Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 268 The Demon and the Scholar

"Not very well. He's probably very tired from traveling for days. He's still coughing, and it seems like he has caught a cold."

After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he noticed that Yan Ciwan's expression was not right, so he asked her what was wrong?
Yan Ciwan leaned her hands on the armrests of the chair and moved closer to Xiao Wang. She lowered her voice and expressed her guess.

Xiao Wang felt a faint scent of soapberry entering his nose. He guessed it was the smell of Yan Ciwan's hair. He felt a little distracted.

After Yan Ciwan finished speaking, he asked him what he thought?

Xiao thought about it for a while before saying, "If Prince Ning really escaped from Beidu, it means that the current situation in Beidu is very serious. Beidu's location is very special, and the court will definitely not give up. By then, another war is inevitable."

The chess game between Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou ended with Du Lingzhou losing miserably. He was very unconvinced and kept clamoring for another game.

Li Chengge refused to play chess with him anymore.

"You are such a lousy chess player. Not only do you always regret your moves, but you even tried to run away just now. It's so boring to play chess with you."

Du Lingzhou actually didn't like playing chess very much. Seeing that Li Chengge disliked him so much, his rebellious psychology suddenly came up. He sat firmly on the chair and refused to move, insisting on playing another game.

Yan Ciwan looked in the direction of the voice and when he saw Li Chengge, he couldn't help but think of his guess about his identity.

If Li Chengge is really a prince, then he and Prince Ning are brothers. He knows that Prince Ning is also here, but he doesn't seem to care at all and has no intention of meeting his brother.

The heavy rain lasted for three days and two nights.

During this period, Yan Ciwan stayed in the house and never went out. She was really afraid that she would be involved in some bizarre murder case again.

The rain finally stopped on the third night, but as it was getting late, Xiao Xie decided to wait until the next day to set off.

The people from the Internal Guard decided to set off that night, and before leaving, the leader of the Grand Council sent someone to inform Xiao Yu.

After Xiao Yu learned about this, he didn't say much, but his brows showed a hint of worry.

On the morning of the fourth day, Yan Ciwan and everyone left the village and continued towards Chang'an in a carriage.

Perhaps God felt that there had been too much rain in the previous period, so it was sunny for five consecutive days, and then it started to rain again. Fortunately, it was just drizzle and had little impact.

After more than a month of rest, Yan Ciwan's leg injury has almost healed.

She was tired of riding in a carriage, so she and Xiao Wang chose to ride horses.

The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind was carrying raindrops. Yan Ciwan was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, but she could still feel the chill seeping into her bones. Although it was already spring, the temperature was still very low. Fortunately, she was a martial artist with strong internal strength, so this little coldness was nothing to her.

She looked at Xiao Wang. His profile seemed particularly stern in the wind and rain, and his skin had a cold white luster.

Yan Ciwan couldn't help but think of a big cat with its fur wet by the rain. The wet cat looked both pitiful and cute.

Xiao Wang suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

The image in Yan Ciwan's mind was suddenly shattered. She pretended to be curious and asked, "How far are we from Chang'an now?"

"It's probably still twelve days away."

Yan Ciwan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Xiao Wang drove his horse closer to Yan Ciwan and asked, "Where do you plan to stay when you get to Chang'an?"

"Inn."

Xiao Wang gently reminded: "The inn in Chang'an is very expensive."

Yan Ciwan thought of his empty purse and fell silent.

Xiao Wang took the opportunity to suggest: "If you don't mind, you can come and stay at my house. I have a lot of guest rooms."

"That's not good. I don't even know your family. If I move in rashly, I'm afraid it will disturb your family."

"You are my savior. My grandfather and father must want to thank you in person."

Yan Ciwan was still very hesitant.

Xiao Wang added: "You suffer from soul separation syndrome, so it's best not to stay too far away from me, lest I won't be able to call your soul back in time the next time you have an attack."

This reason convinced Yan Ciwan.

