"Me? How can I protect her when I'm already in this state?"

Xu Chen shrugged, pretending to be helpless, and said, "I'm being robbed by you all now, who can I protect?"

"She wants to see you."

Yan Lengyan stated the most crucial reason.

It may not be about protection, but the Empress wants to see him.

This is the most important.

The empress wanted to see Xu Chen all the time.

Yan Lengyan is just the empress's best friend, and he is here to help her fulfill her wish.

When she saw Xu Chen again, she felt an indescribable complex emotion.

Back then, Xu Chen asked her to protect the empress and he would be back soon.

This "soon" actually means three hundred years later.

You really can't believe a single word he says.

"I will see her, but not now."

Of course Xu Chen also wanted to meet the empress and see how the crybaby was doing now.

After he woke up from the coffin, he also learned a lot of rumors about the empress. The current empress gave people the impression that she was not much better than Xia Rushuang.

Many problems are solved by killing.

It seems a bit extreme.

He also wanted to see if the crybaby was as cold and heartless as the rumors said.

But, it's just like what he said now.

not now.

If he goes there now, he will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and there will be no way out.

Once he enters the palace, will the empress give him a chance to get out?

The answer is obvious.

Besides, there are many problems.

If he was trapped by the empress, other Taoist companions would also go to the palace to snatch him away.

If something like this happens, the dignity of the royal family will be wiped out.

The palace is not a place where you can come and go as you please.

His fellow Taoists have fought many battles, but no one has died.

But in the palace, if the empress does not execute anyone who breaks into the palace.

That's trouble.

No matter what, as long as it happens in the palace, it cannot be as simple as a battle.

That will determine life or death.

"It's troublesome."

Yan Lengyan was about to say something else when he felt a powerful breath.

That breath did not come from Ji Yiyan.

Ji Yiyan hasn't summoned the gods yet.

This majestic aura came from a blood-red figure.

Summer is like frost.

Yan Lengyan sighed and said, "It seems I shouldn't reminisce with you."

Following Yan Lengyan's gaze, Xu Chen saw the figure he wanted to avoid at all costs.

It's really over now.

214. The Empress Comes Herself

Summer is like frost.

This name appeared in Xu Chen's mind again.

He finally escaped from Xia Rushuang. He had planned that escape for several months and it was extremely difficult.

I didn't expect to see you again so soon.

This is trouble.

His current identity has naturally been exposed.

As long as he chooses to leave Xia Rushuang, his identity will be exposed.

Xia Rushuang wasn't so stupid as to not be able to confirm his identity even after he left.

To escape is to feel guilty.

If he really wasn't Xu Chen, how could he possibly escape?

This is the most basic logic.

Even though he was a man who could lie without blushing, he had no way of changing the facts into another version, and he could not find a reason to explain it.

In other words, Xia Rushuang was very likely preparing to kill him.

"Long time no see, Zhao Chen."

Xia Rushuang did not greet Yan Lengyan immediately, but instead set her sights on Xu Chen, deliberately emphasizing the words "Zhao Chen".

Die, die, die.

If there was one person Xu Chen least wanted to see right now, it would be Xia Rushuang.

He always believed that Xia Rushuang had the possibility of killing him.

Just let it go if you are caught by other Taoist companions.

If caught by Xia Rushuang, it could mean death.

“Hello, Master…”

Xu Chen responded somewhat awkwardly, still using the title he used before in Xuyun Sword Sect.

"Still Master?"

Xia Rushuang snorted coldly and said, "I should be the one calling you Master."

"How could that be... I didn't teach you..."

"Xu Chen, can we stop this clumsy conversation?"

Xia Rushuang didn't seem to be ready to play house with Xu Chen anymore and said, "Of course, if you like playing house, that's fine."

Xu Chen knew that the matter had been exposed, and there was no need to do anything further that might disgust Xia Rushuang. He said, "Let's do it again. Long time no see, Rushuang."

This name brought Xia Rushuang back to three hundred years ago.

