The night in Xuandu is more noisy than the day.Especially on West Street, which is famous for its downtown, the boiling sound of people flows from one end to the other.

Despite the crowd, Wen Xun still saw Shi Xianyou in white through the crowd.That cold figure was particularly eye-catching in the busy city, as if talking to Han Shi, he was walking slowly in their direction.

Wen Xun unconsciously bumped into the white clothes, was startled immediately, and reflexively crawled into Shuo Xuan's arms to hide.His entire face was pressed against Shuo Xuan's chest, and then the other's hand fell on his back.

Just now, I almost met Shi Xianyou's eyes, which made Wen Xun a lot nervous in an instant.

I'm really afraid of what's coming...

"What's wrong?" Shuo Xuan felt the person in his arms trembling slightly, and asked softly, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Wen Xun didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't dare to make any gestures to attract attention. He just mumbled in Yuexuan's arms and replied, "No, it's just a little cold suddenly. Don't let go, let me hold you for a while."

This was the first time Wen Xun made such a request on his own initiative, and it was only after he finished speaking that he realized the ambiguity in it.

"Xuandu is indeed colder." Said Xuan really hugged him tighter than before, wrapped Wen Xun in a dark purple cloak, and said in a questioning tone: "There are too many people here, go find them first." somewhere to rest."

"Wait!" Wen Xun called him quickly, afraid that his voice would be overheard, he whispered, "I'm tired from walking today, and I don't want to move."

Shuo Xuan said very patiently: "You don't need to move, I will carry you away."

"!" Wen Xun stopped talking about Xuan's imminent movement in time, and hugged him like a giant pendant, "I don't move and you don't move either!"

He really couldn't think of a reason, and he didn't want to deceive Shuuxuan, so he said such a sentence directly, which sounded like a baby.

Shuo Xuan finally saw his abnormality, glanced at the approaching white shadow, and narrowed his eyes slightly.He lowered his head, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the mark on Wen Xun's neck, his eyes darkened.

After a while, the master and servant slowly approached.Immortal cultivators have sharper ears and eyes than ordinary people, and they can hear some conversations clearly even at a short distance.

"Did you find him?" It was Shi Xianyou who asked, as usual, without any fluctuations in his voice.

"The subordinate is incompetent." Han Shi replied truthfully: "According to the disciples of Yinlu Peak and Liu Lan Peak, Mr. Wen probably left the meeting because of Wen Ruan. He also asked the disciple of Liu Lan Peak to bring Tell Peak Master Yinlu that he will come back as soon as he goes."

"I see." Shi Xianyou glanced at the two hugging, and stopped involuntarily.

"Master, it's better to let the subordinates continue to protect Mr. Wen in secret." Han Shi didn't hear the sound for a long time, looked up and followed the line of sight, and saw Shi Xianyou was staring at a pair of 'lover' who were hugging.

"No, I don't want to do something he doesn't like." After Shi Xianyou said this sentence with a blank face, he walked towards the two with a slight frown.

The tips of Wen Xun's ears were blown slightly cool by the wind, followed by a gust of warm breath.

He only heard that Xuan asked softly in his ear: "Is he the head of Xuanji?"

"Hmm..." Wen Xun had no reason to hide it from him, and uttered the word "um" in a nasal voice, as if worried about being caught by Shuo Xuan.

Shi Xianyou was forced to stop in the middle of the walk, and a hearty voice sounded from the other side, and he could guess who it was without listening.

"Master Xuanji." The man called Shi Xianyou to stop, and said with a smile: "So you are here, don't you think you have returned to the mountain."

Shi Xianyou looked back at Bie Jinghua who suddenly appeared. He stayed in Ziye Mountain all year round and had no contact with the outside world, but he had heard about the leaders of various factions.

"Since you came to look for Xuanji's head, of course you have something to do." Bie Jinghua was notoriously frivolous, and didn't pay attention to those etiquettes in front of anyone.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Yi Zhuobai passing by from the corner of his eye, and stopped him along the way, "Master Yi, what a coincidence."

Now Wen Xun really didn't dare to move, he lay stiffly in Shuo Xuan's arms.Obviously the other party's body is very warm, but a chill can't help but emerge from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, Wen Xun only hoped that they would not say any shocking words later.If it was heard by Shuo Xuan, it would be hard to tell.

