The two words 'Baiyue' entered Yan Lingji's ears, and a complex look immediately appeared on Yan Lingji's face.

"So that's how it is!"

Regarding Baiyue, she had deep memories. Many years ago, it was the joint conquest of Baiyue by the State of Chu and the State of Han that brought great suffering to Baiyue, which was why her family was broken and she lost contact with her only younger brother. When she was about to be buried in the chaos of war, it was Tian Ze who saved her, took her in, and found a stranger to teach her the art of controlling fire. Although Yan Lingji knew that Tian Ze's purpose was only to use her and treat her as a tool, for her at that time, Tian Ze had given her great kindness and given her a second life.

Therefore, for Tian Ze, she could die.

What's more, her home was ruined because of the State of Chu and the State of Han, and she also "373" raised both hands in approval of Tian Ze's goal of wanting to take revenge on these two states.

That battle of Baiyue in the past lasted for a long time.

Yan Lingji followed by Tian Ze's side and once thought that she could drive away those invaders from other states. However, no one expected that the winds and clouds would change. First, Tian Ze was stripped of his position as Crown Prince and became a deposed prince. Later, he was defeated by Bai Yifei and subsequently became a death row prisoner, imprisoned for many years.

Those assassins who followed by Tian Ze's side either died or became captives and prisoners.

She was the latter, secretly imprisoned by others for many years.

Until the Marquis of Blood returned, and in order to realize certain ambitions, he secretly released them.

After coming out of the death row, although her master Tian Ze was restricted by the Gu of the Marquis of Blood Bai Yifei, neither Tian Ze nor they took the Gu insects to heart, only thinking about taking revenge on all their enemies.

It was also at this time, in order to give the King of Han a warning and give the King of Han fear.

She broke into the Wang Gong.

Even Yan Lingji did not expect that her act of breaking into the Han Wang Gong would indirectly change the rest of her life.

She met Su Xuan.

In front of the powerful Su Xuan, she was captured in just a few moves. Later, she was sent to Su Xuan by the King of Han. Upon first meeting Su Xuan, she had no good feelings for Su Xuan, and facing the bet proposed by Su Xuan, she also firmly believed that Tian Ze could defeat Su Xuan.

Later, Tian Ze did indeed come, but in front of Su Xuan, it was only a matter of one punch.

In one move, Tian Ze was defeated.

In order for Tian Ze to survive, she had to agree to Su Xuan's bet at that time to trade for a way for Tian Ze to live.

Later, her master also changed from Tian Ze to Su Xuan.

And the matter that truly made her return her heart to Su Xuan.

Was still Su Xuan killing Bai Yifei, Ji Wuye, and others, and even gifting her the famous sword of the King of Yue, Black and White Xuan Jian.

Later, she followed Su Xuan from the State of Han to the Qin Guo and experienced many things.

Thinking about it now, she only felt that she was somewhat naive and ridiculous back then, and at the same time, she could not help but feel a little fortunate, fortunate to have met Su Xuan.

Today, Su Xuan mentioned "Baiyue" in front of Yan Lingji again, immediately evoking those past events of Yan Lingji.

"What do you want me to stay behind for?"

Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan.

No matter what meaning the Baiyue of the past had for her, she had after all left Baiyue for many years. Now, she was a genuine person of the Qin Guo, and what happened to Baiyue had nothing to do with her. And even if she really had some obsession with Baiyue, since Su Xuan had said such words, she naturally had to help Su Xuan.

Although she said so, in her heart, she still had some regrets about not being able to follow Su Xuan to sea to find immortals together.

"Help the Qin Guo conquer Baiyue!"

Su Xuan stated his request.

"You are from Baiyue and have followed by the side of the deposed Baiyue Crown Prince Tian Ze for many years, so you are extremely familiar with the environment of Baiyue."

"States like Baiyue, in terms of national power and military strength alone, are obviously no match for the Qin Guo, but the environment there is complex, surrounded by forests and wilderness, filled with layers of poisonous miasmas. Because the people of Baiyue are extremely familiar with the geographical environment, if they adapt to local conditions and hide in the mountains and forests to ambush the Qin army, I am afraid it will bring great trouble to the Qin army, thereby delaying the pace of the Qin Guo's conquest of Baiyue!"

"Therefore, I need a guide who is exceptionally familiar with the land of Baiyue."

"Thinking it over, you are the most suitable person!"

In the past, the State of Han and the State of Chu had launched a conquest against Baiyue. Although they achieved victory in the war, that victory did not come easily. Although because of the criminal record of these two states, the Qin Guo also had some understanding of the land of Baiyue, it was still not completely familiar.

If it comes to familiarity with Baiyue, who can compare to Yan Lingji, this native Baiyue person!

After Yan Lingji heard these words from Su Xuan, she immediately knew Su Xuan's purpose for letting her stay behind.

She pouted and said: "Although I am unhappy that I have no way to take a boat out to sea with you because of the Qin Guo's conquest of Baiyue, but since this is your request, I can only reluctantly agree to you!"

Su Xuan looked at Yan Lingji's arrogant appearance and said softly: "Thank you!"

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Su Xuan, "No need to thank me, who told me that in this life, I fell into your hands, destined to be manipulated by you!"
