The cold wind was biting, carrying the falling snow.
General Nie felt that the oil-paper umbrella in his hand was almost blown to pieces. He cursed as he walked. When he saw the majestic and solemn vermilion door in front of him from a distance, his voice dropped.
As soon as he approached, a palace official came over to welcome him in, “General Nie, His Majesty is waiting for you in the palace.”
When General Nie heard this, he immediately quickened his pace.
Stepping into the hall, a burst of warmth hit him instantly, dissipating the coldness on his body. General Nie walked into the inner hall and saw Kan Wenxiao sitting not far away, his head lowered as he wrote something.
General Nie only glanced at it, then lowered his head and bowed slightly, and began to salute.
“Your Majesty.”
“Rise.”
Kan Wenxiao wrote seriously, and after uttering only this word, his voice fell silent. General Nie did not dare to interrupt, so he could only stand aside in silence with his head lowered, looking at the patterns on the carpet boredly.
The charcoal fire in the house was burning vigorously, and it was mixed with a faint fruity fragrance, which was so comfortable that it made people drowsy.
General Nie’s thoughts wandered further.
He was originally Yu Xinian’s confidant, but after he left, he was left with Kan Wenxiao.
Although he was not familiar with Kan Wenxiao, he trusted Yu Xinian and that the person he was loyal to would not be wrong.
This was indeed the case. Kan Wenxiao led them to unify the cultivation world and step by step until now, the revenge had been avenged, and no one dared to despise Fusang anymore.
Everything was obviously going in a good direction, but he felt that he could not understand Kan Wenxiao more and more.
Although Kan Wenxiao was a bit cold-blooded before, he still knew how to use kindness and power at the same time, but later he became crueler and more debauched.
Although no one dared to say it publicly, they were naturally dissatisfied in their hearts. General Nie felt that this could not continue.
High walls and narrow foundations could not be erected. Severe punishments and harsh laws could not last long.
But before he could give his advice, Kan Wenxiao changed again.

But now that he had been called here, what did it mean for him to not speak?
Just as he was lost in thought, Kan Wenxiao finally put down his pen, followed by a “click” sound.
General Nie quickly came to his senses and called out tentatively, “Your Majesty.”
“Mn.” Kan Wenxiao replied absently, looking at the rice paper on the table.
“You summoned me, what for?”
When Kan Wenxiao heard this, he leaned back on the chair and rested his forehead on his right hand, his gaze distant.
“Are Yu Shaozhi and the others still locked up?”
“Yes, they are all bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, in the dungeon.”
“Yeah.” Kan Wenxiao’s voice was calm and he continued, “Let them go.”
“Yes…huh? Your Majesty? Let them go?”
As soon as General Nie responded subconsciously, he realized something was wrong and his voice changed tone.
Kan Wenxiao looked a little tired, as if he was too tired to say another word.
“Mn.”
When General Nie heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, think twice, although the situation has been decided, not everyone is willing to submit. The people in the dungeon are all the elders of the top eight sects. Their remaining power is not exhausted. If we let them go like this, it won’t shake the foundation, but we don’t know whether it will cause turmoil!”
After saying that, he leaned over and knocked his head heavily on the ground.
Kan Wenxiao seemed to be pondering over his words, and the room descended into silence for a while. Only the charcoal fire burned vigorously and occasionally made a crackling sound.
General Nie did not raise his head, nor could he see Kan Wenxiao’s expression. He only felt his heart hanging high, stubbornly waiting for him to take back his orders.
But what he heard instead was, “General Nie, do as you are told.”
General Nie opened and closed his lips, but looking at Kan Wenxiao’s expression, he had to swallow his words. He lowered his head helplessly, with suppressed dissatisfaction in his tone.
“Yes.”
–
Winter nights always came very early, and there was nothing to do. Jian Xiuyun added another flower to the picture of Ninety-Nine Cold Relief that he had been painting for a long time, and then fell asleep contentedly.
Therefore, he did not notice that a figure was reflected diagonally outside the vermilion sill window.
Kan Wenxiao had been standing there for a long time.
He obviously wanted to see him so much that it drove him crazy, but he couldn’t get even one step closer.
Jian Xiuyun was right, there was indeed too much between them.
He knew that Jian Xiuyun was cold-hearted, and he had thought that after his great revenge was avenged, he would send him to Xuyu Peak, and then explain to him slowly, and eventually get him to forgive him.
But everything happened in a direction beyond his control.
Until he couldn’t take it anymore.
He could forgive Jian Xiuyun for his false intentions towards him, as long as he was willing to give him sincerity from now on.
But he didn’t know how to forgive himself for treating him like that in his previous life.
It was hard for him to accept what he heard, not to mention that it was Jian Xiuyun’s personal experience. How could he let go of his grudge?
Difficulties were everywhere.
Kan Wenxiao raised his fingertips and lightly swiped across the window. The person he liked was lying inside. He couldn’t see him, nor could he get close.
That was all.
Kan Wenxiao turned around, slowly opened his umbrella and prepared to leave.
Anyway, he was always losing in this life. He had nothing in the first place.
If he was destined to not get it, why bother forcing it?
He suddenly seemed to understand Yu Xinian.
But he couldn’t leave as gracefully as he did.
His feet stepped on the edge of the steps and he was about to go down when he suddenly heard the sound of slight footsteps.
Kan Wenxiao took back his umbrella and turned to look to the right.
He saw a long sword stabbing straight at him, the sword reflecting the color of snow and glinting coldly.
Kan Wenxiao focused his attention to see the person in front of him clearly, and was stunned for a moment. He retracted his hand holding the sword, and casually raised his hand to block his attack with his umbrella.
Although neither of them made a sound, Jian Xiuyun was still awakened by the sound of the swords colliding.
He sat up and looked out the window strangely.
Only two entangled figures could be seen.
Jian Xiuyun frowned slightly, put on his clothes, picked Qinghan Sword and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the two people in the corridor.
One of them was Kan Wenxiao, and the other Jian Xiuyun had to look at for a long time before he recognized that person was Lin Liaoting.
“Liaoting?!” Jian Xiuyun said in surprise. He thought of the corpse in the cage that day, and then he realized it was not him that day. Kan Wenxiao had not hurt his life.
Jian Xiuyun was pleasantly surprised. He tightly grabbed the side of his robes with his right hand and stepped forward to pass.
Then he saw Lin Liaoting lift the umbrella in Kan Wenxiao’s hand, and the sword passed straight through his body.
Jian Xiuyun’s pupils dilated instantly and he froze in place. The Qinghan Sword in his hand was not held firmly and fell to the ground with a clang, making a crisp sound.
