in this kind of realm, then he should become the kind of monster who breaks through to the Qi Refining Realm in one month of practice." Li Daoji said these words in detail, and then continued in a slightly cold tone: "It's just that he was almost killed in this night just past."

Xue Wangxu was stunned.

He thought Li Daoji appeared in front of him so early, and wanted to discuss Ding Ning's cultivation issues with him.

Li Daoji looked at Xue Wangxu with a cold expression. Before Xue Wangxu could speak, he had already continued: "I don't know who it is, but the leader is a true essence realm, and there are many talismans on his body. The Shendu Superintendent is already investigating this matter."

Xue Wangxu frowned, but he still didn't say anything.

Li Daoji looked at him and continued, "Ding Ning broke two ribs and was injured, but he was still quite successful. He and a person from the city who was just a Qi Refining Realm actually killed the practitioner in the True Yuan Realm."

Xue Wangxu's brows suddenly stretched out, and his eyes were filled with strange light. He exclaimed softly: "This young man really gave us Aries Cave."

Now Li Daoji frowned.

Because in his opinion, no matter from any aspect, this is not something to be happy about.

The strange brilliance in Xue Wangxu's eyes was still expanding, but his wrinkled old face began to be covered with strange brilliance.

He thought for a while and then stood up.

"You'll stay here today, don't go anywhere." He smiled slightly at Li Daoji in a very good mood.

Li Daoji's breathing was inexplicably paused. He felt something. He looked up at Xue Wangxu and said slowly: "Since the Shendu Superintendent has intervened, Ding Ning will naturally return to the safe mountain. You don't need to go out at all."

“That’s different.”

Xue Wangxu shook his head. His eyes, which seemed to be forever indifferent on weekdays, began to fill with a rare look of pride. This look was very similar to the look on Du Qingjiao's face when he left the Aries Cave.

"There are few things that make me feel happy and have a light on my face over the years."

"I finally had a student who had a one-and-a-half-day Tongxuan, and even a month of Qi refining, and it was specially left to me by my senior brother when he left, but he was almost killed last night."

"Of course I know that the Gods Chief will definitely let him return to the Aries Cave safely, but I haven't left the Aries Cave for a long time. If I don't go out... Even if I'm alive, others think I'm dead."

"Do you know who is the most terrifying person in this world? It's not the kind of person who is not afraid of death, but the person who dies very quickly and doesn't have to worry about whether he will die. I'm too old and dying, but in the end I still have to remind people of this."

Xue Wangxu's voice was still echoing in the Taoist temple, but his figure had disappeared.

Disappeared in front of Li Daoji, and disappeared among the white clouds pressing on this Taoist temple.

When the first ray of dawn shone on the sycamore tree, Ding Ning woke up as usual.

He coughed gently, and the pain of breaking two ribs was nothing to him, but with the intense force, the feeling of soreness throughout his body that had not been seen for a long time still made him feel very uncomfortable.

Changsun Qianxue sat at the window as usual, combing her long hair like a waterfall.

"The carriage in Aries Cave is now parked outside the door."

She did not turn around and said coldly: "But there was one more person in the carriage, and the coachman did not notice it. He should be a practitioner who has reached the fifth level, but was injured. He should be Wang Taixu."

Ding Ning knew that her perception would never have any problems at this distance, and his eyes were filled with joy.

"Today is a bit special. I went back to Aries Cave earlier and couldn't cook porridge for you." He said apologetically to Changsun Qianxue while washing up quickly.

Changsun Qianxue was silent.

She wanted to retort, but she vaguely felt that at least the progress of her cultivation in this shabby alley over the years exceeded her expectations, and she often even got used to what Ding Ning did for her.

Just like now, when he told her that he could not cook porridge for her, during such a few breaths, what she thought in her mind was not that she would not have any problems not eating a meal, but that if she had no porridge to drink, would she have to go out and buy something to eat?

Maybe go buy a bowl of noodles he often eats?

...

Parking in front of the carriage outside the wine shop, the kind-hearted middle-aged coachman was waiting anxiously.

He already knew what happened last night, and knew that Ding Ning was seriously injured, but based on the fact that he had picked up and dropped Ding Ning every day for the past half month, he knew that even if Ding Ning could not go back to Aries Cave today, he would have told him.

Suddenly, when I saw the door of the wine shop open, I saw Ding Ning, who looked a little pale inexplicably, and the coachman's face suddenly appeared in his face, and a look of guilt immediately appeared in his eyes.

"How are your injuries? Are you going to go back to Aries Cave today?"

"If you want to go back, even if you treat the injury, Aries Cave will definitely be better than the doctors in this neighborhood."

"I was really negligent yesterday... Later, an official came to check my carriage. The axle was cut by a sharp weapon after entering Changling. Someone should have tampered with it on the road. But you are already a student of Aries Cave. Not to mention the division commanders of Aries Cave... Even officials from each department will treat it differently. I really didn't expect anyone to deal with you."

"This is an accident, and you are not a practitioner. If you discover it early, you may save your life."

After talking to the coachman for a few words, when the coachman turned around and stopped the horse, Ding Ning quickly lifted the curtain of the car into a small corner, and then flashed in quickly.

Looking at the figure curled up quietly on the soft collapse, Ding Ning made a gesture of silence, but coughed lightly, and said to the coachman outside: "Today is probably more anxious than usual. If you get off the car, please hurry up."

The coachman who was favored by the Aries Cave on weekdays thought Ding Ning was in a hurry to go back to the Aries Cave for healing, and said simply: "I have put more cushions and bedding in it. When it is bumpy, you should be careful."

After responding to this, the coachman fired a whip and drove to the car.

Covered by the sharp sound of horse hooves and the rolling sound of wheels, Ding Ning looked at Wang Taixu, who was curled up beside him, with a face like gold paper, and even his body seemed to shrink a little, and said softly: "It's so miserable... I have to try to hide in this carriage in Aries Cave?"

Wang Taixu looked at Ding Ning who seemed to have noticed that he was hiding in the carriage with a pale smile on his face.

“It’s miserable.”

"A few brothers who follow me to conquer the world can support two floors after I die. They all died last night."

"To find out the news and to get to your carriage, two more people died for me."

"I have to admit that you gave me the biggest surprise again. In those assassins last night, you and I were the only survivors."

Ding Ning was not shocked when he heard these words. He just pondered and said softly: "It seems that the nobleman in the army behind Jinlin Tang is unwilling to give up?"

"As long as I can last for these few days, I will make him unwilling to pay the price." Wang Taixu held back his cough and said softly.

Ding Ning shook his head. He did not answer Wang Taixu's words, but just muttered, "Aries Cave won't ignore me, right? At least Li Daoji should come out to pick me up..."

The speeding carriage was already driving on the official road in the suburbs of Changling.

Logically speaking, on this wider road, the carriage would run faster, but Ding Ning and Wang Taixu, who were sitting in the carriage, could both feel that the speed of the carriage had dropped.

More than a dozen chariots flashing with cold bronze light occupied most of the road ahead, and dozens of sergeants in scale were checking passing pedestrians and vehicles one by one.
