"Bad …" When Xiao Hua saw this, he complained bitterly in his heart, "Damn it, how could my mouth be so slippery?
How could I say these things so casually?
Not to mention Hongxia Fairy, even the late Xue Xue … "
Just as Xiao Hua was regretting, Xin Xin raised her head again. Her face was red, but she still had a resolute expression as she said, "Xiaohua, I, a Confucian Sage, have said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. You've saved this concubine several times, so this concubine should repay you with her body.
However … this concubine feels that my humble appearance cannot enter your eyes. Moreover, this concubine has a heavy responsibility. Before rescuing Jiayan, this concubine doesn't dare to mention this important matter! "
"Don't, don't …" Xiao Hua hurriedly waved his hand. His face and neck were red as he said, "This concubine never meant that!
This concubine was only joking. Don't take it seriously!
Since your father is being suppressed in the Profound Water Palace, you and I should hurry in and rescue him. "
Xin Xin's eyes flashed with gratitude, but there was also a trace of disappointment. However, she slightly smiled and cleverly concealed it. She said, "This concubine's heart is in a mess right now!
Young Master, please don't take my words to heart. "
As she spoke, she looked at the door of the Profound Water Palace again, not daring to take a step forward.
"Xin Xin, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Hua frowned and asked, puzzled.
"Alas …" Xin Xin sighed again. "To tell you the truth, this concubine was born in a second-rank Confucian family in the Hidden Immortal Continent. Since childhood, this concubine has enjoyed a luxurious life. Young Master may not know the splendor and wealth that this concubine has enjoyed. Even the princess of a country may not be able to compare to this concubine.
Oh, I don't know if Young Master has heard of the Cha Nu Kingdom in the Hidden Immortal Continent. The power behind that kingdom is a branch of my Xin Clan. Their princess is simply not worthy of being in my Xin Clan.
Alas, this concubine is talking too far … When this concubine grew up and could cultivate, this concubine not only read all the ancient books in the clan, but also learned some Daoist magic by analogy. At a young age, this concubine entered the realm of refining essence into qi.
When this concubine's cultivation was successful, the clan passed down my Xin Clan's Gold Essence Cultivation Technique.
This Gold Qi Gathering Art is very difficult to cultivate, and it has always been exclusively cultivated by the men in the tribe. However, in my hands, it is like a smooth path for me. The bottlenecks that many others encounter do not even exist in my eyes.
Thinking back to that time, I really felt like I was a heavenly beauty! "
"Your aptitude is much better than this little student's!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
"What's the use of having good aptitude?
Cultivation is just cultivation, nothing more. "
A bitter look appeared on Xin Xin's face, and she said, "I wholeheartedly practiced, wanting to refine the Gold Qi into the Five Qis Unification realm. So, I searched for ancient books and secret arts in the clan and even in the Hidden Immortal Continent, wanting to see the mystery of Confucian cultivation. However, when I found a trace of truth that was buried in time, I found another big secret in the clan!"
At this point, Xin Xin looked at Xiao Hua: "Presumably, Young Master already knows what this secret is, right?"
"En." Xiao Hua nodded. "It's not like I have a pig's head. How could I not guess?"
"Alas, I never thought that a second-rank aristocratic family would actually hide such filthy things!"
Xin Xin sighed more than once, "My father was originally a candidate for the position of Clan Head, but the current Clan Head, in order to fight for this position, actually tricked my father into coming here in the name of treasure hunting, and then used an immortal tool to suppress him!
And in order to cover up his crime, he pretended to be fond of me. He never rejected my requests and agreed to all of them. If I didn't obtain the Ink Cloud Pupil personally written by my father, how would I know the big secret of this world! "
"Si …" Seeing the always strong Xin Xin become so weak, and the bitterness in her heart poured out, Xiao Hua couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, "Poor Xin Xin!
I didn't think that you had so many difficulties in your heart. Previously, you hid so many secrets, and this little student thought that you coveted the immortal tool, but I didn't think … "
At this point, Xiao Hua couldn't say anything more. He felt that he really let Xin Xin down.
"Young Master, don't blame yourself!"
Xin Xin raised her head, tears in the corners of her eyes. "It's all in the past. You just need to believe me from now on!
But now, I'm standing in front of the Profound Water Palace. My wish of so many years is about to come true, but I'm still a bit nervous. I don't know what I'll be facing.
Or will it all be for nothing?
Or … "
Xin Xin didn't dare to continue. At this moment, she felt her hand warm as a large hand grasped her trembling, cold hand. Xiao Hua's voice sounded in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Xin Xin. You didn't dare to say it before because you were afraid of danger at any time. You were even more afraid of delaying the chance to save your father, so you always faced it alone.
And now, you have me. The ancients were right: if two people share happiness, they'll be two; if two people share pain, they'll be two halves.
This little student is willing to share this pain with you and reduce your pain by half! "
"Many thanks, Young Master …." Xin Xin was momentarily dazed by the sight of the Profound Water Palace. After saying so much, her heart felt somewhat empty. However, when she heard Xiao Hua's words of comfort, her heart suddenly felt full. Although the words "Young Master" didn't refer to Little Blossom, they contained a lot of meaning.