Unlike Bie Jinghua, Yi Zhuobai is deeply influenced by the family rules of Yi's family, so he speaks and does things more rigidly.He first walked in front of them, and then greeted them politely, "Xuan Ji is the head of the sect, the master of the wandering valley."

Bie Jinghua pretended to be tricky, and said, "Young Master Yi must be very interested in what I want to ask."

Yi Zhuobai showed a puzzled expression, because he didn't have a good impression of Bie Jinghua because of the fact that he went to Wen's house to propose marriage.

In his eyes, Bie Jinghua is like a rival in love.

Shi Xianyou glanced at the two people's positions again, and said a little impatiently: "If you have something to do, you may as well speak directly."

"The thing is like this, the head of Xuanji should know that Young Master Yi and I went to Wen's house to propose marriage." Bie Jinghua said unhurriedly: "Bie heard another news in the past few days, saying that it was Xuanji. The head of the sect decided to marry Xun'er, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

After hearing Bie Jinghua's words, Wen Xun's whole heart turned cold.

Sure enough, Shuo Xuan quickly whispered into his ear and asked him, "Is this true?"

How could Wen Xun dare to answer, now he just wants to find a crack in the ground to get in.But the current situation is that he has taken the initiative to send himself into Shuoxuan's arms.

If he wanted to run, he couldn't. Wen Xun closed his eyes and opened them again, intending to confess and be lenient, "It's true, but... I didn't agree."

Shuo Xuan stroked his hair, and said softly, "Don't worry, I believe what you say."

Not far from them, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.This time, it was Yi Zhuobai's turn to be surprised.He probably didn't expect that the head of Xuanji would have such thoughts about Wen Xun.

"This matter is true." Shi Xianyou said: "Since he rejected your marriage proposal, why don't you two allow him to be with others?"

Facing his rhetorical question, Yi Zhuobai hurriedly explained, "That's not what Zhuobai meant..."

Bie Jinghua snatched his words and said, "That's exactly what BIE meant. Does Master Xuanji know whose child Xun'er is pregnant with? Or does Master Xuanji think he is the biological father of that child?"

Shi Xianyou said expressionlessly: "It's not a belief, but a fact."

He was not interested in continuing to talk to them, so he left with Han Shi without saying a word.

Wen Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help thinking, would Shi Xianyou be jealous because of him?

As soon as Shi Xianyou left, only Bie Jinghua and Yi Zhuobai were left.

When two rivals meet, there is nothing to talk about.

Yi Zhuobai was obviously still thinking about what happened just now, he didn't want to stay here and talk to Bie Jinghua.

For him, in addition to being a rival in love, Bie Jinghua is also a traitor of Pengying Mountain.

"Young Master Yi, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Bie Jinghua blocked his way, still smiling, and asked, "Young Master Yi, has he decided to give up?"

"What?" After asking this sentence, Yi Zhuobai quickly understood what he meant, "Don't worry, wandering valley owner, I will never give up on Axun."

"That's the best way. It's not so fun without someone else." Bie Jinghua followed his footsteps, and said with a smile while walking: "I heard that Young Master Yi is the head of the Yi family. It's Pengyingshan's turn to run for immortal teacher, Young Master Yi must prepare well."

Speaking of the latter sentence, Bie Jinghua patted him on the shoulder.Before the other party gave him a disgusted look, he quickly withdrew his hand to distance himself.

Yi Zhuobai paused, and said coldly: "You are no longer a disciple of another family, and you are also not qualified to step into Pengying Mountain."

Bie Jinghua asked in a relaxed tone, "Then what if I want it anyway?"

Yi Zhuobai didn't speak, and silently quickened his pace.

Finally, when the crisis was resolved, Wen Xun slowly walked away from Shuo Xuan's embrace, and watched it several times for confirmation.

"They're all gone." Shuo Xuan reluctantly let go of his hand and asked, "Are you going to go back?"

"Hmm..." Wen Xun could imagine the disappointment in Shuo Xuan's eyes, remembering that he had done him such a big favor just now, he immediately changed the topic, "Walk with you for a while."

