If you can't die, you count me as loser!

It was night, and the ever-bright lights of Jinming Pond reflected the blurred outlines of the surrounding scenery.

In the boundless garden in the west of the pool, a white bird spread its wings, flew low over the mirror-like lake, and disappeared in the hotel in the north of the pool.

"Flickering—"

The little white bird landed outside Gu Qinghan's window, pecking at the window sill and making noises, trying to attract the owner's attention.

Gu Qinghan changed out of his regular clothes during the day, and was dressed in black, obviously ready to go out, when he heard the sound of opening the window, the little white bird jumped onto his palm and pecked his palm twice.

This was the first time Bi Fang flew back after being kidnapped by Chu Pinglan.

The night dew and pollen on the bird's back showed where the bird was just now, making Gu Qinghan slightly frowned.

After Chu Pinglan joined the group, he didn't pester him to live with him, maybe even Chu Pinglan didn't know that his room was only separated from Gu Qinghan's room by a wall.

This can still be explained by the failed negotiation, but what is even more strange is that Chu Pinglan either just came back or was not there at all after several nights of Gu Qinghan's night visits.

And he didn't find Chu Pinglan's aura at all during his night visits.Chu Pinglan never had the cultivation level to hide his whereabouts from the twelve guards, so Chu Pinglan didn't go out with him.

Gu Qinghan followed the little white bird out, and when he came to Chu Pinglan's room, he could tell that there was no one inside, but the little white bird pecked at the keyhole, as if insisting on him to open the door.

Gu Qinghan easily opened the sixteen locks of the bronze bird, and the lock of the hotel was useless to him.

As soon as the door was opened, Gu Qinghan frowned deeply. Ordinary people might think that this room is clean and fresh, but it smells unbearable when it falls on the nose of Lord Vicious.

The smell of a murderous soul.

Gu Qinghan guessed that he had just arrived, and Gu Qinghan opened the small refrigerator, and there were neatly packed cans of Chu family's special inhibitory medicine, only the lower right corner was missing, probably Chu Pinglan had just drank it.

Just now he wondered how this mission would involve a murderous soul, it turned out to be a dirty business within the Chu family.

Gu Qinghan straightened up, squeezed Bi Fang in his hand, and let him lead the way.

The little white bird jumped from Gu Qinghan's palm to the window sill, spread its white feathers and flew away, the cold spring breeze blew from the open window, the curtain was blown up, and when it fell again, the straight black figure was gone by the window.

...

To the west of Jinming Pond is the main house and garden of the garden. The former "female" owner lived in it. Now the "female" owner has passed away, and there are only people who take care of it regularly.

In late spring, the flowers and trees in the garden bloom and loose powder, and under the distant lights, the clumps of flowers and trees are like clusters of mist with different colors and smells.

Gu Qinghan followed Chu Pinglan's aura and walked all the way, and found that this guy was just walking around, not at all like investigating a case, more like a depressed alcoholic who wanted to die.

Although no one was found, Gu Qinghan could already imagine his appearance as a walking dead.

Xiyuan is a three-entry courtyard, with a group of side buildings like a maze, and there are colorful flowers everywhere, covering an extremely large area. If ordinary people come back, they will get lost with a map.

After entering the first door, Gu Qinghan looked sideways as if aware of it, and he saw Chu Pinglan standing among the flowers.

Normally, Chu Pinglan would have heard Gu Qinghan's movements before he entered the door, but unfortunately today is a day when his body and mind are at a low ebb, Gu Qinghan walked towards him without rushing, but he just stood there numbly. with.

Chu Pinglan watched him coming from the door, consciously knew that Gu Qinghan was coming, but his body was too exhausted to respond, the abnormal pain in his blood stimulated him, and he said stiffly, "I didn't because You came here because you like to fight against the Chu family."

He responded to Gu Qinghan's words in the evening, but even he himself knew it was not true, the reasons he said were not non-existent, but it would not be so hard for him to fade in suddenly.

Gu Qinghan didn't speak, but looked at Chu Pinglan with long eyes.He thought of Chu Pinglan's age, 23 years old, just the age of a weak crown, especially with this guy's conditions, he should be the age that everyone is looking at and shining, but the person in front of him is...

Chu Pinglan was speechless, his gaze was like the cold moonlight, illuminating him in the darkness, and it was like a gentle breeze blowing away the dust that weighed down his breathless body.

It seems that there is just no way to duplicity with this person.

"Let's go." Gu Qinghan didn't seem to have heard his stunned words just now, and reached out to touch his head as if touching Bi Fang. The extremely light and fast movement stopped before Chu Pinglan could react. hands.

Chu Pinglan's gaze flickered for a moment, and then he followed Gu Qinghan around the maze-like Xiyuan, his body functions gradually came online, and he sneezed the next moment.