How long has it been since she heard Xu Chen call her like that?

Of course, Xu Chen called him "disciple" at the beginning, but later he changed it to this title.

I didn't expect to hear this name again today, and Xia Rushuang's usually indifferent face showed a little more emotion.

"Well, long time no see, Master."

Xia Rushuang did not use any overly intimate terms. She addressed Xu Chen as she had done most of the time three hundred years ago.

When he was in Xuyun Sword Sect, he completely turned against Tiangang.

Like Yan Lengyan, Xia Rushuang is Xu Chen's apprentice, and many of her sword moves were taught by Xu Chen.

So she was very worried about Xu Chen's recovery of his strength.

If Xu Chen recovered his strength, he could easily break her moves.

In addition, Xu Chen himself is a very dangerous existence.

Xia Rushuang had been with Xu Chen for so many years, so she naturally understood how frustrating and terrifying it was to be Xu Chen's enemy.

"Isn't it a bit too much for Master Xia Jian to chat so cheerfully with my husband in front of me and my daughters?"

Ji Yiyan interrupted at this time. She seemed to have recovered a lot during the conversation just now. At least her face had some color and was no longer so pale.

"daughter?"

Xia Rushuang didn't know Ji Yiyan's true identity, but she felt uncomfortable with some of the words in the conversation.

She thought Ji Yiyan was Xu Yunyan from the martial arts performance. After all, she had only met her a few times, and Ji Yiyan looked exactly like Xu Yunyan.

Seeing them doesn't mean knowing their identities. The Faceless Organization is a mystery to itself.

To describe it with the words Xu Chen often said three hundred years ago, he is a riddle man.

"Yes, these are my daughters."

There was love in Ji Yiyan's eyes, and there was also a sense of showing off, as if saying "Do you have it?"

"Mother and Father are a match made in heaven, you can't separate them!"

Xu Qishi made some rather naive remarks. Perhaps even she herself did not realize that she was just a puppet?

If she knew, it would be even more terrifying if she could still make such an innocent statement.

Xu Chen didn’t know what these dolls felt exactly, or whether they knew that they were created by Ji Yiyan.

Yan Lengyan remained silent and did not speak. Perhaps she was constantly thinking in her mind how to deal with the sword master of Xuyun Sword Sect.

Even she was not completely sure of defeating the woman who had once turned the Xuyun Sword Sect into a sea of blood.

"You have a daughter?"

Xia Rushuang ignored Ji Yiyan and asked Xu Chen who was in the center of the vortex.

Because she knew that asking Ji Yiyan was useless, asking Xu Chen would be more effective.

"Of course not, but maybe my genes are in it."

No one would understand what Xu Chen said. Who would understand if you talked about genes with someone from the fairy world?

But he knew Xia Rushuang understood.

Many of his fellow Taoists understood the words from their previous lives, and the reason was quite simple, as Xu Chen liked to say.

Because he is too bored, Xu Chen likes to talk about all kinds of things and do things that he thinks are interesting. This is why he has countless identities.

"Then I might want to kill him."

Xia Rushuang suddenly sent out a danger signal, which was a bit scary.

"My husband wouldn't let you do that, would he?"

Perhaps to deliberately anger Xia Rushuang, Ji Yiyan looked at Xu Chen and threw him a coquettish glance.

This charming look could charm thousands of men, but unfortunately at this moment, Xu Chen did not feel the slightest bit of emotion, only palpitations.

Xu Chen felt somewhat helpless about Ji Yiyan's approaching him, and said, "Rushuang, I ran away because I was afraid of being killed by you. I hope you can understand me."

"Am I so scary in your eyes?"

Hearing this question, Xu Chen wanted to laugh.

No, it might be even scarier.

"After all, Rushuang, you've already erected a monument for me, so it's normal for me to be a little scared."

"I won't kill you, you can rest assured."

After Xu Chen left, Xia Rushuang realized what she wanted to do.

Just like when a coin is flipped up, you will know what you want.