She said helplessly: "Then I have no choice but to come and disturb you." Xiao Wang's lips curled slightly, and he was in a good mood.

Originally he was worried that Yan Ci Wan would leave him when they arrived in Chang'an, but now all his worries were gone. He began to look forward to reaching Chang'an as soon as possible so that he could take Yan Ci Wan home to meet his elders.

Ten days flew by.

It was time again for Yan Ciwan to detoxify Xiao Wang.

They stayed in a small inn at night. After taking a medicinal bath, Xiao Wang sat in the room and waited for a while. There was a knock on the door. He immediately walked forward and opened the door. The person standing outside was indeed Yan Ciwan.

He stepped aside to let Yan Ciwan in, then gently closed the door.

Xiao Wang undressed skillfully, and then Yan Ciwan placed his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and began to concentrate on practicing internal energy, and a steady stream of internal energy was transferred into Xiao Wang's body.

After it was over, Yan Ciwan put down her hands. Her face turned pale due to the excessive consumption of her internal energy.

Xiao Wang asked her to sit down and rest for a while.

After recovering from the shock, Yan Ciwan stood up and walked out.

Xiao Wang put on his clothes and followed her, saying, "I'll take you back."

Yan Ci Wan said no, but Xiao Wang insisted, so she had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

It was already dark at this time, and most people in the inn had gone to bed. The two walked side by side on the corridor. Xiao Wang held a lantern in his hand, and the dim light from the lantern illuminated a small area under their feet.

The night wind blew Xiao Wang's hair, and the hair floated up and touched Yan Ci Wan's cheek. She raised her hand and grabbed a strand of hair. It felt very smooth, like silk.

Xiao Wang paused and turned to look at her.

Yan Ciwan reluctantly let go of her hand: "Sorry."

"I'm the one who should apologize. It was my hair that hit you." Although Xiao Wang said this, he had no intention of moving away. His black eyes glowed softly in the night.

The night wind continued to blow, and his hair was still fluttering behind him.

At this moment, he looked like the demon in the story that could absorb people's souls, and Yan Ciwan was the scholar whose mind was blinded by beauty.

When the atmosphere was becoming charming, someone suddenly shouted.

"What are you two doing standing there?"

Yan Ciwan came to his senses, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Du Lingzhou walking towards him.

Du Lingzhou looked them up and down and asked suspiciously, "Are you guys here to have a love affair?"

Xiao Wang asked coldly: "What does this have to do with you?!"

Yan Ciwan didn't want to get entangled with Du Lingzhou, a simple-minded but strong-limbed guy, so she said, "I'll go back first."

Xiao Wang responded with a "OK" and watched Yan Ciwan return to the guest room where he lived.

Du Lingzhou was shocked when he saw this: "Tsk tsk tsk! You must have fallen for Ning Ci. You are so brave that you dare to provoke a tough girl like Ning Ci. Aren't you afraid that she will abuse you after you get married? With your small body, she can knock you to the ground with just one punch."

"Since you know how powerful she is, why do you still dare to make up stories about her? Aren't you afraid that she will beat you to a pulp?"

Du Lingzhou crossed his arms and said complacently: "She has gone back to the house and can't hear what I say, hehe."

Xiao Wang's gaze fell behind him, with a teasing look in his eyes: "Look back, she is right behind you."

Du Lingzhou felt a numbness on his back, and he pretended to be calm and retorted: "Impossible, you must be tricking me."

"If you don't believe me, you can look back."

Du Lingzhou couldn't help but feel a little shaken when he saw Xiao Wang looking behind him.

He turned around slowly, forced a smile, and was about to explain to Yan Ci Wan when he saw that there was no one behind him and there was no sign of Yan Ci Wan at all.

He immediately realized that he had been tricked and was so angry that he turned around to find Xiao Wang to settle the score, but found that Xiao Wang had already left.

"Xiao Liulang, stop right there! How dare you play tricks on me!"
