Chapter 204
Breaking through the shackles of profound power means that she is no longer bound by it, no longer out of her control every month, and her profound power will even increase greatly, making her virtually invincible in the world.
The temptation was immense, but she couldn't bring herself to agree.
She would never hand Feng Tian over to a stranger.
Nalan Jingwen remained silent, his face grim.
Changsheng wasn't in a hurry. He leaned back in his chair, eating pastries with a calm expression.
After a long silence, Nalan Jing finally asked, "What if I refuse? What will you do then?"
Although these words were spoken to Changsheng, his gaze was fixed on Xue Qingheng, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Changsheng glanced casually in that direction, chuckled, and said, "If Your Highness doesn't agree, I naturally won't do anything to you. I'll just have to work harder to find another way out. It'll just be a hassle for Grand Preceptor Xue to make the trip."
Xue Qingheng seemed not to have heard her words, his gaze fixed on Nalan Jingwen. From the moment Nalan Jingwen stepped into the room, his cold and indifferent gaze had been fixed on her.
Nalan Jingwen's expression was cold and stern, his eyes seemingly swirling with a storm.
"With me here, I will not allow Fengtian's kingdom to suffer even the slightest loss."
Changsheng is indeed a formidable opponent. They have not yet become enemies, so Nalan Jingwen does not yet know her exact strength. However, this does not mean that she will definitely lose.
Chang Sheng's eyes were filled with laughter, but the laughter did not reach his eyes. "This Fengtian empire, even if it doesn't fall into my hands, it will definitely fall into someone else's hands. Why don't we cooperate and hold it firmly in our hands?"
"What do you mean?"
"Would Your Highness like to cooperate with me?"
"Absolutely impossible."
"Then I'm afraid I have no comment."
Nalan Jingwen looked at her, as if trying to discern something from her expression, but Changsheng remained smiling, as if victory was assured, and met her gaze without any attempt to hide it.
Changsheng's words imply that there are others coveting Fengtian's empire, but who exactly are they?
Is it one of the other three kingdoms, or perhaps...?
Now that the current emperor of Qi Lin is nearing the end of his reign, Nangong Jiuyan is dead, and Nangong Muwan is incompetent, the only successor is Nangong Shiyu. It may be another six months before she ascends the throne. Moreover, Qi Lin is currently at war with Sushui and cannot send troops to attack Fengtian. Therefore, it seems that Qi Lin has no chance of attacking Fengtian.
The same applies to Sushui. After its battle with Qilin, it cannot withstand another battle. If Fengtian wanted to attack Sushui, there might still be some possibility. As for Helian Ziyu...
They had a personal relationship, though it was nothing in the context of the two countries. However, Helian Ziyu was a person who disliked war, and if the Emperor of Sushui intended to attack Fengtian, Helian Ziyu would definitely try to dissuade him.
As for Bai Ji, she has been caught in internal strife since she arrived on this continent, leaving her no time to spare. It is unknown what the specifics are, or perhaps it is a false message released to cover up the truth.
Therefore, Baiji in the Three Kingdoms period still needs further investigation.
But if it's not the Three Kingdoms period, then who else could it be?
Or perhaps, there were rebels in Fengtian?
Nalan Jingwen's expression hardened slightly, and her heart sank. She had to set off for Fengtian immediately.
Regardless of the reason, she had to make Nalan Fengxing take precautions.
She stood up and bowed to Changsheng. "No matter what, I thank you for saving my life, and I also thank you on behalf of Qishan. You can ask for anything you want, but this is the only thing I can't have."
"I have lingered here for too long and intend to set off for Fengtian tomorrow."
Changsheng stared at her for a long time, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment before a soft laugh broke the silence.
"Then I will not see Your Highness off."
Having said that, Changsheng lazily got up, her figure graceful and her waist slender. She slowly walked back to the back of the tent, the beaded curtain making a crisp and melodious sound as it fell, concealing her figure and revealing only a faint shadow.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing turned and left without hesitation, before even stepping out of the gate.
Changsheng stopped and glanced sideways.
"What if I told you that I was determined to have Feng Tian?"
His tone was unusually serious, devoid of his usual playful banter, and it sounded like a declaration of war.
Nalan Jingwen paused slightly, but did not turn around.
"We eagerly await your arrival."
After saying that, she stepped straight out the door, but the person behind the curtain had a playful look in her eyes. She slowly lay down on the bed, rubbing her temples, her face pale and sickly.
She murmured softly, "What a pity..."
The sound was very soft and dissipated in the wind. Nalan Jingwen did not hear it. Before she could take two steps, her path was blocked.
She really didn't like the person in front of her, and since they weren't in the capital city, she didn't need to give him any special treatment.
"What advice does the Snow Kingdom Preceptor have for me?"
Xue Qingheng looked at her, his eyes unreadable. He said calmly, "Does Your Highness still remember what Changsheng said just now?"
"Is the Snow Kingdom Preceptor acting as her intermediary?"
Nalan Jingwen took two steps back, creating some distance between them, as she really disliked being so close to someone she hated.
Xue Qingheng glanced at her movements subtly, then took two steps forward, closing the distance between them once again.
Seeing this, Nalan Jingwen frowned and looked up at him coldly, "What does the Snow Kingdom Preceptor mean by this?"
Xue Qingheng's expression was indifferent. His silver-white robes were spotless, and his silver hair was loose and disheveled by the wind, which added to his ethereal appearance. His face, as white as frost and snow, was like that of a banished immortal. However, there was no compassion for the common people in his eyes, only emptiness.
Nalan Jing was used to dealing with this kind of person. They were too mysterious and pretentious. They looked at everything as if it were an inanimate object, especially when they first met. There was no human emotion in their eyes.
Although her eyes now look at her differently, she still doesn't like it, especially after what happened.
Xue Qingheng looked at her and parted his thin lips slightly.
"I can remove the shackles on your profound power."
A single sentence, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, can stir up a thousand ripples.
Nalan Jingwen stared straight into Xue Qingheng's deep and indifferent eyes, trying to find a trace of lying, but Xue Qingheng remained the same, without joy or sorrow, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Nalan Jingwen then suddenly remembered what Changsheng had just said.
'It seems that Grand Preceptor Xue has made a wasted trip.'
So the key to breaking free from these constraints is Xue Qingheng?
Nalan Jingwen's expression froze slightly. They had fought not long ago and had many other conflicts. Their relationship was now as bad as it could get. How could she ask him for help?
Nalan Jingwen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again.
"What does the Snow Kingdom Preceptor want?"
She was prepared for a major hemorrhage, but what Xue Qingheng said surprised her.
"I don't want anything."
Nalan Jingwen's eyes became inquisitive, and he seemed somewhat disbelieving.
Xue Qingheng knew what she was thinking. He looked away and said calmly, "I will help you."
"why?"
Nalan Jingwen did not believe that such a good thing could happen in the world; if something was abnormal, there must be something fishy going on.
Xue Qingheng said, "You and I share an indelible bond."
