For the peace of the fairy world

On the way back from the martial arts arena to the residence of Emei disciples, Lin Xiangxiang remained silent.

The female companion knew that she must be astonished and disappointed in her heart. Who knew that the fiancé her parents had arranged for her was actually such a person with a low personality and an ugly appearance.

The two of them flew in the air on a white crane, and passed above the Jinghu Lake surrounded by Bishan Mountains.

Lin Xiangxiang suddenly stopped the white crane and continued to move forward, urging it to circle above the mirror lake.

The female companion said in surprise: "Think about it..."

Lin Xiangxiang stared at the lake with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the white crane obeyed her order and circled close to the lake.A flash of determination flashed across her face, she reached out and tore off a piece of beautiful jade from her neck, and threw it vigorously into the lake below.

The female companion recognized that it was the half piece of Lingyu she had been wearing all the time, which was given to her by her father.He couldn't help saying: "Think about it, isn't this..." Such a high-quality Lingyu, even if it is only half a piece, is still a treasure.

Lin Xiangxiang looked at Lingyu sinking into the lake, bit his lips hard and said, "It's nothing!" Then, the white crane carried her up into the air again, and flew towards the original route.

The female companion roughly guessed that this piece of jade was probably related to that Yu Xiao, took one last look at the sinking location of the Lingyu, and followed Lin Xiangxiang's figure to leave.

About a quarter of an hour after the two of them left, a white tiger came out of the forest by the lake, slowly crossed the grass, came to the lake, jumped onto a rock near the water, and buried its head to drink.

After taking a few sips, the white tiger lay down on the rock, washing his face with his paws, and suddenly felt that something delicious in the lake was attracting him.

It is the kind of stone it likes to eat most.It is a spirit beast, and it cannot be attracted by the flesh and blood of animals. Only by absorbing the aura in the stone can it feel full.

The owner has set a certain amount for it every day, and it is not allowed to eat more. Only occasionally when it is happy, it will give it two more yuan.But at this moment, it felt that in the water not far in front of it lay quietly the delicious food that made it covet, and the aura contained in it was almost half a year's ration.

The white tiger jumped up excitedly, and jumped into the lake with a "plop", splashing big water.

Fang Huai and Yueku Daoist returned to their yard in Jiyue Peak, took out the music score and invited him first.At this time, the stewards in charge of various places in the Dao Jian Dao Conference also came to answer, Fang Huai took care of the chores one by one, and then went to accompany Master Yueku.

Both of them were in the house, Xiaotong was sent away by Fang Huai to run some errands, and the yard was quiet.

The white tiger lightly jumped over the courtyard gate, and when it sensed that its master was in the house, it sneaked under the tree and began digging holes.

The door creaked open, Fang Huai said at the door, "Dabai?"

Dabai stopped his digging paws, came over and rubbed his head against the corner of his clothes "snoring".Fang Huai touched its head, and the spirit ring on his thumb immediately sensed the abundant spirit energy in the spirit jade it was carrying. He raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand and said, "Hand it over."

Dabai whimpered pitifully, but Fang Huai was unmoved, with such a big man, did he think that he was still that cub who acted coquettishly and cutely in his arms back then?

Dabai whimpered again, reluctantly, he spat out the half of the jade pendant into Fang Huai's palm.

Fang Huai weighed the jade pendant in his hand, stroked its shape, and was a little surprised.

He tapped the white tiger's forehead lightly with the jade pendant, and reprimanded him, "Where did you steal it from? Have you learned how to cause trouble?"

Dabai let out a low growl of grievance, and rushed up to the big tree next to him, but Fang Huai couldn't get down no matter how much he shouted.

Fang Huai couldn't laugh or cry, sighed, put Lingyu away, and turned back to the house.

In the next day's competition, Fang Huai saw Yu Xiao again.Yu Xiao was still the same, standing alone in one place, no one talked to him, and he was too lazy to talk to others.

It wasn't until Fang Huai came over that he let him sit with her.

Because of the subtle conflict yesterday, neither of them spoke. After a period of silence, Fang Huai compromised first, and took the initiative to chat with Yu Xiao.The atmosphere between the two returned to normal.

