　　Rong Xiu suddenly stopped his actions. His brows moved undetectably as he looked at Chu Liuyue in his arms and slowly asked, “What… did you just say?”

　　Chu Liuyue was also dazed. Qing Yun Ranking… What’s that? Why would I suddenly say that? It’s as if… I said the same words before.

　　“I-I don’t know either…” muttered Chu Liuyue, but she instantly knitted her brows and kept searching through her memories. However, she couldn’t remember anything.

　　Rong Xiu stared at her face closely. His uneasy heart relaxed a little when he saw the faint layer of confusion in her eyes.

　　He silently turned his gaze away, looked down, and hid the emotions in his eyes. “I’ll send you back first.”

　　Chu Liuyue dazedly nodded as she hugged Rong Xiu’s neck and leaned against his shoulders, but she kept thinking about the previous incident. Qing Yun Ranking… I said that I would definitely overtake Rong Xiu on the Qing Yun Ranking?

　　“Rong Xiu.” She suddenly spoke and glanced at Rong Xiu. “Have you heard of the Qing Yun Ranking…?”

　　The man shook his head, and the remaining light shone on his smooth and perfect side view, which was also very charming. However, he didn’t say anything.

　　Chu Liuyue was confused. Rong Xiu means that he doesn’t know, but why did I suddenly say such a thing to him? Is this related to the memory I lost?

　　Chu Liuyue was deep in thought and planned to find another chance to think carefully about it after she went back.

　　Rong Xiu carried her and walked back.

　　Luckily, all the palace maids were purged after Chu Liuyue came back, so there weren’t many people serving in Shaoyue Palace. In addition, the training arena was a more private place in Shaoyue Palace, so she could directly return to her bedroom from there.

　　Due to this, they didn’t meet many people on the way as Rong Xiu directly carried her back.

　　“Yue’er—” He had just called her when he suddenly felt that the person in his arms was very quiet.

　　He looked down and saw that the woman in his arms was leaning against his shoulders with her eyes closed and that her breathing was uniform as if she had fallen asleep.

　　Rong Xiu laughed and felt his head ache. She must’ve been too tired from the training, but it also proves that she feels secure enough to rapidly fall asleep in my arms.

　　This comforted Rong Xiu.

　　He carefully placed her on the bed, wiped her sweat, and covered her with a thin blanket.

　　Rong Xiu’s eyes gradually gained a tinge of gentleness as he watched her peacefully sleeping. In the past, even though she was also very tired during this kind of time, it was very rare for her to sleep directly. This time, the revenge in Xi Ling must’ve used up much of her energy and mental power. It’s good that she can rest now.

　　Rong Xiu held her wrist, and a pure and warm force was gradually inserted into her body.

　　Chu Liuyue dreamed of something as she muttered softly.

　　Rong Xiu heard her mutters, which were faintly related to the Qing Yun Ranking.

　　He knitted his brows slightly. Since she has yet to break through to become a stage-seven warrior, she shouldn’t be able to think about this because that thing in her body is still sealed perfectly. However, it seems like she is much faster than I had predicted.

　　With the nurturing of Rong Xiu’s force, Chu Liuyue’s brows gradually relaxed, and she fell asleep peacefully.

　　Rong Xiu stood at his spot quietly and glanced at Tuan Zi, who appeared at some point. “Take good care of her.”

　　Tuan Zi nodded sensibly for once.

　　Rong Xiu then turned and left.

　　Xue Xue followed him closely.

　　…

　　After walking out of Shaoyue Palace, Rong Xiu looked up in a certain direction. If I don’t recall wrongly, Huayang Palace should be there. That is also where Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng are locked up.

　　Rong Xiu thought for a while and still changed his direction to leave the palace.

　　…

　　Chu Liuyue had a very long and messy dream. In the dream, she seemed to be competing with someone to be the champion of the Qing Yun Ranking.

　　The other party’s face and figure were very blurred, but his abilities were extremely strong.

　　She failed at every battle and tried again to no avail.

　　Amongst the many competitions, some were very quiet, and others were very noisy in the surroundings as if there were many people spectating and cheering.

　　She wanted to take in the other party’s face carefully, but she couldn’t do so.

　　After some time, even she didn’t know how many times she had competed.

　　After another competition, she finally won.

　　She was very happy, and that person opposite her also seemed to be elated. Someone shouted from the surroundings, and she vaguely heard that it was ‘Yue.’

　　The person opposite suddenly took a step forward. It was as if he ran through a layer of mist, and his figure gradually turned clearer.

　　It was a black-robed young man with a jade belt at his waist. The outfit easily outlined his broad shoulders and skinny waist.

　　He seemed to be saying something to her.

　　The surroundings fell silent. Thunderous applause and cheers were then heard, and it was lively!

　　And his face gradually appeared…

　　“Hu…” Chu Liuyue’s eyes flew open!

　　She broke out into a cold sweat, and her heart kept beating wildly, causing her ears to turn numb. She adjusted herself for some time before realizing that it was a dream.

　　Tuan Zi flew over and intimately rubbed against her cheeks.

　　Chu Liuyue hugged Tuan Zi into her arms, and her heart gradually calmed down.

　　After she woke up, she quickly forgot everything about the dream. That man’s figure seemed to be very familiar, but she still didn’t clearly see that face in the end.

　　A ridiculous thought surfaced in her heart. I actually vaguely felt that the man competing with me in my dreams seemed to be the one from the octagonal pavilion on the cliff! Also, he is very similar to Master!

　　…

　　The night sky fell.

　　Hundred Herbs Building was already closed, and Yue Ling was checking the merchandise on the third floor. Suddenly, he heard something.

　　He turned around and was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out.

　　“Master!” He hurriedly greeted the man. “Master, why are you—”

　　Rong Xiu waved his hands. “I just came here to take something.”

　　Yue Ling heaved a slight sigh of relief. Only the heavens know what I felt to see Master standing there once I turned around.

　　“Yes!”

　　Yue Ling hurriedly acknowledged the words as he watched Rong Xiu walk in, still feeling very shocked. Master is now known all over Xi Ling. Who doesn’t know that the new emperor has a fiancé that managed to win against Zhao Zicheng even though he was born in Country Yao Chen?

　　“Are you… buying for Madam?” Yue Ling followed him and asked carefully. Actually, he was also stunned when he found out that Chu Liuyue was actually Shangguan Yue. I was wondering why Master returned to Country Yao Chen again… So it was because of this!

　　Rong Xiu nodded and walked to an unassuming rack.

　　A fist-sized and unassuming green gem box was placed there. Perhaps it hadn’t been touched in a while, so there was a thin layer of dust on it.

　　Rong Xiu didn’t seem to care as he took it.

　　Yue Ling was slightly stunned. So Master came to take this!
