The two of them have been in seclusion these days, striving to achieve the state of unity between man and nature.

It was because of them that Bai Yuan stayed here and did not pack up and leave Xinzheng.

After all, the commotion caused last night was indeed so big that it exceeded Bai Yuan’s original plan.

But he couldn't disturb the two of them from their retreat, nor would he allow anyone else to disturb them.

Concubine Yan and Moon God noticed Bai Yuan's gaze and understood what Bai Yuan was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although they didn't know that Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue were in seclusion in order to achieve the state of unity between man and nature, they also understood why Bai Yuan chose to stay.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen looked at each other. They both decided to stay, at least until Bai Yuan finished his business in Xinzheng, and then take the bronze box back.

At this moment, Bai Yuan suddenly frowned.

"Trouble is coming."

At this moment, a team of royal guards had arrived near Bai Yuan's residence. They evacuated all the people from the surrounding streets and then surrounded Bai Yuan.

The girls who were choosing jewelry also heard the noise outside and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

Putting down their jewelry, the women picked up their weapons, looked at Bai Yuan, and waited for his orders.

"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look."

Bai Yuan stood up and walked outside surrounded by a group of female guards.

At the same time, outside the gate of Bai Yuan's residence, Han Fei stood here bitterly, looking at the guards behind him, feeling very headache.

Beside him, Wei Zhuang was holding the shark-tooth sword, with an expression that didn't care.

But the fact that he was able to follow Han Fei here shows that he still recognizes Han Fei as a friend and is worried about Han Fei's safety on this trip.

With a creak, the door opened and Bai Yuan walked out with a group of girls.

"What a big scene, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Yuan looked at Han Fei unkindly.

Han Fei smiled bitterly. "I am here on the orders of my father to investigate what happened in the old palace of Zheng State last night. There was such a big commotion last night. Today in the court, some people even suspected that you were sent by Qin to assassinate my father..."

"What a joke! You slander me without any evidence, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

When Bai Yuan heard this, he was so angry that he laughed. He shook his sleeves and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Yan Fei and others also looked at Han Fei with some disdain.

Who is the King of Han? How dare he frame a master who has reached the state of unity between man and nature?

This kind of thing is considered quite courageous among the seven countries.

Among the masters who have achieved the state of unity between man and nature, which one does not have a bit of arrogance?

Such a groundless accusation is a great slander on the reputation of others. If it angers the masters in the heavenly realm, they might make it come true.

For example, some powerful martial arts masters at the innate realm can fight to the death to take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops.

If this were to be an assassination by a master in the realm of heaven and man, even if the King of Han asked the imperial army to guard him day and night and hide in the palace, it would be useless.

Not to mention that Taoist martial arts are really good at assassination. By then, King Han might not even know how he died.

Han Fei was also very clear about this.

He smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this is impossible, but what happened last night was too big. The entire old palace of Zheng State has become a ruin. The most important thing is that Tianze appeared in Xinzheng."

"Speaking of Tianze, you still have to thank me. If it weren't for me, Han An would probably have died last night!"

Bai Yuan snorted coldly and glanced at the imperial guards.

No matter how you look at it, the King of Han doesn't look like he wants to thank them.

Han Fei also looked back at the imperial guards surrounding this side and called over a leader of the imperial guards.

"You just stay here and don't act rashly, otherwise I will punish you severely!"

"Yes!"

The leader of the imperial guards responded and then stepped aside.

Then Han Fei smiled bitterly.

"I don't want to bring these imperial guards with me. Just pretend they don't exist. Um... why don't we go inside and talk?"

Bai Yuan stared at Han Fei, and without saying anything, he turned and left.

Han Fei shamelessly followed.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang sighed and followed.

Yun Xi left a few sisters here to keep an eye on these imperial guards to prevent them from suddenly launching an attack.

Back in the backyard, Bai Yuan sat down by himself, took a sip from the teacup, and had no intention of entertaining Han Fei at all.

"Hurry up and say whatever you want to say. I don't have that much time to waste."

Han Fei coughed lightly, then bowed respectfully to Bai Yuan and saluted.

"Uncle Master killed Tianze last night, which not only saved my father's life, but also helped South Korea get rid of a great disaster. Han Fei would like to thank you!"

Bai Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him, then smiled playfully.

"This thank you is a bit strange. Didn't you cooperate with Tianze? When Tianze was surrounded by Bai Yifei's army that day, I saw Wei Zhuang going to help."

When Han Fei and Wei Zhuang heard Bai Yuan suddenly bring up this matter, they both looked a little embarrassed.

Han Fei scratched his head.

"I did originally plan to cooperate with Tianze to fight against Ye Mu. Just as you said, Master, this may be my last chance."

"But in the end we were unsuccessful. Tianze rejected us outright. His hatred for South Korea was too deep, and it was difficult for us to win his trust."

"As you all know, Tianze went to Nanyang and started a rebellion there. From the moment he did that, cooperation became impossible. Although I want to overthrow Yemu, how is it different from Yemu if I cooperate with someone who treats human life as worthless?"

Han Fei has his own persistence. What he wants is for Korea to become better and for the lives of Korean people to become better.

And Tianze's actions obviously touched Han Fei's bottom line.

Bai Yuan wasn't too surprised after hearing this.