It was less than half an hour before the competition started. At this time, it was time for the disciples of each sect to come to the scene to communicate and prepare. The leaders of the younger generation disciples of each sect, out of courtesy, came over to meet Fang Huai, who was the representative of the host. greet.Fang Huai could only let Yu Xiao sit beside him first, and get up by himself to return the salutes and greetings to the disciples of various sects who came and went.

It was Lin Xiangxiang who was sent by Emei.Although her cultivation and swordsmanship are not the first among the nine generations of Emei disciples, she has a beautiful appearance and an exquisite heart in dealing with people, which is quite recognized by the teachers and sisters. In addition, her aptitude and cultivation are not weak, so He became the representative of Emei disciples of the same generation.

When Lin Xiangxiang got closer, he realized that the frightening Yu Xiao was sitting not far behind Fang Huai, his expression was a little unnatural, but he still maintained the etiquette and exchanged a few words with Fang Huai.

Fang Huai greeted a few words, and suddenly remembered that the jade pendant brought by Baihu yesterday had a faint powdery smell, most of it was worn by women all the year round, and Emei had the most female disciples among all sects, so he asked with a smile: " Dare I ask Junior Sister Lin, is there any girl in your sect who lost Peiyu yesterday?"

Lin Xiangxiang couldn't help being startled, his face was a little stiff, and he said, "No... no one has ever thrown Peiyu away."

Fang Huai didn't know what she was thinking, and thought to himself, "Well, it must not have been left behind by fellow Taoists from your sect."

Lin Xiangxiang really wanted to ask one more question, could it be that the jade she threw in the lake was picked up by someone?But after thinking about it, she always wears that jade next to her body, hidden in the skirt of her clothes, except for her close female companions, almost no one has seen it.Even if Fang Huai really got it and asked the owner, no one would know it was hers.

She was determined to break off the marriage that seemed to be a half joke, so she stopped asking about Yupei, instead she found an excuse and walked away as if she wanted to avoid it.

Fang Huai waited for her to leave before he realized that Yu Xiao was sitting behind him. Sister Lin, one of the protagonist's future three major harems, actually left without even asking Yu Xiao?

It seems that the scar on Yu Xiao's face is still the problem. Fang Huai rubbed his chin and thought, it is human instinct to judge people by their appearance before they have a deep understanding.Even if there is a halo of the protagonist, it won't work.

Fang Huai sat back on his seat, Yu Xiao said, "Did you pick up someone else's jade pendant?"

Just as Fang Huai was about to answer, a Taibai disciple came over and said, "Senior Brother Fang."

Fang Huai sent someone to call him, Fang Huai said with a smile: "Although I know you are very busy, there is one thing I have to ask you to pay attention to."

"Brother, just follow orders."

Fang Huai took out a jade pendant, or it should be half of it, from the treasure pouch in his sleeve and said, "You ask the people below to ask who lost this jade pendant, and if you find the owner, return it as it is."

Yu Xiao caught a glimpse of the jade pendant, and before the disciple took it, she reached out and intercepted it: "How did you get this piece of jade?"

Fang Huai was taken aback and said, "Could it be yours?"

Although it wasn't Yu Xiao's, Yu Xiao recognized it.This is a rare spiritual jade produced in a place called Heze in Yanzhou in the northeast of the mainland, called Sui Lanyu.The piece in his hand can be seen at a glance, it should have been his father Yu Xinyan's personal belongings.It was originally a whole piece, but it was split into two halves.Yupei's other half was given to him by his father a few years ago.And this half of the money should have been given to the Gusu Lin family by his father as a wedding gift.

If Yu Xiao told the origin of this jade pendant, Fang Huai might remember it - this is the token of love between the protagonist and Sister Lin in the original text.However, the novel is too long, and the main character has too many harems. How could Fang Huai remember all the details like tokens of love.

Yu Xiao gathered the jade pendant in her hands: "This is Sui Lanyu, it belongs to my father." She didn't say anything else.

Of course he knew that this piece of jade should have been worn by Lin Xiangxiang.It's just that Fang Huai and Lin Xiangxiang's conversation just now, he heard clearly. If Lin Xiangxiang lost this jade accidentally, how could he avoid it like that.

