Returning the scroll of the land, Ning Chen was reluctant in his heart, although he had already memorized the mental methods and moves in it, but after all, this was something he got at the risk of his life, and he was really a little unwilling to return it like this.

But the seniors have already spoken, so he endures it.

"Ahh

After taking two steps, Ning Chen still felt unbalanced in his heart and walked back.

Seeing the former coming back, the ghost girl was also stunned, and she didn't know why.

"Why don't we continue to fight, I won, you can return the scroll of the earth to me again" Ning Chen said very seriously.

Prince Yan's mansion, Prince Yan smiled calmly, didn't care about it anymore, and slowly closed his eyes.

This kid is messing around again, let him toss.

The green sword roared, turned into a meteor and flew back from afar, with a sonorous sound, and disappeared into the sword frame.

On the other side, the ghost girl was a little confused by the sudden thinking of the young man in front of her, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer.

"It's almost dawn, I'm going back" After a while, the ghost girl came back to her senses and politely refused.

"Are you afraid of light?" Ning Chen asked strangely.

"I'm not afraid, I just don't like it," the ghost girl replied, shaking her head.

Ning Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "I want to know, is there really a flower in the underworld?"

"Yes" the ghost girl bowed, "A hundred years ago, I saw one on the other side of the Yellow Spring, but it was destroyed by the underworld"

"Hades" Ning Chen frowned, it was the first time he had heard of this name.

With a wave of the ghost girl's hand, a ghost bead condensed by ghost qi appeared, "This is a ghost bead, which can avoid the poison of weak water, if you want to find the flower on the other side, you can come to the underworld to find me in the future."

Ning Chen unceremoniously took the ghost bead and put it away, don't be in vain, compared to the scroll of the earth, he has lost a lot.

"Where is the entrance to the underworld?" Ning Chen asked.

"The place where you first entered the underworld, three hundred miles to the west, at the end of the fog forest"

After speaking, the ghost light around the ghost girl rose, and the broken ghost sedan chair regathered if it was inducted, and it was restored in a blink of an eye.

The bull head and horse face carried the sedan chair, the ghost girl entered, and the black and white impermanence opened the way, and walked away step by step.

"Beware of Hades"

The last warning, as the distant figure gradually disappeared, Ning Chen stood in place for a moment, and then walked away.

Prince Yan's Mansion, Ning Chen came over, and the housekeeper stepped forward to open the door and welcome the former in.

"Senior" Ning Chen entered the inner hall and saluted respectfully.

"En" Prince Yan got up and answered.

"Senior, junior has something to understand, I hope the seniors can help," Ning Chen said respectfully.

"Say it," Prince Yan said calmly.

Ning Chen carefully described the situation when Fang Cai fought with Su Feiyan, it was the first time he had seen such an exercise, and he was very uncomfortable with the fight.

Hearing Ning Chen's description, Prince Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "It's the Spring Thunder Qin and the Seven Strings Heavenly Technique."

"If this king is not mistaken, this woman should be a descendant of the He Xi Dynasty"

"He Xi Dynasty?"

Ning Chen frowned, he had heard this name, thousands of years ago, the Great Xia ancestors fought in the south and the north, defeating countless countries, and the two strongest of them were the Ziyin Dynasty and the He Xi Dynasty.

The He Xi Dynasty was slightly weaker than the most powerful Ziyin Dynasty at that time, but it also brought a lot of trouble to Great Xia.

Prince Yan bowed his head and continued, "The Spring Thunder Qin is the treasure of the Hexi Dynasty, with the seven-string heavenly technique, the power is amazing, and it is said that the seven-string movement is in unison, and even the powerhouses of the Three Tribulations cannot stop it."

"Isn't the He Xi Dynasty already extinct, why are there still descendants left, how can the emperor of Great Xia tolerate such a thing" Ning Chen was puzzled.

At any time, what every emperor is most afraid of is the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, as long as they are discovered, they will spare no effort to exterminate them.

Prince Yan said lightly, "Things are not as simple as you think, in fact, not only the He Xi Dynasty, but even the Ziyin Dynasty have descendants who survived, Great Xia fought at that time, and there were too many countries to exterminate, and they couldn't be wiped out at all, and at that time, the two major dynasties had strong people in the Three Tribulations, and the ancestors of Great Xia didn't dare to force it too tightly, so they could only let the royal families of the two dynasties escape."

Ning Chen was silent, this is troublesome, if the Ten Princes really have a deal with the royal family of the previous dynasty, then the position of the Xia Emperor cannot be sat by him no matter what.

"Seniors, juniors still have something to do, retire first" Thinking of this, Ning Chen bowed and turned to leave.

Back at the Hou Mansion, before Ning Chen could enter the house, a black-clothed figure walked quickly and said respectfully, "Lord Hou, the spies have a report, and the third prince has contact with Beimeng."

Hearing this, Ning Chen frowned, and said, "Continue to stare at it, and report back immediately if there is a situation."

"Yes" The black-clothed figure commanded and quickly left.

"It's really heartbreaking" Ning Chen snorted coldly, a chill flashed in his eyes, for the sake of the throne, these two people were crazy.

The waning moon traveled west, and the night was coming to an end, Ning Chen went back to the house and wrote a note, and then sent someone to send it to Tailisi.

An hour later, when it was daybreak, a guard trotted in outside the door to make an announcement.

"Master Hou, the Ten Princes sent someone to send an invitation"

"Please come to the front hall, I'll be there later," Ning Chen said.

"Yes"

After a while, Ning Chen came to the front hall of the Hou Mansion and saw the two women who came, with no surprise on their faces.

