Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Inside the side hall of the Yu Que Tai Bu Si, Yuan Shuai Hua's projection hovered clearly above the main seat, arms crossed, yet her eyes concealed a few traces of contemplation.

She quietly watched the dispute between the master and disciple below, never once speaking.

"Master, the divination signs of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou are abnormal — ice altar frost ground, jade shattered sharp blades, Tian Ji Bu Rong, this is an omen of extreme misfortune!"

Yao Guang's beautiful face was full of urgency, her tone firm beyond question:

"These signs clearly point to the former Luo Fu Sword Champion Jing Liu; she is preparing to come to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

We do not know what news Jing Liu will bring to Xuan Ge, nor do we know what variables her arrival will trigger.

But I must stop her!

This is the key clue to Xuan Ge's death calamity, and this matter concerns Abundance, relates to the safety of Shen Wei — how can I not go!?"

Hearing Yao Guang's words, Jing Tian's face flashed a trace of helplessness, his eyes full of complexity.

He looked at the disciple before him, face full of urgency, tone firm, and pondered silently in his heart:

This "Tian" in "Tian Ji Bu Rong" — could it possibly be referring to you yourself.....

But Jing Tian did not voice this speculation, did not rebut Yao Guang's insistence.

He knew clearly in his heart that, according to the signs shown, Xuan Ge's death calamity was indeed tightly linked to the two words "Abundance".

And right now, the third Abundance Civil War is at its most intense phase; this "Abundance" calamity has already quietly descended.

Jing Tian raised his eyes, looking expressionlessly at Yuan Shuai Hua on the main seat, seeing her expression still the same.

Jing Tian pondered; perhaps Yuan Shuai has tacitly accepted Yao Guang's decision to go to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

After all, Yuan Shuai also knows the karmic entanglement between Xuan Ge and Yao Guang.

Seeing Master Jing Tian fall silent, Yao Guang's heart relaxed slightly; she knew her master had already softened. She then slowed her tone, a trace of gentleness and determination flashing in her eyes, and continued:

"Master, you know that Xuan Ge once resolved my Tong Shi Cuo Wei suffering for me, risking his own body to be entangled with inescapable extreme ominous qi.

He perhaps does not care about these dangers, does not care about his own safety, but I care!

I cannot watch helplessly as he falls into a death calamity!"

As her words fell, past memories surged into Yao Guang's mind like a tide; those bits and pieces of her encounters with Xuan Ge surfaced clearly before her eyes.

Her first meeting with Xuan Ge was when the Shen Wu Xian Zhou had just set sail; at that time, the Heavenly Generals gathered, preparing to convene the Heavenly Generals Conference.

At that time she was in Xu Ling, preparing to attend this important conference concerning the future of the Xianzhou Alliance, but a sudden Tong Shi Cuo Wei caused her to instantly lose spatial perception.

By the time she reacted, she had already appeared inside a room furnished simply yet imposingly, and inside the room, Xuan Ge was just shedding his usual clothes, preparing to change into a brand-new General's uniform.

It was an encounter she had never anticipated, without any warning, without any defense, completely beyond the scope of her divination, leaving her momentarily at a loss.

At that time Xuan Ge was in the middle of changing; his trousers had just been pulled halfway up when he suddenly saw a woman appear out of thin air in his room, and his whole person instantly froze.

Xuan Ge: Σ(°ロ°)

"Holy shit, who are you?"

Xuan Ge was startled into a full-body shiver; his grip loosened, his trousers nearly slipped off, and he hurriedly pressed them down, his expression both embarrassed and flustered.

The maid outside heard the commotion, thought something had happened, and hurriedly pushed the door open and entered; but when she saw the scene inside the room, she also instantly froze:

On one side, the Shen Wei General with clothes in disarray and an embarrassed expression; on the other, Yao Guang standing in place, her expression likewise somewhat flustered.

