Ye Chengyu came to Wen Rongchuan's room, hesitated for a while, and finally knocked on the door.

The door was opened soon, and when he saw Ye Chengyu standing outside, Wen Rongchuan was obviously startled, as if he didn't expect Ye Chengyu to come to him at this time.

The moment he saw Wen Rongchuan, Qin Shaozong's bad idea flashed across Ye Chengyu's mind again, he could only remain silent, trying to erase that absurd idea from his mind.

When he finally got out of that terrible proposal, he forced a smile and said, "If you're not tired, why don't you walk with me?"

Hearing Ye Chengyu's question, Wen Rongchuan didn't seem to be able to react for a while, and answered after a while: "It's not too late, it's okay to go for a walk."

Seeing that Wen Rongchuan looked a little dazed, Ye Chengyu didn't inquire, and after getting Wen Rongchuan's reply, he walked out of the inn together.

The two walked aimlessly on the village path, during which Wen Rongchuan remained silent, as if in a daze.

Ye Chengyu looked at him, and finally asked, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

Wen Rongchuan lowered his face, and said in a low voice: "I was just thinking, that brat Shen Xuanyi's medical skills are not bad, I wonder if there is a way to heal Qin Shaozong's body?"

Ye Chengyu said: "You seem to be very concerned about Shaozong's situation."

Wen Rongchuan was silent for a while, then turned his face away as if embarrassed, and said: "I have lived in the green bamboo forest for so long, and I have two doctors by my side, so it is inevitable that I will be interested in some difficult and miscellaneous diseases... What's more, I tried poison with eleven."

Ye Chengyu said: "In this case, why don't you ask Mr. Yin for help?"

Wen Rongchuan said with a dry smile: "Yin Xiannian can't find anyone now, not to mention he is an old man, he must not be able to withstand Qin Shaozong's fuss."

Ye Chengyu said indifferently: "But didn't you say that Mr. Yin's physical fitness is still the same as before, and he hasn't aged with his appearance? What's more, with a lively apprentice like Master Shen, Mr. Yin is already used to it."

Wen Rongchuan sighed: "It's better not to bother the old man anymore, just let the little devil do it for him."

Ye Chengyu said again: "Mr. Yin has become like this, and you always run outside, don't you worry about his situation?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "With that brat Shen Xuanyi around, I can't worry about this matter."

Ye Chengyu just smiled: "Really?"

The two talked while walking, and soon they had arrived outside the village, the night was already extremely dark, even with the faint moonlight shining, it was difficult to see things outside the village.

Ye Chengyu finally stopped in his tracks, staring straight at the darkness in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Wen Rongchuan just stood beside him, watching Ye Chengyu quietly.

Ye Chengyu's appearance is excellent, and his figure is naturally not bad. No matter how ordinary his every move is, he can always attract the attention of others. Wen Rongchuan watched and took a step forward involuntarily.

Wen Rongchuan did have something on his mind.

──On the night he left Xunfeng Villa, he did meet Yin Xiannian not far outside the villa.

He didn't know why Yin Xiannian appeared there, but he knew that Yin Xiannian was the one who used incense to stabilize his mind at that time.

From seeing the wooden boards in Xinyang Village, to the accident at Xunfeng Villa, and now Qin Shaozong's body, Wen Rong had doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to believe that such doubts were true.

Wen Rongchuan wanted to discuss what was on his mind with Ye Chengyu, but he was even more worried that Ye Chengyu had confirmed his guess.

If even Ye Chengyu agrees with his thoughts, he doesn't know how he will face Yin Xiannian in the future.

Sensing a gaze on his body, Wen Rongchuan finally pulled Piaoyuan's thoughts back. He saw Ye Chengyu looking at him without blinking, and there seemed to be doubts in his eyes.

Wen Rongchuan subconsciously looked away, as if trying to cover up something, and asked casually, "What did Qin Shaozong drag you in just now?"

Ye Chengyu smiled and said: "He asked me why you left Xunfeng Villa."

Wen Rongchuan was startled, he didn't expect the problem to come so soon.

Looking up at Ye Chengyu, Wen Rongchuan asked hesitantly: "Did you... tell him?"

Ye Chengyu asked back: "Don't you want me to tell him?"

Wen Rongchuan just remained silent, bowed his head and said nothing.

Xiao Zi was instigated by someone, and on the night of her accident, Yin Xiannian also appeared near Xunfeng Villa.

He knew that the mission target of Eleven was indeed Yin Xiannian, but he was not sure whether Xiao Zi's incident was also related to Yin Xiannian, but Yin Xiannian would use incense to soothe his mind afterwards, and Wen Rongchuan would never know if he said anything. will believe.

Qin Shaozong's attitude clearly suspected that the reason why he left Xunfeng Villa had something to do with Yin Xiannian. If Qin Shaozong knew what happened that night, then Yin Xiannian would have another crime in Qin Shaozong's heart.

