Xie Rongjin thought for a long time, but he didn't think of a reason to come out. When he regained his senses, the man in white had disappeared.
"What a freak."
Xie Rongjin muttered, and walked near the snake head that fell on the ground. The wound was smooth as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade. What he saw just now was a touch of green. Xie Rongjin searched all around, but there was no suspected green hidden weapon.
"This is?"
Suddenly, Xie Rongjin's eyes fell on the tree trunk not far from the snake's head. He walked to the tree trunk in two steps and squatted down to check. A dark green camphor leaf was half inserted into the tree trunk, and half was exposed outside with the wind. Shake slightly.
Xie Rongjin carefully stretched out his fingers to touch the leaves, and the leaves bent slightly downward with his strength.
It's real leaves.
"I've only seen in books that picking leaves from flying flowers can hurt people, but I didn't expect there to be such a superb kung fu in the world." Xie Rongjin carefully took out the camphor leaves and marveled.
Carefully put the leaves into the purse on his body, Xie Rongjin was about to leave, but the broken snake head jumped up suddenly, Xie Rongjin stepped back reflexively to avoid the attack of the snake head.
The snake's head fell to the ground, and there was no more movement.
After a stalemate for a while, Xie Rongjin broke off a long branch from the side and poked the snake's head, but the snake's head didn't respond.
Xie Rongjin heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered the sentence that the black-faced man said earlier that snake meat stewed soup is very nourishing.
He stole other people's clothes, so he should give them compensation.
Thinking of this, Xie Rongjin picked up the black snake's body with a branch, and hung it on the place where the clothes were drying.
"In this way, you can see him at a glance when he comes back." Xie Rongjin clapped his hands contentedly and left.
Not long after he left, several children chased and got under the clothes drying pole, accidentally knocked down the clothes drying pole, and the body of the black snake fell on one of the children with the clothes drying pole.
"There's a snake!" A group of children ran away with a loud wow, leaving only the child with the clothes pole hanging on his body and the body of the black snake standing there, crying out with a wow.
"Auntie! A snake bit me—"
Xie Rongjin walked around outside the stockade, and when night approached, he sent a signal to summon the guards to meet in the mountains.
"How about it, Ah Da Er Er, have you found anything?"
The two guards were silent for a moment, and Ah Da said: "I found out that the predecessor of Wushuang Village was called Yunhu Village, and the current second master is the former owner of Yunhu Village. They did kidnap people more than ten years ago, but That person...has long ago..."
Ah Da lowered his head, unable to bear to speak any more.
"Perhaps, he wasn't the one who was taken captive from Yunhu Village back then."
"Impossible." Xie Rongjin categorically denied, "Do you still remember the dungeon they locked us in? There were words carved on the wall, which were clearly my father's handwriting."
"So, my father must have been caught in this Yunhu village, and was imprisoned in that dungeon for a period of time, because the writing on the wall seems to be recording the number of days."
Xie Rongjin said with a solemn face, "So, the person who was arrested more than ten years ago must be my father—"
Xie Rongjin couldn't continue speaking, and clenched his hands into fists.
"In any case, if you want to see people alive or dead, I don't believe there will be no clues at all."
"Then we can only start with the second and third masters." Ah Er's eyes were firm, "But there must be someone following them, I'm afraid it's not easy to do it."
"There is always a time when orders are placed." Xie Rongjin said, "It's getting late, first find a place to rest for the night."
Ah Da frowned, "Young master, don't you think it's a little strange? We have been running out of the dungeon for so long, but no one came out to search?"
"There are too many weird people in this village." Xie Rongjin thought of the man wearing the silver butterfly wing mask, "By the way, when you inquired, did you hear about Mr. Silver Face?"
"Mr. Silver Face!" The expressions of the two guards suddenly became serious, "Young Master, have you bumped into him?"
"Yes." Xie Rongjin nodded, and told what happened after he left. "I heard the black-faced man call him Mr. Silver-faced, so I wrote it down."
"The reason why this Yunhu village can expand to its current scale is all due to the plan of Mr. Yinmian. When people in the village mention him, they all say that he is extraordinary in martial arts. If I had known that young master, you were so reckless, Ah Er and I would have nothing to do." I shouldn't have left your side!" Ah Da sighed deeply, full of regret.