"Let's go in!"
Xiao Hua raised his head and narrowed his eyes, "Since we're already here, we have to face reality. Even if it's an immortal artifact, this little student wants to flip it over and see what it's like!"
"Young Master, you're so bold!"
Xin Xin praised. She gently pulled her hand out of Xiao Hua's grasp, and then took out the golden hairpin from her hair. She smiled and said, "However, Young Master only needs to help this concubine rescue Jiayan from the suppression of the immortal tool. There's no need to overturn the immortal tool!"
Xiao Hua smiled, raised his eyes to look at the enormous palace doors, and walked in.
Contrary to Xiao Hua's expectations, there was no obstruction at the entrance. There was no radiance or ripples of magic power. It was no different from the entrance of an ordinary palace.
Xin Xin naturally followed him into the Profound Water Palace. As soon as she entered, she immediately looked around with an extremely anxious expression on her face.
"Xin Xin, don't be anxious!"
Xiao Hua reminded her, "Since we've already entered, it's best to be careful. Don't lose your composure because of this."
Xin Xin took a deep breath and nodded, "You're right, Young Master. I don't know why, but my mind has been in chaos over and over again today. I'm afraid it's because I'm about to see my father, right?"
"Alas, this little student originally wanted to search for the immortal artifact separately from you, but now it seems like we can only go together!" Xiao Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
Xin Xin lowered her head in embarrassment and looked at the ground. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "I'll listen to Young Master's instructions."
"Let's go. We'll start searching from the left …" Xiao Hua waved his hand and led Xin Xin towards the left side of the Profound Water Palace.
The floor of the Profound Water Palace was paved with huge bluestones, each of them dozens of feet in size. The edges of every bluestone were covered with strange runes. These runes were golden in color, and they flowed as Xiao Hua and Xin Xin walked. Although Xiao Hua couldn't sense any ripples of magic power from these runes, he believed that the restrictions within the Profound Water Palace were definitely more formidable than any of the previous passages.
First, they arrived before a coiling dragon pillar. Xiao Hua and Xin Xin's gazes fell on the pillar and the coiling dragon. The pillar itself didn't have any radiance, but the coiling dragon's muscular body emitted a faint golden light. This golden light seemed to come from the coiling dragon's scales and body. The huge dragon head that coiled its way up the pillar had its bloody mouth open and was facing the top of the palace.
Xiao Hua stretched out his hand and touched the coiling dragon pillar. An extremely cold feeling came from his palm. Xiao Hua frowned slightly and slowly withdrew his hand. After that, the two of them circled the pillar a few more times. However, they didn't find anything strange about the pillar.
The two of them looked at each other and didn't seem to be disappointed. Soon after, they continued walking forward.
The palace was huge. The two of them walked for the time it took to burn a stick of incense before they arrived at a high platform with more than ten steps.
Above the platform was a small space with a golden seat. Xiao Hua and Xin Xin were facing the other side of the palace that they hadn't explored before.
Xiao Hua looked up and said to Xin Xin, "It seems that the immortal artifact isn't below the platform!"
Xin Xin didn't pay attention to Xiao Hua. Instead, she looked at the golden seat on the platform and bit her lip. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Xiao Hua didn't dare to disturb her. He stopped and waited quietly at the side.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Xin Xin spoke, "Young Master, if I'm not mistaken, the immortal artifact should be beside the golden seat!
Or perhaps, this golden seat is the immortal artifact itself! "
"It can't be?
This seat is the immortal artifact? "Xiao Hua was flabbergasted." This … isn't the appearance of the immortal artifact a little too low? "
"If Young Master doesn't believe me, we can go forward and take a look!" Xin Xin slightly tightened her grip on the golden hairpin in her right hand and said with a forced smile.
"Okay!" Xiao Hua nodded. He lifted his leg and said while walking, "This young man doesn't believe …"
However, before he could finish his words, his raised leg stopped in midair!
Because a layer of invisible restriction appeared out of thin air above the high platform, blocking Xiao Hua and Xin Xin below the high platform.
"Young Master, move aside. Let me take a look …" Xin Xin saw that there was something strange about the platform. Instead of being surprised, she was happy. She took a few steps to the side and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her originally black and white eyes gradually grew golden threads. Those golden threads grew more and more until her entire pupil turned golden. Suddenly, Xiao Hua's vision blurred. It seemed that Xin Xin had blinked. Her pupils suddenly shook and two golden pupils overlapped each other!
Immediately, Xin Xin slowly walked to the front of the platform. She looked up and down, left and right. Moreover, she looked while walking, as if she was looking for a flaw in the restriction.
After looking for half a meal's time, Xin Xin's figure slightly swayed and then she closed her eyes. Xiao Hua was just about to ask with concern when he saw Xin Xin's hand hit the top of her head. "Keng …" A golden sound soared into the sky. A golden sword appeared in the air along with true energy.