"Okay, I don't care about these things. After all, Tianze and the corpse-driving demon are already dead. I helped you deal with Tianze, and I didn't expect your father to give me any reward, but don't bother me."

"I know what your father is worried about. We will leave in a while. Before that, as long as your father does not do anything out of line, I am happy to live in peace."

As the saying goes, how can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?

Bai Yuan naturally understood Han Fei's real purpose of coming here.

The King of Han was timid and fearful by nature. When Bai Yuan was in Xinzheng before, he didn't seem to do anything, so the King of Han turned a blind eye and thought he was here for vacation.

But the battle last night completely frightened him. After all, the battle took place too close to King Han’s palace.

Even though he understood that the speculations of some ministers in the court today should not be taken seriously, Bai Yuan was a disciple of Tianzong after all.

Today, the relationship between Tianzong and the Qin State is well known to everyone.

It's impossible to say that he's not worried.

Han Fei nodded after hearing Bai Yuan's words.

"I understand. I will explain the situation to my father when I return and try to persuade him to withdraw these imperial guards. But you also know that I don't have much say now, so I dare not make any promises."

Bai Yuan waved his hand with a smile on his face: "It's okay, you can go back and tell him that if these people don't leave, I will be happy to go to the palace and talk to him in person!"

After hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but break out in a few drops of cold sweat.

Looking at the look on Bai Yuan's face, Han Fei knew that he wasn't just talking.

Han Fei was in no mood to stay here any longer, so he quickly said goodbye to Bai Yuan and prepared to go back to ask the King of Han to withdraw these imperial guards.

As for what he said when he came here about investigating what happened in the old palace of Zheng State last night, it is no longer important. It was just a passable excuse.

He had already guessed what happened last night.

But there are some things he cannot tell King Han.

Not long after Han Fei and Wei Zhuang left, the maid that Yun Xi sent to monitor the imperial guards outside came back to report.

"Sir, those imperial guards have retreated."

Bai Yuan smiled and nodded.

"In that case, let's do whatever needs to be done! The King of Han should behave himself from now on."

Yun Xi and the others nodded, and soon began to chatter around the boxes of jewelry, picking out their favorite items.

Seeing these girls regain their vitality and their faces filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts, Bai Yuan felt very satisfied.

Time flies.

The sun sets in the west.

After dinner, Yan Lingji suddenly came and invited Bai Yuan to go for a walk outside.

Bai Yuan readily agreed, took Yan Lingji's hand, and went out for a walk with her.

As soon as the two left, a maid hurried to the backyard to report the situation to others.

"The gentleman has left."

In the backyard, the Black and White Sisters, the Snow Girl, Yun Xi and others gathered here.

"According to the plan, we only have half an hour to set up the venue, so we have to hurry up and get ready. We must get everything done before the master comes back!"

"Yes!"

In the distance, Yan Fei and Yue Shen felt a little strange when they saw Xue Nu and others suddenly becoming busy.

But soon the black and white sisters came to find them.

"Um... Please keep everything confidential. We want to give the gentleman a surprise."

Yan Fei and Yue Shen were slightly stunned, then nodded: "We understand, we will keep this matter a secret for you."

Chapter 398 Yan Lingji: The biggest surprise tonight is me

Because of the recent events in South Korea, the people of Xinzheng are in a state of panic.

Coupled with the implementation of the curfew policy, over the past period of time, except for some special areas, there are relatively few pedestrians on most streets in Xinzheng.

But this is exactly what Bai Yuan wants.

He and Yan Lingji were wandering aimlessly on the street.

Under the bright moonlight, Bai Yuan looked at Yan Lingji's profile, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yan Lingji noticed Bai Yuan's gaze, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and there was a hint of smile in the corners of her eyes.

At this time, Yan Lingji suddenly looked around.

"I remember that this is where we first met. Now when I think back, it seems like a long time ago."

At that time, she had to find a way to get close to Bai Yuan in order to rescue Tianze, but now Tianze was killed by Bai Yuan, but Yan Lingji didn't feel any ripples in her heart. If there was any, it was because she was worried about Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan looked at the somewhat lonely and no longer bustling streets and felt a little emotional.

"Yes! When I first saw you, I felt like I was searching for you among the crowd for thousands of times, and when I turned around, I found you in the dim light. I decided at that moment that I must take you home."

When Yan Lingji heard this, she was a little surprised that Bai Yuan would say such a thing so bluntly, and her face turned slightly red.

"I knew what you were thinking at the time, but there is one thing I'm still curious about."

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took Yan Lingji's hand and squeezed it gently.

"whats the matter?"

Yan Lingji smiled and looked at Bai Yuan.

"When we first met, I asked you how you knew me, and you answered that you knew me in your previous life. At that time, I thought you were kidding me, but now I kind of believe what you said. Did we really know each other in our previous life?"

Bai Yuan didn't expect that Yan Lingji still remembered this question, so he reached out and gently stroked her cheek.

"Maybe in the last life, only I knew you, and you didn't know me, but that's not important. What's important is that in this life, you are by my side. Those illusory past and future are not like you and I holding hands at this moment, right?"

Yan Lingji's eyes lit up slightly and she nodded gently. She couldn't help but tighten the hand that was holding Bai Yuan's and no longer asked about the previous life or the next life.

She is not a person who likes to worry about gains and losses.