"He didn't do anything to me, he even saved me." Xie Rongjin emphasized, "Maybe he didn't realize that I'm not from this village."
"This subordinate still thinks it's better to leave as soon as possible." Ah Er also said, "The young master has a high status, and it's not appropriate to stay in this kind of place for too long. If something happens to you, what will the girl do in the future? You think for her think."
"That's right, the girl hasn't agreed with others yet. If something happens to you, young master, and the girl has no one to rely on, then it must be... To tell the truth, young master, I have heard several rumors that the acting head's wife intends to let her natal nephew come here The Xie family is asking to marry, but you have to think about it, our girl is a distinguished direct descendant of the Xie family, how can she marry that kind of villain?"
Thinking of his sister, Xie Rongjin showed some hesitation on his face, "I won't stay for too long. If there is still no clue within three days, we will leave."
Ada and Ada had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's find a place to rest now. When Ah Er and I came over, we had already chosen our target. The young master will follow us."
Xie Rongjin followed the two of them and walked to a wooden house. The three of them sneaked into the wooden house. The bronze-skinned young man who was about to blow out the candle saw the shadow on the ground and turned around in shock: "Who are you—— "
Ah Da raised his hand, knocked the young man unconscious with a knife in his hand, and put him on the chair.
The wooden house is not spacious, there is a bamboo chair, a table, four stools, and a simple wooden bed for only one person to lie down on.
"The young master rests at ease, Ah'er and I take turns guarding."
Xie Rongjin nodded, closed his clothes and fell asleep.
The rooster crowed at dawn, and the young man who had slept on the bamboo chair all night woke up frowning, while rubbing the sore back of his neck.
"Strange, why does my neck hurt so much..."
The young man's hands froze because he saw the three people who were about to go out.
The young man's eyes widened. He remembered that when he was about to sleep last night, he was knocked out.
Ah Da frowned, "Young master, he's awake...do you want to..."
Ah Da made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Hero!" The bronze-skinned young man fell to the ground with a plop, "I am just an ordinary farmer, please let me go, I will never go out and talk nonsense."
"Don't be afraid." Xie Rongjin stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground. "We won't do anything to you. We just got lost and entered here by mistake. We didn't find the way out, so we just wanted to find a place to stay overnight."
"Lost? You also got lost?" The young man was stunned, and then showed an expression as if he saw a confidant. "I also lost my way and got caught by the patrolling guards. After they interrogated me, they released me, but I had nowhere to go, so I just settled here."
"You didn't meet the patrolling guards, did you?"
Xie Rongjin shook his head, "It might be dark, and I didn't see any patrols."
"If you want to go out, just register at the information office, and they will send you out. Although our village has a bad reputation, we don't rob people now."
"Where's the guard?" Xie Rongjin's eyes flashed, he naturally wouldn't believe the words of the man in front of him, it was full of loopholes just because he didn't arrest him.
The young man scratched his head, "Why don't I take you there, anyway, today is a rest day and there is no work?"
"Alright." Ah Da agreed, if something really happened and there were hostages in hand, maybe it would be better.
"Then you come with me." The young man showed a pure smile, "By the way, my name is Lin Hu, you can call me Hu Zi."
He opened the door and walked out, Xie Rongjin and the others followed behind him without any hurry.
"Look, go through this mountain road, and then you will arrive at the small market in our village. The other side of the market is the information place I told you about."
Several people talked, walked out of the mountain path, and the destination was a large square. There were stalls in the square, and some were sold directly on the ground. It seemed to be the market in Lin Hu's mouth.
Xie Rongjin looked at some of the things for sale, most of which were fabrics or pheasants and rabbits, and occasionally there were food like sugar figurines on skewers or some weird toys.
Lin Hu seemed to be very familiar with these stall owners, and kept saying hello all the way.
"Hey, Huzi!" A man selling straw mats beckoned, and Lin Hu walked over, "What's wrong?"
"Have you heard that there was a man with a sick head in our village yesterday. He stole other people's clothes first, and even used poisonous snakes to scare the children. That child of the Zhang family cried so hard."
"Scaring children with poisonous snakes?" Lin Hu frowned, "Who is so wicked? Didn't Zhang's baby get bitten?"