The maid's eyes flashed a trace of curiosity; she secretly glanced at Xuan Ge's untidy clothes, then quickly glanced at Xuan Ge's upper body....

The maid immediately lowered her head, tone respectful: "General, do you need me to help you dress?"

"No need, no need, I'll do it myself." Xuan Ge hurriedly waved his hand, his tone somewhat unnatural.

Seeing this, the maid dared not speak further, hurriedly bowed and withdrew, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her, leaving this awkward atmosphere completely inside the room.

After the maid withdrew, Yao Guang also gradually calmed down; she subconsciously glanced at Xuan Ge's bare upper body.

Her eartips instantly flushed faintly red; she hurriedly averted her gaze, feigning composure as she coquettishly rebuked:

"Heh~ Shen Wei General, as a dignified Xianzhou General, a great manly hero, how can you strike such a little-girl pose?

This Seat is Yu Que Yao Guang; you don't recognize me?"

Xuan Ge quickly pulled up his trousers while raising his eyes to look at Yao Guang; seeing her feigning composure yet with a few traces of shyness hidden in her eyes, he couldn't help but tease.

He simply no longer rushed to put on his clothes, his upper body bare, raising an eyebrow as he said: "Heh~ Still 'This Seat'? Zhen....."

"Hey hey~ Shen Wei General, you must not lose propriety!"

Yao Guang hurriedly cut off his words, her tone carrying a few traces of reminder.

Finished speaking, she slightly turned her face, pondering silently in her heart: The Shen Wei General is this open and aboveboard; what do I have to be shy about?

Thinking thus, she took a deep breath, turned around, and faced Xuan Ge directly.

But when she once again saw Xuan Ge's perfect physique and handsome countenance, in the end she still couldn't help but slightly side-glance, looking elsewhere, feigning composure as she gave a light cough:

"Hmph~ Still want to call yourself Zhen? If this matter were known by Yuan Shuai, guess what she would do?"

"Get beaten, what else?" Xuan Ge waved his hand unconcernedly, tone casual, clearly long accustomed to Yuan Shuai Hua's "punishments".

He no longer joked with Yao Guang, quickly picked up the General's uniform at the side, put it on, and swiftly tidied his robes.

But in excessive haste, the collar's belt was still somewhat loose, the lapel also slightly askew; these minute oversights were all caught by the sharp-eyed Yao Guang.

Xuan Ge finished tidying, gave a deep look at Yao Guang who still carried a few traces of shyness, then turned and walked to the doorway, stopped his steps, turned back and said a sentence:

"Peeping woman, Xuan goes ahead first; the Heavenly Generals Conference cannot be late."

Finished speaking, he straightaway pushed the door and left, leaving Yao Guang alone standing in the room; she bit her lip, feigning anger as she rebuked:

"Heh~ lecher, you still have the nerve to call me a peeping woman? A Heavenly General putting on clothes is this much trouble."

When the Shen Wu Xian Zhou had just come into being, the spread of its rites and reputation took a very long time.

After all, this was a brand-new Xian Zhou come into being.

Yet at that time, everyone in the whole Huan Yu knew clearly: with the Shen Wei Xian Zhou's emergence, the Abundance abominations would suffer terribly.

But no one could have imagined that many years later, Shen Wei General Xuan Ge would not merely beat Abundance abominations — he would beat almost everyone in the entire Huan Yu.

Even the Xianzhou Alliance's "old home," he spared no mercy, sweeping all the way through, forcibly establishing the Shen Wu Xian Zhou's illustrious might.

And the true fateful encounter between her and Xuan Ge was not that awkward changing-clothes coincidence, but rather occurred during a mission she went out to execute.

At that time, through hexagram divination she calculated that on the Yu Que's route, she would collide with the Bu Li Ren.

But she was troubled by the symptoms of cotemporal dislocation, unable to lead troops on campaign.

She could only go alone, relying on her own divinatory ability, infiltrate the enemy ranks, scout the Bu Li Ren's troop deployments and action plans, providing key intelligence for the subsequent encirclement and suppression.