Ye Chengyu looked at Wen Rongchuan quietly for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him gently, Wen Rongchuan was startled.

Ye Chengyu said softly: "At that time Xiaozi knew to ask for help, someone must have instructed her behind her back. I don't know why Xiaozi became like that, but this matter is definitely not your problem."

Wen Rongchuan replied in a low voice: "I know... I'm just a little worried..."

Wen Rongchuan stopped in the middle of speaking, and Ye Chengyu just hugged him quietly, without urging him.

After a while, Wen Rongchuan spoke again: "What Qin Shaozong cares about is not what happened in Xunfeng Villa, right?"

Ye Chengyu said: "What Young Sect wants to know is the reason why the target of Eleven appears there."

Wen Rongchuan's hand hanging by his side tightened, then he sighed lightly, and finally confessed: "Actually... I know who that person is."

To his surprise, Ye Chengyu said directly: "It's Mr. Yin, right?"

When Wen Rongchuan heard the words, his body froze almost imperceptibly, but he didn't deny it.

There was another long silence, and this time it was Ye Chengyu who spoke first: "The boards in Xinyang Village are also left by Mr. Yin, right?"

Wen Rongchuan could only bow his head and say: "...Indeed."

Ye Chengyu said: "That day, after you saw the wooden board, you clearly thought of someone, but you didn't want us to know. But the person who knows your handwriting and makes you want to protect him, I can only Thinking of Mr. Yin."

Wen Rongchuan said in a low voice: "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Ye Chengyu stroked Wen Rongchuan's back and comforted him: "Mr. Yin has raised you for 11 years, so it's only natural that you want to protect him frankly."

Wen Rongchuan said gruffly: "Since you thought of it a long time ago, why didn't you say it then?"

Ye Chengyu said: "If you don't want to tell, I won't ask."

Having said this, Ye Chengyu let go of his embrace.

Wen Rongchuan still lowered his head. After a long time, he hesitated and said: "I know I lied to you...do you still believe me?"

Ye Chengyu smiled lightly: "You will do this, there must be your reasons, as long as the things in Xinyang Village were not done by you, I am willing to believe you."

Wen Rongchuan opened his mouth, but turned his face away again: "Actually...the writing on that wooden board, I still lied to you."

Ye Chengyu asked: "What do you mean?"

Wen Rongchuan fixed his eyes on the ground, as if he didn't dare to meet Ye Chengyu's gaze: "The words left on the wooden board are actually Yin Xiannian's writing."

When Ye Chengyu heard the words, he just looked at Wen Rongchuan quietly without saying a word.

Without Ye Chengyu's answer, Wen Rongchuan felt even more uneasy, fearing that Ye Chengyu would leave in such a huff.

But what he was worried about didn't happen, because Ye Chengyu suddenly stepped forward and raised his face with his hand, so that he could only look directly at Ye Chengyu, unable to look away again.

Ye Chengyu smiled and said, "Since you have confessed now, then I will forgive you."

Wen Rongchuan stared at Ye Chengyu for a while, then blinked, as if he couldn't believe that Ye Chengyu could let go so easily.

Ye Chengyu moved his hand away, then looked at Wen Rongchuan's appearance again, then smiled and said: "During this period, your injury seems to have recovered a lot."

Wen Rongchuan scratched his cheeks, and said honestly: "It's all thanks to Yin Xiannian's prescription."

Ye Chengyu was startled: "Have you met Mr. Yin?"

Wen Rongchuan said in a low voice: "On the day I left Xunfeng Mountain Villa... I didn't see him, but only saw the cloth bag he left me, which contained the prescription he wrote to me, and told me ten One's saber has what I need."

Ye Chengyu said: "Is that the nuclear nail?"

Wen Rongchuan's voice was even lower: "Yes. So I was able to find Mingfeng Pavilion because it was Yin Xiannian's guidance."

It was because of the cloth pouch that Wen Rongchuan immediately thought of Yan Minshan when he saw the nuclear nail, but he did not expect that the nuclear nail was actually left by Yin Xiannian for him.

Ye Chengyu asked: "Aren't you curious, what exactly does Mr. Yin want to do?"

Wen Rongchuan could only smile wryly and said: "He has been like this since before, even if he asks, he may not necessarily answer."

Ye Chengyu said: "Then you care about Shaozong's body because of Mr. Yin?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Ye Chengyu, Wen Rongchuan said with a wry smile: "Qin Shaozong told you everything, didn't he?"

Ye Chengyu said: "Yes, and I also told him that that person might be Mr. Yin."

Wen Rongchuan was silent for a while, but still insisted: "Yin Xiannian is already an old man."

Ye Chengyu said: "The person Shaozong wants to arrest is a master of disguise."