Xie Rongjin's body froze, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
"It didn't bite. The snake didn't even have a head. It's just scary. Zhangjiawa's mother feels sorry for her. She's making a fuss at the patrol. She wants the patrol to catch that prankster."
Realized that the wicked ghost was talking about his own Xie Rongjin: "..."
"Lin Hu!" With a loud bang, a woman rushed in front of Lin Hu.
"The patrol department said that yesterday our area was guarded by you and Housi's patrol team. Tell me, you saw someone bring a dead snake to Zhuangzi's house yesterday!"
"I didn't see it either, why don't you ask Monkey Four, I still have something to do—"
"No, if you don't give me an explanation today, you can't leave!" The woman refused to let go, "My Zhang family is just such a child, I can't be bullied like this!"
"This...I..." Lin Hu looked helplessly at Xie Rongjin and the others, "The information office is just ahead, you—"
"Since Brother Lin has something to do, then we can go there by ourselves." Xie Rongjin said, then cupped his hands in a salute, and walked towards the direction Lin Hu pointed.
The noise of the market went away, Ah Da frowned, "Young master, do you really want to go there?"
"Information, registration." Xie Rongjin pondered for a while, "I plan to find a chance to go in and have a look."
A team of patrolling guards came from the other side of the road, Xie Rongjin's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head and moved to the side of the road, wanting to leave.
"Stop!" When the patrolling guards passed by the three of them, Ge Qing, the leader, suddenly became alert.
"You three raise your heads!"
Xie Rongjin tightened his hands, but he heard the man sneer, "The three of you are probably not from our village, are you?"
Xie Rongjin cupped his hands, "The three of us just entered here by accident. A little brother told us that we can come here to register with the information office and leave."
"The ones who are timid must have other purposes." A patrolling guard said, "Speaking coquettishly, this is the favorite tone of those officials, Boss Ge, these three are not sent by the government to investigate the situation Spy."
Ge Qing's eyes flashed, and just at this moment, another person came over, the person put his hand on Ge Qing's shoulder, and asked carelessly: "Ge Qing, you are not patrolling, what are you doing blocking people here?" Woolen cloth!"
Ge Qing turned his head, glanced at the person who came, then took a step back and saluted: "Second Master, there are three suspicious people here. They claim to have broken in by mistake. I am currently investigating."
The voice was somewhat familiar, Xie Rongjin looked up and his breath suddenly tightened, it turned out to be the person who caught them before.
Wu Xizhi also happened to look at Xie Rongjin, and at this moment, the two met their eyes.
Wu Xizhi secretly thought that something was wrong, the head of the family ordered not to take action against these three people, but they were not allowed to release water if they were found.
Now that I hit it, it seems that I have to make a show.
Wu Xizhi stabilized his mind, and deliberately said in a fierce tone, "So it's you, I said why there is no one in the dungeon, so you came here."
"Let's go!" Xie Rongjin held his breath, he still remembered how he fell down before, it was these people who drugged them.
The three of Xie Rongjin jumped onto the tree, jumped between the branches, and disappeared after a few somersaults.
"Want to run? There is a way to heaven. If you don't go, you can't fly with your wings." Wu Xizhi said loudly, and Ge Qing looked at the team members behind him, "What are you still doing, go after it!"
"Wait!" Wu Xizhi stopped them, "Just a symbolic chase, don't let them run into our secret base, be careful not to let them step on the mechanism, and don't catch them."
"What... what?" Ge Qing, who was about to rush out, staggered because he stopped suddenly.
"If you don't catch them, what's the point of chasing them?"
"Show it!" Wu Xizhi took it for granted, "This is the order of the head, you just follow it, don't ask so many questions."
Ge Qing was speechless for a moment, then looked at his team members, "You heard me, just chase after me."
The three of Xie Rongjin rushed far away at a fast speed, and they were relieved when they saw that the pursuers did not catch up.
"The rest meeting, I probably didn't catch up." Xie Rongjin raised his hands and propped himself on the tree trunk, panting.

"What sound?" Ah Da raised his ears, and was about to listen carefully, but suddenly his expression tightened, "Young Master, be careful, there are traps here!"
However, it was too late at this time, and the three of them fell directly under their feet.
When Ge Qing and the others arrived, they saw only the place where the traps had been arranged, just in time to see the ground regain its level.