"Ahhhhhhhhh" Chu Pinglan sneezed a series of sneezes, making the sound of a pig snorting, and finally pinched his nose in distaste, with a look on his face, "Something must have caught me just now." This is definitely not what this young master looks like."

Gu Qinghan raised his eyes and looked around, but found nothing unusual, took out his handkerchief and handed it to Chu Pinglan, giving him a puzzled look.

"Hay pollen allergies." Chu Pinglan's voice was nasal, the tip of his nose was red, and he wiped his nose. For the first time tonight, he raised the handkerchief in his hand, "It smells like you."

"..." Then he went to the West Garden.

Gu Qinghan knew why Chu Pinglan was here without thinking, so he took Chu Pinglan's collar and led him up to the roof.

"Ah!" Chu Pinglan took the handkerchief away from his nose as if liberated, took a deep breath, and finally recovered his habitual smile, "I've wanted to smell the air above for a long time."

Gu Qinghan wanted to yell at him, but he practiced by himself, but he didn't say anything, thinking of Chu Pinglan's physique, he didn't yell at him.

Chu Pinglan saw it, and said calmly, "Do you think I'm pitiful?"

Gu Qinghan didn't speak, looked at his smile, and thought of his strange behavior recently, couldn't tell his intentions.

Chu Pinglan smiled brighter, "Then I will reward you as my exclusive mount."

"Just you, ride me?" Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, turned back, instead of throwing him out, he jumped to the next roof with him, "Go back and practice for another 500 years."

"Mr. Gu, do you mean to wait for me for 500 years? I'm so touched," Chu Pinglan hit the snake on the stick, but was lifted to a higher roof, and blurted out, "Ah, before changing positions, I'm afraid of heights." .”

Gu Qinghan let go of his hand, and put him in a position in the back, so that his feet would not fall and his eyes fell to the garden.

"What do you see?" Chu Pinglan raised his head and asked him, not looking at the garden below his feet.

"Most of the Jinming Pools have been remodeled later, but Xiyuan is exactly the same as in the paintings 200 years ago." Gu Qinghan inspected the panorama of the garden thoughtfully, and said, "And Mrs. Xiang stayed here to guard the gate. The female officer once leaked her words, when patrolling the courtyard at night and locking the door, she would often see men in Tsing Yi pruning flowers and trees."

Chu Pinglan snorted, "Not only that, the flowers here can also mutate."

Gu Qinghan looked sideways at him.

Chu Pinglan looked carefully with his chin in his hand, and then pointed to a cloud-like cluster of flowers on the right, "That's the hibiscus, a new variety introduced at the garden party last year."

"Madam Xiang photographed it?" Gu Qinghan asked, paying attention to Chu Pinglan's emotions imperceptibly from the corner of his eye.

Chu Pinglan sneered, "She wouldn't go to an exhibition run by a dude."

"Besides, I can feel that she hates this place." Chu Pinglan rubbed her chin, "Although I didn't find out why, but she hated it so much and bought it. There must be a reason, maybe it has something to do with your mission relation."

Hearing the phrase "she hates this place very much", Gu Qinghan turned his gaze, looked at Chu Pinglan with long eyes, pursed his thin lips slightly, without further explanation, just said, "Maybe."

"I asked the gardener what was going on," Chu Pinglan turned his face and smiled, "Guess what?"

"how?"

"They can only stay in the garden for half a year at most, and they can only come back once every two weeks. The current one doesn't know when the predecessor planted it." Chu Pinglan sat down on the roof where he thought it was safe, and looked at the light under the moon. The white fluorescent moon hibiscus, "If there is no ghost in my heart, how can I change people."

Gu Qinghan came to investigate this place last, because he had doubts about the weird Xiyuan everywhere, and now he is almost certain. As for why Chu Pinglan wandered around to this ghostly place to catch the gardener who came back every two weeks, He didn't break it either.

"When did it start?" Gu Qinghan sat beside him.

Chu Pinglan looked at him, blinked, and said, "Six years ago."

As soon as this time point came out, it was basically certain that all these anomalies were related to the theft of the Palace of Eternal Life.

Gu Qinghan's long fingers moved slightly, wanting to reach out and touch his head like before, but finally controlled it, with a low and firm voice, "I know you didn't do it."

Chu Pinglan, who was eager to dump the blame on him, had seen too much, and was the first one who was eager to get rid of it.

Chu Pinglan asked, "Then do you know who did it?"

"You don't know." Gu Qinghan answered him naturally, as if stating an extremely trivial matter.

Chu Pinglan smiled, he really knew.

He was seventeen that year, and Shen Yechen was twelve.The Zhenluan meeting was held in the Bianzhou headquarters of Tingyulou, and Mrs. Xiang took him there for the first time.

When he saw Shen Yechen release four evil spirits in the Hall of Eternal Life, and the ghost guards of the hall master quickly encircled and captured him as a thief, he realized where Mrs. Xiang's "kindness" came from.