But just as she had penetrated deep into the enemy ranks and was about to obtain key intelligence, the Shen Wu Corps led by Xuan Ge suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Iron Cavalry galloped, spear tips like a forest, in the flash of lightning piercing metal and stone they swept clean the Bu Li Ren's nest, killing them all, not a single one left.

Xuan Ge rode Chi Dian, holding the Ya Jiao Chang Spear, reined his horse to a stop before her.

Xuan Ge used the Ya Jiao's spear tip to lightly lift the wolf-head helmet on her head used for disguise, the corner of his mouth hooking a trace of playful smile, tone teasing:

"Yo~ isn't this a peeping little girl? What, ran over here to play wolf-head, scrounge a meal?"

"You rotten..." Yao Guang felt faint electric arcs transmitted from the Ya Jiao spear tip on her face, just wanted to curse Xuan Ge roundly, complain about him teasing her regardless of occasion.

But the next second, the gaze before her eyes suddenly began to twist, change, her heart sank — she knew, the cotemporal dislocation symptoms had flared up again.

Vision growing ever blurrier, just as she was about to fall into spatial chaos, a warm and strong hand suddenly seized her wrist, steadily steadying her.

Vision gradually correcting, Yao Guang slowly recovered, clearly feeling the Chi Dian beneath her advancing steadily, the faintly cool touch of Xuan Ge's armor coming from behind.

And the faint gunpowder scent and green plum fragrance on him, for a moment she was actually somewhat dazed, subconsciously leaning into Xuan Ge's arms.

"This General just said one sentence to you, and you want to run that badly?"

Xuan Ge's voice rang by her ear, carrying a few parts teasing, but tone much gentler: "Where is the Heavenly General's dignity?"

His left hand tightly gripping Yao Guang's wrist, steadying her figure, right hand still holding the Ya Jiao Chang Spear.

Though his mouth teased, in his heart he was very clear: Yao Guang was not trying to flee, but was trapped by cotemporal dislocation, unable to control herself.

That instant's fluctuation of causal power, he had clearly perceived.

Yao Guang gradually came back to herself, did not break free of Xuan Ge's hand.

She knew, Xuan Ge right now was using his own power to help her stabilize causality, suppress the cotemporal dislocation symptoms.

She slightly turned her head, looking at the imposing Xuan Ge beside her, tone carrying a few parts teasing, also a few parts bashful:

"Shen Wei General, so many officers and soldiers watching, you holding my hand like this, aren't you afraid people outside will spread rumors about our relationship?"

"Our General isn't afraid! Hahahaha!"

Before Xuan Ge could speak, Li Chunxiao at the side single-handedly held his spear, reined in his warhorse, face and armor still stained with Bu Li Ren blood, expression heroic.

This one sentence from Li Chunxiao instantly ignited the surrounding Shen Wu Corps officers' and soldiers' enthusiasm, everyone burst into loud laughter, chattering away teasingly:

"Exactly! Our General fears neither heaven nor earth, still afraid of people spreading nonsense?"

"Better to just stay by the General's side, this Shen Wu is much better than Yu Que!"

"Right right! Going to Yu Que to marry is too troublesome, better to let the General forcibly marry her back, saves trouble!"

Sentence after sentence of teasing words entered Yao Guang's ears, her cheeks and ear roots instantly turned bright red, so bashful she wished she could find a crack in the ground to burrow into.

She had actually forgotten, the Shen Wu Corps officers and soldiers, every single one is a soldier-rascal temperament, speaking straight and blunt.

Wei Qing and Zhang Liao not far away, watching this scene before them, smiled without speaking, eyes full of laughter.

And Xuan Ge, face wearing a faint smile, did not rebut the officers' and soldiers' teasing, also did not speak.

Wholeheartedly focused on using his own power to steady Yao Guang, help her suppress the cotemporal dislocation symptoms.