"Oh no, they fell into the entrance of the base!" Ge Qing gritted his teeth, "Hurry up and tell the second leader, the first leader, I'll go down and stop them."
The three of Xie Rongjin fell into the dark tunnel. Fortunately, this high place would not cause much harm to the martial arts practitioners. The three of them walked along the tunnel in the dark for an unknown amount of time. Finally, there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
The three of Xie Rongjin climbed out of the exit, outside the exit were countless high and low houses, people coming and going, it was a very lively scene.
"Hey, did we escape from Yunhu Mountain?"
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, young master, let's go quickly." Ah Da urged.
Xie Rongjin knew the worries of the two of them. He is the young master of the Xie family, and it would be very dangerous to come to Yunhu Mountain, but...
For some reason, Xie Rongjin suddenly remembered the man in white he had seen that day, and the tone of that man made him very concerned.
"Stop!" Ge Qing climbed out from the exit, and Xie Rongjin and the three of them were startled. The bandit came so fast, and there was still a long distance between them.
"Come on—" Ge Qing's voice suddenly disappeared. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make any sound.
The man in white appeared silently behind Xie Rongjin and the three of them. Ge Qing was facing him, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and then saluted in the direction of the three of them in a panic.
"What... are you doing?" Xie Rongjin was taken aback, but was dragged back a few steps by Ah Da and Ah Er.
Qi Heng slightly raised his hand and released Ge Qing's dumb acupoint.
"The head of the family." Ge Qing touched his throat, and then saluted Qi Heng again.
"You are the head of the family?" Xie Rongjin turned his head, saw the familiar mask, and couldn't help raising his voice.
"Don't be surprised." Qi Heng gave him a cold look, then turned to Ge Qing, "Throw them out."
Ge Qing bent over and said yes.
"The boss—" Xie Rongjin gritted his teeth, "I know you have no ill intentions towards me, can I ask you a question!"
Qi Heng looked up at him, "What's the matter?"
"I'm from the Xie family in He County. My father disappeared in Yunhu Mountain many years ago—" Xie Rongjin said hastily, and the expressions of Ah Da and Ah Er suddenly changed, "Young master, don't reveal your identity——"
Different from the panic of Ah Da and the other two, Xie Rongjin's intuition told him that the man in white in front of him had no ill intentions towards him, and the other party was the head of the bandit village, so he might be able to ask for some information.
"I heard that the second master once brought someone back from the mountain." Xie Rongjin said with hope, and took out a folded piece of paper with slightly yellowed edges from his arms, "This is a portrait of my father. Can't help me ask your second master, have you seen this person back then?"
Qi Heng raised his hand and took the portrait from Xie Rongjin. Looking carefully, the lines of the characters on the portrait are very simple, so abstract that it can be seen that he wants to draw a person.
How dare you call it him when you draw it like this?
Looking for someone based on such a portrait, he dared to say that this stupid son would not be able to find anyone after another 100 years of searching.
After being silent for a while, Qi Heng pinched the portrait and asked, "Who painted this portrait?"
Xie Rongjin didn't know why, but under the cold gaze of the other party, a sense of tension suddenly rose in his heart.
"Yes... I drew it, according to the descriptions of the servants who served my father back then."
Xie Rongjin said and looked at Ah Da Ah Er with some uncertainty, "The difference shouldn't be that big, right?"
Ah Da Ah Er: "..."
Qi Heng returned the portrait to Xie Rongjin, looked at Ge Qing, "Take him to see Wu Xizhi, and ask him face to face."
"Thank you, Master." Xie Rongjin hugged the portrait, and smiled gratefully when he heard his words.
The corner of Qi Heng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Stupid boy, Wu Xizhi is a ghost if he can recognize this abstract figure.
"What a freak."
Xie Rongjin muttered, and walked near the snake head that fell on the ground. The wound was smooth as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade. What he saw just now was a touch of green. Xie Rongjin searched all around, but there was no suspected green hidden weapon.
"This is?"

Not long after he left, several children chased and got under the clothes drying pole, accidentally knocked down the clothes drying pole, and the body of the black snake fell on one of the children with the clothes drying pole.
"There's a snake!" A group of children ran away with a loud wow, leaving only the child with the clothes pole hanging on his body and the body of the black snake standing there, crying out with a wow.