Fang Huai was unaware of the origin of the jade pendant, but he didn't expect the owner to be found so easily, and said with a smile, "It's really hard to find anywhere, and it didn't take much effort to get it."

Yu Xiao stared at the jade pendant and said, "It was originally a piece of jade that was cut in half, making it a pair."

Fang Huai said "Oh": "The other half is with you? The quality and carving work of this jade pendant are top-notch, so don't lose it casually."

Yu Xiao glanced at him and said, "Senior brother, do you like it? Why don't I give it to senior brother?"

Fang Huai just praised casually, but he didn't expect him to give it away as soon as he said it, and hurriedly said: "No need, it's something that uncle gave you, take it back and put it away..."

Yu Xiao said: "This jade pendant is half for one person, so it doesn't make any sense for me to hold a pair by myself."

As he said that, he leaned over, flipped his hand, and sent a ray of spiritual consciousness into the jade pendant without being noticed, and then stuffed half of the jade into Fang Huai's hand, and said softly: "Why don't senior brothers keep the half for me?" Bar."

The jade split in half is half for one person?When Fang Huai heard this plot, it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

Yu Xiao had already stuffed the jade into his palm, grabbed his hand to hold the jade tightly, and said: "Go back and find a rope, tie it up and put it on, brother and I are half of each other."

Fang Huai has long been accustomed to his overly intimate gestures and this somewhat inexplicable and slightly ambiguous way of speaking, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with it. Seeing his firm attitude, he only thought that he had to give this gift on a whim, so In response to the sentence "Okay", I took the jade away.However, the disciple who witnessed the interaction between the two had a strange expression on his face.

The two of them talked again as if no one was there, and the competition began immediately. On the wooden frame several feet wide not far away, the disciples who were in charge of announcing the candidates for each competition stage hung up the cards with everyone's names written on them one by one. .

Yu Xiao found her name in the pair of cards and went to her competition arena.Fang Huai was busy with affairs at hand, he only stood under his stage for a while, and then left to listen to the reports from the disciples in charge of the meeting.

As soon as the clock rang at noon, Fang Huai finally got out of the big and small things, and went to look for Yu Xiao in the martial arts arena.It is too far away from Mingjing Peak, but very close to his small courtyard on Jiyue Peak, so Yu Xiao can rest there at noon.

However, when he came not far from Yu Xiao's competition stage, he heard Yu Xiao talking with someone.

Fang Huai had firmly memorized this person's voice and aura when he received the Kunlun people before the Sword Discussion Conference.

In front of Yu Xiao stood a Taoist in the shape of a middle-aged man.This Taoist has a good appearance and a kind expression, with a short beard on his chin, he looks calm, like a gentle and amiable elder.It can be seen from the robe he is wearing that he is a member of the Kunlun sect, and most of them are elders with a high seniority in Kunlun.

When Fang Huai heard his voice and the content of the conversation, his originally relaxed mood immediately sank.

When he walked over, the Taoist said to Yu Xiao, "Are you the son of Daoist Daiyang? Hahaha, as expected, the tiger father has no dogs..."

Fang Huai stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "This junior has met Senior Lou."

Master Songquan, that is, Elder Lou from Kunlun, turned around, looked him in the eye, and said in surprise, "You belong to Master Hongqu..."

Fang Huai bowed and said, "Junior Fang Huai, I had the honor to meet seniors when I was guiding fellow Taoists and seniors from Kunlun earlier. Daoist Hongqu is the mother of this junior."

Elder Lou suddenly said: "Yes." He glanced at Yu Xiao and said with a smile, "You also came to look for Yu Xiao?"

The corners of Fang Huai's eyes twitched: "Yes." He raised his head a little respectfully, showing a trace of doubt, and smiled, "I don't know that Senior and Junior Brother Yu also know each other."

Elder Lou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I happened to pass by here on an appointment with fellow Taoists, and saw that the child's aptitude was different, so I asked him a few words. It was time to leave." He flicked his sleeves, He said to Yu Xiao: "Son, it's fate to meet you and me today, we still have a chance to meet."

Yu Xiao lowered her head and said lightly, "Thank you, Master, for your care."

Elder Lou caressed his beard with a smile, and walked away against the wind.