The invitation was placed on the table, and Liu Ruoxi stood quietly aside, with a touch of unknowable weakness for the future on her gorgeous face, which made people feel pity.

Qiu Lan stepped forward and bowed, "Lord Hou, the Ten Princes know that there is no dancing queen in the Hou Mansion, so I will send it here to show my gratitude."

"I'll accept the invitation, and you can take it away," Ning Chen said calmly.

Liu Ruoxi's face was slightly pale, and he knelt down and said, "Hou Ye, if it is time to leave the cabinet, you will either pick up customers or sell them to the powerful, and the best result is only to be sent out with some silver taels when you are old and decrepit.

Liu Ruoxi's eyes were full of tears, and her face was pleading, at this moment it seemed that she was no longer an oiran, but a poor woman who was just asking for a place to live, which made people can't bear to refuse.

As long as it is a man, no one can deny the charm of Liu Ruoxi, as an Oiran, Allure's face and bewitching posture are enough to make men all over the world crazy.

However, this is an era of paying attention to the right people, and no matter how beautiful the face is, it can't hide the lowliness of its identity, and if no one is sheltered, becoming a plaything is the only outcome.

"So what, what's my business?"

Still an understatement, without any emotion, Ning Chen was unmoved, showing the coldest side of human nature.

Hearing the answer, Liu Ruoxi's delicate body was shocked, her face turned pale, and tears flowed down her eyes unconsciously.

"Let's send off the guests," Ning Chen said lightly.

"Yes" At the door of the front hall, a guard walked in, and immediately stretched out his hand, signaling the two to leave.

Qiu Lan and Liu Ruoxi had to leave with the guards, and when they were leaving, Liu Ruoxi looked at Ning Chen again pleadingly, however, in exchange for the most ruthless indifference.

......

"Miss, failed"

In the Lingyan Pavilion, Qiu Lan looked at Su Feiyan who was playing the piano and said respectfully.

"Oh, did he still refuse" Su Feiyan's hand stopped and thought for a while, "In that case, let's give her to the matchmaker."

Behind Qiu Lan, Liu Ruoxi's delicate body trembled fiercely, knelt down, and begged, "Miss, please give me another chance"

"No need, go and prepare, from today onwards, your one qiē will be arranged by the matchmaker" Liu Ruoxi, who was in the face, pleaded, and Su Feiyan refused indifferently.

The last hope was shattered, and Liu Ruoxi's face was like ashes in an instant, her beautiful eyes were empty, and she could no longer see a trace of light.

After the Oiran Conference, the Yin River is still very lively, the flower boats are flowing, and the talented and beautiful people drink with the boat, enjoying this beautiful scenery.

The Ten Princes came, had a brief conversation with Su Feiyan, and then stepped onto a flower boat and waited for one person to arrive.

At noon, Ning Chen came over and also got on the flower boat.

"Knowing the fate, please," Xia Mingri said politely.

Ning Chen sat down, looked at the Ten Princes in front of him, who was about the same age as him, and did not speak in a hurry.

"If it's a pity, come and pour wine," Xia Mingri said.

"Yes" Liu Ruoxi walked over, his eyes were blank, and he lost a lot of color compared to usual.

Ning Chen was still indifferent, and his expression did not change at all.

Xia Mingri paid attention to it for a long time, and finally, he sighed in his heart, this fateful marquis was really like a legend, cold-blooded and ruthless, without the slightest mercy.

"Stand down" Xia Mingyue finally decided to give up this chess piece and said softly.

Liu Ruoxi was shocked, his eyes came back to his senses in an instant, looking at the two of them, he didn't know where he got the courage at this moment, regardless of the order of the Ten Princes, he knelt in front of Ning Chen again.

"Master Hou, as a martial marquis, you are in power, why can't you tolerate a weak woman" Liu Ruoxi was angry and unwilling.

Hearing such a bold question, a flash of surprise flashed in Xia Mingri's eyes, he underestimated this weak woman.

"Miss Liu, what are you asking for" Ning Chen didn't get angry, but asked calmly.

"A place to stay," Liu Ruo replied.

"I'll give you a chance, as long as you can give me a reason to stay with you, I'll give you a place you want" Ning Chen raised his head and said lightly.

Hope instantly rose in Liu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes, as if she had grabbed the last life-saving straw when she was drowning, and she had to hold on to it desperately.

Moments later, however, much of that hope was quickly gone.

The request of the Knowing Destiny Marquis sounds very simple, but in fact it is difficult, what else can a woman from the land of fireworks have besides her body?

She was not stupid, and it was clear that Zhifanghou had no interest in her body.

Liu Ruoxi's eyes gradually dimmed, and she really couldn't think of any other reason for her to let Zhiming Hou keep her.

"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, although the Hou Mansion is big, it never raises idlers, and Ben Hou really can't find a reason to keep you"

After waiting for a long time, Liu Ruoxi still hadn't answered, Ning Chen spoke indifferently, without a trace of pity, and pressed the former into the abyss of despair little by little.

Liu Ruoxi's heartache was difficult to breathe, and she still wanted to surface desperately, struggling and said, "Master Hou, I can learn anything"

The corners of Ning Chen's mouth curved into an indifferent arc, "No need, Ben Hou can't afford to wait"

Ning Chen's words ruthlessly shattered Liu Ruoxi's last hope, the cruelest thing in this world is to give people hope but ruthlessly shatter it.

Liu Ruoxi's body staggered, almost unsteady, and her beautiful face was dead and completely lost its color. I1387