"Auntie! A snake bit me—"

Ah Da raised his hand, knocked the young man unconscious with a knife in his hand, and put him on the chair.
The wooden house is not spacious, there is a bamboo chair, a table, four stools, and a simple wooden bed for only one person to lie down on.
"The young master rests at ease, Ah'er and I take turns guarding."
Xie Rongjin nodded, closed his clothes and fell asleep.
The rooster crowed at dawn, and the young man who had slept on the bamboo chair all night woke up frowning, while rubbing the sore back of his neck.

The young man's hands froze because he saw the three people who were about to go out.
The young man's eyes widened. He remembered that when he was about to sleep last night, he was knocked out.

Ah Da made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Hero!" The bronze-skinned young man fell to the ground with a plop, "I am just an ordinary farmer, please let me go, I will never go out and talk nonsense."
"Don't be afraid." Xie Rongjin stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground. "We won't do anything to you. We just got lost and entered here by mistake. We didn't find the way out, so we just wanted to find a place to stay overnight."

He opened the door and walked out, Xie Rongjin and the others followed behind him without any hurry.
"Look, go through this mountain road, and then you will arrive at the small market in our village. The other side of the market is the information place I told you about."

"Scaring children with poisonous snakes?" Lin Hu frowned, "Who is so wicked? Didn't Zhang's baby get bitten?"
Xie Rongjin's body froze, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
"It didn't bite. The snake didn't even have a head. It's just scary. Zhangjiawa's mother feels sorry for her. She's making a fuss at the patrol. She wants the patrol to catch that prankster."
Realized that the wicked ghost was talking about his own Xie Rongjin: "..."
"Lin Hu!" With a loud bang, a woman rushed in front of Lin Hu.
"The patrol department said that yesterday our area was guarded by you and Housi's patrol team. Tell me, you saw someone bring a dead snake to Zhuangzi's house yesterday!"
"I didn't see it either, why don't you ask Monkey Four, I still have something to do—"
"No, if you don't give me an explanation today, you can't leave!" The woman refused to let go, "My Zhang family is just such a child, I can't be bullied like this!"
"This...I..." Lin Hu looked helplessly at Xie Rongjin and the others, "The information office is just ahead, you—"
"Since Brother Lin has something to do, then we can go there by ourselves." Xie Rongjin said, then cupped his hands in a salute, and walked towards the direction Lin Hu pointed.
The noise of the market went away, Ah Da frowned, "Young master, do you really want to go there?"
"Information, registration." Xie Rongjin pondered for a while, "I plan to find a chance to go in and have a look."
A team of patrolling guards came from the other side of the road, Xie Rongjin's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head and moved to the side of the road, wanting to leave.
"Stop!" When the patrolling guards passed by the three of them, Ge Qing, the leader, suddenly became alert.
"You three raise your heads!"
Xie Rongjin tightened his hands, but he heard the man sneer, "The three of you are probably not from our village, are you?"

Ge Qing turned his head, glanced at the person who came, then took a step back and saluted: "Second Master, there are three suspicious people here. They claim to have broken in by mistake. I am currently investigating."
The voice was somewhat familiar, Xie Rongjin looked up and his breath suddenly tightened, it turned out to be the person who caught them before.
Wu Xizhi also happened to look at Xie Rongjin, and at this moment, the two met their eyes.
Wu Xizhi secretly thought that something was wrong, the head of the family ordered not to take action against these three people, but they were not allowed to release water if they were found.
Now that I hit it, it seems that I have to make a show.
Wu Xizhi stabilized his mind, and deliberately said in a fierce tone, "So it's you, I said why there is no one in the dungeon, so you came here."

"Wait!" Wu Xizhi stopped them, "Just a symbolic chase, don't let them run into our secret base, be careful not to let them step on the mechanism, and don't catch them."
"What... what?" Ge Qing, who was about to rush out, staggered because he stopped suddenly.
"If you don't catch them, what's the point of chasing them?"
"Show it!" Wu Xizhi took it for granted, "This is the order of the head, you just follow it, don't ask so many questions."
Ge Qing was speechless for a moment, then looked at his team members, "You heard me, just chase after me."