It's a pity that Shen Yechen was still too young at that time, and he couldn't hold on to it when he was released. This time, he joined the group probably for the purpose of taking them back one by one.

Mrs. Xiang probably didn't expect that the partner she had chosen would betray her and go solo. She just wanted to find a son who would make him a stigma, but she almost died because of that time.

It was only after that time that Mrs. Xiang found her speed, no matter how much she went too far, she would not hurt Chu Pinglan's life.She wanted him to be useful.

Chu Pinglan thought about it, boredly went to lift the tiles under his hands, just lifted a piece, but froze on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghan noticed his strangeness, and looked away from the garden.

"...Here." Chu Pinglan stretched out his finger, and Gu Qinghan followed his finger to look into the small space vacated by the tile——

There was silence everywhere, only Ye Jie, who was hiding somewhere, occasionally screamed strangely.

Under the gap, flickering candles lit up the room, and a man in blue was looking up at them.

Chu Pinglan was agitated, the last time he felt this way was when Chuchu met Shen Yechen.

"You know him?" Gu Qinghan put the tile back calmly.

"I don't know," Chu Pinglan replied honestly, adding another knife, "He is definitely not alive."

Gu Qinghan smiled lightly, "Of course he's not alive."

That was his mission goal.

Thinking of something, Chu Pinglan looked at Gu Qinghan intently with peachy eyes, and said seriously, "I don't know why you took this trip, but if you want, I will help you."

"You want to help me?" Gu Qinghan also looked at him with long eyes, "It's okay to stay here, don't follow."

As he said that, he got up and drew his sword, thinking about it and preparing to chase the "person" just now.

Chu Pinglan raised his eyes, and looked at Gu Qinghan's gesture of not taking him there, the moonlight shone like frost on Gu Qinghan's straight back, separating himself in the shadow, and his eyelashes slowly drooped.

"I've been in the game for a long time, what difference does it make if I go or not? Can you not, don't... leave me behind."

A wooden voice came, with imperceptible grievances, as if invisible hands were clenched, making people's hearts ache.It not only refers to the situation of Gu Qinghan, but also refers to the situation that Chu Pinglan cannot escape from.

Gu Qinghan's back froze, put away the sword, turned around and squatted down, looked at the guy sitting on the spot with a dejected face, as if he couldn't do anything about him, suddenly loosened his body, and said something that Chu Pinglan will never forget, " I'll let you leave it, as long as you behave."

Chu Pinglan raised his eyes, the peach blossom eyes reflecting the moonlight looked like a small animal in a trap, but everyone said he was a scourge.

Looking at Gu Qinghan's deep phoenix eyes, he suddenly smiled, "I am obedient, what reward do I have?"

It's like at the moment when suicide is about to drown, you suddenly don't want to miss this possibility; it's like being in the dark for a long time, and suddenly seeing a little fire, even if you are selfish, even if you are struggling, you can't help but fight for it.

Gu Qinghan's five senses were sensitive, and he noticed the strange smell of blood in the air. He pulled Chu Pinglan's hand over his back, frowned, and after a long while, he suddenly relaxed, and looked up at him deeply, "How do you want to be like this?" award?"

Chu Pinglan's hands are very beautiful, Gu Qinghan has known for a long time, those hands are not as rough as those of them who hold swords and guns all the year round, they are slender and beautiful, they are hands that should be pampered.

But now he is tightly holding a crescent-shaped white jade ring pendant, which is Mr. Yun's magic weapon. It has been used in Chu Pinglan's hand to become a folding knife for nothing. .

"I didn't do it," Chu Pinglan let Gu Qinghan pull his bleeding hand, but still clenched his fist, as if he didn't know the pain at all, and said innocently, "I took too much medicine and couldn't control it." Strength, you can't take back the reward because of this."

As if he was afraid that Gu Qinghan would break his promise.

Gu Qinghan looked at him with dark eyes, remembering that in Jin Mingchi's legend, one brother and sister got blood and the other suffered bad luck, so he lowered his head and forcibly squeezed his clenched hand away, and bandaged him, "Let's see how you behave first."

How long.But in just a short period of time, this guy has become like this?What stimulated you?It's never been this far before.

Looking at the blood stains in the jade, the interlacing of old scabs and new scars on the wound, one can tell that this is not the first time.And looking at the wound, he reckoned that such actions hadn't stopped in the past few days.

"Aren't you going after him?"

"If you keep arguing, you won't even have to watch your performance."

"Ah."

"There are jade balls in it, why don't you say it."

"You tell me not to make noise."

"..."

...

Bi Fang chirped and jumped around, wondering how the two masters let Qinglong go away. I don't know how many times he secretly tried to peck Gu Qinghan's butt and was beaten, and finally spread his wings and flew away without seeing.