Wen Rongchuan looked at Ye Chengyu quietly for a while, and could only sigh: "It seems that this encounter still cannot be avoided."

Ye Chengyu said: "You always knew Mr. Yin was Yi Rong, didn't you?"

Wen Rongchuan said helplessly: "I'm not that brat Shen Xuanyi. Yin Xiannian can trust everything he says unconditionally. When Yin Xiannian just started to 'grow old', I still lived with him every day."

Ye Chengyu said: "So, do you already know that Mr. Yin may be avoiding someone's pursuit?"

Wen Rongchuan bowed his head and said: "...Indeed. Yin Xiannian has never deliberately pretended to me, and from some of his natural habits, I can see that he should have been an extraordinary killer in the past, so at the beginning, I only regarded him as a killer. Those enemies who are hiding are the sufferers of his previous missions."

Ye Chengyu said again: "When I first asked you about Mr. Yin, you said that Mr. Yin didn't even know your reputation outside. Are you serious?"

Wen Rongchuan was silent again, and after a while he smiled wryly and said, "You can hear the problem with such a sentence."

Ye Chengyu smiled and said: "Since Mr. Yin often leaves the green bamboo forest, how could he never hear about you?"

Wen Rongchuan sighed: "In fact, when Yang Ruigang came to me six years ago, I went back to the Green Bamboo Forest to stay for a while. At that time, there were often people who taught ghosts to the Green Bamboo Forest. Yin Xiannian already knew of their existence. .”

Ye Chengyu said: "So you said that Mr. Yin is an old man in front of outsiders, and you have always insisted that Mr. Yin has retired from the martial arts world, and you are worried that the enemies he hides will find him because of this?"

Wen Rongchuan said in a low voice: "That's true, but I didn't mean to lie to you at the time, but I still want to be more cautious about some things. If you are not used to saying this, you may be listened to by Yin Xiannian's enemies someday."

"I don't want to blame you." Ye Chengyu just smiled lightly, "But you have been living with Mr. Yin, do you know who else he knows?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "I don't know. When I was in the green bamboo forest, outsiders rarely visited. I don't know what Yin Xiannian has been doing since he left, and I don't know who he knows."

Ye Chengyu pondered for a while, and said: "Shaozong said that he was saved at the beginning because a mysterious person gave him the antidote, but after that person was disguised, even the gender could not be identified. The medicine bottle that he took down is still on the tea cabinet in his room."

Wen Rongchuan was startled: "Could it be that blue medicine bottle?"

Ye Chengyu tilted his head: "Shaozong said that when you went to his room, your eyes stayed on the medicine bottle—could you really recognize it?"

Wen Rongchuan nodded and said: "Of course I recognize it. That medicine bottle is produced in a small village near the green bamboo forest. Yin Xiannian also uses the same medicine bottle."

Ye Chengyu said: "It seems that the person who saved Shaozong may also live near the green bamboo forest, or the bottle of antidote was obtained from Mr. Yin."

Wen Rongchuan didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Ye Chengyu fixedly.

After another long while, he tentatively asked: "If Qin Shaozong's body can still be cured...can he let go of this hatred?"

Ye Chengyu fell silent.

Looking at Wen Rongchuan's attitude, he obviously didn't know that Qin Ruoyang's death was also related to Yin Xiannian. Since Qin Shaozong didn't say anything, Ye Chengyu naturally wasn't going to confess for him.

Ye Chengyu could only sigh: "I can't answer you on this point. Even if Shaozong is willing to let go of this matter, Mr. Yin still has too many problems."

The poison found on Xiaozi's body, the case of Xinyang Village, and why he and Yan Minshan's father died in Jufeng Mountain back then may all have something to do with Yin Xiannian—maybe when the truth is revealed, even He will not let Yin Xiannian go.

After looking at Wen Rongchuan for a while, Ye Chengyu said slowly: "Do you know what the mark we saw on the tree by the river in the Green Bamboo Forest means?"

Wen Rongchuan was stunned, momentarily puzzled why Ye Chengyu asked this question.

Seeing Wen Rongchuan's reaction, Ye Chengyu knew that he really didn't know the meaning of that mark.

Ye Chengyu narrowed his eyes, and said bluntly: "That is the mark used by the 'Three Monsters Gathering the Wind' back then—I and Min Shan's father had been to that place back then."

Hearing this, Wen Rongchuan still didn't say a word, but the hand hanging by his side was already quietly clenched.

Seeing his actions, Ye Chengyu said: "I don't know where the nuclear nail in Mr. Yin's hand came from, but if it turns out that Mr. Yin's father's death is indeed related to Mr. Yin, then Minshan and I... won't forgive him."

Wen Rongchuan still lowered his head and opened his mouth, but in the end he could only utter two words: "Sorry."