The three of Xie Rongjin rushed far away at a fast speed, and they were relieved when they saw that the pursuers did not catch up.
"The rest meeting, I probably didn't catch up." Xie Rongjin raised his hands and propped himself on the tree trunk, panting.

"What sound?" Ah Da raised his ears, and was about to listen carefully, but suddenly his expression tightened, "Young Master, be careful, there are traps here!"
However, it was too late at this time, and the three of them fell directly under their feet.
When Ge Qing and the others arrived, they saw only the place where the traps had been arranged, just in time to see the ground regain its level.
"Oh no, they fell into the entrance of the base!" Ge Qing gritted his teeth, "Hurry up and tell the second leader, the first leader, I'll go down and stop them."
The three of Xie Rongjin fell into the dark tunnel. Fortunately, this high place would not cause much harm to the martial arts practitioners. The three of them walked along the tunnel in the dark for an unknown amount of time. Finally, there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
The three of Xie Rongjin climbed out of the exit, outside the exit were countless high and low houses, people coming and going, it was a very lively scene.
"Hey, did we escape from Yunhu Mountain?"
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, young master, let's go quickly." Ah Da urged.
Xie Rongjin knew the worries of the two of them. He is the young master of the Xie family, and it would be very dangerous to come to Yunhu Mountain, but...
For some reason, Xie Rongjin suddenly remembered the man in white he had seen that day, and the tone of that man made him very concerned.
"Stop!" Ge Qing climbed out from the exit, and Xie Rongjin and the three of them were startled. The bandit came so fast, and there was still a long distance between them.
"Come on—" Ge Qing's voice suddenly disappeared. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make any sound.
The man in white appeared silently behind Xie Rongjin and the three of them. Ge Qing was facing him, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and then saluted in the direction of the three of them in a panic.
"What... are you doing?" Xie Rongjin was taken aback, but was dragged back a few steps by Ah Da and Ah Er.
Qi Heng slightly raised his hand and released Ge Qing's dumb acupoint.
"The head of the family." Ge Qing touched his throat, and then saluted Qi Heng again.
"You are the head of the family?" Xie Rongjin turned his head, saw the familiar mask, and couldn't help raising his voice.
"Don't be surprised." Qi Heng gave him a cold look, then turned to Ge Qing, "Throw them out."
Ge Qing bent over and said yes.
"The boss—" Xie Rongjin gritted his teeth, "I know you have no ill intentions towards me, can I ask you a question!"
Qi Heng looked up at him, "What's the matter?"
"I'm from the Xie family in He County. My father disappeared in Yunhu Mountain many years ago—" Xie Rongjin said hastily, and the expressions of Ah Da and Ah Er suddenly changed, "Young master, don't reveal your identity——"
Different from the panic of Ah Da and the other two, Xie Rongjin's intuition told him that the man in white in front of him had no ill intentions towards him, and the other party was the head of the bandit village, so he might be able to ask for some information.
"I heard that the second master once brought someone back from the mountain." Xie Rongjin said with hope, and took out a folded piece of paper with slightly yellowed edges from his arms, "This is a portrait of my father. Can't help me ask your second master, have you seen this person back then?"
Qi Heng raised his hand and took the portrait from Xie Rongjin. Looking carefully, the lines of the characters on the portrait are very simple, so abstract that it can be seen that he wants to draw a person.
How dare you call it him when you draw it like this?
Looking for someone based on such a portrait, he dared to say that this stupid son would not be able to find anyone after another 100 years of searching.
After being silent for a while, Qi Heng pinched the portrait and asked, "Who painted this portrait?"
Xie Rongjin didn't know why, but under the cold gaze of the other party, a sense of tension suddenly rose in his heart.
"Yes... I drew it, according to the descriptions of the servants who served my father back then."
Xie Rongjin said and looked at Ah Da Ah Er with some uncertainty, "The difference shouldn't be that big, right?"
Ah Da Ah Er: "..."
Qi Heng returned the portrait to Xie Rongjin, looked at Ge Qing, "Take him to see Wu Xizhi, and ask him face to face."
"Thank you, Master." Xie Rongjin hugged the portrait, and smiled gratefully when he heard his words.
The corner of Qi Heng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Stupid boy, Wu Xizhi is a ghost if he can recognize this abstract figure.
