As soon as Sikong Zhaixing turned his head, he saw the big ship that was quickly approaching behind him.

He didn't react at first, until Lu Xiaofeng, who was dressed like a fisherman, took off his bamboo hat, stood on the bow and waved to him, then he realized that he was being tricked by Chu Liuxiang.

"You cheat!"

Sikong Zhaixing was in a bad mood, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat Chu Liuxiang, he would definitely pounce on Chu Liuxiang and tear off the hateful smile on Chu Liuxiang's face right now.

Chu Liuxiang shrugged, "You can't say that, it's just a coincidence."

This gamble was initiated by Sikong Zaixing on his own initiative, Chu Liuxiang felt that he was just lucky and discovered Lu Xiaofeng's arrival earlier than Sikong Zaixing.

Anyway, he would not admit that he was cheating.

Sikong Zhaixing was about to die of anger.

"I would like to bet and lose, my friend." Chu Liuxiang patted Sikong Jiexing on the shoulder with a smile, then walked over him to the stern, and greeted Chu Xiao and others who were walking on the deck one after another.

Before meeting Chu Liuxiang and Sikong Zaixing, Chu Xiao and the others didn't know much.

They knew that Tianyi Shenshui was stolen, and that people in Shenshui Palace suspected that it was related to Chu Liuxiang and Sikong Jiexing, but they didn't know that someone had already died because of Tianyi Shenshui.

Zuo Youzheng, the leader of the Tianxing Gang, Ximen Qian of the Zhusha Gang, Lingjiuzi of Hainan Three Swords, Zhamuhe, the king of the desert, and a disciple of Shenshui Palace, all five of them have extraordinary backgrounds and have no bright faces The places that can be related together are really confusing.

At least, Chu Liuxiang couldn't think of a clue.

Without a clue, he naturally couldn't find a place to start.

"Have you ever investigated the source of these corpses?"

Realizing that the situation seemed to be more difficult than he imagined, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but frowned, "Since they were thrown into the sea after death, maybe they can find some witnesses."

Of course Chu Liuxiang had investigated these.

Those corpses all came from the east. Chu Liuxiang went to ask the fishermen who were active in that sea area, but they couldn't find any witnesses.

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

"No." Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said helplessly, "So we can only start with those victims."

The time of death of the victims is almost the same, which means that they must have gathered in the same place during their lifetime. What they have to do is to find out why these seemingly unrelated people will gather together.

Only after finding the reason can we know the purpose of the murderer behind the scenes.

This is obviously a big project, and one month's time is definitely not enough for Chu Liuxiang to investigate alone.

Both the cinnabar gang and the Tianxing gang have their headquarters in Jinan, and Lu Xiaofeng happened to have some friendship with the head disciple of the cinnabar gang, Leng Qiuhun, so he planned to go there with Sikong Zhaixing and Huamanlou to investigate first.

So there were only three places Chu Liuxiang could choose to investigate.

Hainan, the Great Desert, Shenshui Palace.

...To be honest, Chu Liuxiang didn't want to choose any of them.

The former two are too far away, and it will take more than a month to travel back and forth, while the latter is not far away, but as we all know, Shenshui Palace has always prevented outsiders from entering, especially men.

Seeing Chu Liuxiang's troubled expression, Su Rongrong, who had been sitting quietly not far away, suddenly said, "Why don't you just let me go, I have a cousin who is the disciple of Shenshui Palace."

Chu Liuxiang didn't even think about it, she immediately shook her head and refused: "Your illness hasn't recovered yet..."

"It's just a minor illness, it's nothing to worry about." Su Rongrong smiled sweetly, looked at Chu Liuxiang with gentle but firm eyes, and said softly, "You just need to rest assured."

Looking at Su Rongrong who still had a sick look on her face, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help smiling wryly.

How can he rest assured?

Seeing the interaction between these two people, Chu Xiao couldn't help poking Lu Xiaofeng, and said via voice transmission: "Are you sure these two are just brother and sister?" It doesn't look like it.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Anyway, that's how Chu Liuxiang introduced me."

As for the real situation, there is no need to say more.

The properly falling flowers are intentional and ruthless.

Su Rongrong is a very beautiful girl, she has a gentle aura unique to Jiangnan women, and her sickly appearance is particularly pitiful, which arouses Chu Xiao's heart of pity and pity.

So he said resolutely: "Since Miss Su is not feeling well, she might as well rest on the boat. I have a friend in Shenshui Palace, and I can ask her to help find out the news."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but look sideways.

If he hadn't believed in Chu Xiao's character, he would have thought that Chu Xiao was just talking in vain.

You know, the disciples of Shenshui Palace are notoriously hating men. When they see a man, they either scoff at them or scream to kill them. He has never heard of any disciple of Shenshui Palace who would be friends with a man.