Said Xuan coldly said: "Isn't it tired from walking?"

"Ah... I'm not tired now... What do you want to do!" Wen Xun was caught off guard by Shuo Xuan, who was completely stunned.

"There are too many people here, and this deity is worried that they will bump into you." Said Xuan looked down at him, and smiled secretly: "What do you think I want to do to you?"

Wen Xun turned his face away uncomfortably, "It's nothing, don't get me wrong, I didn't think about anything."

"Let's go for a while." Shuo Xuan couldn't help sighing, "Although there are many people, this place is more lively than Wuxin Hall."

He found that Wen Xun was staring at him intently, and he rarely smiled, his cold brows softened a lot, "What are you doing looking at me like this?"

The noise in his ears was blown away by the wind, and Wen Xun slowly looked away.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Shi Xianyou just now.It was the same that night, Shi Xianyou carried him back home.

Wen Xun couldn't help but said, "Can I ask you something?"

Shuo Xuan was so patient only when facing him, "Say it."

Wen Xun pursed his lips and thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember where we did...that kind of thing?"

Said Xuan Chu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.He slowly approached, stopped half an inch away from Wen Xun's face, and said four words softly.

Wen Xun was dazed for a moment, and from the other party's mouth shape, he could distinguish the four words - Xiaoxiang Bamboo Sea.

"It's almost there." Shuo Xuan said and put him down, this place is not far from Xuanji Mountain Gate, further up is Ziye Mountain.

"So where are you staying tonight?"

"Lu Huang has arranged everything before the deity comes, so you don't have to worry."

"Um……"

Wen Xun wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.He watched Shuo Xuan's back disappear from sight, and started to turn around and walk towards the mountain gate.

But what he didn't expect was that when he turned his head, he saw Leng Xibie holding a lantern in his hand.

"It looks like I'm going to go back directly." Leng Xibie covered her mouth and coughed, and pushed the wheelchair to his side, "Can I borrow you for a while? I agreed in the medicine house yesterday, and the time has come."

"Yes." In fact, from the news he inquired about today, Wen Xun already had a vague guess, but he didn't want to believe it.

Leng Xibie pushed the wheelchair forward, and the sound of coughing slowly dissipated in the night.

Wen Xun noticed the direction of the road, and couldn't help blurting out, "Mist and dark forest?"

Leng Xi said goodbye: "You will know when you get there."

The night wind blew a chill, Leng Xibie silently took off the cloak and handed it to him, "Put it on."

"No need..." Before Wen Xun finished speaking, the person in front of him had already stuffed the cloak into his hand.There is a bit of residual temperature on it, and it is dyed with a faint medicinal smell.

Leng Xi said goodbye: "Don't freeze yourself."

By the dim light of their lanterns they came out of the Misty Forest, where the night was colder than the day.Wen Xun wrapped his cloak tightly, and was attracted by Leng Xibie's coughing.

The man in the wheelchair was dressed thinly, and his face was even paler in the night, as if there was no trace of blood.

"It's here." Leng Xibie raised his hand and flew a few silver needles, and then a hole was exposed in front of the two of them.

"This is..." The terrain here is complicated, and Wen Xun never thought there would be such a place.He just picked up Wen Ruan's badge near here. Did the murderer really attack Wen Ruan?

"Want to know where this leads?" Leng Xibie handed the lantern to his hand, "I'll wait for you outside."

Wen Xun took the lantern and walked towards the entrance of the cave without any doubts.This cave can barely accommodate two people, but Leng Xibie is unable to push a wheelchair into it because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

He carried the lantern and walked straight in. After walking for a while, he vaguely saw a light in front of him, which showed that the cave was not deep.

Walking to the end of the cave, Wen Xun found that the exit had been blocked by huge stones and could no longer go out.

What is it that is connected to this cave?Was it to hide his whereabouts by taking Wen Ruan so hard to the foggy forest?

Wen Xun pushed the stone blocking the way forward, and was attracted by the conversation outside, which was a pair of master and servant.

"Go back to the owner, the young owner hasn't come back yet."

"It's time for him to play tomorrow, and he went to find his master again?"