Wu Gui immediately realized: "Master, are you talking about that Situ girl?"

He had a little impression of this girl.

At that time, he was on his way back to Beijing to report the news, and when he heard that Chu Xiao had sent a dragon guard to escort a girl back to Shenshui Palace, he thought that there was something between her and his master.

As a result, when he saw Chu Xiao again, Chu Xiao had already got together with Ye Gucheng.

Chu Xiao nodded, and said to Chu Liuxiang, "I still know the route to Shenshui Palace. We can sneak into Shenshui Palace directly and ask my friend about it."

It just so happened that he could also take this opportunity to visit Situ Jing.

Chu Liuxiang readily agreed.

Now that he had a better choice, he certainly wouldn't let Su Rongrong take the trip for him while sick.

They finalized a detailed plan and agreed to leave for their respective destinations tomorrow morning. Before they parted, a lively banquet was naturally indispensable.

Probably because of the atmosphere, Chu Xiao drank a little too much this time.His drinking capacity is actually not bad, but it's not enough to put it in front of Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang.

A drunk person will inevitably do some unexpected things when his mind is not clear.

When Chu Xiao broke into Ye Gucheng's room reeking of alcohol, Ye Gucheng had already fallen asleep. He had always had a regular schedule and would go to bed after Xushi.

Xu was used to Chu Xiao's breath, Ye Gucheng didn't react immediately, until Chu Xiao climbed onto the bed on his own, trying to tuck himself into the bed.

Ye Gucheng: "..."

He had no choice but to get up, ready to give up the room to the drunk.

"No, don't go."

Just when Ye Gucheng put on his coat and was about to leave, a cold hand suddenly grabbed his wrist, "You have to accompany me."

Chu Xiao knelt down on the bed aggrieved, grabbed Ye Gucheng with one hand, and randomly grabbed the quilt with Yuwen under him with the other, trying to wrap herself up.

Ye Gucheng frowned slightly, and felt for Chu Xiao's pulse with his backhand, only to realize that his cold poison had flared up earlier.

This time it was a full day earlier.

Looking at Chu Xiao who kept muttering cold, Ye Gucheng bent down and stuffed him into the bed, and then tried to persuade him to let go, "I'll ask someone to prepare hot water."

"No, no." Chu Xiao refused to let go, and buried his head in Ye Gucheng's waist, muttering vaguely: "I don't want hot water, you are enough."

Ye Gucheng hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't insist on it.

He sat sideways on the side of the bed, hugged Chu Xiao into his arms, and used his internal strength to help Chu Xiao relieve the cold feeling when the cold poison broke out.

This method is obviously more effective than soaking in hot water. After a while, Chu Xiao's pale lips returned to blood. He subconsciously pressed himself closer to Ye Gucheng's arms, and his hands came out at some point. Get out of bed, tightly wrapped around Ye Gucheng's waist.

A barely audible sigh escaped from his mouth, Ye Gucheng lowered his head, kissed Chu Xiao's forehead comfortingly, and coaxed in a low voice: "Hey, let go of your hand first."

Chu Xiao was unexpectedly obedient at the moment, and actually slowly let go of his arms.

He seems to have woken up a bit, but he doesn't seem to be, but he is extraordinarily well-behaved, he does whatever Ye Gucheng asks him to do, this appearance makes Ye Gucheng feel quite fresh.

After a while, Ye Gucheng successfully changed Chu Xiao into clean clothes.

The window was half opened, and the smell of alcohol was quickly blown away by the moist night wind. Chu Xiao, who snuggled into Ye Gucheng's arms again, slowly closed his eyes, as quiet as if he had fallen into a dream.

After an unknown amount of time, the chill on Chu Xiao's body finally dissipated completely. Ye Gucheng stopped the internal force that had been running all the time, and carefully adjusted his posture.

He thought Chu Xiao had fallen asleep.

But when he lowered his head, he met a pair of eyes that were not sleepy at all.

Immediately, a pair of soft lips pressed against her gently.

Everything that followed seemed to happen naturally, a long kiss made the atmosphere more mellow, it was unknown who unbuttoned whose clothes first, a gradual and rapid panting sound rose quietly, and again when they were in a hurry outside the window Quietly subsided in the sound of slow water flow.

The morning light breaks.

With two dark circles under his eyes, Wu Gui got up in a trance, and quietly floated out of the room like a wandering spirit. When passing by the room opposite, his dull eyes seemed to be even more dull a bit.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xiaofeng, who drank with Chu Liuxiang on the deck all night but was still in good spirits, was a little surprised, "Didn't you sleep well last night, why does your spirit look so bad?"

Wu Gui: "You don't understand..."

It's all due to the poor soundproofing of the room.