"The owner of the village knows the young owner's thoughts on that Mr. Wen. If not, the young owner would not have agreed to participate in Xuandu to win the championship."

"It's Wen Xun again... I'm afraid Xiao'er will go too crazy for him."

"Don't worry, the owner, the young owner will definitely win the championship in one fell swoop."

"It's too early to speak..."

The conversation faded away, followed by surprise.Wen Xun never expected that this cave was connected to Xuanji Bieyuan.

He didn't recover until he got out of the cave.

On the way back, no one spoke.Leng Xibie didn't send him back to Xuanji Gate, but pushed the wheelchair to lead him to another direction.

Wen Xunshi slowly came back to his senses when he reached a three-way intersection.

Leng Xi said goodbye: "Maybe you don't want to believe it, or maybe you don't believe me. Remember what I said? Instead of letting me tell you, it's better to let you see it with your own eyes."

At this time, Wen Xun finally understood what Leng Xibie said - the murderer was by his side.

He finally raised his lips and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Leng Xibie bent her lips, and a faint smile appeared on her pale face, "Go to meet someone who wants to see you."

Wen Xun followed him into the busy city again, this time not to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, but to a very crowded gambling house.

It was hard for him to imagine that Deng Xiao would come to such a place.

Leng Xi don't take him in through the back door of the casino. The boss knew him and quickly arranged a private room for them on the second floor.Once the door was closed, all the noise was shut out.

Then, Leng Xibie went to open the window, sat there motionless and looked at the alley under the casino.

So Wen Xun knew that Leng Xi did not come here just to see the situation in the alley clearly.

In other words, someone must have passed by there.

Not long after, two figures came out of the casino and cautiously entered the alley.Upon closer inspection, one of them looked very familiar.

"Ji Du..." Wen Xun said in disbelief, "How could it be him, isn't he dead..."

The person traveling with Jidu is a disciple of Yinlu Peak, "Brother Jidu, are you leaving Xuandu?"

"Wen Xun is still staying at Xuanji Gate, so of course I won't leave Xuandu." Ji Du snorted and said, "Don't think I don't know, I followed him all the way that day, and what he gave to Master must be fake. Pass this news to Master, and Master will never let him go easily."

"But senior brother Jidu, didn't you say that someone wants to kill you?"

"The man who dared to poison my food must have been hiding in the dark and would not show up blatantly." Ji Du said, "It's a pity for Junior Brother Feibai and Junior Brother Pozhu, because I lost my life in vain. I can't come back now. Xuanjimen, whoever wants to kill me must have something to do with Wen Xun, I must get rid of Wen Xun first."

After listening to Ji Du's words, Wen Xun roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.It should be that the murderer killed the wrong person and let him escape by luck.

While he was waiting for Ji Du's next move, another thin figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.

It's Lantern Festival.

"Want to get rid of my master?" Deng Xiao walked towards them step by step, smiling so chillingly, "There are thousands of ways to kill people, not necessarily by poisoning."

Ji Du suddenly felt his scalp go numb, took two steps back, and suddenly said, "So it was you, you killed Fei Bai!"

"It wasn't me." Deng Xiao's smile gradually cooled down, "I didn't kill him, but you must be."

It was obvious that the other party was just a young man, but Ji Du was so frightened by this momentum that he lost his mind.He watched Deng Xiao pull out his sword, and directly pushed the disciple next to him up.

The disciple lowered his head in a daze, looked at Jidu incredulously, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Are you afraid of death?" A smile climbed up the corner of Deng Xiao's mouth again, without giving Ji Du a chance to fight back, his sword had already passed through the opponent's body, and he pulled it out slowly. This process was long and difficult pain. "No one can hurt him, no one can."

Ji Du spat out a mouthful of blood, and said with his last breath, "Even if you kill me...Wen Xun will definitely die!"

Deng Xiao frowned, pulled out his sword impatiently, and stabbed it into Ji Du's mouth.

Seeing this bloody scene, Wen Xun who was standing in front of the window gasped.His palms were sweating coldly, and his expression was complicated.

But at this moment, Deng Xiao seemed to sense the gaze from elsewhere, and suddenly raised his head to look at the window where he was.
